Want to make money while you're building your credibility and being exposed to hundreds of thousands of potential clients worldwide? Teacher Continuing Education Workshops can teach classes and seminars. You don't need a degree or teacher certification, just helpful knowledge so that you can share with others.

There are thousands of Teacher Continuing Education Workshops and lifetime learning programs out there, and they are looking for you. You have expertise that you can share for what you pay. And, because the person at front of the room is viewed as an expert, you will also certainly boost your expert reputation.

Look around for course catalogs from local universities or community colleges. Also watch for announcements of classes offered by some of the other organizations. Review their courses offered listings. Think of something that they are not currently offering that seems to be a good fit with their some other classes. Sketch out an outline, then call and ask how you can propose a course to them. Usually, they will want a course description for the catalog, an outline, and some information about your qualifications ...
... and little more.

Now, for the bad news: You won't get rich by being a Teacher Continuing Education Workshops in these classes. You may get paid a set hourly rate as low as $15 - $20 per class hour, or you may receive a percentage of the class fees. These rates may be negotiable, so go in prepared to ask for what you want. By the way, all of my classes are just one session each, usually three hours long.

There are a few very good reasons to teach, even if you don't get paid a lot for it. One, you get exposure in the catalog which can be valuable. Teacher Continuing Education Workshops sends out hundreds of thousands of catalogs a year, and my classes, bio information are in every one of them. If someone likes your class, but they need more help, they will turn to you.

Sell manuals and other materials through my courses, either as required texts or as optional back-of-the-room sales. In a typical Teacher Continuing Education Workshops, you will make more on these sales than on teaching fees. After-expenses profit for a class has ranged from a low of $75 (for three hours) to a high of more than $1,500 (also for three hours).
Many people turn away from these opportunities because it seems like you make more money when you self-sponsor your Teacher Continuing Education Workshops and seminars. However, if you put class on by yourself, you have to absorb the cost (in time, money or both) of marketing and registration, as well as the cost of booking any room. And, if the class doesn't make (which happens), you are out that money with no offsetting your income.

In addition to teaching classes through colleges and such, look for someone to sponsor your class as a Teacher Continuing Education Workshops. Do a marketing class which has been sponsored by chambers of commerce as a benefit for their members. A professional association may be willing to sponsor your seminar as a fundraiser, where you can share revenues.

Teaching gives you an expert reputation, increases your income, and Teacher Continuing Education Workshops are fun. http://www.azseitraining.com/
