We got a bunch of great stuff coming out, but of course we do have room for a few more. Stories. So let us now in speaking of great stories, I have an amazing one for you today to actually better than great it's a college student, the ends up, creating aside hustle earning

forty thousand dollars a month. That's right, not forty thousand dollars a year Forty thousand dollars a month and destroy focuses on you to me, which is an online educational platform we talked about you. Do me a couple of times in season one. There was episode, three o three, where a published author as an income source and makes an extra twenty one thousand dollars were first year and also episode to thirty seven stop. Looking around a woman on food stamps earns eighty six thousand dollars teaching people to bake bread. That's actually one of my favorite episodes of all time not to deal here, but that college student, who creates a series of courses on that.

Back of ethical hacking. What's ethical hacking, we'll stay tuned and I'll tell you and, as I mentioned, he goes on to earn five figures in net income each month from these materials. It's a huge success. I'll tell you exactly how it happened right after this quick shot out to our sponsor for college student and self described ethical hacker Zaire, our Karachi, everything seems to be going. According to plan is website teaching arabic speakers had an ethically hack was making decent money. He was doing well

ass, we even had some cash left over to by himself in nice car, but then he encountered a challenge driving school one morning the engine of his car blew out and left him with no means of transportation. For the coming months, topped off with a few other financial commitments, Zaire was in dire need of five thousand dollars, not exactly money. A college kid has long around in the dorm room to help solve the problem. A close friend recommended that saw you take a look at the website. You to me: that's utumbi, dot com, you d, em, why dot com that thousands of people looking for courses likes AIDS and he could reach many more people and with his current website, so you thought it was a good idea. You already created all the material poorest, ethical hacking courses. You just need to translate the audio to English he dubbed over as existing course using the free. I movie software that came preinstalled on his laptop now. What is this topic all about? I should point out that Zaire doesn't make his money teaching people to hack like the bad guys. You see on the news instead zionist here.

Something called ethical hacking which he describes. Like a Marshall art. If you were to learn Kung fu, you could use it to either defend yourself or go out and hurt people. Black hat hackers would use their kung fu skills to steal your identity, while using the free wifi at Starbucks, but white had hackers likes I'd, use their skills to hack pre, approve security systems and in health systems, improve their online defences are back to setting up the course, because you to me charges no fees to upload a course and works entirely. A profit share bases side was able to create and uploading courses with minimal cost. In fact, he invested just forty five dollars to get going twenty five bucks on a basic microphone that he found online and twenty bucks on a screen recording programme that was it and guess what sales took off right away.

I'm just getting there actually really slow for the first few months. After putting his course, Zaire saw virtually no sales at all. He had met he's, not great marketing. I wasn't sure how to get his course out to an English speaking audience. He finally managed to see some initial sales through read it and Facebook, and he felt he was gaining momentum. Then something major happened when he began to get those initial sales Utumbi stepped into help. They noticed his potential to become a top instructor, so they distributed his course through their utumbi marketing boost programme. This is essentially a programme where they promote the course to their internal audience and by the way you looking to use you to me as well, you can request to be part of that programme is not just a magical thing that happens, but you're gonna make sure your courses are.

Strong and well received by those who taken them so far too important to get some good initial reviews. After getting promoted by you to me, as I did see, assail spike, then he made another course and then another the students and assailed kept coming in the hundreds of thousands and then the tens of thousands Saeed made more courses. There's now, eight and total May retail between fifty and two hundred dollars What is all this out up to what first bar is aid has more than eighty seven thousand students, and these are not free students are some people who got a lower rate or did a free trial or something, but a lot of them have pay between fifty and two hundred dollars to take the class he's now averaging around forty thousand dollars and might in total course. Sales is also stop. Selling is arrogant courses in focuses full time on an English speaking audience. So what is it wise to you? But if you ve got something that you're going out you're thinking about developing a course dies, advice is first of all

experiment a lot brainstorm ideas in try, multiple approaches when it comes to online training. It Important figure out what performs well to do that record. The results in refer back to them to helps all future problems piece of advice is a bit on conventional. He suggests you create your own virtual team of mentors and he's mentor don't have to actually exist release. You ought to know them or speak to them. The point is that when you have a problem, you think about how these people, perhaps their business celebrities, perhaps her somebody look up to purchase an avatar, some kind of imaginary person you create in your head. When you have a problem, you research, how they would saw that and apply it to your own project. You try to learn from these people's mistakes in past problems and think about solutions for your situation. Looking to the future is I eat is working to expand. His courses into different languages is now in the process of turning when it is flagship courses into a buck. After spending that twenty five dollars on a microphone.

Is now created his own recording studio and bought higher quality equipment to helping produce more valuable courses to his tens of thousands of students, and remember this all came from the goal of halving enough cash to fix his car a right. Let's look at this little bets worthwhile, congrats desire. This is obviously a tremendous huge success. Does every year in the course of these results must acknowledge up front at the answer is no, in fact most of them don't, but it also not a complete fluke. Reparation like there are dozens of them out there that cell, in the tens of thousands of dollars a month. So it really is about finding that perfect topic that perfect connection with the audience.

It's not just about you to me. This is just one platform. The same is true across lots of different online education platforms. Most of the courses don't do that. Well, some of them do ok, but then there are some market leaders like this one that really are leading the pack and showing tremendous results month after month. It's not just about technology. By the way, hacking is a hot topic, but remember that the other stories we featured using this platform are about baking. Bread and putting your novel does not exactly high tech topics right. What they are is useful, so usefulness is the key in fact All three of these topics are things that a large group of people want to learn whether attacking baking, bread or putting that novel. There are a lot of people who want to do those things so, if you're the authority to teach them while your skills are valuable and what need to focus on is probably not

answering your skills further, because you're already further along in the average person, what you need to focus on is the packaging like. How are you gonna present this knowledge? What is the best format, one of the primary benefits of someone acquiring this knowledge like? How does it affect their life, thinking about those things and then developing a curriculum and then building the actual course? That's the best approach. That's why people likes I eat or succeed Well, I hope you enjoy the story. There are so many more to come. As I said, and you remember, inspiration is good, but inspiration with action is better. Today so notes, including links to everything I mentioned, are three allows you to me. Courses and some other free resources are at sight of school dotcom. Slash three six, eight come on over hi.
