<p>In June 2020 I decided to start teaching philosophy online. 10 months later I've now had +250 participants from +30 countries. How did I do that?</p>


<p>It all started when I quit my academic job in May 2020; I wrote about it <a title="" href="https://medium.com/swlh/my-venture-to-bring-philosophy-back-to-the-marketplace-469090db22fb?sk=1561b3d42e1644f0dbb2b5bb99997fe3" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>, explaining how I ended up becoming a freelancer.</p>
<p>A year ago I wouldn't have thought I could be making a living from online courses. While the pandemic might have influenced a lot in the change of people's mindset, paving the way for an 'acceptance' of online teaching, I think this is here to stay.</p>
<p>In this video course, I will show you how I was able to make a living by teaching online as a freelancer, and what I learned along the way including the mistakes I did, and what I could have perhaps done better. And I will show you that if you want to venture into the digital world, you too can teach online irrespective of your background, experience, skills or subject of interest.</p>
<p>This course might also be helpful for those who are thinking about launching an online business.</p>
