KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Start building and producing your online courses right now. If you have already established your credibility then you have an advantage as people will come looking for you. But if you’re just starting, it’s best you manage your expectations, it will take time and effort building up your following.
• You’ll need a lot of patience if you want to see significant results from the content you post. These are little treasures waiting to be opened by the ones who need it. It doesn’t get deleted, and it doesn’t get lost. You’ll just have to update it from time to time.
• Do multiple online guitar courses. Portion them; write about sub-niches that you are very knowledgeable of. It’s better if you concentrate on a funnelled down topic since there’s already a plethora of resources available online for the mainstream ones.
• The best thing about this is it can be a passive means of an income stream, you can earn more if you create better quality content. This has been perfect for Neil since it expands reach. Whilst he teaches inside the classroom, he also assists self-study students online through his lessons.

BEST MOMENTS

• “Once you’ve built an intellectual property, and it starts to generate money for you, you’ll realise it’s an asset.”
• “I can reach out to people who can’t get to me whenever and wherever I want.”
• “All you haven’t written yet…it can be paying you for years.”
