I don’t have the solution to all but at least one of these ideas should help you build a business online. And if you do? Be sure to share your experience with me.

21 online business ideas for teachers

1. Create a blog to talk about controversial issues in your focus subject: IF your a history teacher you can focus on a particular historical period and not only blog about it but focu on an audience in a specific market like other teacers, children, librarians.
2. Create a wiki website for a micro focused niche. The difference here is that your getting several colleague to help contribute. Inspirie them by telling hem they can teach the RIGHT way instead of what institutions want them to teach.
3. Online tutoring: sure there are plenty of sites but few people you can actually trust. You could offer FREE info and private online tutoring and use Go to Meeting or Go to Webinar.com. Also of course you could market educational materials and ebook and books you actually write or through affiliates.
4. Create multiple learning systems for Math: people learn differently help them by introducing a quiz system to test them and then offer them the best course for them to learn.
5. Create a 24 hour Math college chat: no matter what the course there are ALWAYS questions in the middle of the night. provide access plus mobile access. In fact develop an app for them to use with formulas etc.
6. Rich Dad Poor Dad for College Students: create a series of learning blogs that help students learn how to become better investors and financiers.
7. Teachers Boss for Dummies: a online site, ebook and book for teachers to learn how to deal with difficult supervisors (principles deans etc)
8. Educators Gone Rouge: This is one of my favorite online business ideas because its a blog/website targeting out the box not so in the rules. The goal here is to develop a site that shows people in the education profession how to help their students learn. The catch being these strategies would be AROUND the system. Use at your own risk but many real teachers are using them anyway.
9. Community for Teachers in a specific profession: micro niche and geo targeting are BIG right now. You could focus on all college majors for ivory league professors and targeted the English field.
10. Online role play games for learning: do a blog that would review and educate others in online role games. For instance math could be running a business , history could be a role play in a historical period. You get students or from the institution angle using the site to get a better education.
11. Teachers report card: a online site for grading teachers. Students and parents can grade their teacher. This is sort of how
12. Passion discovery: one of the most important things to me is to be able to find what you love , your talents and pinpoint a revenue source. Why not help students discover this proccess BEFORE they are out in the real world with no idea.
13. Super Hot Case Study: a case study website for EVERYTHING and every subject.
14. Dumb as Bricks: a site that shares some of the stupidest things ever done by students.
15. Application in Real Life Site: a website that shows you how you can apply any learning lesson or subject or major to your real life.
16. Institutional BS Website: a website that lets faculty and student rate the registration proccess. From easy and quick to super difficult you can find out what your in for BEFORE you pursue a collegedegree there.
17. WHY are you doing this?: a website that focuses on questioning students career plans. Kind of like #12 but a little more probing and aggressive.
18. Write a ebook and book series on the subject you teach.
19. They LIE! This a little controversial thus one of the online business ideas I like (yes I am a hell raiser). Create a website telling students the TRUTH if they will ever be able to actually use a particular form of education in real life application.
20. Language webinars: Have a weekly online session for launguage students to learn a language better. In other words a training with an actual person who is using Rosetta Stone.
21. Membership sites for specific career professionals: I have an almost endless amount of online business ideas for this. History teachers create a history club for a specific period, math teachers create a educational online place for people in your field of study.
