Monetising your Expertise: How to Earn a Second Revenue Stream by Teaching on The Learning Chimp


Jun 16, 2025

As education evolves, instructors, tutors, coaches and course creators across Africa and beyond are discovering a powerful opportunity: monetising your expertise by selling your knowledge on The Learning Chimp. This isn’t just passion for pedagogy—it’s a strategy to build a second income that grows with your impact and reach.


Why Selling Your Knowledge Generates Strong Secondary Income

1. Scalable Impact = Scalable Income

Unlike one-to-one tutoring with capped hours, digital courses and coaching packages allow you to teach hundreds of learners at once—expanding your reach without scaling time.

2. Passive and Semi-passive Revenue

Once your course is live, it continues to sell—even while you’re offline—turning your skills into long-term assets.

3. Diversified Income Streams

Offering both live coaching and self-paced learning lets you balance immediate revenue (live sessions) with evergreen sales (courses), smoothing income over time.

4. Flexibility for Busy Professionals

If you already teach or consult, supplementing with online offerings ensures you maintain freedom in your schedule rather than adding another full-time job.


Steps to Launch Your Offering on The Learning Chimp

  1. Identify Core Expertise
    • Pinpoint what learners in Africa are actively searching for—e.g., "Excel for small business owners”, "IELTS speaking coach”.
    • Choose a sweet spot: a specific, valuable skill people want to invest in.
  2. Create High‑Quality Content
    • Script engaging lessons with objectives, examples and visual aids.
    • Record clear audio and HD video.
    • Use royalty-free imagery and graphics for a polished finish.
  3. Set Smart Pricing
    • Your primary course can range from US$17–$300 (Approximately R300-R5000) depending on depth and market pricing.
    • Complement with affordable webinars, coaching sessions or bundles.
  4. Leverage African Expertise
    • Frame content with local examples (e.g., case studies from Lagos SMEs or rural startup scenarios).
    • Add value through regional insights—currency, regulatory context or cultural nuance.
  5. Promote & Convert
    • Use social media, email lists and The Learning Chimp’s affiliate programme.
    • Add Calls-to-action (CTAs) like "View this course on The Learning Chimp” featured across blogs, emails and video thumbnails.
