If you are in this situation then you do not have to feel alone, because the situation is the same with pretty much everyone.

People are expanding their income opportunities to side businesses so they can deal with their living expenses and other expenditures.

With the pandemic in full force, stay-at-home jobs are proving to be the most successful.

In this guide, we try to unravel one of the best stay-at-home options in today’s times - teaching abacus classes directly from home.

 

1-1.Ways to Teach to Earn While at Home

Everybody enjoys learning, and one of the best ways to learn is to teach others what you’re learning and what better way to do that while making some extra cash?

The education business is a multi-billion dollar industry in today’s world.

And all it takes to become a part of it are a few simple steps.

Besides, who doesn’t love some extra cash?

Let us discuss some proven ways in which you can make use of your abacus skills to teach others abacus and earn money.

 

1) Start a YouTube channel: This is one of the most simple, fastest and easiest ways to get started in this line.

You start by making a channel introduction video, then either follow an abacus course book for teaching or make your own plan to teach.

Advertising and collaborations are also a big part so that you are regularly exposed to new audiences.

Consistency is key so that you keep your current audience.

Once popular enough, launch your own website and aid courses.

Can even consider going mobile by making apps.

 

2) Join an abacus tutoring website: The internet is full of websites that teach abacus online.

There are links related to careers and joining the tutor teams on the websites.

Contact them through this page, send the important information.

Make sure to have a professional-looking resume to make the best impression.

This option is much better if you like a fixed nature income because the option discussed above is a business venture and will result in a variable, meaning changeable income.

 

3) Write a book: If you feel like direct teaching is not your cup of tea, write a book.

Writing a book is one of the best ways of passively teaching.

Each book sales generates revenue in the form of a royalty fee.

You get paid by the publisher.

To ensure your book gets published, make a neat draft.

A good abacus book should explain the concepts clearly and have plenty of practice exercises.

Make sure to include your contact info somewhere in the book so that interested parties can directly contact you, should you decide to tutor directly someday.

Besides paper books, the market is also ripe for ebooks, so also consider publishing on as many digital platforms as possible.

 

1-2.Getting Qualified to Teach and Earn While at Home

The abacus market can be quite uncontrolled and decentralized.

Despite that, there are multiple legit ways of getting qualified to become a professional abacus teacher.

The first of them is the government licensing agencies.

Most of these agencies require you to enroll for a short abacus course at the end of which one has to write an exam and upon successful promotion, a teaching certificate is awarded.

Having such a certificate adds a huge boost to your resume.

This will help you apply for a better position in the field.

The second method is slightly less prestigious but still works if you are good on the job and can prove that through numbers.

There are multiple private websites and universities that offer abacus teaching courses.

These courses are very comprehensive and teach one core abacus as well as proper teaching methods.

Once the course tenure is finished, teaching ability certifications are also provided.

These certificates can be used as proof of your ability to be able to teach abacus.

The bottom line is, getting qualified to teach abacus is a relatively simple and easy task.

If you are good with the subject, there won’t be any problems breezing through the certifications.
