If moving abroad is too much of a leap for you and you don’t live in a big city with a lot of immigrants who study English, there are still opportunities to teach English as a second language. If you just have an internet connection, a headset, and maybe a webcam (and who doesn’t, these days), then you can teach English online.

There are literally millions of people around the world who are in a rush to learn what has become the international language, and many of them are looking for teachers online. You can tap into this market and make good money from the comfort of your home, but it can be tricky.

Fortunately, a guy name John Buchanan has written an ebook that makes it a lot easier.

I bought John’s ebook and used the info in it, and I highly recommend it. These days I’ve gone on to do other things and I’m not teaching online very much, but back when I got started teaching online this book really helped me out a lot. He’s also really generous with personal support and will help you out if you have questions.

I recently revisited the website and I was impressed that he’s gotten endorsements from some big names in the industry, like Steve Ford. Impressed but not surprised, because the ebook package is really helpful- I’d even say you shouldn’t venture into the world of teaching English online without getting this book.

In addition to the ebook you get a bunch of other stuff too, including a couple of videos, some excel spreadsheets to keep you organized, a motivational 21-day plan, plus the great support from John himself. If you’re at all interested in this great way to make money online- head over to his website right now!

Here are some short excerpts from the website, but you should head over there and read it all:

More and more students are realizing the potential of Skype to practice and learn more English. They love it because it’s super convenient to actually speak with a natural English speaker.

All you need is a computer, a decent Internet connection, a microphone, some speakers, and an instant messaging program like Skype (or even Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger or Google Talk).

Enjoy the freedom of being your own boss. Keep all of the profits for yourself and your family.
