How I Made My First Six Figures Teaching Online 💻

 



A few years ago, if someone had told me that I could sit in the comfort of my home, wear my comfy clothes, teach people across the world, and still earn six figures in Naira, I would’ve laughed and said, “Abeg, stop play!”

But guess what? It happened. And no, I didn’t have to shout, sell anything strange, or chase people to join any coded group. I simply did what I love: teaching.

So, how did I do it?

Here’s the real gist, broken down in a way you can understand:

1.     I Treated Teaching Like a Business

Not just something I do when I feel like it. I showed up on time, delivered value, and built a brand around who I am. I marketed myself well. I told my story. I didn’t hide my wins.

2.     I Signed Up on Multiple Teaching Platforms

From local ones to international platforms like Filo, Preply, NaijaTutors and others, I put myself out there. The more doors you knock on, the more likely one will open.

3.    I Found My Niche

English? Yes.
Phonics? Absolutely.
Diction, public speaking, and etiquette for kids? That's my lane. I didn’t try to be everything to everyone. I became exceptional in my focus areas.

4.    I Gave Top-Notch Service

You see, in online teaching, word of mouth is gold. I made sure my students left every class feeling smarter and more confident. That’s how the referrals started rolling in.

5.   I Charged My Worth (and then increased it!)

When you start, you may charge a low rate. However, as you grow and people start seeing your results, you must know when to make adjustments. I didn’t let fear or "what will they say?" hold me back.

Where I Am Now

I’ve taught hundreds of students, worked with families across continents, and most importantly, I’ve made an impact and income doing what I love. Yes, I've made my first million from just my laptop, internet, and passion.

Final Words

If you’re a teacher reading this and thinking, “Can I really earn this much online?”
Yes, you can.

Start small. Be consistent. Learn fast. Market yourself. And most importantly, believe in your voice.

Your gift will make room for you even on Zoom.

Empowering Voices: Communication with Confidence!

Why Every Voice Matters: A Journey to Confident Communication. Hey there, and welcome to my blog! I’m so thrilled to finally have this space to share what I’m most passionate about—communication! Whether it's in the classroom, in a meeting, or at a family gathering, the ability to communicate clearly and confidently is a superpower we all have within us. I’ve seen firsthand how transforming your communication style can not only help you succeed in your career but also build stronger, more meaningful relationships with those around you. So, why did I start this blog? Well, it all began years ago when I was teaching English and working with individuals of all ages, from young learners to adults. One thing I realized is that everyone has a unique voice , but sometimes, it’s hard to find the confidence to use it. I've had students who could write beautifully but froze up when asked to speak, and others who were shy about expressing themselves in front of a group. The truth is, that...

Vice or Vices? Don’t Get It Twisted!

  Have you ever seen someone write  “shun vices”  and wondered , “Is that even correct?” You’re not alone. English can be a little tricky, but that’s why we’re here to learn together. In English, “vice” and “vices” look similar but are used differently depending on what you’re talking about. VICE (Uncountable): This means serious criminal activities like prostitution, drugs, or other illegal activities like drug dealing, gambling, or anything that dangerously breaks the law. ✅ Correct: The new law aims to reduce crime and vice in the city. ❌ Wrong: The new law aims to reduce crime and vices in the city. VICES (Countable): These are bad habits or moral weaknesses in someone’s character, like greed, jealousy, pride, or laziness. They’re not always criminal or necessarily illegal, but they’re not great either. ✅ Correct: Eating too much junk food and always coming late are some of his vices. ❌ Wrong: Eating too much junk food and always coming late are some of his v...

From Stumbling Words to Soaring Speeches: Embracing the Journey of Communication.

 Hey there, amazing reader👋 First, let me say a big THANK YOU for stopping by my corner of the internet. If you’re new here—welcome to the family. And if you’re a returning reader, you already know how much I value your presence. Grab a cup of tea, and let’s dive in! When I started this blog, my mission was simple: to celebrate the power of communication—that magical ability to turn our thoughts into words and connect with the world around us. It’s not just about saying the right words—it’s about finding your voice and using it confidently. Why Does This Blog Matter? Let me tell you a little story. Years ago, I was teaching a group of energetic teenagers (you know, the kind that would rather text their feelings than say them out loud). One of my students, let’s call her Miss T. , was incredibly bright but painfully shy. She’d whisper her answers during class and avoid eye contact like her life depended on it. But one day, during a public speaking exercise, she hesitantly stood in ...
