Teleteach for Profit:  Learn How to Promote, Run and Sell Interactive Teleclasses & Audio Programs

If you're an expert or want to highlight experts in a certain topic area, teleclasses are an easy-to-master, profitable instructional medium.  Whether you like to talk or enjoy getting other people talking, it takes a minimum of technical savvy to use the telephone and audio recording services to create programs and products that you can charge for - or use as lead generators for products and services you later charge for.

Just a few scenarios to demonstrate the possibilities: 

• You already teach or train.  By teaching teleseminars, you eliminate the need to get dressed up, travel and park at your instructional location.  With teleteaching, you get paid to teach people who are too busy or too far away to attend your in-person classes.  You can also create products as you teach, for little or no extra expense.  (Compare that with the years most people require to finish writing a book!)  Teleteaching is convenient, time-effective and profitable. 

• You own a business or professional practice.   Free teleseminars can help you attract perfect prospects for your services.  A phone seminar is a powerful lead generator, a no-risk way for listeners to simultaneously learn something and check you out.  After a call, ideal clients often want to buy your services, while the freebie seekers simply slink away. 

• You want to extend your product line.  Maybe you have a couple of products you've created or a themed ecommerce store.  Running teleclasses and turning them into products, whether singly or in a series, gives you an easy additional stream of revenue.  You don't have to be an expert yourself - you can be the impresario who interviews them.

• You have a hobby or specialized interest.  Turn your passion for gardening or ecotourism or classic car collecting into an income source by bringing together experts and enthusiasts on a call or series of calls.  Use more than half a dozen free methods to promote your sessions and keep 100% of the program fees!

• You've spotted a marketplace gap or opportunity.  Suppose you go looking for information and can't find anything relevant and useful.  If you have reason to believe others are likewise searching for solutions on this issue, you can create and sell teleclass sessions and recordings less than a week after you have the idea.  Yes, the income from teleteaching really can come in that fast. 

• You run a nonprofit organization.  People who are devoted to your cause enjoy learning more and more about it.  Use teleclasses as a means of attracting and educating donors or charge an admission fee for a series of in-depth, behind-the-scenes, insider-information calls.  Afterwards, the recordings turn into a free enthusiasm-stoking medium or a funds-generating product line.

How is this program unique?

Numerous components make this program stand out from other ways you can learn how to run teleclasses:

• A multitude of business models:  Most how-to-run-a-teleclass instruction assumes you share the business goals and resources of the person sharing their experience.  When this isn't true, much of the advice becomes useless.  Instead of sharing just one person's experience, however successful, Teleteach for Profit gives you more than half a dozen viable business models to learn from.

• A multitude of teleclass tools:  Likewise, instead of providing samples of signup promotions, pre- or post-call emails and such from one person sharing what worked for them, you get tools and samples from a variety of teleclass providers.  You also receive an audio editing program and instructions on how to use it.

• Vocal and speaking tips:  Delivering content over the phone requires the ability to hold people's attention in a manner that's pleasant to listen to.  Other teleclass programs don't touch on this at all!  Teleteach for Profit includes an hour of tips from a highly credentialed speech coach on using your voice effectively during teleclasses.

• Interviewer available:  If you decided to find someone to moderate a telephone session for you or interview you to create an audio product, would you know where to find someone with the needed skills?  With Teleteach for Profit, you can have me run a one-hour teleclass or audio session for you (or you get an hour of one-on-one phone consulting with me - your choice).  Reduce your stress if teleclasses are new to you!

• Publicity tools:  Another program might offhandedly mention a press release as one recommended way to get signups for your teleclass.  Teleteach for Profit shows you four sample press releases to use as models as well as a coupon for free online distribution of a release announcing an upcoming teleclass of yours, valid for six months after your purchase of the course.

• Sample teleclass recordings:  You're undoubtedly not going to run teleclasses exactly the way I or other experts do it.  So you get three sample teleclass recordings, each illustrating a different style, business model and "on air" personality.

• Answers to your questions:  For a full two months you can ask questions and get answers on my password-protected discussion board.   

In short, Teleteach for Profit is a comprehensive learning experience, including not only instruction but also the practical tools, encouragement, personal help and support that eliminate any need to figure things out on your own.  This program enables you to get your own teleteaching program up and running within months - or even sooner if you decide to start with a one-session teleclass.
