About this hustle

If you have specialized knowledge — cooking, coding, language, fitness, Islamic studies, professional skills — you can package it into an online course, eBook, or template and sell it repeatedly with no ongoing work.

How to get started
  1. Pick a narrow topic you know well that others want to learn
  2. Validate: ask 5–10 people if they'd pay $30–50 for a course on it
  3. Record a simple 5–10 video course using Loom or OBS (free)
  4. Sell on Gumroad, Teachable, or Udemy — no website needed
  5. Grow with email list or social following for repeat sales
