Increase Your Passive Income by Turning Videos into Courses Increase Your Passive Income by Turning Videos into Courses

Videos are now a major instrument for online training, and with good reason. For course creators, videos allow you to speak directly to your learners in a more casual way. For learners, video lessons offer both a visual as well as an auditory style of learning which could increase their participation.

There's a good chance that you're already engaging learners with videos through your personal YouTube or Vimeo channel. So, why not put your video content into the form of a paid class to boost your passive income?

In this case, if, for example, you're already using Vimeo to host videos, you can benefit from another opportunity to monetize your videos through the conversion of them into an online course.

Additionally, create a free course with your existing videos that you have uploaded on Vimeo and then use these to advertise your course. Making a free course using your existing content helps you build credibility and makes it easier to market your future courses or products to your customers.

Before we explain how to use Vimeo to make courses, let's look at how Vimeo compares to YouTube.

Vimeo as well as YouTube?

YouTube is a popular choice for users. It's free to get started, and it's already the second (or the third) largest search engine on the Internet. YouTube is an excellent option to upload videos in a short time, using a straightforward uploading procedure.

Even though YouTube lets you share your videos with a large audience, that could not be the best option for you if you're trying to safeguard the content of your courses. If you're offering content that is paid for, you'll want only your students to access these videos. If they're free and public on YouTube and anyone has a link can access and share with others.

Vimeo provides advanced privacy settings so you can lock down the videos you upload to ensure only students are granted access to your videos. Vimeo provides videos without advertising in mid- or post-rolls. Also, unlike YouTube, Vimeo has 24/7 assistance for you to troubleshoot or assist in navigating the platform.

Vimeo offers a no-cost alternative, but for users, it's not going be able to make it by with the free tier. It will limit upload and storage options, as well as losing many of the features that are available on their premium tiers. It's also a very popular monthly subscription of $35 which unlocks powerful tools for creating and additional features like personalized branding on video.

Let's demonstrate how you can take the Vimeo showcase and turn it into a class.
