Earn more passive income through Making Videos into courses -

Videos have become a primary instrument for online training, and for good reason. Course creators can use videos because they enable you to talk directly with your students in a casual manner. For learners, video lessons provide both a visual and the auditory method of learning, which can increase participation.

You may already be making use of videos to attract learners through your personal YouTube as well as Vimeo channel. Therefore, why not use your existing videos for the form of a paid class to boost your passive income?

If, for instance, you're already using Vimeo for hosting the content of your videos, you'll have an opportunity to monetize your videos by turning them into an online class.

Create the course free of charge using the videos you already have uploaded to Vimeo and use these to advertise your course. The creation of a free course based on the content you already have helps gain credibility, making it easy to sell the future course and product to your audience.

In the meantime, before we demonstrate how you can use Vimeo to make courses, let's look at the way Vimeo is different from YouTube.

Vimeo or YouTube?

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

While YouTube lets you share your videos with an extensive audience, it might not be ideal when you're looking to secure your course content. If you're providing paid content, you'll want only your students to access those videos. If they're free and public on YouTube Anyone who is able to access the video can do so and also share it with others.

Vimeo provides advanced privacy settings so you can lock down your videos to ensure that only students are granted access to the content. Vimeo offers videos with no advertisements in the middle or pre-roll. Also, unlike YouTube, Vimeo has 24/7 assistance to assist you in resolving issues or guide you through the platform.

Vimeo has a free choice, however for users, it's not going to be able get by with the free tier. There are limitations on storage and upload options as well as losing every other feature of their premium tiers. There's a popular $35/month option that unlocks powerful creation tools and additional features like customized branding for videos.

With that said, let's show you how to take an Vimeo show and convert into a training course.
