Food for Thought: Before we get into why you should do this, keep in mind that no matter who you are or what you do, people will want to learn what you know even your competitors. Remember it does not have to be strictly in music either. Why? Because you have a life and other hobbies outside of music.
Why You Should Do This?
Technology disruptions, piracy issues, out-of-date ecosystem business models, and complex distribution of royalties that are often delayed in payments make diversification or creating multiples streams of income more important now than ever. That is why making online courses are important for building and growing both your community and your bank account.
Also, by producing this product, you are creating an asset also known as digital real estate that can be passed down to your kids, family, or whomever you want to leave it to after you are no longer here. This sets up the next generation after you to have a fighting chance to leave poverty or a lower socioeconomic status and become financially stable.
