Product Description

"The best book on How to build an online teaching business that I did not write." - Kirsten Winkler, education consultant

The most important thing about this book is that Andre unflinchingly spells out the simplicity of teaching online, and strips bare the misconceptions surrounding bells, whistles, toys and technology. After reading this, you will no longer feel overwhelmed about teaching online, and you’ll avoid the many pitfalls of teachers like myself who dived into the online world without Andre as a guide. – Sylvia Guinan, edupreneur

How To Teach Online Without Selling Your Soul is a book for everyone who wants to make a living by teaching online and is tired of letting teaching platforms or online schools call the shots.

This compilation of articles, now in its 4th edition including an updated commentary by the author, is designed for individuals with a passion for teaching and a desire to thrive in the online world.

While the journey of becoming an online teacher is not an easy one, the payoff is immense, including benefits such as setting one's own salary and working from the comfort of one's home.

Among the topics discussed in this volume are issues such as:

- Why Going Independent Is The Best Way To Make A Full-Time Income From Online Teaching

A Truly Great Resource! 2 Jun 2011
By MSharpe - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
I was merely interested in teaching online when I download this Kindle book. Now I'm excited and ready to get started on my new venture! The book itself is essentially a compilation of essays written by the author. Each covers a crucial aspect of this relatively unknown field. Highly recommended to anyone currently teaching online or curious about becoming an "edupreneur" in the future!

The Whole Landscape of Education is Changing! 5 Jun 2011
By Angy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
The Ivory Towers that have been the foundations of education for centuries - universities around the world - have a gnawing little fear that they don't like to express. The schools that embrace online education are going to be better for it but the ones holding onto the way "it's always been done" are going to have a rude awakening in the next decade or so as online education grows in students, teachers, and numbers. Traditional learning and therefore traditional TEACHING are changing rapidly.

How to Teach Online Without Selling Your Soul is a response to the changes happening to education due to technology. It is a superb volume!

This is the book needed by those educators who see the writing on the wall and who might NOW want to expand their physical teaching jobs with online training. Other than language barriers, there really is no reason why you can't teach someone down the street AND someone in another country at the same time. As the book explains, sure human interaction can't be fully replaced but the advantages one gains from an online education are tremendous. The answers are here, from someone who has taught electronically and has written all the ins and outs about it. Highly recommended!

Another Book You'll Regret Purchasing 2 Mar 2012
By CMD - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sadly, I have to add this title to my list of books that I wish I hadn't spent money on. If this book were $1.99 or less I wouldn't write a review, instead chalking up the monetary loss to bad luck. For $7.99, however, other consumers need to be warned.

First, for a self-described English teacher, Andre Klein's grammar is abysmal. Clearly he is not a native English speaker, a fact which I would overlook if the information in the book were useful, but he comes up short in this area as well. Here are two characteristic sentences:

"Since then I've been using Skype to teach both German, help people understand web programming and encourage other teachers to go independent."

"Later the German Karl Wernicke found out that if patients had damages in their brain in a different place, they didn't have any problems to produce speech motorically, but they couldn't comprehend what was being said!"

These sentences are typical of the writing throughout. If the author's grammar is bad, however, his advice about how to teach online is far worse. Let me save you the money you would otherwise waste. To successfully teach online:

1.) use Skype because "it's free to use."
2.) write a blog every day because it is "a great way of gaining exposure."
3.) create an ebook because "their production is relatively easy."

And that's it. The remainder of the book consists of regurgitated, generic teaching observations. There are nuggets such as:

"Online learning...can help because...if you want to learn something very specific you can connect directly to a person who teaches exactly that! - without going through institutions or middlemen." (82% of the way through the book)

"A teacher intervenes spontaneously, creatively and with appropriate insight as to where you are in the process as a whole." (83% of the way through the book)

In summary, do not buy this mess. You will be wasting your time and your money on a terrible product.

This is why immediately after having set up your homepage you should start a blog! Get accustomed to posting consistently (hard at first, easier later) and try to let people see the value that you (hopefully) perceive in what you do. &quote;
