Summertime brings along with it plenty of opportunities to make money outside doing physical labor.

But what if you just wanna sit by the pool with your laptop and a cold drink, typing your way to financial freedom?

I know I’d much prefer the latter.

Same?

Well, here are a few ways you can do that.

1. Be an Instructional Designer

Instructional designers specialize in creating instructional materials and e-learning content.

They design courses, develop interactive modules, and write instructional scripts to facilitate effective learning experiences.

If you enjoy creating educational content, you could make it your full-time job (once you build up a library of content).

You could sell it on TeachersPayTeachers, Gumroad, or Etsy.

You could also make courses for yourself on sites like Teachable, Udemy, Coursera, or Thinkific, and promote them. SamCart is another option for hosting content that my sister swears by.
