Do THIS in 2025 to make 6 figures from other peoples work

The online education market is booming, and if the best part about it is that ANYONE can tap into it. What was once the domain of universities and professional courses is now dominated by independent creators and entrepreneurs—people like you—who package their knowledge into digital products, like masterclasses, and make bank.

There’s a different way to create a digital product that NO ONE else has figured out and I’m going to paint the entire picture for you in this weeks edition of the PaidCreators newsletter.

I call it a “PaidMasterclass” and it mixes several different marketing and product types and blends them into something ANYONE can do… you don’t need your own audience to start, you don’t have to create a crazy course, and you don’t have to scam people…

The Online Education Market: A $200 Billion Opportunity

First, the numbers. The global e-learning market is projected to hit $325 billion by 2025 (Statista). And well over $1Trillion in the next 8 years. This is a PRETTY good time to hop in.

Here’s the kicker: the barrier to entry has never been lower. You don’t need a fancy degree or decades of experience—you just need valuable information people are willing to pay for.

Consider this:

• 77% of U.S. companies used e-learning in 2023, up from 55% in 2018.

• Learners retain 25%-60% more information when learning online compared to traditional classroom settings (Shift Learning). This means people are searching for more online learning opportunities than they have previously.

• Successful masterclass creators are raking in 5 to 6 figures per month by selling niche courses. I’m talking SMALL niches.. but that’s where the big money is.

So yeah… the market is huge, the opportunity is incredible… but you HAVE TO DO it right. Don’t just launch a course because no one is buying courses like they used to. The information is already everywhere online anyways… you need a PaidMasterclass

What Is a PaidMasterclass, and Why Does It Work?

A PaidMasterclass is simple: you take information (mostly other people’s) and package it into a compelling, actionable, digital product. Imagine taking 30 of the most intelligent people in your niche… let’s say it’s “raising chickens” because it’s always fun to do random niches.

so you interview 30 people who are amazing at raising chickens and you learn a TON from all of them. You release these interviews and summarize them for people that pay you $97 one time for access to all the interviews you do.

That’s literally how simple this is. We leverage OTHER people’s information and build a killer digital business out of it!

The magic lies in these core elements:

1. Specificity Sells: A masterclass isn’t a general overview—it’s hyper-focused on solving a problem or achieving a goal. The narrower the niche, the better it performs.

   • Example: Instead of “How to Start a Business,” try “How to Build a Six-Figure TikTok Shop in 30 Days.”

2. Leverage Influencers: You don’t need to be the star. Interviewing experts or influencers adds credibility and creates buzz.

   • Highlight Reel Strategy: Record interviews and turn the “wow moments” into short, viral clips for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts.

3. Affiliates Are Your Secret Weapon: Empower your customers and influencers to sell for you. More on this later.

How to Create a PaidMasterclass in 3 Steps

Step 1: Choose a Winning Topic
Start with something you know—or better yet, something your audience is already asking for. PLEASE make this in a niche you love. A niche you’d do interviews in if you intended on never making a dime. The more knowledge and passion you have for a niche, the better you’ll do in this business.

• Use tools like Google Trends, AnswerThePublic, or your DMs to find pain points.

• Example topics:

  • “Mastering UGC to Build a side hustle business in 2025 on TikTok”

  • “The Womans solopreneuer guide to AI”

Super important… use HYBRID niches if you can. So above you see I have one topic about AI… it’s not just helping ANYONE figure out AI… it’s not just helping WOMEN figure out AI… it’s helping women small business owners figure out AI.

The power is in the hybrids.

Step 2: Film Content Efficiently
Your masterclass doesn’t need to look like an Oscar-winning documentary. Authenticity often trumps polish. This is convenient right? Medium quality authentic feeling video is what will do the best.

• Tech setup: Use a good-quality webcam, decent lighting, and a basic microphone. Done.

• Break it into bite-sized modules, each tackling one key point.

• Use Descript to film your videos. It’s an AI infused video editing platform that makes it so you can host interviews (Using a feature calls Rooms) and you can automatically create viral clips (using their feature called “Underlord)

Pro Tip: Start by interviewing small people in your industry. You don’t want giants because you’ll screw up your first 5-8 interviews a bit and then you’ll catch a rhythm. So to start, interview people that know what they are talking about but that won’t hurt you if you mess up.

Step 3: Package and Sell

• There are COUNTLESS platforms out there that will help you create a funnel/ build your membership/ build a recurring community/ create transactions/ etc…

  But thankfully - we have a one stop shop solution in our Mastermind that gives you ALL the software you need to make everything happen. Get the full details RIGHT HERE!

• We are going to price this PaidMasterclass at $97. You can go lower than that to start, but not higher.

• Once you start selling the memberships, you’ll create a “Monthly recurring community” that you’ll charge $30/ mo for.

Fun fact… I had 17,000 buy my $97 offer in the last 2 years and from that… 30% of them gave me $49/ mo. I’ll let you do the math. But you should do this!

Turn Interviews into Social Media Frenzy

One of the biggest missed opportunities in online education is not leveraging the content you’ve already created. With a PaidMasterclass you will have the most efficient content machine you could imagine!

Here’s the strategy:

1. Edit Highlight Clips: Pull 15-30 second clips with strong hooks (“Did you know 70% of people fail at this because…”). Again Descript will do this for you. It creates clips in SECONDS which is amazing.

2. Post Strategically: Post across Instagram/ TikTok/ Youtube (shorts)/ Facebook/ LinkedIn/ You name it! (Again… our software Wealthery Reach allows you to post across all of these platforms from one place which saves a TON of time).

3. Engage Your Audience: Turn comments into conversations and DMs into sales opportunities. Yet another thing our software will do automatically for you. But every single comment could be a conversation and that will lead to more sales.

The Affiliate Flywheel: Your Built-In Sales Team

This is where PaidMasterclasses shine. Your students, influencers, and network can become your affiliates, creating a perpetual motion machine for sales.

Here’s how to build an affiliate army:

1. Offer Attractive Commissions: Standard rates are 30%-50%. If your course is $97, that’s $30-$50 per sale—an easy “yes” for your affiliates.

2. Make It Easy: Provide ready-to-go templates, captions, and graphics for affiliates to use.

3. Turn Students Into Affiliates: Your most satisfied customers are your best marketers. Incentivize them to share their success stories with their audience.

4. Use Connect: Wealthery Connect gives you the ability to create an affiliate program for any product you create. Instantly letting you tap into a MASSIVE market of hundreds of promoters!
