Over time this can lead to more students, business opportunities and more. While podcasts are normally audio only, in this guide we will also talk about video podcasts - called vodcasts.
If you're looking for a way to reach new students and feel confident recording your voice, podcasting is worth trying out.
This lesson plan provides your student with a useful reference to basic barre chords formed on the fifth string. Eight different chord shapes are given with examples in Guitar TAB. A fretboard diagram is also included so the student can learn to create new chords using different root notes. This is a great way to test your student's understanding of how to form barre chords. Simply ask the student to play a chord such as 'C#minor' and let the student figure out the correct chord shape and position.
The chords formed on this string as well as on the sixth string will cover the large majority of songs the student will want to learn. So these chords are a great starting point and once the student masters these, more advanced chords can be looked at.

If you're looking at an easy way to start generating an additional stream of income, an eBook is a good first option. They're incredibly simple to create and start selling online. This guide will provide you with everything you need to know to create an eBook and start selling it online. You will see how to pick a good topic for the book, what software and tools to use to create the actual eBook and how to sell it online. We recommend you read EXP-07 Creating Your Own Products first to get an idea on whether an eBook is the right format for your skills.
An eBook is an digital copy of a book that can be read on computers, tablets, phones or e-readers such as Amazon's Kindle. Compared to creating a physical book, there is essentially no upfront cost at all to create an eBook. A physical book on the other hand requires a large investment as you usually need to bulk order a large number of books from a manufacturer. Choosing to create an eBook is very straight forward, requires no investment (apart from time) and you can realistically sell it around the world very quickly.
In the future you can always look at turning your eBook into a physical book so starting with an eBook makes sense.
A great way to start a new stream of income is to create and sell your own products. It's actually very simple to create your own products and sell them online or to your face-to-face students. One of the biggest reasons you might want to create and sell your own products is that after you create your product it can steadily earn you money over time.
This guide will look at a few different types of products you could create and sell. Case studies are provided to get an understanding of how to actually do it. Once you learn to create and sell one product, you'll find it easy to create and sell additional products and your income will start to rise.
A new training course is available to help you launch your own guitar teaching product or service. If you have read through the EXP series of business guides, you've probably considered starting your own product or service to earn an additional stream of income. Knowing how to effectively launch a product or service can ultimately determine if your product succeeds or not.
The purpose of the training course is to show you how you can test any business ideas you have and how to decide which products to develop. Two case studies are provided so you can see the entire process in action.
There's a bit of work involved in creating your own product or service and launching it, but the teachers who go through the effort find it's definitely worthwhile. If you've had an idea in your head for a product or service, it's worth testing out to see if you should actually produce it. Use this course as a way to test your ideas and launch products likely to be successful.
In addition to this course we're available if you need a hand launching your own product. We can help you plan your launch and promote it. Don't leave things to chance, give yourself an advantage and get us to help you out.

The basic set up is that you when somebody buys a product online after clicking a link on your site, you earn a commission on that sale. The main benefit from earning money this way is once the details are set up on your website, you don't need to do anything further. It's a form of passive income so it can actually earn you money without any effort.
The amount of commission you earn depends on the Affiliate Program you join. As an example, the Affiliate Program at musiciansfriend.com has their commission rate at 6%. So if somebody buys a $500 guitar after clicking on your affiliate link, you will earn $30 ($500 x 6%) on that one sale.
