The bottom line is that he’s not just some blogger who decided to write about how to get rich selling online courses. He runs his own seven-figure business that is built on many of the practices covered regularly here on Learning Revolution – from consulting to monetizing podcasts, Webinars, virtual events, blog content, and other types of scalable learning experiences.
For Jeff and for Learning Revolution, adult education and lifelong learning is an area in which edupreneurs and expertise-based businesses have a critical role to play. While there are plenty of opportunities for making money, these opportunities come with the responsibility to serve learners effectively and create real positive change and impact in their lives.
