Like I said I earn only pennies per visitor to this site on average. Any teacher will earn more than that -- per person.

You can go deeper (provide a lot of value to a few people) or broader (provide a little value to a lot of people). Most people unfortunately settle for providing a small amount of value to a small amount of people, never learning how to fully utilize their strengths to provide more value, serve more people, or both.

A person teaching basic skills to a class of 20 people doesn't have much leverage, so the pay reflects it. A person teaching basic skills to 20,000 people can earn a lot more, as can a person teaching advanced skills to 20 people. A person who can teach advanced skills to 20,000 people will queue up a lot of social debt.
