. Teach Something You Know




“Teach Something You Know” is a popular concept and prompt for leveraging your existing knowledge by sharing or monetizing it—typically by creating bite‑sized lessons, mini‑courses, or coaching sessions in areas where you have expertise.


 What It Means

  • Package your existing skills or knowledge—whether basic English, Canva design, résumé tips, or a cooking trick—and teach others, often online. 

  • This doesn’t require deep expertise—just something you're better at than someone else.


 How People Use It

  • Mini‑courses & eBooks
    Create short eBooks or guides (5–10 pages) teaching a concept you know—like “Meal Prep in 30 Minutes”—and sell on Etsy, Gumroad, WhatsApp, or similar platforms. 

  • Online sessions or voice‑note classes

  • Deliver simple training via Zoom, Telegram, or WhatsApp voice messages. Start free, then offer paid follow-ups.

  • Make recorded lessons on things like résumé hacks, Canva/design tips, or ChatGPT strategies. 

Why It Works

  • Low barrier to entry: No need to be a PhD—just more knowledgeable than your audience.

  • Quick to create: Mini‑courses or one‑day workshops are fast to produce and can generate passive income.

  • Flexible platforms: You can start on chat apps, marketplaces, or teaching sites—whichever suits your style and audience. 

Tips to Get Started

  1. Pick a niche—something simple and useful, like Canva basics or cooking shortcuts.

  2. Create a clear deliverable—e.g., a mini‑eBook (“How to Meal Prep”), a 1‑day skills workshop via WhatsApp, or a recorded Skillshare class.

  3. Use free previews or free sessions to build trust ("free training → paid course" model). 

  4. Choose a platform: WhatsApp groups, Etsy, Gumroad, Graphy, Zoom, Skillshare, etc.


🧑‍💻 How to Use ChatGPT to Support Teaching

  • Brainstorm course outlines or key topics.

  • Write scripts, lesson summaries, or quiz questions.

  • Create promotional content, like captions or email copy.


In short, "Teach Something You Know" is about sharing your knowledge in an accessible format—whether a mini‑eBook, a micro‑class, or a workshop. It’s about turning what you already know into something someone else wants to learn.
