Book Reviews of Make Money Teaching Online: How to Land Your First Academic Job, Build Credibility, and Earn a Six-Figure Salary
Book Review: The perfect guidebook to online teaching.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's unusual for me to find a non-fiction book that I couldn't stop reading. This was it. The book came out at an especially good time for me. I was just trying to break into teaching online, and having trouble getting my first teaching gig. This book takes you through that process, in a way that is positive while making a lot of good sense of what to do, and how to do it. Best of all, it helps you understand why to do things a certain way.
I think a lot of people are fearful or hesitant to try their hand at teaching online. All through the book there are words of encouragement and confidence-building suggestions. That's great. The sample documents in the book are a nice touch; instead of just telling readers what to do, the authors show them with examples. I was not aware all these colleges want a statement of teaching philosophy, and that helped, too.
The authors include helpful rundowns on the three main systems for online teaching. The chapter on necessary equipment and technologies helped steer me in the right direction, too.
All in all, this book is quite a gem, a bargain, and a must-have guide for anyone wanting to teach online. I have found it extremely helpful: advice from the experts.

Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a complete guide to successfully beginning and continuing your professional online teaching career. As a current core faculty member at a college, and a former adjunct (12 years), I teach and develop online courses as well as teach in the classroom. The pages of the book are a reminder of the hills and valleys that had to be overcome to begin my teaching career, earn this core faculty position, as well as be offered additional adjunct teaching positions at other colleges and universities. I wish this book had been published 13 years ago! Your book has also given me some great ideas for expanding my online teaching career and increasing my income tremendously. I have recommended it to many friends and colleagues. I look forward to a sequel!

Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent book. Persanlly had one of the authors as an online instructor.Book Review: Superb All-Around "How-To"
Summary: 5 Stars
Online teaching has become a popular work-at-home option, but there are few books to tell you how to go about it. This one admirably fills the gap -- it's comprehensive, pragmatic, and written in an appropriately warm, informal style -- and we heartily recommend it to the many folks we counsel who are looking for viable, home-based careers.
