Subject-matter experts (SMEs) are individuals with a deep understanding of a process, a technology or a part of the business. They are an indispensable asset for companies, as they can find creative solutions to problems, look at something from different angles, and provide support for new hires. When you know something very well, you can easily understand the bigger picture and see what others don’t.

“How do you get experience in the field so you can get your first ID job?” That’s a recurring questions I hear from those trying to start their instructional design careers. It feels like a catch-22: you can’t get any experience until you get a job, and you can’t get a job without experience. People who built portfolios as part of a masters or graduate certificate program are generally in a better position, but they may need experience too.

Whether it’s worth to create a course or not is a question that many people so eagerly want to get an answer to. But, how much would it cost? And, is it profitable? The short answer is “YES it can be quite profitable!” The long answer requires a more in-depth analysis. Creating and selling online courses is a highly profitable business with the potential to open up a passive stream of income.
