FROM THE AUTHOR
My name is Destiny Linus. The author of Paid to Teach.
I was a full time Chemistry and Mathematics teacher earning ₦35,000.
I counted myself lucky because relative to my colleagues, I was paid well.
To earn more, I had to take on more subjects —
Take on more responsibilities and spend more time in school.
I hated it.
I loved teaching but hated the lifestyle it could afford.
Everything changed when I met a part timer earning over ₦100,000
He worked 20 hours a week. He taught just two schools, each for ₦50,000.
Twice a week. 8am - 12pm.
That was when I learnt my approach was the real problem. The reason I was underpaid.
I thought to earn more, I had to work more. Do more. Spend more time.
My earning only increased by ₦5,000.
I changed my approach. I changed my identity.
I had to learn from painful experiences how to:
Negotiate.
Price my service.
Productize my service.
Have an offer.
Raised my standard.
I tripled my salary the next term.
I swapped to part time and work 20 hours a week.
Started a side project with the free time. Making ₦150,000 monthly.
I wrote Paid to Teach to help teachers earn over ₦100,000 monthly.
You can teach well does not mean that you know how to earn well.
Inside Paid to Teach, I show teachers everything they need to know and master to
start earning over ₦100,000 monthly.
You don't have to painstakingly figure it out on your own.
