LET’S TALK ABOUT WHY CREATIVES TURN TO ONLINE TEACHING
Online teaching isn’t about shortcuts or passive income. It’s about building a teaching model that works with your life instead of around it.
(Enjoy more fun, freedom and fulfillment)
And here’s what that looks like in practice: A well-designed class can be taught live on Zoom, recorded once for on-demand access, and easily updated and improved over time.
If you’ve been relying on events, sales, commissions, or constant promotions just to keep income moving, it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong...
It’s that those models are unsustainable.
They depend on your time and presence every single time you want to earn.
Online teaching gives you options
You can reach students beyond your local area
______________________________
You can teach without packing, traveling

You can build something that continues working even when you need rest
The real question isn’t whether online teaching works.
It’s how to approach it thoughtfully, without guessing, overbuilding, or burning out.
So, you’re probably wondering where do I even get started?

"When I start self-doubting, questioning what I'm teaching that is special, wondering why they would choose me - I have to remember there is room for everybody."
Kena Tangi-Dorsey
You'll Learn:
The Anatomy Of a Profitable Online Teaching Art Business
- See how online teaching functions as a sustainable business model for creatives, not a hustle, not a gimmick.
- Understand how reach, time control, and income stability actually work together, and use real examples of on-demand and live-zoom businesses to evaluate whether this model truly fits your life and goals.
"I'm not packing up and flying everywhere. Everything I need is right here. Some students can't get out and drive at night anymore so [teaching virtually] is really inclusive."
Julia Mcleod
You'll See:
Why Teaching Art Online Is Profitable and Fulfilling
- Identify the common beliefs that stop creatives from teaching online and replace them with what students actually care about.
- Understand what people pay for (and why), what time and tech teaching really requires, and where confidence comes from without pretending mindset alone is enough.
"Lyric demystified the notion that you need a big production studio to have a successful showing. I learned that you don't need a lot of expensive equipment—just the basics and the right techniques.""
Kimberley Pierce Cartwright
You'll Plan:
What to Teach First (and Why That Choice Matters)
- Clarify who you would serve, the problem you would help solve, and what a strong first teaching direction could look like.
- See why choosing the right starting point and structuring it correctly makes the difference between momentum and burnout.
These creatives didn’t start with confidence or a finished plan.
They started by understanding what was possible, and what it would take to do it well
She didn’t think she could be on camera.
"I was anxious when being filmed, even for family purposes. We have no video with my family where I speak. It proved to be a huge obstacle for creating my online teaching business if I’m terrified of speaking to the camera and filming my online classes. Yet here I am speaking to you in a language, which is not even my mother tongue."
Maria Lazan Biahari
She thought tech would stop her before she even began.
"I had no technical background with any sort of video production so I needed help with what equipment to buy. I took the time to sit down and say, OK I don’t need the high-end stuff right now, I can start with the low-end and work my way up."
Rachelle Craig
She wanted to teach online without lowering quality.
The bottom line is that Virtual Teaching is here to stay. Students need to have workshops worth their time and their money. The Academy helps teachers to give QUALITY online workshops. I’ve moved forward to enhance my virtual teaching, alongside a supportive community.”

MEET LYRIC!
Lyric Montgomery Kinard has been teaching and sharing creative processes online since the early days of the internet - long before virtual teaching was common or easy. Over the years, she’s taught thousands of creatives through both in-person workshops and online programs, and she understands firsthand what it takes to build a teaching practice that lasts.
After years of traveling to teach, Lyric shifted much of her work online, not to work less, but to teach in a way that was more sustainable, accessible, and aligned with real life. Today, she works with artists, makers, and creative business owners who are exploring online teaching and want to approach it thoughtfully, without guessing or burning out.
Lyric was named the 2011 International Association of Professional Quilters “Teacher of the Year” and is a co-founder of the Global Quilt Connection, which helps quilters and guilds connect with high-quality online programming.
The real question isn’t whether online teaching works.
Many creatives hesitate not because they lack talent or ideas but because they don’t want to rush into something they don’t fully understand. You might be worried about being on camera, unsure about technology, or unsure whether online teaching would even fit your life. You might be balancing caregiving, health concerns, or a business that already takes most of your energy.
Those hesitations aren’t problems to push past.
They’re signals that you want to approach this thoughtfully. Virtual teaching can open up new ways to share your work—but only when it’s built with care, structure, and realistic expectations. That’s exactly what this workshop is designed to help you explore.
