It simply started out with blogging about web development, JavaScript, and React and writing a self-published book about it eventually. I didn't plan to do it in the first place, but now I teach many people online React.js on my own course platform [0].

It's an exciting adventure, because suddenly you have to handle customer support, marketing and sales. Yet your main priority is keeping the course content up to date, adding new content and ensuring content with a high quality. It's not a 100% full-time gig yet, but I would say 60%. I hope by getting more students this year that I can accelerate it to 100%, because the teaching part itself is more fulfilling for me than any other 9 to 5 job. Last year I quit my job to support this adventure, but I have to have a couple of clients on the side [1]. Most of these clients are companies which are transitioning to React.

That's cool, congrats!

May I contact you with some questions about doing something similar?
