@@otallono$15 for anything that requires your presence and input is a no-go for the last 25 years. Now, with Chairman Biden, working for anything less than $65 an hour is a non-starter.

This is genius and so simple. Gained a sub...thanks! I am wondering if you have any suggestions for people who work in education who can do online tutoring for extra income? Thanks
Normally, I would agree, but the way to stand out in this position requires a level of articulation and annunciation that is beyond the average saturator. I just don't see a paying market or an honest middleman in this scenario
@@vyncentelwyn4304 Sun Tzu also said how to win battles: - know yourself and your enemy (such as their language) and you'll win all battles - Know yourself and not your enemy and you'll lose one battle for every one you win. - Don't know yourself or your enemy and you'll lose all battles.
Thank you so much for this. I've actually been doing this since 2004 with refugees from the Arab wars. I'm very honored when we have conversation night and everybody wants to talk to brother Frank, that's me. I'm going to look into this information and I intend to help people to more clearly understand and speak English. I've actually been correcting people's accents since I was a boy with family members who came from outside of the United States.
I'm an American from the west coast. I have lived in Asia for 20+ years. I was an IT exporter but now I teach English in Thailand. iTalki and Preply have never been an option. They find reasons to not hire you. I can see about Fiverr but I don't see a decent wage from any of them unless you live in a third world country. I have rarely seen more than $12-15/hr.
I'm a native speaker, and speaking from experience, what people need is not only to practice with a native speaker, but to practice with a native speaker who is familiar with the field specific vocabulary that they need to practice in. For example, the specific vocabulary lawyers use differs from doctors, accountants or people in the Tourism industry, and so on. And basically, it may end up being "casual chat", but at least it would be specific to your area of need. Comparable to chatting with a colleague . . . but in English 😊
I am a totally blind person from Australia. I could easily do this as I believe being blind makes you listen better. Will lease companies pay some money in Australia?
I’ve been tutoring English through Cambly for a couple of years, and I would love to do more, but their pay scale is lower than my local area’s minimum wage. I’m excited to try the suggestions in this video. 😊
How did you even get them to approve you? I have the fastest broadband connection available (just under business grade) and they keep insisting I don’t have a fast enough internet connection.
@@schoolingdiana9086 I have to use an Ethernet cable, and login early enough to do a tech check, which includes a speed test every time I schedule a session. If it doesn’t show it’s fast enough, I can’t access the class until I resolve the issue. 🤷🏻♀️
I'm on Preply. you set your own prices, the platform's commission is 33% at the beginning, but it goes down to 18% at some point. It might still be a lot, but they provide a lot of resources and webinars, so I guess that's why.
Well, if you're not educated in grammar. English can be Greek even to born fluent English speakers. When i went back to school. English was Greek to me.
If you are looking for easy work for good pay, then you are not going to find it. Most people fail because they never start something because it requires effort & preparation. These opportunities are not jobs, they are self employment ie having a business. Jobs are where someone else does the prep work and they collect money for doing that while the employee does the “glamorous” part - the part the public sees. This video isn’t about signing up to speak for $30/hr. It’s about how to succeed at doing that. And it’s a sales pitch for getting the creator to help you market yourself if you want help. If you can do the marketing yourself, great, but it’s good to hire expertise that you don’t have so you can succeed faster.
Very interesting from my point of view. I have been a medical transcriptionist for years. One of the hardest obsticals in this profession for me to work with was understanding heavy accents. The medical profession itself is a totally different language system and is not spoken in laymens terms. Most in this profession are highly educated, but very, very hard to understand. I often wondered why they did not invest their time into learning how to be more easily understood first and foremost by their patients. I guess they are somewhat siloed and protected in medical environment by their peers and they do not consider themselves as having a communication barrier. Maybe this would be a good profession for me to look into. The hardest accent to understand were doctors from India and China - and most of these physicians would often specialize in areas of cardiology, neurology, ecdocrinology, etc.
Preply sucks! I worked for Preply. You spend lots of time doing the free trial lessons - which you are required to do. It’s supposed to be “free”, but the students still have to pay. The only free part is the teacher doesn’t get paid. So Preply sleazily draws many potential students in with the lure of the “free trial lesson” which isn’t free for them. As a teacher, the students often cancel all the time. As long as they cancel like two hours ahead, they don’t have to pay. I hated working for Preply!!!
I think this is something he should have mentioned in the video. I also confirmed that iTalki isn't accepting tuturs for most popular languages. I registered with Preply but I won't accept $9/hour. Not worth turning on my laptop for that amount.
@@Picasso_Picante92 Yeah, this video is just wrong.Since Covid, more people have gone online in search of income so competition is fierce and companies that hire have all the leverage. And then a couple of years ago China said no more foreign tutors teaching remotely, and that was a huge blow. I'm about to start my own UA-cam channel teaching English. I taught English in Japan for 19 years so I know I can succeed even in a saturated market. But whatever you do, you have to be good these days.
It's all about the clicks and getting people to watch the video all the way through. Mentioning this would have been terrible for Seth's "engagement." Unfortunately, all the side hustle videos never get into the REAL downsides.
I've noticed the majority of people who want to learn English don't really commit to it because America has just made it so accommodating here that no one really has to assimilate and actually try to be an American and English speaking American I just was in a homeless shelter with a ton of illegal immigrants none of them wanted to speak English none of them wanted to learn because they don't have to in fact there's more people that speak Spanish then English because our government doesn't make it mandatory for them to learn our language and it's bs I'm sick of it... but I have to be bilingual in Spanish to get a job in a heavily saturated Hispanic Community that's not fair they should have to learn English you're in an English-speaking country that is our native language so assimilate please and thank you
Funny about accents: We live in the Midwest (newscaster country) but my partner is from Queens, New York. He has never fully acquired the Midwest no-accent accent but he no longer stands out for his Queens accent UNTIL he spends time with his family. Or is drunk. 😄
Midwest definitely has an accent! I grew up in California, speaking "valley girl" then I went to a speech therapist and learned to speak correctly. As a neuro spicy person, I can imitate accents. Midwest isn't a hard one... But you must admit, there is one... Also.... My mother's helusband from New York, lived in California for 20+ yrs then moved to Florida, still talks like someone from Queens. You cannot lose an accent... But you can gain one.
@@mickiofthemountainsI never realized I had an accent till I started online gaming and every time I mic'd up people would say one of three things: "Jersey Girl!" - "Omg! You sound like Harley Quinn!" Or "Are you from Boston?" The Boston one I take as an insult. New Yorker born and raised. Once people online started to point my accent out every single time I spoke I started to become hyper aware of it. Lol, teeter tottered between wanting to change it and trying to talk "normal" or just say so little it would be harder to catch, but after awhile I just sort of gave up and I dunno if it is due to age or just the fact it being pointed out so regularly made me hyper aware of it, but my accent got thicker and thicker as the years went on. 🤷🏻♀️ So much so that my own daughter, who is also a born and raised New Yorker makes fun of me for it.
I’m an accent enthusiast and have been for a very long time. I don’t know why but I get excited about it whenever I pick up that somebody’s got a distinctive accent on them. It’s been my experience that it depends on what part of the Midwest you live in as far as that no accent, accent. I’m here to tell you, Midwesterners have accents. Some of them make and sound like Ian, Mom sound like ma’am, not sound like Nat bag sound like bague and they hold their o’s a lot longer in words like boat, so, no, etc. Have somebody from Wisconsin say oh yeah and compare that to how it sounds when somebody from Texas or New York does it. It’s very distinctive.
City Floridian here. Hate to tell ya, but all y'all have an accent. 😂 It's just a slight sprinkle of Minnesota with a dash of Chicago. But as you move south, the Texarkana takes over.
Interesting. I’ll give it a shot. Italki is great for learning, but there are too many English teachers on that platform, so it’s hard charging more than $20-25 per hour if you actually want to attract enough students. I also taught for a Chinese company online, but only made about $24 per hour. I make $60 per hour for private in-person lessons as a licensed teacher, but I have not found an online option that pays anywhere near this rate.
@@EduardoLuna1987 Minneapolis Suburban district. It’s still cheaper than the $70-80 that tutoring companies charge, but the $60-80 rates are for academic tutoring sessions such as math and reading, not EFL classes.
@@JJ38255 Not the $60 in-person tutoring. That’s in the U.S. I’ve only managed to make about $24 per hour with online English lessons for students in China and other countries. I feel the market is over saturated with English teachers on many platforms. This is why the idea in the video sounded interesting. I’m sure Fiverr will fill up soon. I have a full-time teaching career in public schools, so I only do online work for a little extra money and to meet interesting people from around the world.
Regrettably true . . . not only do you have to battle with "accents", for example the Texas accent, or even a foreign accent, but you also may find yourself speaking with someone who uses so many slang expressions or "Street Lingo", that isn't usable in a professional or commercial setting.

That's $900 a week to be bilingual in a professional setting. That's called a rip-off. Do yourself a favor, go to trade school. Learn a trade. Apply your bilingual abilities to your profession. Make yourself money.
Great info, I was thinking of doing this as a side hustle. I'm articulate, well-educated, and have a background in Anthropology, so have skills to help non-native speakers. I've been in the opposite situation, learning a foreign language in a foreign country so can empathize with my potential clients.
@@cupidok2768 As I can see from your written comments, you need to improve your English vocabulary and overall skills before beginning this as a side hustle.
I am originally from South Carolina and have lived in Germany for 10 Years.I have run across some of my fellow Americans who thought I was either from the UK or from the Midwest of the USA 😂 I must have lost that Southern accent somewhere along the autobahn!!!!!
As you mentioned gently correcting mispronunciation, just, if you're going to use a French word, it's niche, pronounced neesh, not nitch. Couldn't resist!
You'd be surprised, when I was a volunteer English tutor for immigrants at the local library, I had two students say basically the same thing to me: "I want to learn how to talk like a black guy."
Do you think that I could get hired, english is my second language but I immigrated to the states at 10 years old, and like you mentioned my accent comes out when I speak more of my native language. I do think my english is excellent and I can definitely sound super American. But it really resonated with me when you said, are you looking for a friend and a safe space to practice, because when I was learning english I didn't have that and I was so ashamed of my english and never wanted people to think I'm a 'stupid immigrant'. I wonder if people would want to talk to me if I went with that approach in my profile. Would love to hear what you think, and if you actually read this you can hear me speak in my videos :) thank you for making this!
That’s a great opportunity for me I lost my English as I didn’t speak for years and I am still looking for an opportunity for practicing to get my fluent conversational English back
Just be out and about and do life outside the house and off of the internet so that you are naturally in positions to speak and interact with the English speakers around you. It will come back, just like they say, riding a bike.
I hope you don't correct your girlfriend 100% of the time. Sometimes, depending on what's going on, just leave it alone. If my guy friend corrected me all the time with Spanish, I'd have to hurt his feelings.
You can make 30 dollars+ an hour if you don't speak English in America, it's called the trades: construction, landscaping, HVAC, etc. they're practically a majority in these jobs.
I once talked to a woman here in the U.S. Her accent was so heavy that I couldn't understand her. Surely, she spoke her native language all the time in her community. Had she only practiced speaking English regularly, it would have been easier to understand her. I didn't want to say anything, and I didn't want to talk to her supervisor about it, and embarrass her. It would be nice if employers would hire people who didn't speak with such heavy accents. It's not fair to us.
Ya’ll prolly done be talkin bout dat dere fancy new york city english. On my momma i ain’t never done seen nobody worth nothin fancy talkin that uppity yap round here tho. Mountain dew or mabelline ? That’s what momma used to say mountain dew or mabelline ? You choose
I would like to do with Italian, I am a native Italian, I do English translations too but I don't have certificates and it is very difficult to find works. I have experience because my husband is kosovar and He knows Italian, we married two years ago, but I have to adjust grammatical and spelling sometimes. Thank-you.
Do you charge money for those services as a business? Then the course can show you how to get customers via Google Ads, SEO, Facebook ads etc. But if you don't have a way to receive money or a business then it wouldn't be relevant. You would need to make a course or provide a service. You can also do that on fiverr right now, there are other people doing well freelancing with those things.
@sethjared I do charge. But, it has just been a hobby. The way things currently are, I wouldn't be able to pay the bills with my recording work. It's a home studio. But, I might look into Fiver. I can write songs, record, do voice over work, master music, edit video. I'd think I could do all that full time. Hmmm?
This was great. Who knew talking for a living I could make extra money, I'm a hairdresser. All we do is talk. People tell us all kinds of private things so we become a confidant end therapist This is brilliant.
Hi Seth. I'm English born and have the ability to switch across my English accent, my Mid Atlantic accent (not quite The Non-Rhotic Mid Atlantic accent, made famous by Franklin D Roosevelt and Cary Grant, but passable) and I also speak Spanish with a Mexican accent - I have always been very fastidious when I learned Spanish (and French) with my pronunciation, I've always felt it's an essential part of learning any language. What would you suggest be the best place to start on these platforms? italki, Preply or Fiverr? Thanks for your input.
@@marciestoddard730 I beg to differ on that ma’am. I’m married to a native Spanish speaker and sometimes I don’t understand what she’s trying to say in English, because of her very thick accent. In my work, I have to converse with Africans, Indians, Arabs, Pakistanis and the list goes on. Most of th time, they speak and my brain is ????? Pronunciation is essential in learning any language- example, Americans tend to irritate the hell out of me the way THEY pronounce Spanish. Example Taco ( has a flat A), howver Americans pronounce it Tocco. WTF? Cilantro - Spanish pron. - Seelanthro - American Siillontro. 🤮 No ma’am, pronunciation is VERY important.
Thanks for this! 👍 I'm currently living in Mexico, and the one thing I've noticed is that the Mexicans I talk to say they don't speak English well. Funny thing is, they actually do, but they just need some tweaks. Most things they get wrong are easily corrected, and the flaws come from the way Spanish is pronounced, like things beginning with V. In Spanish, a V is commonly pronounced like a B. I have huge ears, AND I'm autistic, so I hear very well. Even if someone has I thick accent, once I know their native language, I can compensate and understand them. This comes in handy on customer service calls.
Hi Seth, thanks for putting out this video. I'm African, however i only speak English but I'm considered a native speak........any suggestions on how i could take advantage of this amazing opportunity Many thanks

Great info, I was thinking of doing this as a side hustle. I'm articulate, well-educated, and have a background in Anthropology, so have skills to help non-native speakers. I've been in the opposite situation, learning a foreign language in a foreign country so can empathize with my potential clients.
I'm a english beginner can I do this too ? why does his title sound so .....what's the word? I don't know what's the word.....I'm not a native speaker
This is real ?
@@cupidok2768 As I can see from your written comments, you need to improve your English vocabulary and overall skills before beginning this as a side hustle.
I speak English, but I’m from the south does that count?😂🎉 southern Louisiana.
I am originally from South Carolina and have lived in Germany for 10 Years.I have run across some of my fellow Americans who thought I was either from the UK or from the Midwest of the USA 😂 I must have lost that Southern accent somewhere along the autobahn!!!!!
Just remember: "American by birth, Southern by the grace of God"...

The English speaking market makes up 85% of all wealth around the world.
Preply does not work unless you want to work for free 😅
Do you have to be a native speaker?
Great video, loved your info!
30 a hour if you can speak English….
Me: well that eliminates 95% of the USA 🥱
Interested in Speak English, not the advertising
"if you can speak English"
yeah, no problem
"and if you enjoy talking to people"
ok, I'm out then
As you mentioned gently correcting mispronunciation, just, if you're going to use a French word, it's niche, pronounced neesh, not nitch. Couldn't resist!
What about ebonix English?. English from the hood?.
You'd be surprised, when I was a volunteer English tutor for immigrants at the local library, I had two students say basically the same thing to me: "I want to learn how to talk like a black guy."
I was gonna axed da same thing Shiiii yu red ma miiin
closed for application dude
Thanks for the plug🎉❤
Do you think that I could get hired, english is my second language but I immigrated to the states at 10 years old, and like you mentioned my accent comes out when I speak more of my native language. I do think my english is excellent and I can definitely sound super American. But it really resonated with me when you said, are you looking for a friend and a safe space to practice, because when I was learning english I didn't have that and I was so ashamed of my english and never wanted people to think I'm a 'stupid immigrant'. I wonder if people would want to talk to me if I went with that approach in my profile. Would love to hear what you think, and if you actually read this you can hear me speak in my videos :) thank you for making this!
That’s a great opportunity for me I lost my English as I didn’t speak for years and I am still looking for an opportunity for practicing to get my fluent conversational English back
Just be out and about and do life outside the house and off of the internet so that you are naturally in positions to speak and interact with the English speakers around you. It will come back, just like they say, riding a bike.
I teach English. Anytime you want a lesson I am sure we can.

I tried to register for the event. It says this webinar is over.
That's strange unless you were already registered. I would suggest refreshing the page and trying again.
Looks 👽
1.5 billion people speak English
How fun! Great thanks! ❤
I wonder if people would mind a Southern accent
I hope you don't correct your girlfriend 100% of the time. Sometimes, depending on what's going on, just leave it alone. If my guy friend corrected me all the time with Spanish, I'd have to hurt his feelings.
If you want to learn a language properly you need to be corrected every time you make a mistake, it’s all about repetition and habit…😅
It took him3:40 min to get to the point
On italki, English language is closed at the time of this comment.
Great info! I love discovering unique ways to make money. Keep 'em coming!
You can make 30 dollars+ an hour if you don't speak English in America, it's called the trades: construction, landscaping, HVAC, etc. they're practically a majority in these jobs.
Rather be laid on a beach in Thailand working 10/15 hrs per week when I decide
@@Boyeaton1 Wishful thinking, but dreaming is not illegal.
@@davestorm6718 You need to dream a little harder then because I've been doing it for the last 23 years. We are only limited by our own beliefs

Where are they paying that much for laborers? Nowhere that I'm aware of.
How to koin this.❤❤❤
I once talked to a woman here in the U.S. Her accent was so heavy that I couldn't understand her. Surely, she spoke her native language all the time in her community. Had she only practiced speaking English regularly, it would have been easier to understand her. I didn't want to say anything, and I didn't want to talk to her supervisor about it, and embarrass her. It would be nice if employers would hire people who didn't speak with such heavy accents. It's not fair to us.
Easier for you to say - try learning other people's language to relate
side hustle, what´s that in UK English?
Part time job.
@@sophiacromwell8017 thanx mate
Extra source of income.
Not part time job.
Correct English grammar, not just being fluent.
Ya’ll prolly done be talkin bout dat dere fancy new york city english. On my momma i ain’t never done seen nobody worth nothin fancy talkin that uppity yap round here tho. Mountain dew or mabelline ? That’s what momma used to say mountain dew or mabelline ? You choose

I suggest you read Merriam-Webster’s post on that matter. It can be found under the definition.

i speak english but i need advice on how to make money online remotely in colombia
Are you a native speaker?
@@marciestoddard730 yes
I got excited until he said you have to talk to people lmaoo
Hahaha I guess you are introverted!
Great video. I might try this.
I would like to do with Italian, I am a native Italian, I do English translations too but I don't have certificates and it is very difficult to find works. I have experience because my husband is kosovar and He knows Italian, we married two years ago, but I have to adjust grammatical and spelling sometimes. Thank-you.
I work a lame job, but I also have years of experience recording, mixing, and writing music. Can your marketing course help me monetize that?
Do you charge money for those services as a business? Then the course can show you how to get customers via Google Ads, SEO, Facebook ads etc. But if you don't have a way to receive money or a business then it wouldn't be relevant. You would need to make a course or provide a service. You can also do that on fiverr right now, there are other people doing well freelancing with those things.
@sethjared I do charge. But, it has just been a hobby. The way things currently are, I wouldn't be able to pay the bills with my recording work. It's a home studio. But, I might look into Fiver. I can write songs, record, do voice over work, master music, edit video. I'd think I could do all that full time. Hmmm?
What is the link please?
To what - my course? Or the sites I mention, you can google them and find them easily.
This was great. Who knew talking for a living I could make extra money, I'm a hairdresser. All we do is talk. People tell us all kinds of private things so we become a confidant end therapist This is brilliant.
You'll make more money as a hair dresser, trust me. And if you need more, then upsell some product (introduce the product, don't sell it).
Awesome!
2:39… Slangs? :) Gentle correction.
Let me guess, $30 an hour if you can, $200 an hour if you can't? Lol!
2:50 ... Wow, Seth. You must have a very young girlfriend.
Hi Seth. I'm English born and have the ability to switch across my English accent, my Mid Atlantic accent (not quite The Non-Rhotic Mid Atlantic accent, made famous by Franklin D Roosevelt and Cary Grant, but passable) and I also speak Spanish with a Mexican accent - I have always been very fastidious when I learned Spanish (and French) with my pronunciation, I've always felt it's an essential part of learning any language. What would you suggest be the best place to start on these platforms? italki, Preply or Fiverr? Thanks for your input.
Teaching isn't as much about your accent.
@@marciestoddard730 I beg to differ on that ma’am. I’m married to a native Spanish speaker and sometimes I don’t understand what she’s trying to say in English, because of her very thick accent.
In my work, I have to converse with Africans, Indians, Arabs, Pakistanis and the list goes on. Most of th time, they speak and my brain is ?????
Pronunciation is essential in learning any language- example, Americans tend to irritate the hell out of me the way THEY pronounce Spanish. Example Taco ( has a flat A), howver Americans pronounce it Tocco. WTF? Cilantro - Spanish pron. - Seelanthro - American Siillontro. 🤮
No ma’am, pronunciation is VERY important.
Thank you
I clicked on your link and was instantly blocked?
so if anyone tried this out and got success like say within a week? ( I'm considering 1 client within the first week as a success)
which platform?
@@Picasso_Picante92 pick any one mentioned in the vid or similar service level platform that is not mentioned.
Does he realize that making these videos will attract more people and drive down the rate?
john snow here
On Google maps I post my places I go. I have 12 million views. Do you have suggestions on how I can make money
Thanks for this! 👍 I'm currently living in Mexico, and the one thing I've noticed is that the Mexicans I talk to say they don't speak English well. Funny thing is, they actually do, but they just need some tweaks. Most things they get wrong are easily corrected, and the flaws come from the way Spanish is pronounced, like things beginning with V. In Spanish, a V is commonly pronounced like a B. I have huge ears, AND I'm autistic, so I hear very well. Even if someone has I thick accent, once I know their native language, I can compensate and understand them. This comes in handy on customer service calls.
this is half click bait. You should have titled it for "native english speakers" not just anyone that speaks fluent English. Bummer
Fake news
I could do this, but I would make them cry.
thanks seth, i'll give this a try.
I can already tell English is not your strong point. It's "a go".....NOT "ago" (there's a space between "a" and "go" )
@@weilunkang lol, thanks.
@@OYEMWIMINA lol why change "a go"? That was fine if you had just put a space between them.
@@weilunkang no worries. Thanks
Sorry but this is BS!!
