Now that summer is here (well at least for many of us) I often get the question “What do you teachers do all summer?”

Sometimes this question is presented in a derogatory way as to suggest how easy teachers have it with summers off, weekends, holidays, etc.

Bla, bla, bla…I’ve heard it before and I know I will here it again. My response is simply, “Hey, if it is so easy…why don’t you do it?”

Other times, however, the question is not intended to be derogatory…just simple curiosity…what do teachers do during the summer?

I know for many teachers just knowing that they have an extended break allows them to work harder during the school year (putting in way more hours than they should), but this extended break also allows teachers (for better or worse) to put off any and all projects until summer break.

Personally, I spend a lot of time catching up on all the stuff I put off…

Unfortunately though, many teachers are forced to work second jobs. The pay for teachers is so low that many simply have no other choice, but to find some type of hourly job just to help pay the bills.

That is what I was forced to do…find a second job. However, I did not want just some hourly job that would stop bringing in money as soon as the summer was over.

No, I wanted to start some type of small side business that could continue to make me money during the year and continue to grow year after year.

This is precisely how I started my online ventures that now include three major ebooks, a teaching newsletter, blog, forum, articles, e-courses etc.

It didn’t happen overnight and I still have so much to learn, but each year it builds up a little more.

I now make significantly more money than I ever could with any side “summer-time” job…and that money comes in all-year long.

I wrote a report a couple of years ago about how I got started and how other teachers can do the same. I called the report, “How Teacher Can Make Extra Money Doing What the Love”

I give the report away as a free gift.

This summer I plan on revamping that short 19-page report into full-fledged ebook with an unbelievable amount of resources to help other teachers get past that traditional “summer job”.

However, when the new ebook is completed the old report will be pulled off the shelves and I will no longer be able to offer it for free…there is just too much work involved….in fact, my internet marketing buddies thought I was nuts for even giving the original report away for free, but hey…they’re not teachers

However, in the meantime, you can still download the original report for free. It is still filled with a great deal of information to help you get started.

Hope you enjoy it…
