Dance professionals — like professionals in any other industry — want to earn a sustainable income doing what they love. That’s why it’s so important for dancers to create passive income streams!

‍

What is passive income?

Passive income is income that is earned while you are not working. It does not directly correlate with the amount of time you spend working, but it can be generated by your assets & knowledge. Often, dance expertise is a skill that one acquires over time — and a lot of time, effort and energy goes into it. So it’s only natural you try to monetize and generate passive income from it.

Passive income streams allow you to make money while you sleep, go on vacation, or spend time with your friends/family. They help you take your career to the next level and make more money in less time than ever before!

“You become financially free when your passive income exceeds your expenses.” — T. Harv Eker

‍

Why are passive income streams important for dance professionals?

Passive income streams are important for dance professionals because they can help you achieve financial stability, professional growth, and greater financial & professional freedom.

Passive income streams also give you the ability to do what you love while providing an alternative source of income that allows you time off from work or study.

How can you create passive income streams as a dance professional?

You can set up a business that will allow you to generate passive income while still maintaining your current lifestyle. This may require some initial investment but once up and running, there should be no further costs associated with running it unless something breaks down which would then require repairs.

• Create an online course for students
• Online courses can be sold on your website & storefront as well as marketed on platforms such as Udemy and Skillshare.
• Offer a relevant, engaging and well-structured course that fits your skills and experience, but also appeals to the audience you want to reach with your content..
• Use your social media account to promote the class or post links where people can sign up information about it. Versai’s Social Storefront allows you to share your portfolio easily across social media platforms, allowing people to learn more about your offerings in one click, thereby increasing conversion.

TIP: It is important to share & post regularly, so ensure you are posting at least once every week, if not more often. Again, the more the better :)
