Selling study materials &/or faceless study youtube videos?
Hi everyone, I just finished my undergrad with a degree in biochemistry. I have a new lab job, but would really like to bring in a little extra money to start slowly paying off some credit card debt and save up for grad school applications (~1 year to do this). I would like to couple most of the prep work to things I'm already doing / have already done, if possible as I won't have a ton of free time moving forward.
I have a TON of notes from undergrad handwritten on my iPad in Goodnotes. I know they're good quality and they look great too. I took great pride in the concept maps and the review materials I made for my students when I was a TA. I also have a lot of general topic info maps I've added to over time from various classes and MCAT prep sources, which many friends, lab partners, and coworkers have asked for. I have written plenty of my own original test questions and flashcards, and all notes are written in my own words. However, I worry about the legality of selling these for profit outside of an academic setting. I also feel like this is an area where people still find AI useful. Does anyone have any experience selling study materials they've made/designed? Which sites are best?
I spend several hours at a time studying for the US MCAT. I come across a lot of 1-4 hr long "study with me" videos on YouTube that have hundreds of thousands and sometimes even millions of views, so I'm thinking that could be a good niche. I think I have a visually good set up for this. I get the impression that most people do faceless youtube by generating short-form content, but I could be wrong. Do people have success with long-form faceless youtube? I also see lots of people do study live streams, how does that work in terms of monetization?
