Episode notes
Listener Found Real Demand For Free CEUs
- Tricia built a list of free CEU offerings after a Facebook post showed strong demand from fellow medical coders.
- She plans a website and monthly newsletter listing free continuing education credits because employers often no longer pay for staff education.
Monetize By Partnering With CE Providers
- Partner with organizations that create paid CE courses so you earn affiliate or referral income for signups.
- Start by passing traffic through their signup flows, then scale to taking signups directly when volume justifies more control.
Don't Rely On Ads For A Niche CE Site
- Avoid relying on display ads as the primary income source because small niche traffic won't generate meaningful revenue.
- Focus on direct monetization tied to the CE market where providers already spend to acquire learners.
