Adjunct professors often complain that they can barely make enough money to get by — not so Rebecca Brown. Ms. Brown is the author of How To Teach Online (and Make $100,000 a Year), a book that she promotes on the Internet. She claims she has been teaching college-level classes to adults for the last four years and earning anywhere between $80,000 and $120,000 a year.
"I do it teaching from my patio, from the coffee house around the corner, from the lobby of the hotel in Tobago," she writes. Ms. Brown also runs a blog and a forum for online instructors. On her blog, she says she got into teaching online after responding to an advertisement from the University of Phoenix looking for people with master's degrees. –Andrea L. Foster
