 A One-of-a-Kind, Must-Read February 19, 2007
Becky T. (Nevada)

As a current student of an online advanced-degree program, who is considering teaching in the growing online educational industry, I highly recommend "Make Money Teaching Online." It is one of those rare reference (how-to) books that is actually compelling and provides helpful insights in every chapter (note: I found that skipping around by chapter and segments provides information but reading the book in totality really maximizes the overall experience). The authors both have doctoral degrees and solid histories of teaching online, but unlike typical research work, the book includes their personal insights and stories which make the information easy to understand and retain, in a one-on-one coaching style.
This is an excellent book for those interested in teaching online and even for those considering enrolling in a school with online degrees (as it provides a clear, inside perspective of the online education industry). From its initial information on the credibility of online schools, to its step-by-step job hunting directions, to what to expect in benefits and compensation, down to its "Must-Have Technologies" chapter, this book has been thoughtfully and meticulously written. I appreciate that it is not a glossy motivational book but one that is seemingly grounded in reality and honesty.
My only question was why these authors have so generously given of their experience and information which will only increase the competition...my peers who have had classes facilitated by Dr. Mirabella have said that he is extremely responsive and intensely focused on their learning, so I have to assume it is about the genuine passion to teach and help others (book royalties only go so far)...Whatever the reason for their book however, their enthusiasm and dedication make for a refreshing, must-read.

Dr. Babb's book answers so many questions that one might have when entering the realm of online teaching. This book will help you figure out what your resume should look like, what to say in your cover letter, where to look and what questions one might be asked. I used this book as a supplement to my Transition Assistance Program which helped me a great deal. If one does not have the benefit of professional resume writers and such, I would suggest getting extra reading material. However, I think that this book is geared towards people who are already professionals in their fields so it should work just fine.

I'm a professional paranoid, so I was pretty suspicious that the book would be some get rich quick scheme. It isn't. This is a very sound book that make a pretty convencing demonstration that one can take solid academic credentials and some teaching experience and work at home. The authors are well experienced in the field and made comments regarding online tools that I also share about the same tools. They do indeed know what they are talking about.
If you have a masters or (better) terminal degree in your field, love teaching and mentoring, and want to work at home full time, this is an excellent book.

i wanted to buy this book for myself, but my fiance wouldn't let me. It turned out she told her brother to buy it for me for Christmas.
Well, I read it, and put it to work. It took a few tries, but Dr Jim and his co-author put together a good set of tools that you can use to find that online teaching job. Now, here I sit, just finishing grading papers even though I'm still a PhD candidate myself. While I can't teach PhD level courses, I found after reading this book that I could teach at the undergraduate level, and found myself a position with a school that does offer graduate programs, so once the PhD is complete I'll be able to transition into the higher-level courses. Thanks Dr Jim!

This is an excellent resource for those wishing to begin teaching online. I have met and taken a course from one of the authors and I highly recommend this book. It contains detailed information on what to do and not do.
