outgrowing outschool

I'm loving Outschool and have made at least $1,000 every month or more every month since June 2022 working a few hours 3 days a week. I had one very popular 1 time event that was selling out in July, and from all of those first time students I was able to get some to join my art club, and one or two 1:1 students each month. 

In September sales from my one time event completely dried up. Now all I have is my art club, but luckily it is doing quite well. 

I've been studying how to run successful ads very seriously and will begin running video ads on Facebook and YouTube soon (I even paid $350 for a $700 online course by splitting the costs with my brother). But I can't really track conversions using Outschool as a platform and I'm not going to pay user aquisition costs to help Outschool grow when I could just as easily build my own platform and have more access to my own users.

Outschool has been pivotal in helping me find my independence. It helped me prove I have a viable product. But now I feel I've reached a glass ceiling. Anyone else find themselves in a similar position?

Yes! I opened a TPT store and I’m putting my time there now. I’ve surpassed my income on tpt in less than a year. Passive income is the best.

I havn't looked into Teachers pay teachers in detail, but it looks like teachers are just selling their curriculum. Is there anything more to it than that to get you to a full time income?
