The gmat prep market is super saturated. I’m sure someone would pay for that but not sure how you’d market yourself / differentiate yourself from everything that already exists. (And there’s a ton of content that’s free.)
I made $12k making videos about AWS lambdas and CLI a few years ago. What I learned was it’s impossible to advertise on expensive keywords. Youre either all in or not doing it for profit.
Too many free resources online, on YouTube, insta, gmat club etc.
Even the test prep companies give a lot of free stuff

Despite what other people are saying, I believe there is a market for this. The problem is, getting a 780 doesn’t mean you’d be a good teacher. I scored the same and honestly I found that my reasoning will make sense if I’m helping out a friend who’s at a similar level, but I don’t think I’d be helpful for the 650 scorer who wants to break 700, which is honestly most of the market.
Post the videos on YouTube, get some feedback, and monetize from there. But charging money right off the bat as a nobody will be tough.
Fair points. I have no idea if I’d be a good teacher.
Video? Probably not. People would probably pay for 1 on 1 tutoring though if you're competitively priced.
Yeah, I’ve been thinking about that as well (and also looking into SAT tutoring, rich Manhattan parents pay so much $ for that). The issue is finding time when consulting is so demanding...which is why I was exploring a video since it’s kind of an upfront time investment that would hopefully pay dividends long after
Create a YouTube channel and post it for free instead. It’ll be easier than marketing it for $20, you’ll reach a larger audience/help more people, and if you get a large enough audience you can probably do paid shoutouts for the established admissions consulting/GMAT prep firms.
For the walk thru mock CAT part, check copyright issues if you want to make the videos public.
Great point that I hadn’t considered. I’ll look into copyright restrictions for the official mocks vs Princeton review, Kaplan, etc. worst comes to worst I just slightly change all the questions a bit. Cross that bridge when I get there.

I’d pay for that $10 max. Plenty of free video and live sessions offered by TTP and Manhattan
Thanks for the data point. Hey, that’d be $10 more than I have right now! :)
I would pay for that. Lmk if you want me to give feedback on your material. Studying for the gmat. Trying to go from 710 to 760
Yah take my exam 4 me
I’m not trying to get operation varsity blue’d
Maybe if you did the videos on only fans
