Startup costs are typically around $200 to $1,200, depending on the software you need, your video and audio setup and the platform you use to run classes. These are estimates, so start with what you already own.

Monthly revenue is typically around $200 to $2,500, depending on your class prices, the number of students and how often you run live sessions. This is an estimate of revenue before costs, not profit.

Check software licensing, to confirm you may teach with and show the programs you use. Only use images and music you own or have permission to use. Check insurance that suits online teaching, your ABN and when GST registration applies.
