Investors with a solid track record can now turn their market savvy into profit by teaching on investingLive Academy’s new instructor platform. The programme, aimed at seasoned traders and financial educators, offers a structured path from course creation to audience growth and higher earnings.

Eligibility for Instructors

Only professionals who have spent a minimum of five years trading are invited to join. Those who secure approval can immediately start building a public profile, publish courses, and expand their reach across the Academy’s network.

Tiered Progression

All accepted teachers begin at the Bronze level. As they release more lessons, attract learners, and maintain solid course ratings, they automatically climb through the four tiers—Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum—each unlocking greater revenue shares and additional tools.

Bronze

  • Entry tier for all approved instructors.
  • Income derived from a share of the Unlimited creator revenue pool, calculated by accumulated points.

Silver

  • Requires publishing at least 15 courses on the Unlimited catalogue and keeping an average rating above 4.0.
  • Earns 50 % of VIP subscription revenue.
  • Continues to receive a share of the Unlimited pool based on points.
  • Eligibility hinges on having 100 active VIP subscribers and an average rating above 4.0.

Gold

  • Demands 1,000 active VIP subscribers and a course rating of 4.0 or higher.
  • Provides 60 % of VIP subscription revenue and a share of the Unlimited pool.
  • Adds live‑course access and built‑in Q&A features.

Platinum

  • The top tier, available to instructors who meet the Gold criteria and exceed the subscriber threshold.
  • Grants 70 % of VIP subscription revenue and a share of the Unlimited pool.
  • Offers live‑course hosting, Q&A, secure weekly payouts, automated tier upgrades, and dedicated content support.

Course Creation Process

After a quick, one‑minute application, approved teachers can set up their personal profile and immediately begin designing their first module. The Academy’s framework encourages a step‑by‑step approach: publish, gather feedback, refine, and repeat.

Existing Educational Catalogue

InvestingLive Academy already hosts a range of courses, such as the Principles of Trading Masterclass. This flagship program breaks down five core lessons—crafting a trading mission statement, developing a game plan, establishing rules, selecting tools, and executing trades—using videos, slide decks, reading materials, quizzes, and progress checkpoints.

Joining the Programme

The initiative aims to broaden the platform’s expertise pool, giving learners access to a wider array of trading insights. Those with at least five years of trading experience can apply now, set up their instructor profile, and start monetising their knowledge.

Revenue Sharing and Tier‑Specific Benefits

The Instructor Programme allocates earnings from two distinct revenue streams: the Unlimited creator pool and the VIP subscription model. All newly approved instructors begin at the Bronze level, where they receive a proportion of the Unlimited pool that is calculated from points earned through course activity. To remain at this entry tier, creators must have published at least 15 Unlimited courses and sustain an average course rating of 4.0 or higher.

Silver tier – Instructors who attract 100 active VIP subscribers while keeping an average rating above 4.0 move up to Silver. At this stage they keep half of the revenue generated from VIP subscriptions and continue to share the Unlimited pool according to their points.

Gold tier – Advancement to Gold requires a minimum of 1,000 active VIP subscribers together with the same 4.0‑plus rating benchmark. Gold instructors claim 60 % of VIP subscription income, retain their Unlimited pool share, and gain access to live‑course delivery tools as well as a dedicated Q&A feature for their classes.

Platinum tier – The highest level is unlocked when an instructor maintains 1,000+ active VIP subscribers and an average rating above 4.0, while also meeting any additional performance criteria set by the platform. Platinum creators receive 70 % of VIP subscription revenue, a share of the Unlimited pool, live‑course capabilities, Q&A tools, and a suite of premium services: secure weekly payouts, automated tier upgrades, and a dedicated content‑support team.

Automatic Advancement and Payout Mechanics

Progression through the four tiers is not manual; the system monitors key performance indicators—course count, subscriber numbers, and learner ratings—and upgrades instructors as soon as each threshold is satisfied. This seamless transition ensures that growing educators instantly benefit from higher revenue splits and expanded teaching tools without needing to submit additional requests.

Weekly payouts are guaranteed for Platinum members, providing a predictable cash‑flow schedule. For lower tiers, earnings are disbursed on the standard platform timetable, with all instructors receiving transparent statements that detail their share of the Unlimited creator pool and any VIP subscription income earned.

Strengthening the Academy’s Educational Offering

By onboarding seasoned traders and educators, the programme enriches the Academy’s catalogue beyond its existing flagship content. For instance, the “Principles of Trading Masterclass” already delivers five comprehensive lessons covering a trader’s mission statement, strategic game plan, rule set, essential tools, and market execution techniques. Each module blends video instruction, slide decks, reading material, quizzes, and progress checkpoints to reinforce learning outcomes.

The new instructor pipeline will expand this foundation, allowing experienced market professionals to develop bespoke courses that complement the current curriculum. As a result, learners gain exposure to a broader spectrum of trading strategies, asset classes, and analytical approaches, enhancing the overall depth and diversity of the Academy’s educational ecosystem.

Supporting Instructors Throughout Their Journey

Beyond monetary incentives, the programme equips creators with a public profile page that showcases their expertise, course portfolio, and learner reviews. This visibility helps instructors attract a larger audience and establish credibility within the trading community. Additionally, the dedicated content‑support team available to Platinum members assists with curriculum design, technical troubleshooting, and promotional strategies, ensuring that high‑performing educators have the resources needed to maintain a high‑quality learning experience.

Broadening Educational Impact

investingLive Academy positions itself as a comprehensive online learning hub dedicated to trading and financial education. Its catalogue of courses and supplemental learning materials is designed to empower traders of all levels to deepen their market insight and hone actionable skills.

The platform’s Instructor Programme invites seasoned trading professionals to develop and disseminate their own courses. By joining the programme, educators can expand their reach, attract a wider student base, and monetize their expertise as they ascend through the Academy’s tiered system. This structure rewards growth and encourages continuous engagement with both the curriculum and the community.
