Options that build on your clinical work
- Group classes. Closest to what you already do. See group classes for physios.
- Video consultations. For patients in other cities or abroad. See a paid online caseload.
- Corporate ergonomics and wellness talks. Companies pay for posture assessments and talks. See online ergonomics consulting.
- Teaching. Students, interns, exam coaching and colleagues. See teaching other physios.
- Online programs. A structured program for one common problem. See earning online as a physio.
- Products. Supports and equipment patients already need. See selling supports ethically.
Choose with three questions
- Does it use what I am already good at?
- Who will pay, and can I reach them? Your patients and referring doctors are the easiest start.
- How long before it earns? Classes can earn in weeks; an online course can take a year.
Test before you invest
Do one workshop before building a full course. Give one corporate talk before printing brochures. If people pay for the small version, build the bigger one.
Keep professional standards
Anything with your name and profession represents your registration. Advice online must still be safe. Follow your council's code of ethics on advertising, and do not promise cures.
Track it separately
Note each income's money and time separately, so you know what really works.

Group classes or video consultations, because they use skills and patients you already have.

Yes, through video consultations, programs, teaching, YouTube and corporate work. It takes time to build.
Will a second income take time away from my clinic?
It can. Start small and measure it.
