In episode #2448, Neil and Eric talk about whether education is a good revenue stream. Their answer is no! Many people choose to sell ebooks, courses, and webinars as a way to make money, but Neil and Eric have chosen to give this kind of material away with the aim of increasing their reach, and then they make money by selling their services.
