Press Release Summary: The beauty of this whole exercise is now a teacher-publisher can pick it up as a full-time profession. The website promises to sustain teachers as they can easily bank on it. Some of the teachers would soon be earning the amounts that they had never thought of. And, that may go on rising month after month, as more and more students would attempt those tests.
Press Release Body: NEW DELHI, March 9 - As a big boost to online publishing in the country, tcyonline.com, the largest teacher-student platform, has introduced an attractive revenue model for teachers, which would enable them earn a steady monthly income by uploading their content on the website. The idea is to not only 'empower' but also 'unlock' the writing potential of thousands of teachers nursing a secret desire to become authors.
Talking about this unique concept launched last week, the CEO of tcyonline.com, Mr. Kamal Wadhera said, "It's a real bonanza for teachers. Now they can start earning through our website right from the day one as they can get their product published even if it is a couple of tests. Though we are particular about content, but we do not bind them for exclusive rights."
Giving a whole new meaning to education web browsing in India, tcyonline.com has also decided to hop on to the technological bandwagon by adopting the 'Web 2.0' concept. Now, it would be the user who will be calling the shots, for he will be in full cruise control of the cutting edge technology.
"This new concept would not only give a technological flavour to our student-teacher platform but their urge to splurge (knowledge) will be in the fast lane now, no speed limits," said the CEO.
But what exactly is 'Web 2.0'? Simply put, it is a social search engine that makes the web search more user-friendly. Peer-to-peer and community learning is the hallmark of this new social order. Now people can upload as well download, turning the web into a kind of a 'global brain'. This new concept is akin to making television watching an active exercise from mostly a passive one at present.
Close to 100,000 enrolments, tcyonline.com hosts free online tests, ranging from CBSE to MBA; medical to engineering, etc. These downloadable practice tests help the student in not only assessing his level before the actual exam, but is a wonderful way to benchmark himself with anybody and anywhere in country, from Kashmir to Cochin.
Talking about the benefits of this new 'transparent' revenue model, Mr. Wadhera said, "Unlike conventional publishing, the online thing has put everything on a teacher's desktop. Now, he can keep track of his earnings. Just with an effort of three-four hours on a single test, a teacher can make thousands of rupees. He uploads the test and 'downloads the money'."
The beauty of this whole exercise is now a teacher-publisher can pick it up as a full-time profession. The website promises to sustain teachers as they can easily bank on it. Some of the teachers would soon be earning the amounts that they had never thought of. And, that may go on rising month after month, as more and more students would attempt those tests.
Even if they choose to write only for this platform, it may easily become their full time occupation. However, the website suggests them to be patient for a few months before this level of income arrives. Another advantage is that as more and more students attempt these tests, better the popularity of the tests, and hence better his future prospects.
Talking about strict quality control Mr. Wadhera said, "We respect originality, if anytime we become aware that any part of content on our site infringes the copyrights of a third party, we will remove it."
