Hi,
I just got hired as a tire technician at a place. My main tasks would be to mount tires. I think that this job is more of a career than being a dishwasher at a weird restaurant which is part time at best. I feel that at this job an appropriate side hustle would be to teach this trade online. I'm just wondering what platforms that I can teach this skilled trade online for time up front for passive income.

All I can think of is looking into sites, from universities, that teach online classes in Physics, which must require some amount of lab work. Maybe also filming instructional videos?

I absolutely agree with the meaning of berkeman's question. ESPECIALLY for any kind of manual or mechanical skills.

You can use YouTube; put out some videos for free and add links to the rest of the paid videos. But when you do this, you will have to make sure that people are willing to pay for your videos. Quality is very important here.
 
So your plan is to teach others moments after you learned it yourself?
This seems dubious.
