Sell lectures, not just slides
Course platforms ask you to build 40 hours of content before you earn a dollar. Talon's LaaS marketplace works at the size of a single lesson: publish priced, topic-based lectures, keep control of pricing and content, and reach learners at the moment they're stuck on your topic.
Create instructor accountHow it works
Create your instructor account
Sign up as an instructor and complete your marketplace profile — expertise, qualifications, and what you teach. This profile is what learners see when they consider your lectures.
Pass the background check
Submit for admin review. Talon serves K-12 students and their families, so every instructor is vetted before anything goes on sale. Once approved, you can create and price lectures.
Publish and earn
Submit lectures for content review. When approved, they appear in the learner marketplace for one-time purchase — priced by you, discoverable by students already studying your subject.
Why instructors choose the lecture model
You control the price and the content
Set your own lecture prices. Your material stays yours to edit, expand, or retire.
An audience that is already studying
Marketplaces fail without buyers. Talon learners arrive with homework, test dates, and specific topics they are stuck on — the exact moment a focused lecture sells.
A profile that compounds
Every published lecture builds your instructor profile. Learners who liked one lesson can find the rest of your work in one place.
Common questions
What can I sell on Talon?
Individual, topic-based lectures — the LaaS (Lecture as a Service) model. Instead of committing to a 40-hour course before earning anything, you publish focused lessons that learners buy one at a time. A single well-made lecture on a topic students actually get stuck on can start selling on its own.
How does approval work?
Two review steps. First, your instructor account goes through a background check and admin review — Talon serves K-12 learners, so vetting is not optional. Second, each lecture you submit passes a content review before it appears in the marketplace.
Who sets the price?
You do. You control pricing on each lecture, along with your instructor profile — expertise, qualifications, and the body of work learners see when they consider buying.
Who buys these lectures?
Talon learners — students from middle school through college using the platform for homework help, exam prep, and coursework. Your lectures appear in the marketplace they already study in, next to the moment they realize they need help with your topic.
Do I need to build a whole course first?
No — that is the point of the lecture model. Start with one or two lectures on topics you teach well, see what learners respond to, and expand from there. Instructors on traditional course platforms often spend months building before the first sale; here the unit of publishing is one lesson.
