Online course marketplace, Udemy, recently shared its list of top ten earners on its platform, led by Victor Bastos, who's made over $450K teaching web development since November 2011. But you don't have to teach techie skills to make the big bucks: last year, kindergarten teacher Deanna Jump topped $1 million selling classroom materials on Teachers Pay Teachers.
