We do not charge anyone to become an instructor on eLotus. Instead, we compensate our instructors with upfront speaker fees (for live webinars) or yearly royalties on a revenue-share basis (for on-demand video, audio, or article courses).

eLotus is committed to providing only the highest quality TCM education. To help us achieve this, please fill out the instructor form so we can verify that you are a qualified professional. Once you have at least one published course, you will appear on our instructor directory page.

From acupuncture and herbs to diagnosis and needling techniques, there is no limit to the topic you can teach to showcase your specialty and expertise. However, to help optimize the appeal of your course to the audience, our team will review your course proposal and may provide feedback to help fine-tune your topic. From our experience, courses in high demand often explore the top conditions for which patients seek an acupuncturist or herbalist, such as pain, allergies, anxiety, and many more. Our goal is to see you thrive. By taking extra time to review your proposed topic, we aim to help you maximize its sales potential and get the most out of your invested time.

You can directly upload and submit course files in video, audio, or article. If you are interested in teaching a live webinar, we will be in contact to work out further details, including the topic and scheduling.

Depending on the format, different requirements for content duration exist for a video, audio, or article course:

• Video: 60 minutes or longer for CEU courses; 30 minutes or longer for non-CEU courses
• Audio: 60 minutes or longer for CEU courses; 30 minutes or longer for non-CEU courses
• Article: 2,000 words or more for at least one hour of reading/comprehension time

Please refer to the respective course creation instructions for additional technical requirements and details:

• How to Create a Video Course
• How to Create an Audio Course
• How to Create an Article Course

Once we receive your course submission, our Quality Control Team will review it and contact you within 30 days if any update is needed before launching the course.

Follow the instructions in our new course form to complete your submission. Besides the course content file(s), you may need to supply additional course details, lecture notes, or quiz questions (for CEU application).

For a video or audio course, we recommend that you submit a 5-minute test recording first so we can help you check the production quality and inform you if any adjustment is needed before you complete making the entire course.

Yes! Although most courses on eLotus are in English, we welcome instructors to teach and offer video, audio, and article courses in other languages. But due to the smaller market for non-English classes, our live webinar offerings are limited to English courses to keep them relevant to most of our current audience.

We believe non-English courses are essential to promoting the wisdom of TCM to more areas of the world. To those who take the time and effort to make such contributions, we salute you for your commitment. We are grateful to have the opportunity to be of assistance - through offering your course - to benefit more practitioners and their patients worldwide.

You retain ownership of your content. By uploading your course to our platform, you grant us permission to:

1. Host the course.
2. Make it available to our users.
3. Promote it on our platform and through third-party services.

You are also free to sell your course on other platforms. However, we recommend keeping your pricing on eLotus competitive and not offering better pricing elsewhere.

Instructors can choose to receive a yearly payout through either a check, PayPal, or bank wire. Please complete the required paperwork to ensure a timely payout.

Yes! Our team will promote your course through various marketing channels once it launches on eLotus. You are welcome to help market your course by sharing its link with your audience. Better yet, you can request a coupon code to pass around so your students can enjoy additional discounts when they purchase your course.
