What would you prefer?

Hi c:
SO I really love to teach art... I actually think it's my favourite thing. I'm beginning to think that teaching is what I would love to do full time. I don't mean at a school or anything necessarily but offer private (online) lessons or I've been even thinking about making a Youtube channel (although I'm terribly awkward infront of a camera, so I need to work on that).
I find teaching helps me learn best too so it's really a mutual experience which I love. I just need to figure out the best way to go about it. I would love to hold classes (like I have with Anatomy, Value/Colour and then Composition this month) but I'm thinking I would either like something of a longer term (like 3-month long classes) or just really going indepth on subjects in a PDF file and making it look super pretty with a bunch of graphics and then selling those as individual packages or all together like a little book or something. What would you guys like?
Here are your options, I would appreciate if you voted! (several different options is ok)
a. Youtube channel where I post streams, tutorials, process vids where I talk about my process, etc.
b. Bunch of pretty and detailed PDF files on specific topics for you to tackle one-by-one so you're not just overwhelmed by the millions of tutorials/information found online. Can be sold separately or together in like an "e-book" format.
c. Visual tutorials, like a .png that I can send that contains images a little footnotes explaining the information. Could include anatomy tutorials, shading tutorials, a walkthrough of my process, etc.
d. Personal one-on-one lessons where I help you tackle on topic, price depending on how long you'd like to work together.
e. A 3-month long mentorship one-on-one.
Let me know what you think! :3

good luck!
I know that doesn't exactly help but the first two are good for the general populous and the latter two would be great for artists trying to improve on specific things as well (as an example, I'm trying to get a better sense of anatomy and line art myself atm)
Those are just my thoughts ^.^
i know a few people who don't do well on camera so they just make the video then record their voice over their video to explain what they are doing :)
dun know if that makes since or not im not very good at getting my thoughts written out stupid dyslexia >.< but yay for spell check X3
As for what I'd prefer for myself? I'm going to say Option A. It the best option right now that ensures both you and your students can grow and develop. Thing is, you're going to have to branch out beyond pinups, like backgrounds, landscapes, cityscapes, and other such things. I think you and everyone have the most to gain with Option A.
Giving it a lot of thought, but chances are I'll do some combination of things, including a youtube channel. I just literally don't even know where to start in regards to how to record and do voiceovers and stuff like that so I've got a lot to research, which is a bit intimidating. I'll look into it now. Thanks for the feedback :)
Easier to focus, you don't feel as pressured, and you have more time to work with someone
I personally think video tutorials and mentorships would be the best route. If it came down to reading for a tutorial then I'd rather buy a book from James Gurney or something. Videos and mentorships are really the biggest advantage you have digitally so you might as well use them as best you can.
just because i feel any of those 3 options would help me best.
A would also be good.
Teaching is a great benefit for both sides, especially for improvement :)
With that said, options A, C, and E sounds like very good options from my POV. Hope this helps!
