What are the prospects if?

At the moment I am training towards my CPL via the modular scheme with the aim of becoming an instructor.

I have sufficient money to get a CPL and complete an instructor's course with a little left over.

I am keen to make the most of this as I am sure I would enjoy instructing, but I have the following questions (very open ones mind you!).

I cannot afford to give up the day job so any instructing would need to be on the side. How many hours could I realistically expect to achieve in terms of teaching over the course of a year?

I am aware that unpaid instructors are frowned upon, but are part-time instructors also frowned upon? (I cannot afford a 60% drop in salary, although I wish I could).

What would I need to do to add further strings to my bow eg. multi engine instruction/IMC rating instruction?

Many thanks in advance
