    How to Choose a Virtual Classroom Tool

    If you are familiar with online teaching or coaching, you would know that one of the most important choices you need to make, is the platform that you will use for teaching. Zoom is a popular choice, but it is primarily just a communication tool, not a virtual classroom environment. What advantages does switching to a dedicated online classroom tool bring to you as coach or language trainer? How does a virtual classroom streamline your business and add value for your clients? Today I am joined by Wilim Abrook, Head of Education and Community Development at LearnCube. He is an online ESL teacher himself, and regularly speaks with teachers and schools at all levels, to understand how LearnCube can meet their online education needs.

    Validating Your ELT Niche

    You’ve probably heard countless business coaches tell you that in order to succeed online, you need to have a niche. And it’s true. The online market is flooded with generalists. You need to stand out. But how do you know that your niche idea “has legs”? How do you know that there is even a market of people who would hire you to help them? How do you know that you aren’t going to waste time and resources building a brand that nobody cares about? Today we are going to meet Kirsten Smith whom I think has a great story to tell about how she chose her coaching niche and the steps she took to validate her idea before going on to success.

    If you are trying to build a brand and reputation as an expert in your teaching or coaching niche, one of the most important things you can do is create content. By writing, videoing, or recording your thoughts for the world, you are positioning yourself as an authority who your ideal clients will turn to for help. But producing content isn’t easy. How do you generate ideas for new content? How do you overcome “writers block”. How do you create original material that engages your readers and doesn’t put them to sleep? In this podcast, we hear from professional content writer, Cheri Gipson. She gives advice on how to tackle those challenges and more.

  8. Sales Tips for ESL Teachers

    Sales Tips for ESL Teachers

    If you are like the majority of independent teachers, I’m going to guess that you feel uncomfortable about the prospect of “sales calls” with clients. Maybe you believe that as a teacher, trainer or coach, “selling” is something completely outside your wheelhouse, something you’d prefer NOT to do at all, if that were possible. And yet, anyone who is engaged in selling a personal service needs to recognize that there IS a requirement to convert “interested prospects” into “paying clients” in order to have a sustainable business. So, is there a way to approach sales that doesn’t make us feel “salesy” when interacting with clients? Is there a way to discuss what we charge with clients in manner that doesn’t create a feeling of awkwardness? Today, we are going to learn about how to tackle “selling” with a whole different mindset. We’ll discuss how to interact with clients using an approach that achieves our business objectives but doesn’t compromise our values or integrity. My guest today has a personal mission to help teachers make MORE money, work FEWER hours, and enjoy freedom. He is Robbie Kane, Chief Marketing Officer of Bowie Strategy, working with James Liu.
