I’m thrilled to share an inspiring conversation with Katie Gettys, an innovative entrepreneur who has mastered the art of scaling online teaching businesses. Katie's journey is a fascinating blend of passion, travel, and entrepreneurial spirit that offers valuable lessons for educators everywhere.
From Classroom to Global AdventureKatie began her career as a traditional music educator, teaching elementary school students. However, a quarter-life crisis at age 25 led her to take a bold step. She left her classroom job to travel and live abroad, spending time in Prague and exploring Europe and Southeast Asia. During this period, she discovered online teaching through VipKid, where she taught English to children in China.
Discovering Outschool and Online Music TeachingUpon returning to the States at the onset of the pandemic, Katie missed her musical roots and sought ways to teach music online. She found Outschool, an online platform that allows teachers to create and offer classes to children aged 3 to 18. Within three months, Katie was making more than half of her previous teaching salary, and she knew she had found her niche.
What is Outschool?Outschool is an online marketplace connecting students and teachers for a wide range of subjects, including music, life skills, and more. Unlike traditional education platforms, Outschool does not require teachers to have formal degrees—just a passion and expertise in their subject area. While Outschool takes a 30% cut of earnings, the platform’s extensive marketing and student base make it a valuable partner for many educators.
Expanding Her StudioKatie’s success on Outschool allowed her to scale her business further by hiring other teachers to meet growing demand. This move not only diversified her studio’s offerings (including piano, voice, and drums) but also enabled her to serve more students effectively. Transitioning from an independent teacher to managing an organization on Outschool required creating a legal entity and demonstrating her ability to attract students, a process Katie now helps others navigate through her coaching business.
Overcoming Challenges and Personal GrowthKatie’s journey wasn’t without challenges. She faced significant self-doubt, especially when considering hiring other teachers. However, she worked through these limiting beliefs and embraced her role as a leader. Katie also shared insights into managing multiple projects and the importance of simplifying to avoid overwhelm.
The Importance of Focus and SimplificationBoth Katie and I resonate with the idea that business growth often reflects personal growth. Katie has explored various business avenues but recently emphasized the need to focus on what truly matters. This approach reduces stress and increases efficiency, allowing her to enjoy the freedom that entrepreneurship promises.
Katie’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of pursuing your passion, even if it means taking unconventional paths. Her success with Outschool and her ability to scale her business while maintaining a focus on personal growth offer valuable lessons for all educators.

In today's digital age, establishing a strong online presence is essential for success in any industry. Whether you're running a small business or building a personal brand, converting online visitors into loyal customers is the key to growth and sustainability. In this blog post, we'll explore five essential strategies to supercharge your online platform and drive meaningful conversions.
1. Captivating Content:
Quality content is the foundation of any successful online presence. From blog posts to social media updates, compelling content grabs attention, builds authority, and drives engagement. To create captivating content, focus on providing value to your audience, addressing their pain points, and sparking meaningful conversations. By consistently delivering high-quality content, you'll establish yourself as a trusted resource in your niche and attract more visitors to your website.
2. Seamless User Experience:
A seamless user experience is crucial for converting visitors into customers. Your website should be easy to navigate, visually appealing, and optimized for speed and performance. Pay attention to factors such as site structure, page layout, and mobile responsiveness to ensure that users can find what they're looking for quickly and easily. By prioritizing user experience, you'll reduce friction in the conversion process and increase the likelihood of visitors taking action.
3. Conversion-Focused Forms:
Streamline the process of capturing leads and collecting information with conversion-focused forms. Design your forms to be user-friendly, intuitive, and easy to complete. Minimize the number of fields required and use clear, concise language to guide users through the form submission process. By reducing cognitive load and making it as simple as possible for users to provide their information, you'll increase the likelihood of conversions and generate more leads for your business.
4. Compelling Reviews:
Social proof is a powerful driver of conversions. Encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews and testimonials sharing their positive experiences with your products or services. Display these reviews prominently on your website to build trust and credibility with potential customers. Be sure to respond promptly and professionally to both positive and negative reviews, demonstrating your commitment to customer satisfaction and transparency. By showcasing real-life success stories, you'll inspire confidence in your brand and encourage more conversions.
5. Video Testimonials:
Harness the persuasive power of video testimonials to drive conversions. Video content is highly engaging and allows you to tell a compelling story that resonates with your audience. Encourage satisfied customers to share their experiences on camera, highlighting the benefits of your products or services. Incorporate these video testimonials into your website and marketing materials to provide authentic social proof and inspire trust in your brand. By leveraging the emotional impact of video content, you'll create a memorable impression on your audience and drive more conversions.
