When you first started your business, you might have felt like you were being salesy if you came right out and talked about your products. I felt the same way and finally realized that if I wasn’t talking about my products and services, then no one else would. There’s some skill behind doing it the right way and doing the wrong way. Of course, saying “Buy my product!” is tacky, so let’s discuss some ways for you to discuss your products as the solution to your idea customer’s problems.

Let me start by saying blogging is not dead. I’m not sure who started that rumor, but let me tell you, blogging + Pinterest = massive growth for your online tutoring business. I love blogging so much that this whole month on the blog is dedicated to growing your business using blogging. Blogging takes time and dedication to get good at.

There are other ways to grow your tutoring business without spending a ton of cash on ads. One of the best ways to build a community is with a Facebook group.

Starting a Facebook group that has your ideal client in mind is the first step to establishing those three crucial factors.

If you’re looking to make more money in your tutoring business, then friend, you’ve come to the right place. Over the past 3 years, I’ve grown a successful online tutoring business with multiple streams of income all while being a full-time teacher. If I can do it, so can you!

You know things need to change because your tutoring business hasn’t grown like you’d hoped it would. You’re tired of trying to figure out how to talk about your business.

As teachers, we’ve been bombarded with the term teacher burnout. With so many teachers fleeing the profession all together, it leaves those of us who are staying with a feeling of overwhelm. The last thing we want to hear an administrator say is “Practice self-care.” Self-care for teachers looks different for each individual. My goal with this blog post is to share what has worked for me.

Starting an online tutoring business revolutionized the way I look at money. Before I started tutoring, I was dealing with teacher burnout and I wasn’t even sure I wanted to continue down the path of being an elementary school teacher.
