Are You Paying Attention

If you are teaching on a platform, are you paying attention to the changes they are making?  One of the reasons I say online teachers need their own websites is because a platform can change their policies at any time. 

You should be prepared!

 

What would happen to your income if you didn’t get any enrollments?

What would happen if the platform you’re offering classes on sales their business?

What would happen if there was a policy change that you don’t agree with?

Would you be able to communicate with the individuals you have taught?

⚠️ Make sure you have your own website and email list!

This isn’t only if you offer classes on Outschool, but pay attention to:

Enrollments – This is why it’s important to view the stats. The enrollments, across the platform, aren’t just low for individual teachers; it’s low for the entire platform.  List your classes on multiple platforms.  The more visibility there is for your classes, the more known your business becomes.

Rebranding – Look who the new target audience is through the rebranding and understand why rebranding is necessary. Not just for the site, but for your business too. Do you know your audience?  How have they changed or grown?  What do they need from you?  Are you able to grow with them or are you remaining stagnant?

Increased pricing – Ask yourself why there was a push to increase price listings for classes. Have you increased yours?

Removal of financial aid – Read the newsletters and blogs. Outschool offered over $3 million in financial aid and will discontinue this program.  Are you offering discounts or giving out too many coupons?  What are your financial goals?  Are your freebies interfering with making income?  Are your coupons helping to retain families?

Layoffs – This isn’t just on Outschool. It’s happening across all industries. How does this impact your business?

Now is the time (it’s always been the time) to focus on the growth and development of your business whether you’re an individual teacher offering classes online or if you have an organization.
