152: Advice For New Teachers PART TWO (The Business Stuff)
In episode 148, I collected all my best advice for new teachers. The episode centered around the idea that the most important thing new teachers can do is start teaching and figure out what kind of teacher they want to be.
But once you’ve started that process, there are some important business foundations you want to have in place so you have solid ground upon which to build. This episode (152) is a deep dive into those business fundamentals, including lots of recommendations for specific software.
If you are a new teacher or an experienced teacher without an online presence, this episode is a must-listen!
In this episode, you’ll hear:
why you don’t need to worry about social right now
why you do need liability insurance, but not necessarily an LLC
my recommendations for online booking for 1x1 sessions
the software options to have students register for group classes
where to host your email list, and why you need one
options for website builders
