Feature rich online coaching web app in just 5 working days

Teachers/coaches who chooses online training as their long-term profession.

There are several reasons for the same. Here’s sharing some handful reasons –

1. When you are on a paid subscription in teacher’s listing web portal to showcase/sell your service, you are definitely strengthening the authority of the portal. Its mutually benefitted; you are contributing to strengthen their brand and also getting quick exposure to potential students. No matter how many years you are paying them for the service to showcase your portfolio, courses and credentials, the month you stop paying your subscription, you seize to exist in the digital world, neither Google nor any potential student can find you.With self-owned website, your course/s are always available in the digital world. Even if you take a short break, your services are accessible by search engines, you never disappear. The longer your services are available in the web, the more trust you earn by search engines. Please note – website hosting rentals are economical too.
2. When you rely on the third-party portals to sell your services, you are dependent on them. They may increase their subscription rates; they may change the listing algorithm. They may even shut down someday. The situation is synonyms to living in a rented house/apartment. Rented place is good for short term right.

Definitely yes! One thing you should know is organic growth doesn’t happen overnight. It’s more like building a home, brick by brick. Similarly, you earn student’s trust by providing free access to useful content. Write articles/blog posts in your site. If you are successful in providing good solution/tips, students will find you. Make a note, these articles are one-time investment at your end.

Example: If you are finance teacher and own your PTMA web app. You would list out your courses on ‘Shares’, ‘Futures and Options’ etc. You have two ways to promote your course/s – through ‘paid ads’/’organically’. Paid ads give quicker results but gets extremely heavy on pocket. Growing organically is slow, it’s more of ‘time spent’ than cash. Organic promotions will surely yield good result if you faithfully and creatively create genuine content, post it in your website and other channels like Social media handles and YouTube. The quality of content you create; creates your brand. If your content adds value, you earn a loyal student. They will surely revisit your articles and may also enroll for your course/s.

You can grow organically by providing useful tips to your present/potential student/s. Write articles in your site explaining the tips you are sharing. Create videos and post them on YouTube and link back to your site, to your course/s. Make your posts fun and interesting. Be clear on who you are conveying your message to.

If you are a shy person, you will surely create 100 genuine reasons to avoid promoting yourself organically.
One simple example – “oh my! Seeing my video/article, wouldn’t my uncle’s friend’s nephew’s classmate judge me and what if they don’t like it”.

Well, note the point – None of them are your target audience. If growth is your sheer objective, create good content/article/posts and attract your target students. That’s all what matters.

Your brand and services get stronger if you are able to attract more visitors who choose to stay in your site and go through your entire article.

Your visitor’s behaviour is monitored by search engines and it lists you accordingly.

No, I wouldn’t suggest you to leave initially. Both, teaching through other portals and adding courses/blog articles in your site/social media handles should run in parallel.

Share information about your interesting/relevant courses listed in your website with your students. This way, you can nudge your students to enroll to interesting course/s in your website. If your course/s add value to them, they will definitely refer you to other students.

This is just one tip to build your student base. You can stay creative and experiment many other ideas. Once you are self sufficient, you can let go of other portals.

No. This ready to use tool is economical and will be deployed to your site in a week’s time.

More the merrier! If you have friends and colleagues who are also interested in online teaching (doesn’t matter which subject). They can join your website as instructors. They can create their courses, write articles on the site. This activity will surely strengthen the credibility of your site. Which will lead to more content, more inflow of students, more converts and eventually you can be one of Google’s fav too.
