I'm Annie Malcolm, and I joined this community mainly because of the informed friendliness of the videos I've seen which drew me in! My business goals for the next 30 days are to clarify my ideas around my proposed courses and to take a decision about which website builder to go with. I'm looking for help mostly with techie stuff but also the collegiate support I miss from when I used to teach with other like-minded teachers.

Hi! Quick question. Does the 5in30 offer have to be free? I understand why you suggest doing it for free, however, my intention was to give it to the 7 people in my membership for free (and ask for feedback) and offer it at a beta price (- 25-50%???) to the wider world in exchange for feedback. The course will be a gateway into my membership (includes 1 month's access with the hope they'll stay on - price of this is 12 euros a month) and not high ticket so a beta price would be low, 19 euros 🤔... I'm a bit tired of offering free stuff and paying to work 🤣 I need to start at least covering my costs 4 years in 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I've also had people in the past not sign up for free because they feel bad. And those that do are less invested as they didn't pay. Thanks! @Michael Landry @Andrew Woodbury @Leonardo Gomes

Can you join us on May 8 for our webinar with Tim Warre? He'll be talking about establishing Atomic Classroom Habits. When: Wednesday May 8 Time: 12PM Toronot/6PM Spain Where: Zoom - register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcsfuusrT4qGtFYVJrE-fK7rBkyk7_V9aDv#/registration Do you have questions for Tim ahead of the session? Or on atomic classroom habits? Add them below and we can start the conversation. Hope to see you there! Here's a quick session description: There’s usually at least one or two in every class. Those students whose writing assignments you look forward to correcting, the ones who revise their notes, make use of every extra tool or link you share with them and obviously consume English content for pleasure in their free time. How can we help the rest of the class take a leaf out of these students’ books? In James Clear’s 2018 book “Atomic Habits” the writer discusses the power of making small 1% improvements to our daily habits and how these incremental changes can have long-lasting compounding effects. This talk will look at ways we can apply this principle and theories of habit formation in general to a classroom setting. Attendees will leave this talk with practical ideas and tweaks they can make in their own classes, as well as a longer-term framework for putting their students on a path to more effective and rewarding language acquisition.

These are 4 of many niches we see in the ESL world. And they're all wrong. Not because each has a flaw, but because they really don't give enough information to judge. If you've followed us for a while, you know we don't advocate "choosing" a niche. It's not like going shopping. Rather, we recommend "creating" your own niche. And this is because your success of selling what you offer depends not on what niche you work in, but more so on the deeper elements of that niche. We'll explore these in our live this Wednesday, April 24. Takeaways: - You'll know the criteria of a superficial niche - You'll know what you need to uncover to know what your prospects actually want - You'll be able to turn that into what you sell (hint: it's not about language) Hope you can join us!

It's been a while since I've been here. Life got busy! But I just wanted to share some recent wins. I'm on track with some goals I set for myself as a result of some of the courses on here. I've resigned from my job and will finish there at the end of June. I have also left the underpaying TEFL platform I was using. My list of contacts is growing and I've managed to successfully receive payments from China. I even increased my price. Looking forward to being able to take on more private students from July onwards and make this my main source of income rather than just a sideline. I hope everyone is also enjoying some wins and keeping on track. Anyone else want to share some of their wins?
