For anyone who is committed and ready to start an online tutoring business, now is the time. At this point, parents are desperately seeking tutors and would love a chance to see what online tutoring is all about.
I recommend you offer a free demonstration to show parents what online tutoring is. You can use mine at
www.TutorFi.com/demo.asf or you can create your own with
http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp software. They have a free trial that lets you record your screen and you can speak to record your voice.
If you don't have you online tutoring software yet, I recommend starting with
www.skype.com and
www.vyew.com.
After you introduce a parent to your online tutoring system, you must make an iirresistible offer. For 4 years, I offered a 1 hour online tutoring session for $35 along with close to $300 worth of free bonuses. The bonuses were simple documents I created in pdf format.
One was the Self Study Skills Evaluation and the other was the Straight A Strategy report. The phone consultation and initial assessment all totaled a value of $296 and I even offered a money back guarantee.
It's so easy to get clients if you use this approach. After your first session, the parents will be asking you about monthly accounts.
If you have questions, please post them.
