Very clever – I really see the use for this…Eliza Jane Fyfe I am sure you can see the application of this too:)

Am I right in my understanding that it is a way of connecting and integrating Google Calendar to Google Sheets?:)

Yes, Gumtree is certainly a place where you can promote yourself as a music teacher forming a nice income stream of students. In addition I would really recommend introducing yourself in local music shops and really getting to know the staff, as well as connecting with other music teachers locally – word of mouth enquiries really still count for a lot of teachers enquiry streams. If a teacher cannot take a student on they might be happy to point them in your direction – especially if you specialise in a specific area of piano tuition. Becoming involved in such a community also means that you can direct students who might be more suitable with another tutor over to them – keeping both students and teachers happy. Hope this helps:) my biggest advice would be to introduce yourself to the people in your local music tuition community, great place to get the ball rolling & also met some really interesting people along the way!

Gail Bater is this something that you might be able to advise on?:)

Hey Mark,

Great post – I know a few teachers are starting to move towards provide supplementary video content alongside their tuition. Like Tom Jackson in Ipswich (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oVQ5Hk_GAs) and Paul Crame in Norwich (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8sAQPuvIO4).

Indeed, so much so that I am starting to develop platforms for teachers who do create online content, either for their own students or for the online community, to have a sales page to push their viewers to. Essentially the idea would be to get the free content viewers to click through from YouTube onto the sales page, where they complete an action (sign up for a free webinar, sign up to gain more content etc.). From there they are presented with a freemium model and a premium model of X, so whether that is free group webinars basically advertising to entice students to come for paid 1-2-1 Skype lessons, or free content with more content unlocked with the premium package etc. Just in the ideas stage at the moment – but really interesting that you brought it up.

Would you ever consider making videos for a wider audience, if we were able to design a sales process where there was a direct financial outcome for doing so?
