In this video, I’m talking about something that honestly surprises a lot of new teachers in 2025: VIPKid bookings can start flowing in fast. I’m walking you through a brand-new teacher’s “first day” reality—getting that first booking just one day after being hired and then seeing more classes stack up. If you’ve been sitting there refreshing your schedule wondering if anyone will ever click “book,” this is the kind of example that can calm your nerves and remind you that momentum can happen quickly. I also connect this to the bigger picture of online teaching as a work-from-home option. I’m not just a VIPKid person—I teach across platforms (VIPKid, Outschool, Koala Go, Zoom, and more), and I’m always looking at what helps teachers get hired, get bookings, and actually thrive. If you’re brand new, my takeaway is simple: don’t assume slow bookings means you did something wrong—focus on getting set up, staying consistent, and keeping options open across platforms so you’re not relying on one single stream of income.
