In this Online Teacher Talk Tuesday (11/9 at 11 am CST), I’m opening up the floor to talk through the real stuff that affects us as online teachers—especially the platform changes and the “what now?” questions that come up when companies shift policies or roll out new programs. The big topics on the table are Magic Ears, advertising as an online teacher, VIPKID Global, and Cambly, plus anything else you bring to the conversation. This kind of live chat is where I like to break down what’s happening across platforms, what I’m watching for, and how I think about protecting my income when things feel uncertain. We’ll also talk about visibility and marketing—because if you’re trying to grow bookings or enrollments, you can’t always rely on a platform to do it for you. If you’re teaching from home and trying to make this a sustainable side hustle (or full-time plan), this session is meant to help you think strategically, stay flexible, and make decisions based on what fits your goals.
