  • Replace Your Teaching Salary Online This Year

    Replace Your Teaching Salary Online This Year
    Feb 12 2025
    I didn’t *actually make my teaching salary online in less than 1 year. I guess I should start by being completely transparent. It took me 3 years to earn my teaching salary because I had no one - and I mean no one to help me. I was googling questions that weren’t even answered yet. I was watching thousands of hours of YouTube videos and reading SEO for dummies. I was trying my best but it was a slowish go. But that DOESN’T have to be YOU! Why?! Because we are no longer going alone, blazing a trail into the ether. Nope, we are now growing alongside a community as you fast-track the learning! Enter the CEO Teacher® Community An engaged community of vibrant educators (in and out of the classroom) who are continually growing and thriving while creating their own teacher businesses. They continue finding their own version of freedom using the online space to grow their teacher salary. They are what saved my sanity, and my belief in teachers being good humans, plus sparked my creativity again. In this episode, you will learn: 4 Steps To Replace Your Teaching Salary Online How To Find What’s Needed In The Online Space When To Fix Your Mind And Sights On The Prize Why You Should Track Important Metrics To Stay On Target The Main Reason To Follow A Step-by-step Plan Of Someone Who’s Gone Before You Links Mentioned in this Episode about replacing your teaching salary: Start or Expand Your Teacher Business in 2025 kaysemorris.com/videos Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones CEO Teacher® Resources Worth Their Weight in Gold You're already a wealth of knowledge!

    Save Time; Use Pinterest
    Feb 5 2025
    Let’s chat about the Pinterest Marketing Plan Framework. You have heard all of the big marketing terms before (ideal customer, SEO, quality content, even CTA) - what you may not know is how to apply them to Pinterest. The first thing we need to note is that Pinterest is a visual search engine, similar to the LTKW-based search engine of Google and the audio-based version of YouTube. Pinterest is not a social media platform, and that is good news for you! It means that your content can be seen for years to come (evergreen), when done right, versus the short, hours-long life span of a social media post. Let’s get into how to use Pinterest to market our brand, gain awareness for our content, and ultimately increase sales. Pinterest helps you tell a visual story about your brand It’s a visual search engine and arguably the favorite of teachers, creative marketers, educational sellers, artists, and creatives Pins are evergreen- which means they keep circulating day after day, year after year Links Mentioned in this Episode about Pinterest Marketing: Start or Expand Your Teacher Business in 2025 CEO Teacher Pinterest CEO Teacher® Resources Worth Their Weight in Gold You're already a wealth of knowledge!
