How can I find online students for my ELT/ESL Freelance business without using Preply?

Maybe you’ve realised that working for a platform like Preply isn’t a great strategy for earning decent money. As someone commented on my previous video about Preply, ‘ Is there any way to earn more than I could go get at Walmart from teaching online realistically? This is starting to seem like a sad joke.’

You absolutely CAN earn quite a bit more than you would get at Walmart, but it will mean finding your own online students, which can feel very daunting.

If you’re wondering, how can I find my own online students, without using Preply or another platform, I’ve got three steps you need to take, which I go through in this video.

It’s not a quick fix, because getting consistent well-paying clients is about learning how to market your services effectively, but if you see it as an investment in your future, rather than being stuck earning minimum wage, it’s well worth the effort.
