Three ways to build your own Teaching Business:
1. Let more and more students find you
Internet has revolutionized how people find other people, and many students now
look for teachers on the Internet. Millions of students around the world search on Google
and other websites with keywords like 'GMAT teacher in San Fransisco', 'Math tutor
in Fresno' or 'Organic Chemistry teacher'. Their search will find them teachers
with presence on the Internet and they will contact them for their learning needs.
Hence, you need a robust presence on the Web, for learners from around the world
to find you. WiZiQ has just the solution for you - Teaching Profile. Best of all,
its absolutely free to have one, and you can create one, no matter what your qualifications
and where in the world you are.
Create your Teacher Profile on WiZiQ with information like:
- The subjects you teach
- Your educational qualification
- Teaching and/ or professional experience
- Do you teach online or in person or both
- How much you charge for teaching and more
You can edit your profile and we recommend that you keep it up-to-date. A good teacher
profile would feature in search results when someone searches for a teacher on Google or other search
engines or WiZiQ. The learners visiting your profile on WiZiQ can contact you with
a simple click of a button of "Send Message". Some of these queries could lead to
actual business for you. Here is a quick summary on the power of your teaching profile.

2. Directly reach learners and students who need help in what you teach
Learning Requests, is a revolutionary tool developed by WiZiQ, for teachers who want
to proactively look for students, rather than wait for them to be contacted. Many
students contact WiZiQ, telling us about their learning needs. These students either
do not have the time to search a teacher or the teachers they contact are busy with
other learners. You can find out about these students and work out details like
price, schedule, course modules etc. Teachers from any country and region can accept
these Learning Requests. Here is how it works:
Learners let us know what they want to learn (and details like their qualification,
first language etc.) - we call these 'Learning Requests' or LR.
As a teacher, you can look at the LR, search for the right LR based on information
provided by the learner like area of study, geographic location etc.
You can accept the LR that you like - we pass on your contact information such as
e-mail, phone etc. to the learner and also give you the learner's contact information.
Note: To contact the learners who leave behind a learning request, you need to be a premium member of WiZiQ which you can do for $49.95 each year. You can contact 10 learners once you upgrade to premium. If you would like to contact more learners, you can do that by buying additional packages.

3. Conduct Online Classes and Get Paid
Paid Online Classes help you get exposure and get featured in the WiZiQ marketplace. All you have to
do is conduct your online class, in the topics of your expertise and get paid directly.
Once you set up a paid online class, it gets listed in the WiZiQ marketplace of
online classes. For any learner who buys your class, you get a majority share of the class fee.
We actively promote such classes on WiZiQ as well as all around the Internet. You
can conduct these classes using the WiZiQ Virtual Classroom no matter which country
in the world you are from. Paid public classes can work out for you because:
1. These classes are actively promoted and marketed : you reach learners across
the world.
2. WiZiQ handles all payments : you concentrate on teaching and making your class
great for the learners.
3. All you need is an Internet connection to conduct online class : it is convenient, easy and fun to do.
4. Teachers keep the majority share of the revenue i.e. 75% [if a non-contact buys your class] or 95% [if a contact buys your class]. What's more, till December 31, 2009, this share would be 95% even if a non-contact buys your class.
Note: To conduct paid classes, you need to be a premium member
of WiZiQ which you can do for $49.95 each year.
