I know I promised another video today, but I wasn’t able to make one. I will make one later this week and put it into the membership site. Details on joining that can be found here –
Finding Friends that Matter
One of the things you want to get is relavent followers that could benefit from your services. You should think about:
Location – if you just tutor locally then you’ll want to find local folks to follow you.
Subject – if you tutor only one subject / grade level – again you’ll want to focus on those as well.
Here are some ways to do just that –
1. Announce it to your current social media followers. Tell the people that follow you on facebook, twitter, send a note to your newsletter subscribers, and make a post on your blog.
2. Follow local media outlets – you should already be following these on Facebook (and joining in their conversations), check to see if they have a Pinterest account.
3. Follow local businesses – again you should be following them, check and see if they have a Pinterest account. This could include things like your library, book store, office supply store, and other tutor friends you have.
Creating Good Content
1. Pictures sell – you want good pictures to go on your Pinterest page.
2. Think of questions you get all of the time – then create some images related to it. An example subject would be “Five Ways to Study for a Math Test”. Then work on creating some images / text for the five ways… then put them all together. Certainly this will take some time and patience.

3. Use inspirational quotes that you like.
4. Repin good stuff you think your customers would like / be able to use.
