OnlineBound Podcast #23
Lindsay Williams on changing your mindset when you teach online.
June 16, 2022
In this episode I’m speaking with Lindsay Williams about changing her mindset from a local language teacher to an online teacher to an online entrepreneur. Listen in to learn the story of Lindsay’s first course launch and her initial struggles with marketing.
We discuss why online language teachers find marketing most challenging, how teachers’ altruistic nature, coupled with highly commoditized industry of language teaching, prevents them from making their businesses sustainable.
Lindsay shares her insights on finding the balance between sharing our work for free vs. charging money for it. And don’t miss her helpful tips on how to go through global and personal changes when you work online.
