Whether you are looking
to take on some new students or would just like
a web presence for your teaching business, FindMeATeacher.com
is the answer…
As a teacher, why should I list myself on FindMeATeacher.com?
| - |
The internet
has today become the #1 resource for people
when searching for information, goods or
services. Every business needs a web presence,
however big or small it may be. |
| - |
Higher site traffic
due to the broad range of teaching fields
and country options offered on our site. |
| - |
Students do not have
to sign up to our site in order to conduct
a search. Leaving details is optional. This
makes the site less formal for students. |
| - |
By charging teachers
a small membership fee, we are able to more
effectively advertise this site and make
regular updates to ensure the site is as
easy to use as possible. It also means the
teachers listed on our site are recent and
still in business, unlike listings in free
directories that can be years old. |
| - |
You receive your very
own Profile page/web presence. |
| - |
24/7 password protected
access to your details allowing you to update
or correct your details at any time. This
means the information on our site is always
as up to date and accurate as possible. |
| - |
This site has been
designed with students in mind. Ease of
use and accuracy of content results in repeat
visits by students. |
| - |
Students are able to
contact teachers directly via an online
contact form or by phone. They are NOT required
to contact us first or submit their details
to us at any stage. |
| - |
You gain access to
the Teachers Lounge; this password protected
area is for registered teachers only. Discuss
your problems or ideas with other teachers
in the online forums, submit details of
an upcoming/workshop or camp for students
to view, update/edit your details, browse
our discounts page that lists businesses
offering discounts on such things as music/sports/yoga
equipment – these discounts are only
available to our registered teachers. |
Advantages over FREE
directory listings:
There are many different online directories that
offer FREE memberships to their users. Unfortunately
as a result majority of these directories do not
have the time and money to spend on advertising,
promoting and maintaining their directory content.
Another big problem with free directories is users
submitting their details more than once to achieve
more exposure. This can deter people from using
or returning to the site as it can become very
difficult to sort through the information and
find exactly what you are looking for.
With a paid listing this problem
is significantly reduced allowing all users equal
amount of exposure and providing visitors to the
site with only the most relevant and up-to-date
information. A site with trusted content will
ultimately achieve more return visitors.
At Find Me A Teacher.com we feel
that by charging teachers a small fee we are more
effectively able to promote the website and the
teachers on it, as well as making site updates
to keep the site ‘fresh’ and give
visitors a reason to return. It also allows us
to keep our site free from banner advertising.
We have tried to keep the membership costs to
a minimum and believe that in most cases, if a
teacher picks up one or two new students from
our site over the period of their membership,
then the money spent on this site will have already
paid for itself.
Unlike other online teacher directories
that focus on one field of teaching, be it yoga,
music, or dance, FindMeATeacher.com attracts students
of all types. This is an advantage for our teachers
because for example: a student looking for music
lessons on our site may come across yoga and decide
they would like to try a yoga lesson as well.
This cross promotion helps all our teachers gain
more exposure.
Advertising and Promotion:
Unlike free directories, FindMeATeacher.com is
advertised both online and in various Printed
media. We are constantly trying to achieve the
best Search Engine rankings possible and are always
looking for new and better ways to promote the
site and the teachers on it. By being listed on
FindMeATeacher.com you are joining a large group
of teachers, all with the same objectives and
need for exposure. The more teachers listed on
FindMeATeacher.com, the more advertising and promotion
we are able to do.
Own Profile Page/Web
Presence:
Upon signup, each teacher receives their very
own profile page that lists all their information
relevant to new students. This is also perfect
for private teachers who may not have their own
website – this provides them with a web
presence that they are more than welcome to use
for their own private use.
Be In Control..
Each teacher has unlimited 24/7 password-protected
access to their own profile page, allowing them
to update or edit their details at any time. This
provides teachers with a quick, easy and secure
way of maintaining their details and making sure
they are always up to date.
Ease of Use for Students:
Students are able to quickly and easily locate
teachers based on their interests and location.
We have also made it easier for students to find
teachers located outside the major cities but
still within traveling distance.
Once a student is interested in contacting a teacher
they have found on FindMeATeacher.com, it is as
simple as either phoning or sending a contact
form to the relevant teacher. We put the students
directly in contact with you. Best of all, we
do not charge students to use this service!
Students and Teachers also have the option of
arranging a time to meet in our online chat room
to further discuss the possibility of lessons
with one another.
