VipKid 100th Class update...is it worth it?

5/30/17

And sometimes I teach as a Unicorn!

As of today I've taught 100 classes (just in the month of May)!! So is it worth it? I will say yes! I'm doing this part time (in addition to a full time job, and another part time job as an adjunct faculty at a University). So, had I been focusing on this full time and opening up more time slots, I could have made more money in May and taught even more classes.

Now, the money! WITHOUT incentives factored in, my totals today, for the 100 classes are $745.50. I still have two more days of teaching in the month, then the incentives to add in, so I anticipate being around $1000 for May...for PART TIME work! I didn't book classes for a couple of weekends, for various reasons (if I had my numbers would be even higher!)

Some other numbers for the month, I now have 32 "followers", several "regulars" that are very consistent in booking each week (some multiple times/week). The first few weeks of teaching I had mostly Trial Classes, but now I have mostly Master Classes, in fact I barely had any Trial Classes for the month of May!

If you're interested in more information I'm happy to answer questions, if you think this might be something that would interest you, you can apply HERE

Requirements:

  • Bachelors Degree (in anything)
  • Internet
  • Teaching experience (this doesn't have to be formal, get creative! Worked at a camp? This is teaching! Babysat? This is teaching! Homeschooled? This is teaching! Raised kids...this is teaching!)
  • Happy, positive, high energy!

    I do have a question about the recorded demo. Should I go straight into teaching or introduce myself like I'm in an interview at first? Do you have any input on that?

      When I did it we didn't have the option to record our demo, so I would start like you're starting a class with a new student, do a quick introduction, but with minimal language, my name is..., perhaps "what is your name" but even that might be too much.

My daith piercing experience (pain, after care, recommendations)

Image
4/17/16 So a few days ago I got my daith pierced (4/13 actually). I had done a bit of research on it. Honestly just trying to figure out if this was going to be a breeze or the mother bitch of all piercings. I have several piercings but since my mom reads my blog I won't to into all those details here (you're welcome mom!). From what I read it sounded like it would be a breeze, similar to nose, which honestly I didn't feel until they put the jewelry in. Lies. Complete bullshit in fact. I will say that with a caveat, I think it completely depends on your anatomy, which in turn impacts how slowly or quickly the piercer can ram that piercing rod through there. I was a lucky little winner of the bad anatomy game apparently because as soon as I sat down and he started drawing he said "I'm going to have to go slow and you can't move" to which my response was "sweet Jesus please go as fast as possible". He did not. But I also understand that he need...

Hiking Hawaii (on acompressed schedule); Makapu'u Lighthouse, Manoa Falls, Waimea Falls, Dole Plantation

Image
6/22/19 With only one weekend for fun stuff and exploring while in Hawaii on a business trip, I knew that I had to make the most of my very limited time. There was no doubt that hiking would be a major part of those plans! I had intended on waking up around 4:30 am and heading to Koko Crater to kick the day off, but a week full of battling jet lag finally caught me and sleep won in the end. Hike 1: Makapu'u Lighthouse Trail Starting a little later than planned (6:30am) I headed off to a my first destination, Makapu'u Lighthouse Trail. The drive from Waikiki to the light house was beautiful, along the coast, with several scenic stop offs that I took full advantage of, putting me even further behind schedule but with some added in Hawaii experiences too! This park opens at 7am (something I hadn't previously known) Makapu'u Trail is completely paved the entire way up. I wore my hiking shoes but would have been very happy doing it in my Chacos. It's a pretty steep inc...

Bali Day 11: A Balinese FULL Body Massage, Nature, and What I've Google'd Today

Image
12/26/17 Things I’ve googled today: is there arranged marriage in Bali Which then led to a very intriguing read about polygamy and how in certain areas in Indonesia it exists but usually only in the very poor, and the very rich (like high government officials and religious personnel) kind of makes you raise an eyebrow if it’s ok for the super well to do, but then viewed differently when the very poor do it. A status symbol for the rich men to take many wives. And a survival or barbaric and primal existence for those of a lower class. So interesting. I've also googled: How do American's buy property in Bali. Come to find out you can't technically have property in your name in Bali but there are 3 different and common workarounds to getting your dream villa. Yes I seriously need to know how to buy a villa. Like yesterday Sapiosexual, and a million other fill in the blank with sexual at the end words that people use on Tinder. Let's be honest I need to know what I...
