Last week, I spent 2.5 hours answering questions about how to grow and thrive during the current global pandemic.
So, if you have questions…. I have answers.
Here are the questions I answered in the first stream:
- Opening remarks about the most dangerous part of the pandemic for your business
- (12:45) What should I use for online group lessons or private lessons in my studio? What are some resources I can find on this topic?
- (15:35) Do you recommend a camera setup that shows my full body at the piano or just a face view to give instructions? What is the best way to set up a camera for online piano lessons? How can I get the camera to show my fingers and keys?
- (17:26) How do teachers address the issue of lag time with online lessons?
- (22:16) EXTREMELY VALUABLE ADVICE HERE! What if parents want to pull out of lessons and/or not pay?
- (28:10) Regarding the functions of Zoom – how do breakout rooms work? How do you set them up? How many accounts would a larger academy need?
- (31:15) FREE MARKETING PLAN GIVEN HERE! How can I approach families who are unsure about online lessons and encourage them to make the switch?
- (44:46) Is it wise to jump into online lessons ASAP or wait a week to get it right?
- (46:18) How do I retain my students during this time?
- (58:22) What should my funnel of emails look like? I would love to know more about how to write a funnel for prospective students during this time.
- (58:29) What are your thoughts on email marketing software (like Active Campaign or Aweber or Getresponse or Mailchimp) and could you use it as a landing page for building a new program fairly quickly?
- (1:01:06) What are the best ways to receive digital payments for my studio?
- (1:02:28) How do I find students interested in online lessons? How can I recruit online students while we’re all essentially under quarantine? And where are the students who want group lessons? What attracts them?
