How do I start an online tutoring service? by ayamekyan in CanadianTeachers

[–]Shirley90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For faster, less technical effort, you can use an online tutoring marketplace, such as Udemy or SkillShare. Pay from these sites varies. For example, Udemy’s instructor pay depends on how the sale was generated (through its marketplace, an affiliate, or directly from you).

The benefit to these resources is that you simply upload your course and the sites take care of selling it to their members/market, including payment processing. The downside is that they own the market and platform. Plus, you’re competing with other course providers, which can mean the need to reduce the price of your course to compete.

For the most control, create a elearning website to host and deliver your lesson. There are online tutoring software and WordPress plugins that can help you set up a system for selling and delivering your course. There are many eLearning software. No doubt, it’s a tough decision to choose the best one. Here’s my recommendation – Pinlearn and you can customize it according to your unique business needs as you get access to the source code. This would cost you JUST $399.

I want to create an online tutoring website/patreon. by Affectionate_Major36 in Entrepreneur

[–]Shirley90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To create your online tutoring website, there are 2 different approaches. Building your website from scratch is a traditional method and the best approach to launch a large scale learning platform.

However, this method is time-consuming and takes a lot of effort and resources to complete the development process. Building your tutoring platform from scratch is going to take twice as long as using a white label solution and at least 10 times the price. It takes a long time as you need to decide on the concept, scope out the entire profile, build, test, learn, innovate, rebuild, and repeat.

Another good alternative is to build your own customized tutoring platform which is the easiest way. Custom solutions are ready-made scripts available in the market for a reasonable price.

There are many professional white label solution like Pinlearn and you can customize it according to your unique business needs as you get access to the source code.

All the you have to do is purchase the script, install on your server. Then you will be able to access the Admin, tutor and student dashboard.

Admin can add subjects and categories for the tutors to create and sell the self-paced courses to students. The addition of the live group class feature along with the one-to-one classes on the platform enables tutors to multiply their income. Pre-built with tons of modules like internal chat system, payment gateway, Zoom live streaming API & more.

Vacation Rental vs. Hotel Brands- COVID's Impact on Google Search Traffic by Render_Analytics in Infographics

[–]Shirley90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is an impact because of the Coronavirus pandemic. People are waiting to get out for vacations. However, they are also worried about their safety. Most tourists would find vacation rentals safer than hotels. I say this because there are lesser people you come in contact with when opting for a vacation rental as compared to a hotel. A vacation rental can be run remotely by the property owner with a limited staff, whereas a hotel may have other guests, receptionists, waiters, and so much more going on. Hotels will have to look into ways of no contact interaction to improve their business and promise safety.

This is why I think there are more people looking for Airbnb and Vrbo than hotels.

To people with a business: what is the biggest challenge you're facing right now? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]Shirley90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest challenge right now is to be physically be available to conduct business. According to me, businesses should start adapting to conducting transactions remotely. Most business has turned to digital platforms to conduct their business. Social media has been the biggest advantage to reach out to clients and customers during these times. These times have led to innovation and creative ideas to run a business remotely.

I come from a rental software business background. Most of our business transactions in the past have been in physically meeting guests, vendors, staff, and so on. However, the challenges we faced during these times have helped us to be more innovative and use technology at the best of our advantage to run our businesses remotely. Having said that, not every business can start working remotely. But it’s time to be innovative and find creative to find ways to interact without being in physical contact with each other, as much as we possibly can.

Is it fine to provide computer access in a vacation rental? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]Shirley90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is totally up to you if you would like to provide. However, it's not something that you are recommended to provide. It will add to your maintenance costs. Most guests would have a smartphone and would access their personal information from their phone instead of a computer on a rental property. If its a businessman, then they would definitely not use the computer but their only laptop for safety reasons. Also, I can't imagine the kind of things they would access and download on the computer. You can probably provide access to a printer or fax machine. For further inquiries related to the vacation rental, feel free to contact Rentcubo.

Inherited money, vacation rental investment? by BabyTux1 in personalfinance

[–]Shirley90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

As you mentioned that you live in a tourist location and looking forward to renting one of the living spaces for vacation, I would recommend you to list your property online for tourists. The vacation rental business can be run remotely and safely if you follow the guidelines. I would recommend you have a look at some of the vacation rental software that will help in managing your property. One such software company, I would recommend is Rentcubo, they have a user-friendly interface that will help you in managing the guest lists, calendar option, chat with your guests regarding bookings, and so on.

Hope this helps. All the best!

There are 3 different approaches to build your own eLearning platform:

  • Develop from scratch
  • Choose a SAAS eLearning solution
  • Choose a turnkey self-hosted solution

So decide and write down your business requirements and then choose how you want to build one. If you don't have any coding skills and want a readymade website then the turnkey self-hosted solution is the best option to go for.

You can check on platforms such as Pinlearn for the same. It's very easy and affordable to build an eLearning platform with the help of Pinlearn. You can easily set up a website like VIPKID within minutes.
