I co own a tutoring business in NYC and lately it’s been hard to get clients for Zoom sessions. Any suggestions on how to gain more prospects?

My sons highschool offers free tutoring. My guess is the school has a contract. Why not approach schools or the district to offer them an advantage to get a contract with your company. With zoom you might have to limit yourself to NY

That’s something we are looking into. I am fine with it being just New York as that is a large market. Thanks!

Do you have a website? Any sort of digital marketing?

We have 2 websites. One that is professionally done, but under construction and the other that I did myself using Google Sites. As far as digital marketing, I’ve done campaigns on YouTube, Facebook, Google, and Twitter but found that they generated more visibility, not leads.

I’ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. It’s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away. I’ve been at other studios that only give you Christmas Eve & Day and New Years Eve & Day and then the rest is up to you to request for PTO and this is obviously the suck.

Wonder what it’s like for you?

Why doesn’t Visa use collaborative tools like Slack and Google Workspace? I’m guessing it’s not a budget issue.

Hi all,
I have a small creative agency that I have built over the last 4 years. It’s been a rollercoaster when it comes to revenue, making it hard to predict finances & pay myself consistently. This year has been particularly financially stressful.

The thought of closing hurts my heart and my pride and can feel like wasted time. But financial stability vs time freedom is rough.

I also recently got a full-time job offer for $200k base with excellent benefits. It’s tempting. What would you do?
