What are you collecting people's email addresses for then? What is the 15 minute telephone conversation for? Just feel like helping people out?
Everything you are doing is internet marketing 101. You seem to have some idea what you are doing (that's a compliment).
But, you have to have an angle. There's no other reason you would be going to all the effort.
I don't think making Youtube videos is going to make you a lot of money. But, using Youtube to sell (recruiting? travel packages?) might make sense.
The way you have set your marketing up would be perfect for a recruiter. So, I still think you are a recruiter.
At the very least, that email list you are building, would be very very valuable to recruiters, schools, TESOL cert programs. You could easily sell advertising in your news letter.
ESL teachers have a lot of disposable income. They are a good target if you can think of something to sell them.
Good luck OP. Really you are just savvy and realize that Daves isn't going to be smart enough to figure you out and take down your posts. |

3) I'll judge an American or a Canadian just as harshly for spending every vacation in Cancun or the Bahamas. I'll judge a Brit just as harshly for visiting Greek party islands. I'll judge an Aussie if they go to Kuta every year. I'm not saying that you shouldn't go to the beach, I'm just saying that you should have some imagination. Those vacations made sense twenty years ago when information was more dear, but you have an essentially infinite amount of free information at your fingertips, use it. You're out of uni, why are you still going on spring break? Essentially, time is precious: don't waste it.

Ok, but you said people shouldn't go to the "tropics" every vacation. I'm confused whether you're judging people for enjoying their vacation, or judging them for where they enjoy their vacation. Either way I think it's a bit condescending, but I would like clarification. I mean, you could go to Tokyo but more people visit there than Boracay so which one is more off the beaten path?
The thing is, especially if you're a hogwan teacher, it's hard to get to some of those out of the way places if you only have a week at a time, plus it can be much more expensive. It's just usually cheaper/quicker/simpler to get to a place like Boracay. I've never been, but I did go to Phuket one time because of my time constraints and it just worked out easier. Now that I have more time and money I go to more isolated locales, but I certainly don't judge anyone for where they decide to spend their free time. Who am I do to that? It's their life. Same with North America. Where are people supposed to go for a week? "Oh, I live in Toronto and have a week off in February. I should go to...Chicago in February? Vancouver? Halifax? Or, you know, some place warm and probably way cheaper?" Not everyone has a month off at a time and thousands of dollars to spend. Besides the Caribbean, where else can North Americans go to escape the cold? Europe? Well, that's farther away and much more expensive. Plus, some people just want to relax on vacation. Going to Paris or Rome or London is awesome, but it's 'traveling' not a 'vacation'.
Anyway, I've probably said enough on this subject. |
Go to the sunshine state, Florida--problem solved.

Yeah, I'm sure he will be making boat loads of money from someone wanting to hire him w/ 500 hits on a youtube video, I've had more hits videotaping my cat sleeping on the damn chair on the veranda. I posed that here too. Quick, call the cops!
seriously..  |
