I’m going to link this information about Pinterest promoted ads. I received it in my email today. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE POWER OF THE PINTEREST PROMOTED PIN! It is my favorite way to promote. I will say that I already had a pretty active Pinterest account before I learned of the power of promotion. If you would like to collaborate on a Pinterest board leave me a comment.

Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency, & Educators
I am the last person who should be teaching anyone ANYTHING about cryptocurrency.
My brother has been my tutor regarding getting started so I am not an expert. I do enjoy watching YouTube videos about which coins are worth investing in but at the end of the day, you are responsible for your own money. You do your own homework.
With dreams of grandeur I jumped on the cryptocurrency train. I have watched several YouTube videos and only really have a surface level understanding of what exactly this could mean financially. However, the one thing that has been made perfectly clear is this is a gamble and don’t put in more money than you can lose. With that understanding I have jumped on the crypto train.
Since this is an venture of the blind leading the blind, if you would like to get started with Bitcoin use my link here:
Once you buy or sell $100 of digital currency or more, you and I will both get $10 of free Bitcoin.
So far, I haven’t lost all my money, so that is a plus. The negative is I haven’t really made money either. I’m open to advice as the whole point of this is to make money. How do you feel about this whole cryptocurrency thing? Leave your comments below.
I’ll leave some video’s that I enjoy.

Don’t you hate these type of headlines. If I bother to read these things I usually don’t make a thing except a beeline to that search box to read something else.
What I’ve learned to realize is a lot of these people are full of it. They want to sell you something. I’m not trying to sell you a thing. I just want you to get paid because in the words of the prolific DJ Quik, If it don’t make dollars it don’t make sense.
10. eBay
Now before you roll your eyes and tell me you already know this here me out. I’m sure you know that you can sell your old stuff on eBay but did you know that you can sell services too? If you are talented in graphic design, copywriting, or some other type of service, post it on eBay for buy it now pricing.

VIPKID, Unfiltered, Unprocessed, and Raw
By now you probably have heard about VIPKID! The concept is simple enough, North American teachers who teach children in China the English language. Although I am a contracted employee with them, I don’t exactly drink the VIPKID “Kool-Aid” so I have no problem giving you my unfiltered opinion.
First things first, I do not believe VIPKID is some type of pyramid scheme or shiesty company. With that being stated, they do usually offer a small incentive if you refer someone who becomes a teacher added to the VIPKID teaching pool. This can create spammy like behavior among some of the contracted employees (I’ll get to the contracted employee part later) leaving their referral codes everywhere.
You must create a short video introducing yourself and have a short bio. Having great, clear photos is pretty important too. You are selling yourself and your expertise, which leads to another thing . . .
As a POC (Person of Color) I feel that VIPKID is pretty fair in their hiring practices However it might not be easy to get fully booked if you don’t fit the Chinese ideal of American. It has been noted on several Facebook post in VIPKID groups that some people are fully booked the day they get started while others take a little longer. Usually, the fully booked on day one people aren’t the most experienced but young, cute, and non-minority.
A good way to fast track your bookings is to literally stay up all night (I’m on EST, so that is a twelve hour difference from China) and build your clientele that way. I have done that a total of zero times! Although I have heard of that being a fast track way for bookings, I had no desire to do that. VIPKID is a side hustle for me, I am currently teaching full and I am the mother of five year old twins. I already don’t get enough sleep as is.
I grew my small clientele organically. My small group of regulars have kept me busy last month. July was an especially slow month but I was booked weekly. Not fully booked, but booked.
My experience with VIPKID has been great. There is still a lot that VIPKID needs to work out between with their contracted employees (you are a teacher until a problem arises, then you are a contracted employee). Definitely become familiar with their teacher cancellation policy as you are only allowed a certain number (I think it is six) during your contract. It will be grounds for dismissal if you go over the number. There is no sick leave so if you cancel because of illness, this will count toward one of the six cancellations.
With all this being said, if you are still interested in VIPKID I will leave a link with my referral ID below:
