Skype Lessons - How To

Posted 2 years ago by Andree-Ann

Hey all,

I was just wondering if any of you had any experience with Skype music lessons; how to advertise for them, how to find them...

I think it might be a great way to supplement an income and I would like to know if any of you actually gave lessons via Skype or any other kind of video messenger software. How do you advertise skype lessons? How can a student find a teacher via Skype?

Although it is not popular at all here in Canada, I have heard that people in the States are much more open to this concept and would like to get a bundle of information on the topic!

Thanks!

If you want to go the live lesson route, then I would suggest you start making free video lessons on youtube. Slowly but surely you will gain subscribers... depending on the quality of the lessons. How you get these "free subscribers" to turn into paid monthly lessons depends on your marketing skills. It will start with a really good website. The lessons will have to be top notch too as you are competing with a lot of others on video sites.

I will probably be doing a cruise in Nov.. Just wondering how much of a hassle it is to bring an amp of my own? Oh. I'm a guitar player. I know the ships provide amps but the one I want to bring has all the effects I would need. What's the hassle factor and how much extra does it cost to fly it out?

Thanks

bob, no need to hijack Andree's thread.

Andree, did you see my reply? I gave you some pretty good advice to start off with.

Yep I saw that thanks for the tips! I actually am having too many in-home students so I haven't got around to the skype thing!
