In the Fall of 2023 our Microschool was awarded the $10,000 Vela Microgrant and now I am part of the Vela Founder Network. This summer I attended the Vela Con 2024 in Washington D.C. It was amazing! All of the speakers were awesome. The food was delicious. And I met some amazing microschool and homeschooling business builders that I'm still connecting with today.

Several educators have asked me what I learned at the Vela Conference so that's what this episode is all about. I'm excited to share my biggest takeaways from all of the sessions I attended. Grab your favorite notebook and pen because you never know one of these ideas could be the game changer your microschool or homeschooling business needs.

How do you find people who will be interested in what you have to offer? This is a great question. You can have an amazing unique resource or program, but if you have no audience to share your offer with... You can’t make MONEY!

Now you don’t need a huge audience to get started. In fact, when I started marketing our microschool and homeschool hybrid I had little to no audience. So how did I enroll 3 new learners only 1 month after I started marketing?

That's exactly what I'm going to share with you in today's episode.

Let's chat about how you can use "connection marketing" to bring more income into your dream teacher business.
