Do you have an interest in earning more income as an online tutor?

Online tutors are in great demand.  In some locations (such as small towns), it can be difficult to find tutors on certain subjects.  Being able to utilize resources online gives students and their parents an abundance of options.  Still, some people hesitate at hiring online tutors because they feel that they can’t provide the same level of service as they could if they were there in person.

Some students also learn better by hearing information rather than just reading text on a screen.  So how can online tutors overcome these obstacles?  By using a simple tool called video conferencing.

Video conferencing is the next best thing to being there and can increase income potential for online tutors. 

* Video conferencing allows tutors to utilize visual demonstrations to illustrate their points.  This is a huge benefit in almost any subject.  Science tutors can conduct experiments for students to watch and learn from.  Math tutors can show math students how to solve equations step by step, instead of trying to put it all in written form.  And English teachers can easily show students how to diagram sentences.

* The audio component of video conferencing is great for those who retain information better when they hear it than when they see it.  Studies have shown that there are a great many students who fall into this category.  Even students who do better with information presented visually can benefit from the reinforcement provided by hearing it as well.

* If the student has a webcam as well, the tutor can benefit from a higher level of interactivity with him.  It is often easier for people to express themselves when they can be both seen and heard, as opposed to just sending text messages through chat or instant messaging.  As a result, the tutor can better address the student’s individual needs.

* Online tutors can usually record their sessions with students.  They can then make them available for the student to use in the future.  The opportunity for repetition of a lesson is a great benefit to students.  The capability to record sessions easily also benefits the tutor by giving her the opportunity to post sample sessions for prospective clients to watch.  It is advisable; however, to obtain the parent’s permission (or the student’s if he is an adult), especially if you’re including any audio, video, or text from the student’s end.

Offering video tutoring can give you an edge in the competitive tutoring market.  The equipment you need can be purchased at a low price, and you can easily recover the money spent in just a few sessions.

Top 10 of the Most Popular Direct Sales Companies

Interested in starting your own home business through a direct sales company? Historically, a direct sales associate was expected to demonstrate their products at home parties.  Today, we have many direct sales companies to choose from with a wide range of options to fulfill any interests such as jewlery, makeup, toys, cooking, scrapbooking and more.

What are the most popular direct sales companies today? 

1.  Tupperware was created in 1945.  A year later Tupperware was born as a direct sales company.  They are credited with pioneering the party plan currently used in direct marketing.  There are approximately 1.9 million consultants in almost 100 countries.

2.  Avon began as the California Perfume Company in 1886.  By 1928 the company had changed its name to Avon.  Today, Avon is one of the best known direct sales companies in the world.  There are 4.9 million representatives selling products in 143 countries.

3.  Mary Kay Ash founded the Mary Kay Inc. in 1963, hoping to give women an opportunity to change their lives for the better.  There are approximately 1.6 million associates vying for the many company incentives.

4.  Discovery Toys Inc. has been developing and selling quality educational toys since 1978.  Their belief is that a child’s work is play.  Discovery Toys uses the party plan method and is currently available only in the United States and Canada.

5.  Home Interiors & Gifts, Inc. celebrates 50 years in 2008.  There are currently over 100,000 associates.  They use party plan and face-to-face meetings to market their products.

6.  Pampered Chef, one of the more recent additions to direct sales companies, was started in 1980.  There are currently over 60,000 Pampered Chef consultants around the world.  They use the party plan, or “Kitchen Shows” to market their products.

7.  Arbonne International uses person-to-person marketing rather than the party plan.  A relatively new company, Arbonne International was started in 1980.  They offer quality skin care products around the world.

8.  Usborne Books, which was started by Peter Usborne in 1973, offers quality children’s books to customers.  They use both the party plan and person-to-person marketing strategies.

9.  Creative Memories has been selling scrapbooking books and supplies since 1987.  They use the party plan marketing strategy and have “tens of thousands” of consultants around the world.

10.  Melaleuca, Inc. began selling “green” products long before they were so popular.  Founded in 1985, the company sells personal, skin, and home care products containing tea tree oil.  They use person-to-person marketing and have consultants all over the world.  They are said to be the “fastest growing” direct sales company in the United States.

These ten direct sales companies are but a few of the many companies to choose from. Do some research on any direct sales company that you might consider joining.  Make sure you’re enthusiastic about their products or services before deciding to promote them yourself.

A few questions to ask: 1. What is their compensation plan?  2.  What type of marketing strategy they use (and whether or not you can use online marketing)? 3.  Is their corporate goals compatible with yours?  After you have checked each company out thoroughly, you will be able to make an educated decision about which is the right one for you.

7  Profitable Membership Sites that You Can Start Today

I’m going to get straight to the point…membership sites are a great way to earn residual income online.  Pick one (or two) of these 7 options below and get some action going….

1.  Coaching/Mentoring

This type of site provides help, insight and support to its members regarding a specific topic.  There are life coaches, business coaches and mentoring programs focusing on varies industries or job types.  A coaching or mentoring site allows the owner to leverage their time.  Instead of offering their expertise to one client at a time, they can provide it to hundreds or thousands of clients at the same time.

2.  PLR (Private Label Rights)

A PLR site offers a random assortment of articles centered around a key word or idea.  The articles you provide through a Private Label Rights site can be legally modified.   Many website owners and bloggers subscribe to these services to use the content on their sites or create special reports and ebooks out of them.

3.  Social Sites

Social sites focus on bringing together specialized niches of people like senior citizens, dog lovers, people from a certain regional area, or just about any lifestyle choice or passion you can think of that would draw people together.

4.  Content

This is probably one of the most popular types of membership site.  A content site offers its members resources and information centered around a particular topic or problem.  Usually the topic is highly specialized and the information it contains cannot be found quickly or easily elsewhere.  Members gladly pay a monthly membership fee in order to have this useful information in one, easy to locate place.

5.  Paid Newsletter

A newsletter site offers its members exclusive access to news and information relating to a specific topic.  Basically, the owner of the site researches and compiles pertinent news stories and data from all sorts of media so that the members don’t have to.  

6.  Message Board or Forum

This type of site requires potential posters (or information seekers) to pay for a membership before they can contribute and/or use certain functions of the forum, such as a search.  Creating a viable forum site can be tricky, as it must provide information that can’t easily be found on another forum or website for free.  They also normally have a very low membership fee.

7.  Content Delivered Via Audio

With this type of membership, all of your content is delivered to your members or posted on your site as audio files.  I have seen this site model used to offer audio files on a wide variety of topics to be used as additional content on other membership sites - rather like business to business marketing.

You can also combine several of these ideas into one membership site. A content site can also have a members only forum, and a paid newsletter can feature a monthly audio bonus.  The possibilities are endless, and the more you offer your subscribers, the more they will value your service.
