and one of our most underrated yet highest paid ways
that teachers are making online money today.
And that is by coming an online coach themselves.
So stick around to today's show, you don't want to miss it.
Hey teachers, welcome to your home away from the classroom.

and thinking about the possibilities
to advance past your current day scale
or you're a seasoned CEO teacher looking for extra strategies
to make money online, you're in the right place.
No impressive tech skills or marketing experience necessary.
Just the passion and desire to transform your life

And while I am the visionary behind the CEO teacher movement,
this amazing community is continually being built by you.
One beautiful dream at a time.
Coming your way every Wednesday
as an extra credit bonus exclusively for teachers,
welcome to the CEO teacher podcast.
Teacher, this is a secret we've been hiding for years.
And it's finally time that we get to share it with you.
Look, you could probably throw a flare pin
and hit an online business coach right now.
So the question of the hour of the minute of the day
of the year is why should you place your trust in me, right?
Or maybe I should be asking why should people
place their trust in you.
That's because teachers support other teachers.
And it's exactly what we do here at the CEO teacher.
And we are finally delivering on our biggest promise
to help teachers make their worth in the fastest way possible
like never before.
I'm talking replacing your teaching salary in less than a year.
What if I told you that you are mere steps away from that life?
Here's a fun fact for you.
Teachers are in the top three professions
of becoming self-made millionaires
because they are willing to learn to take the average dollar
and leverage it into wealth through investing
in their own education and knowledge.
Truth be heard, this is the world's first ever guide
that helps teachers become their own online business coach
for other teachers, where you get to show educators how
to make money online from the teacher next door
to any teacher in the world.
It's the nine steps to becoming an online business coach
for teachers.
And it's happening right now.

Last week we talked about our CEO teacher framework,
what it looks like in the educational coaching puzzle.
So if you haven't already listened to that episode,
I want to encourage you to go back and take a listen
to last week's episode first because today,
I'm going to show you how to create an online coaching
business using that exact same framework.
But before we get started, I wanted to hit you with some quotes.
This one is by Eddie Robinson and it said,
coaching is a profession of love.
You can't coach people unless you love them.
And as someone who is an online coach myself,
I can say that the more I love on people,
the more I get back, the more you give, the more you get.
And then the Chicago Tribune said,
who exactly seeks out a coach in today's day and time?
Well, if you ask a coach the answer,
it is usually the same.
Winners, winners who want more out of life.
Last week I talked about all the different ways
that I have coaches in my own life,
but I want to kind of take you down memory lane here
and talk about how I became an online coach
and why it is my mission now to help you
become an online coach as well.
I also shared a little secret on last week's show
that I've never actually set out loud before
but I've always known it's true.
And that is that online coaches are making
the most money online right now.
I'm sorry I said online so many times,
but did you know that coaches that teach people
how to make money or how to save money
are the highest paid coaches?
And that's exactly what I want to teach you here today.
It's not just how to become an online coach as a teacher
but how you can teach other people to make money as well.
Now let's go back to that framework
of educational coaching.
There are six components to this framework.
First is online presence, next is target audience,
your offers, your commitment, your connection
and your follow through.
The online coaching industry has reached a value
of $20 billion in 2022.
The US coaching industry is growing at a 5.4% annual pace.
And 90% of companies think managers should act
as informal coaches.
As you become more aware of online business coaches
now that we're talking about them,
know that more people are invested in coaching
than ever before.
86% of millionaires reported actively receiving
mentor advice.
A mentor is simply someone who has done what you want to do.
Working with a physical trainer in a traditional gym
calls about $500 a month or more.
It stands to reason that investing in a business coach
has the best return on investment of any money
that you will spend,
which is why our business is thriving
and how I want to teach you to create that
in your own way as well.
So let's break through the online educational coaching
puzzle with six actionable steps today.
First is your online presence.
So when I first got started,
I didn't start my social media until about two years
into my journey of selling lesson plans online.
Let's take a little rewind back to the beginning of time here
in 2013.
I sold my lesson plans online for about five years
before I became an online coach.
Now I took all that time so you don't have to.
But a couple of years into me selling my lesson plans,
I started an Instagram and there I would share
on Insta Stories every day and just talk about my life
selling lesson plans.
I also started a YouTube channel that is pretty embarrassing
if you go back and listen to it,
but it began creating a following five years into selling
my lesson plans.
I decided to just try to coach people.
I created these little cute packages and I said,
hey, let me help you.
I've got a little bit of extra time now
that I have left the classroom.
And I started doing some one-on-one coaching.
I would do it for 30 minutes at a time
and then they would buy these packages
and then we would work together for a couple months
and then it turned into six months.
And then that's when I decided, hey,
I've got enough information here.
I've coached people enough one-on-one
where I could really make an online program out of this
and sell it online.
So by doing all of that, I created an online presence
and you can do that as well, starting as quickly as today
by doing some things like sharing virtual coffee chats.
Did you know that we are actually doing this
ourselves right now on Facebook?
Every Thursday night at APM Eastern Standard Time
for the next couple of weeks,
we're chatting with our friends on Facebook.
Go to the Casey Moore's Facebook page and check it out
but virtual coffee chats or virtual chats
are just a way for you to show up and be yourself.
Now, I'll be honest and this is my own personal opinion.
My mom said opinions are like,
elbows, everyone has them is that
I think you should have something planned to say.
I hate nothing more than jumping on a TikTok
or Instagram live and people are just scrolling through
the comments, just sitting there, like reading questions.
Now, do I do that?
Yes, but do I have a plan of what I'm gonna say first?
Yes.
So think about what you would like to talk about.
So if you're wanting to coach other teachers
and show them how to sell their lesson plans online,
maybe you're great at design, maybe you're great at marketing,
maybe you're great at social media,
plan exactly what you want to say
and then show up for a virtual chat.
You could also do some sort of networking events.
I love the idea of creating a cohort in your community.
Our local Chamber of Commerce has recently started getting
together with a lot of young entrepreneurs
and that's a perfect way for me to join in
to network at events and to tell other people
about exactly what I do.
Another way that you can invite people to your coffee chats
or to your network is show up in positive Facebook groups
where other teachers hang out.
Now, there are a few that I would say 100% stay away from
because they only complain if you're in that group leave
or those groups just get out,
but there are tons of other Facebook groups
full of teachers who are looking for your help and support.
But don't jump in there and just try to be the coach.
Instead, start coaching people and in return,
they will ask for more of your advice.
You get what you give here.
I remember when we hired Ali on our team,
that is exactly what Ali did for about a year and a half
before she became an employee for the CEO teacher.
She was in our community coaching people
every single day on her keyboard.
And us being able to see how well she interacted
with our students and how knowledgeable she was on our content,
it was a no-brainer for us when we decided to hire her.
And now she is a coach in her own right
and coaches for our company, coaches our students,
creates packages and is thriving.
Another way that you could create an online presence,
especially to let people know that you're an online coach,
is by guest posting.
Maybe you want to jump in a Facebook group and post
or go live for someone else or join in on a podcast episode
or even write a blog post for someone else.
That's a great way to get your name out there.
Next step on our actionable steps is make sure
that you find your target audience.
So this is where knowing exactly where you specialize in
in the online coaching world is so important.
Maybe you're great at designing your resources.
Maybe you are great at the marketing part.
You love search engine optimization
or you love social media.
You are killing it on TikTok.
Maybe you really understand how to blog and get your blog seen
or TPP is your heart and soul.
The movement is growing faster than we ever thought possible.
And so I want you to really hone in on your main thing.
And remember, Dr. Steven Covey said,
the main thing is to keep the main thing, the main thing,
so that you can start coaching teachers right away
because this is where everything is about to change.
Be clear on your messaging.
And remember that this is not an MLM.
This is not a multi-level marketing scheme.
We are not bamboozling people to join us to make money for us
to make this pyramid thing go crazy.
Instead, we are here supporting teachers
by giving them a life that they deserve.
Any teacher in the world who wants to make money online
we're not gatekeeping anymore.
It is more beautiful to share
and to know that there is room
for everyone on the playground.
Next up on our actionable tips on how to become
an online coach is that you must create an online offer.
Think of it as a global teacher's lounge.
It really isn't like a salesy thing.
It's a hey, hey, I know you're just getting started.
I'm coaching on the side.
So maybe if you want to meet up at the local library
we'll do that or make it very effortless at first.
And of course, I think that you should do it
for free in the beginning.
I know that I did it.
I did a 15 minute free call
before I would ever ask anybody for money
because sometimes it's just not a good fit.
And you want to make sure that if you're helping someone
it is a good fit.
A community of teachers that are supporting teachers.
I said it just a few minutes ago,
but I just want to reiterate it
is that there is room for everyone on the playground.
And going into this with a very open mindset of
I want everyone to win will change your life forever
because it will allow more abundance
and more money to come into your life.
Next up is connection.
You must support other teachers
who want to break into the online space.
So it's important that you start today
hosting a safe place.
Maybe in your area specifically
where teachers can come to ask questions
about selling online.
I talked about our local chamber of commerce.
Go ahead and start a monthly meetup.
Maybe after school,
it doesn't need to be during school hours, of course,
but maybe at a local place
where you can help teachers collaboratively
and then you can sell your coaching services there.
Maybe you do it in an online way and you do it on Zoom.
However you think would be the best option for you,
go ahead and get started today.
Number five is you must have that follow through.
So create a regular schedule
that allow a little bit of flexibility
so that you can work from home
teaching other teachers how to make money online.
It is possible to balance the demands of being a parent,
being a teacher and this current position.
Now you can easily make more money coaching
than you can as a classroom teacher.
And I'm not saying that just a blow smoke
on being very serious.
That's when I knew I can leave the classroom tomorrow
and if TPT doesn't pan out,
then I'll be able to do this coaching gig full time.
I was making $100,000 a year on teachers pay teachers
and then I started my coaching business
which was making about $3,000 or $4,000 a month.
And I knew that if one of these things didn't work out,
we would still be just fine.
And that's when I decided to leave the classroom.
So I'm not saying that you have to leave the classroom
to do this, but if that's something you're interested in,
I think this is the fastest way to find success.
However, you can still do this
while being a full time classroom teacher.
And finally, the next step is commitment.
Our success as a teacher can be multiplied
and can grow exponentially.
I want you to hand hold your community members,
these teachers that need your support.
I want you to show up in a way that helps them flourish
with their own businesses
and remember that win-win attitude.
It is finally your turn to create a community
that respects your life outside of the classroom
while still allowing you to give everything
that you want as a teacher.
And it is such a beautiful life.
I hope that I've helped you on starting
an online coaching business as well.
