In this practical, real-talk episode of Grow Your Tutoring Business, Richard unpacks how to find clients without feeling spammy or overwhelmed. He reframes the journey as three stages—Know-Like-Trust → personal touch (discovery calls) → onboarding—and argues that onboarding is the middle of the business, not the start or end. You’ll hear why visibility matters beyond social media, with examples like community boards and soft local partnerships, and how the most effective tactics right now are the human ones: showing up as you, inviting real conversations, and building trust through consistent touch points.
Richard also shares a simple metric to aim for—around 20 meaningful touch points a month—as a realistic “sweet spot” for momentum without burnout. He explains how to use “hand-raise” calls to action (comments, messages, opt-ins) instead of jumping straight to “Buy now,” and how those signals earn you the right to send info and make an offer. Expect clear, usable guidance on closing conversations, nurturing before the sale, and protecting your headspace with financial security—so you can stay consistent long enough for the compounding effect to kick in.
