In this episode I’m talking about how to chose your online teaching niche.
Most new teachers get stuck overthinking, comparing ideas, or fearing they’ll pick the “wrong” one. But choosing a niche doesn’t need to be complicated, you just need to follow a few steps and start testing, instead of waiting for the perfect idea.
When you pick a niche based on your skills, solve a specific problem, and quickly validate demand, you can start building your audience and income without wasting months in research mode.
🍎 Three key takeaways from this episode:
Your niche should align with what you already know and enjoy teaching. This makes it sustainable and prevents burnout over time.
The most profitable niches solve a clear problem for a specific group of people. Focus on helping them achieve a transformation, not just sharing information.
You don’t need to commit right away. Test your idea with a free workshop, short-form content, or a small paid class before creating a full course.

#11: Three Strategies That Helped Me Enroll 700 Students in My Italian Courses
Today I’m talking about three strategies that helped me enroll 700 students in my Italian courses during my latest launch.
Instead of adding more complexity, I focused on building trust, creating connection, and giving students a reason to take action.
By connecting personally, warming up my audience, and offering an incentive for early action, I turned interested followers into committed students.
🍎 Three key takeaways from this episode:
Personal video replies using VideoAsk helped students feel seen and supported. This connection built trust and reassured them before they enrolled.
A four-day challenge gave people a real taste of my teaching style. It warmed up my audience and turned interest into confidence before the cart opened.
A limited-time bonus created urgency for early sign-ups. It encouraged fast action while adding real value for new students.

#10: Why One Weekly Email Matters More Than You Think
Today I’m talking about the one strategy that makes the biggest difference in your online business: sending a weekly email.
If you’re only showing up in inboxes when you want to sell something, your audience won’t feel connected, or ready to buy.
But when you email consistently, even with a small list, you build trust, stay top of mind, and create real relationships with your future students.
🍎 Three key takeaways from this episode:
Email builds connection. It’s your direct line to your audience, and unlike social media, you own it.
Weekly emails don’t need to be long. A simple story, tip, or resource is enough to keep your audience engaged.
Don’t be afraid of unsubscribes. Focus on the people who want to hear from you. Those are your future customers.

#9: Teachers, It’s Time to Start Showing Up on Social Media
In this episode of Teacher Talks Biz, I’m breaking down why showing up on social media, even before you feel ready, is a powerful move you can make for your teaching business.
You don’t need fancy graphics, a huge audience, or a perfect product. You just need to start. Because the truth is, people buy from people they know.
And showing up regularly is how they get to know you.
🍎 Three key takeaways from this episode:
You don’t have to be “ready” to start posting. Start now, build confidence as you go, and connect with your audience from day one.
Choose one platform to begin with. Focus on where your audience is and what type of content feels easiest for you to create consistently.
Your goal is connection, not perfection. Share simple, helpful posts, like quick tips, relatable stories, or behind-the-scenes moments.

#2: How to Find Your First Online Students (Without Feeling Salesy)
How can you actually get students when you're just starting out online?
In this episode of Teacher Talks Biz, I’m sharing exactly how I booked my first 1:1 students, without a website, paid ads, or a big following.
Whether you're nervous about sounding too “salesy” or unsure where to start, this episode will show you how to find your first students by focusing on connection and value, not complicated marketing.
From simple Instagram posts to starting private lessons that helped me earn while learning, I’m walking you through the steps I took, and how you can do the same.
🍎 Three key takeaways from this episode:
Give value first. Before anyone pays you, they need to trust you. Share tips, answer questions, and be helpful online.
Start with 1:1 lessons. It’s the easiest and most flexible way to begin, and it gives you clarity on what your future course or offers should look like.
Social media isn’t so much about selling. It’s about showing up as a teacher and inviting people to work with you in a genuine, human way.

#1: From Classroom to Online: My Personal Teaching Journey
Wondering if you can really build a profitable online business as a teacher?
In this kickoff episode of Teacher Talks Biz, I’m sharing how I transitioned from the rigid world of academia to creating an online Italian language school that now serves thousands.
From launching my first course with zero marketing experience to redefining what teaching looks like for me, this is the story of how I took back control of my time, income, and impact, and how you can too.
🍎 Three key takeaways from this episode:
Your teaching skills are enough. You don’t need to be a tech expert or marketing pro to start. Your experience as a teacher is your greatest asset in the online space.
Start before you’re ready. I launched my first course while feeling unsure and imperfect, and still enrolled over 140 students. Action breeds clarity.
There’s more than one way to teach. If the traditional path doesn’t fit your life anymore, you can design your own. Online teaching can give you the freedom to align your work with your values.
