Summary
A Musical Teacher Membership worth Singing About
Hey CEO Teachers! It's music to my ears...I don't know about you, but I am so ready to switch gears from talking about Instagram and, instead, to focus on another really important area of your business - your teacher membership sites! That's why today I'm interviewing Tim Topham from Top Music Co. Tim is an expert on teacher membership fees and all things teacher memberships. Plus, his own top teacher membership (<-- see what I did there? :)) is a magnum opus.
How to create an online membership site
While Tim started with 22 years as a classroom teacher, he founded Top Music Co back in 2010 when he realized that a traditional exam-focused approach to teaching music wasn't cutting it. So instead, Tim decided that a better way to teach music was to take his efforts online. Today, Tim shares blogs and videos and a beautiful membership for music teachers all over the world. It's truly an amazing story. Look no further and listen to this episode to hear Tim's best tips and practices that you can begin to use right away on your very own successful teacher membership business.
In this episode, you will learn:
- How Tim's in-direct path and travels all over the world led him BACK to teaching music
- Why NOT knowing everything helped Tim seek mentorship that, in turn, pointed him toward his teacher membershipÂ
- What special ingredient is needed for a successful membership
- How you can repurpose your back-catalog content inside of your membership
- And how courses can lead to - and enhance - your teacher membership
