20. Why I QUIT Outschool (& How to Know If You Should Too…)
Have you ever wondered if teaching on Outschool is really worth it anymore? Maybe you’re frustrated with the 30% cut, the constant platform changes, or the feeling that you don’t actually own your business. Because same.
For four years, I built my online teaching business on Outschool—it was a great place to start. But I had always dreamed of going off on my own. I just didn’t know how to find my own students. This past summer, I finally took the leap, started marketing my own lessons, and—let’s just say—it didn’t go exactly as planned.
In this episode, I’m breaking it all down:
✔️ Why I quit Outschool
✔️ How I transitioned off the platform
✔️ And how to know if it’s the right move for you
If you’ve been debating whether to stay or go, stick around—this one’s for you. Let’s dive in!
