Stop playing video games. They said. get a real job. They said. I've tried so many online money making methods in the past I've taken surveys on mTUrk. I freelanced audio production and voice work gigs on Fiver and E-lance. I've even taught kids in China on VIPKid. But nothing comes close to the profit I'm making with NFT games. I mean let me tell you a secret: I'm making more income playing games in a SINGLE DAY than any of these other online money-making methods, yet alone a "real job" had me earning in a full WEEK. Guys I am 100% serious when I talk about this. But NFTs are changing the gaming industry as we know it! With NFTs and the Blockchain technology, we're able to effectively verify that YOU own an item that you won from a game. It's not something your in-game avatar wears or holds. It's something you legitimately own. And just like anything you own in real life, like a book, instrument, furniture, whatever, you can buy, sell, and trade it on the market. It's no longer just "pixels" on a screen. It can now be traded for real fiat, real currency, through the use of the blockchain and crypto coins. The MetaVerse is building and we're blurring the lines between actual reality and virtual reality. This is just the beginning, fellow procrastin8rs. You can sit at home and PLAY A GAME to earn a real asset then sell that asset for money. Are you understanding me? Please tell me you follow. Okay, let me break this down for you, real simple: This is the lazy opportunity we've been waiting for! You can make money sitting on the couch playing video games. No need to grow an audience or following. No need to look pretty for the camera as you stream. No need to set up sponsors or affiliate links. You literally...just. play the game. Now I'm gonna be covering in-depth reviews/guides in the on coming weeks about some profitable NFT games I've been playing recently. Last week, you heard of BombCrypto and this time I want to introduce to you a little Play to Earn NFT game called Heroes and Empires. It's a medieval fantasy themed idle game. Even if you aren't much a gamer, it's very easy/semi-passive income. Just click a few buttons each day to do quests and battles. It's auto battle, so no actual skill or reflexes required. If you can browser a website, you can play this game!

I'm thrilled to share an inspiring conversation with Katie Gettys, an innovative entrepreneur who has mastered the art of scaling online teaching businesses. Katie's journey is a fascinating blend of passion, travel, and entrepreneurial spirit that offers valuable lessons for educators everywhere.From Classroom to Global AdventureKatie began her career as a traditional music educator, teaching elementary school students. However, a quarter-life crisis at age 25 led her to take a bold step. She left her classroom job to travel and live abroad, spending time in Prague and exploring Europe and Southeast Asia. During this period, she discovered online teaching through VipKid, where she taught English to children in China.Discovering Outschool and Online Music TeachingUpon returning to the States at the onset of the pandemic, Katie missed her musical roots and sought ways to teach music online. She found Outschool, an online platform that allows teachers to create and offer classes to children aged 3 to 18. Within three months, Katie was making more than half of her previous teaching salary, and she knew she had found her niche.What is Outschool?Outschool is an online marketplace connecting students and teachers for a wide range of subjects, including music, life skills, and more. Unlike traditional education platforms, Outschool does not require teachers to have formal degrees—just a passion and expertise in their subject area. While Outschool takes a 30% cut of earnings, the platform's extensive marketing and student base make it a valuable partner for many educators.Expanding Her StudioKatie's success on Outschool allowed her to scale her business further by hiring other teachers to meet growing demand. This move not only diversified her studio's offerings (including piano, voice, and drums) but also enabled her to serve more students effectively. Transitioning from an independent teacher to managing an organization on Outschool required creating a legal entity and demonstrating her ability to attract students, a process Katie now helps others navigate through her coaching business.Overcoming Challenges and Personal GrowthKatie's journey wasn't without challenges. She faced significant self-doubt, especially when considering hiring other teachers. However, she worked through these limiting beliefs and embraced her role as a leader. Katie also shared insights into managing multiple projects and the importance of simplifying to avoid overwhelm.The Importance of Focus and SimplificationBoth Katie and I resonate with the idea that business growth often reflects personal growth. Katie has explored various business avenues but recently emphasized the need to focus on what truly matters. This approach reduces stress and increases efficiency, allowing her to enjoy the freedom that entrepreneurship promises.Katie's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of pursuing your passion, even if it means taking unconventional paths. Her success with Outschool and her ability to scale her business while maintaining a focus on personal growth offer valuable lessons for all educators.Connect with KatieHelp teachers start and scale their teaching businesses with Outschool.

Max Azarov created his business to meet the needs of his own children and families like his. But it was successful enough to become a major online platform – and is in the process of scaling up big time. Today on The Business of You, Max shares some of his key takeaways from scaling up and growing as an entrepreneur. Max is the Founder of NovaKid, an online language learning platform for kids ages 4-12. Novakid has been included on the Forbes Top 500 list of America's Best Startup Employers. NovaKid is currently in the expansion phase, exploring new ways to work with older children and create group language immersion experiences. Classes are 25-45 minutes depending on childrens' ages. NovaKid employs complete immersion during classes, with no English spoken, and integrates learning games into the curriculum, making language acquisition engaging and effective. NovaKid is a Series B startup that has raised $41.5 million to date and created revenue of over $18 million in 2021. This fully remote, venture-backed business has been operating since 2017, with approximately 2,500 staff and teachers in over 20 countries. Novakid is funded by well-known venture capital firms Owl Ventures and Goodwater Capital, PortfoLion, LearnStart, Xploration Capital, Bon Angels, Leta Capital, TMT Investments, all of which support innovation businesses globally. Max has a robust background in applied mathematics, software design, and digital signal processing. He worked at Google in product development and the development of Google Maps. Created out of need Max Azarov was frustrated. Living abroad in Eastern Europe, he was struggling to find teaching modalities for his older son to learn English. In a place where English was not widely spoken or accessible at the time, he attempted to find a teacher for him – but she ended up moving away. While on a trip to Shanghai in 2017, Max had an epiphany when he saw families using a popular platform called VIPKid. Wondering why there was no comparable platform in Europe, he set out to research it. While there were plenty of options for adults to learn, there weren't for children. There were widespread beliefs that children could not learn online and certainly could not acquire language skills online. Fortunately, those beliefs turned out to be false. Secrets of scaling a remote company As NovaKid extended its influence, it emerged as a prominent player in the online education sector. Max Azarov, equipped with a background in applied mathematics, software design, and experience at Google, guided NovaKid through substantial growth. Max's entrepreneurial journey, rooted in personal necessity, is a compelling illustration of how business ventures can address unmet needs and revolutionize industries, particularly in scaling online businesses and embracing remote workforces. Quotes “I was helping these big guys to help them solve a problem. That was a big moment for me – realizing that this is not just my hobby, not just my passion…it was something that I could use to make a big difference in the world.” “This was the need – how do I make them fluent in English while living in a country where English is not the first language and is not widely spoken?” “For adults, you could find a lot of choices. But for kids, there was nothing. Traditional wisdom would say that it wouldn't work for kids. But that turned out to be completely false.” “There are two things we do differently than others: We went with complete immersion! No English is spoken during the class. The second thing is that we heavily used learning games as part of the curriculum.” “It's a combination of games, to get attention, and full immersion that drives the learning.” “We are focused on deep and meaningful connections with students.” “Why do we even have language as a species? We have it to make deep, meaningful connections with each other. So we encourage that in our product as well.” “If your business model allows you to have remote workers, definitely do that!” “Without an excellent healthy culture, you cannot really build a successful company.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit the NovaKid website at https://www.novakidschool.com See NovaKid's feature in Forbes' list of America's Best Startup Employers: https://www.forbes.com/lists/americas-best-startup-employers/?sh=60b6d5272ad7 Connect with Max on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/mazarov
In their first every "recorded from Egypt" podcast - this week Sarah and Mike talk with the founder of Kingdom Kidz Online Academy, Tawanna Davis. Tawanna Davis is the founder of Kingdom Kidz Online Academy where it is her desire to build God's kingdom, one child at a time by making learning fun and interactive from home. A 2011 graduate from Lasalle University Nursing Program, it was the Almighty's calling for Tawanna to make the career transition to become an educator. Taking a leap of faith, Tawanna decided to educate children internationally in Egypt, and China which she has over 10 years of experience teaching both in the brick and mortar and virtual setting. Having been employed at VIPKID, the #1 online education platform, Tawanna had the wonderful opportunity to teach over 10,000 students, write and illustrate children's stories for the Chinese community, and work for the Rural Education Project, founded by the Alibaba business mogul, Jack Ma in teaching many children throughout rural China who do not have access to quality education. As an educator, Tawanna offers more of a motherly approach in the classroom setting: nurturing, stern, and creative. Because she acknowledges that all children are intelligent and learn when it is fun, Tawanna utilizes several teaching methods proven to enhance student academic development and interest in learning. From song and dance to visual enhancements, she loves to incorporate many educational methods to create a fun learning atmosphere. Moreover, Tawanna is a current homeschooler and world schooler with over 8 years of experience which is her gift from God to be a mother that has allowed her to reach the hearts and minds of the youth. ‘Train up a child in the way that he shall go and when he is old, he will never depart from it ‘Proverbs 22:6
Online Teaching is a great place to start for Stay-at-home-Moms looking for a work-from-home job. Within the online teaching world, teaching ESL - English as a Second Language - online is the perfect spot for the Mom without a degree or experience. In this episode, I share 5 of my favorite ESL platforms for 2023. These platforms have great reviews and teachers are happy!*Important to note* not every platform is hiring every day. They may accept your application but will hold onto it for months. These platforms don't onboard new online teachers until their online class numbers call for it. This is great news for you as a new online teacher! It means you're much more likely to get bookings than on other platforms that hire and onboard every day.*also important to note* that some of the platforms today do require a degree. The degree DOES NOT have to be in education! It can be a degree in anything! So, if you're a mama with a college degree, those platforms are available for you as well!FREE DOWNLOAD TO MATCH YOU WITH A PLATFORM: https://onlineteacherallyson.com/platformonlilneteacherallyson.comApply to Outschool: https://outschool.com/teach?signup=true&usid=5PZJij7r&utm_campaign=share_invite_link&teacherReferral=trueApply to VIPKid: https://www.vipkid.com/mkt/landing/personal?referralToken=3770056cecf6a4261cd607348261dbf4&refereeId=42025210&channel_id=copy_link_pcApply to Cambly: https://www.cambly.com/invite/9KFQZEFF?st=090822&sc=4Podcast: Simple Tools For The Online TeacherBlog Post:Instagram: @teacher.allysonTikTok: @teacher.allyson

Businesses run on incentives — from attracting customers with great prices, to drawing in talent with great salaries. But incentives aren't something you set once; you must constantly revisit them to adjust to changing times. Cindy Mi, founder and CEO of the learning platform VIPKid, has leveraged the power of incentives to build a thriving global learning community — and, to shepherd her organization through a black hole-sized disruption.

A few years ago, Chinese online English teaching companies VIPKID and Akasuo were both booming. But their business was mainly for children and primary school students. Later, teaching for these groups was officially banned in China. As a result, many companies that were teaching English began to shift to English for adults.Join other motivated learners on your Chinese learning journey with maayot.

You've all probably heard of Twitter and Reddit, two popular social media platforms. But what if I told you there was another platform which has more active monthly users than either of those platforms? I'm talking about Pinterest. Pinterest's user demographics make it an especially attractive marketing opportunity for independent ESL tutors who are focused on the young learner market. It's the platform of choice for Tiger Moms. Pinterest user demographics skews toward women (and higher income brackets than average). So today we are going to learn a lot more about “Marketing Your ESL Service on Pinterest”. My guest, Melanie Boyd, helps entrepreneurs design a career and lifestyle, with purpose and passion through Pinterest management and strategy. Her educational background is in Communication Disorders and in E-Learning. She has almost 5 years' experience working with young language learners through VIPKID. She is currently the owner of Melanie Boyd Creative where she offers support as a Pinterest Account Specialist.
Leah has been the owner of Leah Sparrow Digital Marketing since January of 2020. Her love for marketing was discovered in the early 1990's. She began as an on-air personality for a few radio stations in Tennessee. She was quickly promoted to production director and operations manager. Her duties included creating and overseeing the promotional and commercial content along with the programming of the station(s). She enjoyed her years in radio, but she began to notice a decline in sales. She realized the industry was shifting so she decided to pursue teaching. Spending time teaching her employees the art of delivery and content creation during her time in broadcasting was also something she found she had a passion for. In 2008, she decided to move on and pursue an education degree. Once she finished her masters in curriculum and instruction, she went on to teach at one of the private schools in her town. Although she enjoyed teaching the students, she discovered her health would not allow her to continue teaching in a brick mortar. She then decided to find a way to work from home. The discovery of online teaching was made as well as the discovery of a new passion: online teaching. In 2017, she began her online teaching with VIPKID and QKIDS. As she honed her skills through companies like VIPKID, QKIDS, GogoKid, and Outschool, she realized she wanted to take her passion for online teaching to the next level. After a few months of navigating and determining where her niche was in the independent online teaching world, she began the process of growing a digital marketing business. With the sole goal of helping online teachers grow and scale their online business through simplified marketing, Leah created Leah Sparrow Digital Marketing. Her digital course,The Online Teacher's Facebook Ads Blueprint (TOTFAB), is helping online teachers take their business to the next level. For those interested in growing their business through social media marketing at any stage, she provides one on one sessions and social media management services.Connect with Leah Sparrow:Facebook: @teacherleahsparrowFacebook Group: Online Teacher Support & Training Instagram: @teacherleahsparrowTwitter: @teacherleahsLinkedIn: @teacherleahsparrowYouTube: www.YouTube.com/leahsparrowWebsite: www.teacherleah.comemail: leah@teacherleah.com
Stop playing video games. They said. get a real job. They said. I've tried so many online money making methods in the past I've taken surveys on mTUrk. I freelanced audio production and voice work gigs on Fiver and E-lance. I've even taught kids in China on VIPKid. But nothing comes close to the profit I'm making with NFT games. I mean let me tell you a secret: I'm making more income playing games in a SINGLE DAY than any of these other online money-making methods, yet alone a "real job" had me earning in a full WEEK. Guys I am 100% serious when I talk about this. But NFTs are changing the gaming industry as we know it! With NFTs and the Blockchain technology, we're able to effectively verify that YOU own an item that you won from a game. It's not something your in-game avatar wears or holds. It's something you legitimately own. And just like anything you own in real life, like a book, instrument, furniture, whatever, you can buy, sell, and trade it on the market. It's no longer just "pixels" on a screen. It can now be traded for real fiat, real currency, through the use of the blockchain and crypto coins. The MetaVerse is building and we're blurring the lines between actual reality and virtual reality. This is just the beginning, fellow procrastin8rs. You can sit at home and PLAY A GAME to earn a real asset then sell that asset for money. Are you understanding me? Please tell me you follow. Okay, let me break this down for you, real simple: This is the lazy opportunity we've been waiting for! You can make money sitting on the couch playing video games. No need to grow an audience or following. No need to look pretty for the camera as you stream. No need to set up sponsors or affiliate links. You literally...just. play the game. Now I'm gonna be covering in-depth reviews/guides in the on coming weeks about some profitable NFT games I've been playing recently. Last week, you heard of BombCrypto and this time I want to introduce to you a little Play to Earn NFT game called Heroes and Empires. It's a medieval fantasy themed idle game. Even if you aren't much a gamer, it's very easy/semi-passive income. Just click a few buttons each day to do quests and battles. It's auto battle, so no actual skill or reflexes required. If you can browser a website, you can play this game!

近日，北京市教委会公布首批《北京市校外线上培训备案名单》，52家培训机构入选，新东方在线、猿辅导、VIPKID、跟谁学等知名教育机构被列入名单。北京市教委表示，对未经备案从事面向中小学生学科类线上培训的主体，将依法依规予以查处。建议学生和家长在了解国家和北京市关于校外线上培训相关政策的基础上，理性选择校外线上培训。 36氪获悉，中国邮政集团有限公司与拼多多在京达成战略合作协议。双方将在农产品进城及扶贫助农相关领域发挥各自优势，全面推进农产品产销对接合作。中国邮政将充分发挥资金流、物流、商流“三流合一”的优势，为拼多多农产品产销对接提供综合解决方案。同时，中国邮政还将发挥邮政企业直达源头的优势，利用三年时间打造150个中国邮政农产品基地，为拼多多平台从源头供应优质农产品。 微盟“删库”主角贺某获6年有期徒刑，贺某透露，是酒后因生活不如意、无力偿还网贷等个人原因导致作出“删库”行为。上海市宝山区人民法院认为，贺某违反国家规定，删除计算机信息系统中存储的数据，造成特别严重的后果，其行为已构成破坏计算机信息系统罪，应当依法追究刑事责任。公诉机关指控的犯罪事实清楚，证据确实充分，罪名成立。 在使用微信时，因为各种各种的原因，你可能不想见到与某个人的聊天会话一直出现在列表里，或者不想其他人看到，但是又不得不面对它时刻就在那里的烦恼。这个问题可能很快就可以解决了。在微信7.0.16 for iOS测试版中，聊天会话除了可以执行“标记为已读/未读”、“删除”之外，还有了“不显示”这个操作选项。对某个聊天会话执行“不显示”后，它就会消失在你的聊天会话列表中，但是聊天记录并不会被删除。当该联系人发来新的消息，或者你到通讯录中主动发起与之的聊天会话时，才会重新出现在微信首屏的聊天会话列表中。 闲鱼App发布公告称，闲鱼将定期向用户公示相关整治行动与数据。其中，9月9日至9月15日，闲鱼冻结涉欺诈用户0.7万个；处理色情低俗类商品1.1万件，冻结用户0.2万人；处理其他有害信息共计7.5万条，冻结用户0.9万个；共受理22.2万条举报，其中有效举报9.3万条，均已进行相关处理。 来自国内微博数码博主@长安数码君爆料，一直以来备受行业瞩目以及用户关心的华为Mate 40系列发布筹备阶段已经进入收尾阶段，目前已经开始在部分线下店逐步规划物料，预计将在十月正式开启预热阶段。Mate 40系列将升级为全系挖孔屏，推测Mate 40为单孔，Mate 40 Pro为双孔。除此之外，Mate 40标准版首次采用双曲面屏，和Pro版同为曲面屏方。上一代的“环形相机”设计被保留了下来。ID设计灵感源于“四眼车灯”超跑。当然大家最关心的还是关于华为新一代的旗舰芯片的正式亮相，这款基于5纳米工艺制程打造，由台积电代工的芯片，将会在Mate 40系列首次亮相。 据外媒报道，英伟达创始人兼CEO黄仁勋承诺，愿意签署对ARM具有“法律约束力”的保护协议。黄仁勋表示，“只要ARM员工愿意在英国工作，总部就会留在英国。”他补充称，英伟达将增加ARM剑桥总部的员工数量，但并未明确说明具体将增加的岗位数量。英伟达宣布400亿美元收购ARM之后，引发ARM联合创始人赫尔曼·豪瑟的强烈抵制。尽管，黄仁勋表示将延续ARM的开放式授权模式，保持客户中立性，但赫尔曼·豪瑟认为，这是一场灾难，将破坏ARM的商业模式。

腾讯确定成为第 127 届广交会技术服务商，为广交会网上举办提供整体技术支持、平台研发服务与云资源支撑。第127届广交会将于 6 月中下旬在网上举办。广交会成为疫情之下又一个被迫采取变革的大会。 在线教育企业VIPKID近日向北京市海淀区法院提交起诉书，起诉另一在线教育企业 跟谁学 “指使员工使用不正当手段窃取用户名单等商业机密”，并索赔800万元，目前北京市海淀区法院已受理此案。这也是在线教育行业领域，首例以“窃取商业机密”为由起诉的案件。 今日头条旗下股市行情类App“海豚股票”已经可以开户与实盘交易。海豚股票作为股市行情类App已经运营很长时间，今年初开始向部分用户推送内测版本，内测版本可以直接开户与实盘交易。普通用户在下载海豚股票App后，通过申请，也能开通开户与实盘交易功能。 近期，爱奇艺和腾讯视频全都推出了“免费看电影”活动。爱奇艺设立了免费电影播单，目前已有152部影片。腾讯视频的相关宣传页则显示“6000部大片免费看”。从两家活动专区覆盖的电影类型来看，经典老片、院线电影占了大多数，也有少量平台独播的网络大电影入选，这些影片对平台上的非付费用户或者平台之外的新用户来说具备一定的吸引力。爱奇艺和腾讯视频的用户活跃度和用户在线时长，或将借此机会得到拉升。 近日，马蜂窝发布《五一小长假旅游趋势报告》。数据显示，五一期间游客优先选择户外的景区景点进行短途游。稻城亚丁、蜈支洲岛是今年“五一”小长假热度最高的旅游景点。此外，还有西溪国家湿地公园、仙女山国家森林公园、洱海、拈花湾、千岛湖风景区等。 荣耀30系列昨天发布，跟最近发布的华为P40系列一样，这个系列也采用了中杯、大杯、超大杯的三款机型组合，并且命名方式也与P40系列相似，分别是荣耀30、30Pro、30 Pro+。拍照方面，在DXO-MARK的评分当中，荣耀30 Pro+综合评分达到125分，仅次于P40 Pro排名第二。本次发布会还带来新的芯片。麒麟985 5G SoC，采用麒麟990相同的5G 基带，这款芯片将在荣耀30首发。自此华为集齐了990、985、820三款高中低端的5G芯片。 路透社援引知情人士称，受新冠肺炎疫情影响被迫临时关闭850家门店后，118年历史的美国老牌百货公司J.C.Penney正考虑申请破产保护。此前，Penney公司已让近8.5万名员工停薪休假。消息人士称，虽然Penney有足够的现金可以在未来几个月维持运营，但因为门店的关闭，公司营收已经干涸。Penney正在考虑包括申请破产在内的几种选择，帮助公司解决不稳定的财务状况，并节省资金用于偿债。

2019年诺贝尔奖第二个奖项揭晓了。瑞典皇家科学院宣布，吉姆·皮布尔斯、米歇尔·麦耶和迪迪埃·奎洛兹获得今年的诺贝尔物理学奖，以奖励他们在天体物理学方面的发现。过去五年当中，天体物理的成果已经三次得奖。除了今年以外，还有2015年的中微子振荡以及2017年引力波的发现。 蔚来汽车公告称，第三季度汽车交付量为4799辆，高于此前4200-4400台的销量预测，环比第二季度增加35.1%，其中包括4196辆ES6、603辆ES8。这一数据并不抢眼。新能源汽车补贴退坡，叠加召回事件对蔚来的影响不小。为了刺激购车需求，蔚来在第三季度推出了终身免费质保，终身免费换电的“双免”政策。此外，车市素有“金九银十”效应加持，蔚来还在9月份补充出台了购车优惠政策，例如三年分期免息、3成首付购车等。 VIPKID昨天正式确认，腾讯领投E轮融资。双方将继续深化在互联网教育、人工智能、云服务、教育公益等领域的合作。华兴资本担任独家财务顾问。VIPKID并没有透露此次E轮融资规模。此前，腾讯参与了VIPKID的D轮和D+轮的战略融资。 央视新闻昨天再次发布声明称，已注意到NBA总裁亚当·肖华回应休斯敦火箭队总经理莫雷发表涉港不当言论一事。对亚当肖华声称支持莫雷自由表达权利的说辞，我们予以强烈不满和反对。为此，中央广播电视总台央视体育频道决定，立即暂停NBA季前赛目前的转播安排，立即排查涉及NBA的一切合作交流。随后，NBA总裁亚当·肖华在日本东京召开的记者会上称，央视暂停NBA转播令人遗憾。 智联招聘发布《2019年秋季中国雇主需求与白领人才供给报告》，报告指出，2019年秋季竞争指数同比上升、环比下降，全国平均39人竞争一个岗位；国有企业竞争仍然最激烈，民营企业竞争态势稳定；全国平均薪酬继续攀升，秋季升至每月8698元，环比上升2.9%，同比上升10.8%；城市间薪酬差距进一步缩小，贵阳、昆明薪酬涨幅领先。 亚马逊推出儿童版Kindle ，它有一个6英寸、167PPI电子墨水显示屏和一个前灯，再加上标准的电池。官网售价为109.99美元，还有大量对儿童友好的功能，包括活动徽章、儿童壁纸和单词库。 对于百度创始人李彦宏卸任百度云计算技术（北京）有限公司执行董事一事，百度方面表示：相关工商注册信息变更，属正常公司行为，不涉及百度智能云管理层变化。此外，根据天眼查信息，刘辉卸任百度云总经理一职，新增崔珊珊为总经理、执行董事。同时，百度云法定代表人也发生变更，刘辉退出，由崔珊珊接任。此前，百度曾宣布崔珊珊全面负责百度人力资源工作。 8点1氪，今日言论。香港交易所集团行政总裁李小加说，决定放弃向伦敦证交所提出收购要约，因未能取得伦敦证交所管理层方面的积极回应。这不是一个容易的决定，放弃重大的战略机遇固然可惜，但却是最符合我们股东利益的决定，我们不得不忍痛放弃。未来几年，将继续从立足中国、连接全球和拥抱科技三个方向积极推进港交所的战略规划。

昨天，据道琼斯报道，腾讯将向VIPKID投资1.5亿美元，估值45亿美元。36氪就此向接近消息的核心信源求证，该投资金额和估值都获得确认。这意味着，VIPKID自去年年中开启的新一轮融资，经历诸多波折之后，终于完成。新一轮融资敲定，但VIPKID整个融资小组的核心高管，却在短时间内相继提请离职，36氪向多位业内人士咨询，对方都表示原因不详。 36氪发现，京东拼购公众号、小程序日前已更名为京喜，京东的京，喜欢的喜，而9月17号，京东拼购App ios端也已做同步更名。更名只是第一步，此前京东高管还曾释放微信一级入口更新的信号。京东零售集团轮值CEO徐雷曾在今年二季度财报会议上指出，今年10月1号前后，京东将升级微信的一级入口，全新打造一个专门针对微信生态，尤其是面对女性和低线市场的新模式。在今年618启动会上，徐雷还表示，京东将利用微信一级入口及微信市场的海量用户等独特资源，打造区别于京东现有场景和模式的全新平台。 抖音日前上线了“日结”功能，不管是个人主播还是公会主播，每天下播后就可以与平台结算收益，目前该功能已经上线一周。日结功能会根据场次实时结算主播收益，下播即可提现。对于想要扩充内容生态的抖音来说，日结功能的上线无疑会吸引更多主播的入驻。每天都能看到收入进账并提现比月结更加实在。 小黄车ofo又搬家了。从2014年创立至今，这次已是ofo第五次搬家。这一次，ofo离开了众多互联网企业云集的中关村，甚至连去向都没有对外公开披露。此外，ofo现在还有200多名员工，除了原有的业务，还在积极尝试智能电动车等新业务，谋求出路。查询发现，截至9月18号，仍有超1500万用户在排队等待退押金。 最新发布的iPhone 11系列今天正式开售。经销商透露，最受追捧的iPhone 11 Pro和iPhone 11 Pro Max的暗夜绿色版本目前已经要加价近1000元才能买到。知名苹果分析师郭明錤说，苹果预售火热背后，一是iPhone11系列价格上的下调，二是iPhone6、6s、7系列用户进入换机周期。预售的火热将有可能延续下去。 印度政府将下令，禁止电子烟在印度的生产、制造、进出口、运输、销售、储藏及广告。印度政府内阁已经批准这一禁令。在这个禁令宣布之前，印度已经有15个州和1个联盟领土禁止使用电子烟。全国范围的禁令生效后，初犯将获一年监禁或10万卢比，约合1万人民币的罚款，再犯最多可能会被监禁三年或罚款50万卢比，约合5万元人民币。 据德国汽车周刊报道，戴姆勒才刚完成内燃发动机系列的更新不久。但根据最新的发展规划，电动车将成为戴姆勒当下绝对研发中心，而传统燃油发动机的研发则被暂停。戴姆勒研发负责人向媒体表示，未来戴姆勒的研发重心将转向电驱动和电池。

In episode 47 of TechBuzz China, co-hosts Ying-Ying Lu and Rui Ma dive into a topic they have been wanting to cover for a while now: Chinese educational technology (edtech). Specifically, they focus on VIPKid, a company that has an incredible number of competitors but is by far the largest in terms of scale for its cross-border model of English-language instruction. Notably, 8 of the 12 startup unicorns categorized as edtech by CBInsights are from China — and this does not include the number of publicly listed Chinese education companies in the U.S. Our co-hosts explain that edtech (alongside the recent TechBuzz topics of online brokerages, e-cigarettes, plastic surgery, and e-sports livestreaming) is yet another example of an industry that is thriving in China but is either not widely reported on or would not work well in other markets.Rui and Ying-Ying begin by exploring the landscape for English learning in China, in the context of edtech. They remind our listeners that while over 300,000 students from China study in the U.S. every year, this demographic is a drop in the bucket as compared with the 1.4 billion Chinese citizens who are alive today. The reality is that the country as a whole ranks low in terms of education attainment: The average Chinese person has only had 7.5 years of formal schooling. Of today's Chinese millennials, almost 20 percent have college degrees, already a sharp increase from the less than 5 percent of Chinese people who are college educated and now in their fifties and sixties. These and other trends, combined with a highly regulated education sector in China, mean that the “TTE” — test prep, tutoring, and extracurricular activities — market for K12 in China is an enormous $18 billion opportunity.Listen to find out: Just how much are Chinese parents spending on extracurricular tutoring for their kids — and how does that compare with the spending of parents here in the U.S.? How much of that funding is going toward English-language tutoring, and what are the reasons behind the Chinese obsession with learning English? How does this all provide context for the legend of 36-year-old VIPKid founder Cindy Mi, a high school dropout who then made her way to an elite M.B.A. program? How did the company first gain traction, and what are its curriculum and business models like today? How did VIPKid come to raise over $800 million from the likes of Sequoia, Tencent, Sinovation, and Coatue, and how did it come to generate at least half a billion dollars of annual revenue with over 600,000 paying customers? What are some of Rui and Ying-Ying's predictions about the macro factors that may impact VIPKid's business in the coming years?As always, you can find these stories and more at pandaily.com.

If you guys are liking the Blogger Genius, please head on over to iTunes and review it, write a review or just even rate it, I would love it. Jillian Tohber Leslie 0:42 Okay, today I've got a really cool episode. Today I am interviewing a woman named Max Bonds. She is the founder of a site called Tried and True Mom Jobs. Jillian Tohber Leslie 0:56 She wanted to leave her corporate job after having children. She didn't know how, she was looking for resources online. And when she couldn't find any she created this site. Jillian Tohber Leslie 1:05 In this blog she shares tips on how to find jobs for stay-at-home moms. What's cool in this episode is we get into how much moms are making working at home. Jillian Tohber Leslie 1:18 She's got some great tips. So without further ado, here is the episode. Max, welcome to the show. Max Bonds 1:26 Thank you. I'm happy to be here. Jillian Tohber Leslie 1:28 Alright, so I don't know anything about timelines. When did you start Tried and True Mom Jobs? And can you tell us how that how that happened? Jillian Tohber Leslie 1:42 I know you were working in corporate and then you said, enough. A need to find a job while staying home with your kids Max Bonds 1:47 Right. So, it first came about because when I became pregnant with my second child, I knew that I want to stay home. I was already missing out on so much with my son who's already two years old. And I know new that I needed to stay home. Max Bonds 2:01 But I needed also a way to make money to help contribute financially because we were living on two incomes. Jillian Tohber Leslie 2:10 Got it. How long ago was this? How many years? Max Bonds 2:14 I launched the blog at the end of January of this year. 2018. Jillian Tohber Leslie 2:18 No way. Oh, my gosh. Okay. Well, what's your job? Before this? Max Bonds 2:22 I was a marketing communications manager at a large manufacturer. Jillian Tohber Leslie 2:26 Wow. Max Bonds 2:27 Yeah. So and my background is in marketing, and I enjoy what I did. But I would have enjoyed being home with my kids more. So I knew that corporate life was no longer for me after I had my kids. Jillian Tohber Leslie 2:40 Right. So you said, Okay, I see these women, you know, moms making money online. I need to be doing that. Max Bonds 2:47 Yes. Jillian Tohber Leslie 2:51 Tell me, how did you then come up with this idea? Max Bonds 2:55 Sure. So I was looking for ways to make money from home online. And I would see the articles about ideas that you can do to make money from home, but I didn't see how do I get started? Was it legitimate? Max Bonds 3:09 I want to see a success story from a mom, who was able to do this today and make money while raising kids. And most importantly, how much money were they making? Max Bonds 3:18 I didn't see that anywhere. There wasn't one website that I could go to, to find all this information. So I created one. Creating a blog to solve your own problem Jillian Tohber Leslie 3:29 I love it. Max Bonds 3:30 Yeah, thank you. Jillian Tohber Leslie 3:32 In your research, how did you think you would go about monetizing a blog and making an income? Max Bonds 3:43 To be honest, I had no idea. I recently created our website for our church. So I had a little bit experience doing that. And I just was looking for all this information. Max Bonds 3:56 And then it just occurred to me, since there's nothing out there, I might as well just create one. I didn't have any thoughts of how would I monetize it. How would I get traffic and even having a background in marketing, I didn't even think about how I would market it, I just kind of just did it. Max Bonds 4:13 So I did it. But I was lacking success stories for mom. So I had to reach out to moms who were actually working from home. So it was a lot involved in what I was doing. Max Bonds 4:28 But I just knew that I want to do this, because I knew how badly I needed this information, I was desperate to find a way to make money from home and raise my kids at the same time. And I knew that there are other moms out there. That wanted the same information. Jillian Tohber Leslie 4:40 Got it. So are you pregnant at this point, and starting this site and working your full time job? Max Bonds 4:46 Yes and I didn't even think of the blog idea for about maybe four or five months within my pregnancy. Because during that four to five months, I was just searching online for anything that I could do to make money from home. Max Bonds 5:01 I didn't even think about blogging, I was just looking for ways to make money. I just knew that I had to make some kind of money, but I didn't know what. Creating a resource for other stay-at-home moms Max Bonds 5:09 And since after searching for months and not finding any success stories from other moms, I just said, All right, it just occurred to me that I'm just going to create a website where I can find all this information in one spot, and just create a resource for moms like myself to go to for when we are looking for ways to make money from home. Jillian Tohber Leslie 5:29 What I love about this is you had a problem and you built a business solving it. Max Bonds 5:36 Yeah, thank you. Jillian Tohber Leslie 5:37 You weren't going, what could I do? Like, what's an idea here? You know, again, always starting with the problem. Max Bonds 5:46 Yeah, exactly. And I never thought I would be a mommy blogger. So I don't know what I will blog about. Max Bonds 5:53 It's funny because I'm a marketing communications manager. But I'm not even a good writer. I have my mom review my articles before I post them because she's good at writing. Max Bonds 6:02 But that's the great thing about blogging, you don't have to be like the best writer out there when it comes to blogging, just kind of talk in conversation and give good information, it doesn't have to be perfect. Jillian Tohber Leslie 6:14 Absolutely. I think the hardest thing about it is just starting. Max Bonds 6:20 Exactly, yes. I totally agree. Jillian Tohber Leslie 6:22 Okay, so you start to research this and tell me how you research, then how you were able to find content for your blog. And one last thing I want to say which is you are your avatar? Max Bonds 6:36 Yes. Correct. And so I kind of got lucky. Facebook groups have been just amazing. I feel like it's this underground world where every there's so much great information that so many people don't even know about. But I joined this Facebook group called Boss Moms. Jillian Tohber Leslie 6:53 Okay, I've heard of that. I was on her podcast. Max Bonds 6:58 Oh, awesome. And I love the group, it's a group of supportive women helping one another out. Max Bonds 7:06 I was searching through the search tool just trying to find out I can't remember what search term I chose that I was looking up women who work from home or something like that. Max Bonds 7:19 I found a thread where someone had already asked if they could interview some stay-at-home moms who work and it was a popular thread, where there were boss moms giving their email addresses saying what they did, and that they would love to be featured in that article. Max Bonds 7:38 So I reached out to them as well. And I said I told them what I was doing I want to help other moms like them be able to find out what they did, how did they get started, and how much money they made and they were very transparent. Max Bonds 7:51 I was glad to see that they weren't holding back on which they made, because I know sometimes that's very personal they don't want to share that information, but they let me have it. Max Bonds 8:05 It was awesome because they helped me decide what I want to do. And I knew it would help others try and find their avenue trying to work from home. Jillian Tohber Leslie 8:14 Okay, now you have to share how much are they making? How much money moms are making working from home Max Bonds 8:18 Okay, so I interviewed this one Etsy seller, I call her a pro Etsy seller. Jillian Tohber Leslie 8:25 Okay. So she's selling on Etsy, is it product she's making or is it product she's finding in China? Max Bonds 8:32 It's products she makes herself, she used to be a graphic designer. And she makes $300,000 a year on Etsy with her husband. Her husband was able to quit his job and work full time with her as they raise a kid together. Max Bonds 8:48 So she gave me her full schedule her day to day schedule, and how she was able to do it, how she sells on Etsy she's able to promote her items. She gave me everything. Jillian Tohber Leslie 9:00 What kind of items, I know she's making them. But what are they? Max Bonds 9:03 Yeah, they are like stamps, they are rubber stamps for weddings and different occasions and invitations I believe and that's what she does. Jillian Tohber Leslie 9:17 Wow. Max Bonds 9:18 Yeah. So go figure. Jillian Tohber Leslie 9:20 Wow, tell me more. Max Bonds 9:26 I found a mom, her name was Brittany Sutton. And she makes $1,700 dollars a month working only two hours a day for VIPkid. Max Bonds 9:36 And that's just, you know, for some people, that's just enough, just two hours a day, just teaching kids English in China. That's basically what they do for VIPkid. Jillian Tohber Leslie 9:45 So VIPkid, so she's online teaching Chinese kids how to speak English. Max Bonds 9:51 Yes. And it is also great, because you don't have to worry about her kids. So, you know, in China, the time difference is right. So I think she works from like four in the morning to six in the morning. Max Bonds 10:07 And so she's able to do it when her kids are asleep to teach kids how to speak English. And she has enough time to take care of a kid and do whatever else she wants to do. Jillian Tohber Leslie 10:15 Oh my god. Give me another example. Max Bonds 10:17 And then another one was an interior designer that I had the pleasure of interviewing. That makes I don't know exactly how much, but I do know that it's a six figure income. Max Bonds 10:28 And she just gave me the whole story on how she was able to do it. How she got started. And it's just a great interview. Max Bonds 10:36 And another one, there's a boss mom who makes over $200,000 freelance writing. Jillian Tohber Leslie 10:47 And how does she find her clients? Do you know? Max Bonds 10:51 Of course, she has a course. And she tells you all about it. But it's a free workshop to where she will show you about how to get started, and how to find clients, things like that. Jillian Tohber Leslie 11:02 And what is her name in case people want to know. Max Bonds 11:05 Holly Johnson. Jillian Tohber Leslie 11:07 Great. We'll put that in the show notes. Any others that are interesting? Max Bonds 11:11 Um, you know, Corky, I'm sure you've heard of her. She's a virtual assistant, And she created a course to how to get become a virtual assistant in less than 30 days. Max Bonds 11:24 And there's also some jobs that companies that are hiring right now, virtual assists with minimal experience that I do list on my website as well. Max Bonds 11:36 And I also do make sure that all the companies that I put on my website, they have to have a four to five or higher rating on Glassdoor. Max Bonds 11:45 I don't want companies on there that don't have a good reputation. So I do make sure whatever I list is thoroughly research before I put anything on my website. I want to make sure that it's tried and true. Jillian Tohber Leslie 11:58 Okay. So this is terrific. All right. So moms out there, if you're looking for ways to make money, definitely head to Max's site. Jillian Tohber Leslie 12:07 My question for you is, so you're doing this, right. So you start and you go, Well, I need to figure out how to make money online at home, and you start interviewing these women. Jillian Tohber Leslie 12:18 At what point did you say, No, I'm not going to be let's say, tutoring kids in China or selling on Etsy, I'm going to work on my blog. Max Bonds 12:30 Right. So I'm interviewing these amazing women and I love what they're doing, but it's not what I want to do. Since it's not what I want to do, that doesn't mean anything. There are people who still want to do that there are other people who wanted to those things. Max Bonds 12:47 So I wanted to make sure that I was sharing this information, but I'm still kind of searching for what to do and researching all this stuff. Looking at other bloggers' income reports online Max Bonds 12:56 I keep seeing blogging, and I'm seeing these blogging income reports. And I'm seeing Michelle Schroeder makes $50,000 a month. And that was just a while ago. So I mean, she's making even more than that now. Max Bonds 13:09 And I'm thinking why can I do that? I mean, I know I have a marketing background, but I think anyone can do this. I think that blogging will work for you if you just are persistent and you are diligent about being focused on what you want to do. Max Bonds 13:25 And I believe that anyone can do this but you just have to really want to do it because there will be days where you just really want to give up. Jillian Tohber Leslie 13:32 Now here's a question. Are these bloggers, how are they monetizing? How is this woman getting to $50,000 a month. Is it through ads is it through affiliates is it through selling virtual courses? What do you find? Max Bonds 13:49 So I'm finding for myself she talked mainly about affiliate marketing. I don't know if she's doing more now than that. Max Bonds 13:56 But also Carly Gamble I believe is her last name, she makes a lot of her money through ads and when I saw that, that was what intrigued me. Like if I can just get people to my website and make money off of that alone that would be great. Learning about affiliate marketing as a blogger Max Bonds 14:10 On top of that, learning more and more about this blogging world I found out about affiliate marketing so that's kind of how I'm thinking that this blogging thing could work. Max Bonds 14:21 I also interviewed two bookkeepers who are stay at home moms, and one of the moms has nine kids, homeschools six, and she is still able to make money as a bookkeeper part time. Jillian Tohber Leslie 14:36 That's amazing. Max Bonds 14:37 Yes. So these are just amazing stories that I just can't believe that these women are able to do these things, and still bring money in and raise kids. Max Bonds 14:52 So she took a course. So it's a bookkeepers course, and the courses are quite expensive. It's $2,000, but these two moms, and there are other moms have taken the course. But I interviewed them specifically to see is this course really is something that a mom could do and actually be able to build a business after taking? And their answer was yes. Max Bonds 15:14 And they told me all about their journey taking the course and how they have succeeded after the course. And I became an affiliate for this course. Because I knew that it was tried and true. Max Bonds 15:27 And I just had one person sign up for the course, after reading the success story, from those moms, and that was $500. Jillian Tohber Leslie 15:34 Wow. Max Bonds 15:35 Just from one person taking the course. And I did want to make sure that I'm not just trying to sell any old course. This is the actual course that people have taken and have become successful after taking and that's why I'm referring this information. So I'm able to give good information and still profit at the same time. Jillian Tohber Leslie 15:56 So you then right now, are you monetizing mostly via affiliates? Max Bonds 16:02 Affiliates and ads. I was able to join Mediavine, which is a higher paying at network. So after joining them, I was able to greatly increase my earnings through ads. Jillian Tohber Leslie 16:18 Got it. And how are you driving traffic to your site? Driving traffic to your blog with Pinterest Max Bonds 16:24 So primarily, and shockingly, Pinterest. Jillian Tohber Leslie 16:28 Yes. Not shockingly. Max Bonds 16:31 You know, it was really a shock to me, because I always as a personal user, will go to Pinterest for home decor ideas or fashion, inspiration, or quotes. Max Bonds 16:44 I would never think that Pinterest was a way for the personal finance niche. I just, I would never go to Pinterest for those reasons. Max Bonds 16:51 But I'm finding out just because I don't, doesn't mean other people don't, it has been a great traffic source for me to talk about these success stories from these moms. And people really want to know, they want inspiration. Max Bonds 17:05 And they want to know, how do you make money from home, people really just want to know how. Jillian Tohber Leslie 17:09 Well, especially I think there's a book that I highly recommend. I read it when I was pregnant. So 11 years ago, and it's called The Female Brain. Jillian Tohber Leslie 17:19 And what it does is it goes through a woman's life, starting at birth, what happens for females, and there was this chapter about pregnancy and how your brain gets rewired when you're pregnant. How having children changes your life and your brain Jillian Tohber Leslie 17:33 And I kind of read it. And I was like, whatever. And then I had my daughter. And I was like, Oh, my God, my brain has changed. Like, I love this little person so much. Jillian Tohber Leslie 17:44 And all the things that I valued before this, I don't value in the same way. And that's how we ended up starting Catch My Party. I was a writer in Hollywood, a working writer in Hollywood. Jillian Tohber Leslie 17:59 And I just, I had my daughter and I said, You know what? Like, Hollywood's not as cool. And I remember thinking, Oh, my God and I turned to my husband. And I said, I just want to take our fate in our own hands. And I don't want to have to answer to anybody. And I just wanted to start a business with you. Max Bonds 18:21 Wow. Jillian Tohber Leslie 18:21 And I felt braver. But in hindsight, I can't believe that I did this. But at the time, I felt like I had no choice. It was like, I have to do this. Jillian Tohber Leslie 18:36 So I get that struggle. You know, you're working in corporate America. So I wasn't even working in corporate America. But let's say you are, and you're just kind of grinding it out. But you know, you're getting promoted or whatever. And then all of a sudden, you have children and everything shifts. Max Bonds 18:52 Yeah, that's totally true. I didn't want to travel anymore. I wanted to be home, I want to come home to my kids. I didn't want to be out of town and not be with my kids anymore. Max Bonds 19:04 My aspirations in the corporate world were just no longer I didn't even care for those things anymore. Jillian Tohber Leslie 19:10 I remember I was nursing my baby, you know, still nursing her, so she was an infant, and I'm in a meeting a Paramount and you'll be like, Oh, my God, that's so cool. Jillian Tohber Leslie 19:20 And it was cool. But it was cooler again, before I have my daughter. And I'm sitting in the meeting. And the way that meetings work in Hollywood is everybody kind of like, you kind of talk about chuffa in the beginning. What movies you've seen, what TV shows your liking, that kind of thing before you get down to work. Jillian Tohber Leslie 19:38 And here I am my boobs are so filled with milk, and I'm going in my head. I'm going, you guys I don't care about this anymore. I have something. I have a more important job right now. Yeah, like, I'm a mom. I Lainey's mom. And I've got to get home to her. Jillian Tohber Leslie 19:53 So I remember just going through the motions thinking, can we get this thing started, and afterwards, driving home and thinking I just need to be with my baby. And this was not me. This was not who I was. Max Bonds 20:07 Yes, yes. You change. Definitely. I can never be the same. Jillian Tohber Leslie 20:11 Never. And, still to this day. So anyway, so I feel like I relate to this need that women have. It's almost like putting on a sweater that doesn't fit anymore. Jillian Tohber Leslie 20:25 And the desperate need for moms to take off this itchy, tight sweater and find something that works for them. Max Bonds 20:31 Yeah, I love it. Yes, that's it. Jillian Tohber Leslie 20:39 But yet women need money. And especially if you're a dual income family. You can't just, you know, have the luxury of saying, Well, I'm just going to stop working. Max Bonds 20:48 Right. Exactly. Right. And you still have to bring it and even if it's just $1,000 or I mean, I don't know someone situation. Everyone's situation is different. But just any type of extra income to help offset from costs will help anything really. Jillian Tohber Leslie 21:05 Absolutely. I also think though, that like for me, I would not have been okay emotionally without a something outside of being a mom. Max Bonds 21:21 I was just about to say that. Yes, I totally agree. Max Bonds 21:26 It's important for us moms, and even as women to have some kind of creative outlet. Because we love our kids. But I mean, during that time, we do have time or at night at night or early in the morning. Max Bonds 21:39 We do have time to do something that we want to do for ourselves. And I think it's healthy as even a mom and a woman to be able to have something of our own. Jillian Tohber Leslie 21:48 Absolutely. Because at a certain point, I could not sing "Wheels on the Bus" anymore. You know what I mean? I had to have something adult. Something that was was mine. And I still hate that song. Max Bonds 22:04 Yeah, and I had this "Baby Shark" song in my head all the time. Jillian Tohber Leslie 22:07 I know the Baby Shark song! I get it. I get it. So I agree. And again, for some women, it's enough to do the Baby Shark song and Wheels on the Bus. But for others, you know, we need to kind of find what works for us. Max Bonds 22:22 Yep. I totally agree. Jillian Tohber Leslie 22:24 Okay, so for you, then you're doing ads, you're doing affiliates. Any other way that you're making money? Max Bonds 22:30 I did do one sponsored posts. And it was my first time doing it. But it was like the easiest $250 I ever made. Doing sponsored posts as a blogger Max Bonds 22:39 And it was actually an article that was very relevant to my audience on how you can make money by doing laundry from home, go figure. Max Bonds 22:48 You can start your own business. I get it seems like as some people are working, and they have their busy lives. They don't have time to do laundry. So of course, they the market is out there for people who are looking for people to do their laundry for them. Max Bonds 23:03 So I'm that inspired laundry care is the business. And you can start your own business, doing laundry for others and make $500 a week actually. Jillian Tohber Leslie 23:16 So it's like Uber for laundry. Max Bonds 23:18 Yeah, exactly. Jillian Tohber Leslie 23:19 That's so interesting. Yeah. And what would you say? Okay, so you did your sponsored post, you would like to be doing more I take it. Max Bonds 23:27 Yeah. So after they approached me and asked to do a sponsorship, a sponsored post, and I wrote the article after working with them and getting information. So it was relevant to my audience. So I'm definitely willing to do more sponsored posts for anything that's relevant to my audience. Jillian Tohber Leslie 23:47 Got it. And what would you say is the most popular job, I don't know if you can tell on your end. But that moms, you know what articles they're reading on your site, or whatever. What is resonating in terms of Tried and True Mom Jobs? Max Bonds 24:04 So right now, what's going viral on Pinterest right now is the VIPkid job where Brittany works two hours a day, making $1700 a month. Max Bonds 24:20 And Nikki who makes $300,000 a year on Etsy. Those are the one of my two popular, most popular articles right now. Jillian Tohber Leslie 24:34 And how is it going for you? So you haven't even been doing this a year? What a blogger can make in her first year blogging Max Bonds 24:39 Yeah, you know, it's, it's done very well, actually. And I'm probably making maybe about $1,000 a month now. And I started really promoting it in, I would say March on Pinterest. And that is my biggest traffic source. Max Bonds 25:01 I started heavily promoting it in March on Pinterest. And I've seen great success by joining MediaVine within three months of really promoting it on Pinterest, which I didn't have a lot. You have to get 25,000 sessions or more so in order to join MediaVine. Max Bonds 25:23 So in that short time, I was able to have some posts go viral about saving money, and work from home jobs, and it just kind of took off. Jillian Tohber Leslie 25:34 Pretty amazing. Yeah. And then you also talk about budgeting on your site. Sharing budgeting tips as a personal finance blogger Max Bonds 25:40 Yes, I'm a very frugal person. That's just my nature. I don't want to spend money on anything that I don't have to. So I guess I have a lot of experiences of how to save money that others aren't doing, or they just don't really know about. So I share that on the side as well. Max Bonds 25:58 And that's kind of the how I want to educate a lot of moms on ways to make money, save and invest so they can become financially free. Max Bonds 26:09 And I really just want to get across that they can really have the best of both worlds. You can make money and still be able to stay home and raise your kids. Jillian Tohber Leslie 26:18 Have you thought about doing couponing? Because those are big sites. Max Bonds 26:22 You know what? No, I have not. And I'm just starting to actually do some couponing by looking through the paper and things like that. So yes, I guess I am. Max Bonds 26:35 I love the Ibotta app, I think it's so it's so amazing. So easy. Just how you can just take pictures or take a picture of you receipt by downloading offers that you already buy anyway, and getting a little kickback for that. How to get more Pinterest followers with the MiloTree Pinterest pop-up Jillian Tohber Leslie 26:49 Right. Right. And then you also have a whole section on blogger tools. And I think you're a MiloTree affiliate. Max Bonds 26:58 Yes. Oh, I love MiloTree it has contributed to all of my followers on Pinterest. And I have over 3,000 followers on Pinterest now. Max Bonds 27:08 I think the first week I got over 100 followers after joining MiloTree, and I just always hear new bloggers. Well, I consider myself a new blogger. But people who are just starting out, how they don't know how to get followers. And that's the first thing I always tell people. MiloTree is definitely what you want, because Pinterest make so many changes. Max Bonds 27:30 Now, I don't even know how people get followers without a tool like MiloTree. Jillian Tohber Leslie 27:35 Right? It is tricky because Pinterest isn't really like the cult of personality that say Instagram is, where, oh, I want to follow that person. Jillian Tohber Leslie 27:48 On Pinterest. It's a little bit more of a disconnect. Like, I like these recipes. But it's not like I'm identifying that recipe with this person. Max Bonds 27:57 Exactly. You're only going to that article because of the of that pin you created. Max Bonds 28:06 So MiloTree is a great reminder to say, Hey, you like this content, follow me for more stuff like this. Jillian Tohber Leslie 28:11 Exactly. The one thing that I am seeing more and more, especially as Pinterest has told us a little bit about their algorithm. Jillian Tohber Leslie 28:21 Remember, Pinterest shows your pins to your followers first. So you want those followers to be really engaged followers. Because if your followers like those pins, then you will get broader reach with those pins. Pinterest then goes Oh, these are good will show these to more people. Max Bonds 28:40 Yes, and I attribute Pinterest followers even sometimes a little bit even more important than email subscribers. Max Bonds 28:46 Because like for example, if someone joins my email list, they'll never really know what I've put out there in the past because I'm not going to talk about old things I've talked about before. Max Bonds 28:58 But if they are my Pinterest followers, they're always going to see pins from my older blog posts that they may be interested in. And just stay up to date on everything that I've done and all my pins and that. Max Bonds 29:11 But my email followers will never get all that information. So I do think Pinterest followers are very important especially for the way I market my business Jillian Tohber Leslie 29:19 This is interesting and what are you doing then with email? Max Bonds 29:24 The way I'm using email right now is just keeping them updated so whenever I have new article about something, I'll share it with my email list, or if I find a new way to make money, or to save I'll share share with them so I just keep them updated on the blog and what articles we have going on. Creating a free course with affiliate links Jillian Tohber Leslie 29:41 Are you thinking of creating a course or creating products that you can sell? Max Bonds 29:48 You know I thought about that and I think what I do want to work on is creating a blog course on how to get started, because I've learned so much in such a short amount of time that and I've done pretty well and such short amount of time, that I want to create a free course for anyone. Max Bonds 30:05 Because I know when you're trying to start a blog, the last thing you want to do is spend money on something that you're not getting money from, so I definitely want to create something that's free. And if I profit off of it it would be through Affiliate Marketing. Max Bonds 30:18 So for example, if you got to create a website I would recommend SiteGround that's who I host my site through. Jillian Tohber Leslie 30:27 I recommend them. We don't use SiteGround because we use Amazon Web Services because we have a big site with Catch My Party and stuff. But we love SiteGround we think are really great. Max Bonds 30:39 Yes, they are. And they're probably one of the most inexpensive hosts out there that has the great support. Jillian Tohber Leslie 30:49 Definitely. Okay, sorry. So you were going to do a course or you're going to put together some resources that are free, but then monetize via affiliates. Correct? Max Bonds 31:02 Yes. Jillian Tohber Leslie 31:03 You know what, I was just thinking of top of my head, you could so do a lead magnet, like a one page lead magnet to get people on your list that just says Here are the top five ways to make money as a mom blogger or is as a mom as a stay at home mom. Max Bonds 31:19 I love that. Jillian Tohber Leslie 31:21 You know, you can do all these kind of interesting things, like do somebody laundry or teach English to Chinese kids, or whatever it is just boom, down and dirty. Like here, go do this. You'll start making money right away. Max Bonds 31:35 I'm writing this down right now. I love that. Jillian Tohber Leslie 31:40 Because I think it is hard to, like you were saying, if you just want to jump in. How do you jump in? And where's the low hanging fruit? Max Bonds 31:54 Right, exactly. Jillian Tohber Leslie 31:56 Well, I think this is just so great. Do you have time to be putting together a course? Jillian Tohber Leslie 32:05 How does it work for you with two young kids? Where are you finding the time? How to manage your time as a mom blogger? Max Bonds 32:11 It took me some time to really figure out how to use my time management skills the best. Max Bonds 32:16 I finally feel like I've gotten into a rhythm where it works. So I can do two hours in the morning before my kids get up. My kids are great nappers. They nap around two to three hours. So that's another time that I work. Max Bonds 32:32 And then at nighttime, so my husband comes home, I devote some time to our family. And then after I put the kids to bed, and spend some time with my husband, then I'll open my laptop up, and then just work until I can't work anymore, and then have to fall asleep. Jillian Tohber Leslie 32:47 So how many hours a week would you say you work on your business? Max Bonds 32:50 I would say 40. And it's possible because just early in the morning, two hours here, so two hours in the morning, two hours during that time, and then whatever I can do for the rest during the nighttime, I just work. Max Bonds 33:06 And then I also work the weekends the same kind of schedule. So the one thing while we're on your own businesses, if you don't run it, it won't run. Max Bonds 33:18 I just pretty much work as much as I can. When the kids are sleeping. I really pride myself in trying to be an intentional mom and being there and not being a mom that just gives them my phone or whatever, just so I can finish some work. Max Bonds 33:34 They are definitely my priority. And I just I make it work by just staying up late. And getting up in the morning and utilizing that time. Max Bonds 33:43 And one thing I do though, I will clean and cook and do everything I do when the kids are awake. And then that's when I just do everything that needs to do for the house as well. Max Bonds 33:53 So that's all the time that I had to do those things that I know a lot of moms do when the kids are asleep. But I just do it when they're awake because when they're asleep, that's my work time. Jillian Tohber Leslie 34:05 I get it. So if you had a piece of advice based on all of the research that you've done, and also starting your own business, so let's say I'm a mom, and I'm working in a bad corporate corporate job that doesn't fit me anymore. And I really want to be home with my kids. What piece of advice would you have for them? Max Bonds 34:26 Well, I would say check out Tried and True Mom Jobs! Max Bonds 34:29 But honestly, I would say that because every job is different for everyone. I know that I have a list of 20 ways that moms are making money from home. Max Bonds 34:37 But the only one that I'm really doing is blogging and affiliate marketing. Because it's just something that works for me and what works for me, that may not work for you. Max Bonds 34:47 So I would definitely check out the website and see how moms are able to do it, you can check out success stories and and see how they are able to do it while raising kids at the same time. Max Bonds 35:00 And just the job itself, I'm being a virtual assistant. That was definitely something that I was considering that I would have done had I not found blogging, because a virtual assistant can be so many things. Max Bonds 35:14 I actually have a list on there of 150 virtual assistant skills that you could have that you could service out to others. So I'll honestly just say to check out the website and see what it is that you think that you will want to do. Max Bonds 35:31 And then you can find out how to do it and that into start from there. And I'll continue into at ways that moms can make money from home, like I'm there. Max Bonds 35:42 I know that a lot of moms that are business coaches or life coaches that make money doing that. So I'm looking for someone that can review there. Max Bonds 35:51 I'm looking for a mom who's doing that today that I can interview and share with others to show how you can make money from home. Jillian Tohber Leslie 36:05 Are you continuing to interview moms like, Is that still the bread and butter of your site? Max Bonds 36:10 Yes, it definitely is that and my saving money articles, I feel like that's what people are most interested in. How to get interviewed as a mom entrepreneur on the Tried and True Mom Jobs blog Jillian Tohber Leslie 36:23 Okay, so let's talk about how can people reach out to you and are you looking for people to interview. Max Bonds 36:29 Yes, I'm always looking for people to interview, especially if you have a success story. Max Bonds 36:35 So if you make money from home, I just want to hear from you. I want to know how you're doing it, and if I can share your story with other moms just like myself, and looking for ways to make money from home. Max Bonds 36:46 So my email address is Max@triedandtruemomjobs.com.

And they can find you on Pinterest and Instagram and all of those places? Max Bonds 37:13 Yes, and I just recently joined Twitter. I actually fell off on Twitter. I didn't realize that it was still a big thing for the personal finance niche. So I just created a profile that I'm going to start being more active in as well. Jillian Tohber Leslie 37:30 Awesome.
