Homeschooling consulting and/or advertising.....?

I am a Master's degreed teacher with 25 years of experience looking to work from home. I would like to serve as a consultant to schools and to homeschool families. Also, I would like to offer specialized tutoring/instruction to homeschool students in my home office. I could also tutor afterschool to any student. My Master's is in counseling, so I could also offer any related service therein. My question is- how do I market this and reach interested students / families? I live in the Houston, Texas area and while I am interested in marketing my services locally, I am not asking for information only specific to Houston - there may be a national way of advertising. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance for your help!

Mary,


There is the possibility that you could build a quality website about homeschooling, etc., and use it to offer your services both locally, nationally, and internationally. It takes a little time to get a full blown business up and running, but with your background you really shouldn't have any trouble.





People type in searches every day for information online - if you had a good content website, your site would come up as a result of the search. (I don't know how much internet experience you have, so don't roll your eyes. ) :-)





I think you have a great idea with a lot of potential. Check out the link in the source box for information on how to build a proper website that would work for your niche.





If you look at my profile, you will see that I have a site of my own though not on as serious a topic (chocolate candy - smile). I had NO website experience, but the tools I used did the techie stuff, and I just did the standard writing, etc. The secret is in building the right kind of site so that you get free targeted traffic courtesy of the search engines.





I wish you success.
