TeachX & Your Marketing: How It Really Works (So You Don’t Get Surprised Later)

TeachX won’t magically bring you students—and that’s okay. In this article I explain what TeachX actually does (bookings, leads, admin) and what you still need to own: simple, realistic marketing steps to get more people seeing your profile and booking classes with you.

TeachX & Your Marketing: How It Really Works (So You Don’t Get Surprised Later)

I want to be very honest with you about something, because I’d rather you hear it clearly from me than be disappointed later.

TeachX is not a magical “bring me students while I sleep” machine.

TeachX is more like:

Your online shopfront
Your booking and payments system
Your place to organise classes, courses, workshops, memberships, etc.

The part where people actually discover you – that’s still in your hands. And that’s not a bad thing. In fact, it’s where you have the most control.

This blog is just to explain that clearly, and give you some practical ideas you can start using right away.




What TeachX Does vs What You Do

Let’s break it into two sides so it’s less confusing.

What you do: getting people to notice you

This is everything related to visibility:

Posting on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn
Sharing in WhatsApp groups, Facebook groups, Reddit, Mumsnet, etc.
Putting your details on classified websites and local blogs
Printing a few posters or flyers for supermarkets, schools, cafés
Running Google or social media ads if you want to
Creating simple content (short videos, tips, posts) that show what you teach

This part is usually called marketing: it’s basically you saying to the world,

“Hi, I teach this. If you need help, I’m here.”

No platform can replace that completely. People still need to see you somewhere first.




What TeachX does: making it easy to book you

Once someone is interested and clicks your link, this is where TeachX kicks in:

We show your profile (bio, subjects, prices, timings)
We let them book a trial, package, course, membership, event, etc.
We help you capture leads so you don’t lose interested people
We help you stay organised with your schedule, payments and students

So a simple way to look at it is:

You focus on pushing people towards your link. TeachX focuses on what happens after they click.

You don’t have to become a marketing expert overnight, but you will need to do some work to be visible. TeachX is here to support you once that attention starts coming in.




Everywhere You Are Online, Your TeachX Link Should Be There

Your TeachX profile is your online storefront. If someone finds you anywhere on the internet, they shouldn’t have to ask, “How do I book you?”

Here are a few easy wins:

Instagram & TikTok

Put your TeachX link in your bio
At the end of a reel or story, just say something simple like: “If you’d like classes with me, the link to book is in my bio.”

YouTube

In your video descriptions, add a line like: “Book 1:1 sessions with me here: [TeachX link]”

LinkedIn & Facebook

Add your TeachX link in your About section.
Occasionally share a post like: “I’m currently open for [math / English / coding] students.

WhatsApp

Save your link somewhere easy to copy.
When someone asks about classes, send it and say: “Here’s my TeachX page – you can see options and book a time that suits you.”

Google & Ads

If you ever want to try Google Ads or Instagram Ads, you can point them straight at your TeachX profile. We actually encourage that. The more people see your storefront, the better.




Simple Marketing Actions You Can Start This Week

You don’t need to do everything at once. Just start with a few small, manageable steps.

1. Start with your own circle

Post once on your personal social media: “I’ve started offering [subject] lessons. You can see my profile and book a trial class here: [TeachX link].”
Tell close friends and family on WhatsApp: “If you know anyone who needs help with [subject], feel free to share my TeachX link with them.”

Often your first 1–3 students come from people who already trust you.




2. Join parent and student communities

Look for Facebook groups like:
“Parents in [Your City]”
“[Curriculum] Parents” (IGCSE, IB, CBSE, etc.)
Join the groups and be genuinely helpful:
Answer questions
Share simple tips
Then gently mention: “I also teach this one-on-one. If anyone needs regular support, my TeachX profile is here: [link].”

The goal is to show you’re useful, not to spam links.




3. Use existing study groups

If you’re already in WhatsApp / Telegram / Discord groups:

Help people when they’re stuck.
If someone needs more regular help, you can say: “If you ever want proper classes for this, you can book with me here: [TeachX link].”

Again: help first, link second.




4. List yourself on free classifieds

Sites like OLX, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace (or your local equivalents) are simple but effective.

Create a short listing:

What you teach
Who you teach (age, grade, level)
Online / in-person
A benefit (e.g. “specialising in exam prep”)
And your TeachX link to book

Refresh the listing every few days so it moves back up.




5. Host a small free session

You could run:

A free “exam tips” call
A group Q&A session
A short workshop like “Common mistakes in IELTS writing”

Promote it in:

Your own social media
Parent/student groups

At the end, say:

“If you’d like regular classes, you can book me through my TeachX profile: [link].”

People who felt helped are more likely to continue.




6. Ask for reviews and referrals

When a student or parent is happy, simply say:

“If you’re finding the lessons useful, would you mind leaving a short review on my TeachX profile? It really helps me.”

And maybe:

“If you know anyone else who might need help, feel free to share my TeachX link with them.”

A few kind words from a real parent or student are more powerful than any ad.




Where TeachX Fits in Once People Find You

Once your marketing starts doing its job and people click your link, TeachX helps you with:

A clean profile where they can see what you offer
Easy booking for trials, courses, memberships, workshops, etc.
Capturing leads so you don’t lose them
Keeping your teaching life organised

You don’t have to build a website, manage plugins, or figure out payment systems. You just focus on:

Showing up,
Teaching well,
And doing a bit of consistent marketing.

We’ll quietly do the boring admin in the background.




If You Only Do Three Things After Reading This…

If you’re busy (which you probably are), here are three small actions you can take:

1.Put your TeachX link in your bios (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.).
2.Make one post telling people you’re available for lessons and sharing your link.
3.Ask one happy student/parent for a review on your TeachX profile.

That’s it. No complicated strategy. Just a few tiny moves that can already make a difference.




Final Note

This isn’t me blaming you or saying “you’re not doing enough.” This is just me being transparent about how TeachX fits into your business.

TeachX gives you the tools.
You bring the students’ attention.
Together, we turn that attention into real learning, real progress, and real income for you.

If you ever feel stuck on the marketing side, we’re here to share ideas and help where we can. You’re not alone in this. 💙
