Episode 57: Teacher Turned Visibility Coach: a Conversation with Alissa McDonald




The EDVERYTHING Podcast: For Everything Education show

Summary: <p>For many of us, making our students feel seen and heard is a major priority. After all, we want them to feel valued and to know what they have to offer matters. While it may be easy for ourselves, as the educator in the front of the room, to recognize what we bring to the table inside the classroom, when we leave that environment and enter the supersaturated, competitive space that is Instagram for Teachers, we may find ourselves feeling a bit lost in a sea of seemingly similar voices. How can we find our specialty and deliver our message to those we connect with? Alissa, a teacher turned visibility coach, is ready to share just what it takes to turn that desire into a reality.</p> <p>Alissa is self-taught at finding traction on social, but she approaches it from a business perspective first, given her own background as a small business owner. A once local business owner with her sister, Alissa taught herself the ins and outs of marketing for small businesses, and others started seeking her out so they could follow the same strategy. Nowadays, Alissa is applying this same framework to help fellow teachers grow their side hustle online, helping them with the element they need the most improvement with : getting visible.</p> <p>Links mentioned: </p> <p>Alissa's website:</p> <p><a href="https://alissamcdonald.com/">https://alissamcdonald.com/</a></p> <p>Alissa's Instagram:</p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/teacherbynaptime/">https://www.instagram.com/teacherbynaptime/</a></p> <p>Alissa's Facebook Group: </p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/teacherhustle">https://www.facebook.com/groups/teacherhustle</a></p> <p>Alissa's Podcast: </p> <p><a href="https://alissamcdonald.com/category/podcast/">https://alissamcdonald.com/category/podcast/</a></p>
