Get richer teacher with Ola Kowalska

Searching for the best social media platform for your teaching business? Let's flip the script and approach it from a different angle.

Instead of asking what's the best platform overall, let's focus on what's best for YOU.  Where can you be consistent and truly enjoy showing up? It's all about finding the path of least resistance.

It's not about following the crowd or chasing trends. It's about finding a platform that aligns with your personality and connects with your target audience.

Listen to this episode where I dive deeper into how to actually approach choosing the right platform for your teaching business.
