Six easy ways to grow your online following
The story of Deborah Stewart is inspirational in so many ways. Deborah is an early childhood educator with an interest in play-based learning. She started in a classroom but after a while felt she’d hit a ceiling – a chance encounter with an educator who shared her classroom experiences online inspired her to start sharing her own play-based learning experiences too at teachpreschool.org.
With no background in business or social media, Deborah stuck true to what she loved and believed in – early play learning and how to share her experiences with others in this field. In just a few years, she has developed a fan base of over 1.3 million followers on Facebook.
But Deborah didn't rely on social media she saw the way the algorithms were making life difficult to build a business and she brought her audience back to her email list
She talks about how she grew the business and starts to monetise beginning to sell online courses where she teaches specific techniques to inspire teachers in their classroom. She now runs a very successful membership site that gives her a sustainable income.
