Hi, Tim. 🎉🎉🎉Congrats on your 6 year anniversary! Beautiful cat. I found you when I was searching for online tutoring jobs (retired teacher). Although I never pursued the Chinese avenues, you have been an inspiration to me and others, and I kept watching your videos. It sounds like you are creating a new chapter in your journey, or perhaps a new novel. 😊 Your ideas of helping ppl by working from home/remotely, being able to be a digital nomad, and financial freedom, I believe resonate both with teachers and those who are searching for these ideas. I recently took your passive income course and it was terrific! As someone mentioned during the course, because it was live is the reason they enrolled. You are awesome and will succeed at whatever you decide. Best of luck with your new novel.
Hi Tim! Congrats on 6 years and 1M+ views. I found you back in 2020 when someone in a Dave Ramsey Facebook group mentioned your success with VIPKid. I had heard of VIPKId and seen the promotions, but doubted I had the personality that the company had demonstrated in their ads. Thanks to your videos and your personal mentoring, I was able to pass to mock class (after 5 tries!) and have now taught over 9300 lessons. Thanks to you, my family and I can enjoy a lifestyle that we hadn't dreamed would be possible. Thanks so much for all you've done and continue to do. Teacher John
Please continue doing what you’re doing! You don’t know what a blessing you are to SO many teachers out there! Your guidance and expertise has been astounding….
I just found your videos recently, but years ago I worked for a Chinese company until 2021. I think your other ideas also sound really interesting, and you should absolutely follow where your interests are. Reading the comments, it seems many people are also intrigued about seeing what you have to say on remote work, balancing teaching with your lifestyle, digital nomad life, etc. I look forward to seeing whatever new direction you decide to take!
Hi Tim 🎉wow well done! I found your channel way back in 2020 right at the start of my journey as an online teacher and I am so grateful as your videos were so helpful and I know that tbere are new online teachers everyday that needs guidance and your wisdom. I am looking forward to the next 6 years my friend. Cheering you on❤🎉
Long time viewer & first time commenter here stopping by to encourage you to keep doing what got you to a million views and 22K subscribers in the first place!! You are still #1 in this niche and WE NEED YOU… especially as more and more teachers are thinking about returning to online teaching after the big shake up. Great work, Tim!!
Hi Tim! One million views: good job! I love that you have a "keep moving forward" mentality. This is one of the reasons I follow you! Your struggles mirror the struggles of others. Many of us wonder if the path we are on now is the path we want to stay on, myself included. By staying true to yourself and passionate about what you do, you will continue to inspire others. Carry on.
Yes, the digital nomad and solopreneur space is growing. Freedom and job uncertainty has inspired many people to invest and bet on themselves rather than hoping that companies will provide them stability. Due to AI many tech staff are being laid off from the biggest coolest jobs such as Google, Meta, Amazon, etc. Solopreneurship--is the pivot.
Hello Tim! Thank you for your candidness. I enjoy your candor. Keep on sharing your thoughts with us. I look forward to seeing your next video on whatever topics you decide to share with our community! Personally, I would like to see content on camera shyness. 🎉
This direction sounds great! As a teacher, I am ready to work online for pay that we deserve. I would jump into overseas teaching online, but the different time zones are challenging for me. The ideal is to work during school hours of U.S. eastern time.
Appreciate the insight and community you put on your channel. I was glad I found you when the world paused- I had to pivot and you gave me motivation to find something to work for teaching my HK students.
Keep up the good work! I always enjoy your videos. I feel like a lot of the people who have continued teaching online are working for marketplaces or companies vs. going solo - so maybe keep pursuing those topics if you can. I’m sure you will find what works for you!
Great work for you Tim! You have made lots of friends from all Over the world through CZcams! I am So happy that I know you personally ! Love this video ! Can’t wait for more videos branching out to new topics !
🎉Cheering for you from over here. Grateful for the way you've inspired me in my business and look forward to what you've got coming up! Let's hear more about WFH professional development/ continued growth.
Keep up the good work! As someone the works from home (main job), Side job of remote teaching English and always love a good side hustle, I always enjoy your videos and see value in them. I think if you keep the core of your videos as they are you can branch out into any topics you want and your viewers will enjoy.
I answered 2 quora posts referencing you as a source for online teaching English to the Chinese; and sb also enquired about teaching Taiwaness online, so I thought you mighr be able to give them advice.
I found you while I was teaching for VipKid in retirement. (Loved and miss it sooo much). Always appreciated your advice and content and manner. Good luck on continuing the Journey even if path varies a bit!
I found you when I was looking for advice on teaching online. You have solid advice and I subscribed. 😊 I tutor adults who want to speak English better and confidently (not exactly EFL), so even though you focus more on teaching kids, there were things I was able to take home from what you said.
You've been doing awesome on CZcams! 22K subscribers! I have been on CZcams 6 years and I'm currently at 5.5K subscribers. CONGRATULATIONS ON ONE MILLION VIEWS!!!
Great news! I’m being asked by colleagues to start a CZcams channel, like you I’m a teacher, I’m trying to transition to online, but still feel I’m a couple of years away. My hurdle is the amount of channels that are on the internet already, is it too late?
Definitely not too late. Its a good sign that there are lots of channels - people are watching. Its not saturated. Be yourself and find a niche to talk about that people are already watching - its a good sign if others are doing it - you can just do it differently.
I want to continue teaching online while going to Australia, China, and different countries. I just don't know how to practically work out the costs of being a digital nomad, and that it would be sustainable.
Please get back to reviewing great online teaching opportunities. That's how I found you and that's how I ended up working with my favorite company even today. Synthesis. You recently covered NaoNow I'm from Jamaica so those were good for me but I'm sure there are other. plus please do some for business English like Learnlght.

Thanks Joann for the comment - im glad I was helpful :)
PS Danie Jay pivoted successfully from the online ESL teaching space & I am sure you can too!
Thanks Abby! I'm not really looking to pivot out of online ESL, but maybe just veer a little into content about creating and running an online brand.
Next thank you for sharing. It inspires me.
Thank YOU for commenting!
You've been doing awesome on CZcams! 22K subscribers! I have been on CZcams 6 years and I'm currently at 5.5K subscribers.

Hi Evelyn! THANK YOU :) You are doing awesome too - I remember when you were in the hundreds - you have made amazing progress!
Thank you! :)

Hi Tim, love your channel. I would love to know how to be a digital nomad so that I can travel and still keep paying my bills.
Great topic idea! It can certainly look different depending on your type of work, where you want to live, etc..
I want to continue teaching online while going to Australia, China, and different countries.
I just don't know how to practically work out the costs of being a digital nomad, and that it would be sustainable.
