Thank you for deciding to help us! Spreading the word is good for everyone. Telling people about eduFire will help build up our community, bring new interesting teachers in, and then help those teachers get more students as well. Here are some easy ways you can help us spread the eduFire love with the rest of the world! Thank you so much, we appreciate it!
Millions of people all over the world have Facebook accounts. Chances are, you probably do too! Telling friends about your classes is really easy with Facebook. You can post a link directly to your profile, or use the bookmarklet to expedite the process. Check out this video for a step by step on sharing your classes with your Facebook friends. Also, take a look at our Facebook fan page, where you can get up to the minute (and exclusive) information from eduFire, including free class coupons, videos, the Facebook-only eduFire t-shirt, and more!
We love Twitter here at eduFire. You can help us by following us (to get news on education, free classes, and more!), or by tweeting about us to your own followers. Twitter is also a great way to promote yourself as a tutor here on eduFire. Come to one of our free classes on promoting yourself to learn even more! We'll also do classes on Twitter from time to time, so be on the lookout! If you want to go up and beyond, consider becoming one of our Twitter Heroes! [what is twitter?]
If you are using Twitter, and want to help pass along the word, consider signing up to TwitterFeed and adding our blog to it. This means that every time we post something in our blog, it will be relayed through your Twitter account automatically, and you'll be able to share it with all your Twitter followers!
StumbleUpon is a great way to find new and interesting websites. If you think eduFire is interesting (or wanted to Stumble one of your classes!), sign up for StumbleUpon and give us a Stumble! This can be a great way to bring thousands of new eyes to one of your classes, as well, especially if you're teaching something really interesting! [How does StumbleUpon work?]
Digg is another great way to find interesting articles. If you think a class looks really intriguing Digg the class! If enough people Digg a class, thousands of people will come by to check it out, and that's many more possible students for you and your eduFire friends! [How does Digg work?]
If you have a blog, consider blogging about us. Write a review of your experiences. We love to hear what people think about eduFire, and often use this feedback to improve! Don't have a blog? Check out Wordpress or Blogger for a free, easy-to-use blogging platform!
Spreading the word can be as simple as e-mailing a friend. Maybe you have a friend who has always wanted to learn French? By sending them a link to the French page of eduFire, you could be making all their dreams come true!
If you have an RSS reader, you can subscribe to our blog's feed by clicking here to get up to the minute news right when it happens! Don't know what RSS is? Check out this video, "RSS in Plain English."
Do you have a website or a blog? Take a look at all the banners we have! You can save them and use them on your websites / blogs! Want some help personalizing one of these banners so it's specific to you? Just e-mail koichi@edufire.com and he'll help you make something special :) Here are some examples, but there are many more available here. If you create your own banners, upload them to our group eduFire banner pool on Flickr!
Whether it's a free class or not, joining a class supports the tutors and helps build a vibrant community! We love meeting new people, and seeing our friends again. Attending a class can help you learn something new, and make connections as well!
