<p>I took this one to heart and became a secret shopper this week. I've already saved $125 on my pet's vet bills, something I needed to do anyway. Thanks for the GREAT suggestion!</p>pj commented on '26 Ways to Make More Money'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200e55366dd4288342008-06-11T18:26:53Z2008-08-29T17:12:57ZpjAdditional info for those interested: The entry fee is 100% for the company, and I am talking about the Belgian...<p>Additional info for those interested: The entry fee is 100% for the company, and I am talking about the Belgian market.</p>pj commented on '26 Ways to Make More Money'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200e55366dbd188342008-06-11T18:24:03Z2008-06-11T18:24:04ZpjI am a student and a tutot.

They tend to have the most money.</p>
<p>The rate per student per hour has been 25 euro for years, bur recently went up to 30 euro. There also is a entry fee of around 170 euro, although this is often used as a first degree price differentiator. (So we have a first talk with the parents, look at their clothes, car, manners,negotiation skills etcetera and give a discount on the entry fee if necessary, but never on the hourly rate.)</p>
<p>I receive half of the revenue, the other half is for the company that recruits the students. It gets juicy when we start teaching to groups of up to 3: 45 euro per hour (or 37,5 at the old rate). I did a lot of that last year and saved over 600 euro per month working less than a day per week.</p>
<p>So yes, it's a great business as a tutor. Not so much as a company, because a lot of tutors run away with the clients and the business model is therefore not that scalable.</p>Michael Blackburn commented on '26 Ways to Make More Money'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200e55364b95b88342008-06-10T21:00:08Z2008-08-29T06:42:56ZMichael BlackburnBack in the 90's, I used to tutor and made $12-$15 an hour through a business, $25+ on my own....<p>Back in the 90's, I used to tutor and made $12-$15 an hour through a business, $25+ on my own. A dollar's worth a lot less now, and the echo boomers are just hitting the college application process en masse. I would guess run-of-the-mill tutors are making well into the 30's now.</p>
<p>Hint: don't bother tutoring subjects like math and english. Focus on test-prep, that's where the money is. Sick society we live in.</p>K commented on '26 Ways to Make More Money'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200e55349322288332008-06-10T18:29:10Z2008-08-30T05:27:53ZK26 ways to make money if you don't already have a full-time job?<p>26 ways to make money if you don't already have a full-time job?</p>
