Once you resign from your current job, many parents who appreciated your teaching may reach out to you. Be open and honest with your employer during your transition; never approach students while still employed.<\/p><p>Beyond referrals, establish a basic presence that potential clients can find. Creating an Instagram profile with short videos demonstrating techniques, along with a Google Business listing and a profile on platforms like Carousell or Superprof can help. Clearly state your hourly rates, locations where you can teach, and showcase milestones of your students (with their parents&#8217; consent).<\/p><p>Condominium management offices can also be a valuable resource. Sending them a simple one-page PDF that outlines your certifications and rates can cost you nothing and help you reach potential clients in estates with a large number of units.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4c8983 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c4c8983\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Biggest Mistakes New Freelancers Make<\/h2><p>Many new freelance instructors struggle more with admin work and positioning than with teaching itself.<\/p><ul><li><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">First off, not having a cancellation policy is a major issue. Since cancellations happen all the time, if you don\u2019t have a rule in place, you\u2019ll lose money for those missed hours. It\u2019s smart to ask for a 24-hour notice and charge a fee for late cancellations.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Another mistake is undercharging at the beginning. Setting low rates might pull in clients initially, but they\u2019ll often jump ship for a cheaper option.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Sticking to just one pool can limit your client base and scheduling flexibility, so experienced freelancers usually work at three to five pools.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Also, be mindful of seasonal income drops and gaps during holidays, as these can cut your earnings by 30 to 50%. It&#8217;s a good idea to save up a two-month income buffer before going independent.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Lastly, don\u2019t let your NROC credentials expire. You need to renew every three years by completing 15 hours of coaching practice and education to maintain your access to ActiveSG pools.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-531ffa4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"531ffa4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_motion_fx_scrolling&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_effect&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_direction&quot;:&quot;negative&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_opacity_effect&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:4,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_affectedRange&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:{&quot;start&quot;:0,&quot;end&quot;:100}},&quot;background_motion_fx_opacity_direction&quot;:&quot;out-in&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_opacity_level&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;background_motion_fx_opacity_range&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:{&quot;start&quot;:20,&quot;end&quot;:80}},&quot;background_motion_fx_devices&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e995644 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e995644\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #2ea3f2;\"><strong>The Swimwerks Perspective<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Successful freelance instructors often view their work as a business from the get-go.
