I live in Japan. I plan to start a Japanese language school with my Japanese business partner and enroll foreign students. We also intend to provide housing facilities and part-time jobs for the students.
But I have no idea how to connect that with other countries. especially Europe, Australia, and America. If anyone is interested in this please let me know
Do a lot of Guerilla marketing across Facebook, Reddit, there is many expat groups online
This type of business is widespread and all possible business models can be found. This is not a startup in terms of finding a business model.
Also, competitors.
Thanks for commenting. But I still can’t understand how to advertise my school in my target countries and recruit students from those countries
You mean “how to get students”, don’t you?
Yeah
Can you recruit them without advertising?
I can’t if I don’t have partners in those countries
Doesn’t need a new business model to be a startup l. And it’s refreshing to hear someone not talk about yet another another cash burning tech co approaching their “MVP”.
Language schools will be a lot of referrals. You also want to build a community behind your program. Pub nights, activities, people will want to meet other foreigners and expats
I do enjoy language learning. I have seen tons of services and apps ( /r/languagelearning is a great place, I was incredibly active there).
Learners admit that standard “class” environment is not so good for them.Pub nights, activities, people will want to meet other foreigners and expats
CAC could be high.
Well, that was more about searching. If you know the market, if you run your language school, you see all the variety.
Scaling is possible - but not always. The very first initial period of covid quarantine did bring many many new customers.
