After you purchase membership you will be given access to a form where you will enter your teaching information. You will be asked for your website link, your video link, and other information about your offerings.
You do not need to fill out the form immediately up purchasing membership, but your name will not be listed until the form is complete. Your membership begins at the time of purchase, not at the time you finish filling out the form.
You will also be given a link to join the private membership community of the Academy for Virtual Teaching (see below.)
To be listed, you must provide a link to a video advertising your virtual workshops, lectures, and/or events during the registration process. Please host your video on your website (preferred), YouTube the video hosting service of your choice. The video must be available for public viewing and you are required to provide a link to it during the registration process.
Don't make this difficult. Students want to see the real you more than they want fancy video editing! You can simply hold up your phone, click record, then introduce yourself by name and tell people a little bit about what you teach and how they can sign up or hire you. If your video is hosted on your workshop page you can direct the viewer to scroll down and explore your offerings.
When you purchase a membership all of the data you enter on the registration form is used to populate the GQC website. If after that time you want to make a change to your listing (for example a new website, email etc) there will be a $10 change fee and it may take up to three weeks for the update to appear on the website.
We do not issue refunds for any reason. Lots of work goes on behind the scenes as soon as you complete the GQC membership form. Just as much goes into having to remove you. Thank you for your understanding.
