Advertising on ex-teachers.com

Why should you advertise your business here?

If you’re a business who employs or supports teachers then advertising on ex-teachers.com offers excellent value for money:

Ex-teachers ranks highly for practically all relevant queries related to leaving teaching.
As of July 2024, the Thinking of Leaving Teaching? group has 13.6K members. The Thinking of Leaving Teaching? page, which has been running since June 2017, has 7.7K followers. I post a ‘Business and New Career Opportunities’ post in the Thinking of Leaving Teaching? Group once a month which includes the logos of businesses (as above) and a link to the Business and New Career Opportunities page on this website. You may also comment on the post which will further increase reach within the group.
Businesses who advertise on ex-teachers.uk recommend it, such as Deborah Salsbury of The Reading Doctor who was the first to advertise in Jan 2020, and Jane James who added Little Voices in Jan 2022.

This will increase reach and increase your brand awareness. Those posts will also appear on the Thinking of Leaving Teaching? page.

The above advertising will last for one year.

Advice for Facebook posts

You may post up to two adverts in the Thinking of Leaving Teaching? Group during the year. Being a member of the group will also allow you to interact with your posts to increase their reach and increase your brand awareness. Here is some advice for posts on Facebook:

Include eye-catching images or video.
Do not include a link in the post (Facebook will reduce the reach of posts containing links). Instead, put any links in the comments section. Research data suggests that eliminating links from your post’s body text will increase your impressions and engagements with the new algorithms. Posts with external links in the comments perform better.
Use minimal, concise and effective text.

Here is an example from Faye of Nature Makers who received several comments requesting information before the link was posted in comments:
