Article: Sure, you should look good when you plan to tell your crush how you feel. Just don't dress up to the nines if you normally rock a casual look, or put on a brand-new outfit if you're always seen in cozy clothes. You don't want your crush to think that you're trying too hard to send them the right message. Just try looking a bit more dressed up and well groomed than you normally do -- this will boost your confidence when you share your feelings. If you want to get the best results, then you have to pick a time when you and your crush can be fairly alone in a stress-free environment. You may not want to do it between classes, when your crush may be caught off guard or worried about the math test they have to take next period. Instead, pick a time when you know you can be alone, like after school, or at a group event when you know you can pull them away to chat for a while. Don't make a big deal about it -- make it sound like you could be asking for help with your homework or something. Let your crush know that you wanted to talk about something in a one on one setting, but that there's not a lot of pressure to have a serious conversation. The more casual you can be without making it sound too casual, the better. Just say, "Hey, I wanted to talk to you about something after school, do you have a minute?" You shouldn't immediately spit out the words, "I like you!" because your crush may still be a little uncomfortable or confused about why you're alone. Instead, put them at ease by making a silly joke, poking fun at yourself, or laughing extra hard at something they say. Laughing will put your crush in a positive frame of mind, and it'll make them more receptive to whatever you want to say. There's no need to delay. Once you're alone and have made your crush comfortable, you should just tell them how you feel. The sooner you do it, the better, and the less likely you'll be to make yourself more nervous or likely to ramble on about something unrelated. Just be simple and direct. Say, "I wanted to tell you that I have a crush on you" or "I really like hanging out with you, and I want you to know that I have feelings for you."  When you tell your crush, look them in the eye and relax your body. Don't stand too close to them or look at the floor, or you'll look either too eager or too withdrawn. Use your crush's name when you tell them how you feel. "Michael, there's something I want to tell you..." sounds more personal than just saying, "I want to tell you something." Don't build up to the thing you have to say too much. This will only put pressure on yourself. Don't immediately put pressure on your crush and say, "So what do you think?" It's likely that your crush is thrown off guard and needs some time to consider your words, whether they share your feelings or not. Take a few deep breaths, step back, and wait for your crush to respond. Your crush may immediately say that they return your feelings, but it's more likely that your crush may need more time and will say, "Cool, thanks for telling me," or "Can I have some time to think about it?" That's perfectly natural. If you want to increase the chances of your crush liking you, you should play it cool after you put your cards on the table.

If you have any friends who are interested in learning how to play guitar, offer to help them. This can be a way to develop your teaching skills and learn what methods are most effective.  If you're a reasonably good guitarist, chances are someone's already asked you to teach them. If not, ask some of your friends who don't know how to play guitar if they'd like to learn. Working with someone you know is helpful because they'll give you honest feedback on what's helping them and what's not. You'll also get a good idea of what kinds of information you need to know from your students. While you may already know these things from your friend, and have the ability to intuitively tailor a lesson to their interests, you can always reverse-engineer that to figure out what information you relied upon when formulating your lesson plans. Be careful not to lapse into a more friendly manner in these practice sessions. You can crack jokes or share stories, but keep in mind that you're trying to develop good teaching methods – not hang out with your friend. Once you feel confident enough in your teaching abilities to start looking for students publicly, spend some time evaluating the local market. You need to be able to price your lessons competitively.  If you set your rates too high, you'll have a hard time attracting students. On the other hand, setting rates too low means you won't be properly compensated for your time. Compare yourself to other instructors objectively, including relevant background and skill level. For example, as a beginning instructor you wouldn't want to charge as much as someone with 20 years experience or a college degree in music education. You also need to keep in mind the age range of students that you ideally want. This will impact the rates you charge as well as your advertising and marketing strategy. When you're just getting started teaching guitar, social media can be a good way to get the word out. Start a basic website and build connected social media accounts. Share the information with everyone you know.  You can build social media accounts without spending any money, which is part of what makes this a great way to spread the word about your services at the start. Later, you can decide if you want to spend money to promote your posts or create online advertising. Social media also helps you build your brand. Pick a name for your business and use the same user names on all websites. You may want to set up a discount system for those who find out about your lessons through social media, or who share your posts or make a referral. You also can create posts with a code for a free introductory lesson. Make sure when you craft the introductory lesson that the student will learn something right away and feel like they're advancing toward their goal of learning to play guitar in a positive and productive way. If you've decided you ultimately want to grow your business until you're teaching guitar full time, start small. Using word-of-mouth doesn't cost you any money, and can help you build a loyal following.  One way you can do this is by offering a discount for existing students who refer new students to you. After you've had a student for a month and they seem dedicated, remind them of the referral offer. They've had enough time with you by that point to know if they would recommend your services to others. Once you've had a little experience teaching a few students, you may want to start looking for other ways to find students, including directories and fliers in music stores or coffee shops.  Think about where people interested in music often congregate – this could include record stores and local music venues. Ask the owners if they have a bulletin board for advertising guitar instructor services. Schools also can be good places to advertise your services, particularly college campuses. You also can expand to online advertising, which can be a relatively inexpensive way to get the word out. Try to place advertisements with websites that cater to local or regional interests.
