Write with passion. Market with confidence. Live without limits.
Hey, I'm Charlie and I started this KZread channel as an online english teacher back in 2018...
A LOT has changed since then, but one thing remains the same... I love English and I love teaching!
So, while I no longer teach in the traditional sense, I still love sharing the nuggets of wisdom I pick up along the way.
Being a self-confessed grammar nerd, English enthusiast and sucker for storytelling has led me into the wonderful world of marketing, specifically copywriting, and I've learned that a lot of the tricks of the trade I work in can be applied to many other professions too.
As my career has evolved, I've learned so much about marketing your own business that I wish I knew when I had my own teaching business.
And so, I'm on a mission to spread the word to empower a community of marketers. Leapfrog over my mistakes and use English to catapult your career in a way I could have ever imagined.

i really liked the book called you, when reading it felt better and more exciting just watching the tv show ( never watched the tv show actually ), any more recommendations like that book? something captive when you read the first couple pages you just wanna continue till its 5 am in the morning
I’ve never read the book, but aren’t they always better than the show/movie?😂 I was hooked by the girl on the train, it’s similarly suspenseful with a twist, if you haven’t read it already?
@@charlieraswrites Haven't read that one yet, Will check it out when i got some free time :)!
Totally sold, excited to hear about the other 2 👏
TY & Happy reading, you’ll be GRIPPED😅
You can find the details of a writing method in multiple places online. What you can't find is the honest and genuine nature of the person using it. The first half of this video is worth as much (if not more) than the rest of it. Especially after commenting on my own battle with perfectionism (maybe that's a thing we all share as authors), this video really hit home, so thank you.
Thank you 🥹 I definitely need to update on the rest of the method now I’m writing again 🫶🏻
As someone who has written five novels but still struggles with the overwhelming feeling of a blank page of that next new story (and especially now when that blank page is also the beginning of a new series), this insight into the Snowflake Method (which I've looked at before) feels more motivating with the way you present it. As someone who battles with perfectionism, I'm putting my one-sentence summary out there as a way to get my skin in the game and nudge myself forward... A lighthouse keeper's granddaughter discovers the truth about her love lost at sea.
Thanks so much for your comment - I’m writing a series too which feels so big but I can’t picture my story not playing out as a series😂… let us know how you get on & thanks for sharing your 1 sentence summary - I’m dying to know what the truth is about her love! 🥹🙌🏻
hi what do you use to record your videos? >:)
Hey! 👋🏼 I used to record on a DSLR but I’ve actually done more recent vids like this one on my iPhone… I’m in need of a tech upgrade😆
@@charlieraswrites Thanks. To be honest, even the iphone looks great!
@@kakashi2801 thank you, good to know it's still valuable this way :)
I LOVE the real and rawness of this video… I hope you make more videos soon 🥰
Thank you so much! I definitely want to make more, I really appreciate the encouragement 🥹
Orphan teen leaves the only world she’s ever known to rescue her father from an invisible monster, if he’s not dead already.
Omg it’s giving stranger things vibes and I’m here for it! You’ve got this 🙌🏻😍
This is my favorite snowflake method video- thank you!
Thank you! 🫶🏻
Don't worry about word count. Make the words count
Thank you 🫶🏻 love that quote
Thanks for the cool video! I am considering applying to Cambly, so your video is extremely informative for me.
Glad these videos are still helpful, you’re welcome! ☺️
of course I'd like to read, it sounds interesting
Looking forward to read it, Charlie. Raj from LinkedIn
Thank you! 🙏🏼
@@charlieraswrites it's going to be available digitally?
@@translatedwithcaree3404 that would depend on the decision of the publisher ☺️
I would buy that book the second it was published!
Thank you, that means so much! 🥹 I’ve only ever had trolls comment since talking about it on #booktube 😅
It's 1:51 am right not in Israel. It's the middle of the night and I'm going kinda crazy. I recently got back to drinking coffee which makes me energetic and inspired to move but also makes me impatient. I was searching KZread for a correction between running and inspiration (I'm a singer songwriter) and what you wrote was my reinforcement I needed. I need to go back to running, to stimulate my blood. I remember how helpful it was in creating new ideas. Its mental impact was way more effective than lifting. Thank you for that.
aw, you look gorgeous too❤❤
Goodluck!
Beautifully said!
Thank you! 🫶🏻
This is just EXCELLENT 😊
Thank you so much! It’s been a while since my teaching days but glad these videos still help people x
'Worlds first virgin sex addict' 😂😂
When i read a book in the morning i think about how it goes further all day long, and i do this till i finish the book
Yes, and I feel incensed by real life like work getting in the way, I want to say, you DO KNOW that [character] is about to [do the thing]!? 😅😂
@@charlieraswritesExactly! Making up all kinds of scenarios😂😂😂
Hi, Charlie. I have been inspired by you but also Coetzee's Diary of a bad year. Have you read it? Anyway, my one line summary is: An aging office worker attempts to (re)gain authority through social media. There is definitely a plot twist 😊
Thanks for sharing! I haven’t read it, looking for it now 🧐. Keen to know what the plot twist is in your book. 😍
👍👍👍
What pointless content.
Thanks for the engagement kiddo, you really helped 🥰
how many jobs a week can you expect a week on the platform as far as the pay whats average weekly pay if your doing a full work load all week
Based off other KZread videos, was under the impression that you an upload a minimally edited video. Am I mistaken?
Writers are amazing!
Charlie, this is so very helpful! I've really been needing "how to" info on structure. I appreciate your insight about how the Snowflake method worked for you! xoxo
Thank you! I’ll be honest work overtook last year but I feel very passionately about this method and returning to sharing writing tips very soon so I’m so glad it helped ❤️
when will it come out?
Wanking on Cambly - Christ. Modernity there.
It seems that non natives cannot apply on cambly.
Correct. They want native English speakers only for their tutoring positions.
You are a champion one,love you girl.
Yes but proper teaching is a lot more effort for the pay being offered as well.
So your audio is really roomy/reverberant and hard to hear, when you put your logo on after I turned up my volume to hear you it blasted my ears. Get a LAV and stop recording from a mic across the room. Learn how to record audio properly please. I'm sorry to be so harsh, but not everyone listens on earbuds or laptop speakers (which is still a problem). You blasted me in a professional recording studio when your logo came on. Balance. KZread it.
hi, thank you for your videos about becoming a cambly tutor. I've been looking into it and have done everything but submit my video to them and I have had a few questions & needed answers before I commit to going through with it/ Could you possibly send me the links to the video of what the video introduction should roughly contain and what to do the prepare to have lessons or plan them especially how to keep the attention on you to teach with I guess nothing? anyway thanks again & I will definitlly use your referral code when & if I start.
Ive been on Cambly full time since 2018, i only do reservations and do 8 hr a day for 6 days so thats 480 bucks a week, i live i Cambodia so thats more than enough to live on comfortably .....A quick note on pay, in all the years Cambly have never messed me about when it come to paying on time, maybe a few hours here and there. They now do direct bank transfers btw. Also the powers that be kicked me out of Cambly corner years ago, thank god. and im a 43 yr old bloke so no flashers, yet 😜
Where are you teaching now online?
I didn't know about your this channel and was searching for new videos on other channel 😊
Amazing!!!
Do i have to have a degree?
No, you just have to be a native English speaker and pass a qualifying exam.
BEWARE any interested individuals when applying with Cambly... After submitting my online application through the Cambly website, the following was my experience during the past 7 days. On august 24th I received this email message : "Hi ____, Thank you for your application! We're delighted to inform you that your application has made it through the first stage of the process to become a tutor, congratulations! Your account has been moved to our shortlist of high-quality tutors for priority onboarding. Please be aware, it may take anywhere from 1 day to a few weeks for your account to be activated for tutoring on Cambly. We always make sure there is sufficient student demand so, once you're activated, you can be sure to have plenty of calls and students to start your tutoring career! We will finish processing your application as soon as possible and email you again once your application is approved to begin tutoring :) Thank you so much for your patience and for your interest in working with us! All the best, _______" * I replied to that email with a pleasant message about my excitement & eagerness to start tutoring on Cambly. During the following days I dedicated 7+ hours to studying the Cambly tutor support online guides along with watching related Cambly videos through KZread, so that those efforts & learnings would be able to be put to use as a Cambly tutor in the upcoming days... However after 6 days and no further emails were received from the "Cambly Team", earlier today I sent this email : "Dear Cambly Team, Out of consideration for my schedule & current plans with a need to obtain an additional source of income : within the next 24 hours can an update be given about when my tutor account can be activated to begin tutoring on Cambly? I already have dedicated a 'few' hours of studying the Cambly tutor support guides along with watching related videos through KZread, so I hope those efforts & learnings will be able to be put to use as a Cambly tutor in the upcoming days 😊... Sincerely 🙏 ________," * A few minutes later I received this email from "Cambly Help Support" : "Hi there, Thank you for creating a Cambly Tutor Profile! We have received a lot of interest in our tutoring roles and unfortunately, after reviewing your profile, we've decided not to move forward with your application. We will keep your application on file in case it's a better fit in the future. Due to the large volume of emails we receive, we will not be able to provide personalized feedback. Thank you so much for taking the time to consider Cambly and we wish you all the best! Best Regards, The Cambly Team" * 1 hour later I replied with this email : "Dear Cambly Team, Why 1 hour ago that email was sent to me? Because 6 days ago I received that confirmation email message. Sincerely 🙏 ________," A few minutes later I received the *same* email from "Cambly Help Support" which was sent to me earlier today 🤦🏻♂🤦🏻♂...
That really sucks because i was about to appy. Just the video to do, now i am discouraged😢 anywhere else you can reccommend?
I used to be the hiring manager for one of the larger content writing companies. I can tell you that, judging by your writing style in those emails, I wouldn't have hired you, either. I'm not saying this to be snarky or cruel, but the fact is that if the goal is to hire teachers with excellent English grammar skills to teach the language to non-native speakers, then those teachers need to demonstrate excellent English language skills. Yours aren't bad, but they're not currently strong enough to give a hiring manager confidence in your ability to teach the language properly.

The pay issue is not exclusive to the online ESL industry. These days people work somewhere like McDonald's and demand that they be paid a 'living wage' where they can pay down a mortgage and put their kids through college?! All on an entry level pay job?! 🤣🤣
Hi ! Hope you have a good day
I seem to have missed some comments on my notifications, but I hope you have a good day too! 😆
Good morning! This is Sajjad Khan from Pakistan
I agree with everything you said apart from the kids. Honestly it’s so much easier especially when broken up with adults. I only work PH so kids or adults can book with me and I don’t mind the mix. I do 3 hours a day and before kids I was averaging $25 a day now I added kids I’m averaging $31 a day with the exact same times and amount of hours
I think this is really helpful. How terrifying what you’ve done but more liberating. Huge congrats. Love this.
Thanks so much Cheryl! Definitely feels liberating to overcome the fear :)
Thank you, need these tips 😅 & can’t wait to read 🎉🎉
Thank YOU for being my first commenter! :D x
So proud of your work! Looking forward to reading the whole book!
Eeep, thank you friend! <3
Thanks for the info!
why i cant purchase my voucher, whenever i check it out, it says you are not authorized to use multipass log in. please help me
Oh no! Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention, I've looked into this, it looks like their promotion offers have changed as this video is a few years old. Does this link work for you? ioa.pxf.io/c/2601341/1695629/12764 let me know, if this isn't the course you wanted, tell me which one and I will find the link for it :)
