4 Reasons Bellbird Makes Starting an Online Lesson Business Easy

Table of Contents

The online lesson market has continued to expand rapidly in recent years. While this market has great opportunities for new business, it can be time consuming and costly to develop platforms on which to provide lessons.
That's where Bellbird comes in. As Engoo's OEM service, Bellbird is a fully developed, tried and tested platform that businesses can use to host online lessons.
In this article, we will explain the reasons why Bellbird is ideal for companies considering starting an online lesson business.

OEM v ODM

There are two main types of system development methods: OEM and ODM (commissioned development). *Bellbird falls under "OEM".
What's the difference?

■OEM
Definition: Utilizes existing systems that suit the purpose of a business.
Features: Allows for a more efficient launch process for businesses, low initial cost and low running costs, and the system can be branded for individual businesses.

■ODM (commissioned development)
Definition: Creates a system from scratch.
Features: Can be tailored specifically for individual businesses, initial cost and running costs are higher, and development may take longer to complete.

Each system has advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to choose one that suits your budget and requirements. The difference between OEM and ODM is explained in more detail in the article below.

1. Low Start-up Costs

Since there is no need to develop a new system from scratch, initial costs for Bellbird are low, and our set monthly fee means there are no surprises for businesses to budget for.
Extra ongoing running costs such as system development, hiring maintenance personnel, and developing teaching materials are not required. Instead, regular and integrated system development and maintenance, as well as material updates, are included in Engoo's Bellbird service.

With Engoo doing all the behind-the-scenes work, Bellbird makes it easy for new businesses — even those on a limited budget — to offer high-quality online lessons.

2. Streamlined Launch

Utilizes the video call system / Online English materials actually used by DMM eikaiwa, one of Japan's largest online English services.
We can provide services with guaranteed stability and quality, so business can save time on the start-up process. With Engoo's pre-developed lesson materials and plans, businesses can start hosting online lessons straight away.
There is no need to hire engineers, designers, and materials creators to develop from scratch.
The speed of the project has improved dramatically.
Generally speaking, it takes about 180 days to develop a system, but it is possible to shorten it to about 3 business days at the shortest.

3. Brandable

Visual elements on the platform such as logos and designs can be customized for an individual brand, strongly emphasizing the identity of your company's services.
Additionally, teaching materials developed in-house can be stored within the video call screen, making it easier to provide differentiated educational content based on brand strategy.

4. Features That Turn Your Screen Into a Classroom

Unlike standard video call platforms, Bellbird is equipped with features specialized for online lessons. Tutors and students can synchronize their screens, open materials within that shared screen to work on together and even record lessons for later review.

Lessons can also feature notes and instructions that only tutors can see to help them better deliver the lesson. While Engoo offers its own materials, businesses using Bellbird can also create their own unique content to use within lessons, using all those same features.

DMM Eikaiwa constantly improves its system based on user requests. This means Bellbird's features will be updated regularly and at no additional cost to companies using it.

According to our 2023 results DMM Eikaiwa completed 35 system improvements of Bellbird. Bellbird's growing array of functions are developed with a high attention to detail, allowing users to experience an elevated online lesson environment and a highly satisfying learning experience.
