Uncovering the Hidden Costs of Studio Employment

• Moving beyond the simple "show up and get paid" view.
• Significant hidden drains like travel time between studios and unpaid gaps.

• Studios often keeping a large portion of the client fee.

Earning More Through Ownership & Autonomy with Trimio

• Flipping the traditional model by giving instructors full ownership of their business.
• Using Trimio to book studio space only as needed, rather than relying on studio-assigned hours.
