The first time I live launched something, I made $99 and it felt like a TOTAL flop.

I got ONE person to join my group program…which was awkward considering it was a GROUP program and at that point it was one person and myself. 🤦‍♀️

It was a large learning curve for me to get to the point that I could live launch successfully, but once I did it, I knew there was no going back for me.

The thing about live launching is that when done correctly, it can be HUGELY powerful.

It’s often the ‘secret' behind those big cash influxes that come into an online business.

But it doesn’t happen overnight.

In today’s episode of the podcast, you are getting a behind the scenes sneak peak at Jessica Homewood’s latest live launch.

You might remember her from the podcast back in March when we talked about group lessons as a scalable business model.

Well….a LOT has changed in her business and she just did an almost $8k launch on a brand new group program she hadn’t even created back in March. 🤩

In today’s episode, you’ll hear all about what she needed to learn in order to get there, the obstacles she overcame, and you’ll get a peak behind the curtain of all of her launch numbers.

In today’s episode of The Prosperous Piano Teacher Podcast, we had the privilege of diving deep into the fascinating journey of Melody Payne, a piano pedagogy expert turned successful online business owner.

My first interaction with Melody Payne was back in 2019 when I reached out to her, hoping my piano pedagogy students could observe her teaching. I had stumbled upon her website completely randomly and was instantly impressed by her professionalism, eye for design, and the exceptional quality of her resources and studio communications. Melody graciously allowed my students to observe her teaching and permitted me to use her website as an educational resource, which was invaluable for teaching basic business practices.

Melody started her career as a traditional piano teacher and professor. However, she embraced the digital transformation and moved her business online, which allowed her to reach a wider audience. This transition showcases the importance of adapting to new technologies and being open to change.

She discussed how her online business began out of necessity. She created resources that she needed for her own students, and soon realized that other teachers could benefit from them as well. This led to the creation of her online store.

The transition to digital wasn’t without challenges. Melody had to learn new skills, such as graphic design and digital marketing, to create and promote her products. Her dedication to learning and improving has been a significant factor in her success.

This episode is a treasure trove of inspiration and practical advice for anyone looking to create alternative streams of revenue, especially through digital resources. Melody Payne’s story is a testament to the power of passion, innovation, and perseverance. If you’re aiming to transform your business and explore new revenue opportunities, you must listen to this episode of The Prosperous Piano Teacher Podcast.

I’m thrilled to share an inspiring conversation with Katie Gettys, an innovative entrepreneur who has mastered the art of scaling online teaching businesses. Katie's journey is a fascinating blend of passion, travel, and entrepreneurial spirit that offers valuable lessons for educators everywhere.

Katie began her career as a traditional music educator, teaching elementary school students. However, a quarter-life crisis at age 25 led her to take a bold step. She left her classroom job to travel and live abroad, spending time in Prague and exploring Europe and Southeast Asia. During this period, she discovered online teaching through VipKid, where she taught English to children in China.

Upon returning to the States at the onset of the pandemic, Katie missed her musical roots and sought ways to teach music online. She found Outschool, an online platform that allows teachers to create and offer classes to children aged 3 to 18. Within three months, Katie was making more than half of her previous teaching salary, and she knew she had found her niche.

Outschool is an online marketplace connecting students and teachers for a wide range of subjects, including music, life skills, and more. Unlike traditional education platforms, Outschool does not require teachers to have formal degrees—just a passion and expertise in their subject area. While Outschool takes a 30% cut of earnings, the platform’s extensive marketing and student base make it a valuable partner for many educators.

Katie’s success on Outschool allowed her to scale her business further by hiring other teachers to meet growing demand. This move not only diversified her studio’s offerings (including piano, voice, and drums) but also enabled her to serve more students effectively. Transitioning from an independent teacher to managing an organization on Outschool required creating a legal entity and demonstrating her ability to attract students, a process Katie now helps others navigate through her coaching business.

Katie’s journey wasn’t without challenges. She faced significant self-doubt, especially when considering hiring other teachers. However, she worked through these limiting beliefs and embraced her role as a leader. Katie also shared insights into managing multiple projects and the importance of simplifying to avoid overwhelm.

Both Katie and I resonate with the idea that business growth often reflects personal growth. Katie has explored various business avenues but recently emphasized the need to focus on what truly matters. This approach reduces stress and increases efficiency, allowing her to enjoy the freedom that entrepreneurship promises.

Katie’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of pursuing your passion, even if it means taking unconventional paths. Her success with Outschool and her ability to scale her business while maintaining a focus on personal growth offer valuable lessons for all educators.

Help teachers start and scale their teaching businesses with Outschool. If you’re inspired by Katie’s journey and want to learn more, you can find her on:

In today's digital age, establishing a strong online presence is essential for success in any industry. Whether you're running a small business or building a personal brand, converting online visitors into loyal customers is the key to growth and sustainability. In this blog post, we'll explore five essential strategies to supercharge your online platform and drive meaningful conversions.

1. Captivating Content:

Quality content is the foundation of any successful online presence. From blog posts to social media updates, compelling content grabs attention, builds authority, and drives engagement. To create captivating content, focus on providing value to your audience, addressing their pain points, and sparking meaningful conversations. By consistently delivering high-quality content, you'll establish yourself as a trusted resource in your niche and attract more visitors to your website.

2. Seamless User Experience:

A seamless user experience is crucial for converting visitors into customers. Your website should be easy to navigate, visually appealing, and optimized for speed and performance. Pay attention to factors such as site structure, page layout, and mobile responsiveness to ensure that users can find what they're looking for quickly and easily. By prioritizing user experience, you'll reduce friction in the conversion process and increase the likelihood of visitors taking action.

3. Conversion-Focused Forms:

Streamline the process of capturing leads and collecting information with conversion-focused forms. Design your forms to be user-friendly, intuitive, and easy to complete. Minimize the number of fields required and use clear, concise language to guide users through the form submission process. By reducing cognitive load and making it as simple as possible for users to provide their information, you'll increase the likelihood of conversions and generate more leads for your business.

4. Compelling Reviews:

Social proof is a powerful driver of conversions. Encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews and testimonials sharing their positive experiences with your products or services. Display these reviews prominently on your website to build trust and credibility with potential customers. Be sure to respond promptly and professionally to both positive and negative reviews, demonstrating your commitment to customer satisfaction and transparency. By showcasing real-life success stories, you'll inspire confidence in your brand and encourage more conversions.

5. Video Testimonials:

Harness the persuasive power of video testimonials to drive conversions. Video content is highly engaging and allows you to tell a compelling story that resonates with your audience. Encourage satisfied customers to share their experiences on camera, highlighting the benefits of your products or services. Incorporate these video testimonials into your website and marketing materials to provide authentic social proof and inspire trust in your brand. By leveraging the emotional impact of video content, you'll create a memorable impression on your audience and drive more conversions.

Mastering conversion optimization is essential for maximizing the effectiveness of your online platform. By implementing these five strategies—captivating content, seamless user experience, conversion-focused forms, compelling reviews, and video testimonials—you'll supercharge your online presence and drive meaningful conversions. Start implementing these strategies today and watch your business grow!

Welcome to another episode of The Prosperous Piano Teacher! Today I'm thrilled to delve into a topic that might sound a bit unconventional at first: three "woo" tips to boost your income over the next year. Now, before you raise an eyebrow, let's explore how embracing a bit of the mystical and intuitive side can actually work wonders for your financial growth.

Let's face it: as entrepreneurs, we often find ourselves deep in the trenches of strategy and tactics, trying to navigate the practical aspects of running a business. But what about that part of us that craves intuition and spiritual connection? For me, that "woo" side has always been present—a deep knowing that music is about more than just notes and rhythms, but a profound connection.

I want to share three tips that have been instrumental in my own journey, even if they might seem a bit unconventional to some. These are practices that have worked for me, often without me even realizing it until I saw similar strategies discussed by successful entrepreneurs and in books on manifestation.

Let's start by reflecting on the unexpected paths to success. I shared my own story of paying off student loans after nine years, a goal I had set but had no clear path to achieve. Life took unexpected turns with my divorce and selling my house, leading to the fulfillment of that goal in ways I couldn't have predicted.

I invite you to think back on your own life. Remember those big goals or milestones you achieved—starting a business, graduating, buying a home—and how the journey unfolded. More often than not, we find that the "how" was not what we originally planned. Life has a way of surprising us, and it's okay not to have all the answers.

Here's where the magic happens—by releasing the need to know exactly how we'll achieve our goals, we make space for creative solutions and serendipitous moments. Trusting in the process, even when it seems unclear, can lead to those "aha" moments where the path forward becomes clear.

I'm excited to hear your thoughts on today's episode! I know "woo" topics might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I believe these tips are universally applicable, whether you're a business owner or simply aiming for financial growth.

If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you! Share your thoughts with me on Instagram, and if you found value in these tips, consider sharing the episode with a friend or on social media.

Remember, these practices are not just for business owners—they're for anyone looking to improve their money mindset and reach their financial goals. And if you've been enjoying The Prosperous Piano Teacher, leaving a rating and review would mean the world to me. Your support helps these episodes reach others who might benefit from them.

I want to remind you that you are powerful, and you have the ability to create the financial abundance you desire. Trust in the process, release the need for rigid plans, and make space for life's magic. Here's to a fantastic week ahead, and I can't wait to be back with you for the next episode!
