Founding member program

Fill Your Lesson Schedule With Local Students

We build your website and run your content, Google profile, and reviews so local students find you — and our system books them onto your calendar. You only pay when a new student actually attends an intro lesson.

Apply for my founding spot

Your first 2 students included — guaranteed or refunded. After that, you're only charged when a student attends.

We currently only service the United States.

This starts your founding application — we'll confirm your area is still open and walk you through the $499 founding package: $249 covers your website, Google profile, and lead pipeline (non-refundable once your studio is live), and $250 covers your first 2 booked-and-attended intro lessons — refunded automatically if we don't deliver them within 90 days. After that, you're only charged when a new student attends an intro. No monthly fee, and you can pause anytime.
How your schedule fills

More students find you — while you keep teaching

Step 01

Local students find you

We build and run the website, content, and search presence so people looking for what you teach in your area actually land on you — not a competitor.

Step 02

They choose you over the rest

Your expertise, student stories, and gathered reviews make you the obvious pick — so prospects reach out instead of shopping around.

Step 03

Your schedule fills up

New students book intros straight onto your calendar. You're only charged when one actually attends an intro — and your first two are included.

Why now

Every week you're hard to find, those students book someone else

The students you want are searching right now — and booking whoever shows up first. You didn't start teaching to fight SEO, social algorithms, and AI search, so those slots keep going to someone else.

We only earn when a new student actually attends an intro with you. So our job is simple: make you the one who shows up when someone nearby searches for what you teach — and keep your schedule full.

The deal

One teacher. One neighborhood. That's the deal.

Lead sites make money selling the same family to five teachers at once. We can't — because we only work with one teacher per instrument per area. When we sign you, your territory is closed. Every family we reach in your zone comes to you. It's in the contract, with your zone drawn on a map.

The pricing

Two students in 90 days, or $250 back

The founding package is $499: $249 builds your website, Google profile, and lead pipeline (yours to keep), and $250 covers your first 2 booked-and-attended intro lessons. If we don't deliver them within 90 days, that $250 comes back automatically — a refund, not a credit.

  • Your first 2 students included — booked, confirmed, and attended
  • After that, you're only charged when a new student attends an intro — in 2-student packs ($278), charged only when your balance runs out. You set a monthly cap.
  • Full calendar? Flip one switch — charges stop, your territory stays yours
What you own

Everything with your name on it is yours. Forever.

Your domain. Your Google profile. Your reviews. Your students. If you ever leave, it all goes with you — free, in writing, in the contract. We keep the machine; you keep everything it built for you. We win by filling your calendar, not by locking your door.

Questions

Common questions

Is this like Thumbtack?

It's the opposite. They charge per lead and sell each family to multiple teachers. We charge per attended student and work with exactly one teacher per area.

What if the students don't show up?

Then you pay nothing. No-shows cost us, not you. (Our reminder system keeps show rates above 80%.)

What if I fill up?

One switch: "Accepting new students — off." Charges stop, marketing pauses, your territory stays yours.

Is the first message to families a bot?

The first replies are automated so no family ever waits — and every conversation is visible to you. Type in any thread and the automation instantly steps back.

I already have a website.

Keep it — your domain stays yours. You don't transfer anything; you just point it at us, and we rebuild the site on it so it's wired into the whole machine: your Google profile drives "lessons near me" searches to it, and every inquiry it captures gets answered in under 60 seconds and booked onto your calendar. You own the result — if you ever leave, the site and domain go with you.

Why is $249 non-refundable?

It pays for real work delivered in week one: your site, your Google profile, your pipeline. The results half ($250) is the guaranteed part.

What happens when my 2 included students are used?

Nothing, until you want more. When your balance hits zero and you're still accepting students, the system adds a 2-student pack ($278). You set a monthly cap, and you can turn it off anytime.

Why a founding group

We're building this with a small group first

We're a small team building this in the open, and we're keeping the founding group small so we can deliver real results for every member before we scale. In return, founding members lock in the $499 founding rate (it goes up after the first spots fill), get priority on every new feature, and directly shape what we build.

All we ask: share your teaching content so our system can generate your marketing, give honest feedback, and be patient while your visibility builds over weeks, not days.

Founder's note: I'm building this in Albuquerque first, personally onboarding every founding coach. You'll have my cell number. — The FMLS founder

Limited founding spots

Start filling your schedule with local students

We keep the founding group small — a limited number of private lesson businesses per metro area — so every member actually fills their schedule before we scale.
