    E1: My Journey To Building A MULTI-SIX-FIGURE Music Teaching Business Online

    Rate, Review, & Follow On Apple Podcast In this first episode, I overview how I got into the online space by starting a Youtube channel in 2014, barely making $30k a year in my day jobs, to now making over $250k exclusively online in 2023. I figured out early on that if I were to succeed with this business, I needed to learn about the business side of music, online marketing, and growing an online following.  My thrust for this knowledge led me to podcasts and audiobooks on business and mindset. One of the books that helped me tremendously that EVERY listener to this podcast should read is;  "FINISH" by Jon Acuff. This is a MUST-read as it will help with the mindset shift necessary to start and maintain an online business.

    Music educators, have you ever considered bringing your teaching skills online? You could double, triple, and even quadruple your current income while working fewer hours and doing it from the comfort of your home. Teaching online allows you to escape the classroom, the one-to-one lesson studios, and the grueling gigging schedule. I not only know this is possible, it is within your reach.  I can confidently say that because that is what I’ve been doing full-time for six years. I’ve amassed a social following of over 200k subscribers on Youtube, over 45k on Facebook, over 20k on TikTok, and over 14k on Instagram. This social following has allowed me to build an online business that generates multiple 6-figures in annual revenue, teaching piano lessons to thousands of people worldwide.  I do all this from home and spend less than 8 hours daily in this business.  Over the past six years and through lots of trial and error, I have learned all the necessary steps to build a multi 6-figure music education business online.  My name is Warren McPherson, the founder and CEO of Pianolessonwithwarren.com.
