PAIRED connects V1 instructors directly with golfers in the V1 app. There is no marketplace bidding and no revenue share — every dollar a matched golfer pays is coaching income for the pro.
Case Study: A Commission-Free Coaching Revenue Model in Practice
Ron Gring, PGA Teaching Professional
$2,000/month in new recurring revenue within 60 days
Ron had tried online coaching before and it never stuck. After setting up his branded V1 academy, he converted students he was already teaching in person into paying online members. Because V1 takes 0% commission, the full $2,000/month added in his first 60 days stayed with him — no marketplace cut, no per-lesson revenue share.
Case Study: What the Commission-Free Coaching Revenue Model Pays Out Across PAIRED
Instructors enrolled in the V1 PAIRED program
$400/month average, $5,000+ paid to pros last month
PAIRED matches V1 instructors 1:1 with golfers already using the V1 app and actively looking for coaching. The average enrolled pro earns $400/month from V1-sourced golfers, and V1 paid out over $5,000 to pros last month — a figure growing week over week. On a 20% marketplace model, that same volume would have cost the group a five-figure annual cut.
Case Study: Why the Commission-Free Coaching Revenue Model Compounds
Instructors running subscriptions inside their own academy
Revenue that keeps arriving between lessons
A per-lesson marketplace pays once and takes a slice each time. A commission-free membership inside your own academy renews every month at 100% of the price you set, on top of whatever you bill on the lesson tee. Because you own the student list and the brand, the audience you build stays yours if you ever change tools.
