A question for those of you out there who have your own website to promote your teaching. (Whether you be freelance or are associated with a FBO)

How much success have you had with it? Inquiries, actual meetings with/intro flights with prospective students, actual work from your site?

I will be freelancing out of the FBO where I did my CSEL and CFI ratings. I am currently narrowing down my strategies for marketing myself, since hanging out at the FBO waiting for walk-ins and calls is not an option. I am more than welcome to teach, but I have to bring my own students and work.

I have made business cards and flyers, and have been spreading the word the best I know how. I am curious if anyone has had success with the website. As a graphic designer with a web developer for a sister, getting it designed and up would be an easy task. I don't, however, want to spend the money if it is not worth my while.

TIA for any help. 1 month since checkride passage, and I'm ready for a student!
