A solo yoga or pilates instructor can add recurring income by joining a free affiliate program and sharing one wellness referral link with students, no studio, inventory, or medical role required.
If you teach independently, you already have the two things that make referrals work: a trusted relationship with students and a steady reason to talk about health. The MedStands affiliate program turns that trust into recurring income without asking you to sell anything, stock anything, or give medical advice.
Why this fits an independent teacher
As a solo instructor you meet students who are already curious about wellness. Some of them ask about energy, recovery, sleep, or weight support, and today you have nowhere useful to point them. A referral link gives you a simple, honest answer.
Here is what the program is, and is not:
- It is free to join, with no setup fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to buy.
- You share a personal link or QR code. Students who sign up through it are attributed to you with lifetime tracking.
- You earn a fixed marketing fee for each active referred customer, set in advance and paid to your bank every month for as long as that customer stays active.
- It is not a cut of sales, and you never handle medication, inventory, or prescriptions.
Because the fee is fixed and known ahead of time, your earnings stay predictable and grow as more students stay active. The clinical side is completely separate from you.
How to start as a solo instructor
You can be up and running in an afternoon.
- Join the affiliate program at /for-affiliates and confirm your details.
- Get your personal link and QR code from your dashboard.
- Add the QR code where students already look: your class sign-in area, mat-side signage, your booking page, your newsletter, or your Instagram bio.
- Mention it naturally when wellness comes up, then let the licensed providers handle everything clinical.
That last point matters. You are pointing the way, not practicing medicine.
What your students actually get
Your link leads to a LegitScript-certified telehealth platform where licensed providers review each request and licensed pharmacies handle fulfillment, refills, and shipping. MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies.
Students may explore options such as GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide for weight support, NAD+ or MIC-B12 for energy, GHK-Cu or glutathione as part of the wellness catalog, or sildenafil and tadalafil where relevant. What any student is eligible for, and any dosing, is decided by the licensed provider, not by you.
Common questions
Do I need a studio to earn?
No. This is built for the independent teacher. A solo instructor with a single ongoing class list can share one link and earn from active referred customers.
Is this a cut of what students spend?
No. You earn a fixed marketing fee per active referred customer, set in advance, paid monthly for as long as they stay active. It is not tied to what anyone spends.
Do I give medical advice or handle medication?
Never. Licensed providers prescribe and licensed pharmacies fulfill, refill, and ship. You only share a link and never touch inventory or prescriptions.
What does it cost me to join?
Nothing. Joining is free, with no setup fee and no monthly fee.
