My number one bit of advice is don’t instruct for free. My club expects the instructors to work for free. It’s the main reason I don’t do my CFI-G. I feel that the student should pay for it. $40 per hour is a pretty reasonable rate. Leave the club out of it and have the student pay the instructors directly.

I disagree. Getting paid for it makes it a job, jobs suck. There is a circular problem, the less CFIs the less fun it is to be a CFI. Instructing is great when you have a large pool of instructors taking turns. I don't have an answer beyond encouraging those that you think would be good at it to go for it.

I completely agree.
44 years instructing because I like to do it.
Money would not make it a better experience for me.
