help promote your online business offline. Teaching is an excellent way to market your online business offline because it simultaneously gets your story out, while establishing you as an expert in a way that can be used both on and offline.
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute — These are often housed in a local community college or university you can do a quick Google to find out where one is located near you. Then you simply contact them to offer your services to teach a class in your area of expertise. They will send you information back about how long the class should be, and the available schedule. Then you will have to submit curriculum.
You will not be paid for these services although if your class needs to purchase supplies they will charge a fee. Depending upon where and who is in charge of your local center you may or may not be able to overtly advertise but you'll be seen as an expert by everyone around you, and you can tell what you do in your introduction which will be live, and in your handouts as well as in the class schedule online and offline.
Create your own venue — You can rent a venue in order to teach your class. The good thing about this method is you can choose to charge, or not to charge and market on the back end. To make this work you will need to have awesome professional physical products to sell when your event is over, as well as information that will lead them to your website to join your membership program, purchase your services, or other products.
Do not over look inexpensive venues such as churches, community centers, and even apartment complex club houses to rent as a place to teach your class. You can make it a one day class, or a multi day class. Check with your chamber of commerce to see if they have space too. Having your own venue is nice when you're trying to market your online business offline because you make the rules.
Teach to clubs — There are many clubs and organizations that have "educational" programs who will be happy to have you come teach them something about your niche. From the senior center, to local mom clubs you can find a group that will want you to teach them what you know about your niche.
