Recently, I’ve signed my son up for classes taught at community centers. One is an organized sport which was opened at Las Sendas Clubhouse where we live, other two were classes at Red Mountain Multigenerational Center on Adobe and Power.
This article by Arizona Republic shows many professionals are teaching at community centers for what they would normally charge their private clients. It’s win-win for both community residents and professionals. You can even teach subjects such as art, modeling, magic, and not just crafts or little exercise as it used to be.
Unlike teaching at community colleges, recreation centers do not always require graduate degree or even a bachelor’s to teach. During hard times, if you have something people are wiling to learn, that can be a new source of income.
I wonder if I should offer courses on Internet marketing. Would anyone sign up?
What if you’re a restaurant owner hoping to create buzz about upcoming menu? Would that build community relationship for you? If you can deliver great content, the word about your business will spread because people who take classes from you care about their hobbies and interests.
In fact, connect with these people, overwhelm them with your expertise, convert them as fans who will talk to people outside your reach.
Smart marketing, eh?
