One day workshops, classes, and teachings.

Some answers to your questions:

1. Any ideas on the format of the classes?

format depends on length of class and topic. for example when I presented an investing class (3 hours) it was formatted by topic.

Like "Opening Remarks/anecdotes, main idea,
Q & A, etc"

Yes, ALWAYS have opening remarks with a "what you will learn from this class" sentence or two.

2. Apart from Craigslist, what other traffic
sources do you recommend?

your local chamber of commerce, library, fraternal organization, charities, etc.

3. Do you record the classes so you can still
sell the transcripts?

I never did but would do so today. It is smart to have your presentation recorded so you can sell the recordings or give them to people who can give you a bigger and better venue. Just one use btw.

4. And yes, how do you handle stage fright?

You are presenting the class so YOU are the expert. Don't forget that. They paid to hear YOU educate them. What is there to be afraid of?

5. OK... that should be enough for now!

OK, it should

Thank you!

If I ask for more answers than these, I'll
just be over-thinking this...

What type of refreshments served, if any?

I received your PM and attempted to answer. Hope you received it. If not, here is my answer:

None. The people could bring tea, water, coffee, soda if they desired. To me, it was a waste of time and an interruption. On the other hand, when we were going after 5K, 10K or more, we had coffee and water. Hope that helps.
