Exchange Trade your services and ask for a low rent for the room when the client stops for a drink. Busy pubs are a great way to advertise and get your lessons from the local operator with posters on the back of toilet doors and get the bar staff to talk about your new class to the regulars.

Decide which night and what time slot you want to go. Monday to Thursday are the best nights, with Friday is unpredictable. Ask for availability on weekends, Saturday and Sunday mornings can be very busy, if the right kind of class.
Then work out what kind of class to teach. It should be a class that people of allages and abilities can not work if its too hard, too fast or too complicated. Consider any type of Body Conditioning.
