I think you'll find that it will not be "made worth your while"; it's not anyone's concern but yours to do that. If you were famous and in demand, it might happen. > But I'm also working a > full time job, so I can't do it often (I have to take vacation time to > do it). But finding such gigs is even harder, I would think. That's why they call it "being an enterpreneur" rather than "having a steady secure job". Having the time to do what your business demands - as opposed to doing what someone else's business demands - is prerequisite to _having_ your own business. If you can only do classes during vacation time or weekends, it's an amusing hobby that makes a few bucks on the side, not a business. No amount of advice or tricks o'the trade is going to mitigate that requirement. I was teaching a 5-day course in Sacramento last week, I'm doing the same in NYC this week, and I already have several other dates scheduled in the next couple of months. I can assure you that I did *not* get here by waiting for someone to "make it worth my while" or being otherwise occupied when I'm needed.
