Sorry it didn’t work for you Todd. making money from google takes a lot of energy and time. I have a friend who spent nearly 2 years putting quality musical content before making some. Anyway that’s the past.

A lot of woodworkers have been switching to a paying content model with some classes. I personally shun the paying website and prefer the real class.
My only suggestion would be to incorporate evening and weekend classes as I have notice that a lot of people who are not woodworker flock to the craft.
They all have day jobs so evening and weekends are perfect.
A lot of the students like to leave at the end of the class with something they built.
My teacher Jim, Made sure His students finish their projects. I was the only black sheep:)
Jim also made sure the women who attended the class are fully incorporated. By the third class there were more women than men.
he also called on his past students to say hello and find the time to chat. All PR I am sure you are aware of. The net result is all of them were repeat students.
I can tell you he is doing really good.

I wish the best in you new journey.
