I didn't go about that much. The music university had two students  
focusing on live looping for their exam concerts and they contacted  
me as an external advisor. The school has a little budget for paying  
teachers brought in form the outside world. I also teach the software  
Logic, and that's just the same. Studios and schools call me up. When  
that happens I set up a course schedule asap and send over, so they  
will see what good stuff they will be paying me for ;-)

I think the trick is to get the word around about what you are good  
at and good at teaching others. When I released a book with another  
guy we both got many offers as speakers. Although I'm not doing it, I  
guess you can market yourself by calling the right people and tell  
them that your specific skills may fit in as a special event that can  
inspire what they are normally doing. Oh...  almost forgot, I did a  
little marketing three years ago when Rick Walker and Matthias Grob  
came over to Sweden to play. It took almost six months of phone calls  
and mailing but the effort made it possible for me to book a tour  
with only paid concerts that left some bags of money to split at the  
end. The strategy is simple: it's just about doing the research.  
taking the action and keeping it up. (the downside is that  
administrational work is so boring ;-)
