I'm on a low budget, but I have an amazing music studio and know Ableton live really good. I can make an exceptional track in an hour. I want to get local customers to come over, and get a 3 hour lesson, for around $65. I'll have pricing tables, testimonials, pictures, maybe pro video, as well as videos I've streamed of myself producing.

Anyway, obviously my target audience is the younger crowd (or older too), but who should I target? Parents, since they have money?

Also, can't I advertise this on Craigslist? I was also thinking of having Meet-Ups, in which case I should upsell my web development gigs too.

An issue I'm facing is there aren't a lot of searches for this, so I might have to attend shows and talk to people, potentially passing out flyers. I'm also trying to get in touch with venues to throw our own shows, which I get plenty of attendees surprisingly, and passing out a flyer / networking.

But what young adult is going to dish out 3 days of lessons?

I currently don't have money for ads.

I can also monetize my YouTube videos with affiliate links, as well as give online lessons, or even make private videos and have a subscription for it.

The main issue I have is WHO to advertise to.
 
What i see, the main issue is not to whom you should advertise. Instead, you should consider what do people want to get from what you can provide. Do they want to learn the skills or do they want to have such skills to attract girls? Do they want to learn this as a hobby, or do they think they could use this to make money or even a future career? The question list goes on. After having answered all these questions to yourself, it will be more clear, who should be your main target customers, and how you should prepare your products accordingly.
 
Or, you create a youtube channel like produce like a pro or musician on mission and make a blog around it
 
Interesting because I do get girls, whom have ruined my relationship. But I do it 100% about the music. I limit myself to a couple shows per year. Ive played festivals out of country.

As far as YouTube goes, I will look into ways to promote my channel and monetize it. Are straight Amazon links allowed or do they have to be myurl.com/productredirect?

I live stream a lot across several websites using... err ill get back to you on what service I use, but I go live on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch and more. I think I'll write a curriculum, and only have certain videos free, and attempt to have a subscription service where they can see me produce new tracks? Maybe Patreon would work. I'll make a Craigslist post later.

Btw I owe Facebook like $200 in ads. Can I create a new account and transfer ownership of my page to have a clean slate? Not that I think FB ads would work unless I make a really nice video, which is probably possible with my Google XL3 and nice looking studio. I rent all Adobe software.

For the subscription only videos, I will market with bots on Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr, and anything that makes sense. I'll also create Playlists on Spotify and Deezer. I want some merch too, any sites that fulfill orders automatically and ship them? Aka auto-pilot.

Hot damn this is quite the project and not even my main one, though it is in a lot of ways.

Btw I can cater to any skill level. It would be a dick move and I would lose the customer for 1 on 1s if they know basics, and I start saying shit like, this is how you make audio come out of the computer.

Oh oh oh, and I added a blog for traffic and monetization. I'll also have online lessons, where they can watch me on YouTube and chat with me while they watch in high quality.
