What is the value of a thought? – Teaching Social Media for $1

After switching jobs, having surgery, being laid off, and denied unemployment, faced with mounting debt, bills, and the financial stresses of starting my own web and millennial strategist business, why in the hell - some people ask - do I teach weekly, hour-long social media classes for $1?
