I'm thinking about putting together a 2 or 3-day workshop (I could stretch it out longer to provide more support and get a bigger payout) to teach people how to set up a location-independent freelance business like the one I run. Obviously, it's more ideal to just create a book or info product, and I have finally got around to making headway on the book, but I thought the workshops would be a good way to pull in a bit of extra cash while in tourist locations and provide an excuse to get off my computer and do something more social.
Target market would be expats who are dying to make some extra money abroad and backpackers who would do anything to keep the dream alive longer. I've thrown the idea out there in conversations, and people definitely sound interested. I mean, when the uninitiated learn what I do, you can see the way their eyes just light up... Of course, testing the market for viability before spending too much time and effort would be a cinch as well.
I could post up in a beach locale somewhere until I was ready to go somewhere new and then head out. Since it's a temp event, there's no obligation to stay in one place.
The reason I'm posting this is to pose this question - as fellow travelers, what would you see as a reasonable price to pay for something like this, assuming you were convinced that it really would provide you with a way to make money, often very considerable money, while traveling around the world?
Concern with backpackers is they travel on light budgets, but I believe a lot of them do have access to cash for something they think is worth it, and of course there is quite a bit of variance among the crowd too. Expats may be the better market because they often have more funds and many really are dying for a way to find employment in their country of choice. This is an option for them floating under the radar, so I think they'd pay well for it.
Suggestions welcome.

Beyond All Seas
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
