I'm a Canadian who runs his own business. I have a university degree
and I conduct three-day courses in Canada. I'm sure there would be a
market for my courses in the United States and the classes would be
larger. Some of the participants would mail the registration fee to me
in Canada in advance, but others would pay at the door in the US?

I would plan to go to the US for two weeks to run the courses about
once every four months.

Do I need an H1-B Visa? Is there a better way to do this? I don't have
one of the occupations eligible for a TN Visa as far as I can tell.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try a business visa

That would be working and requires a work visa.
Do I need an H1-B Visa?

That would require a sponsoring employer.
Is there a better way to do this?

Unfortunately, if you don't qualify for a TN visa I don't think there is.
