Workshop Factory: Automate Paid Micro‑Workshops into Retainers

Turn a single 45-minute paid micro-workshop into a repeatable income funnel you can run from anywhere. Marcus walks through a travel-friendly 'Workshop Factory' — the exact AI prompts, compact tool stack (ChatGPT, SlidesAI/Beautiful.ai, Calendly, Stripe, Typeform, Zapier/Make, Notion/Notecard), and step-by-step automations to produce paid workshops, capture attendees, and upsell retainers. You'll get copy-ready prompts (example: 'Write a 45-minute workshop outline for freelance SEO audits aimed at small hotels: 3 learning objectives, 30-minute hands-on exercise, 10-minute Q&A, and a closing retainer pitch'), a slide-generation prompt (example: 'Create an 8-slide deck with speaker notes and a hands-on exercise template'), pricing templates, and Sofia-approved quality checks to keep outputs ethical and high-quality. By episode end you'll have a 10-minute checklist to launch your first automated workshop funnel and a clear path to convert attendees into visa-qualifying, recurring clients.
