How to Host a Virtual Workshop That Actually Sells (Even With a Small Audience)

A few months ago, I hosted my first paid virtual workshop.

Spoiler: It sold out.

No, I don’t have 100K followers. I didn’t use ads. I didn’t even have fancy webinar software.

But I did have a clear plan, and I’m going to walk you through it, step by step.

Whether you’re a coach, creator, or just want to monetize your knowledge, here’s how to host a virtual workshop that actually sells (without begging people to sign up).

1. Pick a Pain Point - Not Just a Topic

The biggest mistake I see? Hosting a workshop around a vague theme like “productivity” or “mindset.”

Instead, ask: What’s one specific problem your audience is desperate to solve?

My first workshop was called:

“Build Your First Digital Product in 2 Hours (Live Walkthrough)”

Clear, results-based, and time-boxed. That’s what sells.

2. Pre-Sell Before You Build

I didn’t waste time making slides or setting things up until I had at least 3 people pay. I used Gumroad for pre-orders and sent a short email:

“Thinking of doing a 2-hour live workshop to help you build your first digital product, step-by-step, no fluff. Want in? $29 early bird.”

Three people signed up in the first 24 hours. That’s when I knew it was worth doing.

3. Keep It Simple, Keep It Live

You don’t need complex tools. I used:

Zoom (free version)

Google Slides

A shared Notion doc

People don’t care about production, they care about transformation. Keep it interactive, personal, and value-packed.

4. Use AI to Help You Plan (Seriously)

I asked ChatGPT:

“Help me outline a 2-hour workshop that helps beginners create a digital product from scratch.”

It gave me a solid framework in 2 minutes. I tweaked it with my own voice and examples, but it saved me hours of prep.

5. Create Urgency (But Be Honest About It)

I kept it real:

“Only 20 spots. I want to keep it interactive, not a boring lecture.”

That filled spots fast. Scarcity works, but only when it’s genuine.

6. Follow Up With Replays + Extras

After the session, I sent out:

The replay recording

The slide deck

A quick-start checklist (AI helped me build this too)

This made people feel like they got way more than they paid for—and many asked when the next one would be.

Final Thought

You don’t need a huge audience to sell a virtual workshop. You just need:

A clear problem to solve A simple, actionable format A way to make people feel seen and helped

AI made the whole thing smoother, but the secret sauce? Being real, focused, and obsessed with delivering value.

Now go plan yours, and send me the invite.

@fredacott piece from my Stitching Safari Workshop using @pat_pauly hand dyed linens (Pat’s giving a workshop at @madelineartschool in Santa Fe next month) and Kuba cloth as inspiration! Isn’t it wonderful?!

Today's Deliberate and Afraid of Nothing Virtual Workshop was Batik Mini Tote Bags. We used craft glue as the resist and acrylic paint on brown cotton Tote bags. I honestly believe in enjoying the process more than the end result, thus the unfinished bag. I believe the best part of learning a new art process is what you do with it after the workshop. So, stay tuned next week for Textile Collage Keepsake Boxes. Don't forget to register for our next class at the profile. @schliferclinic @shopapanaki @apanakitemitayom #deliberateandafraidofnothing #virtualworkshop #batikminitotebags #mentalwellness #traumainformedworkshops #artfacilitator #artistoninstagram (at Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVlOKYEvsT8/?utm_medium=tumblr
