Workshop Factory: Automate Paid Live Workshops with AI to Earn Recurring Nomad Income

Episode notes

Turn one repeatable workshop into a cash-generating engine you can run from anywhere. In this episode Marcus breaks down an end-to-end "Workshop Factory" you can build in a weekend: use AI to generate the curriculum, slide deck, landing page copy, email funnel, booking flow, live facilitation script, and post-event monetization (replays, templates, micro-consulting). You get exact prompts for content generation, a compact no-code stack (ChatGPT/Claude for content, Descript for editing, Calendly + Stripe for booking/payments, Zapier/Make for automations, Carrd/Webflow for landing pages), and an implementation sprint that fits nomad schedules. I explain how a single 90-minute paid workshop can scale into monthly cohorts and retainer upsells, what quality controls to apply, and ethical guardrails to keep AI-generated advice accurate. By episode end you’ll have a concrete 30–60 minute first-action plan to launch your first paid workshop while on the road.
