Paid Micro-Workshops: Turn a 60 - 90 Minute Paid Session into a $5K+ Retainer

Episode notes

Aria Reyes breaks down a pragmatic, ethics-first system for using paid micro-workshops as both revenue and qualifying funnel for premium retainers. You’ll learn how to package a 60 - 90 minute paid session that delivers immediate, measurable value, uses lightweight AI diagnostics as prework, and ends with a clear, low-risk next-step offer that maps to a $5K+ retainer. The episode covers pricing rationale, a one-paragraph slide script that establishes authority, the exact follow-up sequence that converts, and client filters that keep your calendar clean. I walk a real nomad example: a freelance marketer who ran a $150 paid workshop, converted a $7K/month retainer, and stayed under 10 weekly hours. Expect a 3-step blueprint you can deploy in 7 days, practical delegation and automation tactics to scale without burnout, and an immediate action step so you leave with a sellable workshop outline.
