Running Paid Online Workshops for Patients, Companies and Societies

A live online workshop sits between a group class and an online course. You teach live, people ask questions, and you reach 20 or 200 people in one hour. Workshops are quicker to make than a full course, and a good way to test whether people will pay for your teaching.

Topics that work

  • Back and neck pain for work-from-home professionals.

  • Posture for school children, for parents.

Choose topics patients ask you about every week.

Two types of buyers

  • Individuals pay a small fee each. You need many of them.
  • Organisations such as IT companies, housing societies, schools, clubs and senior citizen groups pay one fee. Fewer sales, bigger amounts. See online ergonomics consulting.

Plan the hour

About 40 minutes of teaching, a short exercise demonstration, and 15 minutes of questions. Keep slides simple. Share a one-page summary afterwards.

Keep it general

A workshop is education. Tell people that individual problems need an individual assessment, and give them a way to book. Many attendees become patients. See online booking.

Fill the seats

Share it with your contact list, your patients, and society or company WhatsApp groups through someone who manages them. Record it (with permission) to offer again later.

Price and follow up

Keep individual tickets affordable. For companies and societies, quote per session. After the workshop, send the summary and a booking link, and ask what topic they want next.

Frequently asked questions

Can physiotherapists charge for online workshops?

Yes. Workshops are education, and individuals or organisations can pay for them.

How many people can join?

As many as your video platform allows, but keep question time manageable.

Do workshops bring new patients?

Often. People who find the session useful frequently book an assessment.
