About this episode
If you’ve built your business online but feel called to host in-person workshops or live events… this episode is for you.
In today’s episode of Social Media Decoded, I’m sharing a live strategy session with Mariah, founder of Mariah Magazine and an SEO educator who has taught online for 10 years and is now ready to step back into in-person events—but feels nervous about where to start.
We turned her 30-minute visibility strategy session into a live podcast episode so you can hear exactly how I help entrepreneurs move from stuck to strategic.
If you’ve ever wondered how to host a workshop, plan an in-person event, price tickets, fill seats, or transition from online authority to real-life community building, this episode is your blueprint.
In This Episode We Cover:
How to transition from online business to in-person workshops
Why your first event doesn’t need 100 people

How to structure a one-day conference or half-day workshop
How to price early bird and VIP tickets

Key Takeaways
You’re not nervous — you’re evolving.
Authority online is powerful.Authority in proximity is embodied.
If you’ve been teaching, coaching, or serving online for years, hosting in-person workshops can deepen your brand, increase trust, and create powerful networking opportunities.
You don’t need more content.You need clearer positioning and a strategy that matches your next level.
