What to expect from this event

Join us IN PERSON for a relaxed and interactive workshop to discover your first steps into self-employment. If you're not sure quite what you'd like to do, or you've already spotted an opportunity, we'll walk you through how to get started.

We’ll cover a range of income opportunities, including earning from YouTube, affiliate marketing, digital downloads, and memberships. You’ll also learn the essentials of running an online business—covering taxes, legal considerations, GDPR, and mailing lists—all explained in plain English.

Plus, we’ll discuss building your audience, website options, and the practical side of working as a digital nomad, and this in-person session will let you network with other business owners.

Whether you’re looking for a side hustle or dreaming of being your own boss, this workshop is your gateway to getting started.
