Understand the nature of attending a “free workshop”
I started attending various types of “free” workshops since I was 17 years old. I wanted to learn as much as possible, especially about business and financials. While doing so, my uncle gave me the best advise, “just attend and learn what it is about, but do not subscribe or spend money, unless it is absolutely beneficial.” It went along with my financial situation, I was on my first year in university and I truly didn’t have extra money to spend anyway. So I started attending workshops and interacted workshop hosts and other attendees - to know how they heard about the workshop and why they were there.
If you are curious why businesses host a “free workshop,” the answer is simple - to make money by getting attendees to sign-up for their product/service; however, for people like me, they introduced themselves, the business model, and why to be part of them? I understand that I might not subscribe to their product/service for time being, perhaps I will refer someone else who is interested if I find value into it, and simply become a source of referral. This is one of the common way of publicizing your business and service.
Below find some of the “free workshops” that I have attended and are educational, however, this is not a solicitation and please review their website before your register:
