162. What Could I Actually Sell in an OT Online Business?
What can you actually sell in an online occupational therapy business?
It's one of the most common questions I hear from OTs who want to move beyond traditional, time-for-money practice. And it's often the question that stops people from getting started.
You might have years of clinical experience but no idea how to turn it into an online offer. Perhaps you've got too many ideas and can't decide which one to pursue. Or maybe you have a clear idea but aren't sure how to package it into something people will actually pay for.
In this episode, Beki Eakins explores how Occupational Therapists can turn their existing knowledge, skills and experience into a high-value online offer.
Rather than simply transferring face-to-face therapy onto Zoom or creating another course, the focus is on building a structured programme around a meaningful transformation.
Beki explores five building blocks that can form part of an online OT offer: coaching and mentoring, accountability, education, community, and practical or holistic support.
She also explains why your first business idea might not be your strongest, why you don't necessarily need another qualification, and why testing your offer with paying customers before creating the entire programme can save you a lot of wasted effort.
If you're an Occupational Therapist considering an online business, struggling to decide what to sell or wondering how to turn your expertise into something more scalable, this episode will help you start looking at the possibilities differently.
