When Blessing started her small catering business, she had one goal to make enough from her passion to support her family. She’d mastered the art of baking soft, rich cakes and delicious pastries that everyone loved. Friends encouraged her to “teach others,” so she decided to host a paid baking workshop for beginners. It sounded simple enough, until she started planning.
The Challenge
Blessing quickly realized that collecting payments, keeping track of participants, and confirming attendance was more complicated than baking itself. Some people promised to pay “on the day.” Others sent partial payments she couldn’t trace. And when she tried using social media DMs and screenshots to organize it all, things got confusing. She wanted something that looked professional something that could help her grow, not stress her out. That’s when she found EventsGrid.
The Setup
With EventsGrid, Blessing created a clean event page for her baking class in minutes. She set her price, described what the students would learn, uploaded photos of her cakes, and added flexible payment options. People started signing up immediately. Some paid in full; others chose to pay in two parts all automatically tracked on her dashboard. No mix-ups, no chasing anyone for receipts.
The Turning Point
By the time the workshop started, Blessing had full attendance. Everyone’s payment was complete, and EventsGrid released the funds to her based on her selection of payout option before the event right when she needed to buy ingredients and materials. The session went smoothly. Her students were happy, and before the day ended, they were already asking for an advanced class. Blessing repeated the process two weeks later same page, new date and now she runs regular workshops every month.
What Helped Her Succeed
Here’s what made the difference for Blessing:
- Flexible Payments helped people afford her class easily.
It wasn’t just a one-time event anymore it became a steady source of income.
The Lesson
Sometimes, growth comes from making things simple. Blessing didn’t need a big team or expensive software. She just needed a platform that handled the details while she focused on what she loved teaching and baking. Create Your Event Now Register on www.eventsgrid.com
