Kate Toon

How is your book helping others?

I wrote this to help people stop exchanging their time for money, and instead build a lucrative, high-profit digital business doing what they know and love.

Inspired by my own experience of making millions through automated digital passive income products such as courses, digital downloads, memberships and masterminds, I’ve written it as a step-by-step guide on turning skills and services into one-to-many profitable products.

In it, I walk readers through positioning, processes, pricing and profile building, explaining the tech, the marketing, the sales tactics and how to keep customers coming back for more.

Creating passive income through digital products is an amazing way to earn a living. It’s given me freedom, community, a creative outlet and a nice lifestyle. But it does take work and patience. I believe anyone can achieve the entrepreneurial dream of making money in their sleep, and this book spills the secrets on exactly how.
