3 Strategies to Transform Your Expertise into an Automated Business

You have an expertise you can turn into an automated business, whether you believe it or not. Especially if you’re a consultant, coach, speaker, writer, or business owner, and your clients already pay you for your expertise in some capacity. Yes, building such a business takes time and effort, but once it’s set up and running, you can collect a paycheck without exchanging your time for money, and who wouldn’t want that?

3 Best Ideas For Automated Businesses Based on Your Expertise

#1. Online Course

The first and fundamental step towards building an automated business is creating an online course. Leverage your expertise to develop a course that simplifies a specific aspect of your industry. For example, our eLearning Simplified Academy teaches individuals how to streamline the eLearning creation process. Remember, your course should address a genuine need within your target audience. Check out our free MasterClass for an in-depth guide on creating and successfully launching your online course.

#2. Affiliate Products

Strategic affiliate partnerships can significantly contribute to automating your business and generating passive income. Instead of blindly promoting products for profit, focus on those you genuinely believe in and have personally used. We share our success in promoting learning management systems (LMS) through affiliate links, saving our audience both time and money. Approach affiliate marketing with authenticity and build trust with your audience by promoting products you stand by.

#3. Membership

Launching a membership program is a powerful way to automate your business while fostering a sense of community among your audience. Our mentor, Graham Cochrane, emphasizes three key components for a successful membership: group coaching, valuable content, and a thriving community. While we're yet to launch our own membership, we've learned from Graham the importance of balancing content, coaching calls, and community engagement to ensure members stay actively involved and satisfied.

Conclusion

Transforming your expertise into an automated business is an exciting journey that requires strategic planning and execution. By creating an online course, promoting affiliate products thoughtfully, and eventually launching a membership, you can set the stage for sustainable, passive income.
