4 Ways For Coaches and Consultants to Earn Passive Income with Done-for-You Content

We’d all love to be that person who seems to attract money no matter what they do. 

You know what I mean: the guy who never seems to lift a finger yet consistently brings in revenue from somewhere mysterious (but legal). Or the woman who drifts from beach to beach ( posting to Instagram every time), sipping cocktails paid for by, well, no one really knows.

But as the old adage goes… there’s no such thing as a free lunch. 

Despite what we’re led to believe by dodgy Facebook ads promising the kind of life where zero effort results in massive rewards, it just doesn’t work like that.

Creating successful streams of passive income requires effort. Regardless of the model you choose, you must work to set it up and then maintain it. The key is knowing what method will work best with what you already have, especially without taking up a lot of time.

Speed Up Your Path to Passive Income With Done-for-You PLR Content

Sure, you could put in the back-breaking work of writing, filming, and editing online courses to add a suite of digital products to your business… or you could buy a ready-to-sell PLR course/product and add your own branding and voice.

PLR stands for Private Label Rights, which gives you the right to purchase and tweak a product before selling it as your own. Finding high-quality PLR products can be tricky, but thankfully, there are a few options available that can drastically reduce the resources required. 

And they're extremely affordable. 

You can use Content Sparks' brandable, done-for-you content to put together a range of passive income streams… in a fraction of the time. Once you customize your PLR products to match your brand and tone, they will be ready to sell. Oh, and if you head to the bottom of this post, then you’ll get a link to a free PLR product you can use right away.

Let’s look at 4 favorite options to put that product to work for your business…

4 Ways Coaches and Consultants Can Earn Passive Income

Ready to scale your coaching or consulting business well past six figures? Here are the four best ways to do it:

  • Sell online courses
  • Sell eBooks
  • Join affiliate programs to sell digital products
  • Use your content as a low-ticket offer

Passive Income From Online Courses

Use sites such as Teachable, Thinkific, and Udemy as platforms to share your expertise with others. 

You can create a course on pretty much whatever you like on those platforms. All you have to do is prepare and upload it, and then you can start selling to students immediately. You don’t have to do too much after the initial set up because all of the content of the course is pre-prepared.

With self-paced, recorded courses, students will join and work their way through lessons at their own speed, so it’s not like you’ll have to take time out of your day to host classes.

To create online courses with brandable content:

  • Divide your done-for-you course book into separate lessons within larger modules
  • Tailor language and examples to make it relevant to your specific audience
  • Create videos of yourself teaching the course to make it more dynamic, or use the slides to create slideshow videos (or a mix of both)
  • Use done-for-you worksheets and resources for PDF downloads
  • Charge students a premium for courses with multimedia or extra support, like video and audio versions or a Facebook Group
  • Use part of it as a lead magnet to encourage people to buy the full course

Don't forget to put your branding on everything too!

Passive Income From eBooks

eBooks are along the same lines as an online course. 

Creating an eBook from your Content Sparks content isn’t just a great way of drawing in passive income. Publishing any kind of book gives you the extra benefit of expanding your reputation as an expert in your field.

Since the eBook is already created with brandable content, all you need to do is spend a little time making things your own. Here's how to put together eBooks with done-for-you content:

  • Tweak wording and examples to make it directly relevant to your audience
  • Use your branding throughout the eBook to ensure that it’s associated with you
  • Create an eCover that would be relevant to your audience
  • Add a story or two of your own or anything you feel is missing
  • Once you're happy with everything, save it as a PDF, upload it, and set up a sales page.

Now all you have to do is drive traffic to that page, or try offering the eBook as an entry-level paid product for people who don't want to buy something bigger yet.

Build Passive Income With Affiliates

In addition to using your done-for-you content to create paid products, you can also include passive income extras in what you publish. One of the most successful methods of doing this is affiliate marketing. Set yourself up as an affiliate for products or services that your audience might be interested in, and include those links within your content.

To get started with affiliate marketing:

  • Join affiliate marketplaces to find the right products for your customer base
  • Sign up to be an affiliate for any tools, programs, or other resources you use in your business
  • Create a list of recommended resources as a bonus in your courses and eBooks (with affiliate links)
  • Send out affiliate recommendations as a P.S. in follow-up emails to your leads and customers
  • Recommend helpful affiliate products in your social media groups
  • Include affiliate links where relevant in other instances of your published content (like lead magnets and blog posts)

IMPORTANT: Make sure that anything you recommend is something you would use yourself. If you start recommending junk products or bad services, your reputation could be damaged beyond repair.

Use Your Content as an Introduction

earn passive income streams within content

At the end of the day, it’s those big sales that are going to bring you a substantial income. If your sales funnel is designed to achieve a specific goal, use your content to nudge people along and make it happen with zero input from you (aside from the initial set-up, of course).

Include a Call-to-Action within your content to push people in the right direction once they're done digesting it. Creating the perfect CTA can mean the difference between a big sale and never hearing from a potential customer again. 

To use your done-for-you content as an introduction to paid offers:

  • Repurpose content for different parts of your sales funnel to boost conversions, educating people on your topic in a variety of places and media formats
  • Create a bonus/low-ticket offer to add to a larger program and encourage a sale
  • Offer ‘content upgrades' within blog posts to attract leads for specific products, including links to your products within that lead magnet.
  • Create educational content that then promotes other people’s products and services to make an affiliate commission.

When it comes to generating passive income using the weapons that you have in your content arsenal, you’re only really limited by your imagination. The most important thing to remember is that value = revenue since your audience is actively looking for quality, relevant content. This is the stuff that really converts, so use what you have at your disposal with done-for-you content and adapt it to your needs.
