Industry expertise, communication, coaching or facilitation

IDEAL FOR

Ideal for experienced professionals who enjoy teaching and advising others.

FIT CHECK

Perfect for reflection-focused creators who enjoy developing guided worksheets and visual planning tools.

STEP-BY-STEP BUSINESS STARTUP

1. Choose a niche for the newsletter (tech, health, parenting)
2. Curate high-quality content or write originals
3. Use Substack, Beehiiv, or ConvertKit
4. Build audience with lead magnets and referrals
5. Monetize through sponsorships or premium tiers

COMMON MISTAKES

Overpromising results without validation, skipping product walkthroughs, or neglecting buyer education.

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC) CONSIDERATIONS

Reflection-based content marketed to boost productivity should be sold under an LLC to limit liability and simplify taxes. Distributing personal development tools for mental clarity is a business — use an LLC to manage income and protect yourself. Offering clarity kits or planning bundles? Treat your shop like a business—set up an LLC.
