Stacks
Turn your expertise into products that earn while you sleep.
How this stack works
Audit your consulting IP. List every framework, template, checklist, and process you use repeatedly. Identify the 2-3 assets that clients find most valuable. Use AI to help structure these into standalone, self-serve modules with instructions.
Verification: IP audit complete. 2-3 productizable assets identified and structured in Notion.
Create professional packaging for your products. Turn Notion content into polished slide decks (for courses), visual guides (for frameworks), and presentation templates. AI-assisted design means professional output without a designer.
Verification: Product materials created in professional format. Ready for buyer consumption.
List your first product. Upload files, write a compelling description, set your price, and publish. Gumroad handles payment processing, file delivery, and buyer communication. Share the link — you are now selling digital products.
Verification: Product live on Gumroad with pricing, description, and preview. Purchase flow tested.
Build a launch sequence. Create an automated email series: announce the product, share a preview, offer early-bird pricing, and follow up with buyers for testimonials. Tag subscribers by interest for future product launches.
Verification: Email sequence live with 3-5 emails. Early-bird offer configured with deadline.
Promote on LinkedIn and to your newsletter. Share the story behind the product — what client problem it solves, what insight drove its creation. Authentic storytelling outperforms hard sells. Use buyer testimonials in follow-up content.
Verification: Launch content published on LinkedIn and newsletter. First sales recorded.

Why this stack
The billable-hours ceiling is the #1 growth constraint for solo consultants. This stack breaks through it. Your consulting IP — the frameworks, templates, and processes you have refined over dozens of engagements — has value beyond the one-on-one context. Packaging it into products creates revenue that does not require your presence.
Gumroad is deliberately chosen over Kajabi, Teachable, or Podia for one reason: zero monthly fee. You pay nothing until you sell something. For consultants testing productization, this eliminates the risk of paying $99-$399/month for a course platform before validating demand. Start with Gumroad, upgrade to Kajabi when your product revenue justifies the investment.
The Kit email list is your distribution channel. Product launches to an email list of 500 engaged subscribers convert at 2-5%, generating $5,000-$25,000 per launch for a $200-$1,000 product. Building the list is the slow part — but you are building it through the Visibility Stack anyway.
