The Productized Solopreneur System

In 2020, I thought becoming a designer would fix my life. I had no degree, no money, and spent nights watching YouTube tutorials while working another customer service job that made me question reality itself.

Fast forward to 2025, and everything I thought about that decision has changed.

Skills aren't enough anymore. AI isn't the enemy (yet), it's a reminder.

The reminder is: If you don't package what you do into something people instantly understand, someone else will. As for the tech industry? It's shifting faster than the Autobots, and most people can keep up.

Queue drumroll… That’s why you need a future-proof system.

So let's talk about productizing your service so you can stop applying on LinkedIn hoping someone notices you, and start selling your work like a business that YOU control. Be the one who charges $1,000+ for a single project and sets the rules.

Turning your skill or service into a product is the most direct and long-lasting way to control your income and automate it using AI (instead of hiding from it).

This is the exact plan I'd take if I were starting as a solopreneur today.

For example purposes, I'll frame it from a designer's perspective, but anyone with a service can do this.

I’ll show you how! 👇

First time reading?

By packaging what you do into a product with clear outcomes, you can sell your offer without stuttering to strangers, grow a skill sharper and faster than generalists, and charge top dollar because you're the expert of that one thing.

The creator economy is worth $250 billion and is growing fast, but when I say "creator," I'm not just talking about influencers. I mean solopreneurs who utilize content or newsletter marketing to generate leads and revenue forever.

The issue is that many solopreneurs don't clearly define their services and skills, which confuses potential clients. When clients are confused, they are less likely to make a purchase. If your services are vague and your skills aren't clear, you'll blend in with others, and confused clients just won't buy from you. ✋

This is your business now, and you set the rules. Will you put in the work?

Let's blow this popsicle stand and get to it. 👇

A 4-module blueprint to turn your service into a product that attracts clients.

This system walks you through the exact steps I'd take if I were starting from zero today. Don’t worry, I took out the parts where I screwed up, so you don’t have to.

Each module builds on the last, so by the end you'll have a complete business foundation that works whether you're new or experienced. ✨

Walk away knowing exactly what you sell, who you help, and why your message instantly lands with the right people.

You'll create your 10-Word Outcome Test (which I first introduced here), build your Problem → Promise formula, and craft your one-sentence identity anchor that you can use across your entire brand.

Mind Potion included: Why reducing cognitive load (stress) increases conversions by making decisions feel effortless.

Turn your skill into a clear, sellable product your audience instantly understands.

You'll use the Productized Offer Pyramid to package your service into one problem, one promise, one method, one delivery format, one price, and one timeline. This removes decision fatigue (possible tears) and builds trust. 🤝

If you want a deeper breakdown of turning your raw skill into a packaged product, I covered the fundamentals here.

Mind Potion included: Why fixed offers with clear outcomes convert better than custom services.

Give your offer a place to live loud and proud so people can find it, understand it, and take the next step.

You'll build your subscription page, homepage, and offer page on Beehiiv using simple step-by-step templates and design best practices. This will hatch into your storefront, the place where your message and offer come to life and land into your audience’s laps.

Why Beehiiv? With the new update, it gives you a clean, professional home for your brand that you own. It's simple to maintain, easy to scale, and sets you up for the LinkedIn → Beehiiv flywheel in the next module.

Create a simple content system that grows your audience, builds trust, moves people toward your offer, and compounds in value over time.

You'll learn the 3-post LinkedIn structure (pre-CTA, post-CTA, open slot), how to write a weekly newsletter that educates and converts, and how to drive traffic from LinkedIn to your Beehiiv home.

Why LinkedIn and Beehiiv together? LinkedIn is where your ideal clients already are (if you're targeting founders, creatives, or professionals). Your audience becomes your testing ground for direct feedback to build out future offers. The longer you run this, the less you have to fight strangers to hire you because you're too busy building your own damn business. 😤

This is the system I wish I had in 2020. It works whether you're new or experienced. It's your system, and you can improve it and make it more efficient as you go. Ship it ugly and just start.

The good news about creating a productized offer of your own is that it may not be perfect at first, but you'll have a clear plan to continue your entrepreneurship journey. And you can split this flagship system into sub-products as you blossom.

The keys to the system are there if you’re ready.

I built this for an earlier version of me. A designer too stubborn to go back to customer service. Maybe the same version of you that you’re trying to move on from now. The one who applied for thousands of jobs, hoped someone would notice them, and wondered if their skills were even worth it.

So if you feel lost right now, you're not behind. You're just one offer away from some clarity.

If your offer feels vague, your landing page gets clicks but not customers, or you're stuck at "interested, but not buying," this is for you.

Over 4 weeks, we'll work together 1-on-1 each week to tighten your offer, message, and first-time experience so your product is easier to understand and easier to buy.

You’ll walk away with:
