PROGRAM OPENS 2027

I’ve been there and that’s why I turned the skills I’d learned as a successful freelance copywriter into digital products with minimal effort. Within a few years I was making a million dollars a year without even changing out of my pyjamas.

In Six Figures While You Sleep: The Program I’ll show you exactly how you can transform your service-based skills into lucrative online products. Guiding you through the different options from coaching and courses to digital downloads, memberships, and masterminds.

I want to help you create reliable consistent income and longevity without burning out
.

ADPIP's

What are Automated Digital Passive Income Products (ADPIPs) ?

I needed to invent a new term for both my book and the program that included the words ‘passive income’ but made it super clear that it was digital product-based. I struggled to create something snappy or a phrase that abbreviated into a sexy little acronym. ADPIP was the best I could come up with.

ADPIPs Include:

Digital Downloads

Who it’s not for

Those looking for a get rich quick scheme. Despite what you read online, digital downloads, courses, memberships, and masterminds are not going to make you overnight millionaires and often those sharing their miraculous success are either stretching the truth or have done a lot behind the scenes to get there.
I have made millions via my courses, but it’s been over years, not months.

I wouldn’t always recommend this program to those who do not have at least a basic understanding of digital marketing. We won’t be starting right at the beginning, so if tools like Canva scare you and you’re not sure what email platform you’re using, then this probably isn’t a good fit.

The product you create in this program, could be valued at $3k or more.
You’ll only need to sell one to cover the cost of this program, but you’re going to sell many more than that.

The goal of this program

In this program I share the exact roadmap for taking your existing skills and turning them into digital assets. It’s not a smug, chest-beaty play-by-play of my success – instead, it’s an honest, realistic plan for how to create your success.

This is a live, guided and supported program with me, Kate Toon. I’ll be there every step of the way to show you what to do and keep you accountable. Not only that but you’ll have a community of other eager humans on the same journey.

By the end of the program not you’ll not only be equipped with the practical knowledge of how to build your own financial freedom, but you’ll also have learned some valuable lessons from my highs and woes.

Goal

The program includes:

Structured week Structured week by week journey to your passive income success
Weekly activities Weekly activities, prompts and tips
4 x 1 hour group review sessions per month 4 x 1 hour group review sessions per month
Expert training sessions 6 x expert training sessions

Workbook

How it works

We’ll work through the book ‘Six Figures While You Sleep’ together. I wrote it literally as a manual on how to build your own Automated Digital Passive Income Product, and we’ll follow the steps outline to passive income success.

So each month we’ll:

  1. Read through the relevant chapter
  2. Use the work book to complete the tasks
  3. Chat about your questions in four hour-long sessions

There will also be expert coaching and tutorials to help you get it all done.

Done For You ADPIPs

Although this is a Do It Yourself program, the truth is I’ve done a lot of the hard work for you.  The program comes with a library of worksheets, resources, tools and spreadsheets to help make the ADPIP process easier.

The tools will help breakdown complex tasks into bite sized chunks and walk you through creating your ADPIP in an easy to understand, step by step, super speedy way.

The cold hard truth

This program is not for course collectors, and those with a vague whiff of desire to have passive income products. It’s for hard workers who need support, accountability and guidance in creating their version of success.

We’ll be setting firm goals and working towards them with you, but the truth is, you will have to do the work to make it happen.

Kate with hands on hips

Your mentor

Okay we’re going to do this in the third person even though it’s awkward.

Kate Toon is an award-winning business mentor and digital marketing coach, as well as the author of the popular business book, ‘Six Figures in School Hours: How to run a successful business and still be a good parent.’

She’s an honest, down-to-earth human on a mission to demystify the realities of running a successful online business. And while she’s serious about business, she doesn’t take herself too seriously.

Her Stay Tooned group of companies include the Digital Marketing Collective, The Clever Copywriting School, and The Recipe for SEO Success. Kate has helped more than 20,000 other businesses demystify digital marketing, grapple the Google Beast, and find their own version of success.

Kate is a renowned podcaster and speaker regularly invited to speak globally about her online business and share her expertise. She was named Australia’s Most Influential Small Business Businesswoman of the Year as well as Training and Education Provider of the Year and is a resident expert on Kochie’s Business Builders.

All this working from a shed in her pyjamas in her backyard on the New South Wales Central Coast, where she lives with her teenage son. She’s accompanied by her very own CFO (Chief Furry Office Dog), Pomplemousse, and assisted remotely by a small team of talented humans.

My results

It’s all very well and good saying I can help you, but can I prove it?
Well yes.

chevron_rightI’ve run 29 rounds of my SEO Course (with 24 of them over 100k revenue).
chevron_rightI have over 300 members in my membership.
chevron_rightI’ve sold thousands of mini courses and downloads.
chevron_rightAnd I’ve run three successful sold-out masterminds.

Here are my real combined revenue figures for all my ADPIPS (I know, how vulnerable) so you can see how it’s all panned out. From 2018 I had no clients.

 

MY REAL REVENUE

2013 FY: $146K
2014 FY: $153K 5% more
2015 FY: $202K 32% more
2016 FY: $247K 22% more
2017 FY: $265K 7% more
2018 FY: $550K 109% more
2019 FY: $670K 21% more
2020 FY: $820K 22% more
2021 FY: $1.1m 34% more
2022 FY: $894K 19% less
2023 FY: $907K 1.5% more

A few things to note from this list:

  • I was ticking along fine as a freelance copywriter, making around $150k a year with minimal expenses.
  • I kept things steady when I created the Clever Copywriting School and my Recipe course in 2015, but it wasn’t easy.
  • Back in 2016 I didn’t have any extra hours as I had a 5-year-old, so instead I had to reduce my workload, and it had a big impact on my revenue.
  • It took a while for my passive income projects to take over, and it wasn’t until two years later in around 2018 I really saw the rewards. My revenue jumped up by over 100% and I was able to stop taking on clients all together.
  • My revenue hit an all-time high in 2021, but this is partly because one launch of Recipe went into 2021, rather than the 2022 financial year.
  • 2023 wasn’t quite as profitable. This was partly due to COVID but also because when I hit a million, I decided I’d hit that milestone and intentionally set my budget for 100k less the following year, so I could work less and travel more.

My business, and most businesses, are not always rapidly increasing lines upwards. There will be quieter years, hard years, investment years. My goal is a reliable consistent income and longevity without burning out and I set revenue goals that help me achieve this.

The potential profit

While most entrepreneurs live in revenue land, I live in net profit land. Net profit – sometimes known as net income – is the amount of money your business earns after deducting all expenses. That includes all costs of goods sold (COGS), fixed costs, interest, salaries, taxes – the whole kit and kaboodle.

While a good profit margin for a small business might be around 10-15%, with ADPIPs you can achieve much higher.

Here’s how my profit has changed over the last few years.

The profit

Why isn’t it higher you might ask? Well because I like to play in my business. I run events which have terrible profit margins and drag the figures down; I experiment with new marketing tactics. I wasted a lot of money on Facebook ads.

The Six Figures While You Sleep Program has been an absolute game-changer for me. I have considered creating a course for some time now but I didn’t want to waste time, money and energy on the wrong things, or things that wouldn’t work or be effective. The SFWYS Program has been brilliant in providing an easy-to-follow roadmap towards creating automated digital passive income products (ADPIPs) – whether it’s a course, membership or digital product.

The ongoing support and advice provided by Kate has been second-to-none and the added accountability of being part of a course has meant that I have made time to do the things I need to do. I’m so excited to have achieved my goal of creating a course and moving towards a more passive type of income.
 
If you’re ready to take the step into ADPIPs, I highly recommend SFWYS. You won’t be disappointed.

Participating in the ‘Six Figures While You Sleep’ course with Kate Toon has been nothing short of transformative for Her Pod Business Collective. After sitting on our hands for nearly two years, uncertain of how to launch our idea, Kate’s done-with-you course was the catalyst we needed.

With her expert guidance, boundless motivation, and constant reassurance, we’re not only at the completion of our exciting new course but at the threshold of building our digital empire. Kate’s practical insights and realistic strategies turned what seemed like a daunting dream into an achievable reality.

Her ability to break down complex concepts into actionable steps made all the difference. The supportive community was the cherry on top, fueling our progress and holding us accountable. We’re now equipped with the knowledge and confidence to transform our service-based skills into lucrative digital products, all thanks to Kate’s program.

Thank you, Kate, for showing us the way to financial freedom and longevity without the overwhelm. This journey has been empowering, enlightening, and nothing short of amazing.

Melissa

As soon as Kate announced her 6FWYS program it spurred me on to make my years long big little idea a reality. I was so scared to let my idea out there into the wild that I even signed up at the last minute. Within the first couple of weeks into the program, Kate’s knowledge around passive income and digital products had me look at my existing business differently.

I rolled out digital products and online strategy sessions and since sold several, saving me valuable time and effort in the sales process. At time of writing this testimonial my big little idea is currently under development and I have no doubt I’ll be doubling down on my review in no time under the banner of my big little idea that’s launching soon.

Nirelle Bennett

Kate, along with the Six Figures While You Sleep book and course, transformed both me and my business in ways I never imagined. Kate’s expert guidance, combined with her encouraging pushes and practical wisdom, helped me achieve more than I ever thought possible.

Additionally, my incredible SFWYS course peers became an invaluable source of friendship, inspiration, and support. Though the learning curve was steep, Kate’s engaging teaching style made the journey enjoyable and pushed me to step outside my comfort zone and aim higher. Without a doubt, this has been the best investment I’ve made in my business, and I’ll forever be grateful for taking that leap.

Nic Kastner

Kate’s Six Figures While You Sleep program gave me the clarity, confidence, and tools to bring Australian School Mums’ MumSquad to life—a membership that sold within hours of launching. The program’s structured weekly modules, each with actionable steps, made the process feel achievable. Kate provides a clear roadmap, guiding you from idea to execution with practical, no-fluff advice.

From refining my idea to launching my own ADPIP, Kate’s guidance, accountability, and expertise became the foundation of a membership that will now, only continue to grow. The small group setting was invaluable—not only did we learn from Kate, but we also supported each other, making the journey far less daunting whilst keeping each other accountable.

I highly recommend Six Figures While You Sleep to anyone looking to create an additional income stream with a strong support network; Kate’s dedication to each of the program’s members is inspiring. Thank you, Kate, for all your support!”

Nic Kastner | Australian School Mums

 

Megan Verheijen

I’ve been talking about creating a course for years, but the Six Figures While You Sleep program finally gave me the push I needed to make it happen. The weekly accountability sessions have been so helpful in keeping me on track, and Kate’s advice has been invaluable every step of the way.

She’s been there, done that, and really knows what works when it comes to creating and launching courses. From stress-testing ideas to overcoming fears, content creation, and launch strategies, she’s covered it all in a way that makes everything feel doable. If you’ve been sitting on an idea and need the structure and support to bring it to life, I can’t recommend this program enough.

Thanks again for all your support.

Catherine Hughes

 Kate has always been incredibly generous in sharing her time, insights and experience.

I knew joining her Six Figures While You Sleep Program would be the kick-start I needed to start developing more passive income streams for my business. As with all Kate’s programs, she’s created a very supportive environment with a great group of like-minded people cheering each other on. Even though I’m just at the start of my business transition, the program has been a great investment. I have been able to explore my ideas and take the first steps with a much clearer path ahead. I feel much more energised about my business and am looking forward to this next phase.

Natasha Brown

This course got me to get out of my way own way and launch. I am not exactly where I want to be yet but with Kate’s carrot, stick and no-nonsense tough love approach. I am further than I have ever been after investing thousands in other programs – this was the one.

Natasha Brown

 

Steph Holdsworth

You can work at your own pace.

This course is so brilliantly crafted that you can work at your own pace. I couldn’t always make the live calls but watched the recordings multiple times. There was so much goodness in each call I always found a new bit of info I missed the first time round. The resources literally walk you through the steps of what action to take next and I loved that break down of those tasks. Easily the best money you will spend if your looking to start making money in your sleep.

Stephanie Holdsworth | Allerchic

 

If anyone asks “will this program work for me if I don’t already have an established business” my answer would be: yes, it worked for me, but you’ll have to get a lot sorted out as you go. I didn’t have a clear offering and clear business proposition to start with, or a business website.

My tip would be to access the free support that’s available, to get the extra business coaching that will help you refine what your unique selling proposition is as a business, who you are as a service provider, explore what your productised services will be etc. e.g. Global Sisters, in NSW the Business Connect Program, TAFE NSW Women in Business program – just google “free business support Australia” or your state. That’s all assumed knowledge in the program.

So you’ll have to invest the time outside the program to get clear on the fundamentals of what you and your business are all about, branding design etc. But I never would have done all that properly if I hadn’t had the accountability, support and loving butt-kicking of Kate’s program and the wonderful humans in there with me.”

FAQS

When can I sign up to the program?

The program opens for sign ups on Tuesday 26th May 2026 at 10am Sydney time and will close again on Friday 5th June 2026 at 5pm Sydney time.

When does the program start?

At this stage, the date of the next round of the program hasn’t been finalised however will likely be in the first quarter of 2027.

When are the program calls (group review sessions) held?

The program calls are generally scheduled for Wednesdays at 1pm Sydney time, however this may occasionally change. Calls are held weekly except during the ‘Build Your ADPIP (Solo)’ module.

Do I already need to have an idea for my passive income product before I start the program?

No. We’ll work through this in the first weeks of the course.

The program is a seven-month commitment; if you decide you want to stop, we will still bill you for the remaining months.

How many hours per month will I need to set aside for the sessions and course work?
