Episode notes
You Can Sell Nonlegal Expertise
- You don't have to teach only legal topics; monetize any expertise people will pay for.
- Sonia cites a mom who sold meal-planning PDFs as proof non-legal skills (cooking, fashion) can generate high revenue.
Niche Withdrawal Tutorial That Sells
- Sonia sells a narrow tutorial on how to withdraw as attorney from a USPTO application for $97.
- She recorded a Loom screen-share plus email templates and finds it sells consistently because practitioners need that exact process.
Price Based On Knowledge Jump
- Price by the jump in knowledge you deliver: small process kits at ~$29–$97, full practice courses at thousands.
- Sonia prices Two Weeks to Trademarks around $3,000 because it teaches an entire practice from zero.
