Sell while you Sleep: Turn your knowledge into an automated online business and create a life of freedom by Krissy Chin

January 27, 2024 Melanie Hawken

Krissy Chin

Book Review

If you ever wanted to know how to effectively launch and run a profitable online business, Krissy Chin in her new book, Sell while you Sleep: Turn your knowledge into an automated online business and create a life of freedom, shares her insights and experience. She says it doesn't have to be complicated.

In Sell while you Sleep, Author Krissy Chin will help you to learn how to turn your knowledge, passion, or expertise into a profitable business and scale more efficiently and effectively so you can work less and enjoy more. She has built a multi-million-dollar online business working no more than 20 hours a week. Her secret is being intentional. Whether it's crafting the perfect offer, automating tasks, managing contractors, creating templates, or batch-producing content, Krissy is hyper-efficient. She knows how to squeeze the most value out of her most precious resource: her time. In Sell While You Sleep, she shares her best secrets, tips, and strategies for growing an online business doing something you love while ultimately freeing up hours of your life each week providing more time for the things and people that matter. Whether you're a solopreneur selling products or services, or an entrepreneur who wants to expand into scalable, digital offerings, this book is for you.

Author Quotes

I leaned into saying 'YES'  to new and scary things which led me from my nursing career to direct sales, to where I am now; helping ambitious women turn something they love into a business that positively impacts thousands and makes them money while they are spending more time with their family.

My role is to help you with all things strategy, systems, marketing, and sales. I'll teach you how to attract your perfect customers online, turn your leads into customers on autopilot, and build multiple streams of revenue by leveraging the skills and knowledge you already have. 

Like you, I decided I wanted to stop trading time for money and do something I love.  So I took the knowledge I already had and turned it into a scalable digital offer. We grew our first successful membership to 6000 paying subscribers and have continued to help entrepreneurs like you attract the right people to your business and sell online while you’re sleeping, on vacation, or simply just out living.

About the author

Krissy Chin is an entrepreneur, speaker, podcast host and author of the new book, Sell While You Sleep. She has achieved extraordinary success after diving into the digital space. She leveraged what she learned in direct sales to launch her own digital business with her business partner in 2017, growing their subscription service to 6000 paying members in 20 months and generating over $3 million in revenue in their first four years. Despite a major setback in 2021, they rebuilt the business with subsequent six-figure launches. Krissy shares her knowledge, stories, and actionable tips to build a successful online business working less and earning more on her popular podcast, Badass is the New Black.

Why LoA loves it…

In our Lionesses of Africa community, we know that many women entrepreneurs really struggle with sales, for many it simply doesn’t come naturally and it can often be a stressful part of business life. So Krissy Chin’s new book is a great tool to help every woman entrepreneur get better at leveraging the online environment to sell. No matter what business you are in, Krissy’s knowledge, expertise and experience will help you to take your online sales game to the next level. — Melanie Hawken, founder & ceo, Lionesses of Africa
