Bio: 

In a former life, Jay Melone lived on the sales rollercoaster  being a consultant– constantly chasing new opportunities, winning a small percentage, doing those projects, and then starting over again. After a decade of this, he was burnt out. Then, in 2019 he began experimenting. He started packaging his services into low-cost online courses, templates, toolkits, and ebooks that were packed with value. So prospective customers discovered these, they trust Jay’s expertise more and more. These digital products not only brought income, he sold more of his core services. These were what he calls self-sustaining growth loops. He then had more time – not only for client projects, but everything else in his life. Now he helps busy, overworked business owners do what he did. He started Passive Profits to share his growth strategies inside a free, weekly newsletter.
