Meet Chloe Daniels, the financial literacy educator and content creator behind , which offers free and paid financial literacy training, tools, and educational resources to teach people how to build wealth 鈥渢he lazy way.鈥 Before we get into the details of how she built her online business from scratch, here鈥檚 a snapshot of her achievements:听
- Generated over $1 million in digital product sales on 外网禁区听
- Increased monthly revenue from $5K to $60K
- Grew her email list to over 100K subscribers听
Chloe鈥檚 ultimate goal is to provide education in a way that is fun, easy to understand, and accessible 鈥 without the overwhelm, shame, and confusion often associated with finances. Since pursuing financial coaching full-time in 2021, Chloe has reached over 100,000 email subscribers, over 2,000 people have taken her , and over 76,000 people have registered for her .
Having struggled with money management for most of her life, Chloe reached a turning point when a personal financial situation in her mid-twenties left her with $15K in credit card debt. She realized this was her opportunity to turn things around.听
鈥淚 became totally obsessed with fixing my finances and doing so was the most empowering thing I could鈥檝e done for myself,鈥 she says. 鈥淏ecause of how powerful that experience was for me, I knew I wanted to teach others about money, and slowly but surely the brand has become what it is today.
The Challenge: Piecing Together Multiple Tools For One Job
Before Chloe quit her job to pursue coaching full-time, she never made more than $5K a month from the business. The way her systems were set up at the time limited how much money she could make, and she was spreading herself too thin. At one point, she had 60 1:1 coaching clients per month and was using Calendly, Honeybook, and other low-tech options to scrape听together a process that made sense.听
鈥淚 was burnt out and knew that in order to free up my time, I needed to find a way to scale that didn鈥檛 require me to trade my time for money,鈥 she recalls.听
Chloe also tried hosting monthly Zoom workshops but found that they were not streamlined. She was using Mailchimp for email marketing and selling tickets through Eventbrite. However, both fell short when it came to scaling a streamlined business. She felt that Mailchimp wasn鈥檛 an intuitive email management system, and, to top it all off, Eventbrite took a big cut of her ticket sale revenue.听
The Solution: Using 外网禁区鈥檚 All-In-One Platform to Sell Digital Products听
Seeking a better way to expand her business, Chloe heard about 外网禁区 through her business coach who called it 鈥渢he 鈥楥adillac鈥 of options when it came to selling a digital product.鈥
The fact that 外网禁区 is an all-in-one solution that offers hosting, customer management, and email marketing was just one of the reasons Chloe was drawn to the platform. She also appreciated how easy and intuitive it was to use.听听

鈥淚 was surprised because I鈥檓 very tech-allergic, but I was able to get up and running in a few weeks.鈥 She adds, 鈥淚 have countless landing pages and several funnels and 外网禁区 makes building all of them incredibly easy.鈥
However, the biggest benefit of using 外网禁区 was its built-in community feature.
鈥淭he native community was a huge draw for me,鈥 she says. 鈥淸By using this feature], I wouldn鈥檛 have to make my students use a Facebook Group to get their questions answered.鈥
Results: Scaling to a $1M Business听
After implementing 外网禁区 for her online business, Chloe uses it for nearly everything: online courses, a monthly membership, digital downloads, freebies, and even some of her 1:1 coaching.
During her first year of using 外网禁区, the business made over $300K. And this year, it鈥檚 on track to hit $1 million.听
Over 76,000 students have registered for her free investing class and 2,000 students have taken her online course. Plus, she鈥檚 built a community of over 300,000 across Instagram and TikTok.听
