Amazon Kindle Scribe With the Premium Pen Hits Its Lowest Price Yet, Not Even This Low on Black Friday
Ok so I don't need to spend time selling you on what's beneficial about a Kindle, yeah?

The ability to store thousands of books to take with you on a plane or to the park speaks for itself.

Unlocking Passive Income Streams for Online Business Coaches
As an online business coach, your time is valuable. You work with clients one-on-one, deliver results, and help others achieve success. But relying solely on active income — trading time for money — can quickly lead to burnout. The solution? Passive income streams. These income channels allow you to generate revenue even when you're not actively working. In this blog, we'll explore the most effective passive income ideas for small business marketing consultants and how to implement them into your existing brand. Passive income offers a powerful opportunity to scale your business coach san francisco bay area without scaling your workload. It frees up time, provides financial security, and allows you to work smarter — not harder. More importantly, it enables you to reach a broader audience with your expertise while continuing to serve your high-ticket clients. This approach supports long-term sustainability and growth. One of the most lucrative passive income streams for coaches is creating online courses. As a business coach, you already possess valuable insights and proven frameworks. Packaging this knowledge into a structured course allows you to teach hundreds — or even thousands — without additional effort after launch. Platforms like Teachable, Thinkific, and Kajabi make it easy to host, market, and monetize your course. Start with one high-quality course focused on a specific niche — such as launching a consulting business, mastering sales funnels, or developing a personal brand — and build from there. Writing an ebook or downloadable guide is another excellent passive income source. These resources can be short, actionable, and focused on a particular topic your clients often ask about. Whether it's 'The 10-Step Blueprint to Scale Your Coaching Business' or 'How to Build a High-Converting Sales Funnel,' ebooks provide value and establish you as an authority. Sell them directly on your website or distribute them via platforms like Amazon Kindle. You can also bundle them with your courses or use them as lead magnets for other offers. A membership site is a recurring revenue model that provides ongoing value to your audience in exchange for a monthly fee. You can offer exclusive content, community access, live Q&A sessions, and new resources each month. This setup allows members to continue learning and growing with you while you receive steady income. The key to success lies in consistently delivering value and nurturing your community. Tools like Podia, Mighty Networks, and Patreon can help you launch a simple yet effective membership program. Content platforms like YouTube and podcasts have the potential to become passive income machines. While content creation takes time upfront, evergreen videos and episodes continue to attract views, generate ad revenue, and build your audience. Monetization comes from YouTube ads, sponsorships, affiliate links, and even funneling viewers into paid products or coaching services. Focus on topics that answer common questions, share client success stories, or offer actionable business tips. Over time, your content becomes an asset that drives visibility and income. As a business coach, you've likely created templates, scripts, checklists, and toolkits for your clients. Why not repurpose them into digital products you can sell? These resources save buyers time and give them a proven starting point. Examples include email templates, lead generation worksheets, business plan templates, or onboarding checklists. Selling these items through your website or marketplaces like Etsy or Gumroad is easy and can yield steady income with minimal effort. Affiliate marketing allows you to earn a commission by promoting other companies' products and services. As a coach, you likely recommend tools, platforms, and apps to your clients — CRMs, email software, productivity apps, etc. Signing up for affiliate programs with these companies lets you monetize those recommendations. You can include affiliate links in blog posts, newsletters, course content, or social media. Always disclose affiliate relationships and only recommend tools you genuinely trust to maintain credibility. If you've developed a unique coaching system or methodology, consider licensing it to other coaches or businesses. This model lets others use your framework (with training or certification) while paying you a licensing fee or royalty. It's a powerful way to scale your impact and revenue while maintaining ownership of your intellectual property. You can also create a certification program for coaches who want to be trained in your method, which adds even more value to your brand. Your email list is one of your most valuable assets. With a well-nurtured list, you can promote your digital products, affiliate offers, and events directly to a warm audience. Use automated email sequences to sell your courses, upsell your coaching, or launch new offerings. Tools like ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, and MailerLite let you segment your audience, personalize content, and track performance. The result is a hands-off sales engine that runs around the clock. Low-ticket offers are affordable digital products ($7–$49) that provide quick wins for your audience and lead them into higher-value services. These could be mini-courses, one-page business plans, or niche-specific training. Once created, they require little maintenance but can generate consistent revenue. You can set up a sales funnel with order bumps, upsells, and email automation to increase the customer lifetime value. These funnels serve as both income generators and lead qualifiers. Webinars are a powerful tool for educating your audience and converting them into buyers. An evergreen webinar is a pre-recorded presentation that runs on autopilot — promoting your course, membership, or coaching program. With platforms like WebinarJam or EverWebinar, you can automate the entire process, including registration, reminders, and follow-up emails. Focus on delivering real value during the session while guiding viewers to your paid offer at the end. Once set up, this passive system can generate sales day and night. Not all passive income streams are created equal, and not all will suit your business model. The key is to start with one or two strategies that align with your skills and brand. Do you love creating content? Try YouTube or a digital course. Are you known for detailed frameworks? Consider licensing or creating toolkits. Passive income doesn't mean zero effort — it means smart, front-loaded effort that continues to pay off. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

The 5 best Kindle cases, chosen by our book-obsessed editors
Looking for the best Kindle cases can feel as tricky as selecting the one truly perfect page-turner to pack for a vacation (a problem that's in the past when your Kindle holds so many e-books). Not every case is a winner, and you can often have trouble trying to get a sense of how they actually feel — or if they have the right cutouts for your ports and buttons — from just looking at them online. But as one of our editors learned firsthand, it's a very good idea to protect your Amazon Kindle with a case to keep it alive. Finding the right Kindle cases and covers for multiple models wasn't exactly difficult, though. Our book-loving staff have been using Amazon's e-readers for years and have lost count of all the cases we've tried along the way. So, when we huddled as a team to share our picks, we came to a consensus pretty quickly, having actually lived with these cases for multiple months, if not years. Our cases are mostly for the best Kindles we've recently tested, including the 11th- and 12th-generation Kindle Paperwhites. Cases for the latter model also cover the new Kindle Colorsoft, which has the same physical specs. We've also got a case for the new 6-inch Kindle, and it comes strongly recommended by the most voracious reader I know. We've yet to find a good case for the Kindle Scribe, though, so check back with us later for more about that one. Here are the five best Kindle cases we've actually used and tested. CoBak 7-Inch Kindle Paperwhite Stand Case With Hand Strap Copy editor Danielle Poiesz raved about how this case is basically everything you could want, saying, 'The strap is handy, it's cute, it's affordable and I can prop it up if I want to read while I eat a piece of cake and drink a glass of wine.' Clearly, this is the Kindle case for the reader who has it all. I got one of these in to check out for myself, and in addition to its sturdy build quality and pleasing texture, I have to shout out the hidden hand-strap in the back cover that enables one-handed reading. This case is on the thicker side, but it's not too 7-Inch Kindle Paperwhite and Colorsoft Sleeve Case Associate editor Jillian Tracy is the sole team member who defended a sleeve-style case. Tracy explained that she's often 'chucking [her] Kindle in a stuffed backpack or tote bag, and this magnetic case helps keep [her] Kindle from ending up scratched, sand-filled or spilled on.' As for its look, 'it's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done,' she said. Since this is a pouch-style case, it doesn't just fit the 7-inch Paperwhite and Colorsoft; it also fits the 6.8-inch Paperwhite from 6.8-Inch Kindle Paperwhite Case Digital content strategist Madison Yerke praised this 6.8-inch case for helping her previous-generation Kindle stay strong. "I have had this one for a few years and love it! It hasn't shown any signs of wear and has protected my screen from the numerous falls from my bed and liquid spills,' said Yerke, before dropping that sweating smiley emoji. 'It's pretty lightweight and doesn't feel like I have a bulky case on it.'Strapsicle 6.8-Inch Kindle Paperwhite Clear Case CNN Underscored editorial director Chelsea Stone told me this case's allure is about more than just its protective shell. She says that while it is 'a perfectly fine basic clear case for your Kindle, the real reason to buy it is that it comes with 40 fun reading-themed stickers to decorate the back with.' Those decorations are what we in the business refer to as a delightful bonus. Oh, and those looking for a one-handed reading experience should also consider this model because its thin design means you don't have much added weight. CoBak 6-Inch Kindle Case While our other Kindle case recommendations come from our staff, this CoBak case is my mom's own Kindle case, which I gave her for her birthday last year. Seven months after I gave it to her, I asked her if she liked it, and she answered instantly with a resounding 'yes!' That's enough for me to call it in for testing, and I was pretty pleased with how this 6-inch budget case protects my own Kindle 2024, Amazon's latest entry-level e-reader. Not only does it fit that Kindle perfectly but its magnetic cover supports the automatic wake and sleep functionality, so you won't waste any battery life. One small caveat is that its matte polyurethane leather cover material feels a little tacky (though that material is waterproof). I'm happy to note you barely touch that part when you're actually reading, and you feel the case's microfiber interior far more often. Which model do you have? First off, you're going to need to figure out which Kindle you're trying to protect. Open the Settings menu and select Device Info to find the name of your specific model, such as 'Kindle Paperwhite (10th Generation).' Now, make sure you look for that model number or a shortening of it, such as 'Paperwhite 10th Gen,' when you're browsing Kindle cases. No matter which model you have, look for a case with magnets that help it stay shut; it's especially important when traveling. How do you use your e-reader? If you like to go hands-free, like Stone does with her beloved cozy Kindle Bluetooth page turner, you'll want to look for a case that enables that sort of experience. The CoBak Stand Case, for example, includes a built-in kickstand you can pop out of its front cover to prop it up on a table. If you have a grip for your Kindle, though, then you're probably best off with Strapsicle's clear case or its strap holders, because they're a bit lighter and easier to clip the Bluetooth page turner on. How do you care for your tech? Kindle cases provide varying levels of protection, ranging from the Strapsicle strap cases that cover just the edges of your Kindle and to the CoBak Stand Case that gets you a whole folio-style case. I'd recommend the latter if you're buying for someone that's a bit more reckless. While the Paperwhite is already water-resistant, the Strapsicle and MoKo cases and the 6-inch CoBak cover also use waterproof materials. Do all Kindles need a case? Do all Kindles need a case? All Kindles could use a case, but the question of the need for a Kindle case depends on how you treat your Kindle. Some people I know, including one person I work with, tend to put a fair amount of wear and tear on their Kindle and could use the protection. I tend to be a bit more careful with my tech and have yet to really need one. Are there any Kindle cases that fit all Kindles? Are there any Kindle cases that fit all Kindles? Not if you're talking about a rigid, form-fitting case. Most Kindle models vary in their dimensions and that includes button placement. However, you may find a case for all Kindles if you look through the Kindle pouches and sleeves designed for the 12th-generation Kindle Paperwhite, one of the largest Kindles yet. However, those still won't fit the super-sized Kindle Scribe, Amazon's Kindle for writers. What is the best way to remove a Kindle from its case? What is the best way to remove a Kindle from its case? I apply pressure to the back of one of the top corners while holding on to the front and back on the bottom of the case. For this article, we consulted the following readers on the CNN staff. Danielle Poiesz, copy editor at CNN Underscored Chelsea Stone, editorial director at CNN Underscored Jillian Tracy, associate editor at CNN Underscored Madison Yerke, digital content strategist at CNN Underscored The CNN Underscored team applies even more tenacity to product reviews than it does to reading, which is saying something when we're in the middle of a competitive summer reading challenge at the moment. CNN Underscored has a team of skilled writers and editors who have many years of experience testing, researching and recommending products, and we ensure each article is carefully edited and products are properly vetted. We talk to top experts when applicable to make certain we are testing each product accurately, recommending only the best products after considering the pros and cons of each item. This guide's writer Henry T. Casey has been reviewing gadgets for more than a decade and has been testing Kindles and the latest tablets for more than five years.
