About Whitney Stokes – Digital-Product Coach & Passive-Income Strategist

Hey there! I’m Whitney, the caffeine-loving creative behind the Passive Income Playbook and a firm believer that business ought to fund your life, not swallow it.

These days you’ll find me sipping coffee in my garden, brainstorming fresh template ideas, and cheering on students as they make their first digital-product sales. If you’re craving a way to earn while you sleep (or at least while you binge a documentary), you’re in the right place.

Why I Broke Up with the 24/7 Hustle

Not long ago my schedule looked like an endless scroll of notifications. I answered DMs at dinner, chased every algorithm update, and convinced myself that “one more reel” would finally crack the code. The turning point came when I realized that digital products. Guides, templates, mini-courses could do the teaching for me while I lived my life.

I packaged my knowledge, pressed “publish,” and woke up to the gentle ping of passive income. That feeling is pure freedom. Now I show you exactly how to replicate it, minus the caffeine jitters and hustle hangover.

What I Do (and How It Helps You)

I transform hard-won experience into step-by-step resources, enabling you to build a digital product business that thrives on autopilot. Inside the Passive Income Playbook, I map out the entire process. From brainstorming offers that sell themselves to setting up automated sales funnels.

When you need inspiration, I drop new PLR templates into the vault; when you need encouragement, I’m in your inbox every week with a voice-note-style pep talk.

Guiding Principles I Live (and Teach) By

My philosophy is simple: provide real value, price fairly, automate ethically, and protect your mental health like it’s the most precious product of all, because it is.

I’ll never promise overnight millions, but I will promise that consistent, aligned action beats frantic hustling every single time. The moment your first $10 digital download rolls in, you’ll understand why I’m on a mission to put more “quiet confidence” money in the hands of everyday creators.

A Few Fun Things

When I’m not recording tutorial videos, you’ll spot me harvesting homegrown tomatoes, plotting a weekend camping trip, or nerding out over Canva’s latest features.

My ideal morning involves a slow pour-over, a journal, and absolutely no social-media doom scroll.

Yes, I will applaud louder for your first passive-income win than for any random six-figure screenshot floating around the internet.

  • YouTube is shifting gears, monetizing real content only. No more AI-spun fluff or gaming the system.

It’s a reminder that real still matters. That showing up as yourself, sharing what you know, what you’ve lived, what you care about, that’s what people connect with. That’s what lasts.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start sharing your message, building your channel, or showing the real you... this is it. Your voice matters.

Here’s the deal with hashtags on Instagram these days…
They still work, but not in the way you're used to.

Gone are the days of dropping 30 hashtags like # bossbabe # riseandgrind # whatislife and hoping for the best. 
Instagram’s algorithm has gotten way smarter (and honestly, a little nosier). It’s reading your post now, like actually trying to figure out what you’re talking about.

Which means hashtags have kinda grown up.
They’re not magic reach buttons anymore.
They’re more like helpful little signposts that tell the algorithm,
"Hey, this post is about passive income for introverts!"
or
"This one’s for the creators who are tired of feeling stuck."

Try using 3 to 7 hashtags. That’s it.
✅ A couple that speak to your niche
✅ One or two your dream audience might be searching
✅ Sometimes sprinkle in a branded one
That’s plenty, because now, your actual content is what’s doing the work. (Which is kinda refreshing, right?)

So if you’ve been wondering if hashtags are still a thing, the answer is yes. But they’re not the main thing anymore. Think strategy, not spam.
