Depending on your industry there are so many choices when it comes to product creation. This is also the age of technology which makes product creation or outsourcing of that creation far easier and less expensive. Below is a short list of products to consider, add your own twist to them!


Courses: As an expert in your field you have the skills to teach other people. You can do this by creating courses and tutorials covering topics your target market is desperate to learn about. Courses can be small or large. They can cost anything from a couple of dollars to thousands of dollars, depending on the scope and the subject matter. Check out my QuickBooks Done for you Course here


Paid Newsletters: A great way to create repeat revenue is by writing a premium newsletter people will be willing to pay for. The information contained within the premium version will be lengthier and more in-depth. You can share the strategies and tips you usually only share with your paying clients. Sign up for my (free) newsletter here


Licensed Products: You can also sell licenses for products you create rather than granting exclusive access. Freelance designers, developers, illustrators, and other creatives have a lot of earning potential with licensed products. Even if you aren’t a creative, having branded sellable products can be an easy addition to your product line. Check out mine here.


Books: Books are usually the first item freelancers think of when deciding to create a product. Whether electronic or paperback, books are a highly popular and affordable way to discover new information and insights. A well-written book, in whatever format, can quickly establish you as a thought leader and expert in your field. Self-publishing platforms give you the potential to reach larger audiences when combined with intelligent marketing and branding. Download the IBGR free ebook here


MONEY MATTERS WITH KASH THE BOOKKEEPER

“Making good judgements when one has complete data, facts, and knowledge is not leadership- it’s bookkeeping.”-Dee Hock FOUNDER AND CEO EMERITUS VISA USA AND VISA INTERNATIONAL, NOW VISA INC

My name is Kasfia Rashid but you can call me Kash. It is my job to prepare you to understand the language of business AKA accounting. Think about it, what is the first thing you learn when you decide to travel to a foreign country? The language, of course! Warren Buffett, said that accounting is the language of business. So who better to learn from than an accountant with over 16 years worth of experience!

My mission is to repair the gap between small business owners and their bookkeeping processes. Take back control of your business and leave the bookkeeping to me. I am not your average bookkeeper. I understand that discussing money is difficult, my no-nonsense attitude combined with a no-judgement approach creates a safe environment. Ready to add the expertise of a corporate back office accounting manager to your small business?

Kash the Bookkeeper

    Kash grew up in Brooklyn, NY and is a proud only child of a single mother who immigrated from Bangladesh.

    Her accounting career started at age 8 when it was discovered that someone was skimming from her piggy back. After a careful audit of her records (kept in a little pink book) she confronted her mother about the missing funds.

    In 2003 (12 years later-finally allowed out again) she started working in a Manhattan CPA firm while earning her degree in accounting with a double major in finance and economics.

    Her corporate career ended in the hedge fund industry in 2014. She is a QuickBooks Online certified pro, and excel wizard and an automation expert. By having Kash as your bookkeeper you gain a partner, who acts as an extension of your C-class executive team, bringing the expertise of a corporate back office accounting manager to your small business.

    ​When she is not managing small business’s books and records, Kash can be found networking at her BNI meeting on Tuesdays, attending monthly WHIMBY events, and other various networking organizations around town.
