10 Steps to License Your Product Ideas for Location Independent Passive Income (No Manufacturing Required) with Courtney Laschkewitsch
Tuesday, 16 September, 2025
Could you turn a product idea into passive income, without starting a business or having to do it all yourself? Courtney Laskiewicz is a serial inventor who, with no prior experience, licensed six products after facing 51 rejections. Now, Courtney is a product licensing coach who helps everyday inventors bring their ideas to life and earn passive income by licensing them to companies. Through her platform Serial Inventing, she teaches a proven 10-step system to turn product concepts into real-world deals. Courtney lays out her product licensing business model, showing how she went from zero experience to multiple licensable products. We dig into what realistic timelines, costs, and mindset look like when you want to bring your product idea to market by licensing instead of manufacturing. Courtney explains how licensing can let someone else build your idea while you collect royalties from anywhere in the world. You’ll learn not just the mechanical steps, but why so much of your success depends on persistence, handling rejection, and building skills many people overlook. She’s honest about the financial realities - what small checks look like, what good deals look like - and what terms in contracts you should always negotiate. If you want a clear, actionable path toward turning ideas into income without a massive risk, this episode gives you that roadmap. Do you have a product idea that could help you earn passive income while you travel? I’d love to hear about it, and I hope you’ll share them sending me an audio message. Tune In To Learn: Why product licensing can let you earn passive income location‑independently without owning inventory or manufacturing The first three foundational steps: doing market research, checking for prior art/patents, and defining what makes your idea unique How to build prototypes or virtual models to show your concept How to write a one‑line benefit statement and develop an effective sell‑sheet Common myths around patenting and protection: what it does, the costs, limitations, and when it’s essential How to build a hit list of companies, reach out sensitively to avoid unsolicited idea policies, and follow up well Key negotiation levers beyond royalty rates: territory, exclusivity, distribution, wholesale vs net sales How to decide when an idea is worth continuing vs when to shelve it, and how to improve your process as you iterate And so much more Resources: Sign up for our FREE newsletter Courtney’s website The Serial Inventing Podcast Want More?
