I used Claude.ai to help me create an updated list of ideas we can use to repurpose our own or other people's digital content to create Digital Vending Machines that dump cash into our bank accounts without trading time for money doing shit we'd rather not be doing: Each idea is designed to help an author upsell book buyers into deeper, more valuable experiences, programs, or licenses, leveraging the “new money from old courses” philosophy.
