Have you been thinking about building an online biz for years?
Maybe you've started the blog, half-finished the course, bought the
templates, made the Canva graphics. . .
But you're still not making enough money to pay the bills?
Every time you try to take the next step toward building real, sustainable passive income,
you run into those obstacles that stop most entrepreneurs in their tracks.
Things like:
Imposter Syndrome
"Who am I to charge for my knowledge?"
You second-guess every piece of content, thinking others know something you don't.
Perfectionism
"It has to be perfect before I launch."
You've been getting ready to get ready for months while others build the businesses you dream of.
Comparison
"Everyone else is already doing this."
You scroll social media, convinced the market is saturated and there's no room for you.
Fear of Failure
"What if I try and it doesn't work?"
The thought of public failure keeps you paralyzed in the planning phase.
You're second-guessing, procrastinating (maybe even procrasti-working),
bouncing between 104 tabs and 254 business ideas.
It's not because you're lazy. Or flaky. Or unmotivated.
You just need a plan, follow-through, and
someone holding you accountable to your own potential.
This is where the PROVEN Path to build your to Low-Ticket Membership comes in.
How much easier would it be to build your business if you could follow a trail that's been blazed by hundreds of women who've successfully built their passive income empires?
A path with clear markers, experienced guides, and a supportive community of fellow climbers?
It's a Mastermind, Not a Course
You're not just consuming content, you're actively building alongside other ambitious women with real-time feedback and support.
It's Coaching, Not Just Content
Weekly live coaching from me and my top-performing VIPs, weekly coworking with your community, and personalized peer feedback in our private discussion boards.
It's a Community, not a Competition
Radical generosity and collaboration over competition are our north stars in VIP. There's room for everyone at the top of the passive income mountain, and we help each other succeed.
It's a Proven Path, not Guesswork
Every step on the path, every strategy has been battle-tested by real women building real businesses. You won't find overpromised, underdelivered guru guesswork here.
Hey, I'm Sadie Smiley!
I help overwhelmed women turn scattered ideas into simple, sustainable income—without burning out, selling your soul, or pretending to be someone you're not.
I’m the founder of Passive Income Pathways (PIPs), where I’ve helped thousands of women launch low-ticket memberships, build ethical funnels, and create digital products that actually sell. I built my own 6-figure business with mini memberships + blog-based income… but before all that? I was homeless.
I’m autistic, chronically ill, and deeply committed to building businesses that work with your real life—not against it.
VIP is Your Complete Expedition Kit
Everything you need to reach your passive income goals, with no stone left unturned.
Guided, Step-by-Step

Amanda
VIP is absolutely the best community I've ever been a part of. I didn't know I wanted to create passive income when I initially joined. I just knew I needed to be in Sadie's circle and I trusted that growth of some kind would happen if I followed what she was teaching.
So, I hopped right in VIP with nothing and no idea what I was doing there.
Fast forward a few years and I couldn't imagine life without this community. Not only do I get to work alongside some of the most amazing entrepreneurial women and friends, I can now look back and be so proud of what I've learned and built as a direct result of being part of VIP.

I've been making more than $25k a month for a while (sometimes as much as $50k), but that's all active work. I'm an ads and marketing strategist and the waitlist to get in with me is long. I love my clients and what I can do, but I wasn't sure how to make the things I was passionate about help me make more money in a scalable way. I mean, I've tried all the other courses and "gurus." I just didn't think anything would actually work after so many years of toiling in a circle.
My friend introduced me to PIPs and VIP. And because I'm a course whore, I joined VIP.
And sat on it.
Let's be honest... I waited and didn't do anything. I did NOTHING. But once I decided to actually do the things Sadie laid out for us? Holy cow! Applying the VIP/PIPs path works. I'm able to do what I'm already doing and add onto it. It's doable, actionable. It makes sense and it builds on itself.
Sadie and the group gave me the group support I needed as well - at any time. Love the community. It's definitely become a great place to help grow both personally and professionally.
With the memberships and workshops alone, I've added a few thousand extra a month to my income that is largely passive (IYKYK). All I have to do is continue following the PIPs path with the VIP support and I know I'll be looking at more money in the coming years.
Catherine
Joining VIP felt like a no-brainer. I had been in PIPs LITE for a year and found all the resources invaluable, but I missed the community and someone cheering me along. Since joining VIP, I've had a new surge of enthusiasm for my business and self-belief that I CAN and WILL achieve my goals.
The community is unlike anything else I've joined before. Kind, genuine, accepting, respectful. And everyone really wants you to achieve your dreams.
For me, email has been really challenging. There are multiple email marketing trainings in VIP which have breathed a new life into my emails. Instead of avoiding them and no CTA. I now have a new automation sequence, landing pages, upsells, and sending out multiple emails each week.
If you're on the fence, I highly recommend joining VIP. You won't regret it.
New VIP!

I found Sadie and PIPs, and within a week, joined VIP. Not only did I vibe with everything Sadie had to say, but I also connected with the fact that she deals with chronic illness and is neurodivergent like me. Seeing her success is largely why I joined, but I also loved the fact that she aligned with me on values in both business and life. It's been rare for me to find a like-minded mentor who aligns in that way, so when I found VIP, I knew it was a good decision.
I've also joined a million courses and memberships over the past decade of being an entrepreneur, but starting a new business meant I needed to cut out all of the BS. It's hard to start over from zero again when you want to be further along. I wanted a clear path and someone who would just tell me what to do and when to do it so there would be less meandering around this time around. VIP has a clear and direct path to success and I've been following it as much as I can (Sadie's helping to keep me on track). It's been around a month, and I can say that I've done more in this short time than I did in years in my first business.
But the thing that really made the decision for me was how Sadie spoke of the group as a family. I didn't want to be in another group where I hid quietly in the background and didn't take action. I didn't want to be in another group where I felt intense competition and like I couldn't fit in. Sadie was right about how the group comes together and takes care of one another. After a couple of weeks in VIP, I shared a new product I'd created and got so much feedback to make it even better. I was literally stunned by the kindness of the VIPs. Family, indeed!
I am so grateful that I found VIP when I did, and I intend to stick around for the long haul!
VIP is the flight plan that gets you from where you are to your dream destination. It's a community that shows up for you when you find it hard to show up for yourself. VIP is accountability and no-nonsense nurturing on days you need it most. Most importantly, it's a space that shows you what is possible, and proves it can be done.
VIP has been life changing in all aspects of my life. Business and personal areas of my life has blossomed and prospered. From blogging to digital creating to friendships and everywhere in between. I'm grateful for VIP.
VIP is the kick in the ass I need and want, the helping hand I sometimes need, and the friendships I never knew I wanted.
VIP is all I've ever known and I can't picture my online business without it. It's just part of my business now.
I was in PIPs LITE, but I was skipping around too much. But with VIP & the step-by-step process, I feel more focused. I got more done in the last few weeks than ever before.
Being able to ask questions/get feedback/support in the community is top notch.
VIP is a guided, fertile garden where you study and grow alongside the best in their craft, plant your seeds, and watch scattered thoughts take root and bloom, into something strong and meaningful.
It's where you and your fellow creators learn together, support each other, and together push your limits and build out your dreams, transforming possibility into reality.
VIP is the only community I have been involved in where I have seen real progress in my business. It is full of like-minded people who are rooting for your success, too. It's not fluff and empty promises; it's real and supportive.
The community in VIP is truly unlike any other I've found, the amount of thoughtful feedback and support from both coaching and fellow VIPs is incredible. It's also full of people who understand what you're building- running an online business can be a pretty lonely career choice, and being in VIP puts me on a team where I'm constantly cheering on others and they're celebrating my wins too. Since joining VIP, I've also joined Mediavine, become more visible in my space, grown my email list, and overall become a better blogger.
Sadie is patient and generous with her time and resources. If you fall behind, she meets you where you are and helps you get back on track with clarity. She’s created an inclusive space for growth and collaboration, and her disparity pricing brings together people from around the world in a way that makes me feel truly seen and heard.
I joined PIPs VIP because I was already a LITE member, and I was given the chance to see what the VIP community had to offer. I saw a hugely supportive community and a proven path to help build my business. Since joining VIP, I've had greater confidence in launching my offers, and I've been able to start gaining momentum. I'm just starting on the path, so I've got a ways to go, but I'm loving the step-by-step path to follow and that I have access to all of the courses. I know that I will succeed as long as I follow the path!

Trail Guide: Frequently Asked Questions
Is PIPs VIP right for me if I'm just starting out?
VIP is right for you no matter where you are at in your business journey, that's why it's so magical! Some of our most successful VIPs joined when they were complete beginners.
Everyone starts somewhere, and starting with the right guidance means you'll skip all the bullshit that keeps most bloggers broke for years.
If you are ready and willing to take consistent action while others are still "thinking about it," VIP is for you.
I already have a blog/business. Is this too basic for me?
By design, PIPs VIP works for creators at every level. We have members who are just starting out, and others who have been in the game for decades. We have part-time creators as well as those who are making 6 and multi-6 figures.
Already got a foundation? Great! You'll start by checking it over and making sure it's strong. Then you'll work your way to more advanced strategies for scaling, automation, and turning your active hustle into more passive income.
We've got VIPs who were making decent money when they joined, but hit a plateau. Now they're scaling to multiple five and six figures because they stopped trying to figure everything out alone - and they stopped trying to follow multiple paths and coaches at once.
VIP will help you identify exactly where you're leaving money on the table and show you how to fix it fast.
How much time do I need to commit each week?
It's up to you! You are going to get out of your business what you put into it. The more time and effort you put into your business, the faster it will pay your bills.
But we also understand that life be lifeing, and you might have a full-time job, family to care for, etc. The VIP path is self-paced, so you can adjust it based on your schedule. We also have tools to help you find more pockets of time and become more efficient with the time you are able to put into your business.
My niche is different, will the PIPs Path with work for me?
Absolutely! The PIPs VIP path works for ANY niche because it focuses on the fundamental principles that make money online.
We've got successful VIPs in a range of both business-to-business and business-to-customer niches. When we get creative, we can almost always add in a B2B angle that gets people excited - and keeps us focused on our path.
The diversity in our community is a massive advantage. You'll get fresh perspectives and cross-pollination of ideas that would never happen in a niche-specific group... and we collaborate! :)
How soon will I see results?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this one. We're not going to bullshit you with overnight success stories. Building a real business takes time. With the right guidance, you'll move WAY faster than trying to figure it out alone.
In VIP, we give you all of the resources you need to succeed, but we can't do the work for you. Your results will vary based on your starting point, time commitment, and how consistently you SHOW UP AND DO THE THING. If you want to grow, you've got to put the work in.
What if I join and realize it's not for me?
We only want members who are actually benefiting from and contributing to our community. No hard feelings if it's not your jam! Just send an email to support@passiveincomepathways.com and we will cancel your membership.
No contracts, ever; you can cancel at any time. Your price won't be locked in if you want to come back, though. If you join again later, it will be at the current price for VIP at that time.
I'm not tech-savvy. Will I be able to keep up?
If you found your way to this page and can get yourself signed up, you can handle the tech in PIPs VIP. We have trainings that break down technical processes into manageable steps that even our most tech-challenged members can follow.
Obsessing over which tech stack to use? Stop. We've tried it all and can tell you exactly what works (like our platform Subtrio, where we host all my courses, memberships, and even our email lists).
Our community is also incredibly helpful when you get stuck! We've all been there, and we share helpful tips and hacks in the group when we find them. This is another area where the diversity in VIP really shines.
