Six Figure Professor
The business system for professors who want to turn their side hustle “hobby” into a semester-proof business that runs on 5 hours a week or less.
You’ve known for a while that you need structure. You just haven’t wanted to rush into the wrong one.
Does this feel familiar?
Your business technically exists but it requires too much from you to make it profitable.
You’ve created a course, workshop, or resource you’re proud of…
But selling it still depends on you being present, visible, and available.When the semester gets busy, your business quietly goes dormant.
Not because your work isn’t valuable, but because there’s no system carrying it forward without you.Your academic job already asks for your best thinking, energy, and care.
And following the advice of business gurus feels like a second full-time job you don’t actually want.
Basically, you’re tired of the start-and-stop cycle of building a business between grading and meetings, and you want a calm, intentional semester-proof system that works even when you are teaching.
You don’t necessarily want a bigger business.
You want a lighter one.
One that doesn’t require:
constant posting
constant pivoting
constant attention
You’re not trying to chase money at all costs.
You care about meaning, impact, and legacy.
And being fairly compensated for your expertise.
You’ve been piecing together strategies that weren’t built for the ebbs, flows, and inconsistencies of an academic calendar.
You need a business strategy that gives you this…
✅
A low-maintenance business.
You already have a full-time job that requires a lot of energy, time, and capacity. But your academic work shouldn’t keep you from living a fulfilling life, making the big impact on the world. You’ll become the CEO of your own successful business without feeling like you have a second full-time job to manage.
✅
A short business task list.
As academic entrepreneurs, we don’t build businesses that we can’t maintain during a busy semester. With a semester-proof business, you’ll reduce your weekly business schedule to one task: attraction. Your semester-proof system will handle the rest of your business operations and you’ll be able to focus on your academics.
✅
Income you don’t have to constantly manage.
There are ways to make extra money in academia. You could write a grant, teach a summer class, or adjunct for a different school. But in academia, extra money comes with extra responsibilities. With your semester-proof business, you can increase your income without increasing your academic workload. So you could take the whole summer off if you want. Or travel internationally without having to present at a conference to justify the trip.
Here’s what I know about you (aka me, when I first started my business):
You’re a learner.
This is not the first time you’ve learned about an automated sales funnel (which is exactly what a semester-proof business is). But it’s likely that you’ve binged a lot of YouTube videos, listened to hours of business podcasts, and even purchased courses to help you build a grow your business.
And you probably came to the same conclusion as me after being overwhelmed by all that the online business world has to offer:
Taking a course to learn a strategy and actually IMPLEMENTING said strategy are two different things.
That’s why I created Six Figure Professor.
Six Figure Professor
Helping professors actually build a simple automated business system.
Having a working, automated sales funnel is the only way to grow a business during a busy semester.
Because businesses that don’t have a semester-proof funnel lose momentum mid-semester.
And if your business can’t survive midterms, it’s not a real business.
You already have a full-time job. Your business shouldn’t feel like another one.
Let’s build your semester-proof system that runs on five hours a week (or less) so you can keep earning and changing the world while you teach, grade, or rest.
Hey, I’m Dr. Toyin Alli!
A Senior Lecturer who built a six-figure digital education business that runs on about five hours a week.
I get what it’s like to love teaching and dream of building something of your own, but constantly feel pulled in a hundred directions.
Between teaching 12 hours a week, mentoring grad students, and growing my family, there’s barely time to breathe, let alone grow my digital education, The Academic Society.
It wasn’t until I figured out how to reduce my business operations to one profitable task that The Academic Society finally stopped stalling out mid-September, and was actually profitable every week.
After successfully bringing in six figures in annual revenue and being recommended for early promotion, I decided …
I had to share this with other professors so they could create independent impact and income beyond their academic careers..
That’s exactly why I created Six Figure Professor: to give other academics a clear, simple system that actually works with your teaching life — not against it.
So, I’m handing you the templates, structure, and strategy that helped me go from the constant start-and-stop business plan of a side hustler to running a calm, consistent, semester-proof business.
Because you don’t need to feel guilty for putting your business on the back burner when academic life gets hectic.
You just need the right system: one built for professors like us.
So are you ready to…
💸💸
Double your teaching salary
While dedicating less than 5 hours a week to your business operations?
🧠🚶🏾♀️
Eliminate decision fatigue and isolation
In a world where most professors are solely focused on their academic work?
💰✨
Finally, achieve financial freedom and fulfillment
Through your meaningful online business work?
…all without sacrificing your academic career or personal life?
Let’s get into the details:
What is Six Figure Professor?
Six Figure Professor is a five-milestone business system for professors who want a real business that survives the semester, not just a plan.
START YOUR SEMESTER-PROOF BUSINESS JOURNEY TODAY!
You Want a Business That Works With Academia, Not Against It
That’s why every part of Six Figure Professor is built around your goals, calendar, and energy—not some one-size-fits-all system that ignores your academic reality.

✅ Design a semester-proof business built around your energy and academic calendar

Jessye experienced a major mindset shift—from hesitation and comparison to empowered action. She felt validated in her ability to monetize her expertise and gained clarity around what to launch and how. She completed her low-ticket offer funnel, including a polished sales page, email automation, and lead magnet. This was her proudest achievement—she felt the power of having a system work in the background without her daily involvement.

Before the program, Kendrick was relying solely on cold outreach. Now, he’s building a platform and strategy where people can come to him through layered offers, visibility on LinkedIn, and targeted marketing. Kendrick learned to add a digital component to his speaking business, turning his offers into a “gumbo”—with something for everyone. His funnel now includes virtual workshops, in-person engagements, and an online offer.

Asya became more in tune with herself, saying the program helped her slow down, honor her energy, and stop overcommitting. Asya now simplifies her workshops, focusing on delivering one key transformation rather than trying to “teach everything.” Her favorite metaphor: “I don’t feel like the tiger is chasing me anymore.” She has more ease in her days and decision-making.

Roberta saw multiple sales roll in at the start of the year from emails—proof that her shift to regular weekly emailing is working. She recognized that long-time subscribers were “warming up” over time, and finally converting months after joining her list. She's beginning to understand and leverage the seasonality of her business. Roberta has fully stepped into her role as a “professorpreneur,” realizing her business doesn’t need to mimic full-time entrepreneurs to be profitable or effective.

The Five Milestones of Six Figure Professor
Instead of teaching theory or leaving you with a strategy document, we build your business step by step until you have a system that attracts the right people, makes offers automatically, and sells your digital products while you teach, grade, or rest.
MILESTONE 1: The Professorpreneur Identity Shift
→ From “I’m doing stuff” to “I’m building a business.”
This milestone establishes the foundation most academics skip (and then pay for later).
By the end of this milestone, you’ll have:
a clear Professorpreneur Identity statement (it’s like your WHY but for business)
a realistic academic + business schedule that works on ~5 hours/week so that you always have time for business operations
a concise, emotionally safe niche statement your audience can recognize themselves in (and you can add to your IG or LinkedIn bio)
This milestone isn’t about doing more.
It’s about deciding who you are as a business owner and letting everything else follow. This is where your business stops feeling fragile and starts feeling intentional.
MILESTONE 2: The Clarity Clinic
→From “I help people with…” to “I’m known for…”
This milestone turns your expertise into language people immediately understand and trust.
By the end of this milestone, you’ll have:
a one-sentence Core Transformation that you’ll use to pitch your offers on social media, in blog posts, and through email
your Signature Belief that will attract your ideal customers to you and share your work
This is the messaging backbone everything else builds on.
MILESTONE 3: The Offer Ecosystem
→ From random products to a business with a backbone.
This is where your business becomes real.
You’ll build the complete semester-proof sales system that runs in the background without taking you away from your academic responsibilities.
You’ll create:
a low-ticket offer that sells on its own
a freebie that naturally leads to that offer
a 5-email sales sequence that makes invitations clear and ethical
a mapped offer ecosystem that shows how everything fits together
By the end of this milestone, you’ll have:
A complete sales system that doesn’t depend on your availability to work.
The sales pages and checkout pages that collect money for you (think: getting email notifications during class that let you know another person has purchased your work)
This is the core of your semester-proof sales system.
MILESTONE 4: The 5-Hour Sales Engine
→From invisible to “How did you sell that without being on social media every day?”
This milestone shows you how sales actually happen without real-time visibility or burnout.
You’ll design:
a realistic 5-hour weekly rhythm (create → nurture → sell)
authority-building content that fits academic norms
visibility strategies that leverage other people’s audiences
By the end of this milestone, you’ll have:
a repeatable 5-hour weekly sales plan (this is what you’ll do during your 5 hour business workweek)
a simple, sustainable visibility strategy
This is how your system stays alive during a busy semester.
MILESTONE 5: The Signature Delivery System
→From burnout delivery → semester-aligned success.
This milestone ensures your business stays sustainable after people buy.
By the end of this milestone, you’ll have:
a clear delivery map for your offer
onboarding emails and welcome assets
a semester-aligned operations checklist
This is what keeps your business from becoming another job.

Attention fellow Higher Ed folks in student/academic support - if you have yet to hear of Toyin Alli - You need to check her out.
The #SUGSBA hosted her today (with the support of our friends in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion) for two sessions.
The feedback was amazing. Students said they wished they had heard her talk much earlier in their academic journey. It was so wonderful to see the way our graduate students responded to her.
Trust me, you should inquire about getting these sessions on your campus!!

Testimonials from Six Figure Professor Clients
Six Figure Professor is the only program I’ve completed!
“This program changed the trajectory of my business. Before Six Figure Professor, I was overcomplicating everything, trying to force a coaching model that didn’t align. Through Toyin’s clear teaching and incredible frameworks, I found the confidence to simplify my business and build it around what I actually love: counseling.
Now, I have a streamlined offer suite that includes high-ticket intensives, SEO-powered content, and a clear path to scale through aligned services and education. I’m finally operating in my calling, and my clients feel it.
And let me say this: I’ve joined many programs before, but Six Figure Professor is the only one I’ve ever completed. That’s because Toyin is an educator. She structured everything in a way that made sense, never felt overwhelming, and actually led to results. She’s laid out the program well and truly understands what it means to help people learn and implement.
If you're an academic entrepreneur who wants to make real money doing what you're great at (without burnout), this is the program.”
Dr. Cecily Moore
Dr. Jessye Talley
I knew I had something valuable to share, but I didn’t know how to bring it together.
“Before joining Six Figure Professor, I was stuck in a cycle of overthinking and second-guessing my business ideas. I knew I had something valuable to share, but I didn’t know how to bring it all together. This program gave me the clarity, structure, and confidence I needed to launch my low-ticket offer with a full sales funnel and automation system that runs in the background.
The one-on-one support and tech walkthroughs were everything—I would not have a completed sales page without them. More than anything, this program made me believe in my business again. It helped me recognize that what I offer is needed, and that I can show up consistently and build something sustainable.
If you’re an academic entrepreneur with an idea you’re ready to finally bring to life, this is the program you’ve been waiting for.”
This program helped me build a business that draws people in.
"Before joining Six Figure Professor, I was stuck in the mindset that I had to chase every opportunity. This program helped me build a business that draws people in. Learning how to create a sales page gave me the clarity I needed to turn my ideas into income-generating offers.
I now have a newsletter for directors, a digital funnel that complements my speaking, and I’m finally showing up boldly on LinkedIn. More than anything, I’ve gained peace and confidence knowing that what I offer has value—and I don’t have to hustle to prove it.
If you're looking for a coach who understands academia, entrepreneurship, and how to help you build a real platform, Toyin is the one. The one-on-one support, strategic insight, and character she brings to this program are unmatched."
Dr. Kendrick Savage
The personalized coaching was exactly what I needed.
"Six Figure Professor helped me replace burnout-fueled ambition with clarity and calm. I now create from a place of alignment and intentionality.
The personalized coaching was exactly what I needed—Toyin helped me realize I don’t have to do everything at once. I’m showing up with more focus, confidence, and trust in my voice. If you're an academic entrepreneur ready to build your business your way, this program is where that clarity begins."
Asya Spears
Dr. Roberta Roberts
This is the program that understands your life, your limits, and your potential.
"Before joining the Six Figure Professor program, I felt like I had to keep my business small just to manage everything on my plate. I’m a full-time attorney, part-time professor, and a business owner—and I thought growing my business might break everything. But this program shifted everything for me.
The one-on-one coaching was hands down my favorite part. I showed up to every session with something new—an idea, a tech challenge, a mindset block—and Toyin helped me work through all of it with so much clarity and calm. She helped me see how I could scale without losing the intimacy or integrity of my program.
Now, my business is growing in a sustainable, intentional way. I revamped my backend systems with Airtable, built automations, and even created a custom AI self-coaching model for my students that they love.
I’m writing a book as a low-ticket offer to grow my visibility in a way that feels aligned, and I’m finally sending consistent emails and seeing evergreen sales come in. I’ve gone from “keeping things small” to “actually ready to grow.”
This program gave me the confidence to believe that being a successful professorpreneur is possible—even on part-time hours. The structure, tools, and support were so well thought out and grounded in real academic life. If you're building a business alongside a busy academic career, this is the program that understands your life, your limits, and your potential."

Where you don’t have to worry about figuring out the tech or marketing on your own — you can simply follow the steps and start seeing real results.
Meaning: you’re just weeks away from securing your first high-paying speaking gig and seeing consistent income from your online business.
I can’t wait to open up my inbox and see an email from you — celebrating your first successful launch and the impact you’re making in your field! — in a few weeks.

“This created a sense of calm and clarity so that I could focus on the work.”
I came away with multiple ideas, but most importantly simple ideas that would allow me to build momentum. I also got support in an area that has kept me from moving forward for a while…the tech. This created a sense of calm and clarity so that I could focus on the work.

“I especially love that she created this strategy specifically for academics.”
I love absolutely everything that Dr. Toyin Alli creates and offers! This course was exactly what I expected from her.
I love how she taught me how to set up a passive funnel system without all the expenses or complications that other business coaches teach. I especially love that she created this strategy specifically for academics.
I'm designing my funnel now, and I've been constantly referring back to her templates as I prepare my own funnel. With this strategy, I hope to continue building my business and expanding my impact while being a chemistry grad student.
