What is Scalability?
Updated October 22, 2026
Scalability is how easily a business can grow without your work growing at the same pace.
A digital product can sell 10 or 10,000 copies with almost the same effort.
Hourly work doesn't scale because you only have so many hours.
Scalable models are the backbone of passive income.
Example
Your course costs nothing extra to sell to the next 1,000 buyers.
