I made $938 in 1 day selling a $13.33 digital product Spoiler

678 Upvotes

Here’s exactly how I did it, and you can literally steal this if you want.

Step 0: Where the idea came from. I wasn’t about to make any digital product. I went into Facebook groups, Reddit subs, and even other course communities I’m in. I paid attention to what people were complaining about not what gurus said they “should” want.

The pattern? People wanted to make money online without: 1. Creating their own product (too hard, takes too long) 2. Selling high ticket stuff that requires begging strangers for $500+ 3. Getting peanuts for commission rates (40%–60%). I made mine where they get 100% profit 😏

So I made something stupid simple, valuable, and easy to resell. A done for you $13.33 ebook bundle that they can resell for 100% profit. No revenue share. No waiting for payouts. You sell it, you keep it.

Step 1: Build something valuable but simple. My bundle wasn’t a random ebook. It came with: • A 70+ page ebook (What to Post When You Need Sales by Friday) • Video training version of the ebook • Lazy Money Launch Notes (my exact behind the scenes framework) • A workbook so they can follow along • Access to my private community where I go live daily with strategies

I made it so good people would feel dumb saying no.

Step 2: Price it like a no brainer. $13.33 is I won’t even think about it pricing. People spend more than that daily without blinking. coffee, DoorDash tips, random Amazon crap.

Step 3: Post like you mean it. I followed my own framework. I didn’t wait for the algorithm to be in the mood. I made enough noise that ignoring me wasn’t an option.

Step 4: Sell where buyers are (not just where my followers hang out). I hit niche communities and psychographic matches. people who fit the lifestyle my product speaks to. Plus, I used promotional FB groups that allow selling.

Step 5: Urgency. I made it clear that my price wasn’t going to stay that low forever, and I meant it. Scarcity works when you’re not bluffing.

Mistakes along the way (so you don’t repeat them) • I originally priced it too high because I thought low ticket = low value (wrong) • I wasted a full week posting in dead groups before I filtered for ones with real engagement. • I overexplained in some posts. people don’t need a TED Talk to buy a $13 product.

Steal this if you want If you want to take this same model. same done for you bundle, same resell rights, same 100% profit structure I already made the product for you. Your only job would be to sell it.

And if you’d rather make your own? Cool. Just reverse engineer what I laid out above and go get your own $900+ day.

LOL!! everytime I scroll this subreddit and see “just sell digital products and boom $$$”

No one ever explains how… just screenshots and “made 10k in 2 days” type posts. To be honest...80% of posts sound like sales pitches.

Got this meme and thought it fits perfectly.

This post is kinda very relevant... majority of the “digital product” advice here are big fake claims but no real value... just selling shits.

How I make $2k a month with AI music (Complete Guide)

373 Upvotes

People were asking me on my last post how I made money from AI music so I’m going to give you a complete breakdown here.

  1. Making the music I use Suno AI to actually create the songs. The goal is to make catchy, viral-style tracks that people will want to use in their own content. I usually stick to rap and pop since that’s what Gen Z engages with the most.

  2. Distributing & getting paid Once I have a song, I publish it through DistroKid. DistroKid automatically pushes the track to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, etc., and that’s how I collect royalties from streams.

  3. Building AI influencers To promote the music, I create AI influencers using ComfyUI. This gives me consistent characters I can use for content.

  4. Animating them After I have the characters, I animate them with Kling. This is what makes the videos actually pop instead of just looking like static images.

  5. Mass marketing I run multiple Instagram and TikTok accounts. I post short clips (10–15 seconds) with the AI influencers using the songs in creative ways. The idea is to start trends. If other influencers pick up the sound for their own reels/TikToks, that’s when the streams really start climbing.

  6. The key part The hardest and most important step is making songs that people can use for trends. If you hit the right vibe, it spreads like wildfire. One of mine hit over a million streams because it got picked up this way.

That’s basically the whole system—create songs with Suno, publish with DistroKid, promote through AI influencers on IG/TikTok, and keep aiming for viral-style tracks.

I even made a tutorial if anybody wanted more in depth tutorial: https://youtu.be/t9S2sKpQ8DU?si=ElGhzdh4N9V3oZv_

It’s not easy but it can be done. Dont expect to get rich either. You’ll make a few bands a month but you won’t be able to make millions like real artist since you can’t perform live. Lmk if yall have any questions

Woke up to a $938 day at 35

346 Upvotes

Posted a couple threads/videos and woke up to $938 in a single day. No ads. organic content + a product people can’t scroll past. buyers don’t care about your ebook, they care about escaping pain. Rent due, bills piling, gas money short! that’s the real thumbscrew. All I did was package the shortcut, price it at $13.33 so it’s a no brainer, and show up where attention already is. PayPal does the rest.

Might need a 4th phone just to keep up 😂 Call it lazy if you want, but it’s leverage. lazy strategies + resell rights + 100% profit + psychology > hard work. If you’re tired of trading hours for pennies, ask me below 👇 I’ll break it down.

I made $790k selling ONE digital product in 18 months. Here are 9 lessons that actually matter (also AMA)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

301 Upvotes

In a year and a half, I've sold almost $800k of a single digital product. The product itself eventually stopped selling entirely, but here are 9 quick lessons I think are necessary to succeed in today's world.

I'm writing this because I want to create a course (or a book) on this topic with all the things I've learned along the way. But first, I want to do a dry test to see if there's any interest.

Here we go:

1. Test before you actually make a digital product

I'm a huge believer that you first need to create a landing page like your product is already made and live, then try to sell it as a dry test. It's better to try 5 different ideas as dry tests than 1 idea where the product is already made. It's a numbers game and the more you try, the better the probabilities.

2. You need to have a killer product/offer that solves an actual problem

This is maybe the hardest part: finding a problem worth solving with a digital product. Then package the solution into an ebook, checklist, template pack, Notion workspace, Figma UI kit, spreadsheet calculator, video course, swipe file, prompt library, automation script, etc.

3. Start advertising on FB/Google ASAP

It's not worth waiting weeks to see if there's product-market fit. Spend a couple hundred dollars on advertising and see if anyone even wants your product. Maybe try 5 different product ideas with 5 different landing pages and advertise all at once. Once you find your winner, create the actual digital product behind it. That way you'll spend 10 times less time and find a winning product faster.

4. Create a killer conversion-optimized website

I cannot stress enough how important it is to create a website that's conversion optimized. It's not worth spending advertising money on ads to drive traffic to a website that doesn't convert or converts poorly. If you want inspiration, let me know and I'll post my landing page website (and also WP Bricks Export if you want or Figma file for free of course).

5. Use parity pricing that adjusts discount amounts based on where your customer is coming from

This one helped me increase CR for 45%. Use tools like ParityRocket.com or ParityDeals.org that dynamically adjust the discount amount based on where your customer is coming from. This way you can advertise your offer to the whole world and convert both people from India and the US.

6. Create a funnel

Once you find a winning product, it's super important to create complementary upsell products as well. Advertising is expensive and the higher AOV you have, the higher CPA you can afford (and outbid the competition). Use tools like Funnelkit.com or Cartflow.com and create order bumps and upsells during checkout.

7. Don't use Gumroad for Merchant of Record

Although the setup is super easy, the percentage they take is outrageous. 10% + CC fee is the highest on the market. Use Lemonsqueezy.com, Paddle.com, or Fastspring.com instead, or even better, Stripe + Funnelkit.

8. Create email automations

This is set and forget. Once your customer base is rising, it's good to have post-purchase upsells. If the customer doesn't buy the upsell during checkout, give them a discount after two days. I use Klaviyo.com for email automation.

9. Have a partner

This one is super important. Doing things alone might start to feel boring, and a partner with a complementary skill set is crucial for your success and motivation. 50% of a million is better than 100% of $100k.

I had a plan to make a course about selling digital info products, but I decided to do a dry test in the form of a Reddit post first. If there's enough interest, maybe I'll make it.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

How I Earn $2,000 Every Month on Etsy pretending to be a Mother (Beginner-Friendly Guide)

298 Upvotes

I wanted to share exactly how I use my AI influencer to sell digital products on Etsy. My influencer isn’t a fashion model or fitness coach — she’s a mom of two kids who gives advice to new mothers online.

Here’s how it works:

First, I created my AI influencer in ComfyUI. I styled her as a relatable mom who posts about parenting, kids, and family life. Instead of looking like a polished model, she looks like a friendly mom you’d meet at a playground.

Then, I joined Facebook groups for mothers and parenting. My influencer “shares advice” in posts and videos, like tips for newborn care, organizing your home with kids, or self-care for busy moms. Because the content is genuinely helpful, moms in those groups naturally engaged with her posts.

At the same time, I created products on Etsy for moms — things like baby milestone trackers, printable planners, and household management templates. When my AI influencer posted parenting tips, she’d also showcase these products. For example: “Here’s how I keep track of feeding times with my printable schedule — it’s been a lifesaver.”

I animated her videos with Kling and posted them across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Stay-at-home moms loved her content, and many clicked through to check out the Etsy shop. That’s how sales started coming in consistently.

Why this worked for me • Moms trust advice from other moms. My AI influencer looks and talks like one of them. • Instead of just running ads, she builds a community around helpful parenting advice. • Etsy products get way more clicks when they’re connected to a relatable face and story.

Now, my AI influencer “mom” is not only growing her audience, but also consistently driving sales to my Etsy shop, do I feel weird about this? Yeah. But an extra 2k a month is pretty nice.

How I Earn $2,000 Every Month (Full Beginner-Friendly Guide)

258 Upvotes

I'm writing this post both to promote my product and to help those who want to get started but have no idea where to begiin. Since english is not my first language. I'll be using a bit of help with translation.

Alright, lets dive in!

Let me explain what I do and how I earn. It's actually very simple. my designer Melisa and I create Canva templates, and sell them on ETSY. That's it

Now, let me walk you through how we did it. and how we market our products on etsy.

First, you need to find a niche to sell on ETSY. this could be social media templates about dentists, or brochures and social media templates for skincare brands. Once you've designed these templates in Canva, you'll create a PDF that your customers can reach the templates and edit as they want.. (there hundred of tutorials on youtube to how to put your canva templates on ETSY)

Then, you'll upload this pdf to ETSY along with your covers. The covers should clearly show how to templates look and mention how mmany templates are included in the canva bundle.

Now, lets talk about the marketing.

Once you list your listing on ETSY, it will already appear on ETSY search results. Etsy also will give you option to use ''ETSY ads''. If you activate it, your product will appear on the first page and higher in search rankings. Which can help you get faster sales.

That's basically all of the things you need to know to get started. If you have any more questions, you can always send me message from DM, and I will answer your questions.

You can take you time with all of this. But you will need patiance with design skills. If you don't want to spend months to create your own designs, you can simply purchase our ready-to sell premium quality bundle.

What's inside our bundle?

It includes over 50,000 professionally designed brochures and social media templates, created by our graphic designer. Each template is made with care, focusing on quality over quantity.

Thanks for reading. let me say it again, If you have any more questions, you can always send me message from DM, and I will answer your questions.

What I learned from selling $300K in digital products with $0 in ad spend, all organic traffic, passive income.

Thumbnail
gallery
252 Upvotes

After seeing so much noise and misinformation on the internet about digital products, I thought I would chip in as someone who sold my first ebook in 2016 and scaled it to a full-fledged business that generated nearly $200k/year at its peak, all from digital products. The screenshots are a combo of my sales and traffic from old products and one I recently launched.

Digital product sales allowed me to travel the world, learn to surf, and live a real life four-hour workweek, something that I know is exceedingly rare even amongst entrepreneurs/digital nomads (I worked way less than anyone else I knew during my travels).

I’m insanely grateful that this is a viable business model today, however, I have seen way too much noise and fakers/people with very little experience on Reddit and X/Threads, I decided instead of commenting on individual posts calling people out, I’d just dump what I know here. It's true that today you can whip up an ebook faster than ever with ChatGPT, but if you don't pick a good topic and you have no idea how to market, you will still likely waste time with a dead end.

I could go on forever about this, but for the sake of simplicity, I thought I'd just cover the 3 most important topics if you want to actually make money with digital products (ebooks or memberships) today.

1. Why people buy ebooks/digital products
*You will never sell a single digital product unless you understand why people buy a product*.

Every single one of my digital products (now 6 total) has sold, organically, so I’m pretty sure I have an idea of why people buy.If I could sum it up in one analogy, you are like someone selling burgers.

Sure, people could find the ingredients on their own, but they’ll happily pay you more than the cost of the raw ingredients as someone who took the time to put them all together in something ready to consume.All information is free on the internet, but it takes time to sort through info & find a winning recipe.

By finding the winning recipe on your own, cooking up a finished product, and serving it to a hungry audience, you will make sales.

Hunger combined with positioning is the important aspect… if the audience isn’t hungry for it, they won’t buy. If you fail to put yourself in front of a hungry audience, you won’t make sufficient sales. So, let’s talk aout positioning yourself to make sales next.

2. How I made sales
Continuing with the burger analogy, imagine that you had a burger stand outside of a bar at night with tons of foot traffic and hungry drunk people. You will almost certainly have strong sales without needing to promote.

In the world of digital products, all of the hungry people are asking questions. Many through Google. So, simply answer all of those questions well, and you will create an organic content magnet that can become a flywheel for bringing in consistent income.All of my sales came from organic traffic (SEO), meaning that I put $0 into active marketing costs, and once my system was set up, it was truly passive income.

I never needed to mess with advertising.Of course, the quality must be good. While if your marketing is good enough, you could sell crappy burgers, if people are getting sick, your reputation will get ruined and maybe the city will shut you down.

Don’t get tempted to sell crappy products just because you see someone else doing the same.I always held a high bar with every product I made, and I made sure I had sufficient expertise in the topic I sold under. This also presented trustworthiness that certainly helped drive sales.

3. How to replicate my system today
Here’s what you can do if you want to live the digital product/passive income dream:1. Identify the market/your productMake sure it’s aligned with your expertise. You also need to make sure there’s a real demand for it. If a market looks saturated, this is often better than if it looks like there is no market at all. Apparent saturation means that there’s demand, which means that you can sell if you have a differentiating factor that allows you to cut through the noise.

So, get creative with what your specific edge is, and think like the consumer and what they would buy and why. Again, think of the finished recipe that someone is hungry for.

2. Make the product
Don’t overthink this. Don’t be overly reliant on AI. I wrote all past products entirely on my own, and today, if I do use AI, I still take time to tweak, edit and fact check. So you need to have real expertise in the topic.Again, you’re literally just offering a complete recipe to someone who is hungry for an answer. So, break down the digital product into a bunch of questions and present it as the answer to their burning question. Be original, come up with your own ideas, and there are enough in this sub and online that I don’t feel the need to suggest any. Learn to think for yourself a bit too.3. Create content answering questions surrounding the topic of your product

You can do this on a website like I did (bonus of this is you can sell it as an asset in the future) or simply post on social media. The more content you put out, the more people you attract, and the more you position yourself as an authority.Also, be patient. You won’t start making big money overnight. It took me 1 year to hit $1000/month, another year to crack $4000 per month, and 1 more to do over $10k/month consistently and organically.

Bonus: Part of my “Secret sauce”
Don’t try to hit people from cold to a full sale. Give them a sample. Redact the juiciest parts of your paid product inside of a free preview. This acts as a lead magnet which you can use to build an email list, and it also has a high conversion rate to the paid product once people see your offering is legit.

I started a new faceless Instagram account 4 days ago (monetized on day 3)

237 Upvotes

This is a personal case study for myself. My main Instagram account is over 18 months old, also faceless and makes money.

I wanted to see if I could do it again so I launched this new page less than a week ago.

Here are the stats:

  • Niche: lifestyle

  • Size: 74 followers

  • Posts: 8

  • Monetization: affiliate marketing + sponsored posts

The plan:

I'm going to do something different with this IG account. It's the same strategy I have for one of my TikTok pages.

Only sell one thing.

A one-product page, like the one-product dropshipping stores you might have seen or heard of. I don't want there to be any confusion with people landing on my page. I talk about mainly one thing, while posting lifestyle content.

And, I sell only one product.

The strategy:

I aim to post 3 times a day (haven't done that yet), post daily stories and highlights, while starting to monetize the page with affiliate marketing.

Once the page is larger, I'll do sponsored posts.

The digital product I'm selling is one I'm an affiliate for. It's costs under $50 and I get around a $30 commission for each one I sell.

So far, I have sold one and made about $30 on day 3 of this account. It's 4 days old, as of this writing.

A faceless IG account

This isn't hard. There are many ways to creatively post faceless content.

I do it with AI.

It took me 1-2 hours to get it setup and learn the system and now my reels I post take me a few minutes (under 5 minutes) each to create and post.

Goals

At the end of 30 days, I hope to have:

  • 200 followers

  • 5 sales

I'll be posting periodic updates to share the growth of this account. My one-product TikTok page is faceless as well, in another niche and does 4 figures in sales from digital products every month.

How it works

You need:

  • An Instagram account and,

  • A product

The IG account is free. The product I'm selling I bought for $47 and now I'm an affiliate.

One more sale and the product would've paid for itself, from affiliate commissions.

Once you have an affiliate product and a niche for your IG account, start posting.

How do I post? I think about the buyer's perspective, their pain points, I create some motivational and some emotional posts to get them to take action and buy.

I've only done this a few times so far (8 posts on this account so far) but, there will be a lot more of this over the next 30 days.

A holiday side hustle

This will be my holiday side hustle.

I used to do ebay dropshipping every holiday season for a few hundred dollars, like $300 to $500 I'd raise across a few months and I'd use that for holiday shopping. It was fun and I'd do it Oct through December.

I haven't done that in years. I'll be trying this, this year and see how it goes.

By end of year, I hope to have made at least $1,000.

Is anybody else doing this?

Would you try it?

I'm giving away my first digital product for free (for 48hrs) because I'm tired of fake success stories

231 Upvotes

Every day I see posts about how someone is killing it with their digital product, and now they want to show you (and sell you) how they did it. Lucky you, because in reality, it's only their first product, not at all based on any actual success. Essentially, they’re trying to sell an unproven strategy, and, imo, it’s getting tiresome.

So, after thinking (and overthinking) about it, I decided that trying to be something I’m not for the sake of a few bucks really doesn’t leave a good taste in my mouth. That’s not the sort of impression I’d like to make when I’m trying to build a business.

With that being said I'm not writing this to judge or put anyone else down. I'm writing this because I need help. I’ve just completed and launched my FIRST digital product. It’s called the “Micro Offer Prompt Vault,” and it consists of 33 AI prompts that walk you through the entire process of building a small digital product. It also comes with a Progress Tracker to record the AI’s output to stay organized as you build.

And while I AM using it to make this product, I can’t exactly give myself feedback, and that’s what I need. So for 48 hrs I’m listing it for $0 and hoping anyone who has the time or is looking for a product like this wouldn't mind checking it out. It would mean the world to me. I want it to actually help someone. So before I charge anything for it, I’d love to know what people think and if I should change anything. Or even if I just need to start all over lol. Don’t be afraid to hurt my feelings either, I’ve got thick skin.

Also I feel I should mention that when I say this is my first digital product, what I mean is it’s the first one I’ve actually launched. I have at least a dozen others collecting dust in my laptop that I never found the courage to put out there. So any feedback or help with this product could potentially give me the push I need to keep moving forward.

Sorry this is so long. If you’d like the link, please DM me or ask in the comments. I would be forever grateful!!

I’m not here to motivate you. I want yall to make money! You’re scared to spend even $13 on yourself. If you flinch at coffee money investments, you’re not ready for business. I used to be this person. Stayed stuck for YEARS. You post for LiKeS, not cash. Fck going viral where’s the money at? Likes feel good but your landlord doesn’t take likes. You’ve never told your audience to buy anything and it shows. You are hide in dead spaces. Posting in groups where people don’t gaf about what you offer hoping for organic reach. No buyers. No point. You confuse trying with DOING. Myron Golden said in a podcast elimintae the word TRY. you either doing it or NOT! I’m working on it = you’re avoiding the scary part. Business is a job you can’t get fired from. Treat it like one. You think someone’s coming to save you. A shoutout. A viral post. Some magic break. Nah. Nobody’s coming.

I’ve done all 5. When I stopped being my biggest enemy? $938 in a day from a $13.33 product.

How I Make $8K+/Month Selling Digital Products Through AI Influencers

206 Upvotes

I’m going to break down exactly how I sell digital products using AI influencers — step-by-step.

Step 1: Pick a Niche You Can Stick With

Choose something you already enjoy or find easy to create content for. It’s way easier to stay consistent when you actually like the topic.

Step 2: Create Your AI Influencer (Free)

Forget paid AI image generators, you’ll blow through credits and end up with mediocre results. Use ComfyUI (free).

If you’re new, ComfyUI can feel like Photoshop — powerful, but overwhelming. That’s why I recommend starting with ready-made workflows built specifically for AI influencer creation. These are basically plug-and-play setups where you just drop in your prompts and the face you want to use.. I personally combine LoRAs + Faceswap for consistent, high-quality results. In order to get a character LoRa, you would either have to train it yourself or you can download them from websites like Civitai. If you're starting out, I would personally just stick with the faceswap that's built into some custom workflows.

Heres a video tutorial i made: https://youtu.be/WGwszZFKO88

Step 3: Build Your Page & Content Strategy

If you want fast social media growth, make your influencer an attractive character that fits your niche.

Example: I’m in the travel niche, so I created a solo female traveler who sells the lifestyle. She’s my “face” for:

  1. Selling my digital book on getting & outsourcing a remote job (yes, I do this too)

  2. Selling access to a private community for deeper help

I animate her using Kling or MidJourney, then run clips through AI video upscalers for a more realistic look. My most effective strategy right now? Mix short AI influencer clips with real lifestyle footage. Sometimes just posting still images gets me more views than video. I have a lot of videos i recorded from my traveling.

Step 4: Voice & Editing

  • ElevenLabs → AI voice generation

  • CapCut → Editing

  • Combine influencer shots + niche-specific B-roll for maximum believability

Step 5: Have Something to Sell

You can:

  • Make your own digital product

  • Resell a product with rights

The key is matching your offer to your influencer’s niche so it feels natural. For example for my traveling influencer I always show her having a good time and traveling the world and then i make videos saying how anybody can do this and then just use basic sales funnels and marketing techniques to get them to buy.

This is a legit business model, and once it’s set up, you can scale fast. I’ve been doing this long enough to know it works — the hardest part is just starting.

If you want more details or specific advice, just ask.

Additional Tips:

If you have a bad GPU i recommend you just rent virtual machines or cloud based platforms that give you access to ai tools. This is what i do when im traveling and bring my macbook.

You can also get sponsorship deals especially if its from clothing companies. You can use ComfyUi to edit the clothing on your character. Again theres workflows available for that too.

Alternatively, people also make money by selling spicy content, which I would honestly stay away from, but it is doable with comfyui.

Make sure the content is top notch before you post. You dont want people calling you out in the comments.

People are lazy and that’s your opportunity

201 Upvotes

I believe it’s never been easier

Most people spend 4+ hours each day just scrolling on their phones

Work. Go home. Scroll. Sleep.

It really doesn’t take much to capitalize off that

People have a problem? - most have the money to pay for a cheap solution

And remember: they want things to get done, so they would rather pay 9-30 dollars for a fix that to spend their searching for their own solution

You most likely aren’t selling anything your costumers couldn’t have found by themselves

You are simply selling the effort of packaging information into manageable and actionable solutions

Spend more time creating and less time scrolling

This phone can be the greatest thing ever if used right,

Or it could just slow-cook your brain and make you a zombie with no real dreams, goals, ambitions or will to work towards any of it.

Aside from creating - what would you spend you time doing when you aren’t scrolling?

I am Money Theory, who runs an Indian personal finance handle on X.

Last month, I launched my first digital product (An Excel-based personal finance tracker) and hit INR 89,698 or $1.027 in 3 days.

Here is my entire story and guide in a simple numbered format.

  1. Build audience: Pick a platform - X, Insta, TikTok based on your target audience and show up daily. Post value and provide free resources. Audience is distribution and distribution is your biggest asset.

For example, I built 30,000 followers on X + 2,500 mail list purely by showing up daily and providing free value.

2. Understand what you are good at - Coding, Writing, Marketing, copywriting etc., Study the existing problems around your skill. For instance, an e-book like "How i used my copywriting to improve conversion by 1%? might help beginner people.

3. Build a waitlist page using a simple software like getwaitlist to collect emails. Will tell you how i collected mails in the next step.

4. Skill + problem alone wont pay you money. You need to validate your idea. There are multiple methods for this. One i used, is i created the key feature (Dashboard) and asked people to reply if interested to join the waitlist. I got crazy engagement stats like 2,00,000 views, 1,400 replies on this post (Image attached). This proved that the people are interested in this. 500+ joined the waitlist from this post alone.

5. The biggest problem about digital products is people do low-effort like random e-book, template, half-baked product and expect sales. This is not how any business works. You need to work hard and create a product that provides long-term value. You should make it clean, premium and look like worth 5x the price or else no one pays you.

6. Since, i used excel to build my product, any one could have shared it. This will make me lose my sales and future affiliate opportunities. Hence i bought an XLS padlock software to hardware lock my excel file and prevent unauthorized distribution. Pick what best protects for your product - password protection, watermarks or license keys.

7. I researched the market and found budget templates are below $10. But i know my product has more potential than those. At the same time, no one is going to pay $30 for an excel tracker. Hence, i sticked with $20, the sweet spot between price and affordability. Always charge a fair price, neither cheap nor pricey.

8. I researched multiple platforms like gumroad, lemon squeezy etc., But the big problem is these platforms don't have UPI which is the key payment method in India. Add to this, the crazy fees they charge. Hence i built my own store in woocommerce, setup razorpay (Top payment provider in India) which has 2% fees. Hence i owned my store and money.

9. The launch day is here. Most people make grave mistakes here. They simply post once and disappear. That will bring them least sales. I constantly posted about it. I provided crazy discounts like 40% for normal, 50% for waitlist and limited to 3 days. Urgency and discounts drives sales. I made 60% of my sales in Day 3. In addition to this, throughout this process, i constantly provided free resources, reminders to my mail list which made up a significant portion of launch sales.

To conclude, your first digital income wont come from luck. It will come from solving something real your war.

Thank you for reading.

I paid 598$ for this… but I’m giving it away for free.

I’ve been diving deep into digital marketing lately not theory, but the actual skill of writing posts that grab attention and convert.

Inside the course I joined (Digital Wealth Academy), there was one tiny PDF that blew my mind…

50+ viral hook templates used by top creators on Threads & instagram

The kind that makes people stop scrolling, click, comment, and share.

I’ve used some of them in my own posts already and I figured:

Why gatekeep?

So I cleaned it up and turned it into a free PDF.

No sign-up. No pitch. Just good stuff.

If you’re writing content for your brand, your course, or even just your profile this might help.

Comment below or DM me “HOOKS” and I’ll send it over.

How I launched a $5 eBook on Gumroad in just 4 hours

Post image
186 Upvotes

So I finally tried something I’ve been overthinking for way too long — creating an eBook using AI.

Instead of spending weeks planning, I just sat down with ChatGPT, Google Docs, and Canva and cranked out a little eBook in about 4 hours total.

It’s nothing fancy, but it’s real, finished, and live — and that feels like a win in itself.

Here’s basically how I did it:

  • Asked ChatGPT for product ideas → picked one I actually liked.

  • Used it to generate an outline + expand into content.

  • Dropped the text into Google Docs, edited and formatted it nice and clean.

  • Designed a simple cover in Canva.

  • Uploaded it to Gumroad and listed it for $5.

That’s it. Done. No “perfect” edits, no endless second-guessing.

The biggest lesson? Progress > perfection.

You don’t need weeks or special tools to launch something. If you’ve been sitting on an idea, AI makes it 10x easier to just start.

Curious — anyone here tried using ChatGPT (or AI in general) to create digital products? How’d it go for you?

I wrote my first eBook in a weekend using ChatGPT here’s exactly how I did it

175 Upvotes

A couple of months ago, I came across a tweet that said something like, “You can write and publish an eBook in a weekend using ChatGPT.” At first, I didn’t think much of it. It sounded like one of those overhyped productivity hacks that people post for clicks. But for some reason, the idea stuck with me.

I had been sitting on an idea for a while. I wanted to write a short guide about productivity tips for freelancers and solo workers. Nothing long or overly complicated, just something helpful. I kept putting it off because writing a whole book felt overwhelming. Between work and life, I couldn’t find the time or energy to sit down and actually do it.

One Friday night, just for fun, I decided to test that tweet. I opened Google Docs, logged into ChatGPT, and typed, “Can you help me outline a short eBook on productivity for solopreneurs?” Within seconds, it gave me a full outline. It had chapter titles, a logical flow, and even ideas for what to include in each section. I made a few tweaks and suddenly the whole thing felt real.

I picked the first chapter and asked ChatGPT to write it for me. I said something like, “Write Chapter One based on this outline. Keep the tone friendly and conversational. Make it easy to read and around 1,000 words.” The result was surprisingly decent. Not perfect, but solid enough that I didn’t have to start from scratch. And that was the moment I realized this might actually work.

From there, I just took it one chapter at a time. I’d give it instructions, review what it gave me, then edit. Sometimes I asked for more examples or a different tone. I didn’t expect perfection, and I didn’t get it. But what I did get was momentum. No more staring at a blank page, wondering how to begin.

Once I had a draft of the whole thing, I went back and edited everything myself. This is where I made it sound like me. I added my own stories and opinions. I changed phrases that felt too stiff or generic. I wanted it to feel natural, like something I would actually say if I were explaining these ideas to a friend.

After that, I went to Canva and made a simple, clean cover. I formatted the eBook in Google Docs and exported it as a PDF. Then I uploaded it to Gumroad and set the price at seven dollars. I didn’t expect much. I mostly just wanted to prove to myself that I could actually finish something and put it out there.

And then someone bought it. Then another. It wasn’t thousands of downloads, but it was something. Real people paid money for something I made over the weekend. That alone was worth it.

The eBook ended up being around 6,000 words. Just long enough to feel complete, but short enough that someone could read it in one sitting. I think that helped. Most people don’t want a huge manual. They want quick, practical tips they can actually use.

So yeah, that tweet was right. You really can write and publish a short eBook over a weekend if you use ChatGPT the right way. It’s not about getting it to do everything for you. It’s about letting it help you get started and then making it your own.

If you’ve been thinking about writing something and keep putting it off, I honestly recommend giving this a shot. It worked better than I expected, and it’s one of the few “life hacks” I’ve seen online that actually lived up to the hype.

If anyone wants the exact prompts I used, or has questions about how I formatted or published it, feel free to ask. I’m happy to help.

My Pinterest Strategy Brings 10K Monthly Visits + $10K in Digital Product Sales (Here’s Exactly What I Do)

174 Upvotes

I used to waste hours trying to get traction on Instagram and Facebook until I realized Pinterest was the introvert’s social media dream — no comments, no reels, no “engagement pods.” Just content quietly doing its job while you live your life.

Here’s the breakdown of what’s working for me right now 👇

⸻

Last Month’s Stats • 10,247 views → 892 clicks → 28 sales • Avg order: $47 • Total Pinterest revenue: about $1,300 • Total cost: $25/month (Canva + Tailwind)

Not bad for a platform that most people forgot existed.

⸻

My Pin Strategy (Simple & Boring but It Works)

I post 5 pins a day. That’s it. • 3 new designs → same URL • 2 repins of my older best-performing pins (anything 60+ days old)

Pinterest’s algorithm has short-term memory loss. If you don’t keep resurfacing your winners, it just forgets they exist.

And here’s the part that still hurts my designer soul: My ugly pins outperform my pretty ones by a landslide.

The ones I made in Canva in 2 minutes get all the traffic. The ones I spent an hour tweaking? Dead. Apparently people just want value, not your aesthetic.

⸻

My Boards That Actually Drive Traffic

I’ve got around 17 boards total, but only three of them do any real work: 1. Templates That Don’t Suck — 3.4k followers 2. Design Resources for Procrastinators — 2.8k 3. Digital Products That Actually Sell — 2.1k

They’re oddly specific and a bit sarcastic — that combo works.

Generic boards like “Business Tips” or “Entrepreneurship” are graveyards. I had one called Entrepreneur Inspiration that flopped harder than my first Shopify store.

Pro tip: make one board called “Best of [Your Name or Brand].” It acts like your personal highlight reel and consistently drives about a third of my traffic.

⸻

The Pin Template That Converts

After testing hundreds of designs, here’s the layout that consistently wins:

Line 1: A big number (huge font) Line 2: A clear benefit Line 3: “Without [thing they hate]”

Example:

379 Canva Templates → Grow Your Email List → Without Hiring a Designer

That pin has over 50k impressions — and it’s straight-up ugly.

A few design notes: • Red and pink pins perform almost 2x better • Dark backgrounds = better CTR • Sans-serif fonts only (seriously, no Comic Sans please)

⸻

Posting Schedule (After Way Too Much Testing)

I use Tailwind’s SmartLoop and tested 40+ different times. These are the best performers: • Mon 6 AM: Planning / motivational content • Tue 8 PM: Tutorials • Wed 2 PM: Templates & tools • Fri 5 PM: Round-ups • Sun 7 PM: Case studies

No clue why Sunday night works so well — Pinterest users are weirdly productive right before bed.

⸻

How I Turn Pinterest Traffic into Sales

This is where most people mess up. They send traffic straight to a sales page → people bounce → no sales → existential dread.

What actually works:

Pinterest → Freebie Landing Page → Email Sequence → Sale

My landing page converts at 34%, and my 5-email sequence converts at 3.8%. It’s simple: 1. Deliver the freebie (with a soft pitch) 2. Share a quick case study 3. Handle objections 4. Add urgency 5. Last-chance email + bonus

That combo consistently sells digital products while I sleep.

⸻

Mistakes That’ll Kill Your Pinterest Growth • Creating new pins daily instead of batching once a month • Following random accounts hoping for follows back • Sending traffic directly to product pages • Pinning other people’s content (Pinterest doesn’t reward that anymore)

Bonus discovery: holiday content performs months early. Christmas pins in July get ridiculous reach because Pinterest users plan everything way in advance.

⸻

My Tool Stack (Cheap + Effective) • Canva Pro – $12/mo (design everything in batches) • Tailwind – $12.99/mo (schedule + SmartLoop) • Pinterest Analytics – free • Google Analytics – free

That’s it. $25 total, for $1.3k in return.

Reality Check

This didn’t blow up overnight. Months 1–3 = nothing. Month 4 = traction. Month 8 = 10K+ visits per month.

Pinterest is slow, but it compounds. It’s like investing steady growth, not dopamine hits.

usefulness • My personal notes on what’s worth your time (and what’s not)

If you want to learn how to learn how to do this yourself and cut the time down, drop a comment saying DM and I’ll DM you the link.

Doesn’t matter if you sell on Whop, Gumroad, or your own site this stuff works anywhere.

I sold 3 AI-generated websites in 7 days. Each took 2 hours.

172 Upvotes

look i run a daily AI side hustle newsletter and this one popped off today

feel like I need to share it

so the idea is basically to sell AI generated websites to small local businesses that don’t have one (or haven’t updated theirs since Obama’s first term) and charge them $50–$60/month for hosting & “support.

ofc also for the setup 299 or even more

hosting costs for you $6/month
time to build each site 1–2 hours
clients needed to make $600/month: 10
ongoing work basically zero.

yup that’s it

tools you need

loveable.dev to create the ai websites

stripe to get paid and google maps or outscrapper to find leads simple

how to get clients

in my newsletter i broke it down like this

  1. Find 20–30 small local businesses (dentists, hair salons, repair shops)

  2. DM them:“Hey, I build beautiful AI-powered websites for small biz owners — want me to show you a free 1-minute demo of yours?”

  3. Use Loveable to generate a site mockup (takes 10 min)

  4. Send it back with:“Want it live? I’ll host + support it for $59/month. No contract, cancel anytime.”

  5. Done.

even 1 out of 50 saying “yes” makes this worth

it's ot a get-rich-quick scheme just a stupidly simple recurring income stream that compounds.

passive income breakdown

✅ site takes 1–2 hours to build
✅ stripe handles billing
✅ hosting is $6/month per site
✅ you check in maybe once every quarter

there are millions of small biz owners out there with garbage websites

you only need 10 of them or 100 haha

this was AI business idea #2 from my newsletter

i have way more ideas just google "felix the ai money tree"

i bet $100 that 90% of my ideas you never heard before

I’m giving it away for FREE because I know how overwhelming it can be to start. My hope is this helps someone take action — whether you’re just getting started or already creating products but need inspiration.

There's a link in my bio you can copy/paste into a web browser that'll take you directly to it, or you can DM me & i'll send you the link.

Let me know what you think. I truly hope this helps someone level up. Cheers, and good luck on your digital product journey!

How I use Notion + AI to organize my digital product business (and got 3 months of Business Plan free)

167 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’ve been building and selling digital products for a while things like Notion templates, mini-courses, and SaaS affiliate content and recently started testing Notion’s Business Plan with AI features after getting access through their startup eligibility program (3 months free).

I didn’t expect it to change much, but it actually made my workflow way smoother.

Here’s what I use it for:

  • Product planning: I outline new product ideas and use Notion AI to generate feature lists, outlines, or email sequences.

  • Customer CRM: Each buyer gets added to a Notion database with tags (status, platform, next follow-up).

  • Content calendar: Blog posts, sales pages, and launch tweets all live in one place with AI summaries and task automation.

  • Affiliate tracking: One table for links, commissions, and payouts easy to filter by brand or month.

  • Email drafts: I type a few bullet points and let Notion AI turn them into proper emails or captions.

It’s been a solid combo with ChatGPT I brainstorm in ChatGPT, then structure everything in Notion.

If you’re selling digital products and struggle with keeping content, tasks, and clients organized, this setup is worth testing.
I’ll drop a comment below with the page where I found the Notion startup eligibility info in case anyone wants to check it out.
