7 ai digital products that make $7K to $890K

Digital products are one of the best

ways to get started making money online

as a side hustle because they're super

easy to get started with. You don't need

to invest that much upfront to start

selling them. They're super

beginnerfriendly. You don't need to hold

any inventory or manage customer service

like you do when you're selling a

physical item. And you almost always

have a 90% profit margin or higher. So,

when you sell a product like these

digital planners, when they sell for

$28, that means you keep almost the

entire sale in profit minus any

marketplace fees. And by the end of the

video, I'm going to show you my process

for how I'm able to build almost any

digital product whatsoever. And if I had

to start over from complete scratch

today, these are the seven digital

products that I would choose from to

grow my business right now. This

particular listing is selling super

well. You can see it's making an

estimated 190 sales per month. And the

cool thing with a product like this is

that you only have to create it once and

then it can continue to sell forever.

Now, this specific listing is only about

6 months old and it's already made

around $30,000 in revenue. But the point

is that a product like this digital

planner can continue to sell far into

the future as well. These aren't just

digital products, but they're digital

assets that once you create them,

they'll continue to pay you far into the

future. These digital budget planners

absolutely print. And you can see that

there's hundreds of these listings that

are all selling and making anywhere from

only a few hundred dollars all the way

up to tens of thousands of dollars in

profit per month. The real profit here

isn't made in just creating a general

budget planner, but instead niching

down. You'll notice that some of the top

selling budget planners right now aren't

just a general budget planner, but

instead they target a specific niche.

And these budget planners target

anything from weddings to paycheck

automation to Christmas gift tracking to

even travel budget planners. So niching

down is exactly what I would do if I was

going to go sell a budget planner. So if

you're going to get started selling a

digital product on Etsy, which is where

I would personally start if I had to

start over again, you can see that the

budget planner niche has a lot of

competition, a few hundred,000 competing

listings. So although a lot of these

listings are making a good average

monthly revenue, you can also see that

the average age is around 18 months. So

these listings are a bit older. But if

we niche down and we search for

something like a travel budget planner,

you can see that there's way less

competition in this specific niche. And

Etsy's promoting a lot more new listings

on this first page of search results.

So, although there's still a few

thousand competing listings, Etsy is

still testing out new product listings

on this page of search results to give

new sellers a chance. And for

perspective, some of the shops that are

selling these budget planners, even just

on Etsy, are able to make a ton of

money. If I click into one of these

shops, you can see that some of them

aren't even that old. This one's only 2

and a half years old and they've already

made around $250,000

in estimated revenue, which would mean

they were making around $100,000 per

year. So, selling a digital product,

that's definitely not bad. The cool

thing is we can also use AI to help us

make this type of product. So, I just

had a quick conversation with Chat GPT

where I asked it to build me a budget

planner that I could use in Google

Sheets without me having to style the

document or create all of the pages and

fields myself. And what it did was it

gave me a step-by-step guide that I

could follow along with a script that I

can use to actually go generate this

budget planner. The process was really

simple in general. So, all I had to do

was create a new Google sheet and then

under the extensions tab, I just clicked

on apps script. This allowed me to paste

in the script that chat GBT gave me. And

essentially, all I have to do is hit

run. You can see it kind of working down

here at the bottom. And since this is

already connected to that Google sheet

that I created because I followed this

step-by-step guide. And if I go back

into the Google sheet, you can see that

it basically added in this boiler plate

so that I can continue building out this

budget planner. Now, this is just one

quick conversation with ChatGpt. So,

this is definitely not perfect and uh

not quite sellable just yet, but it

definitely gives me a starting point and

I bet I could get Chachi BT to give me

an even more robust script to build an

even better budget planner that

eventually I might be able to sell. Now,

this isn't ready to sell off the bat,

but I'm sure that with a little bit more

configuration and a little bit more help

from ChatGpt and possibly some better

directions that I provided, it would be

able to come up with a much better

budget planner in not that much time.

Plus, if I targeted this budget planner

towards a specific niche, I would

probably have a much easier time getting

traffic on that product and hopefully

making sales over time. The earning

potential with these digital planners is

anywhere from a few thousand for some of

the medium range listings all the way up

to shops selling this product that are

making around $100,000 a month. Now, you

might have seen that there's over 17,000

other budget planner listings posted for

sale just in the travel niche. So, how

are you supposed to compete when there's

that many other sellers? Even though it

might still feel competitive with 17,000

other listings posted for sale in this

niche, you can see that Etsy is

constantly pushing out and testing new

listings on their first page of search

results. So, just on this first page,

you can see there's a good mix of

evergreen, trending, and new listings

that were posted within the last 60

days. Etsy is always testing out new

listings to find the actual best

products for each category in search.

And that's because most of the

competition that's on Etsy just posts

really lowquality, loweffort products.

So that's why I always like selling my

products on Etsy because they give every

seller, including brand new sellers, a

chance, even for really competitive

searches like a budget planner. But how

do you even know how to create a product

like this and make it better than the

competition? This is where I want to

teach you something hopefully more

valuable than any one of these single

ideas on this list. And that's a concept

I call product hacking. So you can think

of each product as a set of puzzle

pieces or elements that when combined

together create the final product. So

your job as the product creator is to

come in and identify these elements or

the different pieces of the product and

break them down into their core pieces

so that you can identify one specific

piece that you could make better. These

features vary depending on the specific

type of product that you're selling. But

some of the common elements are things

like the features. So if you're selling

a budget planner, what specific budget

planning features does your planner

offer that someone else might not be

offering? You can also target different

niches or add better mockup and

presentation to your overall listing or

do better SEO and marketing. So, your

job as the product creator is to

identify a best-selling winning product.

Identify which elements are being used

in that product and then select one of

those elements to go and make better so

that when you launch your product

listing for sale, it actually has a

chance of making sales. You just need to

be able to replicate a product and then

make one element of it a bit better than

all of the competition. And that's how

you can set yourself apart. But that

brings us to the next idea on the list,

craft tutorials. So, I came across this

listing, which is essentially just a PDF

download that also comes with a video

tutorial teaching you how to crochet and

create this snowman figure. Now,

although this does seem like a

relatively simple listing, at least in

my opinion, I took a look at the stats

card here on the side, and noticed that

this product is selling around 3,000

times per month. So, I kept digging a

little bit and found that there's all

kinds of craft tutorial listings posted

for sale. These listings range from

anywhere from cup warmers, blankets,

mittens, these little Christmas tree

things, and even slippers. And the

craziest part is that since these are

literally just tutorials, these listings

make an insane amount of money. A lot of

these craft tutorial and pattern

templates, at least on this first page

of search results, are making anywhere

from around $5,000 on the lower end all

the way up to some listings that are

making $40 to even $50,000 in revenue

per month. And keep in mind, some of

these single listings don't even include

the revenue from other listings that

might be in the same shops. Some of

these individual listings that teach you

how to make something as simple as these

crocheted pumpkins are making more per

month than some people make in an entire

year. And it makes a ton of sense

because you might be saving someone a

bunch of time where they pay you $15 to

$30 for your tutorial and then they

learn exactly how to get the result

you're promising. If you want to sell a

product like this, then you absolutely

need some kind of craft related skill

that you can turn into a tutorial that

people will pay you for. But at the

moment, these crochet templates seem to

be the most popular, at least on Etsy's

marketplace. But there are a lot of

other types of craft related patterns

and downloads that people are offering

for sale. And this is a product where if

you do have the craft related skills,

you actually have a huge advantage in

creating something like this over

everyone else. Now, I'd personally

recommend doing a little bit of research

to figure out which type of craft

tutorials are actually selling the best

so that you don't waste your time

creating a tutorial that no one's going

to want. But ultimately, if there's a

skill you have, even if it might seem a

little bit more trivial, something like

crochet, it can be useful to someone

else and they might be willing to pay

for it. And it really just goes to show

that if you're willing to put in the

effort, you really can sell almost

anything. The profit potential here

obviously depends on the niche you're

targeting, the quality of your listings,

and all of the basics. But some of the

middle range listings here are making

around 7 to $8,000 in revenue per month.

And some of those top outlier listings

make anywhere from 40 up to $50,000 per

month. That said, if you're looking for

something still sort of crafty, but a

little bit more direct where you don't

have to package up your own personal

experience into a product, then I would

consider selling journal and

scrapbooking bundles. So, this

particular journal bundle, and yes, it's

called a journal bundle, is just a

listing with a bunch of different types

of assets inside it, such as bucket list

pages, calendar planning, mood trackers,

doodle pages, monthly pages, and

obviously a lot more is going on here.

And honestly, I just wanted to show you

this listing because it's making an

insane amount of money. To me, it kind

of looks like a lot of these assets are

more like coloring pages. But

considering the fact that this listing

was posted only about two months ago,

and it's already selling around 2,000

times per month, you can't really knock

what's working. This is why I always say

that you start with research so that you

can provide more supply where there's a

ton of demand. And personally, if I was

going to sell this particular product, I

would probably do something more similar

to this listing where all of their

assets just feel a little bit more

premium and a little bit more

professional, I guess you could say. But

the assets just overall look a little

bit cleaner. And this is probably

something I would go with. Also,

considering that it's still selling

super well. And this is a really cool

product because you can see that this

specific one was listed back in 2023,

which feels like a really long time ago.

But like I talked about earlier, these

are digital assets that continue to pay

you over time. And this one has earned

the creator around $240,000.

But regardless, there's still a ton of

these asset packs that are being sold

that just make it easier for people to

do things like scrapbooking or

journaling. And there's some listings

within this niche that sell at an even

more premium price. So, for example,

this bundle is selling for around $72.

And you can see that with around 30

sales per month, they're still able to

make around $2,000 per month, which

isn't bad for some passive income.

You're basically saving people time and

giving them a bundle of assets. So,

depending on what they're looking for

for their journaling or scrapbooking

needs, they might buy your listing pack.

If you do some research and have a good

understanding of what this specific type

of customer wants, you could go create

these packs using AI or some other tools

and have something to list for sale.

Obviously, for any one of these niches,

making a good product is essential. And

in addition to that, there's a few core

principles that will help you make a lot

more money over time. These are the

three core principles that most

beginners miss that are absolutely

essential if you want to be successful.

The first is that volume always wins and

you need to publish more listings. Most

beginners give up after they've posted

20 to 30 listings, but that's nowhere

near enough to gain traction. The

bestselling shops on Etsy have hundreds,

if not thousands of listings posted for

sale. So, try and think about your

business long term. Try and find a way

that you can post hundreds of listings

over time. It's really difficult to make

your first 20 listings, and it takes a

ton of time, but after that, your next

hundred listings become a lot easier to

post. Second is you have to use proven

mock-ups only. The mockup is the

billboard and it's the advertisement for

your product listing. The mockup is the

actual image that displays what your

digital product is. Most beginners just

throw something together and hope that

it works. But in reality, you need to

study the mock-ups that successful

listings and successful shops are using

and try to see if you can use the same

mock-ups in your own product listings.

And number three, only build products

based on what's already proven to work.

When you go to create a product, this is

one of the reasons why I like selling on

Etsy is because you can see using some

plugins what exact products are already

selling the best. You can learn from

that and study where all of the demand

is going so that you can provide more

supply. You can create more similar

listings to target all of that demand

and make easier sales. And by the way,

these three steps are part of my quick

start guide. So, if you want to get

started selling digital products on

Etsy, I'll leave a free download link to

this guide below. It helps you get set

up and start selling in less than nine

minutes. This is a pretty broad category

of product and it includes a lot of

things, but from what I can tell, if you

follow the fundamentals of researching

and creating assets that people actually

want and use, you can earn anywhere from

10 to 20 and even up to $30,000 per

month with this product. But that brings

us to the next idea on the list, which

is one of my all-time favorite products

to sell, and that's digital prints. Now,

I've definitely mentioned selling this

product before, and anyone who's watched

my previous videos will know, but that's

because it's one of the easiest products

to make while still being a product that

can make you a ton of money. I noticed

this listing on Etsy, which is a pack of

Christmas themed digital downloads. Now,

I like this type of product because the

actual prints themselves are super easy

to make using AI. And obviously, this

specific listing is selling super well

because it's almost Christmas time. But

yeah, the principle is always the same.

We're able to make relevant art to what

customers are already buying and then

list it for sale as a digital download.

And customers are more than happy to

spend $10 to $20 on a pack of artwork so

that they don't have to go through the

hassle of paying for an AI tool,

learning how to write out a prompt,

making it for themselves, and then

hoping that it looks right. Plus, a lot

of people don't even know that it's

possible to make art using AI

themselves. So, when you think about it

in terms of value, you're actually

saving the customer a ton of time and

effort by just creating a simple pack of

artwork that they might want. And for

anyone who says it's oversaturated or

that this doesn't work anymore, this

specific listing is only about 2 months

old and it's already selling a couple

thousand times per month. You can see

just today 28 people have purchased this

bundle. And this isn't just a one-off

example. Here's another pack of

Christmas artwork that was listed around

the same time about 2 months ago. And

this one's also bringing in around 350

sales per month or around $10,000 of

revenue. And it's not just Christmas

artwork either. For example, this

Halloween pack was listed in August

right before Halloween and it sold super

well during that season. And there's

more general vintage style artwork packs

that are more evergreen and will sell

more consistently over time. And as an

added bonus, if you want to sell this

type of product, it's super easy to make

and do if you know what you're doing and

you're using the right tools. So, for

example, I could use a design tool like

KD. Now, I've talked about this tool

before, but it's one of my favorite AI

and general design tools overall at the

moment. And you can see I've just

uploaded a really lowresolution example

that I got from one of the reference

prompt packs. And what I can do is I can

select it and just hit remix with AI.

And right here you can see it brings up

the AI generator at the bottom of the

screen. This is where I can select the

image generation model, which is a cool

thing about KD is they include a bunch

of different AI models all in one place

so that you don't have to go buy five

different subscriptions. We'll match the

aspect ratio to the original input and

then we'll just write a very simple

prompt like using the same style of

image, make a pine tree. We'll hit

generate and then we'll just give it a

few seconds to actually generate out

this image. Right now, I really like the

Nano Banana Pro model. I think it's the

best image generation model that you can

use when generating some kind of artwork

like this. So, honestly, we got a super

good result the first time, but we can

also try it again. So, this time I'm

going to launch out the Nano Banana Pro

model, and we'll just be able to compare

and see which one we like better. The

only downside is that the Pro model only

takes a few more seconds to generate.

And there you go. So, now based on one

reference image, I was able to create

two new designs that honestly look

incredible. If I was designing an

artwork pack, this is the same process

that I would go through. Make a bunch of

different artwork pieces and then bundle

them together, adding a ton of value to

one pack that a customer can buy for $10

to $20. Now, obviously, we could dive

into this a bit more and get more

detailed, but I've already created some

videos on exactly how to do that. So, if

this is the specific product that you

want to sell, you can go watch those

videos next. Keep in mind that most

people don't even know how to use AI

image generators and they also don't

want to go spend the $ 20 to $30 per

month to get a subscription to a

platform like KD. So when they're able

to buy your pack of graphics for $10 to

$20, it's a complete no-brainer to them.

They just want to be able to print out

the artwork or sometimes they just want

to display it in something like these

Samsung TVs that look like a painting on

the wall. It just rotates through all

the digital artwork, kind of adding a

vibe to their living room or wherever

they have it. As usual, your success

depends on your ability to research and

see what's in demand and then make

actual quality designs and products

targeting those niches. But best-selling

listings selling this product, can make

a few thousand per month. And some of

the newer shops that are taking this

approach, such as this shop that's only

one year old, have already made a pretty

respectable amount of revenue just by

selling this digital art. But also

remember, they didn't quit after just 25

listings. They've posted a lot of

listings for sale. Now, a similar but

also completely different product that

you could consider selling is something

like this custom portrait where the

seller is combining two different images

into one. Now, traditionally, this would

be extremely hard to make, and you'd

have to have some serious skills to do

this, where you're combining two

completely different images into one.

You'd have to know Photoshop or actually

be able to make the art yourself. But,

I'm guessing that the seller of this

listing isn't doing all of the manual

work themselves because you can see that

it's only selling for around $28 and 29

people are buying it per day. You can

see in the last month it's sold around

600 times, bringing in an estimated

$22,000 of revenue. There's a bunch of

listings popping up like this one where

the customers able to send in a picture

of their pet and get it turned into a

completely custom piece of artwork or

this one where they're taking a family

photo and turning it into something that

looks like it was generated by Pixar.

So, how are they able to do this? Where

they combine images or transform images

into completely new art styles? These

custom portraits are made using AI. And

this is really cool because we could

replicate the exact same process as

before and use a tool like KD to do this

for us. So to show you this example

inside of KD, I've just opened up a new

document. And from here, we'll just

search for something like an old lady.

Here, I'm just going to look through and

try and find an image that we could use.

So I'll just use this one for an

example. And then I think we'll search

for something like a young boy. Again, I

just need to scroll through and find a

result that I'll use for the example.

Remember, you would be using the

customer's photos here instead. This is

just a quick example uh to show you how

this works. All right, so we've got our

two images, and the process is honestly

super simple. So, all I need to do

inside of KD is press the A key on my

keyboard, and this will allow me to draw

out an artboard around the images that I

have. So, I have to add an artboard

around both images. And then once that's

done, all I need to do is select one of

the artboards and click this purple

little plus icon next to it to create

this purple smart board. They're a

little bit different with the naming.

So, I'll just move it down here so it's

easier to see. And from here, the last

step is I need to click on the other

image and click and drag a second

smartboard into the one that we already

created. So, you can see here now both

of these purple arrows are pointing into

this new Smartboard. And what it's

actually doing is referencing both of

those images in our AI prompt. Again, we

could change out the image model that we

want to use. I'm going to use Nano

Banana Pro. And we're also going to

match the same input aspect ratio as

before. And then I just need to type out

a prompt. So I'm going to say something

like create a black and white sketch

style image showing this lady with the

young boy from these images. Then I'll

hit generate. And we'll just give this a

few seconds to generate. So now it's

done. And you can see with incredible

detail, it's referenced both of these

images that we used as a part of the

prompt and it's combined them into one

image that looks absolutely incredible.

The detail that it's maintained from the

original photos is absolutely insane.

And from here, we could pass this along

to the customer and see if they like it.

We could even try this again and say

combine these two images into one and

make it look like it's Pixar animated.

And remember, when you're selling a

product like this, some people might

know that you can do this with AI, but a

lot of people won't want to have to buy

the AI tools. They don't want to learn

all of the prompting and how to combine

all of the images into one. So, they'd

much rather pay the 20 or $30 to have

you do it so that they don't have to go

through all the hassle. You can see it

was able to do this Pixar style just as

well. And again, it only took me maybe

30 seconds of work. I don't know. Would

you want to see a tutorial of me

breaking down how to sell this specific

product? Let me know in the comments.

That said, on average, the individual

listings here in this category can make

around 20 to $30,000. But keep in mind

that since they are custom, they're made

to order, which means it's a little

easier to get sales upfront, but it's

not going to be passive longterm. But

that brings us to the next product on

the list, which is a little bit more

boring, and that's why nobody actually

wants to sell it, and that's selling ré

templates. Now, I've made a video

breaking down this specific product

before. And what you can see here is

that there's a bunch of ré templates

that are exactly what it sounds like,

just a template for people to fill in

their resume that are all making a few

hundred per month. It's a super simple

product because all it is is a Google

document template where the customer

downloads it and then fills in all of

their information. People buy these for

around $8 because they don't want to

have to go through all of the hassle of

styling them and ensuring that they're

formatted correctly themselves, but this

specific listing is making around $1,700

a month. And if we click through and

actually take a look at this specific

shop, you can see that over 10 years

they've done $111,000 sales and they've

made around $900,000.

That's almost $100,000 a year and

selling a digital product. That's

definitely not bad. Again, the real

money here is made by niching down. A

lot of the really successful listings

here that sell consistently over time

target specific industries, like this

nursing resume. It's just targeted a

little bit different so that if a nurse

is looking for a résé template, this is

going to be the one that shows up. If

you search for something like nurse ré

templates on Etsy, you can see that

there's hardly any competition, only

around 3,000 listings. And that's

because this is a product that people

don't usually want to take the time to

build out. But keep in mind that once

you get it right, it really wouldn't

take you that long to make multiple

versions. You could copy a nursing

resume template and target it to a bunch

of other industries pretty quickly. And

with only 3,000 competing listings and

knowing that Etsy's still pushing out

new listings to searches like this, it

shows you that there's definitely

long-term money to be made here. I

actually have an entire video breaking

down how to make this exact product that

I posted a couple years ago, and it's

still relevant to this day. So, if you

want to make this product, then you can

go check out that video next. Each

individual template that you make and

post for sale might not sell right away,

and they might sell slower over time,

but if you build up a large enough

catalog eventually, like the shops that

we took a look at, you can make some

good money over time. Now, obviously, I

like using AI to help me build out great

products. And in this case, what I ended

up doing was taking ChatGpt and asking

it to give me a prompt that I can use

with a different AI tool called Figma

Make. Now, what this tool does is it

basically allows me to generate out an

entire website around a central theme.

So, I copied the prompt from chatbt. I

pasted it into this Figma make tool and

honestly, it took around 5 to 10 minutes

to finish generating, but it did a

really thorough job. And what you can

see is once it's done, I basically had

an entire webpage resume builder that I

could use. And what was really cool

about this is I was able to fill in all

of my personal details that you would

normally put on a resume. So I just put

in some example details and work

experience. And you can see it populates

in real time on the right hand side. So

the resume is being built as I enter in

all of my personal details. And also has

a really cool stylizer. So depending on

how I wanted the actual resume to look,

it gave me a few different options

there. And this entire ré builder was

built using AI, which is definitely not

bad in my opinion. But that brings us to

the next product on the list, which is

one that I've never talked about before,

and that's selling these custom icon

packs. So, this one surprised me a

little bit when I saw how well it was

selling. You can see that this

particular listing is making around

$3,000 a month. And all it is is a pack

of custom, unique, handdrawn icons that

people can download and use on their

phone. Now, to me, this looks like it

would be a little bit harder to create,

especially if you don't have that

graphic design experience. But you can

see that even this listing that's super

old and was posted all the way back in

2021 has consistently sold well over

time. Now, there's some other examples

like this listing where they're going

with this fall themed icon pack and it's

sold pretty well over time as well. You

can see in the same time frame, it's

made an additional $230,000.

The cool thing is that a shop like this

can use their graphic design skills to

create these icon packs, but they can

also sell a bunch of different other

type of products like these stickers

that people might use in digital

planners or journals or things like

that. But one of their primary and

bestselling products are these icon

packs that you can see sell consistently

over time. And if we add it up and take

a look at the shop's overall stats, you

can see that from the last 5 years,

they've been able to sell over 110,000

items. And that's brought them in

roughly $1.8 million. That's around

$360,000 per year. And all of that comes

from only around $138 product listings.

And with digital products, again, that's

going to almost be all profit. This is a

product that is going to be harder to

make, but that also means that you're

competing with less people. The listings

I've seen make anywhere from a few

hundred to a few thousand per month, but

once you create one of these packs, it

should be easier to get a few more of

these packs out. Remember, you can

always add multiple listings and

multiple types of digital products to

your shop to continue compounding the

growth over
