Day 1 – Choose Your Topic & Audience

The most successful products solve a specific problem for a specific audience.

Think about what you’re good at or passionate about
Research what your ideal audience struggles with
Look for trending topics with proven demand

Examples:

Ebooks (guides, how-to manuals, recipes)
Templates (social media posts, planners, spreadsheets)
Online mini-courses

Day 2 – Validate Your Idea

Before you start creating, make sure people actually want it.

Use Google Trends to see if your topic is growing
Search keywords on Pinterest and TikTok
Ask your audience directly in polls or stories

Validation saves time and ensures your product will sell.

Day 3 – Outline Your Product

Create a simple structure for your content.

Break it down into steps or chapters
List the key points you want to cover
Decide on the format (PDF, video, audio, etc.)

Tools: Google Docs, Notion, Trello

Day 4 – Create the Content

Focus on delivering value, not perfection.

Write your ebook or record your videos
Use AI tools like ChatGPT to brainstorm ideas, write drafts, or create examples
Keep it simple — done is better than perfect

Day 5 – Design Your Product

Presentation matters. Even the best content can be overlooked if it looks amateur.

Use Canva to design your ebook, template, or slides
Create mockups so people can “see” what they’re getting
Keep your brand colors and fonts consistent

Day 6 – Set Up Delivery & Payment

Choose a platform that makes it easy for customers to buy and receive your product automatically:

Systeme.io – great for beginners (sales pages, checkout, and delivery in one)
Gumroad
Shopify (for digital products)

Set up your payment method (Stripe, PayPal) and connect it to your sales page.

Day 7 – Launch & Promote

You don’t need a huge audience to make your first sale — but you do need to put your product in front of people.

Share teasers on Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest
Email your list (even if it’s small)
Offer a launch discount for urgency
Collaborate with other creators in your niche
