Move 3, attach a digital product directly to the article
This is the part almost everyone misses.
The article is NOT the business.
The article is the traffic source
Thatโs basically it.
Month 1:
Nothing happens
Month 2:
1 article ranks
Month 3:
A few sales start coming in ๐
Everybody on twitter is trying to become a โcreatorโ on platforms where content dies in 6 hours while Google is still sending me buyers from Medium articles I wrote 11 months ago...
This is the most underpriced SEO distribution channel on the internet right now...
The asymmetry is ridiculous.
Move 1, pick โbuyer intentโ keywords FIRST
You want keywords where somebody is actively trying to solve a problem.
These are SEARCHES. Not content ideas.
Move 2, create the article around SEO structure...
Selling digital products isnโt about getting rich quickly.
Itโs about steadily building something useful, creating real value, testing ideas, and sharing what you learn along the way.
Those consistent efforts can compound into a system that generates passive income!
I just crossed $25k in digital product sales ๐
My first breakthrough came when I stopped pushing $5 guides and started bundling them together for $15-20 (increased average order value!)
Last week on Gumroad:
๐ฐ $2,011,243 in sales
๐ 98,171 purchases across 36,217 products
๐ 1,560 first-time sellers
๐ Top creator earned $65,786
Every week, more people decide their work is worth sharing.
6/ the only numbers that matter
100 people who badly need your thing will always beat 10,000 people who might want it
desperate customers pay more, tell their friends, and actually help you get better
they become your marketing
stop building for everyone. build for someone.
5/ how to write your sentence
fill this out:
"i'm building [product] for [specific person] who [specific struggle] because [current solutions] don't [specific gap]."
if you can't say it in one breath, your idea needs work.
