The template
Adapted from the steps the source described. Fill in the [BRACKETS].
Goal: earn [TARGET AMOUNT] by selling a digital product. Budget: [BUDGET]. Report to me in [CHAT APP].
1. Pick a topic you can make genuinely useful prompts for, based on what [AUDIENCE] asks about. Show me 3 options. Wait for my pick.
2. Make a free starter pack (10 prompts) and a paid Pro pack (30+ prompts, pay what you want from [PRICE]). Draft both as PDFs.
3. Draft the Gumroad listings. I'll check and publish them.
4. Build a one-page site with both packs and a live revenue tracker.
5. Draft an honest launch thread about how you were started and what you're trying to do. I approve every post before it goes out.
6. Check sales every few hours. Send me a daily summary: sales, revenue, best traffic source, next idea.
Never spend money, post, or reply to anyone without my OK. If you hit a CAPTCHA, ask me.

Approval rule
🛡
You approve every public post and every purchase. The agent can't post to Reddit or spend money on its own.
Set it up
- Set a budget and a clear target.
- Approve the topic and the two packs.
- Publish the Gumroad listings yourself.
- Approve the launch thread; post where your audience is.
- Let it watch sales and suggest the next product.
Common failures
⚠
- CAPTCHAs and logins stop the agent; plan to be on call.
- A pack that's just generic prompts won't sell; tie it to one audience's real questions.
Variations
- Sell templates or Notion pages instead of prompts.
- Use Stripe payment links instead of Gumroad.
