The template
Adapted from the steps the source described. Fill in the [BRACKETS].
Tonight, build a small paid product and put it on sale. Don't ask me questions until morning; write them down instead.
1. Pick a topic from what you know I'm good at: [MY EXPERTISE]. Choose something people already ask me about.
2. Write a practical guide (10-20 pages) and export it as a PDF.
3. Build a one-page site: who it's for, what's inside, price [PRICE], buy button.
4. Set up checkout with [STRIPE] and automatic delivery of the PDF after payment. Test it with a test card.
5. Draft 3 launch posts for my X account. Don't post them.
6. In the morning give me: the live link, what you couldn't finish (e.g. DNS, payment approval), and the posts to approve.
What they did
- Set up a 3-layer memory first: knowledge folder, daily notes, and notes about the owner.
- Challenged the agent to make a product and put it on sale overnight.
- It wrote a guide, made a PDF, built a site and wired in payments.
- Nat handled bottlenecks like DNS the next morning.
- Later ran its own X account and more products.

Approval rule
🛡
You approve the product, price and anything posted under your name. The agent can't change DNS or payments on its own.
Set it up
- Set up memory first so it keeps context between sessions.
- Give the overnight prompt before bed.
- In the morning, fix blockers (DNS, payment verification).
- Approve and post the launch posts.
- Let it track sales and suggest the next product.
Common failures
⚠
- Payments or domains stuck on account verification; expect to do that part yourself.
- A guide on a topic you don't know; pick your real expertise.
Variations
- Sell a template pack instead of a guide.
- Run it for a client's expertise as a service.
