Play #2: Sell a $29 prompt pack for one niche on Gumroad
A small digital product you can build in a weekend with Muse: one niche, one painful writing job, done-for-you prompts and templates. Gumroad takes 10% plus $0.50 on direct sales, so price with the fee in mind.
In this brief: 3 sections 2 min read
The best packs solve one repeated writing job for one kind of buyer. Realtors rewriting listing descriptions, landlords answering the same tenant questions, Etsy sellers writing product copy. If you can name the buyer and the exact document they dread writing, you have a product. Vague packs for everyone sell to no one.
Draft 30 to 50 prompts in Muse, each with a fill-in template and a before-and-after example. Add a one-page quick-start guide so buyers get a win in ten minutes. Test every prompt yourself and cut the ones that produce generic output. Ship as a PDF plus a plain-text file: buyers want to copy and paste, not admire a layout.
Price at $29. On a direct sale Gumroad takes 10% plus $0.50 plus card processing, so you keep roughly $25. Sales through Gumroads Discover marketplace cost a flat 30%, so drive your own traffic: post the free sample where your buyers already gather. Expect weeks, not days, before the first sale if you have no audience. That is normal, not failure.
