If you've been spinning your wheels creating products that barely sell, this post is your shortcut. Lisa spent 6 months making 9 different digital products and earned under $300. Then she used one AI prompt—what we call the Product Goldmine Prompt—and did $12,000 in 30 days. This post gives you the exact strategy so you can do it too. The Real Problem Most Creators Miss Most creators choose offers based on gut and passion. Winners pick offers based on buyer psychology—problems people are already paying to solve.

Pick 1–2 ideas that hit Make Money or Save Money (bonus if they also Save Time).

Use templates to speed up creation, then launch with a freebie → tripwire funnel to validate and sell quickly. Why Printables Work Right Now Low lift, high leverage: Customize a Canva template (fonts, colors, logo) and publish—often in under an hour. Evergreen sales: Once published, they can sell on autopilot for months or years. Niche = pricing power: Generic planners might be $3–$7, while niche planners (e.g., Cub Scouts, ADHD students, cosplay) can command $27–$30+. What Sells: Printable Ideas You Can Launch This Week Niche Planners Social media manager planner, homeschool unit planner, event vendor planner, cosplay build planner. (Niche = higher price.) Checklists & Trackers "Publish a blog post" checklist, budget tracker, habit tracker, kids' sports gear checklist. Kids' Activities (Seasonal wins!)

Wall Art Quote prints, nursery sets, bold geometric scripture posters for a younger aesthetic. Pro tip: Mine your top 3 blog posts and create a hyper-relevant printable for each. Ask: "What's the reader's very next step after this post?" Build that as a checklist or mini-planner. Your 60-Minute Launch Plan (Step-by-Step) 00:00–10:00 — Pick the idea Choose a printable tied to one of your highest-traffic posts (or a pain point you solve). 10:00–40:00 — Customize a Template Grab a Canva template (e.g., from Printables and More Club) and make quick edits: brand fonts/colors, logo, page titles, swap graphics. Keep it simple. 40:00–60:00 — Publish with MiloTree (Free) Create a freebie (e.g., Easter scavenger hunt) to collect emails. Add a tripwire on the thank-you page (e.g., full Easter activity pack). MiloTree hosts/delivers both, and your AI-generated sales page is done for you—free plan available. Funnel That Converts: Freebie → Tripwire Lead Magnet (Freebie): One valuable page (checklist, scavenger hunt, mini-planner page). Tripwire (Paid): Right after signup, offer the bigger, done-for-them pack (e.g., 20-page activity bundle or full planner) at a limited-time price. This works because the freebie pre-qualifies intent—buyers already want more of the same. Tools & Tactics That Make It Easy Templates in Canva: Perfect for non-designers; update in minutes. MiloTree Free Plan: Spin up AI-generated sales and opt-in pages Deliver freebies automatically Add social pop-ups to grow followers Set up tripwires without extra tools (all on the free plan) Optional Digital Planning: Many customers still print PDFs, but some use GoodNotes on iPad; simple PDFs work great.

Use a template, ship a freebie today, add a small paid upgrade, and let MiloTree handle the delivery and sales page for you. Rinse and repeat, especially for seasonal content.

If you're tired of chasing one-off ebook/course sales and want income that stacks every month, a low-key membership is the fastest, simplest path—built with tools you already use (Zoom + Facebook/WhatsApp + your email service). In my latest Blogger Genius episode, I break down the exact approach (plus 2 copy-and-paste AI prompts) to design, launch, and grow a membership that compounds without burning you out. Show Notes: MiloTree Free Plan Low-Key Membership Prompt Pack Digital Product Ladder AI Prompt (Free Download) 6 Purchasing Triggers Test Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify TL;DR (Problem → Solution) Problem: One-off product sales force you to keep launching and promoting to make money and for many people that is hard. Solution: A low-key membership: 2 Zoom sessions/month + lightweight community + simple emails. That's it. Recurring payments keep coming in—even when you're not launching. Why "Low-Key Memberships" Win in 2025 Recurring revenue > one-offs: Each new member adds to your baseline. Members stay for community, not modules: Overstuffed content = churn. Connection and momentum = retention. Zero tech headaches: Use platforms people already check daily (FB/WhatsApp) and Zoom they already know. Real-world results shared in the episode: Weight-loss creator: $300/mo → $2,800/mo with Zoom + private FB group. Anxiety coach: $4,100/mo with WhatsApp + biweekly calls. Your Starter Stack (Keep It Simple) Delivery: 2 Zoom sessions/month (Teaching + Q&A). Community: Facebook Group or WhatsApp for quick wins + peer support. Communication: Your existing email service provider (Mailchimp, MailerLite, Flodesk, ConvertKit). Payments & pages: MiloTree—AI sales pages, Stripe checkout, recurring billing. Start free to grow your list; upgrade when you're ready to accept membership payments. 7-Day Launch Plan (No Pre-Recorded Library) Day 1: Pick your promise (one painful problem you'll help members solve monthly). Day 2: Post your interest waitlist with a freebie (see below). Day 3: Price: $27–$97/mo. Add a 10× annual option (e.g., $47/mo or $470/yr). Day 4: Create an outline for your first month's sessions. Day 5: Open your MiloTree membership (AI sales page + Stripe billing). Day 6: DM warm leads (from FB groups/WhatsApp/LinkedIn) with your waitlist link. Day 7: Host a founders' kickoff (set expectations, celebrate early wins). Pro tip: Build with your members. Teach what they ask for next. That "fluid plan" keeps content laser-relevant and retention high. Copy-and-Paste AI Prompts (Use These to Build It Fast) Prompt #1 — Design your membership "Design a low-key membership for my expertise in [YOUR NICHE]. I want something simple that builds community using free platforms people already know. First, validate my niche using these six purchasing triggers: makes money, saves money, saves time, moves toward happiness, moves away from pain, raises social status (explain which apply). Then create a concept that: meets twice monthly (1 teaching call, 1 Q&A via Zoom); uses Facebook Groups/Discord/WhatsApp for interaction; uses email for schedules/recordings/updates; focuses on implementation (not info overload); builds naturally without tons of pre-created content; develops a supportive community; and is priced $27–$97/mo. Finally, give me the name, core promise, monthly structure, and an engagement + referral strategy." Prompt #2 — Find your first members "I'm launching the [MEMBERSHIP NAME] from the previous prompt. Give me the 10 best places to attract ideal members with specific strategies. Include communities, social platforms, networking, and partnerships. For each, show how to introduce my offer naturally (not salesy), what value to lead with, and how to start DMs that convert. Also give me 5 content ideas that demonstrate expertise and nudge people toward ongoing support." Pricing & Positioning (Simple Rules) Start $27–$97/mo; add a 10× annual plan to boost cash flow and commitment. Promise one result per month (not a giant library). Sell outcomes: "From stuck to consistent posting," "From chaos to meal-prep routine," "From anxiety spiral to daily calm." Retention Playbook (Why Members Stay) Two predictable touchpoints (Teaching + Q&A). Community micro-wins (weekly check-ins, share wins, peer feedback). Fluid curriculum (teach what members ask for next). Use MiloTree to Power It (Free → Paid, Without Friction) Start free: Use MiloTree Free Plan to build your list fast—create an AI-generated opt-in page for your freebie, store the file, and deliver it automatically.

Watch on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/j4eaNgNz3yw?si=7is17YCNNiMMx2Mw If you've created a guide, checklist, or mini-course—but you're not promoting it because you're thinking "Who am I to sell this?"—you're not alone. The real blocker usually isn't your product; it's confidence and not knowing what to say or where to say it. In this post, I'll show you two quick AI prompts that flip that script and give you the exact words and plan to promote—plus how to publish a ready-to-buy sales page with MiloTree's Free Plan in minutes (no website needed). Show Notes: MiloTree Confidence and Promotion AI Prompt Pack (Free Download) Digital Product Ladder AI Prompt (Free Download) 6 Purchasing Triggers Test Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify The Real Problem: "Who am I to sell this?" Most creators stall after hitting "publish" because they're afraid to promote. The result? Crickets—not because the product is bad, but because no one heard about it enough times to buy. The fix is a mindset + messaging shift you can trigger with AI in under a minute. The 60-Second Fix: Copy/Paste These 2 Prompts Prompt #1 — Confidence & Language Paste this into your AI tool: Act as my business coach and mindset mentor. I've created a digital product about [TOPIC] but I feel nervous promoting it. Remind me why my experience has value, explain how selling helps people, write me a confident script for talking about my product, and give me 5 places to share it today. Be encouraging but honest. This gives you: a quick reframe, a confidence boost, and a short script you can actually use in DMs, posts, and conversations. Prompt #2 — Distribution Plan (What to Post & Where) I'm ready to promote with confidence. Give me 10 places to share my product today with exact words for each platform (helpful, not salesy). Include social media, email ideas, and networking conversation starters. Also give me a simple 7-day promotion schedule. This turns "random posting" into a repeatable weekly cadence that compounds—how you go from your first $100 to your first $1,000. Make Buying Frictionless: Use MiloTree (Free Plan) Confidence is great—but people still need a place to buy. Here's the fast path with MiloTree: Set up your product in MiloTree → choose Digital Download. Name, price, and upload your PDF or file (e.g., "Time Management for Busy Moms" at $27).

If your traffic fell off a cliff after recent Google updates and AI answers, you're not alone—especially if you're a recipe, YMYL (Your Money or Your Life), or niche blogger who used to win with long posts and ads. But SEO isn't dead—it's evolved. In my latest Blogger Genius Podcast episode, I'm talk to SEO strategist, Steven Schneider, who breaks down exactly how creators can still win in 2025: build visible authority, earn strategic backlinks, improve UX, and shift revenue toward newsletters and products. Show Notes: MiloTree Free Plan Steven Schneider 6 Purchasing Triggers Test Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify The Problem Creators Are Facing in 2025 AI is answering queries and compressing clicks—brutal for "quick-answer" niches like recipes. Google is rewarding authority (E-E-A-T) and punishing thin UX (endless scroll, intrusive ads, fluff). Old playbooks (publish more posts, stuff in keywords, hope for ad RPM) don't move the needle. Solution in a sentence: Treat search like a brand + authority channel, not a traffic lottery. Build proof of expertise on every page, earn real mentions/links, and turn all attention into owned audiences and product revenue. What's Working Now (According to Steven) 1) Authority > everything Add clear E-E-A-T signals on every post and key page (not just your About page): Real author byline + headshot 2–3 credential links (culinary school, certifications, LinkedIn) Awards/press mentions (linked) Concise author bio block on each post This helps Google and readers trust that a human expert wrote it. 2) Backlinks with intent (no spray-and-pray) Guest on podcasts (links in show notes = high-quality, relevant). Offer expert quotes to other bloggers/journalists; pitch quick 2–3 sentence tips they can drop in with a link. Vary anchor text (brand, URL, topical phrases) and use reciprocal links sparingly. Paying for "time" vs "links" is a gray area—be selective and ethical. 3) UX that respects the reader Stop the 4,000-word detours; give the answer fast and add optional depth. Keep one H1 per page, logical H2/H3s, strong internal linking, and basic schema hygiene. Recipes/how-to: lead with the steps; put the story below. 4) BOFU content (not just top-of-funnel) Steven's agency prioritizes bottom-of-funnel, high-intent topics that convert to leads or sales—because SEO must tie to revenue. 5) Newsletter > ad RPM Clicks are down, but email still converts. Build a free newsletter, nurture weekly, and sell your own offers (ebooks, mini-courses, templates, memberships). 7-Step Action Plan (Do this in the next 14 days) Add E-E-A-T blocks site-wide Byline, headshot, 2–3 credential links, "Reviewed by" where relevant. Fix on-page structure One H1, clean headings, scannable sections, strong internal links among related posts. Create one "wow" asset (lead magnet or calculator) Examples: Gluten-free flour swap chart (instant, high-value) Meal-prep planner (fillable PDF) ROI/Cost calculator (tools get links + emails) Pitch 10 podcasts in your niche Offer 3 topic angles, a short bio, and a value-packed outline; request a site link in show notes. Run a "quote outreach" sprint Identify 25 relevant posts; email the author a ready-to-paste 2–3 sentence expert tip + your preferred link target (vary anchors). Publish 3 BOFU posts Bottom-of-funnel queries aligned to your product (e.g., "Meal-prep templates," "Gluten-free baking guide PDF," "One-hour blogging audit"). Launch or revive your newsletter Weekly format: 1 tip, 1 tool, 1 template. Soft-pitch your product/freebie in each send. Make This Easy (and Free) with MiloTree With the MiloTree Free Plan, you can: Sell one digital product (ebook, template, workshop replay) Offer a freebie/lead magnet with automatic delivery Add a social pop-up to grow followers while you sleep Spin up AI-generated pages (sales + opt-in) in minutes 👉 Start free: set up your product or freebie and start collecting subscribers + sales today. (No tech headaches, no credit card required.) FAQ (Quick Answers) Is there a way to "write for AI" specifically? Not really. Write for humans with clear structure, show expertise, and earn authority; that is what LLMs and Google both surface. Should I pay for links? It's a gray area; focus on earning links via value (podcasts, tools, quotes). If compensation is about someone's time to implement, be selective and ethical. What on-page items still matter? Single H1, logical headings, internal links, page speed, helpful schema. Meta descriptions are less critical but still fine to include. Your Next 2 Moves (Start Today) Spin up a freebie in MiloTree (cheat sheet, planner, or calculator) and add it site-wide. Pitch one podcast + send one expert quote email before you log off today.

If you're a coach, blogger, or online entrepreneur struggling to make consistent income from your digital products, you're not alone. Most creators try to sell one digital product and fail because they're missing a crucial piece of the puzzle: a systematic approach that transforms low-paying customers into high-value clients. In my latest episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I revealed the exact AI-powered system that successful creators use to build $10,000+ monthly businesses. This isn't theory—it's the proven strategy that MiloTree users like Sarah have used to grow from 200 email subscribers to $11,000 monthly revenue in just six months. In this post, we'll unpack how to create a digital product ladder, use AI to build your entire system, and leverage MiloTree to handle all the tech without the headache.

Before you create anything, your digital product idea must pass what I call the "Purchasing Triggers Test." Your product needs to do at least two of these six things: Make someone money Save them money Save them time Move them toward happiness Move them away from pain Raise their social status If your idea doesn't hit at least two triggers, don't build it. You'll waste months creating something nobody wants to buy. Let's test this with a real example: "Time Management for Busy Moms" ✅ Save them time? Absolutely ✅ Move them toward happiness? Yes (less stress, more family time) ✅ Move them away from pain? Yes (overwhelm and guilt) This passes with flying colors because it hits three triggers. The Digital Product Ladder System That Creates $10K Months Here's what successful creators understand that others don't: instead of selling one product, they build a digital product ladder. This system starts with a free valuable resource and guides customers through increasingly valuable solutions at higher price points. The magic happens when someone who downloads your free guide eventually becomes a $2,000 mastermind member. That's how you reach $10,000 monthly revenue—not by selling a million $10 products. The 6-Step Digital Product Ladder Framework Step 1: Free Valuable Resource (Freebie) Solves one specific problem Delivers a quick, tangible win Gets people on your email list Step 2: Tripwire Product ($7-$27) Small purchase on your thank-you page Naturally follows from the freebie Turns subscribers into buyers Step 3: Product Bundle ($47-$97) Combines multiple resources Provides comprehensive results Higher perceived value Step 4: Mini Course or Coaching Package ($197-$497) Structured learning experience Leads customers toward membership More hands-on support Step 5: Monthly Membership ($27-$97/month) Ongoing support and community Recurring revenue stream Builds long-term relationships Step 6: Premium Mastermind ($997-$2,997) High-touch program For serious implementers Your highest revenue generator The AI Prompt That Builds Your Entire Business Model in 30 Seconds Here's the game-changing AI prompt that creates your complete digital product ladder system. Simply go to ChatGPT (the free version works fine) and enter this prompt with your specific details: "I want to create a complete digital product ladder for [YOUR NICHE/TOPIC]. Help me design a six-step customer journey that transforms a free subscriber into a high-value customer. Step 1: Create a valuable freebie that solves one specific pain point and delivers a quick, tangible win. Step 2: Design a tripwire product that's something small I can sell on the thank-you page after someone joins my list. This product should naturally follow from the freebie and provide deeper value. Step 3: Develop a product bundle that combines multiple resources for comprehensive results. Step 4: Structure a mini course or coaching package that ultimately leads customers into joining my membership. Step 5: Design a monthly membership that provides ongoing support and community. Step 6: Create a premium mastermind or high-touch program for serious implementers. For each step, provide the product concept, main benefits, suggested price, and how it connects to the next level."   How MiloTree Eliminates the Tech Overwhelm The biggest obstacle most creators face isn't knowing what to create—it's the technical setup.

If you sell digital products, you've probably asked: "How do I increase revenue without adding more work?" Good news—there's a simple, ethical, customer‑friendly tactic that top creators use every day: Order bumps. In this post, I'll show you what an order bump is, why it reliably grows your average order value (AOV), real examples that convert, and a copy‑paste prompt to brainstorm your own in minutes. I'll also share how to set this up with MiloTree (including what you can do on the Free Plan), so you can start today. What's an Order Bump? Think "add fries to your burger." An order bump is a small, complementary offer shown right on the checkout page—purchased with a single checkbox click. Why it works Zero extra friction: Buyer is already in buying mode. Clear added value: The bump makes the main product easier, faster, or better. Low price point: Sweet spot is usually $5–$15. With MiloTree, the bump appears as a simple checkbox on your Stripe checkout. Your customer selects it, and boom—both items are purchased in one click. No extra pages. No confusion. Real creators using MiloTree report 30–40%+ of buyers taking the bump—turning a $27 sale into $33–$38 in seconds.

I want to sell one main product and one smaller related product as an order bump. My niche is: [insert niche] My audience's biggest problem is: [insert problem] Give me 5 ideas for the main product and, for each one, a smaller related digital product that can be offered as an order bump. In minutes, you'll have pairs you can sell individually and together. Pro tip: If your solution is good, people don't care about fancy design. You can draft the whole bump in a simple Google Doc. Pricing & Positioning: Quick Guidelines Keep it bite‑sized: A quick win your buyer can use today. Price for impulse: Aim for $5–$15. Complete the win: Ask, "What would make the main product easier/faster?" That's your bump. Step‑by‑Step: Set It Up in MiloTree Create your main product (Google Doc → PDF works great). Create your bump product (short checklist, template pack, scripts, flashcards, etc.). Connect Stripe in MiloTree. Add the order bump to the main product's checkout (it appears as a checkbox). Test your flow and publish. What can you do on the MiloTree Free Plan? Sell 1 product for free and offer 1 freebie to grow your list. Perfect for getting your first product live fast and validating demand. Note: Because an order bump sells a second product, bumps require a paid MiloTree plan. Plans start affordably, and many creators earn back the cost (and more) just from the bump uplift. When you're ready to add bumps (and unlimited products), upgrade and flip the switch. When Not to Use a Bump If it's unrelated or bloats the purchase. If the price is too high for an impulse add‑on. If it introduces new tools/tech that slow the buyer down. Keep it tight, relevant, and helpful. Final Thought Order bumps turn the sale you're already making into a bigger win for your customer and more revenue for you—without more content, hustle, or tech. What's your main + bump combo? Drop it in the comments and I'll help you refine it. Want help getting this live—fast? Spin up your first product + one freebie on the MiloTree Free Plan today. When you're ready to add the order bump checkbox, upgrade and watch your AOV climb.
