🔥 FRESH IDEA

One Reddit creator sold $14,016 worth of ChatGPT prompt bundles in six months by packaging prompts as a real product instead of random “prompt dumps.”

It’s all documented in this case study, including the revenue figure and their roadmap to $14k. But here’s the part most people miss: the product isn’t the prompts. It’s the outcome.

“10,000 prompts” is noise. “Prompts that write your client proposal in 3 minutes” is value.

And it’s not a one-off story. Another creator documented making $1,200 in the first 30 days from an AI prompt pack launch, even without a big audience.

What the $14K case study did right (and you should steal):

Instead of “AI prompts,” think “job-to-be-done”:

You can sell these on marketplaces, or directly via Gumroad-style delivery. Here’s another example where a creator bundled his packs and drove sales past $10K.

Next step: Take one annoying task you do weekly and productize it into a 10-template kit. Sell it for $19. If people buy, bundle it into a $79 system.

🗳 SHIP IT

The most impressive “service business” wins right now look like SaaS, because the offer is fixed and the price is fixed.

Brett Williams did this with DesignJoy, a design subscription business that people describe as a one-person agency at scale. Multiple revenue trackers put DesignJoy around $145K monthly recurring revenue, turning what looks like “freelance design” into a predictable product.

The mechanism is packaging. Clients aren’t buying “design work.” They’re buying speed, consistency, and a simple queue. One request at a time. Short turnaround. Flat monthly fee. No quoting, no proposals, no “scope creep negotiations.”

The bigger secret is operational: productized services work when the work is repeatable and the workflow is tight. Williams isn’t doing random projects. He’s doing the same types of deliverables over and over, faster each time.

This is why productized services scale better than custom consulting. They reduce the number of decisions you make per customer. Less decision fatigue, more delivery.

🧠 WORTH WATCHING

The email apocalypse isn’t coming. It already happened.

Google now requires strong authentication for senders, and for bulk senders the bar is higher: you need SPF, DKIM, and DMARC set up correctly or Gmail can treat your mail as suspicious. Yahoo mirrors the same direction, and their sender rules explicitly call out keeping spam rates low, including guidance like staying under 0.3% in complaint thresholds.

The “why” is simple: inbox providers are tired of being abused. If your domain can’t prove it’s legitimate, you get grouped with spammers by default. This is less about newsletter quality and more about technical trust signals.

The scary part is how invisible it is. Your open rate drops. Your clicks dip. You assume “content is stale.” But your mail is just landing in Promotions or Spam.

The move is boring but urgent: verify your authentication today, not later. Most ESPs make it click-button simple, but older setups, custom domains, or old DNS records still break things.

If you care about a list you’ve built for years, spend the hour. Inbox access is the asset. (Guides: Google sender guidelines, Google bulk sender FAQ, Yahoo sender best practices, DMARCian breakdown)

✨ WISDOM DROP

Dropbox didn’t “perfect” their way to product-market fit. They tested demand before they had a finished product.

The now-famous story: Dropbox’s beta waitlist went from 5,000 to 75,000 overnight after a simple explainer video showed the concept. That spike wasn’t luck. It was a signal. It told them the pain was real and the solution was wanted.

This is why the first 100 customers matter more than the next 10,000. Early customers don’t just buy, they reveal what’s broken, what’s confusing, and what they actually value. You can’t brainstorm that in isolation.

Paul Graham calls this the phase where you do things that “don’t scale,” because scaling comes after you know what works. In the beginning, you’re not optimizing. You’re learning.

So the hustle move is to stop trying to look legitimate and start trying to get real. Sell a manual version. Do it yourself for five clients. Charge for it. Then turn the repeated pattern into the product.

If you want a practical first step: sell to one person this week. One paying customer beats 100 opinions.
