Understand it, apply it, replicate and prosper.
I’m not a marketer. I’m not a coder. I’m a sleep-deprived parent who scribbles ideas into my phone between dinner, daycare pickups, and the endless laundry cycle.
Two months ago I tried an experiment: I used 15 focused ChatGPT prompts to build a complete digital product (content, delivery, sales copy, even upsell ideas). Then I launched it into a tiny funnel I built on Systeme.io. The result: just over $4,000 in revenue from that funnel in a few weeks.
This article walks you through the whole thing — the 15 digital product ideas (and the prompts I used), how I assembled the product, how the funnel worked, and why Systeme.io made the entire thing painless. If you want to copy the playbook, you’ll find everything you need.
Why I Tried This (And Why It Worked)
I’d wasted time chasing the shiny — long courses, “perfect” branding, ad strategies that drained money. I needed something fast, repeatable, and low-cost. ChatGPT (used correctly) removed the blank-page paralysis. Systeme.io removed the tech juggling.
Together they let me:
- move from idea → product → sales in days (not months),
- keep the workflow lean (no dev, no designers), and
- focus on conversion and iteration.
But let’s get practical. Below are the 15 digital product ideas I built or prepped using prompts — each paired with the exact ChatGPT prompt structure I used so you can reuse them.
The Digital Products I Created (And The Prompts I Used)
Note: Each product below includes a one-line description and the exact prompt I fed ChatGPT. Edit the niche and the specifics, then run it.
- Mini Guide (One-Page Cheat Sheet) — Quick step-by-step checklist people can implement in 20 minutes.
Prompt: “Create a one-page cheat sheet with 6 steps for [niche problem]. Keep bullets actionable and include a short headline.” - Email Welcome Sequence (5 Emails) — A short nurture sequence that converts readers into buyers.
Prompt: “Write a 5-email welcome sequence for new subscribers who downloaded [lead magnet]. Email 1: deliver. Email 5: soft pitch for [affiliate/product].” - Mini Video Workshop (20–30 Minutes) — Screen-recorded walkthrough with timestamps and slide outline.
Prompt: “Outline a 25-minute workshop on [topic] with 4 sections, timestamps, and 5 slide titles.” - Template Pack (Fill-In Templates) — Notion/Google Doc templates your buyer can plug into their work.
Prompt: “Create 3 editable templates for [task] with fill-in-the-blank sections and examples.” - Swipe File (Copy Swipe Pack) — Ready-to-use email/social templates.
Prompt: “Write 10 high-converting email subject lines and 5 short email bodies for promoting [offer].” - Mini Course (3 Lessons) — Short modules with exercises and an outcome.

Prompt: “Write a daily 10-step checklist for [task] that a beginner can follow in 15 minutes.” - Resource Library (Curated Links + Tools) — “Everything I use” list with short reviews.
Prompt: “Create a resource list of 12 tools for [niche], include 1-line benefit and cost bracket each.” - Printable Worksheets — Guided worksheets for reflection or action.
Prompt: “Design a 1-page worksheet that helps users map [goal -> obstacles -> quick wins] with fill-in prompts.” - Mini Audiobook / MP3 Guide — Short spoken guide for auditory learners.
Prompt: “Write a 1,500-word script for a 10-minute audio guide that teaches [result], with intro, 3 steps, and closing CTA.” - Micro-Consult (Digital Assessment) — A PDF assessment buyers fill and get feedback on.
Prompt: “Create a 10-question assessment for [skill] with scoring and a one-paragraph interpretation for each band.” - Swipe-To-Post Social Pack — 30 social post ideas and captions for a month.
Prompt: “Generate 30 social post prompts and short captions for [niche], vary formats (tips, story, question).” - Lead Magnet Bundle — Combine 2–3 small pieces as a higher-value freebie.
Prompt: “Bundle a cheat sheet, 3-email mini sequence, and 1 template into a ‘starter kit’ and write the download page copy.” - Affiliate Toolkit — A ready-to-send email + landing page + bonus package to promote an affiliate offer.
Prompt: “Create an affiliate toolkit for [product], including 3 email templates, 1 bonus idea buyers want, and a short landing page headline + bullets.”
How I Turned Those Pieces Into One Sellable Product
I didn’t publish 15 separate things. Instead, I combined several small assets into a single product pack that delivered immediate practical value (mini workshop + templates + swipe pack + 5-email follow-up). Why? Because people buy outcomes: “I want X done”, not “I want 15 files.”
The steps:
- Pick One Promised Outcome — e.g., “Get your first client outreach sequence that converts.”
- Assemble 3 Core Deliverables — workshop (video), 3 templates, 5-email swipe pack.
- Polish & Brand — quick Canva cover, short PDF, and a Notion folder for templates.
- Price — I tested $27, $47, and ended up at $37 for launch.
- Create an Order Bump — extra templates + live Q&A access for $17 at checkout.
All writing, outlines, and the first-draft slides came from those ChatGPT prompts. I edited them, added one or two personal examples, and recorded the workshop in my living room with a cheap mic.
Building The Funnel On Systeme.io — Step By Step
Systeme.io handled everything: landing page, checkout, order bump, delivery, and email automation. Here’s the funnel I created:
- Landing Page (Lead Or Direct Sales)
- Headline: “Get Client-Ready Outreach Templates — Implement In One Afternoon”
- Bullets: tangible outcomes, what’s included, guarantee (simple refund policy).
- CTA: “Buy Now $37” or “Get The Free Starter (email opt-in)”.
2. Checkout Page With Order Bump
- Order bump: “Extra swipe templates + calendar booking” for $17 (checkbox).
- Systeme.io’s built-in checkout made taxes, payments, and card saves simple.
3. Thank You + One-Click Upsell
- Upsell offer: a bundled advanced template pack + recorded walkthrough for $97 (one-click).
- Systeme.io executes one-click upsells cleanly — no re-entering card details.
4. Email Deliverability & Drip
- Delivery email: immediate access link.
- 5-email onboarding: value → proof → soft pitch for upsell → FAQ → final nudge. (All drafted with ChatGPT then humanized.)
5. Analytics & Optimization
- Open rates, attach rates for bumps, upsell conversion tracked in Systeme.io.
- I iterated subject lines and CTA wording; a small tweak lifted cart conversions noticeably.
Why Systeme.io? Because it removes the “glue” problem: one platform, low cost, and everything integrated. For a one-person launch, that reliability mattered more than fancy tech.
The Numbers (Realistic, Not Hype)
I want to be transparent: this wasn’t viral scale. It was a targeted sequence with real people who needed the product.
- Launch traffic: ~850 visitors (email list, niche posts, a small ad test)
- Conversion rate (sales page): ~4%
- Order bump attach rate: ~28%
- Upsell acceptance: ~15%
- Gross revenue: $4,100+ in the first 3 weeks (product sales + bumps + upsells)
Those numbers came from one focused funnel and continuous small optimizations. They weren’t magic. They were consistent, targeted actions.
The Human Side: Why This Felt Different
This whole process mattered because it didn’t ask me to be someone I wasn’t. I could show up honestly, use tools to amplify my work, and still sleep at night.
A few honest confessions:
- I edited every AI draft to add my voice — that’s the conversion secret.
- I answered first customer messages personally; that tiny touch became repeat customers and word-of-mouth.
- I celebrated small wins — my partner and I went out to dinner after the first $1k month. It felt normal and huge at the same time.
How You Can Start This Weekend (Short Checklist)
- Pick a narrow outcome you can deliver in one afternoon.
- Run 3–5 of the prompts above, edit for your voice.
- Bundle into a simple product: video + templates + swipe pack.
- Build one sales page and checkout on Systeme.io (free plan is fine to start, but I recommend making a small investment).
- Seed to 200–1,000 targeted people (email, forums, micro-ads).
- Measure: tweak subject lines and checkout copy until conversion increases.
Why You Should Try Systeme.io Right Now
Systeme.io was the quiet MVP of this project. It let me:
- launch quickly without a tech team,
- run order bumps and one-click upsells cleanly, and
- automate deliveries and follow-ups so I didn’t need to babysit sales.
If you’re serious about testing digital products fast — especially if you want a low-cost, low-friction setup — Systeme.io is where you start. It removes the messy integrations and lets you focus on product-market fit.
(Short transparency: I use it and recommend it because it saves time and stress — not because it’s a miracle. The work still matters.)
Final Thought
Using 15 smart prompts and one simple funnel I built on Systeme.io, I took an idea from “what if” to $4,000+ of real revenue. The numbers are just numbers — what mattered more was the momentum and the confidence it bought me. I can test, iterate, and actually build something that pays the bills.
If you’re juggling life and wanting a practical, low-tech way to test online offers, this is a path that works. Use the prompts, build the product, and let Systeme.io handle the hard part of selling it.
