Claude-made Problem-solving PDF Guides and Tracker Apps Sold Via Shopify With AI-avatar Videos
Originally published Oct 7, 2026 — Alex
You use a trend research tool (Niche Trend Hunter in the video) to find problems people search for, such as puppies biting or potty-training accidents, and paste its suggested product brief into Claude. Claude produces a PDF guide with printable trackers and a 30-day plan, and can also build a small interactive app, such as a bite-logging tracker, to sell alongside it. You sell the guide for about $19-27 on a Shopify landing page made with an AI store builder, styled like an advertorial. Traffic comes from free short videos featuring realistic AI-generated characters (made in Higgsfield) posted on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, with a link in bio.
The creator opens with $818 in sales by 8:30 in the morning and calls this 'boring but realistic'. He argues there is no ad spend, no coding and no need to show your face, and that solving searched-for problems keeps working regardless of trends.
People who want a low-cost, no-camera digital product business and are willing to post content daily.
The sales screenshot is unverified, and the creator links to the trend tool and a Shopify promotion, so he likely earns from referrals despite saying he is 'selling nothing'. Calling sales 'all profit' ignores tool subscriptions, and AI-written guides need checking for accuracy before you charge for them. Using AI characters who present themselves as real customers who solved the problem can mislead buyers and may break platform rules or advertising rules on endorsements, so disclose AI personas. Organic social traffic takes consistent posting and is not guaranteed.
