One of 6 gigs covered in this video
What It Is
You write a short, focused guide that solves one pressing problem, titled specifically, for example 'How to sleep train your baby' or 'The busy parent's 15-minute routine', and sell it for about $7-15 on Etsy, Stan Store, Systeme.io or Gumroad. The ChatGPT prompt structures it as an introduction acknowledging the reader's frustration, seven steps with examples, mistakes and quick wins, three case studies, a troubleshooting section and a customizable action plan. Later you can turn it into a short course with tools like HeyGen or bundle several ebooks.
The Pitch
The creator shows a nursing-school study bundle on Etsy she says earned over $1 million at more than $75, arguing that stressed people pay well for compact, actionable answers. She says ebooks can become the entry point to a larger product funnel.
Who It’s Best For
People with real experience solving a specific problem who can write clearly and bring their own traffic outside Etsy.
The Truth (as we see it)
Specific, problem-solving guides can sell, but an AI-written ebook with no real expertise behind it is easy to spot and gets refunds or bad reviews. The $1 million nursing example is specialized expert content, and the creator herself says most ebooks sell for far less. Outside Etsy you must find buyers yourself, usually through social media. The creator offers the prompts free in the video description and does not pitch a paid product in this video.
