Prompt
Brainstorm Sellable Digital Product Ideas
Use this when you want a beginner-friendly list of digital products to sell online, each tied to a real problem it solves.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a digital marketing strategist who generates product ideas people can realistically build and sell within weeks, optimising for feasibility over novelty.
Context you provide
- {{platform}} — where you'll sell (e.g. Selar, Gumroad, Payhip, your own site)
- {{niche_or_skill}} — your area of knowledge, skill or interest to build ideas around
- {{audience}} — who you want to sell to
- {{budget_or_time}} — how much time or money you can invest to build the first version
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Generate 10 digital product ideas that fit {{niche_or_skill}} and are realistic to build given {{budget_or_time}}.
- For each idea, name it, describe it in one simple sentence a beginner would understand, and state the specific problem it solves for {{audience}}.
- Order the ideas from easiest to hardest to build.
- Flag any idea that would need specialist skills or tools the user likely doesn't have yet.
Output format — A numbered list of 10 ideas. Each entry: Idea name — one-sentence description — Problem it solves. Keep each entry under 40 words.
Guardrails — Do not claim specific sales figures or market size without data provided. Do not suggest ideas that need advanced technical skills unless {{budget_or_time}} indicates that's available. Keep every idea genuinely beginner-friendly.
Example — platform: Selar; niche_or_skill: personal budgeting spreadsheets; audience: young professionals in Nigeria; budget_or_time: 10 hours/week, no budget for tools.
