 Make sure your products are ready-to-download files (PDFs, PNGs, Canva
templates, eBooks, etc.).
 Keep file sizes reasonable (<100 MB ideally).

Step 3: Add Products to Super profile.

1. Create a new link/card for each product.


2. Add:
o Title – clear and benefit-oriented
o Short description – 2–3 lines
o Thumbnail image – visually appealing
o Price – start low if testing demand.

Step 4: Set Up Payment Links (Free Options)

 Razor pay (India)


o Free to sign up
o Generate a payment link for each product.
o Add the Razor pay link to your Super profile product card.

Step 5: Deliver Products Automatically

payment confirmation page.
 If using Gumroad, product delivery is automatic (see below).

Step 6: Promote Your Superprofile

 Add your Superprofile link to Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn.


 Share sample content to attract clicks.

🧩 Step-by-Step Module: Email Automation with YAMM


Step 1: Prepare Your Google Sheet

1. Open Google Sheets.


2. Create a new sheet with these columns (headers in first row):
3. First Name | Last Name | Email | Product | Download Link | Status
4. Add your buyer info here as payments come in:
o First Name / Last Name → from Razorpay/Stripe dashboard
o Email → collected from payment
o Product → Name of the purchased product
o Download Link → Paste your Google Drive / Dropbox link
o Status → Leave empty for now (we’ll mark “Sent” after sending)

Tip: You can export payment data from Razorpay/Stripe to CSV and paste it here.
Step 2: Install YAMM

1. Go to Google Workspace Marketplace: https://workspace.google.com/marketplace


2. Search “Yet Another Mail Merge” → Click Install → Allow permissions for Gmail
& Google Sheets
3. Once installed, YAMM will appear in your Google Sheets menu: Extensions →
Yet Another Mail Merge

Step 3: Create Your Email Template

1. Open Gmail → Compose new email


2. Use placeholders for personalization, matching your sheet columns:
3. Subject: Your Digital Product is Ready 🎉
4.
5. Hi {{First Name}},
6.
7. Thank you for purchasing {{Product}}!
8.
9. You can download your product here: {{Download Link}}
10.
11. Enjoy your purchase and feel free to reply if you have any
questions.
12.
13. Cheers,
14. [Your Name / Brand]
15. Save as Draft (don’t send yet) → YAMM will use this draft as the template.

Step 4: Configure YAMM to Send Emails

1. Go back to Google Sheet → Extensions → Yet Another Mail Merge → Start


Mail Merge
2. Configure options:
o Sender Name → Your name or brand
o Email Template → Select the Gmail draft you just created
o Track emails → ✅ Optional, track opens/clicks
o Personalize → YAMM automatically replaces placeholders with sheet values
3. Click Send Emails → YAMM will send emails to all rows with an email address.

Step 5: Mark Status / Track Delivery

1. After sending, YAMM updates your sheet automatically if “Status” column exists.
o Example: SENT
2. You can filter rows where Status ≠ SENT → To resend emails to those who didn’t get
them.

Step 6: Optional: Automate Adding New Buyers


Since Razorpay/Stripe payments aren’t automatically synced to Google Sheets for free, you
have 2 options:

A) Manual (Free, simplest for beginners)

 Export new payments daily → copy customer info → paste into Google Sheet → run
YAMM.

B) Semi-Automated (Free with Zapier 100 tasks/month)

 Trigger: New payment in Razorpay/Stripe


 Action: Add row to Google Sheet
 Then YAMM sends automatically (or you manually trigger send daily)

Step 7: Tips for Using YAMM Effectively

 Free Limit: 50 emails/day per Gmail account → suitable for low-volume sales
 Avoid Gmail Spam Filters: Use short, clear subject lines, and keep sending volume
under 50/day for free
 File Security: Share Google Drive “View-only” links in {{Download Link}}
 Follow-up Emails: Add extra rows or new template for “Thank you / bonus” emails

✅ Result:
Once set up, every buyer automatically gets their product download link via Gmail, saving
you manual effort while keeping costs at ₹0.

Our Strategy: We will focus on these low-content niches because the interiors are repetitive
or template-based, and the design is minimal, which is perfect for your situation.

2. Step-by-Step Game Plan (The Zero-Cost Hustle)


Here is your 5-step blueprint to create and publish a best-selling low-content book with no
money and no prior skills.

Step 1: Niche Research (The Gold Mine) - FREE

This is the most important step. Don't skip it.

1. Go to Amazon.com and use the search bar.


2. Search for broad low-content terms (e.g., "journal," "planner," "log book").
3. Use Amazon's Suggestion Dropdown: When you type "gratitude journal," Amazon
suggests longer, more specific terms like "gratitude journal for women 90 days."
These are your sub-niches—the highly specific terms people are actually searching
for.
4. Analyze the Competition (The Secret): Click on a specific sub-niche (e.g., "draw
and write journal for boys"). Look at the results:
o Low Competition: If the search results show less than 1,000 to 5,000 books,
it's a great niche to enter.
o Good Sales Rank: Look for a few books on the first page that have a Best
Sellers Rank (BSR) lower than 250,000 (the lower the number, the better the
sales).
5. Lock it In: Choose one low-competition, high-demand sub-niche. Example: Daily
Stoic Reflections Journal for Entrepreneurs.

Step 2: Interior Creation (No Drafting Needed) - FREE

You need a simple, functional interior.

1. Use Google Docs/Sheets or Canva (Free Version): These are your free tools.
2. Design the Template: For a journal or planner, the interior is just a simple layout.
o Journal Page Example: A line for the date, a box for "Today I am grateful
for," and several lines for open reflection. Make the design professional but
simple.
o Logbook Page Example: Create a table with columns like "Date, Start Time,
End Time, Notes."
3. Duplicate the Pages: Once you have the perfect one-page template, duplicate it 100
or 120 times (a good standard book length).
4. Export as a PDF: KDP requires the interior to be a PDF file. Both Google
Docs/Sheets and Canva can do this for free. Pro Tip: Make sure your document size
is a standard KDP size (e.g., 6x9 inches or 8.5x11 inches) before you start.

Step 3: Cover Design (No Design Skills) - FREE

Your cover is the only thing that makes people click.

1. Use Canva (Free Version): Canva is the influencer’s best friend.


2. Get the KDP Cover Template: Search for a free KDP Cover Template calculator
online. You input your book size and page count, and it gives you a PNG image with
the exact dimensions for the front, spine, and back. Download this template.
3. Design Time:
o Upload the KDP template into Canva.
o Background: Choose a solid, appealing color or a free-to-use background
from Canva's library.
o Text: Use a clear, bold, and professional free font. The Title and Subtitle are
EVERYTHING. Make them match your niche exactly (e.g., Daily Stoic
Reflections Journal for Entrepreneurs).
o Elements: Add one or two simple, free graphics/icons that relate to the niche
(e.g., a simple laurel wreath, a small compass).
o Delete the Template: Before you export, hide or delete the KDP template
layer so you only have your cover design.
4. Export as a PDF: Download the final cover design as a Print PDF file.

Step 4: KDP Publishing (The Launch) - FREE

1. Create a KDP Account: Go to the Amazon KDP website and sign up for free.
2. Start a New Book: Click "Create" and choose Paperback (or Hardcover, but start
with Paperback).
3. Fill in the Details:
o Title/Subtitle: Copy the exact title and subtitle from your cover.
o Author Name (Pen Name): You can use a pen name. Make it match your
niche (e.g., "The Daily Organizer Team").
o Description: Use a free AI tool like ChatGPT (free version) to write a
compelling, keyword-rich description. Prompt it: "Write an exciting Amazon
book description for a 6x9 paperback 'Daily Stoic Reflections Journal for
Entrepreneurs' that targets passive income seekers."
o Keywords: Use the sub-niche keywords you found in Step 1.
o Categories: Choose two specific, narrow categories (not just "Journals").
4. Upload Content: Upload your Cover PDF and your Interior PDF file.
5. Set Price: Check the minimum price KDP allows (based on page count/ink). Set a
competitive price, usually between $5.99 and $7.99 for low-content books to start.
6. Click Publish! Amazon will review your book (usually within 72 hours).
Step 5: Scale and Repeat (True Passive Income)

Your first book is a test. Once it’s approved and selling:

1. Check Your Sales Dashboard: See which keywords brought you sales.
2. Create Variations: Don't stop at one! Use the same interior design but change the
cover color and niche slightly to create a new book. (e.g., Daily Stoic Reflections
Journal for Students).
3. Diversify: Move to another successful low-content niche (planners, logbooks).

This is how you build a passive income stream, one low-content book at a time. It requires
time and research, but zero money and minimal skills.

Now go get it, big shots don't start with a trust fund, they start with a smart plan! You got
this.

Since you have zero money and no design skills, we need products that are high-value, easy
to create, and mostly text-based or template-driven.

The top sellers that fit this description are:

1. Mini-Ebooks / Guides (The Knowledge Product):


o What it is: A short (10-30 page) PDF guide that solves a specific problem.
Think: "The 7-Day Instagram Reel Hook Formula" or "The Ultimate
Freelancer Cold Pitch Template Pack."
o Why it sells: It offers a quick, actionable fix for a pain point your audience
has. People pay for speed and clarity.
o No design required: You'll use free, professionally designed templates to
make it look clean.
2. Canva Template Bundles (The Time-Saver Product):
o What it is: A pack of ready-made, customizable templates for social media
posts, stories, or planners.
o Why it sells: Content creators and small business owners HATE starting from
scratch. They'll pay to save hours of design time.
o No design required: You're customizing existing free templates, not creating
from scratch.
3. Ultimate Checklists/Trackers (The Simplifier Product):
o What it is: A printable or digital checklist, planner, or Google Sheet template.
Think: "The 2025 Budgeting Spreadsheet" or "The Ultimate Content Idea
Checklist."
o Why it sells: It provides structure and organization. People are busy and pay
for simplicity.

I recommend starting with Mini-Ebooks/Guides because they rely purely on your


knowledge, which is your free asset!

Step-by-Step: Create Your Digital Product for Free


You will use two main free tools: ChatGPT for the content and Canva for the clean design.

PHASE 1: Idea & Content (The Blueprint)

Step 1: Find Your Niche (The Problem Solver)

 The Rule: Your product must solve a single, specific problem for a specific group of
people.
 Action: Think about one thing you know better than the average person. (e.g.,
Gaming, Fitness, Skincare, Budgeting, College Applications).
 Example Idea: If you’re good at getting gym motivation, your niche is Fitness
Motivation. Your problem is inconsistency.

Step 2: Outline Your Product with ChatGPT (Your Free Writer)

 Prompt: "I am creating a 20-page mini-ebook for people who struggle with
inconsistent workouts. The title is 'The 30-Day Unstoppable Fitness Starter Guide.'
Create a detailed 5-chapter outline with actionable sub-points for each chapter. The
tone should be motivational and straightforward."
 Action: ChatGPT gives you the structure. Now, expand on each sub-point.
 Prompt: "Expand on Chapter 3: 'Mastering the 5-Minute Morning Routine' and write
the full text for that section. Include three actionable tips and one inspirational quote."
 Action: Repeat this until you have all the text for your guide. DO NOT copy/paste
the final text. Read it, put it in your own words, and add your personal experience to
make it authentic and unique. This makes it your original product.

PHASE 2: Design & Polish (The Free Makeover)

Step 3: Design with Canva (Your Free Designer)

 Action: Go to Canva.com (use the free account).


 Search: In the search bar, type a template like "Ebook template" or "Planner
template."
 Choose: Pick a template that looks clean, professional, and easy to read. Avoid
busy designs.
 Paste: Copy your refined text from Step 2 and paste it into the Canva template pages.
Keep the template's existing layout—just change the text and maybe the color to
match your Instagram vibe.
 Export: When finished, click Share > Download and choose PDF Standard.

PHASE 3: Set Up Passive Sales (The Automation)

Step 4: Create a Free Storefront (The Automated Cashier)

 Action: Sign up for a free platform that handles digital downloads, like Gumroad or
Payhip.
 Upload: Upload your final PDF file.
 Pricing: Start small. A $7 to $19 price point works great for mini-guides.
 Automate: These platforms automatically handle the payment, send the download
link, and deliver the product 24/7. This is your passive income!
Step 5: Sell on Instagram (The Traffic Driver)

 The Key: Instagram is the discovery tool, not the storefront. You need to drive traffic
to your link.
 Action: Get your Gumroad/Payhip link (the one that sells your product) and put it in
your Instagram bio (this is your 'Link in Bio').
 Content Strategy (The 80/20 Rule):
o 80% Value: Create free Reels, posts, and Stories that give mini-lessons from
your guide. (e.g., A Reel about "The #1 Reason Your Workouts Fail" from
your ebook).
o 20% Promotion: In the caption of those value posts, say, "If you need the
full, step-by-step plan, grab my 'The 30-Day Unstoppable Fitness Starter
Guide' using the Link in Bio!"

My Final Advice:

 Consistency is King: The "passive" part comes after you launch. You need to
consistently post content that promotes the solution your product offers.
 Focus on ONE: Don't create 10 products. Create one amazing guide, sell it well, and
then use the passive income it generates to invest in your second product.
 Be the Solution: People don't buy an ebook, they buy a transformation. Focus your
content on the result they will get!
