Let’s cut the noise. You don’t need a course, a funnel, or a personal brand to start selling digital products. You need something that solves a boring, repeated problem, and you need to deliver it without customer support. Here are the three easiest products to build, price, and ship in 2026 — based on what actually converts, not on hype.
1. Notion Templates for Ops-Heavy Freelancers
Freelancers and small agencies waste hours every week on client onboarding, project tracking, and invoice reminders. A well-structured Notion template pack that automates those workflows is a product people buy at 2 AM on a Sunday, without asking questions.
Why it’s easy: you already use these systems daily. You’re not inventing a new concept; you’re packaging your own workflow. The build time is 2–3 focused evenings. The market is saturated only if your template is generic — solve a narrow pain like “freelance web designer’s client portal” or “YouTube editor’s deadline tracker,” not “productivity hub.”
How to sell it: Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy handles the payment and delivery. Price between $19 and $39. Write one landing page with three screenshots and a list of what’s inside. No video needed. Your first ten customers can come from a single Reddit comment or a niche Facebook group where people literally ask for “a better way to track clients.”
The catch: you must update the template once per year to match Notion’s UI changes. That’s it.
2. Self-Updating Spreadsheet Packs for E-commerce Sellers
Amazon FBA, Etsy, and Shopify sellers are drowning in manual data entry. They need inventory reorder calculators, profit-and-loss trackers, and ad spend dashboards that link to their raw exports. A Google Sheets pack that plugs into their CSV files and spits out clear decisions is a product they will buy immediately.
Why it’s easy: spreadsheets are not sexy, so competition is thin. You don’t need to code anything. Use built-in formulas, data validation, and a couple of QUERY functions. One good template can be sold to thousands of sellers because their math problem is identical.
How to sell it: list it on Etsy (yes, Etsy works for digital files) and on your own Gumroad. Price between $15 and $29. The key differentiator is “self-updating” — meaning the user pastes new raw data and the dashboard recalculates automatically. Show a 15-second screen recording of that happening on the product page. That’s your entire sales pitch.
The catch: you must handle edge cases in the formulas (e.g., missing SKUs, currency changes). Charge $10 extra for a “custom column mapping” version to cover your time.
3. Prompt Packs for Specific Business Writing Tasks
Generic “ChatGPT prompts” are dead. But prompt packs that generate a specific, useable output for a niche job — like “write a 30-day email sequence for a small law firm,” or “turn a YouTube transcript into a LinkedIn carousel + tweet thread” — are still selling in 2026. The reason is simple: people don’t want to learn prompting. They want the output.
Why it’s easy: you write ten to fifteen prompts, each with placeholders for the user’s data. You test them, refine them, and package them as a PDF or a Notion page. The total effort is one weekend. You do not need to be an AI expert — you need to be a decent writer who knows the business task well.
How to sell it: sell on Gumroad or via a simple Carrd page. Price between $9 and $19. The conversion rate is higher if you include three “before and after” examples inside the pack, so buyers see exactly what they’ll get. Cold email solo marketers and small agency owners are your buyers.
The catch: prompt quality decays as models update. You need to re-test your prompts every three months. But the fix is usually a few wording tweaks, and you can offer free lifetime updates to buyers to keep reviews high.
A Few Honest Notes on Selling These
All three products have one thing in common: they reduce a buyer’s wasted time, not their learning curve. That’s why they sell without a big audience.
Don’t overthink distribution. Start with one post in a niche community where your exact buyer hangs out. Offer a 50% launch discount for the first week in exchange for honest feedback. Then use that feedback to fix the two or three rough edges.
Avoid the trap of building a “brand.” You don’t need a newsletter, a Twitter following, or a YouTube channel to sell a spreadsheet template. You need a product page that answers three questions: what does it do, who is it for, and why is it worth $20. That’s it.
The real work is not the product. It’s the first five sales. After that, the templates sell themselves while you sleep — which is the whole point.
