Last week I had zero products. Today I have five digital products live on my store at £5-£9 each, and a £35 catalogue that took under 10 hours total to build.
Here is the no-fluff breakdown for anyone who wants to do the same.
The products
All five are PDF guides for faceless YouTube and TikTok creators — a niche I know from running my own channel:
- Faceless Script Swipe File (£9) — 20 proven video scripts with hooks, CTAs, and B-roll cues
- UK Affiliate Marketing Quick-Start Guide (£8) — Amazon Associates setup, product selection, commission maximisation
- 30 Days of Content Ideas Calendar (£6) — Daily topics, hooks, and platform recommendations
- AI Voiceover Setup Guide (£5) — ElevenLabs setup with British English voice tuning
- 50 AI Prompts for Faceless Content (£7) — Prompt pack for ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek
Store: payhip.com/HamdenTwinsDigital
The tools I used
- Writing: ChatGPT Plus + manual editing (AI organises, I write hooks and conclusions)
- Covers: AI-generated via Higgsfield (Nano Banana 2, 2 credits each)
- Platform: Payhip (free to start, 5% transaction fee)
- Content: Markdown files, converted to PDF
Total spent on tools: £0 (used free tiers and existing subscriptions)
The three things that actually mattered
1. Ship before you are ready. My first product went live without a cover image, without a polished description, and without a file attached. I added those later. Every day your product is not live is a day nobody can buy it.
2. Price based on value, not effort. My £5 guide took 2 hours. My £9 guide took 4 hours. The prices reflect what the customer gets, not what I put in. A script swipe file saves a creator 40+ hours of writing — £9 is a steal.
3. Build once, sell indefinitely. These five products will sit on Payhip forever. No inventory, no shipping, no customer support queue. Every sale is pure margin.
What is next
I am documenting the entire journey publicly — revenue numbers, what sells, what does not. If you are building a digital product side hustle (or thinking about it), follow along.
