Journey From $1 Ebook to 4-Figure Income Per Month
Share
In 2025, selling digital products is more accessible than ever—and it doesn’t take a $99 course or a fancy tech stack to get started.
This is the real story of how a simple $1 ebook turned into a consistent 4-figure monthly income—and how you can do the same.
💡 Step 1: Start With a Small Idea That Solves a Real Problem
The first ebook wasn’t flashy.
It was 35 pages long, written in Google Docs, exported as PDF.
Topic?
"10 Proven Side Hustles You Can Start with Zero Experience."
The ebook cost only $1—the goal wasn’t profit.
It was attention. Leads. Trust.
🔁 Step 2: Use the Ebook as a Lead Funnel
Each person who bought the $1 ebook was automatically added to an email list.
Inside the ebook, links were embedded strategically:
• A $19 toolkit (Notion templates)
• A $97 video course
• A $297 coaching program
💡 Key lesson: The ebook was never the end—it was the beginning of a funnel.
🛠 Step 3: Upsell With Digital Tools & Mini Offers
Instead of trying to hard-sell a $297 course to cold traffic, the funnel warmed up leads gradually:
• $1 Ebook → Email → Bonus gift
• Follow-up email → “Hey, do you want the templates too?”
• Later: “Want me to walk you through it in a video?”
• Final pitch: Coaching or community
This approach built trust and boosted conversion rates 5x higher than cold ads.
📈 Step 4: Reinforce With Content & SEO
To sustain growth, blog posts and short-form videos (TikTok, Reels) were created based on the ebook content.
This created organic traffic that kept flowing even without ad spend.
