This is probably going to make you mad.
While you’re polishing module 11 of a 17-module course and tweaking a funnel that never quite converts, a small army of rebels is making rent, and much more, with tiny, useful PDFs.
One page solves one pain. Ten dollars changes someone’s day.
Walmart beats Fifth Avenue on the internet because convenience plus clarity prints cash.
Luxury funnels don’t.
I’ve watched creators spend months perfecting their “Serious Thing.”
By the time it ships, the audience has moved on and the creator is broke, burned out, or both. The cost isn’t just money. It’s momentum. It’s confidence. It’s your family asking why this “business” still looks like a hobby.
Here’s the fix: build a Simple-Fix PDF Engine. One pain. One promise. One page that earns.
Method
Pick a real, felt pain you can solve in 15 minutes.
Promise one clear outcome. No fluff.
Draft the steps in 90 minutes. Screenshot examples.
Wrap it in a clean template. Canva is plenty, but there’s no need to be fancy. I do mine in a Google Doc.
Price it $4–$15.
Post on Gumroad. Add a short, 3-paragraph sales note.
Ship weekly. Track answers, not likes.
Math check. Ten PDFs. Ten sales per week per title at $10. That’s $1,000 a week. Not overnight. But compounding is a beast. Every small fix becomes shelf space. Every shelf adds revenue. That stack becomes your store.
Complexity isn’t prestige. It’s overhead. Your audience wants results, not a syllabus.
Next step today. Choose one pain your readers ask about. Write the seven steps. Export to PDF. Sell it by dinner.
Make money first. Earn trust second. Scale last.
Ship small. Ship often. Then decide if that 300-page book still needs to exist.
