How I Used AI to Start My First Digital Product in 30 Days

If you would’ve told me a few years ago that I’d be launching my own digital products with the help of Artificial Intelligence, I probably would’ve raised an eyebrow.
Not because I didn’t believe in the tech — I just didn’t think I was the type. I wasn’t a programmer. I didn’t have a big team. And honestly, I was juggling life like everybody else — bills, family, work, and other responsibilities.
But here’s the truth: AI changed the game — and helped me move from idea to income in 30 days flat.
Not theory. Not hype. This is exactly how it happened.
Week 1: The Digital Product Idea Was There… But the Plan Was Messy
Like most people, I had ideas. Lots of them.
Half-finished notes in my phone. A handful of outlines sitting in Google Drive. One too many “maybe someday” projects collecting digital dust. But I never got past that initial spark. Why?
Because I was waiting for:
More time
A perfect strategy
Or the right person to help me execute
Turns out, I didn’t need more people. I needed a partnership with smarter tools.
That’s when I opened up ChatGPT and asked a simple question: “Help me turn this idea into a digital product I can launch in 30 days.”
And just like that… the wheels started turning.
Week 2: Structure, Strategy, and Support (in Minutes, Not Months) for the Digital Product
Once I had the concept dialed in, I used AI to help me break it into bite-sized steps:
Now, here’s the wild part: What used to take me weeks just to organize in my head… only took me hours.
AI didn’t replace the vision. It removed the roadblocks. Creating the vision was faster... and easier!
Week 3: Build the Digital Product Small. Launch It Smart.
One of the best mindset shifts I made during this time was this: “This doesn’t have to be a masterpiece — it just has to be useful and done.”
So I built a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) — a starter version of my idea that delivered value, without me overthinking every detail.
Using suggestions from ChatGPT along with other books by successful authors, I started creating several digital books around the main key idea of personal finance on Amazon. I also built the website and blog that you are reading this post on.
No ads. No launch party. No fluff.
I launched the blog posts and the books quickly and easily to see if the ideas would have enough traction... and they did! I gained some organic views and book sales.
Week 4: First Sale. First Taste of Digital Freedom.
I still remember the notification. You made a sale.
It wasn’t a huge amount — but it didn’t need to be. Because in that moment, I realized something powerful: I had created something once… that could sell over and over again.
That’s when it clicked.
This wasn’t just a product. It was a proof of concept. A signal that said,“You can do this. You just needed the system.”
And AI made that system possible.
Fast Forward: What Changed Since Then?
Everything.
I’ve launched more books. I’ve refined my process. And I wrote AI Money to show exactly how regular people — yes, you too — can do this without burning out or selling out.
AI didn’t just help me move faster. It helped me finally finish.

If you’ve got an idea sitting in your notes…If you’ve been saying “someday” for too long… If you feel the pull to create something real, something scalable…
This is your moment.
