How to Build and Sell an AI-Generated Digital Planner

The times that we're living in right now are truly amazing, with all of these different AI tools that are out there for us to use. We're in a position where we can literally start up side hustles using just a laptop and an internet connection. This article will walk you through one of the latest ways you can do this.

Validating Your Digital Product Idea

To begin, let's look at an example. On the surface, you might see a super simple website selling a single digital planner. You'll probably think landing on this website, are they able to get traffic? Are they making money from it?

Well, that's the thing. By copying the URL of a store and using a sales analysis tool, you can instantly see a lot of useful information. This data can reveal if a store like this is able to make any type of income. For instance, you can see the one item listed for sale, the estimated sales, and the estimated revenue in the last 30 days.

The Foundation: Building Your Digital Planner with AI

This is the foundation of today's article. The goal is to walk you through the steps needed to build a digital planner that you can also sell on the internet yourself, all by utilizing the power of artificial intelligence. There are countless different digital products out there, but in this article, we will focus on how you can replicate a successful digital planner store.

To accomplish this, we can use a tool like Hostinger's Horizon. It's a super simple tool where all you need to do is enter a prompt into a box, giving it the details of what you're trying to make. Whether you're looking to make a landing page, some type of web application, or a variety of different digital products, you can use it.

Finding Your Niche: What Planner to Create?

For those who might be unsure of exactly what type of digital planner to make, you can figure that out by answering a few questions. This self-assessment process can make things more simplistic. Let's go through it.

There are only several multiple choice questions to consider:

1. What type of digital product are you most interested in creating?

   • Options include digital planners, spreadsheets, ebooks, educational guides, and digital journals. For this guide, we will select digital planner.

2. What type of niche do you have knowledge in?

   • It's very important that whatever type of digital product you're thinking about selling, you center it around something that you've got knowledge in. You don't need to be an expert, but you should have more knowledge than a common person. This will help you when it comes to selling it more effectively. For this example, we'll pick online business. Having run online businesses for over a decade, it's possible to know exactly what type of planner people will benefit from.

3. How do you want to sell your digital product?

   • A good option is to sell it on my own website.

4. How do you plan to promote it?

   • Ideally, you want to try and use multiple different traffic methods, but for this example, we'll focus on SEO blog articles.

Generating a Business Plan with AI

After answering these questions, you'll have a custom prompt with all of the different answers selected. All you need to do from this point is copy everything and open up an AI tool like Google AI Studio.

Paste the prompt in there and run it. Straight away, it will come back with a custom, step-by-step plan. It provides everything you need to do this in the best way as a complete beginner, including brand names, necessary prompts, blog article titles, and a full business plan.

Building the Planner with an AI Tool

Now, we need to focus on actually making the digital planner for online business owners. In the generated plan, find the section that says prompt for Hostinger Horizons. Copy the prompt and go back over to the Horizons tool.

Once you paste the prompt in, you can read through it and make adjustments. You may want to include your branding. For now, we'll leave it as is and click enter.

Horizons will start working on it, which may take around five minutes to complete. The beauty of using this tool is that you can update, edit, and customize the final product. You can enter any information you want into the revision box. After a short wait, the first draft will be ready.

The result is an amazing, interactive digital planner where everything works as it should. When expanded to full screen, this is what the end user will see: an all-in-one planner for online business owners. On the left-hand side, the end user can click into the calendar, add a new entry, and insert all the details they want. If they have a new project, they can add a new task—everything necessary to make this digital planner the best it can be. It's also optimized for mobile phones.

Customizing Your AI-Generated Planner

The beauty of using a tool like Horizons is that if you want to make any change whatsoever, you can do it manually by clicking on elements and changing the text. But you can also enter a revision into the prompt box to make changes within a few minutes.

Let's assume you wanted to add a brand name to the digital planner, such as "Success with Ecom," so people will instantly know it's from your company. You can do that by entering a prompt like this:

add the brand name "Success with Ecom". Put it at the top and make sure that it looks professional.

You may want to give it more information, like telling it not to be obstructive or to place it in a specific location, but this provides the basic idea. After entering the prompt, the tool will go straight to work. In a couple of minutes, the change will be complete, and the brand name will be perfectly integrated.

Publishing and Selling Your Digital Product

Once you are happy with the planner and have tested every button to ensure it works fully, you are ready to start selling it. You can click on "Publish," and Horizons will make it active for people to start using. It will give you a custom link that you can use straight away, or you can use your own custom domain.

But how will people buy it? This is where an AI website builder, like the one from Hostinger, comes in. The beauty of using this is that you can get a website up and running without having to design or code anything, and it often comes with 0% transaction fees. Every time an order is made, the customer will instantly receive the link to start using the digital planner.

To set it up, you would enter your brand name, for example, Success with Ecom. For the description, you can write it yourself or go back to the business plan generated by the AI studio. There should be a section that says prompt for Hostinger's AI website builder. Copy that prompt, paste it into the website builder, ensure the online store option is selected, and click "Create a website."

The website will be completed shortly. You may need to make some changes and ensure you're happy with it, but this will be the page people land on. From there, when they click on any link for your digital product, they'll be able to purchase and instantly receive it. You can easily edit elements like the logo by selecting it, clicking "replace image," and uploading your own.

Leveraging AI for Marketing

Another good thing about modern AI website builders is the different AI tools they include. You might find an AI blog generator, an AI text writer, and other features to make everything more efficient. It is highly recommended to use the AI blog writer to get people onto your site and turn them from non-paying visitors into paying customers.

To manage your store's back end, you can navigate to the store management section, where you can add your first product, select "digital product," and input all the information for the planner you just built.

That's what goes into making a digital planner and using AI in a number of different ways to make the process smoother.
