How I’d Make Money with Claude AI in 2026 (If I Had to Start Over)

0:00This is my Gumroad dashboard analytics for the last 3 months from simple PDF digital products I built with Claude AI. So, if I had to delete my Gumroad account and start again from zero, I would follow these exact four [music] steps that we're going to do together right now. And at the end of this video, I'll show you how much money we made from this strategy. We're not going to create a random product and hope someone buys it. First, I'm going to find a digital product that is already working and already getting sales using a research strategy most people don't know about. Then we'll recreate it in our own

0:33way with Claude AI, and trust me, you're not ready for the result Claude will give us when I connect it with the secret tool I'll show you. After that, we'll publish everything on Gumroad, test a proven ad strategy, and I'll also show you the free ways to promote your product if you don't want to spend money on ads. Without wasting any more time, let's find a digital product that is already working. I'm not going to tell you to follow your passion or sell what you know like 90% of gurus out there tell you. That's how you waste time building something nobody wants. We need something that's already proven to work,

1:08and the best place to find that is the Facebook Ads Library, where you can see exactly what people are running ads for right now. So, just search for Facebook Ads Library on Google. It will pop up first. Select a top-tier country like Germany, then search for one of these keywords. These are the most used ones for digital products. Now, click on filter and select ads that have been running for more than 5 days because we all know testing takes 3 days. So, if it passed that, it means he liked the results. Now, just scroll and look at this one. It's an ebook about sales strategies, and he's been running it

1:44since September 2025. That's a strong signal the ad may be working, but we're not stopping at one. We're going to build a list, so I created this Google Sheet. I'll drop the link on the blog so you can use it, too. Just log the product name, the landing page link, and the Facebook ad link. Then do the same for the rest. And honestly, I found some crazy products I never would have thought of without this, like an exercise book to improve your cello skills. But the niche I kept seeing everywhere, weight loss ebooks for both men and women. Once you have your 10 products, you need to pick the best one

2:18based on factors like search demand, audience size, and more. So here's what I do. I download the product list, go to Claude AI, upload it, and use this prompt right here. Just like that, it will analyze everything and tell you which one has the most potential. In our case, it's this, the 40-page hormone mapping protocol. But we're not going to copy it. We need to upgrade it, make it unique, which brings us to step two, rebuild it with Claude AI in your own way. And to upgrade that digital product, we first need to upgrade Claude AI, and we do that by linking it to Higgsfield AI. We all know Claude is one

2:54of the best when it comes to PDF creation with tables, analytics, charts, and structured layouts. And we also know Higgsfield AI is one of the best tools for image and video generation with all the latest models. So if we merge them together, we're basically creating a monster. So first, go to Higgsfield, click on MCP, then select it again here, and copy this URL. Now go to Claude AI, click on customize, then connectors, click the plus icon, add a custom connector, and paste the URL we copied from Higgsfield. Name it anything you want, then click add. After that, they'll take you to this page to allow the connection, and that's it. You just

3:34created a content studio that could literally cost thousands of dollars if you hired people to do what it can do. Now I'll go to the blog that you'll find in the description, which includes all the prompts we're using, starting with the first one. Paste your digital product link here along with some images from the landing page. And just like that, it will first give you info about the original product, then an upgraded version with a unique style. So, save these three things: the name, description, and positioning, because we'll need them in the other prompts, like the second prompt that generates the table of contents. Now, look at the

4:11result it gave us. You see now why I told you that you just created a monster? The reason this doesn't look like those basic PDFs with text only is because it creates everything in HTML first, so it looks more like a landing page. And don't worry, we'll convert it to PDFs later. So, now we'll use the third prompt that lets it generate the ebook chapter by chapter. And again, you'll need to fill in some placeholders. You may ask me, "Why are we repeating the same info over and over if we're still in the same chat?" I'll answer that with this quote, "Prompt AI like it's seven, and it will answer like

4:45it's 70." So, yeah, fill in those details carefully, and always remember, we only need to create this once and sell it forever. As you can see, this prompt also tells Higgs Field to generate two images for each chapter, making the ebook visually rich instead of just walls of text. Now, if you like the first chapter, you can simply tell

5:06it to continue generating the next ones. And of course, sometimes it will stop you because of usage limits. Just wait around 4 hours and it will reset again, so you can continue in the same chat. Once you generate all the chapters, we'll take the fourth prompt. This one gives you three different cover book variations. I'll choose this one, it looks fire. So, now we have every element a professional ebook needs. And the fifth prompt is what merges everything together. But don't forget to mention which cover you selected. In our case, it's cover A. So, after around 25 minutes, I got the download link to this masterpiece. Now, you may be wondering,

5:44"But how do we convince 40 plus women that this is actually a masterpiece. That's exactly what we're going to see in step three. Package it and publish it on Gumroad. The first thing I'll do is log out of my Gumroad account and create a new one so we can clearly see the exact data for this product without any interruptions. So go to settings, then profile, and add your brand info like the name and logo. From here you can also edit the colors. I prefer the dark theme. After that, go to payments and link your bank account can get paid. Now

6:16go to products and hit new product. We'll use the sixth prompt on this step. You have to upload the cover image here so it can first generate a high-quality Gumroad cover that showcases the ebook. Then it will generate the full description, title, and everything else. So take that title, paste it here, and for the price I'll do $49.99, but I'll also add a coupon code to boost conversions. So click next, then add the cover image and description. This description includes everything and answers almost every question a buyer might ask. And at the bottom, you'll see the coupon code, so put any discount you want like 25% then copy this full line

6:57so we can paste it here in the summary to make it look like this. Now click next, upload the ebook here, and hit publish. To activate the discount, click on checkout, then add discount, and paste your discount code exactly how you wrote it before. Make sure you don't type it wrong. Then select the product we just created, choose the percentage

7:17of the discount, and click add discount. After that, click on checkout form and select only if a discount is available. Now if someone clicks on I want this and adds the discount code, the price will go from $49 to $37, which makes the offer feel way harder to ignore. And this is exactly why you don't need to waste a lot of time or money building a fancy store or complicated landing page like most gurus say. This simple Gumroad page is enough because most buyers don't decide to buy after reading a long landing page. They usually decide from the ad video, and that's exactly what we're going to see in step four. Get

7:57traffic to make the first sale. I'll begin with the paid strategy through Facebook ads, but if you don't have the budget to start, I got you with the free strategy, too. So, before closing the Claude section, we still need it for this step. Wait, don't tell me Claude can create video ads, too? Did you skip the part

8:14where I said we just created a monster? Anyway, take prompt seven and send it in the same chat along with the cover image. Now, Claude AI will connect directly to Higgsfield Marketing Studio and start cooking three ad creatives for you from the scripting all the way to the final videos like this. Your doctor isn't lying to you, they're just looking at the wrong numbers. 4:00 a.m. for no reason, this is for you. 5 days at the gym, eating clean, nothing moved. This month my exact hormonal path That's fire, and we can also ask it for

8:43image ads, too. I'll use only this one. Now, we've got four different ad creatives, but before heading over to Facebook Ads Manager, there's one last prompt we should run into Claude AI. This one will give you the exact audience you should target so you don't waste money on the wrong people, plus the ad copy and other stuff. So, now click create, then select sales since that's the main goal. And this is the testing strategy I always use for my ads. One campaign, two ad sets, one with interests and the other without interests, then three to five ad creatives duplicated across both ad sets. So, the only thing you need to

9:19change here is the budget strategy. Select ad set budget, then hit next. Select your pixel here so Facebook can track sales. If you don't know how to create a pixel, just head over to the database, create it easily, take the ID, paste it here on Gumroad, and that's it. You'll see it show up here. For the budget, the minimum I suggest for this strategy is $10 a day. So, I'll go with $15 and I'll set it to start running the next day. For the countries, I'll go back to what Claude AI gave me and target those countries. Same thing for the other info like language, age, and

9:54gender. Just follow what Claude gives you. For the ad creative section, upload the first video ad, then use this ad copy here along with that headline. For the description, I like using this one because it helps motivate viewers to click on the call to action, which is learn more. Now, just paste the link here and that's it. This is how it will look. Now, click set up test, select three ads since one is already created, put your ad set budget here, which is $15, and select three days. Now, you can easily delete the media and replace it with the other creatives and keep doing the same until you complete all four ad

10:31creatives. Then hit publish once you confirm everything is correct, but we're not done yet. We still need one ad set with interests. So, just duplicate it, go directly to interests, then start adding some of the interests Claude AI gave you. You probably won't find all of them, so just add the ones you can find until you reach a reasonable audience size, then publish everything. And just like that, we've got two ad sets scheduled with all eight ad creatives ready to launch. Ads just speed things up. The free strategy is slower, but once it works, you win. I'm talking about those theme pages with the link in

11:08the bio on Instagram and TikTok. And that's the same method I used for my old digital product that I explained in that video using those simple motivational quotes. The method is simple and you can clearly see that it's worked more than once. Go to successful pages in your niche, preferably faceless pages if you don't want to show your face, and try to recreate the best performing videos on those accounts. The only two important things you need to know are short-form platforms reward consistency, and the best amount to post is around two to five videos a day. Second, you only need one successful video to blow up your

11:45account, so keep posting. Now, for our digital product, here's a content idea. First, I'll go to free stock videos and search for clips of women over 40 in different situations, then download some of them. I'll tell Claude AI to generate quotes related to the ebook that either help them or emotionally hook them. Then, I'll edit the video with some clean effects to make the quote stand out clearly, add a trending sound that I can easily find just by scrolling, and that's it. [music] Now, seriously, how are you going to convince me that if I stay consistent with three videos like this every single day, I'm not going to

12:20blow up an account targeting 40-plus women? And by the way, for any digital product you want to start, type it in the comments right now, and I'll send you the content idea you should stay consistent with. So, basically, I didn't let the full 3-day test finish because I saw the non-interest ad set was just burning money with zero results. On the other hand, the interest ad set generated three sales with a great cost per action. So, we spent $60 on ads and got back $124, which means around $64 profit. And by the way, someone didn't even use the coupon code. So, yeah, there are buyers who really don't care that much about

13:01the price. Now, the next move is to let the test finish, scale the winning interest ad set, and then run another country test, like five ad sets with one country per ad set. And that's the full step-by-step. Find your winning digital product, and good luck with it.
