Most people treat digital product ideas like lottery tickets.
They spin the wheel, hope it hits, and when it flops, they blame the platform.
Truth is, most digital products fail because they start with a bad idea something nobody wants, needs, or even searches for.
That’s where this prompt comes in.
It doesn’t just give you ideas.
It gives you validated, pain-point-driven, market-tested products you can actually sell on Etsy, Gumroad, or Ko-fi.
All you do is drop your niche in ChatGPT and let it work like a product strategist.
It’ll hand you five ideas complete with features, pricing, personas, SEO tags, and bundling plays.
Let’s break this down so you know exactly why it works and how to use it.
Who This Prompt Is For
If you’re a creator with zero clue what to sell, this is for you.
If you’re someone drowning in digital product options (planners? templates? ebooks?), this is for you.
If you’re a non-designer who wants to use Canva, Notion, or Docs to create fast, this is for you.
If you’re looking to validate ideas before wasting time building, this is for you.
You don’t need a design degree or a marketing funnel. Just an idea and a keyboard.
What It Does
It asks smart questions about your niche so it doesn’t shoot in the dark.
It spits out 5 product ideas that are laser-focused on solving real problems.
It includes the audience, the pain point, features and pricing, keywords for SEO, and bonus bundling/scaling plays.
What It Doesn’t
It doesn’t give you vague junk like “Daily Planner” with no differentiator.
It doesn’t assume you know Figma, Photoshop, or advanced design.
It doesn’t require trend research or SEO knowledge from your side.
Basically, it’s a product strategist built into ChatGPT.
How to Use It Like a Pro
Step 1: Pick a niche
Could be “freelance illustrators,” “tarot readers,” “new moms,” or “ADHD remote workers.”
Anything with a real community and a clear pain point.
Step 2: Drop it in the prompt
