πŸ“Š Superstar Sale Β· Boring Digital Products

Third Superstar Sale business: our own storefront selling simple files β€” templates, trackers, checklists β€” from the "5 boring digital products quietly selling every day" reel. Unlike the IG rail, there is no network offer: the products are ours, the margin is ~95%, and the only approval gate is the store we own.

Overview

5 products built + verified 2026-09-30Awaiting Payhip store (Mike) Β· 6 bridge slots empty

Method source: Facebook reel 1062790562920955 ("5 BORING digital products quietly selling every day β€” templates, trackers, checklists"), list recovered from the caption: β‘  budget spreadsheet β‘‘ onboarding packet β‘’ content calendar β‘£ meal-prep tracker β‘€ client intake form. This is a sell-your-own-file method, so the class procedure shifted from "verify network offers" to "verify the sales rail and build the files" β€” all five files are built and pass structural verification (first built 2026-09-30; rebuilt from generators 2026-10-15 after the machine migration wiped the originals).

Unit math at the $9 average price: Payhip 5% + Stripe β‰ˆ2.9% + 30Β’ β†’ β‰ˆ $8.26 net per sale. First sale is the milestone; the 1-in-20 hit rule says judge formats at ~100 reels.

The rail (class procedure, own-product variant)

  1. Verify the rail before building. Payhip checked against its own pricing page 2026-09-30: Free Forever $0/mo +5% per sale, unlimited products, instant payouts, EU/UK VAT handled. Gumroad rejected: 10% + 50Β’ direct (30% via Discover) β€” 2Γ— the fee at our $7–12 price points.
  2. Pick ONE storefront. Payhip only. Etsy/Gumroad are phase-2 channels and only after Payhip produces β€” never two stores at launch.
  3. Build the files first. All five products generated agent-side (openpyxl / python-docx / reportlab) and structurally verified β€” formulas read back cell-by-cell; a double-count bug in the budget "left over" formula was caught and fixed this way.
  4. Bridge page, not direct links. IG bio/captions point at the bridge page (free checklist + all six cards); the store links live in STORE_SLOT_1..6 and are filled the moment Mike sends the Payhip URLs.
  5. Mike steps (agent cannot do these): create the Payhip account + connect PayPal/Stripe (payee/tax), upload the 6 files, send back the product URLs, create the IG account, optional ManyChat keyword CHECKLIST.
  6. Run the loop: 1–2 reels/day from the kit's 8 buckets β†’ reply to every comment in hour one β†’ double down on winning formats at day 30.

*Suggested prices β€” coffee-zone, not course-zone. Files live in C:/Users/mikeb/Repos/superstarsale-products/ (with the generator scripts beside them), deliberately outside any public repo β€” pushing paid deliverables through the repo would leak them. The 2026-10-15 rebuild is stdlib-only (xlsx/docx = OOXML zip, PDF hand-rolled) because PyPI was unreachable that day.
