How Selling Templates and Tools for AI Users Can Make You Thousands

The Smartest Play in A.I. is NOT Using It 

Everyone wants to get rich from AI.

But most people are making the same mistake, they're trying to build their own chatbot, SaaS product, or GPT-powered assistant from scratch.

That’s expensive, crowded, and wildly technical.

The real money is being made by people doing something much simpler:

They’re selling templates.

Prompt packs. Notion dashboards. Canva bundles. ChatGPT cheat sheets. Airtable automations.

All the stuff that helps people use AI better.

And they’re making real money doing it, without coding, hiring, or needing millions in VC funding.

Let’s break down how it works.

AI Users Are Desperate for Shortcuts and Systems

You don’t have to convince people to use AI. That part already happened.

ChatGPT has over 180 million users. Jasper, Claude, Copy.ai, Midjourney, they all have loyal fanbases growing by the day.

But just because people are using these tools doesn’t mean they know how to use them well.

They’re overwhelmed.

They’re searching “best ChatGPT prompts for marketers” and buying guides off Etsy.

They’re paying $29 for swipe files and $99 for Notion setups.

Because they don’t want to learn how to build their own system. They just want to plug one in and start winning.

This is what makes AI users such a good market to sell to:

• They’re already spending money on tools.

• They already believe in the power of AI.

• They’re actively looking for ways to save time and get better results.

When you sell a solution that makes their workflow faster or their outputs better, you don’t need a massive brand or huge ad budget to win.

You just need a product that works.

The Biggest Market is Low-Skill, High-Volume Users

There’s this myth going around that the only way to profit from A.I. is to be ultra-technical.

That you’ve gotta master Python, build a SaaS tool, or be some genius prompt engineer who can summon poetry with a comma.

But that’s not where the real money is.

The biggest market isn’t elite developers or power users.

It’s regular people.

People using A.I. to save time on blogs, ads, lesson plans, emails, job applications, homework, resumes, captions, cold DMs, proposals, the list goes on.

These users aren’t looking to become A.I. experts.

They want to push a button and get a result.

They don’t want a theory or a framework. They want the prompt. The form. The template. The exact tool that works.

And once they use it and it works?

They want more.

That’s why template packs, spreadsheet tools, prompt bundles, and digital systems are exploding.

They’re cheap, fast, and high-leverage, exactly what overwhelmed users are looking for.

Think about it like this:

• A Google Sheets template that helps coaches generate daily content with ChatGPT? Sell it for $19, and you’ve got a product.
  

• A Notion dashboard that turns brainstorming into email campaigns? Sell it for $39, and you’ve got a business.
  

• A swipe file of A.I.-optimized prompts for real estate agents? Sell it for $9, and you’ve got a funnel.

Low-ticket, low-risk, and completely digital. That’s the game.

And the people making serious money from this model aren’t competing on tech.

They’re competing on simplicity.

That’s what sells in an overwhelming, oversaturated space.

Why Buyers Trust Digital Templates More Than Advice

Nobody wants another opinion.

They want outcomes.

And that’s exactly why templates and tools sell better than advice, especially in the A.I. space.

The average user doesn’t care what you think they should do with ChatGPT. They want to paste in a prompt and get a result. That’s it. No philosophy. No frameworks. Just “give me the thing that works.”

Templates feel safe. They're not abstract. They're executable.

When someone buys a Notion dashboard, a Canva pack, or a pack of copywriting prompts, they’re not buying content, they’re buying clarity. They don’t want to waste hours guessing what works or wondering if they’re doing it wrong. They want something that already works.

This is why tools sell better than tips.

It’s why you don’t need to be a personal brand to make money from A.I. products.

Because in this space, the product does the talking. If it helps someone get their job done faster, it doesn’t matter who made it. You don’t need a 100K audience. You just need to solve a specific problem clearly, and you’re in.

In fact, the less attention you draw to yourself, the easier it is to scale. Templates are the only digital products that can be anonymous, evergreen, and profitable.

No coaching. No fulfillment. No brand dependency.

Just pure utility.

The Right Template Can Sell Forever with Zero Updates

You don’t need to keep building new products.

That’s the myth.

People think A.I. evolves too fast to make anything evergreen, but they’re confusing tools with use cases.

The tech might change. The interface might get prettier. But the jobs people use A.I. for? They’re not going anywhere.

People still need:

• Email templates that convert

• SOPs they can hand off

• Sales pages that don’t sound like chatbots

When your product solves that kind of problem, one rooted in real work, it doesn’t expire with the next GPT update. It keeps selling. Quietly. Consistently.

I’ve seen creators build a $20 template once and watch it do $1,000–$5,000 a month for years. I’ve seen people bundle 3–4 tools into a $50 product and clear six figures with zero ongoing effort.

And when you really get strategic?

You start plugging those templates into systems, upsells, tripwires, automations. You license them to agencies. You bundle them into client onboarding. You wrap them inside courses or paid communities.

What started as a simple Google Doc becomes a quiet cash-flow machine.

That’s what makes this model so powerful.

The BMM Takeaway

Trying to “master” A.I. is a trap.

The tools change too fast. The landscape’s too volatile. The experts you’re learning from today are already outdated tomorrow.

But there’s one thing that doesn’t change: human problems.

Every day, people are still trying to:

• Write better emails

• Save time at work

• Make their content not sound like garbage

If you can solve those problems with a tool that works, even if it’s dead simple, you win.

You don’t need to be an A.I. genius.

You don’t need to invent the next plugin or become a prompt savant.

You just need to watch where people are struggling… and make a tool that helps them move faster with less friction.

That’s what this whole game is.

Templates aren’t just about utility.

They’re about relief.

And if you can sell relief? You don’t need followers. You don’t need fame. You just need one good offer.
