Turn Empty Google Drive into 3 Digital Products Fast
How I Turned an Empty Google Drive into 3 Digital Products (and Real Paydays)
☕ The Thought That Hit Mid-Sip
I was sipping karak chai, staring at my Google Drive like,
“Damn. This thing’s emptier than my DMs during finals week.” 😩
No plan. No content. Just some abandoned folders named “ideas 💡”, “final-final‑2”, and “stuff maybe.”
But then this thought: What if I just made something? Not perfect. Just start.
Two months later, I had 3 digital products, a payment link in bio, and enough side income to buy guilt-free cake every weekend. Here’s exactly what I built, how I sold it, and why you don’t need 10K followers or a full website to monetize from nothing.
🎯 Real Talk: Why Digital Products Work When You’ve Got Nothing
Because what people actually want is:
- A quick win 💡
- A shortcut or template that makes them feel clever
- A way to learn or do something without watching 2-hour webinars
So if you’ve got insights in your brain and fingers that type? You’re good to go.
🧰 From Zero to Products: What I Created (With Zero Budget)
1. The “Instagram Bio Fix Kit” (Micro‑Product)
This one slapped. Everyone’s Insta bio is a mess. So I built:
- A mini guide: “5 Quick Bio Fixes That Convert”
- 10 plug-n-play CTA formulas
- Bonus: A “bio feedback” template to post in Stories
Delivery:
- Google Doc link + Canva template
- Sent via email after a Gumroad checkout
Pricing:
| Tier | PKR | USD |
|---|---|---|
| Base Kit | 750 | $5 |
| Kit + DM Review | 2,000 | $12 |
| Kit + Feedback Loom | 4,000 | $20 |
Vibe: Small price. Big perceived value. Zero delivery stress.
2. “30 Captions in a Box” (Template Product)
Created this during load shedding one night 🙃
What’s inside:
- 30 Instagram captions (hooks, CTAs, niche variations)
- 10 voice tone variations (for coaches, creatives, chill brands)
- Bonus: Carousel captions & story templates
How I made it:
Used Google Docs + Notion + emojis. That’s it.
Pricing:
| Version | PKR | USD |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 1,800 | $10 |
| Custom + Brand Audit | 5,500 | $30 |
3. Notion “Mini Brand Kit” Dashboard (Starter Product)
Made it after organizing my own chaos.
Includes:
- Brand color picker
- Tone-of-voice styleboard
- Offer clarity sheet
- DIY content bank
What helped it sell?
I used my own chaos as the hook:
“I made this because I was tired of rewriting my intro every week.”
Pricing:
| Version | PKR | USD |
|---|---|---|
| Template Only | 1,200 | $7 |
| Template + Setup Guide | 3,000 | $17 |
| Template + 30-Min Setup Call | 6,500 | $35 |
📋 Checklist: Turn Brain Dump into Product
| Step | Tool |
|---|---|
| Brainstorm 3 problems you can solve | Google Keep, voice notes |
| Choose a simple format (PDF, Doc, Template) | Google Docs, Notion, Canva |
| Write 1 punchy offer name | Use ChatGPT, ask a friend |
| Create quick checkout flow | Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy, Dukan.pk |
| Deliver via email or link | Notion page, email auto-reply |
| Post a messy teaser on Stories | Screenshot with text, no polish |
That’s it. You’re a creator now.
✨The Vibe You Need To Feel
“I turned one tweet thread into a caption kit, priced it at PKR 1,200, and sold 4 in one week. That’s more than I made doing logo edits all month. I didn’t even design a cover page. Just vibes and usefulness.”

Please. Make one thing. Just one.
Open Google Docs. Dump your tips. Title it something dramatic. Save it as a PDF. Upload it to Gumroad. DM five people. You’ll thank yourself next weekend when passive income shows up in your inbox like “hey, you did it.”
You don’t need a course. You need guts and a good file name.
