How I Use Just 2 AI Tools To Sell $600k/Month of Digital Products

There are so many videos out there on using AI to create digital products, using AI to sell digital products. And I'm kind of curious, right, because the thumbnails always look so insane. The thumbnails always look so cool. So I go to watch them, and it's like eight software. Hours and hours to set up. You have to buy a ton of different subscriptions. And at the end of it, at the end of the whole damn thing, if you make $27, you're lucky. And so it's this, as someone who actually makes like $600,000 per month selling digital products, I want to tell you the two AI softwares I do use and why they are super, super helpful. But you do not need these. Those kinds of things, those like big, long, seven softwares, everything's done for you. Like it's all automated. It makes for really good content, and it looks awesome on YouTube, right? I mean, trust me, I'm clicking them too. Like they look sick. However, as someone that's actually walking the walk, not just talking the talk, those things don't work. They just do not. And it looks awesome, but it's not based in reality at all. If you, you know, $600,000 a month, that's a big income claim. If you go to marielent.com slash income proof, I share my actual, like how much I make. I share how much I spend on expenses. I share my personal expenses. I share my tax returns. I obviously claim to make a ton of money, and I understand that that creates a lot of skepticism. And so to handle that, I just let you guys know literally everything about my finances, because I want to stretch your mind and let you know what's actually possible. And then when I put advice out there, I want you to know this is what actually works. This is actually working. Someone's making quite a bit of money doing it. So let's talk about the two AI softwares that I use that actually work, and it's because they're simple that they scale. So you may have heard the saying, right, like simple scales, fancy fails. The reason I'm leveraging a few pieces of software and doing really well is because it's simple. Because these big complicated funnels, they don't work. They disincentivize the customer to go through the entire funnel. They often break. So you're constantly fixing things, and it has a massive startup cost, right? If you're spending eight different subscriptions for software, it's hard if you're just getting started. So as someone that actually does it, there's just two that I use. I'm going to show you what it looks like. We're going to go into each one of them, and you can get started. You can use both of them for free. So easy peasy. Okay, so let me show, what I'm going to do here is I'm going to share screens, and I just want you to like get the insight into all of these. So let me share screens here. That is what I made every year, in case you're wondering what that is. I just filmed a video on my income over the years from 2013 to 2024, so that's why that's still up. Okay. So the first software that I use is ManyChat, and it is an AI software. Basically what it does is it automatically detects when someone leaves a comment, and it sends them right to my checkout page. So it's a way for me to automatically create a ton of traffic. You can see here with just this one that I pulled up as an example, this is not simple. This is a little trigger, and then here's what happens. And this has sent 22, well I guess you can see over here, 23,000 times. So it's created, 47% of them have clicked. So it's created like, what is that, 11,000, basically 12,000 checkout page views to, I'll show you what the checkout page is, to this checkout page. And that's just one example. I have tons and tons and tons of these. So I love ManyChat. The way it works basically is, you may have seen on Instagram where people are like, you know, comment the word batch if you want to learn how I make 40 reels in two hours, and then everyone comments batch. What that's doing, what the content creator is doing there, is creating traffic to something. Now if they're smart, they're creating traffic directly to a checkout page where people can buy from them. But it could be, you know, other people use it for other things, that's fine. The software though, and what comes in place is, I used to do this, you may not know this, but I've been in business for so long, I used to do this manually. I used to have a virtual assistant who would, everyone would leave comments, and then the virtual assistant would manually message them. And that might be before your time, especially if you're just getting started in the world of digital products, you may not know that in 2014 and 2015 and 2016, we were manually replying to all these comments. And so to have a software like this that automatically detects, oh, this keyword has been commented, automatically message them and send them this, you don't understand what a godsend that is to those of us that have been in this space for a really long time. That literally saves hours and hours and hours. And you know, the interesting thing is that that virtual assistant who was replying to comments, she stayed on. So it didn't even put her out of a job. She stayed on and she learned how to do higher skilled work. So she's actually making more money. She like went up the ranks in my company because of the software. And so, and this leads to like another side note about like not being afraid of AI. We all adapted to artificial intelligence using this as an example, and everyone is better off because of AI in this specific example. My theory is we're all better off all the way around. We should not fear AI. We should fear our lack of adaption. And so all of that to say, this is the first software that I use. I do think that they charge for it monthly, but I think I can get you guys a free trial. So I'm going to put a link in the description that can give you a free trial. I always say like, use a 30 day trial and use it to get sales to pay for your software. That's what I've always told people to do. So again, what you're going to find is as you start like getting in this space, there's going to be people that are, one of my good friends, he calls them like armchair business coaches or like hypothetical theoretical business coaches where they say like, oh, you can use all these different softwares to make money, but they're actually not making any money at all. And so what you're going to find is that the people who are really walking the walk and are the real deal, the tools in their tool belt are a few. It's like a good chef. A good chef doesn't need every kitchen appliance out there. He just needs a sharp kitchen knife and he knows what he's doing. That's the difference. And so what you'll find is that this video is going to be very different than the average like AI tools to sell digital products, but it's from someone who's actually in the field doing it. So just keep that in mind because it is, I'm like, I'm self-conscious because it's less sexy than some of the videos out there, but I'm being, I want to be honest and I want to say, hey, like we just do this one software five times a day. So it's simple software and an insane volume. The other one that I use, believe it or not, is ChatGBT. We use ChatGBT a lot. We use ChatGBT to come up with product names. We use ChatGBT to analyze different funnels, to predict sales based on data. I also use it to predict like which reel will go viral. I do not use ChatGBT to write any content for me. I think we're all starting to pick on up on like, oh, I can tell that piece of content was written by AI. It's just really obvious and it really hurts your credibility in my opinion. So I will never use ChatGBT to write content. I never use ChatGBT to actually create a product, but I use ChatGBT quite a lot to solve the process of creating and marketing digital products. So like I said, like coming up with product names, but really fundamentally what I use, there's like three buckets that I use ChatGBT for. Essentially brainstorming tough business math problems that you need to know. So like, for example, if I sell this product for $27 and it has a conversion rate of 60%, but if I sell it for $37, it has a conversion rate of 70% or 50%, which one's going to make me more money? So like those harder math problems where you're like looking at two funnels that you're testing and you're trying to figure out which is the better option, I use ChatGBT for that all the time. And then the third thing that I use it for is prediction. So it's predictions are obviously not always right. It's certainly not 100% accurate at all, but if I have a feeling something's going to go a certain way and then ChatGBT confirms it, it's just a way to let me know like, okay, I'm on the right track. And so one of the things that you really should take away from this video is how many experiments that I do and how much marketing we do. And I have something I want to... I'll share it with you in a second, but I can give you a free copy of this book. It's the book I wrote. It's like how I made it $11 million selling digital products. I'll show it to you when I'm not in a little tiny bubble, but I go into it a lot because if you're going to do something like sell $11 million of digital products, there's a lot that goes into that. And so I'll talk about that later because I want to show you this prompt just as an example. So this would be using ChatGBT to analyze something that I want to do. So here's the prompt. My students love this. They use this prompt all the time, and so I thought I would just share it with you guys here on YouTube. It says, Maria Wendt says, in order for a digital product to go viral, because I'm really good at helping digital products go viral, it needs to do three things. One, provoke curiosity. Two, solve a hyperspecific problem. Three, promise the unbelievable. My course idea is, and then what I did is like I filled this in based on like how a typical student would do this. So one of my students just launched her digital product. It was like a gardening guide, and she made something like $30,000 from it. I put it on my YouTube channel if you want to look at that. And so I just was like pretending to be her, and then I ran it through ChatGBT, and then basically ChatGBT can analyze this and give us feedback. And it's not going to quite fit the criteria. It's going to be close, but it's not quite. Yeah, see there you go. It's exactly what it said. Provokes curiosity somewhat. Somewhat solves a hyperspecific problem. Somewhat really doesn't have the unbelievable, right? So this is something that I go into in this free little book. I'll talk more about this in a second, but these are the three things that if you want your digital product to go viral, it has to do. So it has to provoke curiosity. It has to solve a hyperspecific problem, and it has to promise the unbelievable. And ChatGBT, basically, we use our idea to give us feedback on that. So you can also see, like, so I'll give you another example of like how I would use this to test two funnels. So funnel A converts at, let's just say, 23% with a $27 product. Funnel B converts at 2% for a, we'll just say, $197 product. Which one will make me more money? We do stuff like this all the time because we do so much testing and so much just analysis with marketing. So then it'll run something just like this. So let's run the math. Funnel, and it basically, like, does the math on what that funnel makes. $6,000 versus $4,000. So, and by the way, as a side note, this is something that we see all the time. People are like, oh, well, my product is not, it's worth way more than $27. And I'm constantly trying to tell people, you are going to make more if you sell your digital product for less. So this is kind of getting us in a side note. But this little example of ChatGBT illustrates this really well. Because they're thinking about the fact that they used to sell a product for $200 and now they're selling it for $27. I'm trying to get them to see this math. Well, it's converting much higher because it's easier for people to say yes to. So fundamentally you're making quite a bit more money selling something for $27, which is how I've made, for the record, it's how I have made millions of dollars. Let me just turn this off. It's how I've made millions of dollars because I have always been, for years I've made, I've sold things very, like all my courses are insanely cheap. I don't really have anything huge. It's like $27 here, like it's low ticket. That's what it's called. It's low ticket. And so if you want to know, if you want to dive deeper into all of this, I'll just show you this book. So I wrote this book. I'm super happy to give you a free copy of it. It's called How I Made $11 Million Selling Digital Products. And it's really everything you need if you want to build an automated business. So I share, like I go in depth on those many chat funnels. I share, gosh, so much, like the way your funnel needs to be set up. And again, you can get a free copy of this. I'm just going to give it to you because this is, let me tell you, this kind of stuff, access to information like this, it's 88 pages. I did not have this. So if you want to know, just, oh my gosh, so much data that I share with you, just so much, like really everything you need to know in order to have a business like this, everything I did to make $11 million selling digital products. If you want to know how to create your digital product, make it go viral, scale it, you can have a free copy of it. I'm going to drop a link in the description down below and I will see you there.
