Let’s get real, bhai. You’ve got ideas, skills, and some content… But what you need is a stack — a system of tools that turn your digital creations into passive income. That’s the magic of a Digital Product Stack. In simple terms: It’s the combination of tools you use to create, host, sell, and deliver digital products — eBooks, templates, courses, printables, memberships, and more.
Let’s break down why it’s a game-changer (and how to build yours, Smartly Minted-style).
Why a Product Stack Matters
- It automates income: No more manual email sending or clunky downloads
- It scales instantly: One product can be sold 1 or 1,000 times
- It saves time: AI + automation = less hustle, more results
- It gives you ownership: No reliance on algorithms or one platform
🛠️ Build Your Own Digital Product Stack
Here’s a Smartly Minted-style toolkit to run the entire system:
1. Creation Tools
- Canva – For eBooks, planners, lead magnets
- Notion / Google Docs – For checklists, templates, and swipe files
- ChatGPT – For AI-assisted content writing
- Descript / Loom – For video courses or screen recordings
2. Selling Platform
- Gumroad – Free to start, simple UI
- Payhip – Great for courses + digital products
- Podia / Teachable – For all-in-one course + membership setups
- Lemon Squeezy – If you’re a developer/tech creator
3. Delivery & Automation
- ConvertKit / MailerLite – Email sequences, upsells
- Zapier / Make.com – Connect all your tools for auto-pilot
- Google Drive + auto-link – For freebie or template access
📦 Stack Example: The “Smartly Minted” Setup
Let’s say you want to sell a Notion Side Hustle Tracker template:
| Tool | Role |
| Notion | Build the product |
| Canva | Create a polished PDF guide |
| Gumroad | Sell and deliver instantly |
| ConvertKit | Email follow-ups, upsells |
| ChatGPT | Write the sales copy & email sequence |
Boom. You’ve got a full system. You can sell this 100% on autopilot.
📈 Passive Income Model Breakdown
| Product Type | Price | Monthly Sales | Monthly Income |
| PDF Guide | ₹499 | 100 | ₹49,900 |
| Template Bundle | ₹999 | 50 | ₹49,950 |
| Mini Course | ₹1,999 | 30 | ₹59,970 |
And guess what? One good stack can power dozens of digital products.
Final Thought
Your Digital Product Stack is the digital version of setting up a shop — just without the rent, staff, or stress.
You only need to:
✅ Build it once ✅ Automate the rest ✅ Let the income roll in
And yes — even if you’re just starting out, you can begin with free tools and upgrade as you grow.Smart creators don’t hustle harder. They stack smarter. That’s the Smartly Minted mindset.
