I Built an AI Digital Product—Would You Pay $9?

Can a simple AI-assisted template become something worth paying for? I built an editable follow-up tracker for freelance designers, tested its formulas with fictional enquiries, and examined whether a proposed $9 price makes sense. This is a product-building experiment. The $9 price is a proposed test price, not a market average. The prototype is not currently listed for sale. No customer feedback, orders or earnings are claimed. All company names, enquiries and quote amounts shown are fictional. Open quotes are not revenue. The 12 x $9 example is hypothetical gross revenue before costs.

Watch episode 1:    • I Tested 3 AI Side Hustles—Which Is Easies...   WHAT WAS TESTED Nine production checks covered summary totals, status and date changes, missing dates, the final supported row, invalid status, blank rows and restoring the sample. Calculation-engine tests passed; native Excel and Google Sheets compatibility were not separately certified. Prepared capacity: 50 enquiries. Formula cells are editable, and pasted inputs need review. This is a follow-up aid, not a payment ledger or complete CRM. Production: English AI female narration, original graphics and music, actual ChatGPT capture and rendered views of the generated workbook. The thumbnail is an AI-assisted product mockup.
