§ 01 · The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
Leon opens with his hands up and a live Shopify Analytics refresh -- $96,174.33, no edits, no pause. The dashboard moves. He hits refresh again. Only then does he start talking. It is one of the cleaner proof-first hooks in the digital-product space: the number is the entire argument.

HOOK opening / re-engagementCTA the pitch metaphor story
00:21HOOKthat a lot of people aren't really talking about or doing right now. But, I'm gonna show you exactly what I do and how I do it. If you wanna try it out for yourself, you can.
00:29HOOKBut, I'm just documenting my journey and showing what I do and putting it out there in the Internet, you know, I don't know, maybe to inspire somebody, but these are just my results and my results only. You've heard of drop shipping, Amazon FBA, print on demand, and so on.
00:45And to be honest, those can be great, you know, businesses to start online, but they take so much effort. When you have to worry about fulfillment and shipping products, it is so disgustingly, you know, stressful,
00:56and that's where this online business model comes in, where you just sell simple PDF guides that, you know, Clawd AI creates for you or chat GBT or whatever AI you wanna use. I'm And gonna show you my entire process
01:10to being able to generate $96,000 in the last thirty days selling something as simple as this. It's quite insane actually.
01:18And last video, I said I'll be giving this specific guide to one of you guys. So, if you commented on last video, go check your, you know, notifications or whatever, because by the time you're watching this, I did reply to the winner. And maybe next video, I'll give away another PDF guide, so just leave a comment down below.
01:34You know, I'll just choose someone random and build your PDF guide to, you know, hopefully help kick start those of you that want to possibly try this at your own at your own will. You know what I'm saying? I'm not saying again that you should try it or whatever.
01:47I'm just showing you what I do, and if I can help in any way, then if it's building a PDF guide for one of you guys, maybe, you know, that will be beneficial. But, yeah, let me show you the entire process on how I do this, and first thing first is finding this idea right here, the sleepless nights and here. Okay?
02:04This is something that people obviously, you know, struggle with. And the key to having a good PDF guide is, you know, selling things that are very emotional based.
02:13Okay? So how do I find these ideas without, you know, pulling out the little hairs that I have left on my hair? You get what I'm saying?
02:19I use PDF TrendLab. Okay? What PDF TrendLab does is it generates ideas
02:25based on real search data. So real time search data, you know, of problems and, you know, issues people are searching to resolve online.
02:34Okay? So PDF TrendLab will then generate those ideas, you know, the ones that are good for a PDF guide.
02:41This right here. So for example, if I wanna come here, do parenting, leave it at ten, and click generate ideas, it's then going to generate me ideas that people are searching for right now.
02:53Like, they're stressed out about it. They're looking for, you know, solutions, and you're probably thinking, well, if they're googling it, they're gonna find, you know, a solution.
03:01No. .
03:05You get what I'm saying? They like to feel like, okay, someone has gone through this or some sort of profession. Whatever it is, they want step by step packaged
03:14solution to their problems. A solution like this where it's like they've tried everything, but nothing seems like it's working.
03:21You can absolutely create something like this, and I personally sell, you know, guides like this between 9 and $27. For this guide, since I'm targeting moms and people with money, you know, I'm gonna sell it for around 27 and above depending on, know, how you know, it's converting every time I increase it by a dollar or $2.
03:40Right? So, when I started selling this guide, know, something similar to this guide, I started at $27. So this isn't the exact guide I obviously sold because,
03:48obviously, you can image search it on Google and find my website. But this, you know, idea and everything came from PDF TrendLab. Like I said, as you can see, it generate ideas for you.
04:00And then, you know, the opportunity scores, if you see something obviously that's green, it makes sense. If you see something that's purple and 75, probably
04:08shouldn't because it's high competition. You know, It has a lot of interest though, but you probably don't wanna deal with that and you wanna deal with something that, you know, is in the green because that means green good. You you get what I'm saying?
04:20So that's pretty much what I did and this is the exact guide that I saved right here, sleep solutions. So it is in fact the same niche, but obviously like I said, I didn't, you know, sell this exact cover and this exact title format because you can obviously search it and then copy exactly what I did too.
04:36You know what I'm saying? Generate this, but I'm giving you enough. I'm literally giving you enough.
04:40Alright? I'm giving you all my secrets and everything. So that's why PDF TrendLab is very vital in my opinion in this whole process because instead of trying to guess and think what are people stressed out about, it'll just give you the ideas right away.
04:53You know I'm saying? You can try any niche you want or just leave it as is. Right?
04:57So do other, generate ideas, and it'll literally just pull what people are stressed out about right now. If it's emotional based and stressful,
05:07there you go. PDF TrendLab will package it up as a PDF guide idea. Boom.
05:12Right there. This is what people are searching to resolve right now online, issues that they're struggling with right now online. And the reason why this is like gold is literally because it's not just gonna pull up anything like how to walk a dog because that's silly.
05:26Right? I mean, that's but that's come on. Every there's there are a million things.
05:30That's not a real issue that's stressful and know I'm saying? But, it might pull up something like how to actually leash train.
05:38You know I'm saying? Leash pulling. Stop leash pulling.
05:41You know, when you're walking your dog. Those are real issues and problems people struggle with and that those are the kind of problems and, you know, issues PDF TrendLab will find, you know, that people are searching for online in the real time, and then package it up as a, you know, PDF I PDF guide idea for you, and then you get something like this that can do something like this.
06:02At least that's what I did, and that's what worked for me, and works for me. And I'll leave a link to PDF TrendLive if you wanna try it in the description and pinned comment down below. But that's first step, you find what you want, save it, and then the next step is you use Cloud AI or any, you know, AI platform,
06:18whatever you wanna use, and you use it to, you know, write the entire PDF guide with a prompt like this. Write me a PDF guide titled The Sleepless Nights and Here subtitle The Gentle Guide to bedtimes that actually last and write the PDF guide in text form here in the chat.
06:33And Claude AI will literally generate the entire PDF guide for you and yeah. Like, you know, before you start thinking, oh my god.
06:42It's AI based blah blah blah. Where does AI, you know I'm saying, get the
06:48information from? It gets it from real studies. Right?
06:52Okay. So you know I'm saying? Once again, for those of you guys that are thinking, my god, you can you see what I'm doing right here?
06:58Yeah. I'm pointing to my meat. So you can do that to my meat down there if you think, oh my god, you see it's AI driven blah blah blah.
07:04You gotta leverage AI if you wanna know I'm saying? If you wanna win. There's nothing unethical
07:11or blah blah blah about this. I'm just ahead of the curve. That's all I'm gonna say.
07:16Once again, I'm showing you what I do. You don't have to do it. I'm just documenting it whether you wanna use it for entertainment
07:22or you wanna use it for inspiration. Whatever you wanna do with it, subscribe, like, you know what saying?
07:28HOOKI'm giving all the sauce on this channel, not selling you a course or anything like that. As a matter of fact, I have a three hour course showing you how I do everything for completely free that I put on this channel. So I'll link it at the end of this video, like, here or right here.
07:42HOOKYou can watch that if you want us people that, you know, do wanna try it. But once again, you don't have to. I'm just showing you what I do.
07:49HOOKIf you like these type of videos where I'm just completely raw and just showing you everything I'm doing or whatever the case is, then like and subscribe because not a lot of people do stuff like this. A lot of people just
07:59make all these crazy edited videos where they're not actually showing you anything that they're doing and, you know, just yeah. But at least I'm going to show you the real and show you, you know I'm saying, real numbers and everything once again refreshed. So that way, when you see stuff like this, you're like, wow, this is real.
08:16He's not selling a course to, you know I'm saying, make money in any of that. Of course, with the way my channel is growing, I have affiliates with Shopify and obviously PDF TrendLab as well.
08:26So it's like, yeah, I do get commission from those things. Obviously, I'm a YouTuber. When mister beast sell his, you know, beast candy and whatever the case is, or everyone is promoting NordVPN,
08:38they get paid for that too. It just comes with being a YouTuber, and it comes with, you know, the childhood dream I've always had to become a YouTuber. But I would never promote anything that I genuinely don't use.
08:49As you can see, this is Shopify. I genuinely use Shopify. This is PDF TrendLab.
08:55I genuinely use PDF TrendLab. So those are the things I will only promote. I'm looking for a sponsor.
09:01You know what I'm saying? Claude, you trying to sponsor me? You know what I'm saying?
09:05Canva. If you try if you're watching this and you try to sponsor me and make me an affiliate, you know what I'm saying?
09:11Hit my line. I'm down for that. But anyway, so after you have, you know, Claude AI or whatever AI you use, write the entire PDF guide for you, You're simply then going to
09:22have it create what I would say is a, you know, a a a a a outline of what your cover should look like. Right? So as you can see right here, I said generate me a cover image for a PDF guide title, you know, the title, and then for the subtitle as well.
09:38And this is what it gave me, and obviously, I I I respect AI a lot. Okay?
09:43Because AI, they, you know, AI, they have a lot of information. They they're data driven and it just makes sense that what AI is saying makes sense due to the data that it collects to make sense.
09:58You get what I'm saying? Obviously, whenever I write a PDF guide, I read through it to make sure it's flowing like a human, and, you know, I'll do a little bit of fact check if I need to based on what the PDF guide is all about.
10:10And if I wanna add things, I can do my further my own further research to then tell it to add those things to the PDF guide itself. You get what I'm saying? But as it is, I already trust it well enough because, I mean, I've been doing this for over a year now, and I haven't read something that's like, oh my god, this is blatantly wrong, or this is just whatever the case is.
10:30Right? So when I ask it to design a outline of a PDF cover for me, because the cover is your selling point. Okay?
10:37This is the first thing people will see right here. Whether you're doing Facebook ads, or whether you have an influencer, you know what I'm saying, you know, talking about your PDF guide while they're promoting it, like, oh, here's this PDF guide. You should, you know, try this out right now because it did this or whatever the case is, blah blah blah.
10:53People are going to see this right here. So it needs to be as eye catching as possible, and that's why your title and subtitle and the image you use is so important. And when Claude, you know, gives you an outline like this, you know, take it as law.
11:07Like, okay, it thinks this is going to be a good cover, you know, based on what it's seen online so far that people are drawn to. Does that make sense?
11:17So then you go on Canva and you design it. Like I said, I'll link a three hour course right here that, you know, shows exactly how I design everything and do everything step by step that I'm talking about in this video. So to get this image, I just go on a website called unsplash.com.
11:34Okay? So unsplash.com right here.
11:38These are free copyright images. Okay? And you can just type in whatever.
11:42Mom sleeping with baby. Boom.
11:46And then you will see a just there you go right there. You see a bunch of copyright free images you can use because when you're selling things online, you need, you know, a license if you're going to be selling things like this. Right?
11:57And since this is copyright free, you can use it for whatever, boom, there you go. Now, have something that's designed with a copyright free image and you own everything right here.
12:06And as far as the pages goes, what what Clawd AI gives you right here, you literally just copy and paste. As you can see, copy and paste.
12:15Copy and paste. And that's literally how you create a digital product that you don't have to worry about shipping.
12:23You literally they get the customer gets instant download after they purchase. So your customer service is not gonna be going insane where you can't keep up with, oh my god, tracking numbers like drop shipping, Amazon, and, you know, print on demand, and literally, something that simple. $96,174
12:40in the last thirty days. Speaking of sales, how did I get these sales? Well, to get to this point, okay,
12:46I'm a take you right here. YouTube. Okay?
12:50So, all you wanna do is literally type in your niche, okay? You wanna make sure you're in a niche where it gets views and people are actually searching for, and that's why PDF TrendLab is literally the go.
13:02Like, I love PDF TrendLab because it's not gonna give me an idea that isn't, you know, a issue that people are searching for right now. A lot of people. Right?
13:12So I am in, you know, in the parenting parenting niche right here with this one. So all I needed to do was find an influencer like this. Look at her.
13:20998,000 subscribers. 242,000
13:24views. Do you see this right here in the description? Promoting a guide.
13:29For you guys that think guides don't work guides don't work. Who buys guides when they can you know what I'm saying? Google it or ask AI.
13:38People don't care. When they're going through something, they're willing to give you 9 to $27
13:45even more for a solution. Okay?
13:49And you some people are gonna be butthurt talking about, oh, you're preying on people's hello? That's what business is.
13:55Like, you're selling something, you have to sell a transformation or you have to like, when someone when Kanye West was making this t shirt right here, do you think I bought it because I needed a t shirt?
14:06I bought it because I wanted to feel. Okay? Keyword, feel.
14:12When I'm driving a, you know, AMG Mercedes, I'm not buying it because, you know I'm saying, the AMG Mercedes is gonna get me to point a, you know, from from point a to point b better than a Honda Civic. No.
14:24I'm buying it because it makes me feel opulent. It makes me feel something. Keyword,
14:30feel. So when people are buying a PDF guide, you know what I'm saying? If you are buying a PDF guide rather than just going on Google
14:39and, you know, being satisfied with that, it's because they want to feel an actual transformation. And when it's being pushed by an influencer, especially a YouTuber,
14:50YouTubers, those are the only influencers I specifically use. I'm not even gonna lie to you.
14:55I haven't used the Instagram influencer in a while. TikTok, I never used them because their conversion rate uh-uh.
15:01With this YouTuber, she made a thirteen minute video. 200,000 views.
15:07Do the math. With 200,000 views at, like, $27 for a PDF guide,
15:12do the math. If I'm selling to around 20 people per day from this from the views here, Just 20 people per day. This video was posted months ago.
15:21Let's say this video, you know, got all the view views within a month. 20 orders per day is all I needed to make a thousand dollars per day for thirty days.
15:31Does that make sense? So if I have this influencer and five more influencers doing the same thing,
15:38I can easily easily, you know what I'm saying, make this right here, which I did. $6,000 days.
15:44You get what I'm saying? And then when you couple that up with the data that's coming from all it is, the people that are visiting the website, add into cart, and everything, and use that data on Facebook to do retargeting ads and, you know, create audiences based on the people that, you know, purchased or visited this website,
16:04you're talking about now you're talking about $8,000 days. Does that make sense?
16:09Like, profit margin well over 60%. Does that make sense?
16:15So it's like, yeah. If you're gonna do any mark the marketing for this, Facebook ads is for another time.
16:23Save that for later. Start with influencers like this and it's easy to contact them.
16:28You click on her page and you can see if you go to her about me, boom. She has an email right here. If she doesn't have it right here, it'll probably be on her Instagram, which she probably has a link somewhere
16:40right there. Her Instagram is linked right there. So usually, if you can't find it, you know, on their YouTube channel in their about me, they probably have an Instagram.
16:48CTAYou can contact them that way or contact them through email, and this is typically what I send them right here. I'm not gonna read this. You can, you know, pause the video and screenshot it, whatever you want.
16:59CTAThis is just a typical kind of offer that I, you know, use for influencers. But, yeah, selling simple PDF guys is the online business that I was able to build using AI, Clawd AI to generate over 96,000 in the last thirty days.

§ 05 · For Joe
Steal the proof-first open.
Killing Excuses playbook
The entire argument is the dashboard refresh -- hands up, no edits, refresh again. That is a format, not a stunt.
- Any business with a dashboard can open this way -- Shopify, Stripe, YouTube Studio, Supabase.
- The hands-up live-refresh is a trust move that costs zero production budget.
- Leon's influencer math (20 orders x $27 x 30 days x 6 influencers) is a clippable formula for any digital product breakdown video.
- The emotional buying frame ('I bought the AMG because it makes me feel opulent') is worth lifting verbatim for any sales page or VSL.
- His stack is fully rented (Shopify + PDF TrendLab). Own-your-stack positioning attacks this directly.
- The free 3-hour course CTA is buried at the very end with no mid-roll pitch -- study that as a viewer trust play.
§ 05 · For You
What this could mean for you.
If you want to try selling digital products
You do not need to build a product from scratch -- AI writes it, a tool finds the niche, and someone else's YouTube audience buys it.
- Start with a niche that is emotionally painful (parenting struggles, sleep problems, money anxiety) -- not just a topic you find interesting.
- The PDF does not need to be long. It needs to feel authoritative and packaged. Claude can write it; you review it for accuracy.
- Get your first influencer partnership by emailing the contact address listed on any YouTuber's About page.
- Price between $9 and $27. Start at $27 and only lower if it stalls.
- Do not start with Facebook ads. Start with one influencer, watch the data, then retarget with that pixel data.
