Explain it simply

This creator asked ChatGPT for easy recipe ideas kids can make, then designed a colorful recipe book in Canva, a simple design app. She sells the book as a download on Gumroad and another site, and promotes it to her Instagram followers. Her screen showed about $1,600 in sales, helped by the followers she already had.

How it works

  1. Ask ChatGPT for simple recipe ideas kids can make, with fun names like "Rainbow Yogurt in a Cup."
  2. Lay out the book in Canva: A4 portrait pages, one recipe per page and the same cartoon illustrations throughout.
  3. Export a PDF and list it on Gumroad and Raket.PH. Offer the layout as an editable Canva template too.
  4. Promote it to the Instagram audience you already have.

How it went

The dashboard showed $1,595.81 in sales and 11,645 views. It's shown on camera, not audited, and the sales relied on an Instagram audience she already had. Her Gumroad shop sells the book as an editable Canva template, so part of what she sells is a template other people can rebrand.

Prompt

PromptWritten by our editors from the source
"Give me 20 simple, no-knife recipes kids aged 5 to 9 can make with an
adult nearby. For each: a fun name, 5 ingredients or fewer, 4 to 6 short
steps written for a child, and one safety tip. Avoid common allergens or
label them."

Then in Canva: A4 portrait, one recipe per page, same illustration style
throughout, cover plus contents page. Test every recipe yourself before
selling.

Business fit

Who this suits, and how:

  • Side hustlers: choose a narrow, giftable topic (kids' recipes, not a general cookbook) and price it for an impulse buy.

    Solo founders

  • Parents, teachers and nutrition coaches: turn what you already know into a short printable guide.

    Creators

  • Cafes, bakeries and cooking schools: offer a branded kids' recipe booklet as a paid add-on or a free gift for signing up.

    Local & service

  • Canva template sellers: sell the layout as an editable template as well as a finished book.
