Welcome Back To Side Hustle Weekly!
I’m excited to share with you another great side hustle you can start today! Today we will be discussing how you can start a product bundler business.
Before We Get Started Here’s Your News Recap:

💡 Capex Surge: Firms Betting Big on the Future
S&P 500 companies are stepping up capital expenditures, with capex projected to grow 9.4% in 2025 ahead of sales, driven by AI, reshoring initiatives, and infrastructure investments. Mega-caps in tech and utilities are leading the charge with some spending more than double year-over-year.
⚠️ Tariff Risks Cloud Factory Outlook
Factory output across Asia and Europe faces uncertainty as U.S. tariff deadline looms July 9. While Japan's sector rebounded and China saw Caixin PMI tick to 50.4, Germany, France, Italy, and Austria remain a drag.
📈 BlackRock Shifts to Short-Term in Uncertain Environment
BlackRock Investment Institute pivots to 6–12 month investment horizons, preferring U.S. equities and euro-area bonds. They're cautious on long-dated Treasuries and eye emerging-market local-currency debt amid a 10% drop in the dollar.
📉 Oil Edges Down on Supply Boost, Trade Anxiety
Brent crude retreated to $66.44/barrel as OPEC+ signals rising August output (+411 k bpd) and looming U.S. tariffs cloud demand forecasts.
🏛️ Senate Vote Marathon on “Big, Beautiful Bill”
Washington locked in a Senate “vote-a-rama” on Trump’s $3.3 trillion tax-and-spend package. Markets are uneven—while the dollar dipped to a 4‑year low, bond markets remained calm, owing to rate-cut expectations.
📉 Stocks Dip Amid Tax and Tariff Uncertainty
Following record highs, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq retreated ~0.3–0.4% as investors weighed trade negotiations and fiscal fallout from the Senate showdown.
📊 Activist campaigns drop ~12% in H1 as geopolitical and trade uncertainties cause investors to pause.
📈 Gold forecast raised by HSBC to $3,215/oz for 2025 and $3,125/oz for 2026 amid demand for safe-haven assets.
💳 Goldman Sachs now expects three Fed rate cuts (Sept, Oct, Dec), up from one earlier, citing subdued tariff inflation and labor weakness.

Digital Vault Flipper
Turn Dusty Downloads Into Monthly Dollars
There’s a hidden goldmine sitting on the laptops of coaches, influencers, and online creators everywhere: ebooks, templates, guides, and checklists they created once but never sold—or sold, then abandoned. These assets are valuable, but they lack time, focus, or marketing skill to make them shine.
That’s where you come in.
By bundling, repackaging, and managing the sale of these digital products, you become a digital merch manager—turning creators’ underutilized content into recurring revenue for them and for you.
You don’t need to create products yourself. You don’t even need a massive audience. Just systems, strategy, and smart outreach.
Step-by-Step: How to Launch Your Digital Product Bundling Business
Step 1: Identify Your Ideal Creator Clients
Look for creators who:
Have some digital products (even if just one)
Don’t actively promote them
Have engaged audiences
Want more passive income but don’t have time to build funnels
Start with:
Coaches (life, fitness, business)
Digital artists & designers
Authors or course creators
Niche influencers (finance, health, productivity)
Search on platforms like Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, Gumroad, and Podia. Use DMs or email to reach out and ask:
“Do you have ebooks, templates, or digital products just sitting around? I help creators turn those into income by bundling, promoting, and selling them for you—hands-free.”
Step 2: Structure the Offer
There are a few models you can use:
Flat fee per project (e.g., $500–$1,500 to build and launch a bundle)
Revenue share (20–50% of each sale)
Hybrid (small setup fee + recurring commission)
Offer to:
Organize their products
Design a bundle or themed package (e.g., "The Ultimate Productivity Toolkit")
Create mockups, sales pages, and checkout
Run their Gumroad or Shopify store
Market it through email and social media
Step 3: Build the Product Bundle
Use tools like:
Canva Pro – for visuals, mockups, and promo banners
Gumroad / Payhip – simple digital checkout platforms
ThriveCart – for advanced funnels
Google Drive or Dropbox – for content organization
Your job is to:
Combine related products
Write copy that sells
Set pricing tiers (standard vs. premium)
Set up delivery automation
Even a bundle of 3 old products can be made into a new, fresh $47–$97 offer.

Step 4: Handle Promotion Like a Pro
You’re not just bundling — you’re selling. Offer marketing as part of your service.
Create Instagram Reels and TikToks announcing the bundle
Write launch emails to their list
Partner with affiliate creators to promote the bundle
Use AI tools like ChatGPT or Jasper to write emails, posts, and landing page copy
Your goal: generate enough initial traction that your client sees real income fast. This turns one-time gigs into recurring deals.
Step 5: Systematize and Scale
Once you’ve launched 2–3 bundles successfully:
Build a template process (Notion or Google Docs SOP)
Create a portfolio site with examples
Offer retainers to creators to manage monthly promos
Hire a VA to assist with design, posting, or customer support
With systems in place, you can handle 5–10 clients at once, each generating hundreds or thousands of dollars monthly—with minimal extra work from you.
Estimated Monthly Income Potential
Revenue Stream | Monthly Potential |
---|---|
5 Bundles @ $1,000 Profit Each | $5,000 |
3 Clients on Revenue Share Deals | $2,000–$4,000 |
Upsells (email writing, mockups) | $500–$1,500 |
💰 Total: $5,500 – $10,500+/month
And the best part? Most creators don’t know this kind of help even exists.

Summary: You’re Not Selling Products — You’re Selling Passive Profit
Starting a digital product bundling business is like digital flipping for creators. You help them take content that’s gathering digital dust and turn it into clean, cohesive, high-value offers that sell—without creating anything new.
Here’s how to succeed:
Find creators with products but no time
Repackage and relaunch smartly
Handle marketing, not just bundling
Systematize and scale with tools and a VA
Charge well—because this saves them time AND makes them money
This isn’t just a side hustle. It’s a modern service business built on helping creators monetize what they already have.
