Here’s a question most creators struggle to answer:

How do you make money without launching every single month?

Most creators are stuck in what I call the “launch treadmill”:

Build a product → Launch with hype → Make some sales → Sales stop → Launch again.

Every revenue spike requires a new launch.

Every month feels like starting over.

You can’t take a break without income dropping to zero.

This isn’t a business. It’s a job where you’re constantly selling just to keep the lights on.

But there’s a better way.

What if your content could sell for you…. even when you’re not launching?

What if someone could discover you today, join your list, and buy your product... without you doing anything?

That’s exactly what I built. And it’s working.

Today, I’m going to show you the exact system I use: AI-powered automation + a 6-email sequence that converts on autopilot.

No ads. No complicated funnels.

Just a lean evergreen loop that brings in revenue 24/7.

Let’s break it down.

---

The Launch Treadmill: You’re Trading Time for Money (Again)

Let me be blunt about what I see happening to most creators:

They’re building a job, not a business.

Here’s the cycle they’re trapped in:

• Build a product

• Launch with hype

• Make some sales

• Sales stop

• Launch again

Every revenue spike requires a new launch. Every month, you’re starting from zero. You’re constantly promoting, constantly selling, constantly showing up.

And if you stop? The income stops too.

The emotional cost of this treadmill:

• Burnout from constant promotion - You feel like you’re always “on,” always selling

• Anxiety about “what do I sell next?” - There’s no breathing room between launches

• Feeling like you’re annoying your audience - Every post feels like a pitch

• Never getting ahead - You’re always restarting instead of compounding

I lived this for months. I’d launch something, get a few sales, feel good for a week... then watch it dry up. So I’d scramble to create something new, build hype again, and repeat.

It was exhausting. And unsustainable.

That’s when I asked myself a different question:

“What if my content could sell for me even when I’m not launching? What if someone could discover me today, join my list, and buy my product... without me doing anything?”

That question changed everything.

Because I realized I didn’t need to launch harder. I needed to build a system that worked while I slept.

That’s when I started building what I now call the Evergreen Sales Loop.

---

The Evergreen Sales Loop: Build It Once, Let It Run Forever

Here’s the shift that changed my business:

An evergreen system brings in new people, nurtures them with value, and presents your offer automatically. Over and over. Without you lifting a finger.

No more launching every month. No more starting from zero.

Just a simple loop that runs 24/7.

Let me show you how it works.

The 4-Step Evergreen Loop

Content (Discovery)
↓
Lead Magnet (Capture)
↓
Email Sequence (Nurture)
↓
Product Sale (Convert)

Simple, right?

But let me break down exactly what each step does:

---

Step 1: Discovery Content

You create posts on X, LinkedIn, or Substack that solve real problems for your audience.

These aren’t “buy my course” posts. They’re helpful content with a simple call-to-action pointing to your lead magnet.

Example from my system:

I write threads about AI and digital products.

At the end, I include: “Want my full system? Grab my creator launch kit.” That link goes to a lead magnet.

That’s it.

No pressure.

Just value + a clear next step.

---

Step 2: Lead Magnet

A free resource that delivers immediate value in exchange for an email address.

If you want a deep, in-depth guide about Lead Magnet, here you go.

This could be:

• A guide or checklist

• A template or swipe file

• A mini-course

• A Notion system

Example from my system:

My lead magnet is a mini course: The Creator Launch Kit.

People want it. They opt in.

Now I have their email… and permission to help them further.

---

Step 3: Email Sequence (The Magic)

This is where the real work happens… but here’s the beautiful part:

You build it once, and it runs forever.

An automated 6-email sequence that:

• Delivers the free value you promised

• Builds trust and authority through your story

• Introduces the paid product naturally

• Handles objections

• Closes the sale

Example from my system:

Once someone gets my mini course, The Creator Launch Kit, they enter a 6-email sequence. Over 5 days, they get value, learn my story, see the problem my product solves, and get an offer to buy.

Some buy. Some don’t. But the system handles it all automatically.

---

Step 4: The Product Sale

Some people buy. Some don’t.

• Those who buy get onboarded and can be upsold to other offers later

• Those who don’t stay on your regular newsletter list and remain warm for future launches

The beauty of this system?

This isn’t a “launch.” It’s a system.

Every day, new people discover my content.
Every day, new people join my list.
Every day, new people go through the sequence.
Every day, some of them buy.

I’m not pushing. I’m not hustling. The system does the work.

---

And here’s where it gets even better:

AI makes building this system 10x easier and faster than it used to be.

What used to take me months to create… writing 6 emails, crafting a lead magnet, planning content… now takes days.

Let me show you exactly how AI powers every step of this loop.

---

AI Does the Heavy Lifting

Here’s the thing: this system used to take weeks to build.

Writing 6 emails? Hours of staring at a blank screen.
Creating a lead magnet? Days of outlining and drafting.
Planning content hooks? Endless trial and error.

Now? AI writes the first draft in 10 minutes.

But here’s what most people get wrong: they treat AI like a simple text generator. They throw in a vague prompt and get generic garbage back.

I use a different approach…. one that gives AI deep context about my business, my audience, and my offers.

Let me show you my exact workflow using Claude Projects.

---

My AI-Powered Workflow (Using Claude Projects)

Step 0: Set Up Your Claude Project (The Foundation)

Before you write anything, create a Claude Project and load it with context.

Think of this as giving AI your entire brand brain.

Here’s what I add to my Claude Project:

1. Brand Document

A document that includes:

• Your brand mission and positioning

• Your target audience (who you serve and their pain points)

• Your unique approach or philosophy

• Your tone and voice guidelines

• Your core offers and products

This ensures every output sounds like you, not generic AI.

2. Product/Course Outline with Lesson Descriptions

Upload your actual product structure:

• Module/lesson breakdown

• Learning outcomes for each section

• Key frameworks or systems you teach

• Transformation journey you’re guiding people through

This gives Claude context on what you’re selling and why it matters.

3. Bonus:

Add this Post as a PDF [Why Your Lead Magnet Isn’t Converting (And How to Fix It)]

Why Your Lead Magnet Isn't Converting (And How to Fix It)

Because it contains frameworks, case studies, and proven approaches that help Claude understand what makes a lead magnet actually convert.

Pro tip: To convert any web page to PDF, just open it in your browser, hit Print → Save as PDF. Takes 10 seconds.

Once your Claude Project is loaded with this context, every prompt you run will be informed by your brand, your product, and your proven strategies.

Now let’s build the system.

---

Step 1: AI Writes Your Lead Magnet

With your Claude Project set up, you’re ready to create a lead magnet that actually converts.

Here’s the prompt I use:

You are a lead magnet strategist helping me create a high-converting free resource.

Based on the brand document and product outline in this project, suggest 5 lead magnet ideas that:

1. Solve an urgent, specific problem my target audience has

2. Align naturally with my paid product (acts as a bridge to the sale)

3. Can be delivered quickly (PDF, checklist, template, or mini-guide)

4. Demonstrate my expertise and unique approach

5. Are simple enough to consume in under 15 minutes

For each idea, include:

- Lead magnet title

- The problem it solves

- Why it’s a bridge to my paid offer

- Format (PDF guide, checklist, template, etc.)

- Estimated time to create

Reference the frameworks in the lead magnet conversion post (uploaded PDF) to ensure these ideas follow proven conversion principles.

What happens next:

Claude analyzes your brand, your product, and your audience… then gives you 5 tailored lead magnet ideas.

You pick one. Then you ask Claude to create it:

Great! I want to move forward with [lead magnet idea #X].

Please create a full outline for this lead magnet, including:

- Hook/opening that captures attention

- 3-5 main sections with actionable takeaways

- Clear next step/CTA at the end that bridges to my paid product

Keep it concise, valuable, and aligned with my brand voice.

Result?

You get a complete lead magnet outline in minutes. Add your personal examples and insights, format it in Canva or Google Docs, and you’re done.

Total time: 30-45 minutes instead of days.

---

Step 2: AI Writes Your 6-Email Sequence (One Email at a Time)

Now that you have your lead magnet, it’s time to build the sequence that sells.

Here’s where most people mess up: they ask AI to write all 6 emails at once and get a generic, robotic sequence.

Instead, I create one email at a time…giving Claude feedback and context as we go.

Here’s the prompt for Email 1:

You are an email copywriter helping me create a nurture sequence that sells my digital product.

Based on the brand document, product outline, and lead magnet context in this project, write Email 1 of my 6-email sequence.

**Email 1 Goal:** Deliver the lead magnet and introduce myself

**Structure:**

- Subject line (curiosity-driven, benefit-focused)

- Warm opening that acknowledges what they just downloaded

- Deliver the lead magnet (with download link placeholder)

- Brief introduction: who I am and why I created this

- Tease what’s coming next in the sequence

- Close with a personal sign-off

**Tone:** Conversational, helpful, not salesy. I’m building trust, not pitching yet.

Write this email in my brand voice (reference brand document). Keep it under 250 words.

Once you approve Email 1, move to Email 2:

Perfect. Now write Email 2 of the sequence.

**Email 2 Goal:** Share my story and build authority

**Structure:**

- Subject line (personal, relatable)

- Open with a relatable struggle or turning point in my journey

- Share how I went from [problem state] to [success state]

- Connect my story to the problem they’re trying to solve

- Tease tomorrow’s email: “Tomorrow, I’ll show you the #1 mistake most people make with [topic]”

- Personal sign-off

**Tone:** Authentic, vulnerable, inspiring. Make them feel like I’ve been where they are.

Keep it under 300 words.

Continue this process for all 6 emails:

• Email 3: Highlight the problem (make them aware)

• Email 4: Solve a piece of it (show your expertise)

• Email 5: Present the full solution (your product)

• Email 6: Social proof + final invitation

Why this approach works:

By creating one email at a time, you can:

• Refine the messaging at each stage

• Ensure the sequence flows naturally

• Add your personal touches to each email

• Maintain your authentic voice throughout

Total time: 1-2 hours for all 6 emails.

Bonus: AI Generates Content Ideas to Promote Your System

Once your lead magnet and email sequence are ready, you need content to feed the loop.

Here’s the prompt I use to generate promotional content ideas:

You are a content strategist helping me create promotional content for my lead magnet and digital product.

Based on the brand document, product outline, and lead magnet in this project, generate:

1. **5 newsletter topics** that naturally lead to my lead magnet

   - Include: Title, hook, key points, and how it connects to the lead magnet

2. **5 X/Twitter thread ideas** that drive traffic to my lead magnet

   - Include: Opening hook, 3-5 thread points, and CTA

3. **5 LinkedIn post ideas** that position me as an authority and promote my lead magnet

   - Include: Opening line, main insight, and CTA

For each piece of content:

- Make it valuable on its own (not just a pitch)

- Include a natural, non-pushy CTA to the lead magnet

- Align with my brand voice and philosophy

Focus on educational content that solves real problems while positioning my lead magnet as the next logical step.

What you get:

15 ready-to-use content ideas that promote your lead magnet and course—without sounding salesy.

You’re giving value first, then inviting people into your system.

The System in Action

Here’s what this looks like in practice:

Step 1: Set up Claude Project with brand docs and product outline
↓
Step 2: Use AI to create lead magnet (30-45 minutes)
↓
Step 3: Use AI to write 6-email sequence (1-2 hours)
↓
Step 4: Use AI to generate promotional content ideas.
↓
Step 5: Post content on X, LinkedIn, Substack with CTA to lead magnet
↓
Someone discovers your content → opts in → enters sequence → buys
↓
System runs on autopilot while you create more content

That’s the power of combining AI + evergreen systems.

You build it once.

AI helps you build it fast.

Then it runs 24/7.

---

What This Actually Creates

Let’s talk about what matters and what it can actually brings:

1. Freedom

I can take a week off, and sales still happen. I’m not trapped on the launch treadmill anymore.

2. Predictability

I know roughly how much the system generates monthly. No more “feast or famine” income cycles.

3. Scalability

Every new piece of content I create feeds the loop. My time creates compounding value, not one-time spikes.

4. Leverage

My work keeps working. I built it once, and it continues to deliver results months later.

---

Your First Sale vs. Your System

Everything I just showed you?

That’s a part of the AI Digital Product Builder.

But here’s the thing: you can’t build this system if you don’t have the foundation first.

Let me explain.

---

The Complete Journey

The evergreen sales loop is powerful. But it only works if you have the right pieces in place:

1: Discover what skill to monetize and who to build for
→ Without clarity here, you’re building for the wrong audience with the wrong offer

2: Validate your idea before wasting time building
→ Proof that people will actually pay before you invest weeks creating

3: Build your product in a weekend using AI
→ The actual digital product that goes into your system

4: Write a landing page that converts
→ Your sales page needs to close the deal when traffic arrives

5: Launch with the Soft Launch Method
→ Your first sales and initial momentum to prove the concept

6: Automate everything with the evergreen loop (what we just covered)
→ Turn your launch into a system that runs 24/7

See the sequence?

Each part builds on the last. You can’t automate sales if you don’t have a product. You can’t build a product if you haven’t validated the idea. You can’t validate if you don’t know your audience.

It’s a roadmap, not a collection of random tactics.
