Why This Works (Scaling Math Included)
PDF farming = making helpful, printable documents people want to download (like planners, trackers, guides), then selling them over and over again on marketplaces like Etsy or Gumroad.
Here’s why it works:
AI can now create 90% of the work (you just guide it).
People love ready-to-use templates — especially in growing niches (ADHD, budgeting, fitness).
It costs you nothing to make once and can sell 1000x.
Printable planners and templates keep trending ↑ – Etsy search volume for “digital planner” is up 200 % since Q1 2025.
Example:
Average Etsy/Gumroad printable selling price: $9–$19.
One polished listing can move 50–150 units a month once it hits page‑one search and a couple of Pinterest pins or TikTok reels land.
Stack 4–6 related PDFs (planner + tracker + checklist). Bundle them at $29–$39.
75 bundle sales x $29 ≈ $2 175/mo.
Add upsells (editable Canva file; commercial‑use license) → $3 K+ without extra traffic.
Short version: you lift revenue by multiplying SKUs and raising average order value, not by chasing viral volume.
🔍 Mini case study: On Etsy, a digital ADHD planner sold 7,901 copies at $6.50 — that's $51,000+ for a single file.
