the weird world of ai digital sales

So, I got sucked into this rabbit hole about selling AI digital products. Honestly, I never saw myself going down this bizarre path, but here we are. I mean, I thought it was just about making things and putting them up online. But no, it’s like entering one of those escape rooms where nothing makes sense and the answer is always some obscure logic puzzle.

Anyway, apparently you can’t just slap ‘AI’ on something and expect it to fly off the virtual shelves. Nope. You need to do some detective work on what people actually need. Who knew? I mean, there are people selling AI-generated art and music. AI art, seriously, isn’t that just glorified doodles made by a computer hallucinating? And the music? It’s like those weird sci-fi soundtracks you’d hear in a remake of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Then there’s the whole process of defining your target audience, which sounds way more straightforward than it actually is. One minute, you’re convinced you’ve found your people; the next, you’re talking to folks who think AI is a type of ice cream.

Oh, and setting up shop isn’t just setting up a booth at the local flea market. You’re in a digital world where your display case is a website, and your signage is SEO. Fun things I never wanted to learn, like finding keywords and designing landing pages. I saw this post about these online trends and let me tell you, more than half of them I couldn’t even pronounce.

The whole idea of passive income sounds so enticing until you realize it’s neither passive nor instant. It’s like waiting for rain in a desert. Except you’re hoping people will buy an AI-generated sticker set featuring digital llamas with sunglasses.

My eyes still hurt. I need coffee. Ugh.
