Low Bar Podcast We Tried the PDF Business Everyone’s Talking About — Ep. 3
Everyone online is suddenly selling PDFs and calling it “digital dropshipping.”
Supposedly, people are making $4,000 a day selling AI written guides, Notion templates, and checklists. So we decided to pull it apart and see what’s actually real.
Ben and Jon break down how this trend started, who’s really making money, and why “digital dropshipping” is just the same old info business wearing new clothes. They build and price out their own PDF products live, debate if the margins are worth the hype, and pick which idea they’d actually launch to test it.
No fluff, no gurus, no screenshots of Stripe accounts — just two operators figuring out if this new wave of online business is legit or nonsense.
Business is simple. People are lazy.
