What makes a guide worth paying for?

It solves one clear problem, step by step. A guide to planning your first garden bed is easier to say yes to than one about gardening in general.

Write it in Google Docs, Canva or Notion, then save it as a PDF. End with a checklist so the reader can act the same day.

How do buyers get their guides?

Each buyer gets a link by email the moment payment goes through. It points to your PDF in Google Drive or Dropbox.

A Notion page works too. Publish it so anyone with the link can view it, then paste that link. Stakk sends the link and does not lock the page.

What can you add at checkout?

Turn the guide's steps into a one-page checklist and sell it as the order bump, on the same charge. The upsell is where a call with you fits: sell a coaching call as a product that sends your booking link.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between a guide and an ebook?

A guide shows how to do one thing, step by step. An ebook is often longer. See selling ebooks too.

Can I give a guide away for free?

Yes. A short free guide makes a good lead magnet, given in return for an email address.

Can teachers sell study guides?

Yes. A study guide, a lesson guide or a checklist can each be its own product.
