The MicroFixes Method: Turn Simple PDFs Into Consistent Income in 7 Days
Most “make money online” advice is broken.
They tell you to build an audience for 12 months. Create a $2,000 course. Run expensive ads. Build complex funnels.
Meanwhile, people are making $400600 per week selling simple onepage PDFs for $3.
No advertising budget. No existing followers. No complicated tech setup.
This is the MicroFixes method—and it works because it flips conventional wisdom on its head.
The Problem With Traditional Online Business Advice
“Build your audience first” = 12 months before your first dollar
“Follow your passion” = Creating products nobody actually wants
“Launch a highticket course” = Months of work, complex funnels, zero sales
The MicroFixes approach is different:
Start earning within 7 days of your first product
Sell where audiences already exist (no audience building required)
Create products in 23 hours (not months)
Price at $3$7 (impulse purchases, no “thinking it over”)
Why $3 Products Can Make More Than $97 Courses
Sounds counterintuitive, right?
Here’s the math:
Traditional approach:
$97 course × 5 sales per month = $485/month = trying to convince people to spend $97
MicroFixes approach:
$3 product × 5 sales per day × 30 days = $450/month from ONE product
Add 4 more products = $2,250/month
Add bundles at $1220 = $3,000+/month
The psychology is simple:
At $3, people don’t deliberate. They don’t “think about it.” They don’t ask their spouse.
They just buy.
And when they buy once and it solves their problem? They buy your other products too.
Real Case Study: $87 in 7 Days (Zero Ad Spend)
Sarah had never sold anything online.
She noticed dog owners asking the same question repeatedly in an online community: “My dog freaks out during thunderstorms. I’ve tried everything. What am I missing?”
What she did:
Spent 2.5 hours creating a onepage checklist
Listed 12 methods for calming anxious dogs during storms
Ranked them by effectiveness (try this first, then this, then this)
Priced it at $3
Posted helpful answers in the community, casually mentioned her checklist
Results:
29 sales in first 7 days
$87 revenue (before platform fees)
$0 spent on advertising
Zero followers when she started
People didn’t buy because it was revolutionary. They bought because it was:
Organized (all solutions in one place)
Complete (nothing left to Google)
Cheap (literally less than coffee)
Immediate (solved their problem today, not “someday”)
Sarah now has 5 dogrelated products and makes $300400/week.
What Makes a Product Sell at $3?
Not all problems work for this model. The best MicroFixes solve problems that are:
1. Specific, not broad
❌ “How to be productive”
✅ “Meeting notes template for ADHD professionals”
2. Urgent, not theoretical
❌ “How to plan your career”
✅ “What to say when a client ghosts you after seeing your rate”
3. Repeatedly Googled, poorly answered
If people are asking the same question daily and the top results are incomplete, outdated, or overcomplicated—that’s your opportunity.
4. Solvable in 13 pages
If you need 20 pages to explain it, it’s too complex. The best MicroFixes are simple, fast, actionable.
The Three Elements Every Successful MicroFix Has
After analyzing hundreds of $3$7 products that consistently sell, they all have three things:
1. Validated Demand
You’re not guessing what people want. You’re finding problems people are actively complaining about right now.
(There are three specific methods for finding these problems—one takes 10 minutes and most people completely ignore this goldmine. The full guide covers all three with exact platforms and search techniques.)
2. Dead Simple Format
No fancy design. No complex explanations. Just:
Checklists (for stepbystep processes)
Templates (for things people create repeatedly)
Miniguides (for explaining why something fails and exactly how to fix it)
Pick one format, fill it in, export to PDF. Done.
3. Frictionless Distribution
You’re not building a website. You’re not creating a sales funnel.
You’re showing up where your exact audience already hangs out, providing genuine help, and letting them come to you.
(The full guide includes the exact approach for three platforms—including the specific posting templates and reply formulas that convert strangers into buyers.)
What You Need to Start (Hint: It’s Less Than You Think)
You DON’T need:
- Existing audience or email list
- Professional design skills
- Technical expertise or coding knowledge
- Advertising budget
- Months of preparation
- Business experience
You DO need:
- 23 hours to create your first product
- One problem you’ve personally solved (or seen others struggle with)
- Basic ability to use Google Docs or Canva (both free)
- Willingness to be helpful in online communities
That’s it.
The Hidden Advantage of Starting Small
Most people overlook lowticket products because “$3 isn’t real money.”
But starting at $3 has massive advantages:
You build proof fast
10 sales in your first week proves the concept. Try getting 10 sales of a $500 course in week one.
You get reviews quickly
At $3, people leave reviews. Good reviews = social proof = more sales = compound growth.
You learn what sells
Instead of spending 3 months creating one big course that might flop, you test 5 small products in 3 weeks and double down on what works.
You create repeat buyers
Someone who buys your $3 product and gets value? They’ll buy your $7 bundle. Then your $20 bundle. Then your $97 product (if you decide to create one).
You sleep better
Making $300/week from 15 products that sell on autopilot beats making $0/week from a course you’ve been “about to launch” for 6 months.
Common Questions (Answered Honestly)
“Can I really make $400/week selling $3 products?”
Yes, but not from one product.
The model is:
- Week 1: Launch product 1 → $50100/week
- Week 3: Have 3 products + first bundle → $150250/week
- Week 6: Have 5 products + 2 bundles → $300450/week
- Week 12: Have 810 products + multiple bundles → $400600/week
It’s not instant. It’s incremental. But it’s faster than any other method because you’re launching weekly, not “someday.”
“What if I’m not an expert at anything?”
You don’t need to be a worldclass expert.
You just need to be 23 steps ahead of your buyer.
If you’ve solved a problem once, you can document the solution and sell it to others facing the same issue.
Have you ever:
- Figured out a confusing software setting?
- Found a workflow that saves you time?
- Solved a common frustration in your job?
- Created a system for something repetitive?
That’s expertise enough.
“Won’t people expect more for their money?”
At $3, people’s expectations are calibrated differently.
They’re not expecting a comprehensive masterclass. They’re expecting a quick fix that saves them time.
One page that solves their problem beats a 50page ebook they’ll never read.
“How is this different from all the other ‘make money online’ advice?”
Most advice says: “Build this massive thing, then try to sell it.”
MicroFixes says: “Find what people are already buying (validated demand), make a tiny version of it, sell it today.”
Most advice requires months before your first dollar.
MicroFixes gets you paid within a week.
Most advice is theoretical.
MicroFixes is tactical here’s the problem, here’s the format, here’s where to post it, here’s what to say.

The Bottom Line
Making money online doesn’t require:
- A massive audience
- Expensive advertising
- Months of preparation
- Complex technical skills
It requires:
- Finding problems people actively struggle with
- Creating simple solutions
- Showing up where your people are
- Helping first, selling second
The MicroFixes method isn’t revolutionary.
It’s just the opposite of what most “gurus” teach—because simple, small, and fast doesn’t sound sexy enough to sell a $2,000 course about.
But it works.
- Eugene makes $300400/week selling dog training checklists.
- Mike makes $500/week selling freelance templates.
- Jenna makes $450/week selling productivity guides for night shift workers.
They all started with zero followers, zero budget, and zero experience.
They just found one problem, created one solution, and helped people.
Then did it again. And again.
Your move:
Which problem are you solving first?
