Kate Hayes · The Claude Canva Side Hustle That's Making People RICH ($35,955/mo) ↗
Use Claude for the writing and prompt content, and Canva for layout and design, to build simple, low-content books like guided journals, gratitude journals, or family-story prompt books, which can then be sold as a print-on-demand product.
The creator found a real, already-selling guided journal product doing close to $36,000 a month in revenue, then rebuilt a similar concept herself using AI tools instead of designing from scratch, to show how quickly a product like this can be put together.
Someone who wants a very low-cost, low-technical-skill way to test a print-on-demand product idea, particularly if they enjoy writing prompts, journaling formats, or simple layout work in Canva.
This is conceptually close to the already-published Amazon KDP coloring book entry, same low-content, AI-assisted, print-on-demand pattern, just applied to guided journals instead of coloring books. The $35,955/month figure in the title refers to an existing product she found and used as inspiration, not verified earnings from her own recreation of it, so it should be read as a market-demand signal, not a personal income claim.
