It started with a challenge. Not from a friend. Not from a coach. But from myself. I wanted to test one thing: Could I launch 5,000 ready-to-sell digital products in a single weekend?
I had something that could make it happen: a massive MRR/PLR bundle from Earnera.co.
The bundle contains over 5,000 digital products eBooks, courses, templates, you name it.
No fluff. No filler. Product after product waiting for a home. Some have resale rights, while some are fully editable. All ready to go.
Here’s what happened:
Friday, 8 PM – The Setup
I downloaded the bundle. It was huge. Over 40 GB of zip files. Categorized folders. PDFs. Word docs. PowerPoints. MP4s. PSDs. HTML sales pages. It felt like opening a digital vault. I started unzipping files.
My computer fan kicked in like a jet engine. The folder tree kept expanding. There were hundreds of product folders. Each had subfolders for marketing materials, licenses, and source files.
This was nothing short of a sprawling digital product empire in a box. I made a plan: sort, upload, launch, repeat. No time to waste on perfection. The priority is speedy task completion.
Friday, 11 PM – First Win
By now, I had uploaded 10 products to Gumroad. Each one had a sales page, a cover image, and a download link. Some were eBooks. Others were video courses. One was a PLR Canva template pack.
I shared the links on Twitter and LinkedIn. No paid ads. Just hustle. First sale came in at 11:30 PM. A $13 eBook. Not yet life-changing. But it meant one thing: evidence of things to come. I kept striving.
Saturday, 2 AM – Automation
My back was starting to ache, and my eyes were blurry. Signs of fatigue. That’s when I realized I needed a complement for manual work.
So I built a system that brought in automation. I connected a spreadsheet to Zapier. Now, when I added a new product, it automatically pulled in the title, description, and download link. If the product came with pre-written sales copy, it was auto-populated into my template. That alone saved me hours.
I manually rewrote some blurbs, added keywords, and cleaned up headlines. By now, I had 59 products live. No two were the same. Each had a different angle. This was certainly a rich library of business products.
Saturday, 8 AM – Further Sales
I passed out around 4:30 AM. Woke up at 8:00 AM to check my dashboard. Six sales. Total: $78. That’s double the cost of the bundle. I’ve now broken even and moved into profit territory. Wow! Earnera was turning out to be a wise investment.
The sales were coming from random tweets and Facebook group posts. No ads. No email list. Just traffic from hustle. I ate breakfast while uploading more products.
Saturday, 12 PM – Scaling Attempts
I wanted more speed, so I tried batch uploading. I opened five tabs each with a different marketplace: Gumroad, Payhip, Shopify, Etsy, and WarriorPlus. Copy, paste, upload. Next.
It was faster than doing one product at a time, but still not fast enough. Forget uploading all 5,000 in one weekend. My back ached even more, and my eyes burned from staring at the screen too long. Scaling seemed impossible without burning out.
Saturday, 4 PM – Landing Page
I created a “Digital Product Superstore” landing page using Carrd and linked every product from there, according to niche. Then I posted in a few Reddit threads, shared in a Telegram side hustle group, and commented on relevant YouTube videos. Traffic trickled in. By 4:45 PM, I had my first $49 sale from a single product, a PLR coaching course.
Saturday, 9 PM – Digital Storefronts
By now, I had over 180 products live across platforms. Mentally, I was fried. But I learned how to move faster. I used Notion to manage my workflow and Zapier to send automated emails. Canva helped tweak product covers in bulk. I was no longer launching products. I was building digital storefronts. And each one could sell over and over again.
Sunday, 9 AM – Sales Spike
I woke up to 24 more sales. One buyer messaged me and asked if I had more business eBooks. I sent them a link to my Gumroad collection. They bought three more. New insight: Some people don’t want one product. They want bundles.
So I started bundling. I grouped similar products, bonus checklists, and labelled them “Toolkits.” Their perceived value went up. So did their prices. For example, instead of $9, I charged $27. They sold faster.
Sunday, 2 PM – Marketplace Momentum
A few of my listings got picked up by Payhip’s trending section, boosting traffic. More people started visiting my Gumroad profile. I began seeing repeat customers.
Some asked if I had an email list. I told them I didn’t have one yet. However, I added an opt-in form using ConvertKit. At this early stage, my business was experiencing the flywheel effect.
Sunday, 8 PM – Final Stats
I didn’t reach my original goal of launching 5,000 ready-to-sell digital products in a weekend. But here are the key highlights:
187 products launched
62 total sales
$470 in revenue
$0 spent on ads
Dozens of new insights
A system I can now rinse and repeat
What I have Learned When Launching Ready-to-Sell Digital Products
Speedy task completion beats perfectionism. Some listings were messy. They still sold.
MRR/PLR works when you turn it into action, not just inventory.
Grouping products into bundles (with bonuses) naturally boosts your revenue.
The earning potential is insane. I barely scratched the surface.
Working with a computer all through a weekend can be mentally and physically demanding.
Final Thought: This Is Just the Beginning
If I had more than a weekend, I could double those results. Why? Because I don’t need to make new products. They’re already made.
I just need to launch, promote, and share. And the best part? There are still 4,800+ products I haven’t even touched from the awesome MRR/PLR bundle from Earnera.co.
So if you’re looking to start a side hustle or main business. If you want to create multiple income streams. If you want to build a digital storefront without creating anything from scratch. Then start where I did. Start with Earnera Co.
FAQ Section
1. What is an MRR/PLR bundle?
MRR (Master Resell Rights) and PLR (Private Label Rights) bundles are collections of digital products like eBooks, courses, templates, and graphics that come with resale licenses. You can sell them as they are or edit them to fit your brand.
2. Can I really launch thousands of products in a short time?
It’s possible to launch hundreds of products in a weekend, but uploading 5,000 individually is not realistic without automation and a team. The key is building systems and scaling gradually, as shown in the case study.
3. Do I need to create new content myself?
No. With PLR and MRR products, the content is already created. You only need to rebrand, package, and promote it. This makes it a fast way to start an online business without starting from scratch.
4. How do I sell these digital products online?
You can sell them on platforms like Gumroad, Payhip, Shopify, Etsy, and WarriorPlus. You can also create your own landing page or online storefront to showcase your collection.
5. Is it legal to resell PLR and MRR products?
Yes, as long as you follow the licensing terms included with the products. Some allow resale, some allow rebranding, while others may restrict certain uses. Always check the license before selling.
