Let’s be real for a sec:
The internet is full of weird stuff.
Like… really weird.
You’ve seen it:
- A website that sells “vintage ghost photos”
- A toy that screams when you look at it
- A video of a raccoon wearing socks
- A T-shirt that says “I survived my own thoughts”
And you know what? People are buying it.
Not just buying it — they’re obsessed with it.
So today, I’m not here to push you into another saturated niche like “planners” or “minimalist wall art.”
Nah.
I’m here to show you 8 delightfully strange, oddly specific, and surprisingly profitable digital products that real people are selling right now — and how you can create your own version (even if you’ve never designed anything before).
Grab your favorite drink. Let’s dive in.
1. Weird Stickers (Yes, People Buy These by the Thousands)
Ever been to Itzy Ritzy or scrolled Etsy and seen sticker packs with things like:
- “I’m not lazy, I’m in energy-saving mode”
- A smiling skull holding a latte
- “My therapist says I’m doing great (she’s lying)”
Yeah. Those.
These aren’t just for laptops — they’re emotional armor for people who want to say “I’m weird, and I own it.”
Real example: One seller on Etsy has a pack called “Goth Grandma Vibes” — think cats in coffins, haunted teacups, “RIP My Social Battery.”
It’s been in 200+ carts this month alone.
How to make your own:
- Option 1: Grab ready-made sticker bundles from Creative Fabrica (they give you 10 free downloads when you sign up — even full packs!).
- Option 2: Use Recraft.ai + a prompt like:“Create a set of 6 weird stickers in linocut style: ghost on roller skates, cat with three eyes, ‘I survived another meeting that should’ve been an email’”
Boom. You’ve got a product. Upload to Etsy. Done.

2. Haunting Wall Art (For People Who Want Their Home to Feel Like a Haunted B&B)
Not everyone wants cozy farmhouse decor.
Some folks want their living room to feel like the Overlook Hotel… but make it cute.
like these
Think:
- “Welcome to My Haunted House” signs
- Vintage-style portraits of “ghost ancestors”
- “Beware of the Dog (He’s a Demon)” prints
These sell like crazy around Halloween… but also year-round to horror lovers, goths, and people who just really hate beige.
Pro tip: Use MidJourney or Recraft.ai to generate “vintage haunted portrait” images.
Add a spooky frame in Canva.
Sell as instant downloads on Etsy.
One creator made $1,200 in October just from a “Haunted Library” print series.
3. Zombie-Themed Digital Products (Beyond Just T-Shirts)
If you love The Walking Dead or 28 Days Later, you’re not alone.
And fans don’t just want merch — they want experiences.
like these
Here’s the cool part:
You can offer custom zombie portraits.
How it works:
- Customer sends you a photo of themselves (or their dog, or their grandma)
- You use AI to turn them into a zombie version
- Deliver a high-res digital file they can print, frame, or share
Where to sell it:
- Etsy (“Custom Zombie Portrait – Digital Download”)
- Fiverr (“I’ll turn your photo into a zombie in 24 hours”)
- Instagram (post before/after reels → link in bio)
One Fiverr seller charges $15 per portrait.
Does 5–10 a week.
That’s $300–$600/month for 2 hours of work.
4. “Weird Purpose” Mini-Courses (Because Everyone Has a Niche Problem)
You don’t need to teach “how to make money.”
You can teach “how to write a joke that doesn’t flop at family dinner.”
Yes, really.
People will pay for hyper-specific help, especially if it’s fun.
Examples of weird-but-profitable courses:
- “How to Survive Small Talk at Weddings”
- “Tarot for Overthinkers”
- “How to Name Your Pet Rock (And Mean It)”
Platform: Use Podia, Teachable, or even Gumroad.
Price: $7–$29.
Promote in Facebook groups or TikTok.
One coach made a $12 course called “How to Ghost Someone Nicely” — sold 400 copies in 2 weeks.
5. Animals in Absurd Situations (The Internet’s Favorite Content)
Cats in astronaut suits.
Dogs driving tiny cars.
Hamsters running Fortune 500 companies.
This isn’t just meme fodder — it’s merch gold.
Use AI to generate:
- “A pug wearing a crown, sitting on a throne of tennis balls”
- “A raccoon DJing at a forest rave”
Then turn them into:
- Sticker packs
- Printable wall art
- T-shirt designs (via Printful or Merch by Amazon)
Why it works: It’s shareable, emotional, and nostalgic — all at once.
6. Horror-Themed Mockups (To Make Your Products Look Spooktacular)
Selling a digital planner? A meditation app? A ghost-hunting checklist?
Don’t show it on a boring white background.
Use horror mockups to make it pop:
- Your app on a cracked phone screen in a dark forest
- Your ebook on a dusty bookshelf next to a skull
- Your T-shirt design on a mannequin in a haunted mansion
Find these on Creative Fabrica or Envato Elements.
They make your product look premium, thematic, and scroll-stopping.

7. Dream Interpretation Journals (For the Mystics & the Sleep-Deprived)
Not everyone dreams of flying.
Some dream of teeth falling out, being chased, or showing up to work naked.
And they want to understand why.
Create a beautiful digital journal with:
- Prompts: “What emotion did you feel?”
- Symbol decoder: “Water = emotions, Snakes = transformation”
- Space to sketch nightmare scenes
Sell it to:
- Tarot readers
- Therapy clients
- People with insomnia
One seller on Etsy calls hers “Nightmare Decoder Journal” — averages 50 sales/month at $9.
🎯 Final Thought: Weird = Wonderful (And Profitable)
Here’s the truth no one tells you:
You don’t need to chase “what’s trending.”
You just need to serve one weird, passionate, underserved group — really well.
The internet is big enough for goth grandma stickers, zombie portraits, and dream journals.
In fact… it’s hungry for them.
So stop trying to be “normal.”
Lean into your weird.
Find your tribe.
Build something only you would think of.
Because the most profitable niches aren’t the biggest…
They’re the ones where people feel seen.
