How I Made £300+ a month Selling My Notes Online PT.1

If you’re thinking about selling your revision notes on Study Climb, you’re in the right place. As a seller, I’ve found that small, thoughtful changes can make a huge difference, not just in how many people view your notes, but how many actually buy them.

Here are the key things I did to grow my sales and build trust with buyers 👇

📚 1. Create Complete Sets, Not Random Notes

Instead of uploading one or two disconnected topics, I built full collections for Paper 1 and Paper 2. Buyers love consistency and they’re more likely to buy bundles if they know all the topics are covered in one place.

🛒 Bonus: I offered a discount when someone bought the full Paper 1 set of essay plans, making it more appealing than buying them individually.

✅ 2. Make Your Notes User-Friendly

I didn’t assume buyers would understand my shorthand or class-specific layout. I took time to format my notes clearly, structure my essay plans, and use labels like Argument, Counterargument, and Conclusion so any student, from any school or exam board, could use them confidently.

🔎 3. Write SEO-Optimised Captions

This one’s a game changer. I made sure my product captions included:

• Subject
• Exam board
• Level (e.g., A-Level or GCSE)
• Specific topic (e.g., “Gender Roles in An Inspector Calls”)

These keywords helped Google and Study Climb search pick up my notes meaning more buyers could find them organically.

I also used universal terms like “argument” and “evaluation” to make my notes flexible for a wider audience.

👀 4. Show a Clear Preview

Buyers need to see what they’re getting before they click “buy.” I uploaded clean previews of 1–2 pages from each product — just enough to show the layout, structure, and quality without giving away the full content.

🧠 Tip: Choose your best-looking pages as the preview as this builds trust.

🏷️ 5. Add Key Info in Your Title

I always included the:

• Exam board (e.g., AQA, Edexcel)
• Subject/topic (e.g., English Literature – Macbeth)
• Level (e.g., A-Level or GCSE)

This made it instantly clear who the notes were for.
