If you build automations with tools like Make.com, n8n, Zapier, or Pipedream, you’ve probably noticed that the same workflows get rebuilt for different clients over and over.
Good news: you can sell those workflows as digital assets.
Here’s the short version of how to do it.
✅ 1. Pick Reusable Workflows
Good candidates are workflows that:
- solve a common problem
- aren’t tied to a single client
- can be imported and adapted
Examples: lead routing, CRM enrichment, AI-powered replies, onboarding flows, scheduling, reporting, Slack bots.
🧾 2. Export & Document
A simple export + short README is enough:
- what it does
- setup steps
- required accounts/API keys
- optional modifications
No heavy docs needed — clarity matters more.
🎯 3. Choose a Buyer
Workflows usually sell to:
- founders (want ready-to-use ops)
- agencies (want reuse rights)
- developers (want patterns)
Knowing your buyer helps with pricing.
💰 4. Price It Simply
Common models:
- one-time purchase (easy)
- license for agencies
- reuse rights for client work
Start simple: one-time download works best.
🛒 5. Sell Where Buyers Already Are
Right now your options are:
- your own store (Gumroad, Lemonsqueezy)
- generic marketplaces (not great for automations)
- automation-focused marketplaces
Example of a focused one:

(basically a “Gumroad for automation workflows”)
🏁 Final Thought
Workflows are just reusable logic that saves time.
If it saves someone hours, it has value — and can be sold like any digital asset.
If you’re already building automations, you might as well get paid twice: once for the client, and once for the template.
