Build and sell a fake Stripe screenshot (plus receipts and testimonials etc) that make people look richer, busier, or more viral than they really are.
Goal: Create a pack of fake receipts, dashboards, or a Stripe screenshot that people can use in reels, pranks, UGC, or parody brands
Tools Needed: Canva, Screenshot tools, FontSnatch, Reddit/TikTok
Skill Level: Beginner
Time Required: 1–2 hrs/day
Startup Cost: £0
Why the Fake Stripe Screenshot Hustle Works
Most of the internet is already fake. You’re just selling tools to play the game.
People want to go viral. Sell the props.
We’re talking:
- Fake Uber Eats receipts for TikTok stories
- Shopify dashboards showing £7,000 days
- “Spotify for Artists” fake streams pages
- A Stripe screenshot for an X creator
- iPhone lock screens with $1M crypto balances
- Even staged Instagram DMs from celebs
They’re used for skits. For memes. For reels.
You’ll also see creators all over socials using them as clout and proof.
You’re not scamming anyone. You’re selling the illusion tools.
And the best part?
You can design a fake Stripe screenshot in Canva in 15 minutes — and sell them forever.
Day 1: Choose Your Flex (And Who It’s For)
Today’s Goal:
Pick a niche or angle for your fake flex kit — and decide exactly what type of Stripe screenshot, receipts, or dashboards you’ll be creating (and who they’re for).
Why This Step Matters:
This hustle isn’t about creating one-off joke files.
It’s about building a pack of believable digital “props” people can use to create content, show off, or go viral.
But to sell the illusion, you need to:
- Pick a specific flex (wealth, fame, speed, mystery, etc)
- Understand who’s buying it (creators, UGC actors, meme accounts, pranksters)
- And design the visuals to match their tone
If it doesn’t feel authentic to the target buyer’s world — it won’t sell.
Today is about building the concept. Tomorrow, you’ll build the assets.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Pick a “Flex Category” to Specialize In
Here are 5 proven categories that get shared, used, and memed:
The Money Flex:
Fake Shopify dashboards, Paypal or Stripe screenshot, crypto balances, $97 Uber Eats orders
Buyers: meme pages, TikTok pranksters, “finance bro” parody creators
The Clout Flex:
Screenshots of viral tweets, influencer DMs, fake Spotify artist stats, fake blue checkmarks
Buyers: UGC creators, satirical content, TikTok actors, creators testing virality
The Relationship Flex:
Fake dating app convos, “crazy ex” texts, missed call logs, fake IG DMs from celebs
Buyers: meme pages, storytellers, viral reels creators, finsta chaos merchants
The Productivity / Discipline Flex:
Fake Notion dashboards, insane to-do lists, calendar screenshots showing 5am wakeups and 14-hour workdays
Buyers: aesthetic accounts, parody hustle bros, overachiever satire
The WTF / Chaos Flex:
Fake receipts for “18 iced lattes,” £1,000 vape orders, Uber trips to random places, bizarre group chat convos
Buyers: meme lords, niche weird-core creators, Reddit/Twitter shitposters
Pick one category. Don’t try to serve everyone. One good niche = more sales, faster builds, tighter visuals.
Step 2: Decide What Goes in Your Pack
Think in terms of value-per-pack. Here’s a good starter model:
- 6–10 fake screenshots
- Each one styled like a real app (Uber, Shopify, DMs, Apple Wallet)
- Optional: editable version + PDF version
- Optional bonus: TikTok script ideas or example captions
Make a list of at least 5 assets you want to include.
Example — Money Flex Pack:
- Shopify dashboard with £7.2k revenue
- PayPal payment from “Online Course Co.”
- Uber Eats £103 receipt
- Stripe weekly payout screenshot
- Apple Wallet fake balance with £999,999.99
Step 3: Define the Buyer Persona
Even if you’re selling it on Ko-fi or Etsy, write this like you’re building a character. Ask:
- Where do they post (TikTok, Reels, Reddit)?
- Are they serious, funny, ironic, or unhinged?
- Do they want to trick people — or entertain them?
- Would they want extras like captions or reels to go with it?
Once you know who you’re making this for, you’ll design way more intuitively tomorrow.
By the End of Today:
You should have:
- Chosen your niche (Money, Clout, Relationship, Productivity, or Chaos)
- Listed out 5+ fake assets you’ll include
- Written a one-paragraph “persona” describing who this pack is made for
Day 2: Build Your First 3 Flex Files
Today’s Goal:
Create your first 3 fake flex assets — believable, brand-consistent, and screenshot-ready.
These will form the backbone of your product and set the tone for everything else in the pack.
Why This Step Matters:
This is where the hustle gets real.
A convincing fake flex isn’t just a screenshot — it’s a vibe. It has to feel effortless, authentic, and screenshot-worthy.
And the crazy part?
You can make something people will literally pay for using just Canva, a couple fonts, and 20 minutes of design time.
Once you’ve made three, the rest get way easier to crank out.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Find Real Examples to Copy
Pull up actual screenshots of the apps or sites you’re mimicking.
Search:
- Reddit (e.g. r/shopify, r/uberEATS, r/mildlyinfuriating)
- Twitter screenshots
- TikTok “results” videos
- Pinterest (weirdly good for PayPal/Notion aesthetics)
Grab real layouts so you can replicate:
- Font types and sizes
- Placement of data and logos
- Button/text alignment
- Color schemes and icons
Use tools like:
- FontSnatch or WhatFont (browser extension) to match styles
- Flaticon or HeroIcons for free icons
- Remove.bg if you need to isolate elements from real UI
Step 2: Build Your First 3 Screenshots in Canva
Let’s say you’re doing the Money Flex Pack.
Here are your starter three:
✅ 1. Shopify Daily Revenue Dashboard
- Use real bar chart shapes
- Add fake dates + £7,211.37 sales
- Stick the logo top-left
- Screenshot in 16:9 aspect ratio for Reel-friendly content
✅ 2. Stripe Payment Screenshot
- “You received £429.75 from Online Course Co.”
- Use a real transaction format — include timestamps, sender name, transaction ID
- Add a blurred balance in the background to make it feel more authentic
✅ 3. Uber Eats Receipt
- Total: £97.34
- Include ridiculous items like “6x Extra Guac,” “£3.50 Sauce Charge”
- Add “Delivery to: Mansion Apartment (Penthouse)” for comedic flex
Pro tip: Include at least one detail that’s slightly off but funny (e.g. order delivered at 3:27am).
Step 3: Export in 2 Formats
For each file:
- PNG or JPEG screenshot format — the viral asset
- Optional PDF version — makes the product feel premium
- Optional editable Canva link — adds perceived value and gives flexibility
Organize everything into one shared folder for easy delivery later.
By the End of Today:
You should have:
- 3 high-quality fake flex screenshots
- Realistic styling that mimics the original apps
- Saved copies in PNG/JPEG + optional PDFs
- A solid rhythm for building the rest of the pack tomorrow
Day 3: Finish Your Pack and Give It a Name
Today’s Goal
Build out the rest of your fake flex pack (aim for 6–10 total assets), organize everything, and give the product a name people will want to screenshot, share, or buy.
Why This Step Matters
You’re no longer experimenting — you’re productizing.
Anyone can make one funny screenshot. What sells is a system: a themed bundle with consistent quality, a vibe, and a clear promise.
The name and presentation are what turn “some funny files” into a real product with real sales.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Build the Remaining Assets
You already have 3 screenshots done. Aim for 3–5 more depending on your energy and the size of your final pack.
Use your niche and persona from Day 1 as your guide.
Ideas for more fake flex assets (Money Pack version):
- Stripe payout screenshot
- Apple Wallet showing £999,999.99
- Screenshot of a £1,200 crypto sell order
- A “Thanks for your £5,000 order” Shopify email
- Screenshot of a DM from someone asking for “business advice”
Every image should feel:
- Scroll-stopping
- Vaguely believable
- Easy to drop into content (TikToks, reels, memes, etc)
Optional: Add a funny Easter egg in one of them for virality (e.g. a typo, ridiculous timestamp, “sent from iPod Touch” footer)
Step 2: Organize the Files for Delivery
Structure the product like a premium digital download — even if it’s just memes and madness.
Create one main folder with:
- All screenshots (PNG or JPG)
- Optional PDF versions
- A simple “Read Me” text or PDF with:
-
License terms (e.g. personal use only, parody purposes)
-
Suggested use cases (TikToks, reels, story screenshots)
-
A link back to your shop or socials
-
If you want to make the offer even more viral, include:
- A Canva template link
- A bonus “caption ideas” file for TikTok
Step 3: Choose a Product Name That Sells the Vibe
You don’t need a clever brand — just a name that makes people go “Wait… what is this?”
Here are some name ideas by niche:
Money Flex Pack
- Internet Rich Starter Pack
- Fake Bank Friday
- The Screenshot That Sells
- £7K in a Day (Not Really)
Clout Flex Pack
- DM From Drake
- Blue Check Energy
- Viral Before Verified
- The Influencer Illusion Kit
Chaos Flex Pack
- Uber to the Moon
- The Unhinged Inbox
- Late Night Receipts Pack
- The Digital Delusion Bundle
Don’t overthink it. Weird and specific wins.
By the End of Today
You should have:
- A full pack of 6–10 fake flex assets
- All files saved and organized for download
- A strong product name that sells the concept
- A delivery folder ready to upload to Ko-fi, Payhip, or Etsy tomorrow
Day 4: Set Up Your Sales Page (And Make It Look Real)
Today’s Goal
Upload your flex pack, write a short product description, and make your sales page feel like a legit toolkit — not just a meme folder.
Why This Step Matters
People don’t just buy what looks cool. They buy what feels intentional.
You’re not selling screenshots — you’re selling a tool for creators to go viral, prank, or entertain.
So the product page should feel polished, funny, and “just real enough.”
If it looks like a joke, they’ll treat it like a joke.
If it looks like a digital tool with a niche purpose, they’ll pay.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Choose a Platform
Pick the easiest platform for fast uploading and clean delivery.
• Ko-fi — great for fun/weird digital drops, no fees, instant checkout
• Payhip — good if you want to add discount codes or upsell bundles
• Etsy — better for traffic but takes more polish (not recommended unless you want to scale it)
• Gumroad — fine if you already use it, but most creators are blind to it unless you drive traffic
For weird/viral packs, Ko-fi is your fastest and cleanest launchpad.
Step 2: Upload Your Files
Upload your zipped folder or main PDF with all screenshots inside.
- If you included Canva templates, make sure the link has view-only access
- If you’re selling multiple versions (e.g. “Money Pack” vs “Stripe Screenshot Pack”), consider uploading each one separately with its own listing
Keep filenames clean and sorted so it feels like a product, not a dump.
Step 3: Write a Punchy Product Description
Keep it short, scrollable, and tone-consistent. You want the buyer to think, “This is hilarious… and actually useful.”
Here’s a sample you can copy or tweak:
Product: Internet Rich Starter Pack
“Want to go viral with a fake Shopify dashboard?
Need a screenshot of a £7,000 day (without actually earning it)?
This is your toolkit.
The Internet Rich Starter Pack includes 8 screenshot-ready files built to flex — fake PayPal payments, Uber Eats receipts, Stripe screenshot, and more.
Use them in Reels, TikToks, parody brands, or just to confuse your friends.
No watermark. No judgment. Just premium fake clout.
For entertainment purposes only (unless it works, then cool).”
Add 2–3 preview images and an optional bonus CTA like:
“Need a custom one? DM me on Twitter @yourhandle”
Step 4: Set a Low-Stakes Price
Weird products convert best at a low friction point: £1.99–£4.99 is your sweet spot.
- £1.99 = impulse buy
- £3.99 = “this looks valuable”
- £4.99 = top-end if you include a lot of content or editable versions
You can always increase later after feedback or sales.
By the End of Today
You should have:
- A live product page with a funny, clean, punchy vibe
- Your flex pack uploaded and organized for delivery
- Preview images that make people laugh — and click
- A price set that feels like a no-brainer
Day 5: Write the Promo Post That Makes It Pop
Today’s Goal
Write the promo post that introduces your fake flex pack to the world — whether you’re posting it on Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, or Discord.
Why This Step Matters
You’re not selling a serious SaaS product here — you’re selling a vibe.
But that doesn’t mean you can be lazy with the launch.
The best-selling weird products all have one thing in common: they lean into the concept with confidence.
Your promo post should feel like you’re in on the joke — not just pushing files.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Pick Your Launch Platform
Go where your ideal buyers hang out. Choose one or two of these:
- Reddit (e.g. r/UGC, r/TikTokHelp, r/Instagram, r/InternetIsBeautiful)
- Twitter/X (meme and marketing creators love this kind of content)
- Discord (creator communities, student servers, meme servers)
- TikTok (screen record the files and narrate over them with trending audio)
- Facebook Groups (UGC creators, parody meme groups, freelance marketing spaces)
Don’t overthink it — one solid post is all it takes to kick this off.
Step 2: Write Your Promo Post
Choose your tone:
- Funny and self-aware
- Casually chaotic
- “This is dumb, but it works” energy
Here’s a sample launch post you can use or tweak:
“I made a pack of fake receipts, dashboards, and DMs to help creators fake their way through reels, memes, and dating apps.
Want to flex a £7,000 Stripe screenshot?
Show off a £100 Uber Eats order?
Or screenshot your fake DMs from Dua Lipa?This pack has all of that.
Built for TikTok trolls, parody creators, and meme accounts.
£3.99 on Ko-fi. No watermark. No regrets.Link in the comments — or DM me if you want a freebie.”
Alternate closing CTA:
“I made it for fun, but if you post with it, tag me. I wanna see the chaos.”
Step 3: Add a Preview Image (or 2)
Choose 1–2 of the strongest fake screenshots and post them as if they’re real.
Let the caption or comment explain the joke.
For Reddit, just post the image and drop your link in the comments.
For Twitter or Discord, lead with the image — text after.
If you’re launching on TikTok:
- Use a voiceover like “this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever made…”
- Pan slowly across the fake screenshots
- Add a text overlay like “£100 Uber Eats order. 3am. No regrets.”
Step 4: Prep a Short Reply Version
Most of your traffic will come from comments and DMs. Save a short reply like:
“Yup! It’s here: [link] — made it for meme creators and chaos merchants.”
Or:
“Stripe screenshot, £3.99, no watermark. Comes with caption ideas too.”
By the End of Today
You should have:
- 1 launch post written and ready
- 1–2 preview screenshots to pair with the post
- A short reply script for comments or DMs
- A clear plan for where to post and when
Day 6: Launch Your Fake Flex Pack Into the Wild
Today’s Goal
Post your promo, drop your screenshots, and quietly unleash chaos. The goal isn’t to go viral — it’s to get your first few reactions, shares, or DMs.
Why This Step Matters
A lot of people make digital products.
Very few actually launch them.
Today, you’re doing what most never do — putting something into the world that people can laugh at, react to, and maybe even buy.
And this kind of hustle?
It thrives on screenshots and curiosity.
You don’t need hundreds of likes — just a few real reactions.
That’s enough to learn, improve, and start making money from memes.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Post It
Take the promo you wrote yesterday and hit publish.
Wherever you post, lead with the image or hook.
Then drop the link in the comments (for Reddit or Twitter) or bio (for TikTok).
Timing tip:
Post when your audience is active — early evening or late-night often works best for meme-friendly content.
Step 2: Reply to Anyone Who Comments
If someone replies with:
- “Is this real?” — reply with: “As real as your Shopify dashboard”
- “Where can I get this?” — drop the link
- “I need this” — thank them + consider offering a freebie
Keep the energy light, meme-y, and friendly.
The more active you are, the more your post stays visible.
Step 3: Soft-Post It Elsewhere (Optional)
This product works best when it’s seen, so repost in 1–2 more spots:
- Share the link in a relevant Discord server
- Post the screenshots solo in a meme group
- DM it to a few TikTok creators or pages that use fake assets already
No need to beg or pitch — just drop the link and let curiosity do its job.
Step 4: Screenshot the Best Reactions
Grab anything you can reuse for later:
- Comments that say “I need this”
- DMs asking if it’s editable
- People tagging friends
You’ll use these for social proof when you relaunch or drop version 2.
By the End of Today
You should have:
- Posted your flex pack publicly
- Sent at least one follow-up reply or comment
- Dropped your link in 1–2 additional places
- Captured reactions or insights for Day 7
Day 7: Reflect, Improve, and Decide What’s Next
Today’s Goal
Review how your launch went, improve your pack based on reactions, and decide if this is a one-off drop or the start of a weird little empire.
Why This Step Matters
Most people launch and walk away.
But if you look closely — at your comments, clicks, and reactions — there’s gold hiding in the chaos.
Whether your fake flex pack blew up or got 2 likes, there’s now data to work with.
You can tighten the pack, relaunch it, or turn it into a full series.
Today is about taking stock, tweaking, and choosing your next move.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Review the Launch
Open a blank doc and answer:
- What platforms got the best response?
- Which screenshot got the most attention?
- Did people laugh, comment, DM you, or ask for more?
- Did you make any sales — or get requests for edits/customs?
Even if the numbers are small, any traction = direction.
Step 2: Tighten the Product
Make at least one improvement based on feedback or vibes:
- Add a new Stripe screenshot based on a comment (“can you do this in dollars?”)
- Clean up any designs that felt too obviously fake
- Create a mobile-friendly preview version
- Add a “Caption Ideas” or TikTok script PDF
Small upgrades can boost conversion for weeks.
Step 3: Decide What This Hustle Becomes
Now make a call — is this:
A one-and-done drop?
Cool. You made something funny, listed it, and proved you can sell chaos.
A recurring series?
Even better. Start planning your next pack (e.g. Relationship Flex, Chaos Flex, Productivity Flex).
Call it “The Fake Flex Vault” and drop a new one every 2–3 weeks.
A mini-service?
Offer to make custom fake receipts or screenshots for TikTok creators.
£15–£30 per request. Turn it into a Fiverr or Ko-fi add-on.
Step 4: Document Your Results
Keep this lean and honest. You now have:
- A weird product
- A real listing
- At least one launch post
- A result — good, bad, or meme-worthy
That’s one more win than most people ever ship.
Save what worked. Use it again.
By the End of Today
You should have:
- Reviewed your first drop
- Upgraded your pack with 1+ changes
- Made a decision on what’s next (archive it, relaunch it, or expand it)
- Written down what you’d do differently next time
You Just Completed The Fake Flex Hustle
And you didn’t just create memes.
Instead, you built a digital product that entertains, performs, and sells — with zero ads, zero audience, and zero budget.
In 7 days, you:
