The best product you can sell digitally is some sort of coaching/membership offer on something you're really passionate about or knowledgeable in.
Coaching and mentorships are one of the OG digital products (while there's no physical product, the information is the product).
1:1 support, group programs, mindset calls, Voxer support – however you do it is your call. Coaching works for any niche – fitness, freelancing, dating, business, sales, personal development – you name it.
Some creators use coaching as their main income stream, while others use it as a premium add-on to courses and communities.

Here’s an easy one: digital planners. You can make them on Canva, InDesign, Figma, or just buy PLR templates and customize them.
Planners are popular; they’re all over social media, and you can cash in by helping people stay organized.

8. Tutorials
Solve a problem, get paid. Sensing a theme here?
Tutorials are easy because they're one and done, earning a passive profit once they’re out on the market.
Your tutorial should walk somebody through a topic or show them the solution to a pain point. But I mean, this could be anything, as serious as building sales funnels to something as unserious as coding your first game with AI.
Tutorials can be in the form of videos, downloadable guides, or interactive content.
How easy is it? Easy. All you need is your knowledge and a way to put it into video or text format

You don’t have to become a photographer for events, portraits, or corporate gigs, either. You can just sell your stock images.
Stock photo sites like Shutterstock, Unsplash, and Getty Images pay photographers each time someone downloads their image.
Some popular image types include:

11. Software
Tim Konieczny is a freelance software engineer, and he says that software is the best way to make money online.
I think that SaaS is a great way to make money online. Unlike physical products, SaaS businesses scale without needing to invest in infrastructure.
This means that you can keep your business very lean and grow it with a very high profit margin, which makes it possible to make money with software as a solopreneur or a small team.
Tim Konieczny from Rapidemo
Look, I won’t lie to you. Building any piece of software takes effort, skill, and knowledge.
But once you’ve got your product? There’s no limit to how many times you can sell it.
If you’re not particularly tech-savvy, you can learn some easy coding techniques, use a no-code tool to build your software product, or hire someone to help you make the initial product.

And as the writer, newsletters help grow an audience and make you an expert.
There are several ways you can monetize your subscriber count, including running paid ads, partnering with brands, and setting up a paid tier that goes above and beyond the regular content delivered in your newsletter.

Online communities provide a place for people with specialist interests to get together and socialise, even if it is through a screen.

Instead, the value is in the connections and the ability to meet other like-minded people.

How easy is it? Medium-level difficulty

25. Apps
Create an app for a specific target audience and sell it. It’s really that simple. You can add a paid plan to generate passive income or charge for in-app purchases.
Browse the Apple App Store or Google Play to get potential business ideas, but games, productivity, and educational apps tend to be the most popular.
Like software, with no-code apps and builders, you can build mobile apps with literally no development experience. Of course, integrating features like payment and user authentication can be a bit hard depending on your tech skills. Plus, you still need to market your apps to see get results.
When building an app, Siya (@siyabuilt on X) has this advice:
If you're building anything, make sure it solves your own problem. Nobody is going to understand that problem as well as you do.
Watch the video to hear what he has to say:
So, how do you build an app?
Well, imagine a world where all those complex stuff gets handled by a system and all you have to do is to code the app itself, or tell an AI to do it. Well, don't, actually. You can do exactly that with Whop.
By using the Whop SDK and our documentation, you can easily build apps that use Whop's systems to process payments, user authentication, distribution, and even marketing. If you're planning to follow the vibe-coding path, you can use our LLM docs and install our MCP.
How easy is it? You can use no-code app-builders, but there is a learning curve
How much does it cost to start? Can vary from tens to tens of thousands of dollars

How much does it cost to start? From $0

Here’s another way to run courses: via EDMs.
Land directly in people’s inboxes with an email course spread out over days or weeks. This keeps you front of mind, and you can use the emails to upsell other digital products.
Keep it simple here: ask for a one-time fee in exchange for the course, or offer a monthly plan where people pay a rolling fee for fresh course content each month.
Whop lets you send your forum posts to user emails, so your readers get snippets directly in their inbox. They can access the full course material within your whop.
How easy is it? Easy to create, but can be difficult to gain traction at first

This can work particularly well for children’s books or relaxing content that can be consumed before bedtime. You can even sell audiobooks on Whop!

Again, you can charge a one-off fee per game, or you can create a subscription where customers can download new games each month.
How easy is it? Relatively easy using AI to create the game (and its logic) and tools like Photoshop or Canva to create the paper
How much does it cost to start? You can use free tools to create printable games, so $0
How much can you earn? Printable games sell for relatively cheaper prices ranging from a few bucks to $20
34. Songs and licensed music
If you’re a keen lyricist or songwriter and want to get paid for your creativity, sell your songs online.
When you license your tracks, people pay a fee to use them in films, videos, and social media, giving you passive income every time someone chooses your song.
Plus, it gives your music more exposure. (Who knows, you might catch the attention of a label.)
How easy is it? Hard - composing music is a hard skill to learn and master
How much does it cost to start? You'll need software to compose (like Ableton, which starts from $99) and possibly composing equipment which can range from a couple hundred to thousands of bucks
How much can you earn? Songs and licensed music can be sold for up to thousands of dollars based on your client and the quality of your work
35. Content libraries
It sucks when you create a banging piece of content but have to watch it gather dust.
Instead of leaving your videos, blog posts, and guides to decay online, combine them in a content library (often known as a content vault).
People can then pay a one-off fee (or a monthly subscription) to access the content.
How easy is it? Easy, all you have to do is to create lists of content you find interesting or helpful
How much does it cost to start? From $0 using platforms like Whop to create the list and sell access to it
How much can you earn? Based on the content quality and length of your list, you can sell them for $1 to $30 dollars
36. Augmented reality filters or overlays
If you’re tech-minded, try your hand at creating augmented reality filters or overlays.

Augmented reality overlays can help consumers envision what a new sofa might look like in their living room or how a summer dress looks on them.
How easy is it? Medium if you're creating simple filters with static visuals, hard if you're creating interactive mechanics (possibly with 3D objects)
How much does it cost to start? From $0 with free software like TikTok Effect House, to a few hundred bucks with paid software like WebAR
How much can you earn? Based on the complexity of your filters and who you create the filter for, you can sell them for hundreds of dollars
37. Virtual reality experiences or environments
Sometimes people just need to escape (here here), and you can help them with a virtual reality experience.
Creating VR scenes or experiences can differentiate you from the regular crowd of stock photo and video sellers because you’re offering something new and exciting.
How easy is it? Hard - creating virtual reality experiences is a challenging task. You'll need skills like 3D modelling and scripting
How much does it cost to start? From $0 with free software like Blender
How much can you earn? Interactive virtual reality experiences can sell for hundreds to thousands of dollars while static ones can sell for $30 to $100
38. Interactive fiction or choose-your-own-adventure stories
Remember those Goosebumps choose-your-own-adventure paperbacks? This is that, but for 2025.
It’s the perfect digital product for today’s Netflix-and-chill crowd who want to binge on stories but also feel like they’re in the driver’s seat.
Plus, once you’ve built your story structure, you can sell it again and again with very little effort on your part.
How easy is it? Easy using AIs like ChatGPT, medium if you're planning to write it yourself

39. Custom AI chatbots for specific niches
AI-powered chatbots to deliver customer support when their human teams are offline. But it can be tricky to configure a chatbot from scratch, so it helps (not hinders) the user experience.
So if you know chatbots, this is a perfect hustle. Try configuring AI chatbot templates for different niches.
You might create a bot perfect for companies selling vegan chocolate or one that helps finance companies send clients to the right resources.
How easy is it? Medium - chatbot wrappers can be easily made but they will need configuration, training, and integration into your client's platform
How much does it cost to start? From $0 - all you need are coding and web development skills

Check out these examples of the best AI chatbots for ecommerce
40. Digital escape rooms or puzzle experiences
Instead of a generic VR experience, why not create a virtual playground where people can flex their gray matter and feel like Sherlock Holmes?
Escape rooms are a popular way for people to pass the time, enjoy an evening with friends, or provide a bonding experience for remote teams outside of awkward Zoom happy hours.
Once you’ve created your experience, you can sell it as many times as you like without restocking shelves.
How easy is it? Easy using AI to write the story/logic and to create the visuals
How much does it cost to start? From $0 to $10 (for MidJourney subscription)
How much can you earn? From $5 to $30 depending on the complexity of your product
41. Job boards
Pull together recent job openings, list them all in one central place, make money.
As a writer, I have dreaded scrolling LinkedIn and having to pick through irrelevant jobs (even with keyword searches).
So, make it easy for people to find opportunities that are a good fit with a niche job board. Once you’ve set up the tech behind it, you can use automation capabilities to make sure it pulls in fresh opportunities every day.
You can create a job board in your whop, too.

How easy is it? Easy - you only need to be able to record your voice
How much does it cost to start? From $0 if you have a phone (bonus tip, you can use tools like Enhance Speech to clear your recording)
How much can you earn? Depending on the project, you can earn from $10 to $500+
43. Presentation templates
Presentations are hard work, and that’s before designing the f*cking slide deck.
Make people's lives easier and create reusable templates that corporate folk can use to customize presentations, whether they’re pitching for new work, presenting their latest findings, or hoping to land a new partnership.
The idea is that people can download your templates and use them in their chosen presentation tool, whatever the subject.

Everyone loves a good vacation, but not everyone enjoys the planning part.
Make life easier for travelers by creating a series of trip plans and itineraries they can download, use, or customize to suit their needs.
You can create different itineraries for different types of travelers. For example, a luxury itinerary, a budget itinerary, and a family itinerary for Costa Rica.
How easy is it? Easy, all you have to do is some research (note that people who actually go to the locations they sell plans for outcompete you)
How much does it cost to start? From $0
How much can you earn? Trip plans and itineraries can sell from $10 to $40
45. Swipe files
Not everyone has hours to waste trawling Facebook’s ad library to find a relevant example for their next blog post.

Not only does this build trust and authority with your audience, but it means you can repurpose content and use it over and over again.
How easy is it? Medium/hard - to sell a recorded webinar with valuable content, you need extensive knowledge on the topic
How much does it cost to start? From $0
How much can you earn? Depending on your expertise on the topic, your webinars can range from $40 to $200+

Good email marketing brings in sales, customers, and associations. Annoying email marketing is a death sentence.
By creating and selling pre-built email workflows, you’re offering businesses a shortcut to better engagement and higher conversions.
You can create workflows for multiple scenarios, including abandoned cart sequences, welcome sequences, and post-purchase sequences.
How easy is it? Easy if you have experience in email communication (as brands, creators, etc.)
How much does it cost to start? From $0 - all you need is a platform like Whop to sell your workflows

Everyone's telling businesses they need to be on social media, but nobody's giving them the actual words to say: here’s your opportunity.
A lot of smaller businesses don’t have the time, cash, or resources to outsource their social media. They do it themselves, but usually, they need a hand.
Create extensive prompt libraries for different industries, occasions, and content types.

77. Digital art commissions (customized digital portraits or illustrations)
Let’s go back to illustration for a second: why not offer custom portraits and illustrations in your own style?
Portraits and personalized artwork make for great gifts, and doing custom work allows you to charge a higher price than you can for prints.
You can grow a following by posting your art on social media and collaborating with accounts of a similar style. Then, use a digital marketplace to offer customs and commissions.

These days, though, people are tired of cookie-cutter approaches to fitness.

How much does it cost to start? From $0
How much can you earn? From $50 to $1.000+
80. Digital party invitations or event templates
Bespoke invitations are all the rage, but not everyone can afford an event planner. If you’re creative, why not create templates for invitations and events? You can use software like Illustrator and Canva to create your designs, upload them to a digital marketplace, and post your work on social media to build a following.
Plus, once you grow, you can offer customized designs for clients and run an online storefront of ready-to-go templates.

Sure, Canva has resume templates. But here’s the thing – everyone’s using them now, and nobody is standing out.

You’ll need to post your work on social media, create content around it, and funnel viewers to an online storefront or intake form (for commissions).

You can design meal plans based on specific dietary needs (think keto, vegan, or gluten-free), or create general plans that help people eat healthier throughout the week. Platforms like Canva can help you format them beautifully, and you can offer the option to personalize the plans for clients with particular preferences.
Once you’ve got your templates, list them on a digital marketplace and market them through social media platforms, where you can share meal prep tips or recipe ideas to engage your audience.

You can design templates and planners to help podcasters keep everything in order, from episode outlines to marketing strategies.
Sell your templates on Whop individually or bundle them into a product suite. As your audience grows, you could offer a subscription for regular new templates or coaching to help people level up their podcast game.

You can host quizzes on Whop, bundle in extra resources, and promote them through TikTok, IG, or email.
How easy is it? Easy to create the tests with AIs like ChatGPT and the platform itself with AIs like Bolt or Loveable - then, you can sell access to them by using Whop
How much does it cost to start? From $0 to $10 (for AI subscriptions)
How much can you earn? From $10 per access sold
95. Customizable digital vision boards
These are tools people can use to better train their subconscious mind to improve real-life circumstances through the (very real and proven) science of visualisation.
While I love to build my own, it’s time-consuming and requires the right headspace. And if you’re not even creative, the process can be frustrating rather than enlightening.
But, if you’re like me, you could create digital vision board packs that people can personalize with their own images, quotes, and goals. You can build various themes (travel, fitness, business) in varying styles, with custom imagery, graphics, sticker options, typography, and more.
How easy is it? Easy since it only takes time and a little creativity
How much does it cost to start? From $0
How much can you earn? From $5 to $30 per board sold
96. Digital adventure maps
City guides, hiking trails, or even scavenger hunt routes that users can personalize with their own points of interest, field notes, and hidden gems.
You can create themed maps inspired by apps like Pokémon GO and Geocaching, where users search for locations and items, or complete tasks as they explore.
Use Adobe Illustrator or Canva to design your maps – or you can use platforms like Mapbox or Google My Maps for more detailed experiences and customizable paths.
Instagram Reels and TikTok are the best places to post your adventure routes and bring them to life, using a link in your bio to refer viewers to your digital storefront.
How easy is it? Easy/medium depending on the topic and difficulty of the adventure
How much does it cost to start? From $0 to $23 per month (for Adobe subscriptions)
How much can you earn? From $10 to $30
97. Interactive stories
Got a knack for storytelling and a cool idea? Bring it to life with AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini, no coding required.
You can build your game as software, a mobile app, or a web app. For web apps, check out Bolt.new or Loveable AI to make the process way easier.
Once your interactive story game is ready, monetize on Whop listing it as software or a web app.
Storytelling just got way more fun and profitable.
How easy is it? Easy using AIs like ChatGPT to write the story and Bolt or Loveable to write the app
How much does it cost to start? From $0 to $20 (for AI subscriptions based on the complexity of the story/app)
How much can you earn? From $5 to $20
98. YouTube thumbnails
Content creation is one of the most lucrative ways to start making money online, especially if you’re making money through YouTube.
One of the most essential parts of a good YouTube channel is great thumbnails - they play a huge role in click-through rates. And while all creators know what makes a good thumbnail, executing is different. That’s where you come in.
If you're skilled in graphic design, you can offer custom thumbnail services through your own whop, or freelancing websites like Fiverr and Upwork.
How easy is it? Medium/hard - while creating generic YouTube thumbnails is relatively easy, creating top notch ones requires graphic design skills and creativity
How much does it cost to start? From $0 (for platforms like Canva) to $23 per month (for Adobe Photoshop)
How much can you earn? From $10 to $100+
99. Stream overlays
If you watch online streams, you’ve seen those cool graphics around the streamer’s cam or during scene switches, yeah? They’re called stream overlays.
While some creators DIY, most pay artists to design overlays that boost their channel’s vibe and make them memorable.
You can find gigs on Upwork or offer your services through Whop.
Remember, creators want overlays that stand out, not some generic template. So bring your A-game.
How easy is it? Medium if you're going to create statis overlays and hard if animated
How much does it cost to start? From $0 (for platforms like Canva or Gimp) to $23 per month (for software like Adobe Photoshop)
How much can you earn? From $20 to $100
100. Music sample packs
Samples can make or break a track. Take Havoc’s legendary sample from Kitty With the Bent Frame by Quincy Jones – that’s a big reason Shook Ones Pt. II by Mobb Deep became such a hip-hop classic.
Or look at Otis by Kanye and Jay-Z, which famously flipped an Otis Redding sample into pure gold.
If you’ve got the musical chops and tech skills, create and sell your own sample packs on platforms like Landr and Loopmasters.
How easy is it? Medium - to be able to create unique sample packs, you need to have musical aptitude and audio editing skills (in most cases)
How much does it cost to start? From $0 (for software like Audacity) to $23 per month (for software like Adobe Audition)
How much can you earn? From $10 to $50
101. Budgeting templates
Managing money sucks for a lot of people, but sound budgeting can fix that.
If you’re a spreadsheet wizard who knows formulas (or even macros), build easy-to-use budgeting templates to help folks track income and expenses without the headache.
Google Sheets and Excel are your best bets (Notion’s cool but not great for auto-calculations like budgets).
Sell your templates on Whop or Etsy, and if you want to level up, create a chat space on your whop so customers can ask for custom tweaks or get help.
How easy is it? Medium - to be able to create good budgeting templates, you need to know how to use Excel or Google Sheets, their formulas, and possibly macros
How much does it cost to start? From $0 with free platforms like Google Sheets and starting from $13 for Microsoft 365 subscriptions
How much can you earn? From $10 to $50
102. 3D print models
3D print models aren’t the same as regular 3D models. You’ve got to think about technical stuff like normals facing the right way, surface thickness, slicing, and infill settings to make sure prints come out right.
Since 3D printing blew up around 2009, demand for ready-to-print models has been huge, and it’s still growing. If you get the tech side and know your way around Blender or Autodesk Fusion 360, this could be your sweet spot.
Start by learning about manifold meshes and the slicing process, then sell your models on sites like CGTrader, MyMiniFactory, and Whop.
How easy is it? Hard - creating 3D print models is similar to creating 3D models but it has other specific requirements
How much does it cost to start? From $0 with free software like Blender
How much can you earn? From $5 to hundreds of dollars depending on the quality and complexity of the model
103. YouTube scripts
YouTube uploads hundreds of hours of video every minute, and lots of creators need scripts. Big channels often don’t have time to write themselves, so they hire scriptwriters.
To stand out, your scripts need killer hooks, smooth topic reveals, storytelling that fits the video, and calls to action that actually work. Some clients even want you to suggest visuals alongside the script.
You’ll usually get paid per script or on a monthly retainer. Find gigs on Fiverr and Upwork, or set up your service on Whop to work directly with creators.
How easy is it? Easy if you're using AIs like ChatGPT to write scripts but hard if you're writing them yourself, thus providing unique work
How much does it cost to start? From $0
How much can you earn? From $10 (for AI-written) to $100+ (self-written) per script
104. TikTok scripts
TikTok scripts are a whole different game from YouTube. You’re writing for quick attention spans and content that vibes with TikTok’s ever-changing algorithm.
As of April 2025, TikTok’s favoring original long-form clips (up to around 10 minutes), and the Creator Rewards Program only pays for videos over a minute. So, aim for scripts that hit at least 60 seconds.
Find gigs on Fiverr and Upwork or build out a whop hub to work directly with creators.
Pro tip: Niches win on TikTok – the more focused the content, the better the engagement.
How easy is it? Easy with AIs like ChatGPT but hard if you're writing them yourself
How much does it cost to start? From $0
How much can you earn? From $5 (for AI-written) to $30 (self-written) per script
105. AI prompt packs
If you know your way around AI, then you can create AI prompt packs to help others make the most of AI systems.
AI prompt packs are curated collections of ready-to-use prompts for tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and DeepSeek. These prompts will be used by everyone from educators to developers, freelancers to writers, marketers, and designers.
You can create different prompts for different industry niches to really maximize the earning potential here.
How easy is it? Easy - all it takes is a little trial and error with prompts
How much does it cost to start? From $0
How much can you earn? Prompt packs sell for anywhere from $5 to $100
106. Gamified habit trackers
We spend so much time online and working that building healthy habits feels impossible. Balancing work, friends, food, and fitness? Yeah, it’s a lot.
That’s where gamified habit trackers come in. They turn habit-building into a game, making goals like getting fit, staying productive, or just keeping organized actually fun and doable.
Your tracker can be anything from printable worksheets with built-in rewards to apps featuring mini-games. It’s a simple way to create passive income. Want to go further?
Build a productivity community on Whop where everyone tracks and supports each other’s habits, turning accountability into a social game.
How easy is it? Depends on what you choose to create - a Canva worksheet is simple, an app is a little more complex, and a community is a simple product that requires continual work
How much does it cost to start? From $0 (again, depends on what you create)
How much can you earn? $5-50 per sale for worksheets, $5-25 per membership (recurring monthly) for an app or community membership
107. Virtual co-working sessions
Virtual co-working is perfect for creators, freelancers, and entrepreneurs who need a focus boost and some accountability online. Set up your whop and run these sessions using livestream features to help people stay on track.
You can sell access as one-offs, bundles, or a subscription membership. For even bigger bucks, target a specific niche (think writers, ADHD entrepreneurs, or startup founders.)
Add some structure, like goal setting or check-ins at the end. You’re not just hosting co-working, you’re building a thriving, money-making community.
How easy is it? Medium: easy to host, requires consistent scheduling
How much does it cost to start? $0 if you already have a webcam and use Whop
How much can you earn? Moderate to high depending on your audience and niche
108. Brand voice or tone-of-voice guides
Brand voicing guides are powerful tools for business owners who want consistent, scroll-stopping content across every platform.
These documents help a brand carve out its voice, whether that’s cheeky and casual or polished and professional.
You can create custom guides for clients or sell templates they can fill in themselves. This type of product is ideal for copywriters, marketers, and brand strategists looking to make money with their skills.
How easy is it? Easy: especially if you already offer brand strategy or copywriting
How much does it cost to start? Nothing but your time
How much can you earn? Medium: custom guides can fetch $$$, and templates sell passively
109. Digital learning kits for kids
You can create engaging digital kits that combine printables, audio, and simple interactive elements, designed to help kids learn through sight, sound, and hands-on activities.
Perfect for parents, homeschoolers, and educators seeking dynamic and engaging educational tools. Plus, so long as you have a good grasp of elementary school knowledge, there’s no real special skills or expertise required.
How easy is it? Easy, but requires basic design skills, simple recording equipment, or interactive PDF tools.
How much does it cost to start? Low, mainly software subscriptions (if needed), and a microphone or smartphone for audio.
How much can you earn? Moderate to high, depending on your niche and marketing. Some kits sell for $10 to $ 50 or more each.
110. Customizable media & business kit templates
Sell customizable kits designed to help creators, startups, and small businesses present themselves professionally.
Think press kits for influencers and musicians, brand kits for startups, financing pitch decks, one-pagers for investors, and media sheets for speakers or podcasters. These can be built in Canva, Notion, or Google Slides and sold as editable files.
Many entrepreneurs don’t have the time or skills to make these from scratch, so sleek, pre-designed templates are a win.
Package them up, market them on social media, and sell through a digital marketplace like Whop.
How easy is it? Easy, just need design skills and a template platform.
How much does it cost to start? Low using free or low-cost tools like Canva.
How much can you earn? $20-$100+ per kit or bundle.
111. Done-for-you Notion workspaces
Is your workspace organization often the envy of your office coworkers?
Sounds like you’re the right person to build and sell complete Notion setups for specific use cases — think content planning, freelance business management, habit tracking, or personal finance dashboards.
People love Notion but hate setting it up, so if you're good at making things look clean, you're in. These templates are perfect for creators, freelancers, students, or anyone trying to get their life together.
How easy is it? Easy, especially if you already know and use Notion.
How much does it cost to start? Very low, just time and a Notion account.
How much can you earn? $10-$100 per workspace, depending on complexity.

How to create digital products
Here’s how to start selling digital products.
1. Identify your audience
Before creating a digital product, figure out exactly who you’re making it for. It’s way easier to sell if you know your audience.
Don’t just say “women” or “students.” Get specific. For example: “20-25-year-old women who love yoga but don’t have the time or cash for weekly classes.”
Ask yourself:
- How old are they?
- Where do they live?
- What do they like?
- What daily problems bug them?
- What are their biggest struggles?
- Why would they want your product?
Getting this clear helps you make stuff people actually want—and nails your marketing so it hits the right crowd.
What is a target persona and how do you create one?
2. Brainstorm product ideas
Now that you know who you’re creating for, start thinking about what to make.
Did anything on this list catch your eye? Go with a format you actually vibe with (if being on camera isn’t your thing, skip the video courses and masterclasses).
But remember, it’s not just about you. Your audience’s needs matter most. Think about their challenges and interests. Use those to brainstorm products that fit them perfectly.
Like, busy 20-25-year-old women who can’t hit yoga classes might love a membership with weekly online sessions they can squeeze in anytime.
Check out which digital products are in demand.
3. Create your digital product
Alright, you’ve got your audience and your idea. Now let’s build.
If it’s a one-off product like a masterclass or an app, map out your plan first. Who can help? What research do you need? Don’t wing it.
Use online tools to make your product look slick and professional. Some faves:
- Canva
- Creative Market
- Loom
- Notion
Also, figure out where your product will live. Do you need a whole website, or can you sell on existing platforms like Whop, Creative Market, or Etsy?

4. Promote your digital product
Your product’s ready, now it’s time to make some noise.
If you’ve already got followers, awesome. If not, no worries. Most creators start with zero.
Focus on just one or two platforms where your audience actually hangs out. For example, those yoga classes for 20-25-year-old women? TikTok and Instagram are your best bets.
Here are some easy ways to promote:
- Drop Instagram Reels and Stories with links
- Create a freebie (lead magnet) to grow your email list
- Share in relevant Facebook groups
- Run social media ads
- Upload your product to searchable marketplaces
- Build a website and write content to get found on Google
- And here’s a power move: use Content Rewards. Way cheaper than social media ads, and you only pay for the views you actually get
Try stuff, track what works, and double down on it. Less is more.

5. Monitor and learn from your results
The best way to create a killer digital product? Trial, error, and learning as you go.
You probably won’t make millions on day one, and that’s totally normal.
But if you listen to your customers, tweak your product to solve real problems, and keep improving, you can build a solid passive income stream.
Who knows? Maybe millions.

Learn how to create your whop with this step-by-step guide
How to market digital products
The hardest part of selling a digital product isn’t coming up with your idea or even creating it. It’s getting people to actually buy it.
If you don’t have a big audience hyped and ready, you’ve got to put in the work to promote your product/s.
Here’s how to start marketing like a pro:

- Collect testimonials: Real reviews and social proof go a long way. Share them on socials and your product page to build trust.
- Optimize your website: Use smart keywords and SEO tricks to get your product showing up in search results when people are looking for what you offer.
- Use social media: Build your presence on the platforms you vibe with. Post engaging content, and always drop your product link in captions and your bio.
- Film YouTube videos: Tutorials, walkthroughs, or behind-the-scenes content can hook viewers and drive them straight to your product.

Digital product FAQs
What are digital products?
A digital product is a product that predominantly lives online. Unlike physical products, you can’t hold it in your hands. Instead, you “experience” it via your web browser or device.
We’re talking about things like ebooks, downloadable guides, paid communities and apps — intangible products that are created, distributed, and consumed in a digital environment.
Many digital products take inspiration from physical products, like ebooks versus actual books, or digital planners versus real planners that you write in with a good old-fashioned pen.
Why sell digital products?
The speedy evolution of technology would have us believe that we’re not too far off from living our lives online. But keeping up with changing consumer habits and the advanced state of the digital world aren’t the only benefits of selling digital products.
Sell over and over again
Unlike physical products, you can never sell out of digital products. Where you’d have to stay on top of inventory and keep stock levels high in the physical world, the digital world is different. Once you’ve created a digital product, you can sell it over and over again without needing to order more or wrestle with complex supply chains.
Generate passive income
We’d all like to make money while sitting on a beach sipping mojitos. The reality is that you can be a digital nomad with digital products. It takes time to build consistent sales, but once you’ve put in the upfront work and set up your sales system, you can sit back and enjoy the money that comes in on autopilot.
Scale quickly and easily
Digital products require no physical storage space. You don’t need to ramp up manufacturing to meet growing demand. In fact, it’s the same amount of work to sell one digital product as it is to sell 1,000.
Low startup and running costs
There’s a digital product for every budget, but most don’t require a hefty upfront investment to get started. Instead, you can choose a product that fits your budget — the only expense is WiFi, a device to create on, and your time.
And very little changes when you grow. Costs are still limited to any tools you need to manage sales and an internet connection.
Freedom and flexibility
Who doesn’t want more freedom? Fancy hopping on a flight to Rome on a random Wednesday afternoon? Want to take an ad-hoc morning off to go swimming with the kids?
These dreams are closer than you think when you sell digital products. With passive income trickling in, you can spend more time doing the things you love.
Reach more people
Digital products are often a lot more accessible both in pricing and in location. While you might be limited in who you can sell a physical product or service to, the possibilities are endless with digital products.
How much can you make selling digital products?
Different types of digital products to sell
The great thing about the internet is that pretty much anything is possible - there’s no limit to the creativity out there.
That being said, certain digital products are more common than others:
- Ebooks and downloadables: Including digital versions of fictional books, practical guides, and downloadable checklists, workbooks, and planners. Basically, anything you can download and read or print out.
- Software: Widgets, plugins, website templates, apps, and tools all make great digital products. There’s some upfront effort involved, but once you’ve designed and made a piece of software, you can sell it countless times.
- Digital media: We’re talking about things like paid podcasts, newsletters, stock photography, stock video, and magazine subscriptions. You can monetize these things in different ways. For example, you can ask customers to pay a one-off fee, you can offer a subscription, or you can sell ads in your chosen media type.
- Online courses and masterclasses: Create a course, tutorial video, or masterclass that walks people through a specific solution or task.
- Memberships and communities: Memberships and online communities bring like-minded people together in exchange for a set monthly fee. A lot of the time, paid members get exclusive content.
