Digital product sales are up 70% in the last two years. Find out which digital products are in demand in this guide.

The top digital products to sell in 2026 include online courses, paid memberships, private community access, online coaching, and ebooks. The latest arrivals include AI-related products, such as custom GPTs or AI assistants.

It'll be worth your time, too. Digital products aren’t just trending—they’re surging, with transactions soaring 70% in two years and momentum only accelerating.

In this guide, I'll walk you through the top digital products in demand in 2026 and help you pick a side hustle that nets you thousands of dollars every month.

What digital products are in demand?

Digital products that are currently in demand include online courses, ebooks, digital memberships and subscriptions, and extra content from creators. 

Those are some broad categories, but a lot of it comes back to being educational or entertaining (or, in an ideal world, both). If you can make content that is useful, you'll be successful. 

Some of the most in-demand digital products include things that can help other people make money or learn a useful skill.

However, even if you just want to become a content creator and make lifestyle content, there's a niche for everything. It's all about having a good idea and turning it into reality.

22 most profitable digital products to sell

1. Online courses

0:00
/1:29
We have a company, pre-med students, that wanted to help undergraduates get into med school. They do a series of courses created in the community, generating six figures on our platform while they're going to school.
-John Hill from Whop on online courses

The massive open online course (MOOC) industry is booming. I'm not joking — it's huge. 

Valued at $22.8 billion in 2024, it's set to exceed $119 billion in 2029. Online courses are the way to learn in 2026 and beyond, and if you've got knowledge to share, you can make big bucks.

Some of the most popular course ideas include helpful PDFs, ebooks, quizzes, cheat sheets, FAQs, and more. More often than not, you'll be making video or written lessons for your students (aka customers) to go through.

The best online courses include support from mentors, so they work well when paired with a dedicated online community. 

Setting up a course on Whop is super simple. Once you make your own whop, you can upload your course in minutes, and the built-in community will help you keep your students on track & answer questions when needed. 

  • Time investment: Some courses may take as little as 10 hours to create, but in-depth ones could take weeks. It all depends on how much time you're spending on it per day.
  • Start-up costs: You might need to invest in a camera if you're appearing on video. For most people, a smartphone will suffice when you first start selling courses. Overall, costs range from $0 to $1,000 depending on your equipment.
  • Earning potential: Courses have an immense earning potential, averaging from $500 to $10,000 per month.

2. Digital planners and journals

Digital planners and journals are endlessly versatile, which is what makes them a great digital product to sell.

Each of these may not make you a lot of money, but the good thing is that once you make one, you can sell it again and again. Even if you only charge $1 each, they'll still keep selling a year or five from now, so it all adds up.

But take it from me — don't price them at $1 each. Instead, work on personalizing them so you can charge way more.

For instance, make digital planners in all sorts of themes and colors, and for all kinds of purposes. Then expand to things like habit trackers, ADHD journals, and study sheets.

Number one is Whop for starting your business completely free.

Sell tutoring sessions to struggling freshmen, create study guides for your hardest classes, offer resume writing services, or freelance graphics design.

If you have even a certain angle figured out that other college kids want to learn off of you, you can sell that information and make a little side project or a side business utilizing a platform called Whop.
-Fatimah from Fatimah's Guide

Adding useful information and extra pizzazz to each planner will let you price them at up to $100, and that's where the real money is. 

Once you've got your planners and journals ready to sell, put them up on Whop and get paid!

  • Time investment: A basic planner can be made in a couple of hours, but advanced options might take up to ten.
  • Start-up costs: You mostly need a computer and a graphic design program. Canva is free, though.
  • Earning potential: These journals are an excellent source of passive income. You might make up to $1,000 a month once you have a good catalog.

3. Ebooks

0:00
/2:31
I use my following off social media whether it be YouTube TikTok Instagram to drive sales directly to these books and I price them at $20 for all three books.
-Jeremie Lander on selling ebooks

Ebooks, much like courses, are among the most profitable digital products to sell. 

However, they're even better as a form of passive income, as you can write them, put them up for sale, and let them be while you work on your next one. 

Courses work best when paired with a community and more hands-on management, but ebooks can thrive all on their own — although, of course, it's even better if you bundle them with other digital products.

Some of the best ebook niches include:

  • Finance
  • Fitness
  • Personal development and self-help
  • Business
  • Health and wellness

If you want to give your ebook an extra edge, pair it with other things, such as downloadables. For example, a cookbook goes well with a printable recipe book.

  • Time investment: Writing an ebook from scratch takes from 15 to 50 hours, depending on your effort and the length of the book.
  • Start-up costs: Most likely none; all you need is a computer or a phone, which you most likely already have.
  • Earning potential: Ebooks sell for anywhere between $5 and $500 a piece, so once you build up a catalog, you could be earning thousands of dollars per month.

4. Online community access

All that matters at the beginning is getting your first few customers in the door and giving them a good experience.
-Lucas Duncan from Whop

Running an online community is one of my absolute favorite ways to make money online, and it's by far one of the most profitable digital products. 

Anyone can make a community, but valuable communities aren't easy to come by. Most huge Discord servers are either ghost towns or places filled with trolls and little to no valuable information. 

Making your own and building it around a certain topic, then moderating it and providing users with expert insights, can be a great stream of income.

Communities operate on a subscription basis, which means that you'll have money coming in every month instead of one-time revenue.

Setting up a community is easy if you use Whop, as whops themselves are communities! You can use the Chat app to let your subscribers communicate with you and with each other. You can also use Whop's built-in Discord or Telegram integration if you already have a community that you want to monetize.

  • Time investment: Getting started can be done in minutes. After that, expect regular upkeep of 30 minutes to an hour a few times a week.
  • Start-up costs: None.
  • Earning potential: Successful educational communities can bring in thousands of dollars per month, but even a smaller community can rack up around $500 to $5,000.

5. Coaching services

0:00
/0:45
You get to be your own boss. So you really get to structure your own weeks based on around your own lifestyle.

Coaching can be facilitated in-person, but online coaching is incredibly popular as a digital product.

Some coaching niches include:

  • Fitness
  • Weight loss
  • Mindfulness
  • Career
  • Business
  • Finance
  • Self-help
  • Nutrition

Once you're all set, you can sell online coaching services as digital products, including one-on-one calls, access to exclusive communities, courses and webinars.

  • Time investment: Coaching is largely a form of active income. Expect to spend anywhere from five to 20 hours a week doing this.
  • Start-up costs: This largely depends on your niche. You might have to pay for things like certification, a place to record videos in, or a good camera — or you might be fine with just your phone.
  • Earning potential: Established online coaches earn from $1,000 to $3,000 per month, with the potential for a lot more if you sell other digital products.

6. Personalized training programs

0:00
/0:57
You get the opportunity to create a bunch of different revenue streams based off what those clients need, so whether that be a face-to-face online, just programming.
-Danni Wilson from Jetts Australia

Most digital products come and go in popularity, but people's health is never going to be irrelevant. This is why the personal training and fitness industry has always been one of the most popular fields to earn money in.

If you have fitness and personal training experience, you should definitely consider selling personalized training programs to people online.

While selling physical fitness services is a good idea, selling the programs online as digital products will allow you to reach the entire world.

You can do this by creating a whop, offering 1:1 calls to get details about your customers, and delivering their programs.

  • Time investment: Getting to know your customers on 1:1 calls and creating their programs should take around three hours.
  • Start-up costs: None.
  • Earning potential: You can sell programs for $50 to $100+ or long-term training for $20+ per month.

7. SaaS

Up to 99% of companies use at least one SaaS solution. Similar things are true for consumers — most of us use SaaS without even knowing that it's SaaS. If you use Netflix, Canva, DuoLingo, then you're using SaaS.

Software as a Service is a great way to get people to subscribe to you and pay you every month. After all, the idea is maintaining access — people pay you a subscription, and in exchange, you maintain the service and provide regular updates.

If you've got the skills to build a solid SaaS (and an idea or two), you could be making bank. SaaS is everywhere, from things like Notion to Zoom to Canva, and you don't need to be a tech giant to make money; you just need good customer service and an idea that fills a certain niche.

  • Time investment: Building your own SaaS can take dozens of hours, but regular maintenance and upkeep should be much less time-consuming.
  • Start-up costs: From $0 up to $1,000 per month, depending on whether you need to pay for things like cloud access or hosting (which you most likely will need to do).
  • Earning potential: SaaS companies are regularly among some of the most successful in the world. You can earn up to $10,000 and more per month if you land on a good idea and deliver it as a product.

8. Software and apps

0:00
/2:44
I scratched my own itch and I recommend you do the same thing. If you're building anything make sure it solves your own problem because nobody is going to know that problem as well as you do.
-Siya from Whop on tips about developing software and apps

Not sold on SaaS? You can still monetize your programming skills in other ways.

Making and selling software and mobile apps is a good way to earn money through digital products. The global app market is expected to generate over $600 billion in revenue by the end of 2025, which makes it a highly lucrative field to get into.

As far as app ideas go, the sky is the limit. You'll find that things like bots and automation tools tend to sell very well, especially if your tools can help other people make money — think things like trading bots or trackers.

Similarly, social media management tools or bots do very well, as do gaming tools (although those might be against the terms of service, so check that first).

Selling software is easily done through Whop. Mobile apps often end up on either the App Store or the Google Play Store.

  • Time investment: Making software or an app typically takes well over 50 hours, but there are app makers that speed up that process.
  • Start-up costs: From $0 to $1,000 and up, depending on whether you need to pay for things such as licensing or working with designers or creators.
  • Earning potential: Up to $5,000 a month and more.

9. Subscriptions

subscriptions

Selling something once is awesome.

Selling something every month is even better. 

Subscriptions are a fantastic source of steady income. Unlike one-time sales, they let you predict what kind of money you can expect next month, and the next, and the next. 

Good news: Most of these digital products that I talked about already work great on a subscription basis. Anything can be sold as a subscription — you just need to make sure that you provide value on a regular basis.

Communities, courses, masterminds, and SaaS all make for great subscription revenue. However, even things like stock photos, graphic designs, or other downloadables will do well with the right audience.

  • Time investment: Depending on what you're selling, you may have to spend anywhere from an hour to 20 hours a week.
  • Start-up costs: Highly varied depending on the product; in many cases, just $0.
  • Earning potential: Building up a subscriber base takes time, but you can earn up to $5,000 a month off of subscriptions alone.

10. Consulting

0:00
/0:43
For anyone making money online, if you're in a career and you've been doing that career for a long time, the next logical step is always going to be to teach others how to do what you do and create an additional source of income for yourself.
- Volky from Digital Nomad Community

If you're an expert in something, you can bet that there'll be people who want your opinion, insights, advice, or even just straight-up coaching on your topic of choice.

Consultants offer up their time and expertise — which tends to be mighty valuable — to people on a one-to-one basis. However, you can also work directly with businesses as a consultant on a retainer.

You can even scale up and work with multiple people at once, forming coaching or study groups, and hosting live events, webinars, and masterminds.

As a consultant, you should set up shop on Whop. You can use the Video Calls app to quickly connect with potential clients, and then add useful downloadables, ebooks, and courses all in the same place.

  • Time investment: Consultants only make money when actively working (unless you sell other digital products on the side). This can mean a time investment of five to 30 hours a week.
  • Start-up costs: Whatever it takes to learn your chosen skill and then help others. You may need your own tools; IT consultants usually come with their own tech toolkit.
  • Earning potential: Consultants can earn between $75 and $500 an hour.

11. AI-generated digital products

AI content

Making everything from scratch takes time, be it blog posts, graphic design templates, or marketing funnels. Luckily, we've got AI, here to both steal jobs and create them (by making it so much easier for people to make and sell stuff)!

With the plethora of AI tools currently available, you can make so many different useful things that people will pay good money for. This includes:

  • AI-powered chatbots
  • Virtual assistants
  • Blog posts
  • Ebooks
  • Travel planners
  • Fitness plans
  • Weight loss plans
  • Art
  • Graphic design and logos
  • Music and videos
  • Audiobooks
  • Courses
  • Social media posts
  • Marketing funnels
  • Market bots
  • Financial planners

Honestly, this is just the top of the list — there's a lot more you could do.

Be wary, though. AI content will be generic if you don't use some pretty advanced prompts, and as such, you'll have lots of people to compete against.

  • Time investment: Crafting the perfect prompt takes anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Rinse and repeat for each product.
  • Start-up costs: Apart from a PC or a smartphone? None.
  • Earning potential: This is a fairly saturated market, but if you sell many products and let them gather passive income, you'll make over $1,000 a month.

Check out our ultimate list of the best digital products to sell (and how to make them)

12. Templates

Templates of all kinds are those types of things that you'll make once, put them up, and then let them gather sales while you work on the next big thing. 

They're a superb source of passive income, which, arguably, is the best type of income — who doesn't love getting paid while going on vacation?

The more advanced your template, the better. The idea is to save people lots of time in order to make the product worth buying. 

Take Notion templates, for example. As much as I love Notion, setting it up is a nightmare. If you happen to be a pro at Notion, you can charge $100 and up for a robust planner, knowledge base, or workflow tracker.

Spreadsheets are similar. If you're good with formulas and macros, you can make lots of useful pre-made spreadsheets (and then charge extra to tailor them to a specific person).

Making resume and cover letter templates is another gold mine, provided you're good at it. You can even use AI to help you create them.

  • Time investment: Basic templates can be made in a couple of hours, but advanced ones may take up to 10 hours each.
  • Start-up costs: None apart from specialized software, such as a Microsoft 365 subscription for Excel sheets.
  • Earning potential: Advanced templates can make you from $50 to $250 a piece.

13. Meal plans

Whether you're a gym fanatic or you're just into healthy eating, trust me — lots of people want to know what works for you.

It's possible to get meal plans off the internet for free, but specialized, tailored advice is priceless. That's why, if you want to sell meal plans, consider how you can niche down to step away from the crowds.

Maybe you can make plans specifically for pregnant women who want to stay in shape, or for people who can't digest certain diets. Maybe you'll make plans for people who are lactose intolerant. 

The options are plenty, and the good thing is that you can sell them all on Whop. Set up your own whop (it literally takes like five minutes) and put up your plans as downloadables, then start earning money.

You can make even more by setting up a motivational community with tailored advice. Mind you, you may need to be certified in order to make money like this — check your local laws.

  • Time investment: You should be able to create a detailed meal plan in under five hours.
  • Start-up costs: None.
  • Earning potential: A personalized meal plan can sell for up to $200, meaning you could earn as much as $2,000 just by selling ten of those.

14. Digital art and graphic design

First thing you need to do is create a portfolio, because without a portfolio, no one's gonna hire you. Do not wait for perfect pieces.
-Karina Egle from Whop on tips about getting started as a digital artist

If you've got a creative streak, why not put it to work? Digital art or graphic design can make you a lot of money, provided you build up a catalog and put it up for sale.

Some of the most commonly bought digital products in this category include:

  • Logos
  • Website design
  • Social media templates
  • Printable wall art
  • Art commissions
  • Business branding kits
  • Infographics
  • Data visualizations
  • T-shirt and merch designs
  • Icon packs
  • UI elements
  • 3D assets
  • Sticker & SVG cut files
  • Ebook covers

A lot of these can be made with Canva for free, but for advanced art or photo editing, I recommend picking up a subscription to a tool like Adobe Photoshop.

  • Time investment: Basic designs take around 30 minutes, but advanced art made by hand might take weeks and months.
  • Start-up costs: Depending on the medium, you might be able to start for free.
  • Earning potential: You can sell huge design packs for $50 or a single commission for $1,000. It depends on your audience.

15. Masterminds

mastermind image of brain

Masterminds are the very pinnacle of profitable digital products. You'll have a hard time finding a more expensive digital product, and yet, a good mastermind is worth every penny — and some of them cost over $20,000 per person!

Masterminds are highly exclusive, specialized groups run by experts. It's not just any old community. A mastermind is a tight-knit, small group made with one goal: Improvement and learning, both from the expert and from each other.

These groups usually run for up to eight weeks at a time and most consist of a maximum of a dozen people.

"The best product you can sell digitally is some sort of coaching/membership offer as well as a membership where you provide ongoing support on something you're really passionate about or knowledgeable in.

It's definitely something you can get creative with. "

-Diego Monroy from Whop

During a mastermind, all people involved (and they're usually vetted by the creator, so it's not a first come-first serve kind of thing), work hard. But before they begin, you work even harder setting it all up.

Masterminds include courses, a super active community, daily meetings, coaching, ebooks, and more. If you're an expert on something, there's no better way to monetize your knowledge and make a lot of money in the process.

  • Time investment: A mastermind requires intense work from you prior to and during the duration, spending up to 20-40 hours a week.
  • Start-up costs: Largely dependent on the field.
  • Earning potential: Successful masterminds can sell for $1,000 to $20,000 per person. You can set yours up on Whop for free.

16. Automation templates

We teach people how to build automations for businesses using a tool called n8n— it's kind of like building little robots that do the boring tasks for companies like emails, lead generation, and DMs.
- Jovan, AI Creators Club

Thanks to AI, everything moves so much faster these days - and a lot of businesses want to keep up with others by speeding up their workflow. But long and repetitive processes keep most operations slow.

This is where automation templates come in - especially targeting small businesses. With the use of platforms like Zapier and N8N, you can create templates to automate processes like lead gathering, email campaigns, customer service, content creation, and more.

The ideal automation templates can be customized by the client with little effort and can be implemented into their workflows. If you have experience working with these platforms, automation templates are great digital products for you to sell.

  • Time investment: An average automation template can be created in 5-10 hours.
  • Start-up costs: Most automation platform fees start at $20 and scale up to $200+ based on usage.
  • Earning potential: You can sell automation templates from $50 to $1k+.

17. Video content and LUTs

Video monetization

Video content, like stock videos, video templates, motion graphics, and LUTs are some of the most commonly used content you see on social media. Since the video-based platforms like TikTok are dominating the social media, YouTube being popular as ever, and even Instagram is doubling down on video content, everyone is either creating or using video content.

If you have experience creating videos, whether that be motion graphics you make on apps like Adobe After Effects or LUTs you make on apps like Adobe Premiere Pro, you might have money makers on your hand.

Your usual target audiences will mostly consist of content creators, YouTubers, video editors, and streamers.

  • Time investment: Depending on the content type and count on your packs, around 5 to 10 hours per pack.
  • Start-up costs: From $21 to a couple hundred dollars for software (like Adobe After Effects) and hardware (like cameras).
  • Earning potential: You can sell content and LUT packs from $20 $200+.

18. AI prompt libraries

Price your prompts at $20 - now if you sell 250 of them, that's an extra $5K a month.

Everyone can use AI with simple prompts, but to get incredible results and cut down the hours of chatting with AI to get a simple work going, you need good prompts. This is why you can find prompt engineer roles available on job platforms.

Regular people and businesses are looking for good prompts and prompt engineers all over the world. So, if you have experience using AIs like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, you should definitely consider improving your prompting skills by learning advanced prompting methods like react prompting, reflection loops, and recursive prompting.

  • Time investment: Creating a comprehensive prompt library that can sell will take around 6 to 12+ hours.
  • Start-up costs: Most AI subscriptions start from $20 and go up to $200 for Pro versions.
  • Earning potential: You can sell prompt libraries from $5 to $30+.

19. Pre-built social servers

Whop

Social servers like whops, Discord servers, Telegram channels, and Subreddits are getting more and more popular every day but one problem most business owners struggle with in this field is not knowing how to create the best possible server.

If you have experience on, let's say using and creating whops, you can start offering server creation services to new or existing businesses. Keep in mind that this service doesn't consist of just creating the server and leaving it.

For a whop, for example, you're going to add apps, configure their settings, adjust the branding of the whop, and take advantage of every single feature the platform has to offer to create the best possible product.

The good part of selling pre-built social servers as digital products is the opportunity to upsell community management services. If you're good at creating them, there's a good chance you'll also make a good community manager.

  • Time investment: Depending on which platform you're creating the servers in, it can take from 3 to 6 hours per server. But only a few minutes if you're creating whops.
  • Start-up costs: It costs $0 to create servers on most social platforms.
  • Earning potential: You can sell social servers from $25 to $150+.

20. VIP or behind-the-scenes content

0:00
/0:42

If you're a content creator, then you have a great opportunity to monetize your audience.

Your follower count doesn't matter — even smaller, newer creators can make money by selling extra content. 

The idea is that the people who do watch your content, be it Twitch streams or TikToks, will want to see more from you. If you can provide that, you can charge a lot more than you'd get paid just for getting views on your platform of choice.

Content creators can sell:

  • Bonus videos
  • Behind-the-scenes footage
  • One-on-one calls
  • Shoutouts
  • Access to private communities
  • Merchandise
  • Printables
  • Podcast episodes
  • Courses

Those are just some ideas. One way or another, if you put any of that stuff up for sale (Whop is such a quick and reliable option), you can bet that your fans will come knocking. It's a win-win!

  • Time investment: You're already investing time into content creation, so this extra gig will not add a lot more to it. Depending on how much you want to do, budget anywhere from five to 15 hours per week for this.
  • Start-up costs: Depends on the content. Podcasters will need to invest in a good microphone and camera, but if you just want to set up an online community, that's 100% free.
  • Earning potential: Established content creators can earn up to $10k a month (or much more) just by selling extra content.

21. Sound and music packs

bandcamp website

If you're musically inclined, or just love curating vibes, sound and music packs are a great digital product to sell.

Creators, editors, streamers, and even small businesses constantly need fresh audio for their content. Your clips could end up in TikToks, Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

You can create and sell:

  • Short background tracks
  • Vibe packs, such as lo-fi, cafe music, or gaming music
  • Sound effects
  • Podcast intro/outro packs
  • Alert sounds for streamers
  • Voiceover packs (if you're into voice acting)

You can sell these through your own whop or on platforms like Bandcamp or Audiostock.

  • Time investment: Up to 10 hours per week to create and package sound packs. Once you have a library, it's largely passive income outside of marketing.
  • Start-up costs: Free if you use free software, but professional-grade tools are expensive.
  • Earning potential: Top sellers can hit $3,000 to $5,000 a month.

22. Website templates

If you have some experience in coding or in dealing with website builders like WordPress and Squarespace, you're sitting on a lucrative business idea.

Start selling website templates as digital products. You can pre-make websites for others to fill in, or tailor them to the specific needs of your customers.

If you want to make money from pre-made templates, your best bet is to cover all your bases. Create digital storefronts, landing pages for fitness coaches, and simple one-page portfolio pages. Experiment with features and color themes, then put them up for sale.

Add an extra offer where people get to talk with you and order specifically what they need – that's where the real money lies.

  • Time investment: Creating your initial library will take at least 20 hours. After that, you can keep adding to it or work directly with customers.
  • Start-up costs: Free to low, although some platforms will require payment
  • Earning potential: Experienced designers can earn upward of $5,000 a month.

Why selling digital products is such a great idea

There are a lot of things that you can do to make a little bit of extra money. I've done some of them myself.

You could pick up shifts at a nearby Starbucks, or you could deliver food with Uber Eats, or you could even get a 9-to-5 job in whatever industry you're most qualified to work in. 

But none of these options are as good as selling digital products. Unless you get lucky and win the lottery, there's basically no easier way to make good money without leaving the house.

Thousands of Whop creators make over $7,000 per month, and many far surpass that figure—some of the top earners on the platform bring home over $250,000 a month.

But it's not all about the money—selling digital products is an incredibly accessible business idea. Here's why.

Start-up costs? Nope!

Start-up costs

Start-up costs are usually next to none. As long as you own a PC, or even just a phone, you can make your own digital products and tap into the 121.53 billion dollar market.

Of course, there might be some extra costs depending on the type of thing you're making and selling. But, on the upside, those are usually limited to paying a software subscription or investing in a better camera.

No "glass ceiling"

When you work a job and have a boss, you'll often run into the so-called "glass ceiling." It's a term that describes being unable to advance any further in your particular profession. This means that there's a cap on how much you can earn and how far you can get promoted.

Not the case with digital products. You're your own boss, and you can scale your business as much as you like.

Room for growth

Growth

Growing in a job is one thing, but it can take years or decades to climb the corporate ladder.

And even if you start a business selling physical products, there's only so much you can scale your business all by yourself. You can only make so many candles or source and sell so many sneakers before you need to rent out a store, hire employees, and cut into your profits.

With digital products, you can grow your business in a way that works for you.

Earn the way you like

Digital products can be active or passive income, too. 

This means you can adapt your income style to match your time and energy levels, and with passive income, money will be pouring into your bank account without you needing to do anything — after an initial time investment, of course.

Sweet profit margins

I told you that digital products often have minimal start-up costs, and that's true. That means that the reverse is also true — they have some sweet, sweet profit margins.

If you make a course and price it at $200, then sell it to just 10 people, that's $2,000, and most of that is pure profit.

There are many platforms you can sell digital products on the web so choosing the right one might be a bit hard. But luckily for you, you're exactly in the right place.

One of the first the things that comes to mind when trying to decide which platform you should sell in are the fees. For example, on Whop, it's 2.7% + $0.30 per successful transition - one of the most competitive fees you'll find on the web.

You should also consider how easy it is to create and run your marketplace. If you're going to sell personalized training plans, you might not want to spend your time creating a website.

This is where, again, Whop comes in. Creating a whop and getting listed on the Whop marketplace takes less than 10 minutes.

Invest in marketing

Marketing is a crucial part of selling digital products. While you can create the product, list it on platforms like Whop, and wait for it to sell - it won't probably get you the results you're waiting for.

This is why you should market your product on social media, create promo codes, and run an affiliate program. This is going to help you get the word out for your product and bump up your sales.

The world changes fast and while some digital products are evergreen, some come and go. For example, AI-focused digital products are the hype right now, because they sell.

By keeping up with trends and being creative on which product might take the spotlight next, you will have a greater chance of creating a viral product that makes you real money.
