What are digital products?

Digital products are assets that exist in a digital format that you can sell or share online. This includes online courses, music files, ebooks, community access, and even virtual items (such as skins) sold inside of online games.

Digital products can be a downloadable good for someone to experience alone, or access to an interactive online experience, like a live webinar or coaching session. As of 2025, they create more than $2.5 trillion in value per year.

- Coach Carl Parnell

When it comes to selling online courses, your options are endless. You can build an online course for traders, show freelancers how to land clients, or share your experience going viral on social media. 

Once you’ve created the building blocks of your online course you can sell it to hundreds of thousands of students. Just remember to update it regularly to make sure that your students are getting their value.

Memberships are one of the easiest ways to build a community around your brand.

-Robbie Kellman Baxter, business consultant and author of "The Membership Economy"

Once you’ve written your content, publish ebooks on Whop, Amazon, and other digital platforms to increase your reach. Use your socials to create content around the topic and generate interest. Pop a link in your bio to your whop and boom, sales funnel.

"I do what is called organic sales meaning I don't run ads I don't have any paid advertisement. I just use my following off social media whether it be YouTube takes I can Instagram to drive sales directly to these books."

Digital subscriptions work like memberships: users pay a monthly fee to access a tool or exclusive content. 

Some of the most popular digital subscriptions are for magazines, newsletters, job boards, and recipe programs. 

The video above shows Orangie - a meme coin trader who sells subscriptions to his crypto trading whop.

6. Tutorials 

Tutorial videos and guides are an easy digital product to sell 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 minigame 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
• How much does it cost to start? $0 with platforms like Canva and Whop
• How much can you earn? Depends on the format of the tutorial
• Potential challenges: Explaining complex ideas simply and clearly
• Skills needed: Teaching ability, screen recording, and subject expertise

7. Online communities

Online communities bring together people from around the world who share a special interest.

A community can be just for fun (like a fan community or gaming community), for personal development (such as an online fitness community) or for professional development (like an online business community or skill-learning group).

This creator has build hundreds of online communities, and tells us "Only make content that you would watch, because organic content is more important than ever right now".

• Potential challenges: Keeping members active and conversations lively
• Skills needed: Community management, engagement strategies, and conflict resolution

8. Video courses

Got something to teach and don’t want to create a full-on interactive course? Sell a video course. 

Doesn’t have to be long; it can just be a lesson or two. I might do one soon, showing Baristas how to pour better latte art. You could do one on styling winter outfits for men, or growing plants indoors.

Simply film a lesson or two and upload them to a platform like Whop. 

• How easy is it? Easy
• How much does it cost to start? $0 with Whop
• How much can you earn? Mid-level earnings for videos alone, higher earning potential for videos + community access
• Potential challenges: Maintaining learner attention till the end
• Skills needed: Video production, teaching abilities, and content structuring

9. Study guides

Students will always need study guides, but they need something more engaging than boring PDFs. And like Fatimah says in the video above, selling study guides is a perfect hustle for current students already getting great grades.

"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

Create interactive study materials that combine clear explanations with practice questions, memory techniques, and quick reference charts. 

Include different learning formats (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) and practice test generators.

Tip: You can also upload your study notes to various sites to earn extra income. 

• How easy is it? Easy/medium using AI

• How much can you earn? From $5 to $20

• Skills needed: Subject expertise, educational design, and study methodology

10. Email courses

Another way to run courses: via emails. 

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
• How much does it cost to start? From $0, but costs increase as subscribers increase (on some platforms)
• How much can you earn? Mid-level earnings
• Potential challenges: Keeping students engaged across emails
• Skills needed: Email marketing, content sequencing, and automation setup

11. Online masterminds 

Masterminds are slightly different from online courses and memberships. A mastermind typically brings together a tight-knit group of people who all want to reach the same goal. 

Most masterminds come with premium prices because they’re so specific and because they include a lot of 1:1 time with the mastermind host. To do this well, you need to specialize in something that people want.

"There is nothing quite like a Mastermind Group for dramatically increasing the income of your own business, whilst … doing precisely the same for your Mastermind Group Members too."

-Nick Jervis from The Mastermind Group Blueprint

• How easy is it? Easy/medium - organizing online masterminds requires you to have some knowledge on the topic the mastermind is about
• How much does it cost to start? From $0 using platforms like Whop
• How much can you earn? From $50 to $200
• Potential challenges: Facilitating meaningful connections and results online
• Skills needed: Expert knowledge, group facilitation, and community building

12. Teaching materials

This is a great side hustle for teachers: create comprehensive bundles including lesson plans, worksheets, assessment tools, and interactive activities.

Take it one step further and make everything customizable, and include options for different learning styles.

Team your flashcards and learning materials with progress-tracking tools, parent communication templates, and modification suggestions for special needs students.

• How easy is it? Easy using AI, medium if complex teaching materials
• How much does it cost to start? From $0 to $20 (for AI subscriptions in the long run)
• How much can you earn? From $5 to hundreds of dollars, depending on the topic of the teaching material
• Potential challenges: Aligning with curriculum and student needs
• Skills needed: Educational expertise, curriculum design, and age-appropriate content

13. Masterclasses

If you’ve run in-person workshops or masterclasses, it’s time to start selling them online.

You can create a fresh masterclass from scratch, or buy PLR presentation templates — once it’s recorded and uploaded, you can sell it over and over again. 

• How easy is it? Easy - as long as you have the knowledge
• How much does it cost to start? From $0 when you create a masterclass with Whop
• How much can you earn? Mid to high earnings here, as some masterminds can be sold for thousands of dollars
• Potential challenges: Delivering deep value in limited time
• Skills needed: Expert-level knowledge, presentation skills, and curriculum design

14. Customizable meal plans or recipes

For many people (okay, yes, me personally), meal planning is a huge pain. Not everyone has the time (or the creativity) to think of healthy, easy-to-follow meal plans. But if you’ve got a passion for food, selling customizable meal plans or recipe collections is a great small business idea. 

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.

Sell your meal plans online and market them through social media platforms, where you can share meal prep tips or recipe ideas to engage your audience. 

• How easy is it? Easy if you're creating generic plans - medium if you're creating custom plans per client
• How much does it cost to start? From $0
• How much can you earn? From $30 to $100+
• Potential challenges: Catering to various dietary needs
• Skills needed: Nutrition knowledge, meal planning expertise, and dietary requirement understanding

15. Online language learning tools or quizzes

If you speak more than one language, monetize it. You could teach English online or offer lessons in whatever language you know fluently.

Create flashcards, quizzes, vocab lists, grammar cheat sheets, whatever helps people level up fast. 

Make them look good, keep them useful, and sell them as a digital bundle. 

Use Whop to host it all, and if you’re up for it, offer feedback or tutoring through DMs or chat.

• How easy is it? Easy if you're creating tools and quizzes with AI but if you ever want to scale and provide one-to-one services, you'll need to be very fluent in at least two languages
• How much does it cost to start? From $0 to $20 (for AI subscriptions)
• How much can you earn? From $10 to $100
• Potential challenges: Engaging learners at different skill levels
• Skills needed: Fluency in multiple languages, educational design, and quiz creation abilities

16. Customizable digital vision boards

People use vision boards to imagine their ideal life. These boards train the subconscious mind to improve real-life circumstances through the (very real and proven) science of visualization. 

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
• Potential challenges: Explaining value and encouraging user interaction
• Skills needed: Design creativity, motivational psychology understanding, and template creation

17. 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.
• Potential challenges: Balancing fun with educational value
• Skills needed: Child learning knowledge, educational design, and age-appropriate content creation

Digital products that creators & influencers can sell

18. 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. A passive, easy way to make money online.

• 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

• Potential challenges: Organizing and updating content efficiently
• Skills needed: Content curation, organization skills, and value assessment abilities

19. Voice-over packages

Love the sound of your own voice? Cash in on it. 

You can create voiceover packages for different industries and sell them over and over again. For example, you might record 10-15 minute audio recordings or meditations and mindfulness exercises, or create voiceovers for corporate videos, e-learning modules, and apps. 

Even if you don't think that you have a good voice, you can still make money as a voice actor. You don't even need expensive equipment. The voice actor in the above video explains:

"You don't even need a full studio setup for this — all you need is a quiet room, a decent USB microphone, and free recording software."

• 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+
• Potential challenges: Matching tone and pacing to varied needs
• Skills needed: Voice acting, audio recording, and script interpretation abilities

20. Trip plans and itineraries

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. You could even sell travel ebooks.

• 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
• Potential challenges: Keeping recommendations current and location-specific
• Skills needed: Travel expertise, destination knowledge, and research abilities

21. Content calendars

Content calendars basically help overwhelmed business owners and marketers to get their ducks in a row. 

The beauty is, you can create a calendar once and sell it over and over again. Think industry-specific calendars packed with key dates, promotion ideas, and content prompts to take the headache out of planning.

You can even create versions for different niches: wedding photographers, life coaches, food bloggers, etc. 

The more targeted, the better they’ll sell. 

• How easy is it? Easy using AI to create plans and platforms like Notion to create scheduling templates

You can get as detailed as you like here, with comprehensive workbooks that walk people through defining their audience, crafting their voice, and planning their content pillars. 

Add extra value with sections for goal setting, competitor analysis, and metrics tracking, as well as swipe files of high-performing post examples and caption formulas. 

• How easy is it? Easy/medium - you need social media management skills to create an effective social media strategy worksheet
• How much does it cost to start? Free with platforms like Google Sheets and Notion
• How much can you earn? From $5 to $25+
• Potential challenges: Teaching users how to apply the strategy, not just fill in blanks
• Skills needed: Social media expertise, strategy development, and template design

23. Social media prompts 

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. Think daily conversation starters, behind-the-scenes prompts, and engagement questions packaged up with hashtag suggestions, best posting times, and engagement tracking sheets. 

You can sell your prompts in as simple a format as a Google Doc. This is a low-cost, high-reward business you can start from home.

• How much can you earn? From $5 to $20+
• Potential challenges: Keeping prompts fresh and inspiring

24. Custom workout plans

There’s never been a bad time to create fitness products (the number of people who have followed a Chloe Ting video at least once is mind-blowing). 

These days, though, people are tired of cookie-cutter approaches to fitness. We asked the creator above, and he said the secret to monetizing fitness content is growing a community on Whop.

The creator in the above video tells us how to monetize fitness content, saying:

"Step one: create high value content on Instagram— this is your top funnel.

Step two: create a free whop where you can plug in your services for your community like private eating plans, recipes, PDF files, tools and much more.

Then run your community with a free tier to get people in the door, then upsell high value content like coaching calls and livestreams."

• How easy is it? Easy if you're creating generic plans - medium if you're creating custom plans per client
• How much does it cost to start? From $0
• How much can you earn? From $10 to $100+
• Potential challenges: Tailoring plans to diverse fitness levels
• Skills needed: Fitness expertise, exercise programming, and anatomy knowledge

25. Podcasting resources (show notes templates, episode planners)

Everyone has a podcast these days, but running them is tough work behind the scenes. 

Once creators begin to grow, they have less time and energy for things like show notes and episode planning. That’s where you come in. 

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.

• How much does it cost to start? From $0
• How much can you earn? From $10 to $50+

"The best part about earning money on TikTok is if you're posting content, you're already halfway there. The next step is simply growing your account. The easiest way to do that is by simply posting consistently, following trends, and studying the competition and replicate what they do best."

-Tristan from VYRL Premium

Most creators aren’t pro editors, and hiring one is expensive. That’s your gap.

If you know video editing basics (even just using Canva or CapCut), you can build templates for things like text effects, transitions, intros, outros, and overlays. Make them easy to customize so creators can drag, drop, and post fast.

Package them by niche (beauty, fitness, business, etc.) and sell them on platforms like Whop or Etsy. And use your socials to demo the templates in action and show people what they’re getting.

• How easy is it? Easy/medium with apps like CapCut and Premiere Pro
• How much does it cost to start? From $0 to $23 (for subscriptions to CapCut premium or Premiere Pro)
• How much can you earn? From $5 to $50 per template
• Potential challenges: Staying on trend with fast-changing formats
• Skills needed: Video editing, social media trends awareness, and motion graphics

27. 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. As marketing specialist Tim Queen says:

"YouTube thumbnails are the most important success factor for getting a high video impression click-through rate."

- Tim Queen

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+
• Potential challenges: Designing clickable, clear images at small sizes
• Skills needed: Graphic design, visual psychology, and YouTube optimization knowledge

28. 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
• Potential challenges: Writing engaging long-form content that keeps audiences hooked
• Skills needed: Scriptwriting, YouTube algorithm knowledge, and storytelling abilities

29. 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

30. Social media templates

Lots of people DIY their social media graphics, but honestly, it’s not easy for everyone. 

And when most creators are starting, their social graphics aren’t so crash hot. So, they outsource them. 

If you’ve got a good eye, you can create and sell templates for Instagram images, Stories, and Reels.

Your audience can download the templates and tweak them to their liking. 

• How easy is it? Easy - especially with AI
• How much does it cost to start? From $0 with - you guessed it - AI, Canva, and Whop

31. SaaS

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. 

"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

So if you know chatbots, this is a perfect hustle. Try configuring AI chatbot templates for different niches.

Package them with downloadable maps, local insider tips, and restaurant recommendations. 

Make them available in both audio and written formats, and throw in some landmark photography.

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.

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.

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 Lovable - then, you can sell access to them by using Whop

Thanks to platforms like Substack, newsletters are back in the mainstream, baby. 

People crave curated media rather than the bombardment they get on social media every day. And they’re only going to grow. It’s today’s version of the magazines your mom bought at the supermarket checkout, but there’s a niche for everyone.

And as the writer, newsletters help grow an audience and make you an expert.

There are several ways you can monetize your newsletter, 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.

Half of US businesses don't have a formal, documented crisis communication plan in place. With cyberattacks and technology failures making up 40% of all crisis events (hello AWS and CloudFare), more and more businesses are starting to look for a crisis communication plan. Without one, these businesses are left floundering, wasting time wondering how to spin the crisis to the media.

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.

The idea is that people can download your templates and use them in their chosen presentation tool, whatever the subject.

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.

Art prints are one of the most sellable digital products, tbh. If you’ve got a creative streak, enjoy drawing, or love to design, you can turn your creativity into sales. 

With print-on-demand platforms, you can upload your artwork to and have it transferred onto mugs, t-shirts, notebooks, and other physical products — or you can sell it as a wall print. 

Karina sells digital art as a side hustle, and in the video above she explains how to get started — from creating a portfolio, to finding your style, getting known on Instagram, X and Pinterest.

"You don't have to just post your artworks — you can create videos from your content, and look to other artists for ideas".

-Karina Egle from Whop

The digital art marketplace is worth a whopping USD $5.8B.

But if you’ve got a good design eye, you can create brand bundles that include logo templates, color palette ideas, and font inspiration. 

You’re essentially offering a business-in-a-box solution that saves entrepreneurs from the dreaded “designer’s block” and the expense of hiring a full-time creative team.

Sell them on Whop and market through a social media funnel.

How to create digital products 

Ready to start selling? Here’s how to create 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 digital 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 a digital product:

• 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

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.

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, and people are very interested in digital products. According to Mastercard, digital product transactions rose nearly 70% from 2022 to 2024.

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:

• Run paid ads: Get quick eyeballs by running ads on social media platforms where your audience hangs out.
• Partner with affiliates: Team up with influencers, big or small, to promote your product in exchange for a cut of each sale. Affiliate marketing = more reach, less hassle.
• 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.
• Start an email newsletter: Build real connections by collecting emails and sending your audience useful, relevant updates that keep them coming back.
• Sell on popular marketplaces: Whop already has customers browsing for stuff just like yours, so apply for the Discover page as soon as you launch to get your product in front of them.
