The good news is that it’s all passive income
I love making passive income digitally. Selling digital goods for money is great because there’s less overhead and it gives me the opportunity to create and put out more products.
It’s great.
You need to realize that we live in a digital world where people buy digital products such as NFTs using digital money. So if you’re ever wanted to make money selling things online, this is your chance.
One way you can do that is with digital products. By doing this, you’re essentially selling something that you create one time and when someone purchases it, they get it automatically downloaded and the order is fulfilled.
It’s important to remember that regardless of which digital product you want to create, you need to have a clear idea of who wants to buy it.
Everyone could start creating digital products all day long, but if you don’t know who you’re targeting to do that, you simply won’t be able to sell that digital product.
These are the 4 digital products that I’m personally a fan of. They help me earn quite a lot in passive income. I think that anyone could create these digital products, regardless of their niche. The cool thing is that you really don’t need any special skills to be able to do this.
Digital art
This one is usually overlooked by most people.
Maybe you want to create art that people can download. This can be anything from screensavers for people’s phones or desktops to art people can download and print out for their homes.
There are many different options that you have with this one. If you’re someone who’s into art and is good at creating art as well, then you can definitely try creating digital art. You’d be surprised how many people might be interested in buying it.
Workbooks
If you love teaching others, you should definitely look into creating workbooks.
This is a great alternative to courses.
Do you not feel comfortable creating an online course? You can still teach people using a workbook format.
There are people out there selling workbooks in many different areas — ranging from SEO to daily meal prep. You have lots of opportunities here so if you have something that you want to teach or something you want to help people with (such as a process), workbooks are a great way to do that.
Just be creative.
The great thing is that the other person interested in your product can download it and have it immediately. You only have to put in the work upfront one time.
Remember that if your goal is to monetize this, you must focus on providing actual value to your customers. That’s the only real way that you’re going to be successful by selling workbooks.
I personally have several workbooks that I’ve created over the past 2 years, with my most popular one being on Facebook advertising. People simply love it, and although I’ve priced it quite cheap, I’m still able to make money from it passively every month.
Canva templates
Canva is a great, easy-to-use platform that you can either use for free or opt for their premium option which is just $12.99 per month. You can even get a discount if you buy a yearly subscription.
But don’t worry — you probably won’t even need to buy a subscription to start earning money using this way.
If you have something that you think people would like to use as a Canva template, it can be a great way to create a digital product that people are interested in.
Take social media templates as an example. Maybe you want to create Instagram story templates and sell them — or even YouTube thumbnail templates.
Even if you happen to have graphic design skills, you might no longer want to do everything from scratch because it’s very time-consuming. Instead, you can simply go and grab a template that will achieve whatever you want it to achieve and make your life easier.
Many others might feel the same, which is why you will have people interested in your digital product once you put it up on Canva.
Lots of different types of graphic templates will do great on Canva.
So where do you start?
Think about what your ideal customers might need and then create a template that could help them.
Don’t just create random templates in hopes that they will sell someday because you’ll have a tough time selling anything like that.
PDF downloads
These are mostly one-page PDF downloads or anything that’s short and is likely to make someone else’s life easier.
Let’s say you’re a content creator who wants to help people eat healthy even when they travel. Create a short PDF checklist with everything they’re going to need to eat healthy even when they’re away from home or traveling.
Many personal trainers complain about people having the mentality that they can’t eat clean when they’re traveling, so this could be a perfect chance for you to sell this PDF download to them.
Remember that you must provide value if you want to sell enough downloads, so take your time and create an information-packed PDF download that people will then recommend to their friends and families as well.
With this, you don’t have to focus on teaching people something specific like you would in a workbook, but you can simply create something that can make people’s lives easier.
I hope that you found this story interesting and helpful. If you’re interested in making money selling digital products, perhaps these 4 ideas can help you get some inspiration.
Start as soon as possible and always have a target audience in mind before creating any product.
