What Is a Digital Product?
You might be wondering what exactly a digital product even is.
A digital product, as the name implies, is a product that exists only digitally. It’s not a physical product that you can buy in the store or order off Amazon.
Digital products may be delivered as a digital file that you can download and access, such as in the case of an eBook. Or the digital product may be hosted online somewhere, like in the case of an online course.
Some digital products are used to create physical products. For example, you can buy printable planners or coloring pages that are designed to be printed out and used. Some people sell digital art prints that you can print and frame.
You pay for digital products online, and no physical product is shipped to you. Instead, you will typically receive a link to access your digital product via email.
Why Should I Sell Digital Products?
Selling digital products is a great way to make money online.
There are so many reasons why you should start selling digital products.
Some are the best reasons to sell digital products are…
- None of the hassle of producing/storing/shipping physical products
- Passive income (create it once and then sell infinite copies)
- No start-up costs or risks (you can create your digital product for free and the only thing you lose is the time taken to create it)
- Can easily create products for any niche or interest
I truly believe that every blogger and online business owner should be creating digital products because it’s such a great opportunity.
No matter what niche you are in, you can make money from digital products.
How to Sell Your Digital Products
First things first, you will need your own website.
Next, you will need an e-commerce platform to take payments and deliver your product. I use M-pesa. I recommend Mpesa because its a proven platform is easy and convenient for selling digital products.
All you have to do is upload the file of your digital product and you can start selling it right away. M-pesa has standard transaction fees with no additional fees taken out from the sales you make, which is great.
This is by far the easiest way to get started selling digital products.
