If you're looking to sell digital products in 2025, you’re in the right place.
Because today, I’m going to show you exactly how to launch, sell, and scale your first (or next) digital product, even if you don’t have an audience.
In fact, this is the same step-by-step system I used to create my guide:
Launch Your First Digital Product in 7 Days
Let’s get started.
Why Digital Products Are the Best Business Model (Right Now)
Here’s the deal: Selling digital products is one of the highest-leverage ways to make money online.
Why?
- Zero inventory
- No shipping or fulfillment
- Almost 100% profit margins after creation
- Scales without trading time for money
Not to mention:
You can create your first product this week, and launch it for under $20 (if you follow the right system).
Choose a Profitable Digital Product Idea
Most people get stuck here. They spend weeks brainstorming, researching, and doubting themselves.
Instead, steal this 3-step system from my 7-day guide:
Step 1: Pick a problem, not a product
Ask yourself:
“What’s a problem I can help solve with something downloadable?”
Examples:
- Struggling with productivity? → “90-Day Productivity Planner (PDF)”
- Dog groomer with no clients? → “Local SEO for Pet Pros (Mini Course)”
Step 2: Focus on fast transformation
Great products don’t just deliver information, they create a result.
Your goal: Help them go from A → B in the shortest time possible.
Step 3: Validate before you create
Don’t waste time building a course no one wants. Instead, create a Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
Even a 1-page cheat sheet can sell, especially if it solves a real problem.
Create Your Product (Fast)
Here’s what you don’t need:
- Fancy video editing
- A big course platform
- Professional branding
Here’s what you do need:
- A simple offer
- A clear transformation
- A fast format (PDF, Notion template, Google Sheet, short video series)
Examples of digital products that work:
- Printable trackers
- Low-content books
- Swipe files or templates
- Short eBooks
- Mini-courses
- Notion/Canva downloads
- Sheet music
Set Up a Simple Sales System
You don’t need a website right away.
You don’t need a complex funnel.
You don’t need email automation (yet).
Here’s what you need:
- A product page (use Payhip, Gumroad, Carrd, or Surecart for WordPress)
- A buy button
- A way to drive traffic
That’s it.
Use the 1-Page Sales Page Template included in my 7-day guide. It’s plug-and-play and converts like crazy.
Get Your First Sales (With Free Traffic)
You’ve got the product.
You’ve got the page.
Now let’s get traffic.
Traffic Strategy 1: Create 3 valuable posts a day
Post on:
- The Meta Trio
- X (formerly Twitter)
- Niche Facebook Groups
- Quora
Your goal? Help people solve a problem, then point them to your product.
“Here’s the exact planner I used to get my first 10 clients → [link]”
Traffic Strategy 2: Use SEO
SEO is simple.
- Find long-tail and seed keywords
- Create ONE highly optimized landing page or blog post
- Link to your product naturally (or via a lead magnet)
SEO takes time, but it's the most rewarding traffic channel.
Scale With Email + Evergreen Systems
Once you’re making your first sales, it’s time to automate.
Use a tool like Beehiiv, Kit, or Flodesk to:
- Build an email list
- Offer free lead magnets
- Automate follow-ups
Then add:
- Upsells (e.g., bundles, bonus versions)
- Affiliate program
- Social proof
Bonus: Tools I Recommend
Here’s a quick list of my favorite tools for selling digital products:
- Payhip
- Canva
- Surecart
- TinyWow
- BeeHiiv
- Keysearch
- Notion
- Gumroad
