So you’re ready to create a digital product, but your mind’s blank?
You’re not alone. Most beginners get stuck before they start—because they don’t know what to make.
The good news? You don’t need to be a genius. You just need a method.
Here are 5 ways to come up with real, profitable ideas fast:
✅ 1. Turn a Personal Struggle Into a Solution
What’s something you used to struggle with that you solved?
Examples:
- You figured out how to stay consistent with habits
- You created a system to manage school + content creation
- You designed a template to plan your week fast
🎯 If you solved it for yourself, someone else will pay for it too.
✅ 2. Lurk in the Comments (Goldmine)
Go to TikTok, Reddit, or Instagram in your niche.
Read the comments under popular posts. Look for:
- Repeated questions
- Complaints
- “I wish I had ___” comments
🧠 Then build something that gives them the shortcut.
✅ 3. Ask This Question:
“What do people always ask me for help with?”
If people DM you for Notion tips, productivity hacks, or content ideas—you already have a profitable angle.
💡 You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to be 1 step ahead of them.
✅ 4. Look at What’s Already Selling
Go to:
- Etsy (digital section)
- Gumroad Discover
- Payhip Explore
Search keywords like:
- “template”
- “planner”
- “guide”
- “toolkit”
🧩 Find what’s trending → make your version, for your niche.
✅ 5. Use the “Fast Win” Rule
Ask:
“Can someone use this in under 10 minutes and get a small win?”
If the answer is yes, it’s a great idea.
Examples:
- A caption vault
- A decision-making cheat sheet
- A 3-step workflow for content batching
🛠 People don’t want long. They want useful + fast.
🚀 Final Words:
You’re not lacking ideas. You’re just overthinking.
Look at your own life, listen to real people, and build simple solutions.
That’s what sells in 2025.
