Breathtaking Norway— My First Digital Product

Your phone. Only more beautiful

“Everyone” has been talking about selling digital products for ages. It is one of the side-hustles people always throw at you. Most of them are probably trying to sell you an overpriced course or get you to read an article here on Medium about how easy it is. Then, you click the article, and it’s all a load of bull…

This time, it is none of the above. At the time of writing, the content has only generated $5 in revenue. However, it is a milestone in my side-hustle career. You see, this is my first digital product up for sale.

Would anyone buy this?

If I want it, someone else might want it as well. That’s my reasoning for creating a digital product like this.

When I pick up my phone and look at it, it is physically pleasing to be greeted by great wallpapers.

For the last year, I have hiked around Lofoten, Norway. This is one of the most beautiful places on earth, and over time, my gallery has collected more and more breathtaking views.

It was time to share them with the world.

After carefully selecting 14 photos from my gallery, I decided that these photos would be the ones to share.

In the end, I made a little trailer for the wallpaper pack so you can get a feel for the whole project.

If you want to pick up the wallpaper pack yourself, head over to my Gumroad and have a look:

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you around. Maybe you’ll even have some of my work on your phone one day.
