Digital products are the future!

I started as a writer, and now this year I will be expanding my reach in the digital world. Before this, my business was mostly from ebooks alone. But experimenting and trying out different things helps us better understand our audience’s needs.

Plus, it provides a break from doing the same thing again and again.

Example: Being a writer, I also use Google Sheets to track my ebook sales, subscriptions to writing tools, and track my book progress. I also have an All-in-one Meal planner in case you are interested.

Writers, Focus On Personal Branding

Best Selling Digital Products

  1. Ebooks/Guide — My favorite of all! If you are interested in learning more, then check this for more details. Price: $5-$50
  2. Templates — I am very much a fan of using Google Sheets to track everything from my finances to my daily work. Price: $5-$200
  3. Planner/Printables — I used to use these printables before Google Sheets (I bought them from Etsy). Price: $0.99-$20
  4. Workshops/Classes — This is the most expansive one. Price: $50-$500
  5. Paid Newsletter/Membership: $5-$50
  6. Web Elements — I used to sell WordPress theme templates on Fiverr. This was five years ago. Price: $5-$300. This is competitive now.
  7. Coaching — 1–1 coaching usually ranges from $100 to $1,000.

Conclusion

I recommend choosing only 2 because managing and updating becomes difficult later on. If you aren’t sure then ebooks are best for beginners.

Thanks for reading. I hope this helped!
