Share
So you want to sell digital products… but don’t know where to start?
If you’ve been seeing everyone on social media talk about “passive income” and “selling while you sleep” but have no clue what product to even begin with, this guide is for you.
Digital products are one of the easiest online business models to start with.
They don’t require shipping, inventory, or even a big audience—just a great idea, a platform to sell on, and a little consistency.
Let’s break down 5 digital products perfect for beginners (even if you’re starting with zero experience):
1. Digital Planners & Printable Templates
Create planners, habit trackers, to-do lists, budgeting tools, and more using Canva.
These are easy to make, high in demand, and perfect for Etsy, Shopify, or Gumroad.
Beginner Tip:
Start with one planner that solves a specific problem (e.g., Weekly Meal Planner or Daily Content Calendar).
2. eBooks or Strategy Guides
If you have knowledge or experience in something (even something simple), package it into a short, helpful guide.
Think: “How to Start a Faceless Brand” or “Beginner’s Guide to Canva.”
Beginner Tip:
Write in Google Docs or Canva.
Keep it 5-10 pages.
Focus on clarity, not perfection.
3. Canva Template Packs
Design simple, plug-and-play templates other creators can customize.
This could be Instagram carousel templates, eBook layouts, product mockups, or story sets.
Beginner Tip:
Stick to a theme or niche to stand out (e.g., Real Estate templates, Wellness Coach packs, etc.).
4. ChatGPT Prompt Sheets
AI is booming.
Curate helpful prompts for a specific audience like social media managers, content creators, business coaches, or Etsy sellers.
Beginner Tip:
Organize them by goal (e.g., “Prompts for Viral Reels” or “Prompts for Sales Emails”).
Save as a PDF and sell as an instant download.
5. Low-Ticket Business Starter Kits
Bundle together checklists, planners, swipe files, and guides to help beginners in a niche (like fitness, money, or marketing) get started fast.
Beginner Tip:
Don’t overcomplicate it.
These kits are valuable because they save time, not because they’re complex.
