Which Digital Product Should You Create? Here Are 15 Ideas

 

If it seems like everyone and their dog is marketing a digital product, you’re not dreaming. Digital products have become so popular among creators and educators of all kinds, and for good reason: they are widely accessible, easy to market and distribute, and cater to a growing demand for downloadable resources. What exactly are we referring to? We’re talking Excel spreadsheet templates, ebooks, downloadable fonts, photo-editing presets, and online courses. 

 

As a creator, digital products offer a great opportunity not only to generate passive income, but also build an audience of followers who grow to rely on you as an expert in your content niche. Are you an artist with a unique approach to your craft? A fitness influencer with a great workout routine? Maybe you’re an OOTD girlie, and your followers love your styling tips. Whatever content you create online, there’s a digital product that fits your niche. Don’t sleep on making money in, well, your sleep.

An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Hiring a Virtual Assistant

 

If time is money, do you feel like you’re in a deficit? We all know that time is valuable, but unlike money, it’s one of those things you never get back. Before we get too existential on you, let’s talk about how you can manage both, smooth out your schedule, and grow your business, with a handy virtual assistant. 


Hiring help is a crucial part of scaling your business. Being an entrepreneur is hard work, but you don’t need to do everything on your own. A virtual assistant might not be able to do your Starbucks run, but they can help you tackle your workload from anywhere in the world, so you can get back precious time for what’s really important (like making and selling more digital products).
