10 Digital Product Ideas Anyone Can Sell (No Matter the Niche)
One of the easiest ways to start monetizing online is with digital products; here are ten ideas to get you started.
Ever sit there thinking, “I’ve got this awesome idea, but what the hell do I even create?” I’ve been there. You see people raking in thousands from digital products and wonder how they pulled it off. Here’s the no-bullshit: it doesn’t matter if your niche is knitting or crypto—digital products are often the quickest, simplest way to make real money online.
Below are ten ideas you can take to the bank.
1. Ebooks or Guides
Why This Works:
You can package your experience or knowledge fast.
Production cost is basically zero—just your time.
Example:
Fitness Niche: “10 Workouts for Busy Moms”
Content Niche: “How to Craft Viral TikTok Scripts”
Tip:
Keep it specific. No one wants a generic “guide to everything.” Niche down and solve one clear problem.
2. Templates & Checklists
Why This Works:
People love time-savers. You give them pre-done formats, and they fucking love you for it.
You create it once, then sell it a hundred or even a thousand times.
Example:
Marketing: Social media calendar template
Personal Finance: Monthly budget spreadsheet
Tip:
Polish your design—perceived value matters. If it looks like a child’s scribble, no sale.
3. Audio Files or Music Packs
Why This Works:
If you’re musically inclined (or know someone who is), loops and background tracks are in demand.
Podcasters, YouTubers, and indie filmmakers always need royalty-free tunes.
Example:
Wedding Videography: Soft acoustic music pack for romantic montages
Gamers/Streamers: Catchy intro/outro jingle
Tip:
Be crystal clear about licensing (e.g., personal use vs. commercial). You can charge more if it’s commercial-friendly.
4. Online Workshops or Webinars
Why This Works:
You only need to record once, and you can sell the replay forever.
Webinars position you as the badass expert who’s worth paying attention to.
Example:
Art Niche: “Mastering Watercolor Techniques” (2-hour workshop)
Marketing Niche: “How to Triple Your Email List in 60 Days” (pre-recorded webinar)
Tip:
Offer a live Q&A for early adopters, gather testimonials, and sell the replay afterward at a premium.
5. Stock Photos or Footage
Why This Works:
People are sick of the same cheesy stock images. If you’re halfway decent at photography or videography, there’s a market for unique visuals.
Once uploaded to stock sites (or your own platform), you keep earning from each download.
Example:
Lifestyle: Diverse sets of people or cultures (high demand, less competition)
Niche: Macro shots of specialty ingredients, vintage props, etc.
Tip:
Niche stock can be a goldmine—like hyper-specific tech or medical images that standard stock libraries don’t offer.
6. Printables & Planners
Why This Works:
People pay for convenience. A well-designed PDF planner can make someone’s daily life easier.
Instant gratification—customer pays, downloads, and prints on their own.
Example:
Wellness: Monthly habit tracker
Wedding: Budget planner, guest list organizer
Tip:
Add small touches of design flair. A visually appealing planner feels higher value, so you can bump up the price.
7. Membership or Community Access
Why This Works:
Recurring revenue. That’s the dream, right?
Your digital product isn’t just a file—it’s access to you and a network of likeminded folks.
Example:
Freelancers: A Slack or Discord group for monthly tips, job leads, Q&As
Lifestyle: A subscription-based “mastermind” for people trying to quit sugar or get fit
Tip:
Make the community worth it—regular live calls, exclusive content, and a supportive vibe. If it’s just a dead chat room, people bail.
8. Preset Packs & Filters (Photo/Video Editing)
Why This Works:
Instagrammers, TikTokers, and small businesses want to look professional without learning complex editing from scratch.
You create a handful of presets for Lightroom or filter packs for video editing software, and boom—instant digital product.
Example:
Lifestyle Influencers: “Bright & Airy” Lightroom presets for consistent Instagram feeds
Videographers: LUTs (color grading filters) for cinematic travel vlogs
Tip:
Show before-and-after examples so buyers can see the transformation.
9. Mini-Courses
Why This Works:
Full-blown courses can be overwhelming. Mini-courses let you make a killer, laser-focused product quickly.
If well-received, you can expand into a bigger, more expensive course later.
Example:
Language Learning: “Speak Basic Spanish in 7 Days”
Finance: “Side Hustle Taxes 101: Avoid The IRS Nightmare”
Tip:
Don’t cram 100 hours of content in there. Focus on one outcome so people can see real progress fast.
10. Done-for-You Services (Packaged Digitally)
Why This Works:
People pay a premium if you do the heavy lifting for them.
Even though it’s partially “service-based,” you can package deliverables digitally.
Example:
Website Audits: Detailed PDF report on what someone should fix to improve SEO or design
Resume Revamps: Send in your resume, get a polished PDF back with professional edits
Tip:
Limit your scope. Make it a neat, standardized package so you’re not dealing with constant custom quotes.
So, How the Hell Do You Sell This Stuff?
Let’s keep it simple:
Choose a Platform: Gumroad, Podia, Etsy, or your own site. Doesn’t matter—just pick one and don’t overthink it.
Price It Properly: Look at competition. If you’re solving a big headache, charge accordingly.
Market Like You Mean It: Scream about your product on social media, build an email list, do guest posts—whatever it takes.
