What is a digital product?
When your business is WordPress plugins and themes (as ours is), you’re bound to see a ton of different product types that website owners are selling. And the most common of these products are digital products.
In this article, you’ll learn about 11 digital product ideas that sell extremely well. Consider some of these as you begin to build your plan for creating your own digital product.
As you may have already personally experienced, selling physical inventory, whether handmade, purchased and resold, or drop-shipped, is extremely changeable and time-consuming. And beyond that, there are the added issues of:
- Inventory management
- Shipping
- Importing
- International buyers
- Taxes
- Federal, state, and local laws
And that’s just to name a few.
Digital products, however, are very different.
The Benefits of Digital Products
Digital products are:
- Much more sustainable
- Infinitely replicable
- Easy to deliver and distribute
- Much simpler to make
With only one or two devices, anyone can make a quality digital product that’s worthy of distribution. What’s best, there are no factories, staff, or physical materials needed.
All you’ll need is a computer, a passion for dive, and a little bit of time.
And this leads to a question beyond, “what is a digital product?” to, “what kind of digital product can I create?”
Ultimately, the answer will be, “any kind of digital product that you want to create.”
Different Types of Digital Products
If you have important information you want to share, it can be made into a sellable digital product. You can share things like your talents, opinions, knowledge, and passions while making some decent money as you go.
1. Ebooks and Guides
Even in 2021 and beyond, eBooks will continue to be one of the top digital products for customers and content creators. Ebooks are easy to produce because all they really need is quality written text and a couple of supporting images.
For content creators, they’re easy to distribute to huge markets or within their own WordPress websites. And they’re easy for buyers to consume because they can read them on any device they’d like.
What’s great about eBooks is that you can write about anything you know or are passionate about. You’ll be able to advise, educate, or curate existing information with your own eBook, then sell it on your WordPress site. Plus, ebooks and guides make excellent lead magnets for your website.
