What you've said here is explicit, I've learned from it. The option on my mind is cresting an ebook and selling at Amazon, audiobooks. I love writing and very soon, I'll be sharing my knowledge on the things I think makes me money. At this time, I'm not going to rush it up nor pirate another author's book and changing it's cover just to earn reward from it. I want to be the sole owner of the book, no copyright infringement, I know it will take time for me to get there. But nothing will stop me provided that, I'm ready for it. Let's see how it goes in tbe future, their are many things to write for, it just depends on how beneficial the niche it's to you before sharing for others to gain knowledge about it.

Selling podcasts is an option option, I've seen and heard about users selling this records which is based on enlightenment to other users who needed it most, that's tremendous way if sharing make money opportunities as well. Graphics designs, websites, YouTube channel, domain names, etc, are digital products to sell off and make money from. That's options newbies should look into, I'm still weighing my options to go into them.

You can sell digital products on your own store or third-party marketplaces. You only create the product once but can sell it again and again and make money. In fact, selling digital products is one of the best ways to build a passive income source. However, you need knowledge and skills to create digital products. For instance, you can sell digital art on fine art America and make passive income, however, you need photoshop skills to create digital art, you can sell ebook on Amazon, in fact selling ebooks is one of the best ways to make money online, however, before you can sell ebooks you need ebook writing skills. You can sell printables, calendars, etc, but before you can sell you need to create these items and you need graphic designing skills to create these products. Selling courses is very lucrative, however, before you can sell courses you need video-making skills (for video courses) podcasting skills (for audio courses), and writing skills (to write course materials). If you do not have the skills and expertise to create digital products you might not be able to create digital courses. Last but not the least, you also need digital marketing and SEO skills to sell proucts.

Well I see you all made crucial points, but If you're selling digital products, there's a good chance you're using an automated sales funnel. A sales funnel is a way to organize your product offerings, marketing efforts and customer relationships so you can get more people through your sales process and make more money.

Sales funnels are most commonly used by e-commerce businesses with physical products. Digital products don't have a physical presence, so it makes sense that many digital sellers don't think about them. But digital products can be sold in the same way as physical ones. Here's how:

Create an offer for your target market

You need to be able to create a compelling offer that makes sense to your audience. In this case, it will likely be free or low cost. The offer should provide enough value that people would want to sign up — but not so much that they'd feel obligated to buy something later on down the line just because they signed up early on. For example, if you're selling courses on how to make money online, then offering an email course might be enough of an incentive for someone interested in making money online and willing to learn more about it. If you're selling courses on how to make money from home without leavingleaving.

Good morning from my region everyone! Your thread is very interesting and useful indeed. It is a great idea to make money by selling digital products. To be honest, I have not tried this earning method yet although I have heard that a lot of people around the world make a good income every day just by selling digital products. The good news is that you can sell the same product over and over again. What's more, by selling digital products, you earn money passively! It is wonderful that you can sell these products either on your own store or on other marketplaces like Amazon, Etsy or Udemy. Thank you for explaining everything very well in your post. This is very helpful for everyone and especially for beginners like myself. It is highly appreciated.

Selling digital products such as online courses has been on my mind lately. Indeed, it's a great idea when one is looking for a passive stream of income. In my country, for instance, registered professionals are usually required to attend seminars or training as part of their continuing professional development. We can make take advantage of such requirements by offering webinars or pre-recorded learning videos on topics relevant to their professions.

I have been planning to put together basic office productivity training videos to offer as an 80-hour ICT training course for teachers who may need ICT training certifications to boost their ranking in the public teaching qualifications. If you happen to do a search on Facebook for this topic, you'll find several users offering ICT courses that people can finish at their own pace or in the shortest time if they actually need the certificate badly. Most are offering these simple courses at a hefty price. I can use the certification myself but I believe that I can offer the same basic courses at a more reasonable rate. People nowadays are looking for alternative or flexible ways to earn learning credits and that's the opportunity to introduce online training. For this purpose, one may have to register formally as a business.

Before you want to sell digital products, you need the right skills and knowledge to create digital products, for example, if you want to sell ebooks, you need writing skills, not general writing skills for advanced language and writing skills. If you cannot produce a good quality ebook, you cannot sell your ebook, and when you cannot sell your ebook there the whole idea of selling digital products become nothingness. If you want to sell printables, you need graphic designing skills, you need advanced skills with Photoshop. Well, you can use Canva to design printables but even when you use Canva, you need professional skills to create a digital product. If you do not have the skills to create the digital product you want to sell, you can either attend training to develop skills or hire someone to design the product. As far as I am concerned, the option is better.
