Digital Products Can Turn Knowledge Into an Online Business

Digital products are downloadable or online-delivered resources such as templates, guides, ebooks, courses, spreadsheets, checklists and creative assets. Unlike physical products, they can often be created once and delivered repeatedly without shipping inventory.

The strongest digital products usually solve a specific problem for a clearly defined audience. Instead of trying to create something for everyone, start by understanding what your audience needs and what you can create well.

BusinessClock covers the practical side of digital products, including choosing an idea, creating the product, setting a price, finding customers and building a repeatable sales process.

Before You Start

What to Know About Digital Products

  • Start with a real problem: useful products are easier to position when they solve a specific customer need.
  • Keep the first product focused: a smaller product can be easier to create, test and improve.
  • Choose the right format: templates, guides, spreadsheets, courses and other formats work for different problems.
  • Price around value: consider the usefulness, depth, audience, alternatives and support involved when setting a price.
  • Build distribution: a good product still needs a way to reach potential customers through content, email, search, partnerships or other channels.
