- Hi everyone, I'm Emma.
- And I'm Darlene.
And we're currently living in a time
where you can conduct the entirety
of your business from your couch.
- Exactly, selling physical products
whether handmade or created by someone else
is highly challenging and extremely time consuming.
So there are the added complexities of shipping,
international customers, taxes, laws, importing,
inventory management, and so on.
- In comparison, digital products are easy to distribute.
Significantly more sustainable,
can be replicated infinitely,
and are often times simpler to create.
With one or more devices,
any person is capable of making a digital product
worthy of sharing or selling.
No physical materials, factories, or staff required.
Just a computer, a sprinkle of passion, and drive.
And some time.
- If you have a passion,
you can turn it into a digital product to sell.
You can share your knowledge, talents, or opinions.
And potentially make some money along the way.
But if you need some inspiration we've gathered a short list
of digital products you can sell online.
- Starting with digital art.
Design has become a heavily digitized industry.
While simultaneously being in demand,
and dependent on knowledge, and use of expensive tools
and good taste.
That makes for the perfect skill set to sell online.
- From the practical side of things,
logos and other simple graphics
are comparatively fast to make.
Especially if you already have some experience
in that field.
So it's a win-win.
Other things like wallpapers, posters,
or prints, or even editing software presets.
- Sites like Fiverr and Upwork
are a great place to get started.
But you'll also wanna make sure
they're available on your own website as well.
- Next up, eBooks.
Writing an eBook gives you unlimited possibilities.
Since you don't need to worry about distribution as much.
All you need is an idea, your trusty computer,
a writing nook where you feel comfortable yet inspired.
And a decent internet connection.
- Self-publishing has become a modern day reality.
Letting anyone with anything to offer the world
the ability to make it available online.
And sell it too.
Put words into documents via an eBook or a pdf
and turn it into value.
- Exactly, they're easily consumable.
They're great for building credibility.
And they can generate income through your content.
- Then there's also audio and music.
Audio is a powerful medium for communicating messages
and there are many different types
of audio digital products.
People pay for audio tracks that entertain them,
soothe them, inform them, and inspire them.
- So if you're a musician
who's just still waiting to be discovered by Usher,
selling songs as stock music
is a great way to get some extra cash on the side.
TV shows, the film industry, or even your everyday YouTuber
are constantly on the lookout
for fresh tunes to put in their projects.
And what's great about it,
if you're a musician, you've already got the skills
and the team to create the product they need.
- It's not so much about the tools
as it is about knowing how to use them.
Some knowledge in music theory might help
but other than that have your own style.
Get into mixing and start making that music.
- Then there is your knowledge.
If you are skilled in certain topics
chances are there are people who want to learn from you.
Since we're all at home,
consuming more digital content than ever before,
there are plenty of ways
to sell your time online.
- With school's being moved to online,
you could tutor any topic you feel most confident in.
From math to a foreign language, or even guitar lessons.
You can set your own rate and hours of instruction.
- You could also take it a step further
and just package your knowledge into a premade product
that people can download online.
And the difference from online tutoring
is that you don't need to do it multiple times
you can just sit back and watch the downloads.
- There's plenty of course formats
so pick a form that lets you use your other creative skills.
If you're great at public speaking,
create courses on Skillshare or Udemy.
If you're better at the written word,
pass on your knowledge in the form
of an eBook course on your own website.
- Lastly, your time.
These days all kinds of service providers
are now selling their services online.
Translators, consultants, trainers, coaches,
and editors just to name a few.
Services are of course not products at all.
However, they are commonly sold in the same way
digital products are.
- In the world of E-commerce
the line between product and service
has become a little fuzzy
and in many cases the customer doesn't care very much
about the difference.
With many service based jobs,
you're selling your time in exchange
for a specific outcome or result,
instead of a product.
- Starting to sell products online,
it may be daunting.
But deciding on the product,
that's the hardest part.
It just gets easier from there.
All it takes is choosing a product from this list,
putting together the digital asset,
and then launching your store.
- So whether you're looking to create
some supplementary income
or launch a full fledged online business,
you've come to the right place.
Stay safe.
- Stay healthy.
