If you're ready to dive into the world of digital products but don't know where to start, this guide is for you. We will walk you through some simples steps to create your first digital product, and also show you how we can help you bring your vision to life.

The first step is turning your knowledge into cash and you might be surprised at how many different skill sets you already have that are just waiting to be monetised.

Step 1: Identify Your Niche and Audience

The first step in creating a successful digital product is to identify your niche and target audience. The most beginner friendly way to do this is to ask yourself:

- What am I passionate about?

- What skills or knowledge do I possess that others might find valuable?

- Who would benefit from this information?

This will help you to start brainstorming ideas for the things you are interested in, the products you could create and the people you could impact by creating the digital product.

Step 2: Choose the Right Digital Product Type

The options for digital products are endless, but here are some popular ones to start with:

e-Books
eBooks allow you to delve deep into a subject, offering valuable insights and comprehensive information. They're ideal for thought leadership, storytelling, and educational content.

Online Courses
Online courses are perfect for breaking down complex topics into manageable lessons. They can include video tutorials, quizzes, and assignments to enhance learning.

Printables
Printables are downloadable files that customers can print at home. They include planners, calendars, worksheets, colouring pages, and organisational templates.

Membership Sites
Membership sites provide a continuous stream of exclusive content, such as articles, videos, webinars, and community access. Subscribers pay a recurring fee for ongoing value.

Webinars and Workshops
Webinars and workshops allow you to engage with your audience in real-time or through recorded sessions. They are great for teaching new skills, discussing trends, and answering questions.

Audio Books
Audiobooks cater to audiences who prefer listening over reading. They are perfect for busy individuals who want to consume content on the go.

Software and Apps 
Developing software or apps provides functional solutions to your audience's needs. This could range from productivity tools to entertainment apps.

Graphic Designs and Themes
Graphic designs, including logos, social media templates, website themes, and more, can be sold as downloadable assets for businesses and individuals.

Music and Audio Files
Musicians and audio producers can sell original tracks, sound effects, and background music for use in videos, games, and other media projects.

Photography and Stock Images
Photographers can sell their images as stock photos for use in marketing, websites, and publications. This includes bundles of themed photos or exclusive high-resolution images.

Templates and Spreadsheets
Templates for business plans, financial spreadsheets, and project management can save users time and effort by providing ready-to-use formats.

Online Coaching and Consulting
Offer your expertise through one-on-one or group coaching sessions conducted online. This can include business consulting, life coaching, or fitness training.

Digital Art and Illustrations
Artists can sell their digital art and illustrations as downloads for personal enjoyment or commercial use in design projects.

Start brainstorming the best format to deliver your knowledge to your audience. Ideally the format you choose would compliment your current skillset or something you feel comfortable starting with before expanding into different formats. 

Step 3: Plan Your Content

Once you've chosen your product type, you can then get to work on outlining the content you'd like to include in the product. For an eBook, this might involve creating a table of contents and drafting chapters. For an online course, it means planning modules and lessons. When you start to brainstorm and plan the content, ensure that your content is:

- Valuable: Provides actionable insights and solutions.

- Engaging: Keeps your audience interested and motivated.

- Well-Structured: Organised logically for easy understanding.

Step 4: Create Your Product

Once you decide on the digital product and have planned it out - it's time to bring your product to life and here are some simple steps to getting started.

- Writing and Editing: For eBooks and courses, write your content and have it professionally edited.

- Design and Layout: Ensure your product looks professional with appealing design and layout. Use tools like Canva or templates inside of Bish School to create professional 

- Recording and Editing: For video courses, record your lessons using a high-quality camera and microphone.

Step 5: Set Up Your Sales Platform

Choose a platform to sell your digital product. Popular options include:

- E-commerce Platforms: Shopify, WooCommerce, and Gumroad.

- Course Platforms: Teachable, Thinkific, and Kajabi.

- Marketplaces: Etsy (for printables), Amazon Kindle (for eBooks).

Set up your product, create a compelling sales page, and determine your pricing strategy.

Step 6: Promote Your Product

Effective promotion is key to driving sales. Use the following strategies:

- Social Media Marketing: Share your product on platforms where your audience is active.

- Email Marketing: Build an email list and send regular updates and promotions.

- Content Marketing: Create blog posts, videos, or podcasts that relate to your product and include a call-to-action.

- Collaborations: Partner with influencers or other businesses to expand your reach.

Step 7: Launch and Iterate
Launch your product with a bang. Announce it across all your channels and consider offering a limited-time discount to encourage early sales. After launching, gather feedback from customers and make improvements as needed.
