Summary of "The 10 BEST Digital Products to Sell Online Right Now đź’°"
Business takeaways: “10 best digital products to sell online right now”
Digital product sales are increasingly competitive. Success depends on choosing the right product type—one that matches a clear customer need—and executing on speed-to-market, positioning, and distribution (often via marketplaces plus search/SEO).
1) Online mini-courses (micro-courses)
Strategy / positioning
- Offer a small, targeted transformation for a specific audience segment.
- Sell “quick wins” instead of a comprehensive full curriculum.
Framework / product design playbook
- Define: one problem → one target customer → one outcome
- Positioning example:
- “Instagram reels” mini-course vs. a full Instagram course
- “SEO for digital marketing” mini-course vs. a full digital marketing course
Price & target
- Typical mini-course price range: $27–$197
Go-to-market / operations
- Create quickly with tools:
- Canva for slide decks
- Loom / QuickTime for screen recordings
- Phone recording + Descript for talking-head + editing
- Host via:
- Udemy (marketplace), or
- Kajabi / Teachable / Thinkific (own site)
Pros / cons
- Pros: higher price than many digital products; can be semi-automated for ongoing sales.
- Cons: more effort/time than templates; if hosting on your own site, you need intentional audience-building.
2) Google Sheets templates
What to sell
Ready-to-use spreadsheets that remove build effort for buyers, such as:
- Profit calculators (e-commerce)
- Social media planners
- Budget trackers
Price & demand
- $5–$39 depending on single template vs. bundles
Operations / creation
- Build in Google Sheets
- Optionally add a Canva instruction sheet
Distribution
- Marketplaces: Etsy, Gumroad
- Own store: Shopify (more customization vs. marketplace)
KPI ideas (implied)
Because pricing varies by complexity, success depends on matching perceived value to template robustness.

- Invitations, social graphics, slide decks
- Resumés, lead magnets, workbooks, ebooks/guides
Price & packaging
- $5–$25 per single template

Tooling / requirement

Pros / cons
- Pros: beginner-friendly tool; strong demand among creators/entrepreneurs.

In-depth guides that substitute for a “full course” when buyers want structured knowledge.

Creation workflow

Ongoing access to coaching/resources/training/community via monthly or annual recurring payments—best for buyers who want continuous support and new resources.
Pricing examples
- Low tier: $9/month
- Higher tier: “a couple hundred per month” (community + live training + coaching + tools/resources)
Key success principle
- Niche-specific membership (avoid “appeals to everyone”).
Examples

- live training once a month (speaker’s example)
- Note: the speaker’s example is described as a one-time payment despite using a group-training model.
Platforms
- Facebook groups, Kajabi community hosting, Circle, or email-based delivery
Revenue model KPIs (implied)

Pros / cons
- Pros: large parent/teacher audience; buyers often purchase multiple packs → repeat opportunities.
- Cons: more time needed to create robust sets.
- Upside: once created, can be sold passively repeatedly.
10) “AI coach clone” (AI-powered assistant trained on your content)
Core idea / product
An AI assistant trained to deliver advice/guidance “like an expert,” using the creator’s existing lessons/content.
- Speaker example: Kate AI
- trained on “every lesson, piece of content, course, and video” created by the speaker
- trained on her voice
- users can chat via text or call to hear a voice-style interaction
Business problem solved
Scales the “1:1 coaching feel” without delivering every session personally, reducing dependence on limited coaching hours and lower the friction compared to high-priced human coaching.
Target users / niches
- Fitness coaches
- Business mentors
- Homeschool help
- Social media strategists
- Other experts/trainers
Pricing
- $25–$99 per month (speaker’s claim)
Monetization model
- Sell as a standalone product or as an upsell/add-on to courses/coaching programs
- Recurring revenue model: monthly access
Build approach / tool
- Uses Deli (speaker’s tool) as the hosting/build platform
- Training takes time; once launched it “stays up to date” as new content is added
Operational economics (explicit)
- Speaker pays a monthly hosting/platform fee to Delifi/Deli
- Profitability requires monthly revenue to cover that fee
Pros / cons
- Pros: highly scalable; potentially close to passive; leverages existing content.
