💡 How to Start Selling Digital Downloads
Selling digital downloads is one of the easiest and most beginner-friendly ways to make money online—because once you create the product, it can sell again and again with no extra work.
✅ Step 1: Choose What to Sell
Start with something simple that solves a problem:
- eBooks: Short guides on something you know—parenting tips, dog training, meal prepping, or budgeting.
- Templates: Planners, resumes, social media posts, or spreadsheets that people can fill in.
- Planners: Daily, weekly, or monthly planners—especially if they look good and are easy to use.

No fancy tools needed. Use:
- Google Docs or Canva (for eBooks and templates)
- Canva or PowerPoint (for planners or PDFs)
Make it clean, helpful, and easy to read. Don’t worry about perfection—just be useful.
✅ Step 3: Save & Upload
Save your file as a PDF—the most universal format—and you’re ready to sell.
✅ Step 4: List It Online
Start selling immediately using:
- Payhip.com (free, beginner-friendly)
- Etsy.com (great for planners and templates)
- Gumroad.com (perfect for eBooks or creative products)
- Or your own website with a simple “Buy Now” button
