The article discusses the challenges creators face in selling digital products, emphasizing the importance of strategic decisions in format selection. Many creators launch products without thorough planning, leading to burnout and failure. The author advocates for focusing on digital asset types that require less maintenance and offer scalable opportunities, such as templates and swipe files versus more demanding options like courses. To succeed, creators should align their products with their strengths and audience needs and build a diverse portfolio of offerings.
Creating and selling digital assets looks simple on the surface: make once, sell infinitely, enjoy passive income. Yet thousands of creators burn out chasing this dream.
Successful digital entrepreneurs win by obsessively solving specific problems, choosing formats that play to their strengths, and showing up consistently long after amateurs have moved on.
Templates and swipe files typically require the least time investment while providing solid returns. A well-designed Notion dashboard or email template collection can sell for $19-97.
Your advantage comes from understanding which digital product types align with your skills and audience needs, then executing at a level few competitors will match.
