You Can Make Money Selling Digital Products (Learn the Most Profitable Digital Products and Where to Sell Them!)
Share
Let’s be honest! You're probably tired of side hustles that burn you out, scams that promise overnight success, and all the “just start a YouTube channel” advice that doesn’t feel like you.
So here’s the truth, plain and simple:
You can absolutely make real money selling digital products — even if you're shy, starting from zero, or don’t want to show your face online.
And the best part? You don’t need a huge audience. You don’t need to go viral. You just need the right product, the right platform, and a little consistency.
This blog post will show you:
✔ The most profitable types of digital products in 2025
✔ Where to sell them (with or without your face)
✔ And how to start even if you're a total beginner
But First… What Are Digital Products?
Digital products are downloadable or shareable assets people can purchase and use right away. No shipping, no stock, no stress.
Think:
- Templates
- E-books & guides
- Checklists & planners
- Online courses
- Social media bundles
- Lightroom presets
- Journals & workbooks
- Notion dashboards
- Printables
These are things you can create once and sell over and over again. That’s why it’s called passive income, babe.
(And no, it’s not just for “techy” people.)
The Most Profitable Digital Products Right Now
Let’s skip the fluff, here’s what’s selling like hotcakes right now:
1. Editable Canva Templates
People want things done for them. If you can make beautiful, editable templates for business owners, influencers, or coaches. You're golden.
Best Sellers:
- Instagram Reels covers
- Business card templates
- Coaching workbooks
- Lead magnet templates
✔ Start simple. One bundle is enough to begin.
2. Mini E-Books & Guides
These are short, actionable digital books, think “How to Start an Etsy Shop in a Weekend” or “15 Reel Hooks for Introverts.”
Why they work:
They offer quick wins and solve real problems.
Bonus: You can sell them on your site or use them as freebies to grow your email list.
3. Digital Planners & Journals
This niche is perfect if you love wellness, mental health, or organization.
People love planning, especially if it’s aesthetic and easy to use.
Pro tip: Design your planner in Canva, export as a PDF, and you’re good to go.
4. Social Media Content Packs
For busy entrepreneurs, batching content is life. Content calendars, caption packs, post ideas, it’s all gold.
✔ Bundle it up and sell it to creators, coaches, and digital product sellers.
5. Niche Printables
Yes, printables are still alive and well. Think:
- Wedding checklists
- Kids’ chore charts
- Meal planners
- Self-care routines
They sell especially well on Etsy.
Where to Sell Digital Products
Here’s where it gets even better, you can choose a platform that fits your vibe. You don’t have to dance on TikTok (unless you want to 😉).
✅ Stan Store
Super beginner-friendly. Link your freebies, eBooks, and templates in one cute digital shop.
Perfect for creators, coaches, and aesthetic sellers who want one simple storefront.
✅ Etsy
The go-to for templates, printables, and planners.
Great built-in audience but more competition. Your design needs to stand out, and SEO is important here.
✅ Gumroad
A solid option for minimalist shops and digital downloads. Also easy to set up, with a free plan.
✅ Shopify (what I use at Cashique)
Best for long-term brands with a larger product suite. Requires more setup but gives you total control.
But Will People Actually Buy From Me?
YES. And here's why:
- People don’t want to figure everything out themselves.
- They don’t want to start from scratch.
- They want shortcuts, templates, and ready-made solutions.
If you can offer value in a cute, easy-to-use format, you're not just selling a product.
You’re saving someone time, stress, and energy.
That’s worth paying for.
