Creating and launching a successful digital product offer can be an intimidating process. But it doesn’t have to be! With the right steps in place, you can create, build, and launch a profitable digital product offer with ease. In this blog post, we’ll walk through the 5 essential steps of how to create digital products so that you can get started on your own profitable venture quickly and confidently.

What is a digital product offer?

A digital product offer is any product or service delivered digitally online.

Digital products can include ebooks, software applications, online courses, webinars, and more. These products offer customers convenience, flexibility, and value as they can be accessed anytime from anywhere with an internet connection.

Why is it important to create a digital product?

Creating a successful digital product offer can bring in consistent revenue, provide passive income, and help you find an engaged audience of customers. I believe a purpose-driven business is powered by digital products.

The benefits of creating and launching a digital product vs. physical goods

Selling digital products offers numerous advantages that make it particularly enticing for entrepreneurs. Here are five to consider:

  • Low overhead costs. There’s no need to store inventory or bear any shipping costs. This means no trips to the post office, labels to print or packing supplies to buy, and no wasted items collecting dust in your storage room.
  • High profit margins. Because digital goods do not incur a high cost of goods, you can retain the majority of your sales as profit. Your only expenses are the software, tools, processing fees, taxes, and time. With physical goods, you keep roughly 10% of revenue as profit – with digital goods you are looking more at 55-65% using the Profit First pricing plan.
  • Potential to automate. Instant delivery of orders allows you to take a more hands-off approach to fulfillment, freeing up your time and resources.
  • Flexible products. As you build your value ladder – you can offer free products (lead magnets) to build your email list, sell bite-sized courses, or offer paid subscriptions for access to exclusive digital content.
  • E-learning is the future of education. There is a tremendous opportunity for your business to expand its reach internationally and make a significant impact by implementing e-learning solutions… an industry expected to be worth $374 billion by 2026.

5 Steps From Concept to Launch: How to Create Digital Products

Step 1: Identify Your Audience and Validate Your Idea

The first step to creating a successful digital product offer is to define your target audience. Who are they, what are their pain points, and what solutions are they looking for? This is the market that you will be serving.

Before you start creating a product, it’s important to know who your audience is and what they want. Otherwise, you’ll create a product you think they need that they don’t actually want to buy.

Take some time to research your target audience and create a buyer persona. I like to call this your ICA – ideal client avatar. You’ll also hear me refer to it as your niche.

Once you’ve defined your audience and researched their pain points and major frustrations, brainstorm product ideas that you can create to solve their immediate problems.

Then, validate your idea by conducting market research or a survey to see if there is demand for your product. This is where you get into niche Facebook Groups, read Reddit threads, start conversations in their DMs, or set up a call.

Is it an e-book that provides step-by-step instructions? Or a video course that walks them through a process? Start with one idea, but be open to pivoting if necessary as you do more market research.

Once you have validated your idea, you can move on to the next step.

Step 2: Create Your Product

Now that you have validated your idea, it’s time to create your product. Whether you choose to create an online course, eBook, or membership site, make sure your content is high-quality and actionable. Think quick win!

Your product should solve your audience’s IMMEDIATE problem and be a valuable asset to them. Once you’ve created your product, it’s time to move on to the next step.

Step 3: Set Up Your Website and Sales Funnel

Before launching your product, you must have a website and sales funnel in place.

Your website should be professional but simple, easy to navigate, and convey your brand’s message.

And when I mention a website, this doesn’t need to be an extravagant 10-page website with fancy moving parts and transitions – you need a landing page to promote your product. That’s it.

You don’t need to go overboard here to start.

Your landing page should be optimized for conversions, with clear messaging and a call-to-action.

Your sales funnel should guide visitors through the buying process and include bumps, upsells, and downsells to maximize revenue. Make sure to optimize your sales funnel for conversions.

Step 4: Launch Your Product

Now that you’ve created your product and set up your website and sales funnel, it’s time to launch your product and drive traffic.

You can drive traffic using social media, paid advertising, content marketing, and email marketing. Make sure to track your metrics and adjust your strategy accordingly.

Once you’ve launched your product, it’s important to keep promoting it and improving it.

Step 5: Scale Your Business

Once your product is successful, it’s time to scale your business. Maybe this could be adding another product to your value ladder, investing in ads, creating another intro product that brings people into your sales funnel, or introducing a recurring membership or community option.

The key is to continue providing value to your audience and growing your brand reach.
