There are a lot of beautiful things about digital products, that physical products simply can’t compete with.

Instant distribution, for one. There’s no need to deal with picking and packing, shipping and returns. You can put it up for sale, and it’s available for consumption instantly.

Ease of creation is huge as well – there’s no need to deal with foreign factories, import laws, and ordering thousands of units at a time to meet factory minimums.

This is why digital products are so popular for bloggers, vloggers, and other content creators online. The risks are low, and upsides are very high.

However, perhaps one of the greatest benefits that digital products have is the fact that they can continuously updated over time. They never have to be truly complete, and always have room to be improved. Because of this, it’s possible to start out with something very small, and have it blossom into something truly amazing over time.

In this article, we’ll go over more about why you need to be updating your products, and how to do so in a way that continues stacking on value for your customers. [Read more…]

The Definitive Guide To Establishing Trust, Before The Sale

When you’re just starting out online, getting initial sales can be tough.

You don’t have the data you need to optimize your sales pages. Even worse, that data seems so far out of reach because you’re hardly making any sales.

Listen – your product may be a great value, it may eventually go on to become a best seller without any changes at all from you.

The problem right now may simply be that the person doesn’t trust you. Not only that, but even though their heart is looking for reasons to buy, their brain is instilling fear, doubt, and uncertainty in them.

Ultimately, a lack of trust kills conversions even more quickly than a high price does.

Remember – when people feel that your product is more valuable than what you’re asking for it, and they trust your company enough that you’ll deliver on that value, they will buy.

It all comes down to that.

In this article, let’s look over how you can begin building that critical, initial trust for your website. These methods are the same regardless of whether you’re a blogger, eCommerce store owner, course creator, book author, or anyone else selling physical and digital products online.

5 Digital Products You Can Create This Week, To Skyrocket Online Earnings

Note: Listen to this post instead using the audio player below!

It’s a well-known fact that creating your own product is one of the greatest ways to make money from your website, YouTube channel, or podcast.

You build something you already know your audience is interested in, and offer it for sale.

Moreso than any other product you’ve promoted before, buyers pull out their credit cards, because they already know, like and trust you.

After all, the free content you put out is already great, so whatever you’re charging for must be really freaking good.

However, most bloggers don’t offer their own products for sale, which perplexed me a little bit. After asking a bunch of bloggers, YouTubers, and podcasters why this is, the response was almost always the same:

“I don’t have time to create my own product. Besides, I can just offer other people’s products as an affiliate.”

This post is going to destroy that excuse once and for all. In this article, I will share with you 5 product ideas you can start and begin selling this week.
