You’ve probably heard about people talking about selling digital products online. What are digital products? A digital product can be a course, an eBook, or an educational video series. Digital products are also referred to as info products since the item itself is information. Here we’re going to give you few ideas on how to cash in on the info product craze. Yes, it’s a craze, and some people are making big bucks creating and selling digital products.
Create a course teaching people how to do something
People are willing to pay good money to learn how to do something. Don’t believe it? Take a look at all the college students walking around campus the next time you’re near a college. All of those students paid to learn something. Don’t think that just because you’re on the internet that no one is going to pay for information.
What can you teach someone else how to do? That’s the question you have to ask yourself. Are you able to build a chicken coup from scratch? If so, you could create blueprints or make instructional videos teaching people how to make their own chicken coup. You might be a computer programmer who can teach those learning how to program at home how to get over their biggest obstacles. You’ll be surprised by the information that you have that others don’t.
Educational eBooks are a hit right now
Are you a blogger? If so, you could write an eBook teaching people how to start a blog. Maybe you like to make clothes and create your own patterns. You could turn those patterns into a downloadable eBook that people print out and make clothes from. Surely there is something that you’re good at you can write about. You could be a retired truck driver and write and eBook teaching new drivers about situations to look out for.
Videos don’t have to be sold to make money from them
Your gut reaction to the idea of creating videos is that no one is going to buy them in today’s world. After all, YouTube is one of the most visited sites on the internet, and it’s free. You’re right, selling a video course is difficult. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Quite a few people are making and selling video courses all the time. Udemy is pretty much nothing, but video courses and some of those educators make big bucks.
But, if you’re doubting your ability to make money by selling videos, then it’s possible to profit from them on YouTube. How? YouTube has a partnership program that pays content creators for the views their videos receive. If you can make videos that people find useful, then they’ll organically get views from YouTube. Not all niches earn the same from ad revenue on YouTube, so you’ll want to keep that in mind when creating videos. A funny video will receive a lower amount of money per 1,000 views than a video will that teaches someone how to transplant flowers from their flower bed to pots for indoor winter storage.
Information is power, and it’s also profitable
Every person reading this knows at least one thing they could teach people and make money from it. Knowing how to profit from your knowledge is something that takes quite a bit of time to learn, but it’s well worth the effort. It’s possible to turn a hobby that you enjoy into an educational series that earns money and teaches people how to pursue their passions.
