If you’re ready to start a side hustle from home but feel overwhelmed by all the possibilities, you’re not alone. There are so many types of digital products you could sell—how do you choose the right one?
The best way to start is to look at what’s already working. Popular digital products tend to solve real problems, are easy to deliver online, and don’t require a huge audience to sell.
In this post, I’ll walk you through some of the most in-demand digital products that moms (and other online entrepreneurs) are creating—and why they sell so well.
💡 DEFINITION: What Is a Digital Product?
A digital product is anything you can sell and deliver electronically. No physical inventory, no shipping. Buyers download it instantly, and you create it once and sell it over and over.
