According to Wikipedia, digital products are intangible goods that exist in digital form, like the digital wall art featured (above) in this post.
This lesson will show you ten digital products (nine + 1 bonus) you can make and sell online as a side hustle. You can also use them to build a full time online business virtually for free (for a very low upfront investment) as well.
Many people are surprised to discover the wide variety and selection of products they can create and sell in a digital product shop.
The Importance of Selecting a Niche
Once you learn about the types of digital products available, the big question becomes, which products will you create?
It's important to choose a niche that fits your hobbies, skills and interests. Once you have a niche selected, it will make it much easier to create products that serve that niche and the target audience of people who are part of that niche.
Performing market research and selecting a niche (as shown in the Resources section of the previous lesson) and staying focused on your niche will help you create products that will fit the needs of people who are looking for products like yours to reach their goals.
Understanding your market (niche) and creating a business around a targeted audience will help you get better results than being all over the place. When you're all over the place you run the risk of burn out and frustration, because it's like chasing a moving target that you'll never hit.

Examples of Digital Products
This video lesson will show you some of the products you can create using a free or paid platform like Canva. You can use a variety of other free resources like Google Docs, Google Slides and Google Sheets to create digital products as well.
When selecting the kinds of digital products you'll include in your business, think of your target audience and the kinds of products that will help them reach their goals. You might even consider reaching out to people in various social media groups to test your ideas before going in full force with a product line.
