Using a free platform like Canva to make your products and a free platform to sell your products will enable you to get started with a digital product business without investing a lot of money. From that perspective, you can literally earn money for free.
There may be fees on the back end, (when you sell something) depending on the platform you use. But once you sell something you'll have money to work with since these products are so inexpensive to make.
