Living in the age of digital can be a huge benefit not just to your career, but making a living outside of it. Whilst physical products are still very much valuable, digital products have surged in popularity and are highly valuable. Whether it be video games, music, podcasts or day-to-day apps, everything we need is literally at our fingertips and there’s no need to wait for a delivery! 

Selling digital products only requires you to have an internet connection, laptop, desktop, or mobile device. The lack of physical resources is a huge advantage. But what products are high in demand right now? Let’s take a look: 

eBooks 

eBooks are one of the most popular digital products for both consumers and creators alike. One of the reasons why they’re so popular is because they only require text and some images to produce. They’re accessible on e-readers, tablets, and computers, as well as being easy to distribute on large marketplaces.  

Web-based applications 

Applications are often referred to as software you can download and install on your device. However, “web-based” applications run on web browsers. They are also known as SaaS (Software as a Service). These applications have become a solution for many businesses as of late, and some of the well-known applications include Dropbox, iCloud, and Google Drive. 

Selling this product and aiding business and employee productivity will bring major benefits. 

Software solutions 

Speaking of software, this probably brings the most opportunity when it comes to selling digital products. People use apps every single day; whether that be social media, fitness, travel, retail or music, and podcast apps. 

The software industry is constantly growing and the ability to code allows you to make products people need. 

Courses 

Digital courses have been one of the leading products in recent times. They’re enhancing skills and knowledge, whilst being available to access 24/7 when it suits. As the demand for courses grows, businesses are looking for new ways to sell their digital courses. 

Graphics and digital art

Graphics and digital art have surged in popularity, and have become a key component in marketing and social media strategies. The ability to create visually compelling art as a product could bring in major business. Businesses and professionals are always looking for creative ways to promote their services; and products including logos, presentations, design templates, backgrounds, and more. 

Audio 

Audio files are a very convenient way to send and listen to messages. They can come in the form of voice notes, music, podcasts, lectures, and tutorials amongst others. Listening to audio on the go is the norm nowadays, and it is one of the most popular products to sell. 

Documents 

If you’re looking to inform your audience, then documents could be a very good option. They could be for the purpose of providing tips, outlining information, case studies, or instruction manuals. If you have services that are advertised through a website, you can take parts of this and put it in a document format. 

Videos 

Visual content is one of the most popular forms of content. Thanks to platforms such as YouTube and TikTok, video has become the content that users engage with the most and make income. Freelance video editors and creators are in high demand, and a business seeking educational, informative, or entertaining content will be on the lookout for talented video professionals. 

Videos can be sold in various formats, made suitable for different platforms.
