27 Digital Products To Create And Sell Like Wildfire in 2025

We are now in a world where it’s more digital than ever, and solopreneurs and creators are cashing in big by creating and selling digital products.

I learned how to start a graphic design business back in 2005 as a solo freelancer.

It was not only until 2024 that I started to use all the design and business skills I’ve learned to create and sell digital products like color palettes, media kit templates and more

I was skeptical at first and so surprised I managed to sell quite a few digital products some in a few months, while an online course in a few days of pre-launch.

If you’ve ever wondered, “What kind of digital product could I create and sell to make extra money?”, you’ll have 27 lightbulb moments. Let’s dive in!

1. Online Courses

Best for: Coaches, experts, and teachers

If you know something other people want to learn, whether it’s how to bake the perfect sourdough, master advanced Excel formulas, or scale an e-commerce business, you can turn that knowledge into an online course. Platforms like Teachable, Thinkific, or even Skillshare make it easy to package your expertise into bite-sized lessons with videos, worksheets, and quizzes.

Top categories:

• Business skills (e.g., digital marketing, sales strategies)
• Personal development (e.g., time management, mindfulness)
• Tech and software (e.g., coding, graphic design)
• Fitness and health (e.g., yoga for beginners, meal prepping)

Example:
An example of a successful Instagram marketing course is “Instagram Domination” by Nathan Chan, CEO of Foundr. I used to be in a mastermind group that he was involved before.

This course teaches strategies that enabled Foundr to amass over 500,000 followers in just 12 months. While he doesn’t publicly disclose specific monthly earnings, the course is very popular around the world. With Foundr’s explosive Instagram growth, I believe they are making significant revenue.

Why it sells well:
People love learning new skills they can monetize or improve their lives with, and an online course is a scalable way to meet that demand. Build once and sell it many times over.

2. E-books

Best for: Writers, educators, or anyone with specialized knowledge.

E-books are one of the simplest digital products to create. Whether you’re an expert in personal finance, a yoga enthusiast, or a fiction writer, you can package your knowledge or stories into an e-book that people can buy and instantly download and read. Self-publishing platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) make it super easy to reach anyone worldwide.

Top categories:

• Fiction genres (e.g., romance, fantasy, sci-fi)
• Self-help (e.g., productivity, mental health, relationships)
• How-to guides (e.g., starting a side hustle, mastering photography)
• Niche hobbies (e.g., urban gardening, DIY crafts, gaming strategies)

Example:
An example is Elena Assimakopoulos, a 26-year-old entrepreneur from London. Starting in 2021, she began publishing books on Amazon about candle making, a skill she is an expert at. She invested about £2,500 for her first book and a publishing course.

Currently, she has published eight books, earning over £70,000 so far. She now works just 2-3 hours daily on her side hustle and expects to earn £100,000 by the end of the year.

Why it sells well:
People want quick information they can refer to whenever they need it, on the go. If I can read something now without having to wait for a physical printed book to arrive, I would do so. And that’s how e-books can help. They provide structured knowledge that’s instantly available, lightweight and you can take notes saved in the cloud.

3. Membership Sites

Best for: Community builders and experts in niche topics

A membership site is a subscription-based platform where members pay a recurring fee for exclusive content, community access, and resources. If you can create an ongoing stream of valuable content or foster a sense of belonging, a membership site can be a goldmine. Think about niches where people seek consistent guidance, mentorship, or exclusive tools.

Top categories:

• Business networking (e.g., entrepreneurs, marketers)
• Fitness communities (e.g., weight loss challenges, yoga groups)
• Creative hobbies (e.g., photography, writing, music)
• Education hubs (e.g., test prep, professional certifications)

Example:
An example of a successful membership site is Brilliant.org, founded by Sue Khim. Brilliant.org offers interactive learning experiences in math, science, and computer science, catering to individuals seeking to enhance their problem-solving skills.

Operating on a freemium model, it provides free access to certain content while offering premium subscriptions for full course access. By 2017, the platform had grown to over 4 million registered users.

Why it sells well:
The best thing about membership is the community. When there’s a group with similar challenges, people can support each other and share what worked well for them and what didn’t. This makes them carry on to stay as a member. This in turn brings you recurring revenue in the long term.

4. Digital Templates

Best for: Graphic designers, marketers, and professionals with design expertise.

Digital templates are pre-designed files that users can customize to suit their needs. These can range from presentation slides and social media graphics to business cards and resumes. They save users time and effort, making them highly sought after.

Top categories:

• Presentation templates: PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides.
• Social media kits: Instagram posts/stories, Facebook covers, Pinterest graphics.
• Business documents: Invoices, business cards, letterheads.
• Marketing materials: Flyers, brochures, email templates.

Example:
Nicky Laatz, a graphic designer, sells a variety of design assets, including fonts and templates, on Creative Market. She makes over 120 pretty digital templates to date and she is Creative Market’s first shop owner to reach $1 million in earnings.

Why it sells well:
Creating designs is not hard, now that we have easy-to-use tools like Canva. But coming up with consistent professional-looking, engaging and usable designs can take hours or even days. Not everyone enjoys doing such tasks, and many people are not design-savvy enough to create such designs.

Yet, they need them on an ongoing basis to help add to their marketing assets. If you enjoy creating such templates and have an eye for design, they can buy them from your collection without spending more to hire a designer or do these themselves.

5. Printable Planners

Best for: Graphic designers, organized entrepreneurs, teachers and educators, freelancers and side hustlers, wellness coaches or influencers and event planners.

Top categories:

• Personal Organization: Daily, weekly, or monthly planners to manage tasks and appointments.
• Goal-Setting Planners: Pages for tracking progress on fitness, financial, or career goals.

• Wellness and Self-Care: Meal planners, workout trackers, or gratitude journals.

Example:
Jenna Kutcher, a well-known digital entrepreneur, capitalized on the trend of printable planners by creating and selling the Goal Digger Printable Planner on her website. This planner includes daily and weekly layouts, goal-setting prompts, and productivity hacks tailored for creatives and entrepreneurs.

While exact revenue numbers aren’t publicly disclosed, Jenna’s robust following and targeted marketing strategies (via her blog and podcast, The Goal Digger) have turned her planner into a bestseller within her niche. She markets the planner as an affordable alternative to bulky physical planners, promoting it through email marketing and Instagram.

Why it sells well:
Many people are busy and don’t wish to spend hours creating their own planners. Buying them off-the-shelf to use them right away is a better option for them.

6. Stock Photos & Videos

Best for: Photographers and videographers.

Stock content involves licensing your photos and videos to be used in various media, such as websites, advertisements, and publications. Contributors earn royalties each time their content is downloaded.

Top categories:

• Lifestyle: Everyday activities, family moments.
• Business: Office environments, teamwork, technology.
• Nature: Landscapes, wildlife, environmental themes.
• Food: Culinary dishes, dining settings.

Example:
A prominent example of success in stock photography is Yuri Arcurs, a Danish photographer renowned as one of the world’s top-selling stock photographers. Born Jacob Yuri Wackerhausen, he founded PeopleImages.com, a platform offering a vast collection of high-quality stock images.

By 2012, Arcurs was selling approximately 450 images per hour, highlighting the significant demand for his work. His success is attributed to a strategic approach to stock photography, focusing on high-demand subjects and maintaining exceptional quality standards.

Why it sells well:
With the growing need for visual content across digital platforms, businesses and creators are in constant search of high-quality, relevant images and videos. Stock platforms provide a convenient solution, and contributors benefit from passive income as their content is repeatedly licensed.

7. Presets and Filters

Best for: Photographers and social media influencers.

Presets are pre-configured settings that adjust photos’ appearance in editing software like Adobe Lightroom. Filters are overlays that modify images’ looks, commonly used in apps like Instagram. Both help users achieve specific aesthetics effortlessly.

Top categories:

• Black & White: Classic monochrome effects.
• Travel photography: Enhancing landscapes and cityscapes.
• Portraits: Smoothing skin tones, adjusting lighting.
• Lifestyle: Creating cohesive looks for social media feeds.

One example of success in selling Lightroom presets is India Earl, a professional photographer specializing in intimate weddings and elopements. She offers a collection of custom Lightroom presets through her business, India Earl Presets.

These presets are designed to help photographers achieve consistent and aesthetically pleasing edits, aligning with the warm and natural tones characteristic of her work.

While specific earnings are not publicly disclosed, the popularity of her presets among the photography community suggests a significant revenue stream.

India leverages her strong social media presence and portfolio to market her presets, demonstrating their effectiveness through before-and-after comparisons and client testimonials.

Why it sells well:
As social media presence becomes increasingly important, individuals and businesses seek ways to enhance their visual content. Presets and filters offer an easy solution to achieve professional-quality images, appealing to those looking to maintain consistent and highly engaging visuals.

8. Audio Tracks

Best for: Musicians, sound designers, podcasters, and meditation coaches.

Audio tracks are in high demand across industries. Whether it’s royalty-free background music, sound effects, or guided meditations, these tracks cater to content creators, businesses, and even relaxation apps.

Top Categories:

• Meditation Tracks: Guided meditations, ambient music, binaural beats.

Chris Collins, a musician and founder of indiemusicbox.com, earns a living by selling royalty-free music and custom tracks for creators.

Chris offers a range of genres, including ambient and cinematic music, with licensing options for different budgets.

His tracks cater to clients like YouTubers and small business owners, and his passive income model allows him to focus on creating new music while maintaining steady sales.

Why It Sells Well:
The explosion of video content and podcasts has driven a massive need for quality audio, and creators often prefer affordable, license-free options over costly custom compositions.

9. Spreadsheets

Best for: Data enthusiasts, financial planners, and productivity experts.

Spreadsheets are a hidden goldmine of value. They are widely used across industries for organizing, calculating, and automating tasks. Creators who develop user-friendly and niche-specific spreadsheets can tap into a lucrative market.

Top Categories:

• Finance Trackers: Personal budgeting, expense tracking, and investment portfolios.
• Business Tools: ROI calculators, inventory management templates, and project trackers.
• Habit and Goal Trackers: Fitness logs, reading trackers, and habit-building templates.
• Educational Templates: Gradebooks, classroom organizers, and study planners.

Example:
Pat Walls, founder of Starter Story, created a Google Sheet template for bootstrapped businesses to manage finances.

After launching on Gumroad, it became a bestseller, earning over $20,000 in its first year. His success inspired him to create more niche spreadsheets tailored to startups.

Why It Sells Well:
Spreadsheets are practical, and users love pre-built solutions that save time and effort. They appeal to businesses and individuals looking for functional, plug-and-play tools.

10. Web Design Kits

Best for: Web designers, developers, and creative professionals.

Web design kits consist of pre-made assets like templates, UI kits, and components that speed up the process of creating websites. These kits help designers focus on customization rather than building from scratch.

Top Categories:

• WordPress Themes: Templates for blogs, portfolios, and e-commerce sites.

• E-commerce Kits: Product pages, checkout flows, and inventory displays.

Top sellers on ThemeForest earn upwards of $50,000/month by offering high-quality, customizable templates for WordPress and other platforms.

Why It Sells Well:
Businesses need attractive, functional websites but often lack the time or expertise to create them from scratch. Web design kits provide affordable, professional-looking solutions that save time and money.

11. Podcasts with Paid Content

Best for: Storytellers, educators, and niche experts.

Podcasts are a powerful way to connect with an audience through storytelling, education, or entertainment. While free episodes can attract a broad audience, paid content provides an exclusive tier for loyal fans willing to support or invest in deeper insights.

Top Categories:

• Business and Entrepreneurship: Behind-the-scenes tips, exclusive strategies.
• Health and Wellness: Guided meditations, fitness programs, or mental health advice.
• Entertainment: Bonus episodes, Q&A with creators, or fan-centric content.

Example:
Sam Harris, a philosopher and neuroscientist, hosts the podcast Making Sense. He offers free episodes but provides subscribers access to the full archive, bonus content, and Q&A sessions.

Through his subscription model, he generates significant revenue (reportedly six figures monthly), which funds his work and allows him to remain ad-free.

Why It Sells Well:
Podcast listeners are often highly engaged and willing to pay for premium content that offers additional value. Paid models like Patreon, Substack, or dedicated membership platforms allow creators to monetize while maintaining creative control.

12. Online Workshops

Best for: Educators, creatives, and hands-on experts.

Online workshops are live or recorded sessions that teach participants a specific skill or concept. They’re interactive and often more affordable than full-length courses, making them appealing to both creators and learners.

13. NFT Art

Best for: Digital artists, graphic designers, and tech-savvy creators.

• Digital Art: Unique or limited-edition illustrations and animations.
• Collectibles: Avatars, trading cards, or pixel art.
• Generative Art: Algorithmically created pieces, often sold in collections.

Example:
Beeple (Mike Winkelmann) became one of the most famous NFT artists after selling his digital artwork, Everydays: The First 5000 Days, for $69 million at a Christie’s auction.

While Beeple’s success is extraordinary, many smaller artists also earn significant revenue by minting and selling NFTs on platforms like OpenSea, Foundation, or Rarible.

Why It Sells Well:
NFT art is popular for its novelty, investment potential, and the prestige of owning rare digital works. While the market is competitive, artists who innovate and build strong communities can find success.
