How To Create Digital Downloads To Sell, Even If You’re Not Tech Savvy
by Sarah Baker
Ever feel like you’re spinning your wheels trying to figure out how to create digital downloads to sell, but just can’t seem to get past “GO,” or collect that $200?
I totally get it — tackling the tech side can feel like climbing a mountain.
But guess what? You don’t need to be a tech whiz 🤓 to get your digital products out there and selling.
If I can do it, you can too, and I’m here to show you how easy it can be!
Understanding how to create digital downloads to sell is the foundation to building a sustainable, automated, and passive-income generating online business. Even more so if you’re a busy mom juggling it ALL.
The digital world is growing at warp speed, and having the ability to create and sell your own products can unlock doors to not only financial freedom, but also the ability to free up your time for your family.
Tech challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to create digital products.
In fact, in my communities online I would say technology is often the #1 reason I hear from women as the issue holding them back from starting their own businesses.
I’ve been there. I know the frustration of trying to figure it all out on your own. When you’re first starting out and trying to wade through all of the options available it can be overwhelming!!
This is one of the primary reasons why I created Profitable Product Academy.
Inside this course, not only do you learn how to create your own irresistible digital products, but you get access to my all-in-one software platform, Side Hustle ProKit, for six months at no additional cost, included with enrollment in the course.
You’ll have done-for-you, easy to customize landing pages, sales funnels, email sequences, and so much more inside your account on Day 1.
With simple to follow, step-by-step video tutorials showing you how to customize your account, you will be able to work at your own pace and at times that work for you to set up your emails, sales pages and other tech assets.
And the best part? If you do need assistance – there is live, 24/7/365 chat support available right inside your account any time you need extra help.
Don’t Piece-Meal Different Software Together
Trying to piece together different software to create digital downloads can be a major headache.
When these tools don’t “talk” to each other smoothly, it creates unnecessary stress and technical issues that slow you down.
Plus, using multiple platforms often ends up being more costly, both in time and money.
Instead of trying to figure out how to create digital downloads to sell by piecemealing together various software platforms, invest in a cohesive solution that simplifies your workflow and saves you money in the long run.
No more tech nightmares trying to make different softwares work together… and crying on the inside when you realize how much they all cost!
Keep Things Simple
With so many options available, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, especially when you’re first starting out.
The best way to avoid this is to keep things simple — focus on creating one solid digital product first.
By doing this, you can streamline your process and build momentum within your business.
You can even create digital products with AI to make the process faster and easier. The key is to avoid overcomplicating things, so you can stay focused and get your product out there quickly.
When using AI to help you create digital products, here are some best practices to consider:
Always remember: it’s important to review and edit any AI-generated content.
Be sure it matches your brand voice, meets your personal quality standards, and fact-check the information provided by your AI tool before publishing and/or listing anything for sale.
If required, disclose that your product was partially created using AI as well.
Automate As Much As Possible
Automation is a game-changer when it comes to digital products.
It allows you to streamline your business, so you’re not stuck manually handling every sale or delivery.
The goal with a digital product business is to make daily sales while you’re going about your daily life, while only needing to have a light touch on your business throughout the day.
Inside Profitable Product Academy once we’ve set up your technology automations and gone over how to make digital downloads, you’ve done 90% of the work up front!
You’ll have access to done-for-you templates, workflows, and tech setups that take the heavy lifting off your shoulders.
This way, you can focus on growing your business while your products practically sell themselves!
This allows you to make sales from anywhere… anytime… while doing anything. And your business can be run from your phone, on the go! 📲
Set Up Email Workflows That You Don’t Have To Touch
Email workflows are HUGE when it comes to keeping your audience engaged and turning them into loyal customers.
Automating a nurture email sequence ensures that every new customer is welcomed to your business instantly and is guided seamlessly through your funnel without you having to lift a finger.
If you plan to offer a “freebie” or lead magnet, or will be creating downloadable content, it is essential to deliver that content to your customers ASAP.
That is where having automations set up becomes especially handy!
In our fast-paced, instant-access, 24/7 culture, it has become the expectation that as soon as a form is submitted the downloadable content will be in someone’s inbox within seconds.
Imagine how hectic your day would be if you were manually sending an email every time someone requested your freebie?! No thank you!
I recommend setting up welcome sequences, product launch sequences, and cart abandonment emails.
(And if these are terms you don’t know yet, don’t panic! I’ve got you covered inside Profitable Product Academy!!)
Inside Profitable Product Academy, you’ll find plug-and-play templates for all these workflows, so you don’t have to stress about what to write or when to send them.
With these tools, creating digital products that sell 24/7/365 becomes a breeze!
