The beauty of digital products: you make them once, they sell forever. No inventory, no shipping, no customer service nightmare. Here are 10 you can build this weekend.

10. Mini-Course / Workshop Recording
Record a 30-60 minute video teaching one specific skill. Screen recordings work fine. People pay for structured learning, not just YouTube videos.

How to Actually Sell Them
- List on 2-3 platforms — do not rely on just one
- Thumbnail matters — spend 30 minutes making it look professional (use Canva)
- Price between $5-29 for your first products. Volume > high price early on
- Collect emails — offer a free sample in exchange for signups
- Iterate — update products based on reviews and feedback
Pick one. Build it this weekend. List it Monday. You will not get rich overnight, but you will have your first digital asset — and that changes everything.
