‘Selling Digital Products’

3 replies

LittleEsme · 15/06/2026 19:09

I made the mistake of showing an interest on Instagram and now my reels are flooded with people saying how they’ve turned their lives around by “selling digital products” and how they’ve chucked in their 9-5 to create from their phones and earning up to £150k a year.

The thing is, they never actually show what they make and I’m wondering are they for real?! What on earth could people make that would get them such a massive income?!

No. They make their money from selling courses about making digital products. It’s the new MLM.

Of course, there IS money to be made from digital products, but most people who make £££ from them are influencers or people with a wide reach. For example, I’ve bought a recipe from a cooking blogger I like, and a budgeting template from someone I follow who talks about money. Both of them clearly make loads from it, but that’s because they already have a solid customer base after years of sharing relevant, helpful information for free in the subjects they are experts in.

I was going to start a similar thread. Who buys these things? I can’t believe they are moneymakers.

I wouldn’t mind knowing what their products are though?!
