Creating digital products can be a game changer for your business. If you’re just starting or feeling overwhelmed with options, don’t worry. I’m here to share a strategy that helped me generate $8 million in digital product sales. Let’s dive into how you can leverage this approach to find success in your digital endeavors.

A Quick Introduction

Hi, I’m Molly. My journey began as a college dropout with only eighty-one cents to my name. I built a successful photography studio that generated multiple six figures annually. Later, I ventured into creating digital products and courses tailored for photographers, ramping it up to $2 million a year. Now, I focus on helping content creators and business owners build their digital products for passive income.

The Noise of Digital Products

The digital product landscape can be overwhelming. You might hear advice like “Create an ebook,” “Launch a course,” or “Design printables.” It’s no wonder many feel confused about where to start. I relate; when I started in 2014, I was in the same boat. I had little guidance and ended up creating over 100 different digital products, ranging from ebooks to courses.

The Pitfall of Quantity Over Quality

While having a variety of products sounds impressive, it can lead to stagnation. I realized I was stuck at a certain revenue level while spreading myself too thin across numerous offerings. The misconception that more products equate to more sales held me back. Here’s the truth: If you want to excel with digital products, you must focus on a two-part strategy.

The Two-Part Strategy for Success

This strategy is straightforward yet powerful. It consists of two main components:

1. Focus on One to Two Digital Products: Choose a maximum of two products to concentrate on—this could be a course and a membership, or an ebook and a course. The key is to limit your focus.
2. Improve Your Products Continuously: Instead of creating new items, invest your time in enhancing your existing ones. Regular updates and improvements can lead to satisfied customers and increased sales.

The Importance of Product Improvement

When I was busy creating new products, I neglected the ones I already had. By enhancing my existing offerings, I was able to attract more customers. Think of how you feel when a program you’ve purchased gets updated. You appreciate the effort, and it builds trust in the instructor. This leads to better testimonials and word-of-mouth referrals.

A Three-Part Framework for Improvement

To effectively improve your digital products, I recommend a three-part framework:

• Teach It: Start by teaching your course or product to your first group of students.
• Get Feedback: After teaching, gather feedback from your students to understand what worked and what didn’t.
• Improve: Use the feedback to make necessary improvements, ensuring your product evolves and remains valuable.

The Benefits of a Focused Approach

This focused strategy not only boosts your business but also benefits your mental health. By concentrating on just one or two products, you reduce stress and create more free time for yourself. It allows you to achieve that elusive passive income we all desire.

Automating Your Process

As you refine your products, you can automate the sales process. Eventually, you’ll find yourself in a position where your membership and courses sell on autopilot, allowing you to dedicate your creative energy to producing free, valuable content. This content helps grow your audience and, in turn, your sales.

Building Your Reputation

Focusing on one or two digital products helps you become known for something specific. Instead of being the person with a million different offerings, you become the go-to expert in your niche. For me, that’s digital products and courses. This clarity not only enhances your business but also makes content creation easier. You can develop content pillars that lead your audience towards your products.

Finding the Right Digital Product for You

Now that you know the two-part strategy that has brought in millions, you might wonder what type of digital product is right for you. The next step is to determine your strengths and interests. This will guide you in creating a product that aligns with your passion and expertise.
