My 90-Day Experiment Selling Digital Products: Results, Tips, and Lessons Learned

I'm thrilled to share with you the results of my 90-day experiment selling digital products online. In this article, I'll walk you through my journey, including the pros and cons, and share valuable tips and lessons learned along the way.

The Beginning

90 days ago, I started a brand new Etsy shop with zero visits and zero sales. My goal was to sell digital products, and I'm excited to share my results with you. My Etsy Shop

My Results

In my first month, I got 351 visits and sold $182. In my second month, I got 560 visits and sold $283. And in my third month, I got 983 visits and sold $75. My total lifetime stats are 3 months in, with 1,938 visits and $1,165 in revenue. My Results

My Other Shop

Before diving into digital products, I want to give you some context about my other shop. I've been running a sticker shop for the past three years, selling labels for kids. My Sticker Shop

Location, Location, Location

One of the main reasons I wanted to start selling digital products is because of the scalability. With physical products, I'm limited by my production capacity and location. But with digital products, I can reach a global audience without worrying about logistics. Location, Location, Location

Downsides of Digital Products

While digital products offer many advantages, there are also some downsides to consider. One of the biggest challenges is the competition. With so many people selling digital products, it can be difficult to stand out. Additionally, digital products require a lot of upfront work to create, and there's no guarantee of success.

Tips for Beginners

If you're just starting out, I want to share some tips that I wish I knew when I started.

• Focus on products or services that you know best.
• Look for things that you've bought in the last month or so, or things that you're thinking of buying. Why did you buy it? What problem are you hoping it solves? Is there a way that you can solve that problem for others in a better way?
• Take photos that stand out from the competition.
• Get your SEO right.
• Stick to the basics.

Conclusion

In conclusion, selling digital products has been a game-changer for me. While it's not without its challenges, the scalability and flexibility of digital products make them an attractive option for entrepreneurs. I hope you found this article useful, and I wish you all the best on your own entrepreneurial journey. Conclusion
