If you’ve ever daydreamed about making money while sipping coffee in your pajamas (or during nap time), you’re going to love this. Selling digital products is one of the easiest, most low-risk ways to start a business from home—especially for creative moms, side-hustlers, or anyone craving a flexible, freedom-filled income stream.
No inventory, no shipping, no dealing with returns. Just create it once, upload it, and sell it on repeat.
The best part? You don’t need a fancy degree or tons of tech skills to get started. In fact, you can start selling digital products today.
Here are 15 digital products you can create + sell right now (even if you’re short on time or starting from scratch):
1. Printable Wall Art
If you love home decor, fonts, quotes, or design, this is the ultimate low-barrier-to-entry product. Create beautiful art prints, export as a PDF or JPG, and sell them on Etsy or your own site. Think: minimalist quotes, nursery prints, seasonal decor—you name it.
This is an income stream I’ve been doing since 2018 with my Etsy Shop, Southbound Market!
2. Canva Templates
Everyone from business owners to content creators is using Canva. Design templates for social media graphics, business cards, presentations, or ebooks that others can customize with a free Canva account.
Bonus: You don’t need to be a designer—just have a good eye and some creative flair. Said as a designer who creates Canva templates to sell!
3. Notion Templates
Notion is having a major moment. If you’re an organization-loving human, you can create aesthetic, functional Notion planner templates for everything from goal setting to content planning to budgeting. Sell them on Gumroad, Etsy, or your own site.
4. Digital Journals + Planners
Design a guided journal in Canva or Google Docs, turn it into a clickable PDF, and you’ve got a digital journal ready to sell. Think prompts for gratitude, mental health, goal tracking, or creativity.
5. Ebooks or Guides
If you’ve got a skill or story to share—write it down! Whether it’s “How to Meal Plan for a Family of 5” or “Beginner’s Guide to Freelancing,” ebooks and digital guides are a great way to package your expertise and sell it.
6. Lightroom Presets
Photographers and Instagrammers, this one’s for you. Create custom Lightroom presets and sell them to others who want that same polished, cohesive look on their feeds or photos.
7. Social Media Templates
Small business owners are always looking for shortcuts to keep their Instagram and Pinterest feeds looking fresh. Design drag-and-drop templates in Canva and bundle them into themed packs (like “Real Estate Reels” or “Neutral Pinterest Pins”).
8. Business Spreadsheets
If you love numbers and organization, there is serious demand for digital spreadsheets that help entrepreneurs run their businesses. Think: income trackers, content calendars, client onboarding sheets, or budget templates—built in Google Sheets or Excel.
9. Online Courses
Don’t let the word “course” scare you. You don’t need 20 modules and fancy tech to get started. Record a few lessons (even just voice-over slides!) and teach something you know—like how to use Notion, how to create a digital product, or how to start a blog.
10. Digital Stickers
Design cute, digital stickers for use in GoodNotes or other digital planning apps. These are super popular with students, productivity lovers, and journalers. You can create static PNG files or even animated ones if you’re feeling fancy.
11. Website Templates
If you’re a designer or even semi-tech-savvy, you can create website templates using platforms like Showit, Squarespace, or WordPress (Elementor). Bundle the files, create a tutorial, and sell them to business owners who want a beautiful site without starting from scratch.
12. Digital Workbooks
Workbooks are perfect for coaches, educators, or service providers. Create interactive or fillable PDFs for your audience to work through a process—goal setting, planning, journaling, business building—you name it.
13. Colouring Pages
Have a knack for drawing or illustration? Turn your designs into printable coloring pages for kids or adults. These are popular for mindfulness, homeschooling, party favors, and seasonal activities.
14. Stock Photography
If you love photography, sell themed photo bundles (flat lays, lifestyle shots, workspace images, etc.) to other creatives and businesses. Make sure they’re high-quality and consistent in style to stand out.
15. Clipart + Design Elements
If you enjoy creating doodles, illustrations, or graphic elements, you can package and sell them as digital clipart. These are great for crafters, teachers, and other creators who want to use your elements in their own designs or products.
Ready to start?
You don’t need to do all 15. Pick one that plays to your strengths and interests. Give yourself a weekend to create it, and then put it out into the world. Platforms like Etsy, Gumroad, Shopify, Podia, or even your own website make it easy to upload, list, and sell digital products.
