What are the best digital products to sell right now?
Updated
Judge an idea on three things
The best digital product to sell is the one that scores on three things at once: demand, meaning people already search for it; effort, meaning you can finish it this month; and shelf life, meaning it is still useful in a year. Most advice covers only demand.
Shelf life is what decides whether you are still earning from it next summer.
Strong on all three
Spreadsheet and Notion systems for a specific job. Contract and admin templates for a specific trade. Study or certification notes for a specific exam.
Dull-sounding, steady sellers. They keep working long after the launch post.
High demand, short shelf life
Anything tied to a platform that changes often, or to a trend. Prompt packs, algorithm guides, tool-specific hacks.
These can sell very well for a few months. Plan to update them or retire them.
The one that beats all of them
The product only you can make, because of a job you did or a problem you solved.
It is harder to copy, easier to write, and you will not get bored of supporting it.
