How do I find buyers for my digital product?

Search the exact words a person would use to describe the problem. The threads, groups and comment sections that come back are where your buyers already gather.

Is cold outreach worth it?

For business products, yes, if each message is specific and shows you understand their situation. Mass templates get ignored and can get you blocked.

Which social platform is best for selling digital products?

Whichever one your buyers already use. Pick the platform they are on, not the one you most enjoy posting on.

How do I avoid looking like a spammer?

Give far more than you ask for, stay for months rather than days, and mention your product once, in the right place, when it is genuinely relevant.

Do I need an email list?

Eventually, yes. A buyer’s email is worth more than the single sale, because your next product sells to that list on the day it launches.

Where do I find buyers for a digital product?

Find the problem, not the audience

Find buyers by searching for the problem, not the audience. Take the exact words someone would use to describe the problem your product solves, search that phrase, and read what comes back. The forums, subreddits, Discord servers and groups on that first page are where your buyers already are.

Do not look for "people interested in productivity". Look for people describing one specific frustration.

The places that reliably work

Subreddits and forums for a specific job or hobby. Discord and Slack communities for a tool or a trade. Facebook groups for local and hobby niches.

Professional associations and course cohorts, if your product is for a job.

Turn up before you sell

Answer questions for a few weeks. Be the person who is helpful about this specific thing.

Then mentioning that you made something is welcome rather than spam. Skipping this step is why most attempts get deleted.

Keep a list

Every buyer’s email is worth more than the sale. The second product sells to that list on day one.

Start collecting emails before you think you need to.
