Digital Product Myths That Are Keeping You Stuck (and Broke)

We’re in the middle of a digital product revolution.

In the last two years alone, the volume of digital product transactions has grown by nearly 70%. Global spending on digital goods is expected to hit $135 billion this year.

And in 2020? Over 2 billion consumers purchased digital products.

From eBooks to templates, online courses to mini-trainings — the market is booming. And yet, so many brilliant women are still sitting on ideas, delaying their launch, or telling themselves:

“I’m not techy enough.”
“Everything’s already been done.”
“Who would buy from me?”

And honestly, you may be surprised.

You don’t have to be a tech expert to launch something beautiful, valuable, and profitable.

Tools like Canva and ChatGPT have made it easier than ever to create well-designed, info-packed digital products in just a few hours.

If you can write an Instagram caption, you can outline a mini-guide. If you’ve ever helped a friend figure something out, you already have a framework. If you’ve got WiFi and an idea — you’re ready.

No coding. No fancy programs. No design degree required.

This is the biggest lie that keeps women from starting.

Saturation simply means there’s demand. People are buying digital products every single day — and not just from "big names."

They’re buying:

• Journals from trauma-informed coaches

• Notion templates from productivity lovers

• eBooks from moms sharing their routines

• Trainings from spiritual entrepreneurs
  

People aren’t just buying information. They’re buying energy, relatability, and simplicity. And that’s something only you can offer in your own unique way.

There is always room for your story, your voice, your spin.
And regardless of how many other similar products are out there, you are what makes your brand unique, that connection can make all the difference.

Stop.

If you’ve:

• Overcome something

• Built a system or workflow

• Helped someone with a skill

• Gotten results through trial and error

…you have something to teach.

Your experience is valid. Your process is valuable. Your perspective is needed.

You don’t need a six-figure success story to create a product that helps people.
You just need to start with what you know.

And moms? This is especially for you.

You’ve figured out how to potty train your toddler without losing your mind.
You’ve learned how to homeschool with confidence.
You’ve mastered the art of meal planning for a family of five, or how to handle the chaos of raising twins.

That knowledge isn’t just useful — it’s gold to the mama who’s one step behind you, struggling in the same place you once were.

Digital products aren’t just about making money. They’re about making impact.

When you turn your life lessons into guides, checklists, templates, or trainings, you’re not just building income — you’re building bridges for other women to walk across.

Whether you’re a coach, a content creator, a healer, an affiliate marketer, run a brick and mortar or still figuring it out — digital products can support your brand.

They can:

• Add passive income to your business model

• Build trust and authority with your audience

• Serve as a low-ticket intro offer

• Help you clarify your method, message, and mission
  

You don’t need a huge audience to get started. You just need an idea, a willingness to take messy action, and the right support.

You don’t have to figure it out on your own.

I created a free guide that shows you exactly how to create your first eBook in just one day using ChatGPT + Canva. It’s simple, strategic, and designed to help you launch fast — with zero tech stress.
