5 Reasons Why You Need to Start Making and Selling Your Digital Planner

Jul 26

Digital planners are becoming more and more popular everyday. Nowadays everyone is searching for convenience, not an extra item to remember bringing with them. This is why digital planners basically sell themselves!

Has there ever been a time in the last few years where you found yourself without your phone or iPad? People are transitioning from paper planners to digital planners at a rapid rate. Now is the time to join the digital product scene and share your great ideas with your audience and rack up some passive income along the way!

I have been through it all when it comes to creating digital products, and I am here to say that it is so worth it.

Continue reading for my top 5 reasons to make and sell a digital planner.

Reason 1: Little to no upfront cost

I started with an old MacBook that froze every time I opened a design program and an idea in my head. You don’t need fancy equipment. All you need is a computer, a design program, and a place to sell your products (I recommend, Etsy).

I’m serious, that's really all you need! If you are thinking about creating a digital planner, don’t let the initial start up phase intimidate you, if I can do it, you can do it!

Reason 2: Share your knowledge

Everyone has a unique planner idea based on skills and the zone of genius. Creating a digital planner that showcases your area of expertise is a great way of establishing yourself as a leader.

Planners don’t have to be generic with monthly/weekly pages. It could be based on need and on a niche.

Here are a few examples of types of digital planners:

Mompreneur planner
Blogger planner
Project planner
Business planner
Busy mom.. etc

If you see a need for a digital planner in your life, there is a really good chance that others see it too and would purchase yours! If you want to know specifically what your audience needs to fix their pain points, do some market research and poll your followers.

Reason 3: Build a business around your lifestyle!

Your business is where your laptop is! You don’t need a big office, a lot of tools, inventory, or 10 devices to start.

All you need is your laptop, design program, an Ipad, and stylus. You can come up with any planner concept you like and design your collection anytime. No waiting for the next quarter or year to launch. Launch products when you want!

Once you create a planner and share it with your audience, the work is done! There is nothing more that you need to do, which means you can work on another digital product or take some time off and travel. You are in the driver's seat of how you want your business to be structured, selling digital products gives you the freedom to live any lifestyle!

Reason 4: Helps you reach more people

Creating digital products allows you to expand your clientele reach. Not everyone will be able to afford your design services or your high ticket offers, but a lot of people will be able to buy a digital planner. This allows you to generate new leads that you otherwise might not have. A digital planner is a great way to keep a lead warm while they are growing their business. It is also a way to build trust with your clients, they will know what it’s like to work with you before ever getting on the phone! Many people who bought my digital products ended up enrolling in my courses and hiring me to create their product lines.

Reason 5: Scalable Passive income

Passive income is my jam and it’s why I started my Etsy shop in the first place. I wanted to build a business that generates money while I take my kids to school and while I travel. Having a digital product business allows me to have this life. It wasn’t easy at all, there were so many tears and breakdowns. But I’ve made it! And you can too with the right systems and strategies in place! Creating a great digital product that solves a problem for your audience opens the door to generating significant passive income. If you have taken the time to complete your market research, the more successful and simple your sales funnel will be.
