Build Your First Digital Product This Week (Yes, It’s Possible)

If you’ve been stuck in “learn everything before I start” mode — it’s time to break free.

There’s never been a better time to create a simple, helpful, digital product that generates income. And guess what? It doesn’t have to take months. In fact, you can create one this week.

Let’s cut through the noise and take real action.

1. Why Quick-Win Digital Products Work for Beginners

Starting with a small, simple product is smart because:

  • They’re fast to create (hours, not months)

  • They solve specific problems (which makes them easier to sell)

  • They don’t require ongoing coaching or support

  • They build your confidence and momentum

  • They create evergreen income while you sleep

“Speed beats perfection. Say it with me: Speed. Beats. Perfection.”

2. 5 Low-Effort Products You Can Create Now

Here are 5 beginner-friendly digital products you can create this week:

  1. Templates

    • Canva templates for Instagram, lead magnets, checklists

    • Examples: 30-day Instagram post templates, real estate listing templates

  2. Checklists & Cheat Sheets

    • Quick-reference guides, “5-step” plans, digital business launch checklists

  3. Swipe Files

    • Done-for-you captions, emails, and scripts

    • Example: A 5-part launch email sequence

  4. Printable Planners & Journals

    • Habit trackers, daily planners, self-care journals

    • Make them digital-fillable for extra value

  5. Mini Workshops / Pint-Sized Courses

    • 15–30 min trainings with slides and voiceovers

    • Topics: “Canva 101,” “How to Use Trello,” “ChatGPT for Content”

These are high-value, low-time investment products you can sell again and again.

3. Choosing the Right Product for Your Skills

Not sure where to start?

Here’s how to pick the right product:

  • Choose something you're already good at

  • Focus on a very specific problem

  • Think: What’s one thing my audience is struggling with right now?

Example: Instead of “Help with narcissistic abuse,” try “How to deal with the silent treatment from a narcissist.” Super specific = super sellable.

And most importantly? Start simple.

4. Tools That Make Product Creation Easier (Canva, Gamma, Automated)

You don’t need fancy software or tech skills. These tools will help you get your product DONE:

Canva

  • Create templates, journals, planners, and workbooks

  • Tons of ready-made designs — just customize and export

  • You can even list your templates on Canva and earn royalties!

Gamma

  • AI that creates ebooks, slide decks, and presentations from a one-line prompt

  • Export your ebook → edit in Canva

  • Add your branding and personality for a unique product

Automated (Advanced Tool)

  • Create full storybooks, novels, and long-form guides

  • Great for lead magnets or content-heavy products

  • Can also generate Instagram carousels and more!

5. How to Sell Without a Website or Big Audience

Yes, you can start without:

  • A website

  • A following

  • A huge email list

Use simple sales platforms like:

👉 You need just one funnel — a one-page “mini website” for people to buy your product.

6. The Secret to Getting Your Product DONE

Let’s be real — most people never launch because they’re waiting for it to be “perfect.”

But here’s the truth: Perfect doesn’t pay. Published does.

  • You’ll make mistakes (everyone does)

  • You’ll fix them as you go

  • You’ll improve with each product

Your first product just needs to exist. Then you can tweak it.

7. Turning One Product Into Ongoing Passive Income

Once your product is up:

  • Add a call-to-action inside (invite to your group, paid membership, or second offer)

  • Automate your funnel

  • Drive traffic using:

    • Reels

    • Posts

    • Lives

    • Lead magnets

And boom — you’re building a real business, not just a hobby.

8. Action Steps to Start Today

  1. Pick ONE product from the list above

  2. Open Canva or Gamma to create it

  3. Set up your funnel using Stan.store or Systeme.io

  4. Launch it, even if it’s messy
