Let's be honest. You're not going to get rich just by creating content on YouTube. Sure, creating the content is part of making money but it's not going to bring in a lot, even if you are ad approved. Which is why it's so important for you to diversify your income!

This week, we're digging into digital products and how you can make an additional $1000 per month selling digital products. Ready to make it happen? Let's go!

Okay, before we dig into this, let's address the main concern. It doesn't matter what niche your channel is in. Whether you're using YouTube to drive traffic to your business or you're a vlogger, you have something to offer. And what you have to offer is valuable!

So really, these ideas apply to everyone! Let's dig into those product ideas!

Workbooks.

This is such a fun way to really help people! And that's honestly what workbooks are all about. Helping people get through something. workbooks are an easy and excellent way for you to make a product available.

Take a look at your niche and what exercises you perform around your niche. How can you create a workbook so that others can do the same?

Templates.

No doubt you've seen templates available online! Two of my absolute favorite examples are Jess Jordana and Boss Project! Both businesses offer templates around their niche so that you can essentially plug your information into the platform they use to make it work for your business.

You can create similar experiences by creating templates for programs you use. Maybe you are an avid family budgeter and you use a spreadsheet to keep track. Take time to create a template spreadsheet to share with others.

PDF.

The options are pretty much endless here. You can create checklists or cheat sheets for your customers to print out and use on their own.

Maybe you have a mom vlog, you could create a checklist of your home routines to share with others!

Courses.

Now before you run away, let's be clear. You can make a course about pretty much anything. And you don't have to be a super expert, just a few steps ahead of the people you're trying to serve.

Take some time to think about what you can teach others and research if it's a viable idea. I'll bet it is!

Stock Graphics.

Nowadays, everyone is looking for the perfect Instagram feed. Which means stock photos are hotter than ever! If you're a photographer or even a graphic designer, you could easily offer stock photos or image templates!

So now you have some ideas about your digital product can be. But how to make it happen?

Canva is an amazing program that will allow you to create things like PDFs and workbooks. It's a paid program but well worth it!

Create an Email List.

You've probably heard this time and time again but truly, this is so important! By having an email list in place, you can build that trust with your people and then they'll be more inclined to purchase from you. Once you have that list in place, share with your subscribers your offerings!

Promote.

You have to promote your offerings. Unfortunately, this isn't a case of if you build it, they will come. You have to let people know you have something! So share it! Share on social media, tell your friends and family about it! Email your list!

Speaking of friends and family...
