Hello Gorgeous,

Have you thought about earning extra money from home but felt overwhelmed by tech or unsure where to start? Let me simplify it for you! Selling digital products online is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways for women over 50 to create income at their own pace.

Follow this easy, step-by-step guide to confidently launch your first digital product—no tech experience required!

Step 1: Choose Your Digital Product Idea

Pick something simple you already know or enjoy:

  • Ebook sharing your life experience or tips you’ve learned.
  • Printable checklists, planners, journals, or affirmations.
  • Recipes or healthy meal plans you’ve perfected over the years.

Step 2: Easily Create Your Digital Product

Use beginner-friendly tools:

  • Canva (for beautiful ebooks, checklists, planners, etc.)
  • Google Docs or Microsoft Word (to create simple guides or ebooks)

Just create your content, download it as a PDF, and voilà! Your product is ready.

Step 3: Set Up a Platform to Sell Your Digital Product

Choose a beginner-friendly platform to host and sell your product:

  • Gumroad (super easy setup; no monthly fees)
  • ConvertKit Commerce (great for beginners; integrates email marketing easily)
  • Etsy (perfect if your products are printable or creative)

Step 4: Price Your Product Right

Keep your first products affordable to encourage your initial sales:

  • Ebooks: $7–$27
  • Printables: $3–$15
  • Mini-courses or bundles: $19–$47

Step 5: Set Up Your Simple Sales Page

Each platform above provides easy-to-use templates. Here’s what you need:

  • Clear, catchy product title.
  • Short, benefit-driven product description.
  • Attractive product image or mock-up (use Canva!).
  • Easy checkout button.

Step 6: Promote Your Product Effortlessly

Use free platforms you already know:

  • Pinterest: Create simple pins with Canva and link them to your product page.
  • Facebook groups: Share your product genuinely and respectfully in relevant groups.
  • Email list: Let your subscribers know your product is available!

Step 7: Deliver Your Digital Product Automatically

The beauty of digital products is that delivery happens automatically—no shipping needed! Gumroad, Etsy, or ConvertKit deliver your PDF file instantly upon purchase.

Step 8: Keep Building and Improving

After your first sale, ask for feedback, make small improvements, and create more related products. The more products you create, the easier and faster sales become.
