You are probably wondering why you should create digital
products? The reason for this is that they can be an excellent
source of passive income to you and your business. First and
foremost, what are digital products?
There are many types of digital products: courses, printables,
high ticket dropshipping, templates or worksheets,
workbooks PDFs, shopify
chrome extension, etc. Anything that falls into the
category of something that someone can download and use,
without you really having to babysit it. So what you're going
to want to do is find out a way to make those things. So first
and foremost, if you're going to make a course for instance,
then figure out how you're going to do that. Is it going to be
face to face on video, just audio or in written form?
You need to determine how you are processing the actual
information inside of the course. Okay, if you're going to go
with more of a printable digital product or a template you
need to figure out what platform you're going to use or what
program that will work best to create the digital product that
you are creating. So let's say you are wanting to sell a
spreadsheet template to online business owners who want to do
their own accounting. That's a good example.
You would want to choose between Google Docs and sharing it,
that way, once someone has purchased or creating an actual
spreadsheet in Excel and then having them download that file.
You would sort of want to decide what your perfect avenue was
to design and give that thing that you're wanting to sell.
Now, if you're wanting to create printables or PDFs or
worksheets or templates or something like that that is just a
standard image or a standard worksheet or a standard PDF. Then
you're going to want to use something like Photoshop or
InDesign or Canva even to create and layout the product, but
always keep in mind that every time you are making a template
of some sort that you need to make it in a file format that
someone can easily open and use.
So let's say I was making a template for a PowerPoint
presentation about
oberlo
alternatives and
how to drive traffic to your Shopify store, but I only
have a Mac and don't own PowerPoint. If I created in the keynote,
then it will make it impossible for someone with PowerPoint or
using Google slides to use my presentation template. So I
would want to make sure I either created it in all platforms
possible or advertised it only as a keynote product or I would
want to make it generic and maybe use something like Google
slides that I know everybody has access to. If you're creating
a template specifically for a program that's totally fine, like
Photoshop illustrator, at least, you know, when you're
advertising that the people who are buying it probably have
those programs or they wouldn't be buying your stuff. Now, if
you're going to create something like a font or a graphic file
or something like that, you are probably going to want to use,
a font software or a tablet that allows you to draw your font
in a font creation app. They have those for the iPad anything
like that will get you an end result of having a file
the type that people can download and use themselves.
Okay. So now how do you sell these things? This is easy. With
courses you can sell these in so many ways: You can sell a
course on your own website, you can even go as easy and as
simple as creating a password protected page and when someone
pays you with a PayPal button, they get the password to the
page. That's not the best way to go about it, because people
can share the password or something could happen, but it's
definitely an option for those of you just starting out or if
you're looking for a super simple solution. There's also
solutions like “Think ethic” or “Teachable” and then, there’s
my personal favorite: Using a plug-in that runs on your
WordPress site, that allows you to host everything there.

Economic Video: European stocks plummet amid concerns over new Covid variant
CNBC's Karen Tso joins 'Squawk Box' to break down the latest market sell off in Europe as investors react to a new coronavirus variant, known as B.1.1.529. For access to live and exclusive video from CNBC subscribe to CNBC PRO: https://cnb.cx/2NGeIvi
European stocks plummeted on Friday amid fears over a new highly mutated variant of Covid-19.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 closed down 3.7%, with travel and leisure stocks cratering 8.8% to lead losses as all sectors and major bourses slid sharply into negative territory. The benchmark saw its biggest percentage decline since June 2020, according to Reuters data.
European investors were already monitoring the acute Covid crisis in the region amid rising infections that prompted a handful of countries to introduce new restrictions.
Italy announced Wednesday evening that it will introduce tighter measures and Germany has narrowly avoided another lockdown, with the incoming government reportedly wanting to wait to see if tighter Covid passport rules help to alleviate rising cases.
But overnight, concerns over a new variant of Covid started to rise, with the U.K. suspending flights from six countries in southern Africa. The new Covid variant has more than 30 mutations to the spike protein, according to South African scientists, and the WHO is holding a special meeting Friday to discuss what it may mean for vaccines and treatments.
Cases have so far been reported in South Africa, Botswana, Israel, Hong Kong and Belgium.
To be sure, the U.N. health agency has said it will take weeks to understand how the variant may impact diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines.
On Wall Street, stocks dropped sharply with the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping 1,000 points, or 2.8%, for its worst day of the year, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes fell 2.3% and 2.2%, respectively.
Friday is a shortened trading day stateside because of the Thanksgiving holiday, with U.S. markets set to close at 1 p.m. ET.
Shares in Asia-Pacific were also hit hard on Friday, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index and Japan’s Nikkei 225 both shedding more than 2.5% to lead losses.

Pharma stocks climb, travel plummets
At the bottom of the Stoxx 600, British-American cruise operator Carnival plunged more than 16% on the back of the variant news, leading a broad decline for travel and leisure stocks that also saw the likes of British Airways parent IAG, Tui, Rolls-Royce and Airbus tumble.
On the opposite end of the benchmark, Swiss online pharmacy Zur Rose Group and Luxembourg-based lab testing company Eurofins Scientific climbed 8.6% and 7.9%, respectively.
