Let’s get started with three of the most basic, yet sought after questions and and answers for creating a quality digital product and making a business out of it.

How to Create a Digital Product of Your Own

First thing first, you are going to need to create a product to sell. The best way to come up with a quality product is to focus on what you already know, have had success with or focusing on something that provides value to people and that they will pay for.
Below is a list of outlets you can build your digital product around if you don’t already have a niche following or site of your own.

• Social networking pages
• Facebook interests (using Facebook Ads)
• Creating a Niche Blog of Your Own
• Advertising through PPC Marketing and Google Adwords
• Ranking well in search results for questions/answers

It’s not so much about what your guide is going to be about and how you are going to make money with it, instead you need to focus your effects on how your potential customer finds value in the product and how well it can sell on a daily basis. There are thousands of advertising outlets for you to play around with and tweak your digital product to sell better with each.
There are many different ways that you can create a digital product, but the easiest and most used is to simply write up a guide in Word, then convert it to a PDF file. There are plenty of free sites that you can upload a Word document to which will then convert it into a PDF file for you.

How to Sell and Market Your Own Digital Product

Performing the Right PPC Marketing Research

So what are people buying and what keywords are people searching to find information they are ready to pay for? In most cases, people are looking to buy digital products and guides when they are looking for information. Some of the best selling digital products in history have been focused on weight loss, dating (examples), self improvement and how to make money. Diving into any of these niches can bring you a lot of success, but you will also find a lot of competition.
Using the Google Keyword Tool you can also do some nice research on what people are searching for in the search engines. Instead of going after a big money niche like “make money online”, try to narrow your focus down to something like “how to make money blogging” or “how to make money with affiliate marketing”. There is less volume in these niches, but your sales pitch will do much better when it is targeted to exactly what people are looking for.
