The digital products to sell are the ones that finish a job for a specific person: an ebook that answers a question, a planner that runs a routine, a template that saves an afternoon. Below, each category gets a one-line definition, who buys it and a starting price to test, then the steps to put your first one on sale.

What counts as a digital product?
A digital product is a file a buyer downloads and uses without anything being posted: a PDF, an EPUB, or a pack of files. You make it once and deliver it to every buyer automatically. On Bookstorez you can sell ebooks, guides, printables, planners, workbooks and templates as PDF or EPUB, and ZIP packs on Creator and Pro.
Digital products to sell, by category
| Category | What it is | Who buys it | Starting price to test |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ebooks | A book delivered as PDF or EPUB | Readers who want an answer, a story or a skill | $5 to $15 |
| Guides | A short, practical how-to on one task | People stuck on one specific problem | $5 to $20 |
| Printables | Pages designed to print at home | Parents, teachers, organisers | $3 to $10 |
| Planners | Dated or undated pages for a routine | People running a week, a budget or a goal | $5 to $15 |
| Workbooks | Exercises and space to work through them | Learners and coaching clients | $7 to $20 |
| Templates | Editable files: Canva, Notion, spreadsheets, documents | Small businesses, creators, students | $5 to $25 |
The prices are suggestions for a first test, not what any product will sell for. A higher price is easier to explain when the product does more work for the buyer.
Best digital products to sell if you are starting out
- A short guide on something you already do well. Ten clear pages beat a hundred vague ones.
- A printable for a routine you have already tested, such as a meal plan, chore chart or reading log.
- A workbook that pairs with a skill you teach, so buyers practise as well as read.
- A template you built for your own work and have used more than once.
Easy digital products to sell
The easiest digital products to sell are short, specific and quick to check: a one-page checklist, a single-week planner, a set of worksheets for one topic. They are fast to make and fast for a buyer to understand from a sample page. Bundle them later, once single products have sold.
Ebooks: the category with the most room
Ebooks cover any subject a reader searches for: cooking, money, parenting, puzzles, faith, business. If writing is the slow part, the AI ebook generator built into Bookstorez plans the book with you, writes each chapter, designs the pages and makes the cover. Read how to sell ebooks online for the full route.
Templates: Canva, Notion and more
Templates sell to people who want a result without starting from a blank page. Deliver Canva and Notion templates as a PDF with a link inside. How to sell Canva and Notion templates covers the set-up.
How to choose your first product
- Pick one person and one job: "a busy parent planning a week of dinners", not "anyone who eats".
- Check you can show what is inside with two or three sample pages.
- Make the smallest version that fully does the job, then test it on a phone, a laptop and paper.
- List it, share it where those buyers already are, and improve it from their questions.
