Selling a digital product is not mainly a production problem. It is a demand problem. You need something a specific audience will pay for, a way to prove that demand before overbuilding, a checkout that fits the business, and at least one audience channel you can reach directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at the questions you answer repeatedly, the workarounds people have built for themselves, the tasks they keep postponing and the problems for which they already pay somebody else. That evidence is more useful than brainstorming fifty product ideas in a blank document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n People are generous in surveys. Money is less polite. A pre-sale, paid workshop, pilot or founding-member offer tells you more than a comments section full of \u201cI would buy this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n You do not need a complicated launch to test demand. Write the promise, define who it is for, state exactly what the buyer gets and put a real price next to it. Offer it to a small relevant group. If nobody buys, that is useful information before you have recorded ten hours of video.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStart with the buyer problem, not the product format<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
