r/DigitalProductSellers

I've started selling digital products 2 or 3 months ago, during the time I watched dozens or even hundreds of videos and read lots of posts and articles online learning how to make a sale, how to make money selling digital products. Lot's of videos on youtube says they make tens or even hundreds of thousands dollars with their products. I know it must not be easy, but I still tried. I have already spent 2 months, dozens or hundreds of hours on digital products, finding the niche, finding the problem, making the product, contacting the potential customers or writing articles/posts. But I still could not make a single sale. i sometimes ask my self on my bed, am I just not belongs to digital products? should i quit. and of course, by no means should I quit. of course I should not quit. But that is two months of hard-working, dozens or even hundreds of hours of hard-working. Is it worth it? maybe i'm a coward, maybe i am just not brave enough, maybe I just don't know how the world is working, how the things are going on. maybe i should leave digital products. but i should keep going, if I want to make money with digital product, i need to keep working. And also, some of the youtubers says they made their first sale after they started several months or even years. And they tell us not to quit, they tell us to keep going. this inspired me, i should keep going. but I also thought about this: what if their is only 10%, or only a small amount of people earned their money? maybe digital product is just a lie, just a scam? so I posted this days before: https://www.reddit.com/r/DigitalProductSellers/comments/1x1i8hl/is_digital_product_a_lie/

and because some of your comments below i knew that it is not. so should i keep going? I think I definitely should.

If you think I'm starting to ramble on and on, I think so too. I am just so frustrated and desperate.

and please comment how long did you guys made your first sale since you started?

I try everything and i faild please give me a advice or a methode actually works

Hi everyone!

I am working on a complete, 48-page educational human body activity book for kids aged 5–8 (includes coloring pages, puzzles, and interactive biology/science activities).

Instead of listing it for $5–$10 as a standard printable PDF for parents (B2C), my plan is to sell 100% EXCLUSIVE commercial rights to ONE single buyer for $200.

Once bought, I will retire the design completely and never sell it to anyone else.

How the buyer gets a double-profit opportunity (Dual Monetization):

Commercial Publishing / Reselling: The buyer gets fully editable raw/source files (Canva/vector/PDF). They can rebrand it, put their name on it, and publish it on platforms like Amazon KDP, Etsy, or print physical copies for ongoing passive royalties.

Direct Educational / Business Use: If the buyer is a private tutor, daycare owner, or homeschool curriculum creator, they can use it directly within their paid programs/workshops to add value to their students while also reselling printable copies to their clients.

In short: They pay $200 once to acquire a complete, ready-to-market digital asset without spending weeks on design or hiring expensive freelancers.

My Questions:

Do you think framing this as a B2B digital asset transfer rather than a simple PDF makes the $200 price point reasonable?

Where is the best place to find buyers who are actively looking for exclusive Private Label Rights (PLR) or done-for-you educational content (e.g., specific subreddits, Facebook groups, or marketplaces)?

Has anyone successfully sold exclusive commercial rights to a single buyer before? Any tips or red flags to watch out for?

Thank you so much for your feedback and insights!

Hi guys, I recently started setting up my shop on Gumroad and have been doing marketing and making products and all of that. I definitely get traffic to the store, but I am struggling to convert it to sales.

I am selling Notion templates and as such have listed them on the Notion Marketplace as well, and the free templates are definitely being downloaded there at around a 50% conversion most days.

Are there any tips on how to get the first few sales to be able to qualify for Gumroad Discover? I have changed my graphics and will be refining them as well, as that helped previously, and I am doing call out features as well on the product pages.

Any help is appreciated!

I will personally check it out, if I like it I will pay

If you see a product idea that genuinely interests you, but you don't buy it, what is usually stopping you?

I'm asking because I've noticed something frustrating: people are often willing to say “I'd be interested in this” or give you an idea for a product, but when you ask what would actually make them buy it—or ask for feedback on how to build it properly—the conversation just dies.

I'm not expecting everyone to buy every product. That's obviously not realistic.

But if someone is interested enough to suggest an idea, wouldn't it be more useful to say what's missing, what you'd expect from the product, what price you'd consider, or why you wouldn't buy it?

For people who actually sell digital products: how do you get useful feedback from potential buyers instead of vague interest?
