Ive had this account since 2020 and i haven’t posted on it in years if anyone has an offer just message me please
Been selling digital products for a while now and I’ve documented the whole process as I go.
Woke up to another sale today, which still never gets old.
What’s funny is all my traffic has come from Reddit so far.
All I do is just post useful content that genuinely helps people.
That’s my strategy basically.
I share valuable content, people apply it and the ones who want to get the full idea or are serious about getting results grab my product.
Everything inside it is based on things I’ve tested myself.
I’m starting to experiment with X traffic next, so I’ll probably share updates on how that goes too.
Thought I’d share because people overcomplicate this way too much.
This sub gets the assignment better than most so I'll be direct.
The no-code movement solved half the problem. You can build almost anything now without knowing how to code, which is genuinely incredible and wasn't true five years ago. But there's still a gap that nobody talks about. Even with the best no-code tools you still have to know which tools to pick, how to connect them, how to write copy that converts, how to set up ad accounts, how to source products, how to structure a funnel. The learning curve didn't disappear, it just moved.
Most people in this sub know exactly what I mean. You've spent a weekend deep in Zapier trying to get two things to talk to each other that should just work. You've rebuilt your Webflow site three times because the first two didn't convert. You've watched your Notion dashboard get more elaborate while the actual business stayed the same size.
That's the gap Locus Founder closes.
You describe what you want to build. The AI handles everything else. It sources products directly from AliExpress and Alibaba (or sell YOUR OWN digital services, products, or content), builds a real storefront around them, writes conversion-optimized copy, then autonomously creates and runs ads on Google, Facebook and Instagram. No Zapier. No Webflow. No piecing together eight tools that half work. Just a running business.
If you don't have an idea yet it interviews you and figures out what makes sense for your situation.
We got into YCombinator this year and we're opening 100 free beta spots this week before public launch. Free to use, you keep everything you make.
For the people in this sub specifically, this isn't a replacement for no-code tools for people who love building. It's for everyone who wanted the outcome but never wanted to become a tools expert to get there. Big difference.

Happy to answer anything about how it works under the hood.
My digital product is a client portal template for agencies. I want to reach agency owners but my list is tiny. Need cold email services that can source agency founders, write emails about productizing services, and book demos.
Has anyone used outbound to sell digital products B2B? Most cold email seems focused on SaaS. I need copy that resonates with agency pain.
To be frank I got a advice to make my own digital product of what I use so I 've built a notion template. It's been 16 days. notion template live. 120+ gumroad views. zero stranger sales yet.
not giving up but a bit of curious what changed things for people who've been through this stage
was it a specific platform? a specific type of post? or just time?
Hello!
I want to sell personalised letters and short stories. Some YouTubers recommend Gumroad and Systeme. People on Reddit seem to prefer Payhip? I'm just starting out, I don't have a major social media presence and would rather avoid paying hefty monthly subscription fees.
Which platform would you recommend?
Just got my first ever favourite on one of my digital products. No sale yet, but it’s still a nice little sign that someone actually found the listing and saved it.
Only got 2 listings up so far, so this has motivated me to stop overthinking and keep uploading. Small milestone, but it feels good.
When did you get your first favourite or first sale and how did it make you feel?
I a a med student and I am starting an educational channel teaching medical topics to med students tacross YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. My ultimate goal is to eventually sell courses to med students or have some partnerships .
For personal reasons, I will not show my actual face. My option for having an on-camera presence is wearing a surgical mask and cap (see attached photo). Note: I will be filming in scrubs in a proper home studio, not a car.
Will this medical mask setup look professional enough to build trust and sales conversions when asking people to buy a high-value course? Or should I just do completely faceless screenrecordings?
NOT SURE IF THIS IS ALLOWED, YOU CAN DELETE IF NOT ALLOWED!
Hey all, I go by The Syde Project. I'm a producer looking to help content creators get music for their videos. As someone who has created videos & short films before, I know how difficult & frustrating it can be to find the right music for your visuals. From finding the perfect track to finding royalty-free music, it can be time-consuming. Well, I've decided to try to help out a bit.
As a producer, I have a bunch of tracks just sitting on my hard drive waiting for an opportunity to be used for something. I thought I might as well take some of them & let content creators use them for background music or B-Roll tracks, etc. So, I've recently started uploading some of my tracks to my YouTube channel. I don't have much on there yet, but I'll be uploading more & more as the days go on. My goal is to upload tracks that are completely free for you to use in your YouTube videos, Podcasts, Ads, Films, Wedding videos, corporate video, video games, etc. Any visual media you can think of, you'll be able to use my tracks for them.
There's no catch, there's no selling something (although, I do have a way you can get more premium tracks if you did want that), I just want to have my music out there doing something & why not help someone out at the same time? If it's allowed, I'll post the link to my channel for all that are interested. If you have any questions or want more details or if you're interested in more premium tracks, feel free to comment or DM me & I'll try to answer everyone.

There’s a lot of nonsense going around saying you need paid ads to sell digital products.
That’s true and false.
Ads can definitely scale a good product.
But beginners hear that and immediately start burning money on products nobody even wants yet.
I think that’s backwards.
I’ve sold my digital products multiple times through organic traffic alone.
And from my experience, organic traffic is still one of the best ways to start because it forces you to learn how to sell.
If nobody engages with your content organically, throwing money at ads just helps you fail faster.
Also, people seriously sleep on platforms like Reddit.
You don’t need 50k followers to get traffic anymore.
If you learn how Reddit works instead of spamming links like an idiot, you can pull targeted traffic to your products consistently.
People are just too lazy to learn the platform properly.
Organic traffic is still insanely powerful right now.
The people saying otherwise just want to sell you ads.
There’s a lot of reasons beginners struggle to make sales online.
I know because I made some of these mistakes myself.
Then I changed my strategy.
Now my digital products have sold multiple times.
This is all from my own experience.
The first mistake is selling something you haven’t done yourself.
That’s where people stop taking you seriously.
People buy experience and outcomes.
If you’re teaching something, you should’ve already done the thing yourself.
And show proof of your experience too, it’ll help.
The second mistake you’re probably making is creating a product that doesn’t solve a problem.
Information is everywhere now.
Nobody’s paying for random “knowledge” anymore.
Your product should make something easier, faster, simpler or less painful.
The third mistake you might be making is creating a product that’s isn’t specific enough.
Generic products drown online.
In the sea of failed products.
That’s why the products that stand out are extremely specific and stupid simple to understand.
If a 10 year old can’t immediately understand what your product does, it won’t get far.
Confused people don’t buy shit.
Lastly and probably the most important one, nobody’s seeing your product.
Even a great product gets zero sales without eyes on it.
Meanwhile, garbage products still get sales because they have attention on them.
That’s the harsh reality.
Traffic is important.
A lot.
That’s why I recommend Reddit if you’re starting out.
You don’t need to play the personal brand game or go viral first.
If your product is helpful and you understand how Reddit works, you can get your first few sales faster than you think.
Here’s everything I’ve learned in the Digital Product space in the past few months. This is post a lot of research and my own experiences.
A lot of beginners make the mistake of building huge products priced exorbitantly like, courses selling for $300 even before they’ve sold anything.
A rather smarter approach is to start with a MICRO OFFER.
A micro offer could be a small and simple digital product priced below $40. These could be templates, trackers, e-books, planners etc
They work much better because :
- impulse purchase pricing
- lesser friction
- short conversion cycle
- easier to build trust and
- faster validation
Getting people to buy smaller products is much easier than convincing them to invest a huge amount from a creator they barely even know. And once they take a small offer, they’re far likely to buy bigger offers later.
The key isn’t creating something massive. It’s to solve one specific problem for one specific person at a price that feels easy to say yes to. Done > perfect.
hello! i really need help in looking for customers for my digiprod, its basically a burnout recovery journal and its already in payhip. any advices? thanks!
I’m still at the beginning, but I’ve been studying digital product posts and Reddit traffic for the past few days.
One thing I’m noticing is that the posts that get the most attention usually don’t feel like sales posts.
They usually look more like:
- a personal experiment
- a mistake someone made
- a breakdown of what worked
- a simple lesson from building something
- a specific result with context
The posts that seem to get ignored are usually too vague or too promotional.
Things like:
“Buy my product”
“Check my link”
“DM me”
“I made money fast”
I’m starting to understand that Reddit is not really about pushing a product.
It seems more about showing the process and being useful enough that people want to check what you’re doing.
Since I don’t have a product yet, I’m trying to focus on finding repeated problems first.
Right now I’m looking for problems that could be solved with:
- a template
- a checklist
- a short guide
- a spreadsheet
- a simple resource
My current plan is to collect 20–30 repeated problems before building anything.
For people who already sell digital products, did you build the product first or find the audience/problem first?
Hey everyone. I'm a UX designer by day and a writer by night. For years I've been sitting on these books: a weird mix of comic books and literature (I call it "gamer literature") plus some technical marketing stuff.
Why? Because the distribution options suck. You either get robbed 30% by Amazon or dump a PDF on Gumroad that gives a garbage reading experience.
Truthfully, I needed a complex way to disrupt how this struggling medium (literature) is consumed. I needed a custom reader that could actually handle this format with custom MDX, dynamic components, and a UI that actually felt premium. Normal CMSs choke on this. I ran the numbers on what it would cost to build this stack the traditional way, and it came out to 500+ hours and over $60k (see the screenshot).
Obviously, I didn't have that. So I just vibe coded the whole thing myself using Zo Computer. Took about a month. Built the whole stack from scratch: Bun, Hono, SQLite, and a custom MDX pipeline. It handles auth, Stripe webhooks, and compiles the book at runtime.
The engine is currently parsing over 220,000 characters of "literary code" across my manuscripts.
Now I basically have my own publishing engine. I built it just to launch my own stuff, but looking at the final product, I realize a ton of other creators are probably stuck in the exact same Amazon/Gumroad boss fight.
Question for the builders here: When you build a side project this massive just to solve your own problem, how do you usually transition it from "my personal tool" to something others can use? Did you open-source the infra, or package it up as a service?

We spent years heads-down building HasData, and today's the day we go live on Product Hunt. Before we find out how it goes, wanted to share where we actually landed.
40+ APIs, 20+ no-code scrapers, an MCP server, an AI agent, a CLI, and agent skills. That's the product surface.
Under the hood: Node handles backend logic and parsing (libxml). All outbound traffic runs through a Go-based proxy service we built ourselves. TLS fingerprinting, multiplexing across multiple proxy providers plus our own dedicated pools, connection management. This keeps median response time at ~1.5s.
Everything runs on a self-managed, self-hosted RKE2 cluster. We run synthetic tests several times per day, each API gets hit with at least 10 parameter variations. For Google SERP, a healthy response for `q=coffee` should have 7+ organic results, a knowledge graph, a local pack, related questions, pagination and we validate each block individually. If something breaks, Slack gets it before any customer does.
Today we find out if all that actually matters to people outside our team. Interesting what your launch days looked like.

I am starting an educational channel teaching complex medical topics across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. My ultimate goal is to sell premium courses.
For personal reasons, I will not show my actual face. My only option for having an on-camera presence is wearing a balaclava/ski mask.
Will wearing a mask completely kill my professional credibility and sales conversions when asking people to buy a high-value medical course? Looking for honest advice from anyone who has managed an anonymous brand or sold digital products
I wanted to build a digital solution to something we use every day at work in my department. I put a demo together yesterday, and I was wondering...how do you make money from that? It's obviously company-specific, but I enjoyed doing this little project and decided that it would be something I would enjoy in my spare time. I get that I could essentially sell the partially developed idea, or I can fully develop it with support. What is a good option for someone who has never done this sort of thing?
