"Are digital products really passive?"

​
​

This is something I often hear from other creative entrepreneurs, Reader.

​
​

"Aren't digital products a set-and-forget source of income?"

​
​

The short answer: Not quite. 😅 As a web designer who works with shops every day, I have some insider insights for you.

​
​

The much longer (and much more helpful) answer?

​
​

While digital products can indeed offer passive income, they demand strategic and systematic planning.

​
​

Without this, you might find yourself stuck on a never-ending cycle of creation and selling, which is anything but passive.

​

​

*hello hamster wheel feeling...*

​
​

Most people believe digital products are easy money because they've been told that once created, the product sells itself.

​
​

This overlooks a few critical aspects:

​
​

• Underestimating the Importance of Strategy: Without a clear plan, your product might not reach the right audience.
• Ignoring the Customer Journey: Understanding where your product fits in your customer's journey is key to its success.
• Overlooking Continuous Engagement: Ongoing marketing and updates are crucial to keep your product relevant and appealing.

​
​

If you were to follow the 'set-and-forget' approach:

​
​

• Your product might not align with your audience's needs, leading to poor sales.
• You could miss out on valuable feedback and improvement opportunities.
• You'd likely waste time and resources on products that don't contribute to your overall business goals.

​
​

So next time you hear someone saying digital products are purely passive, remember:

​

It's the strategic, well-planned products that truly yield results.​

And because I want you to start implementing ASAP — These are 2 key things I want you to consider:

​
​

​

➡️ Develop a Content Marketing Strategy:

​
​

The how : Look at your calendar and make it a habit to add dates to regularly promote your digital product through various channels such as your blog, social media, email newsletters, and any guest posts or podcasts you are featured in.

​
​

But why?: Consistent (and valuable) content keeps your product in front of your audience! This equals interest and sales. It also helps in SEO, making your product more discoverable over time!

​
​

➡️ Automated Marketing Funnels:

​
​

The how : I promise it sounds harder than what it is! Set up automated email sequences for different stages of the customer journey.

​
​

This can be as simple as:

• create a welcome series for new subscribers
• a nurturing series for potential buyers who clicked on your last newsletter
• or a post-purchase series of emails for those who have already bought your product.

​
​

But why?: Automation ensures that your digital product is consistently promoted to the right people at the right time, with minimal manual effort.

​
​

It nurtures potential leads and encourages repeat purchases, keeping your brand and product relevant and profitable.

​
​

Here's to making 'passive' work for you!
