So you want to make money online—but you’re not sure where to start?

The good news? You don’t need to be an expert, have a huge audience, or spend months building something perfect. You just need a solution people are already looking for… and a digital product that delivers it.

I’m Dani, the founder of The It Girl Hustle, and in this blog I’m sharing five simple, beginner-friendly digital products you can create (and sell!) today—even if you’re just getting started.

Oh, and by the way… I learned everything I needed to start building my digital product business through Digital Wealth Academy—an insanely valuable course that teaches women how to create, market, and sell digital products the right way.

Let’s dive into the five product types that helped me go from stuck in my 9–5 to building my digital empire on my terms.

1. Lead Magnets with a Purpose

Freebies are not just cute—they’re strategic. A lead magnet is a free resource (like a checklist, mini guide, workbook, or a content library) that solves a small, specific problem and helps grow your email list at the same time.

Why it works: You offer value for free, build trust, and then sell your paid products on the backend.

Tools needed: Canva, Google Docs, Funnels of Course, ConvertKit or Flodesk to collect emails

2. Ebooks & Mini-Guides

Have knowledge, tips, or a story to share? Package it into a short PDF guide or ebook. This is great for coaches, creators, service providers—or anyone with a skill to teach.

Why it works: It positions you as the expert and becomes a passive product you can sell on repeat.
Beginner idea: “How I Made My First $1K with Digital Products” or “A Busy Mom’s Guide to Starting a Side Hustle”
Tools needed: Canva, Google Docs, Etsy, Stan Store, Gumroad or Funnels of Course to sell

In DWA, you'll learn how to not only create an ebook but how to actually sell it with the right strategy.

3. Social Media Templates

If you're good at design or even just organizing content, you can make plug-and-play templates others can use. Think IG post templates, carousels, Pinterest pins, or caption guides.

Why it works: Content creators and business owners want to save time—and your templates help them show up consistently without the burnout.
Beginner idea: “20 Reels Templates for Product-Based Businesses” or “Done-for-You IG Story Packs”
Tools needed: Canva, Etsy, Stan Store or Funnels of Course to sell

4. Mini Courses or Trainings

You don’t need a full 10-module course to teach someone something valuable. Create a 30-minute training, a screen-share tutorial, or a 3-day email course that helps your audience get a win.

Why it works: People love fast transformation, especially when it solves one specific problem.
Beginner idea: “Create Your First Lead Magnet in One Hour” or “Instagram Bio Audit Mini Course”
Tools needed: Canva or Google Slides
Sites to create and sell your course: Funnels of Course, Skool, Loom, Gumroad, ThriveCart or SamCart

I invest in myself and my business by purchasing courses to help with business development, branding, and sales. I offer 3 courses that all have a very high affiliate compensation percentage. Check them out and let me know if you have any questions about them!

👉 DWA - Digital Wealth Academy - My overall main course that teaches everything you need to know to become an online business owner.

👉 CFW - Create Faceless Wealth - This course is for you, if you'd like to know how to run a digital business faceless.

👉 QPC - Quote Page Collective - This course teaches you how to create and monetize a Theme Quote Page on Instagram, and Threads.

5. Planners, Journals & Printable Worksheets

Still one of the easiest ways to start—create pretty and functional PDFs people can print at home or use digitally. Think habit trackers, daily planners, business organizers, or budget sheets.

Why it works: Printables are super versatile, inexpensive to make, and easy to market on platforms like Etsy or Pinterest.
Beginner idea: “Weekly CEO Planner for Mompreneurs” or “Vision Board Toolkit”
Tools needed: Canva, Google Drive, Etsy, Stan Store or Funnels of Course to sell. You can even look into selling Planners and Journals on Amazon.

Ready to Sell Your First Digital Product?

The truth is, you don’t need 6 months of planning, a business degree, or even a big following to get started.

You need a strategy, some confidence, and a little push in the right direction.

That’s why I recommend Digital Wealth Academy to every woman who’s ready to stop overthinking and start building.

It helped me go from overwhelmed and unsure… to launching my first products, growing my audience, and making real sales online.
