What are digital products?
If you have been around the
internet for a while, then you’d
realize that one to the most
lucrative
ways of creating an income online
is to sell digital products.
However if this is all new to you,
then you’re probably wondering,
“What is a digital product?” A
digital product can take various
forms, but here are the two most
common:
1. Ebooks ?
Ebooks are packaged information
products that are focussed on a
particular theme.
They focus on a Niche and are sold
by online marketers to teach or
train people on a subject of
interest.
Ebooks are popular because they
contain a lot of information about
the same subject, with the aim
of assisting people to learn quite
quickly.
For instance, you may want to
write a book about Dog Training,
and contain about 30 pages of
information about how to train and
handle dogs. In the manual you may
want to talk specifically
about dog training for the defence
forces, as opposed to training
domestic dogs. In fact, while
compiling your ebook you may want
to
Ebooks are commonly formatted in
PDF format, which allows users of
both PC and Macintosh
machines to read them. Other
ebooks are compiled for PC’s only
using Ebook Compilers. These are
typically costly to purchase, and
limits those who read them to PC
users only. The major benefit of
using an Ebook compiler is
security- you are able to lock
your ebooks with secret codes that
only
the purchaser can use to unlock
with.
2. Software ?
Software is a digital product that
you can create, or have created
for you, that
meets a particular need or demand.
Software can be created for
websites (for instance, using PHP
and MySQL) or for Desktop use.
Software products usually attract
a higher price than ebook
info-products, as they can be more
useful and meet a particular
demand, as opposed to a “one-time”
use of info-products.
If you are eager to create digital
software products and release them
with resell rights, then you
must ensure that the software
works correctly across a multitude
of platforms.
Warning:
If you release ‘buggy’ software,
your reputation will be damaged
very quickly. You
MUST ensure that you are prepared
to provide support for your
software product.
