1. PLR Ebooks and Guides
PLR (Private Label Rights) ebooks are ready-made digital books you can edit, rebrand, and sell as your own. Topics range from self-help and health to business and productivity. You don’t need to write them from scratch, customize the content, change the cover, and set your price.
Tip: Add a unique introduction or bonus checklist to make your version stand out and feel more personal.
2. Printables and Planners
Printable products are PDF files that people can print and use repeatedly. Popular options include budget planners, daily schedules, fitness trackers, and meal planners. They’re easy to create using free tools like Canva or Google Docs and sell well on platforms like Etsy and Gumroad.
Tip: Focus on evergreen niches (budgeting, fitness, productivity) so your printables stay in demand year-round.
3. Checklists and Cheat Sheets
Busy people love quick, actionable content. A well-designed checklist (e.g., “How to Start a Side Hustle in 7 Steps”) or cheat sheet (e.g., “Quick SEO Tips for Beginners”) can become a go-to resource for your audience.
Tip: Keep it short, clear, and visually appealing—one page is often enough to make it valuable.
4. Social Media Templates
With brands and creators constantly looking to boost their presence online, social media templates are highly marketable. You can create packs for Instagram posts, Pinterest pins, Facebook ads, or TikTok covers.
Tip: Offer a free sample pack to attract potential buyers, then upsell them with a template bundle.
5. Resume or CV Templates
Job seekers are always looking for modern and professional templates to stand out. You can design resumes, cover letters, and portfolio templates that are easy to edit in Word, Google Docs, or Canva.
Tip: Design templates customized for industries (e.g., creative, corporate, healthcare) to appeal to a wider range of buyers.
6. Audio Affirmations or Guided Scripts
The self-improvement market is growing fast, and audio affirmations or meditation guides are perfect for people looking for positivity and mindfulness tools. You can record them using your phone and edit with free audio tools like Audacity.
Tip: Use a calm, clear voice and a background-free recording space for a professional sound.
7. Digital Stickers for Messaging Apps
Digital stickers are playful and versatile, perfect for messaging apps, planners, or digital journals. You can create packs using free tools like Canva, Procreate (on iPad), or even simple drawing apps.
Tip: Focus on trending themes, seasonal stickers, motivational quotes, or popular aesthetics (like kawaii or minimalist).
8. Recipe Cards and Meal Prep Guides
Food content is always in demand. Create downloadable recipe cards or full meal prep guides for specific diets (keto, plant-based, budget-friendly). You can offer them as single downloads or bundle them into a mini cookbook.
Tip: Include attractive food images and easy-to-follow steps for a professional look.
9. Email Templates
Entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small businesses often need email templates for client communication, sales, or follow-ups. If you have experience writing emails, you can create polished templates and sell them as a package.
Tip: Offer multiple tones, such as formal, casual, and persuasive, in a single bundle to attract a broader range of users.
10. Micro Courses or Tutorials
Don’t have the time to create a full course? A micro-course (e.g., 3–5 short videos or a 10-page guide) is perfect for teaching a specific skill—like “How to Use Canva for Business” or “Quick Guide to Freelancing on Fiverr.”
Tip: Use free screen recording tools (Loom or OBS) and offer lifetime access for added value.
