#3 COURSES
Courses are one of the most lucrative ways to make money online. Countless people prefer e-learning and taking courses online because it gives them the flexibility they need and allows them to study at their own pace. The best part is that you can sell to as many people as you like despite their geographical location.
So, if there is something you are great at or do better than anyone else you know, create an online course. Pick something that will add value to people’s lives and help them meet certain goals.
Teach your students a new skill or share helpful advice on specific issues. For example, if you are an accountant and have great experience with bookkeeping, target freelancers, and startups. Offer financial advice and help them manage their finances. Use your experience and the knowledge you’ve gathered over the years to add value to students’ lives and keep them interested in your course.
If you have great writing skills, create a course that’s centered on helping aspiring writers become professional writers and make their mark in the business.
Some of the most profitable courses to look into are writing, web design, business, entrepreneurship, arts, personal development, graphic design, yoga classes, and music lessons.
The goal is to focus on what you do best and turn it into a course. If you market yourself right, you will get as many students as you want.
Your course can be a downloadable one-off course or a collection of videos.
Use Kajabi, Skillshare, Thinkific, Teachable, CoachZippy or Udemy to create and sell your course.
Pick a platform that gives you the flexibility you want and allows you to meet your goals.
#4 AUDIO
Audios offer an easy and effective way to communicate and connect with your audience. They are the most powerful communication medium that people prefer. Mostly because anyone can listen to them anywhere and at any time. Your listeners can easily pay attention to what you are saying while performing other tasks. For example, cleaning, driving, meditating and exercising.
Decide what type of audio to create and focus on marketing and selling it to your target audience.
Create and sell audios that entertain your audience, motivate them, soothe them, inform them, or help them achieve personal or professional goals.
Other audio products to look into are recorded lectures, audiobooks, music tracks, soothing sounds, relaxing background music, ringtones, beats, instrumental tracks, and podcasts.
If you have music production skills, invest in recording equipment, create audios, and start selling them online.
#5 APPS
Apps are one of the most profitable digital products you can create and sell online. If you do it right, you can easily quit your 9-5 job and earn as much as you want from your app.
Brainstorm brilliant ideas and come up with an app that people find useful. The kind that they will be interested in buying.
Decide what sort of app you want to develop, conduct research, and start the design process.
You can design and develop desktop apps, android apps, iOS apps, web-based apps, or video games.
If you have good coding skills, this is one product you should consider. If you don’t have programming knowledge and aren’t interested in learning to code, hire an app developer, web developer, or software engineer on Guru, Upwork, Fiverr, TopTal, FlexJobs or Hired.
The best way to succeed is to add interesting and useful features to your app. Determine what sort of value you want to add to users’ lives and conduct enough research to ensure success.
Don’t just jump into the design process without specifying what you want. Identify the main features and determine how the app is going to help users first.
You can also design a free app such as a gaming app or informative app to build an audience and get people interested in purchasing your paid app once you launch it.
Sell your app on the App Store or Google Play Store.
