Hi all
I just wanted to share with you all something I'm working on at the minute which is in very early stages.... but has some mileage I think.
I've been creating my own digital products which I'm selling on eBay. I don't mean digital products like an app (I wish!) but basically I'm creating business templates for people in the same profession as me to use in their jobs (1 and 2 page word documents) to help them for planning purposes.
I'm pricing them low at between £2 to £3 but the only fees I pay are listing fees, no postage. There's also my time involved in creating the product but once I've created one, it has the potential to sell over and over again. Almost passive income, except for the fact that I need to email the template over to the buyer once it's been purchased.
I'm selling around 2 templates per week, not a lot I know, but I'm thinking this could be scaled up into something much more either by increasing the quantity of products or by increasing the quality and therefore charging a higher price.
I've written a post about it on my blog in case you're interested plus some other ideas I've had: http://diseasecalleddebt.com/digital-products-ebay/
Has anyone tried anything similar?
