If you’re looking for profitable digital products to sell online, here’s a few ideas to think about. I first noticed the ease and simplicity of selling digital products online after purchasing an ebook on eBay.
It taught me an eBay business model. You can read about it here. However, it was the ebook sale itself which gave me a lightbulb moment! A digital sale means you can automatically take payment and deliver your product using the internet. No dealing with customers, no posting our parcels! I thought it was the perfect business model. And it is!
Profitable Digital Products To Sell Online – Ebooks!
Yes ebooks are profitable. You can create an ebook and sell it online for whatever price people are wiling to pay. They are super easy to create too. All you need is a way to put a written online document in pdf format – and most computers will do this.
There’s various pdf converter software online too if your computer doesn’t do this. You can get an ebook cover done for you for minimal cost using Fiverr.com. I created a couple of ebooks and although I don’t sell them, they are used for building my internet business. Here’s one of them:
Ebooks are brilliant lead magnets too. A lead magnet can allow an online business owner to collect subscribers. They then promote affiliate products through their email lists.
11 Profitable Digital Products To Sell Online – Affiliate Products
Yes there’s thousands of digital affiliate products which will pay you 30% and above on sales you generate. Affiliate marketing is a referral based business model in which the referrers get paid for recommending products online. Here’s some websites which specialise in the selling of digital products:
- Clickbank.com
- JVZoo.com
- Click2Sell.com
There’s thousands of digital products you can promote as an affiliate. Not all affiliate products are the same however and some are more profitable than others. Affiliate marketing is a performance related business model too. This means if you don’t sell any products, you don’t get paid. So learning how to generate sales should be your top priority.

Profitable Digital Products To Sell Online – Courses
Some of the best products to sell online as an affiliate are training courses. A digital ebook might only sell for a few dollars. However, a digital training course can sell for upwards of $300, for example.
This means you can earn a lot more from selling high value courses than low value digital ebooks. High ticket affiliate products carry much larger price tags. A high ticket course might sell for thousands of dollars. If you refer a high ticket course which costs several thousand dollars, you can make commissions upwards of $1000 per sale.
Memberships & Subscriptions
Membership and subscription products keep paying you long after you refer customers. A small monthly revenue from a product referral can therefore mount up. Some of the best products which offer this are business related products and services. When a business uses a product and needs it for their business, they tend to maintain their subscription for life!
Here’s a few examples of membership and software products you can sell as an affiliate:
- Email autoresponders – list building services for online businesses
- Training courses – teaching a skill of some kind
- Software for business – SEO (search engine optimisation) and technical help for growing websites/online business
- Plugins and Themes – website building services
See recurring income affiliate programs for more on this.
Product Ranges
A product range is one of the most profitable digital products you can sell online. Most digital products are stand alone, which means you only get paid once for their sale, apart from subscription products of course, (which pay you a recurring income for each sale). With most digital affiliate products you only make a single commission however. This means you pass the customer to the product owner, who may earn lifetime commissions from that particular customer.
With a product range, you can earn commissions from purchases made at a later date from customers you referred previously. This means you only need to refer a sale once, but you can continue to earn lifetime commissions should your referral purchase anything else from a range of products.
An example of a company which offers a range of products is Apple. They offer phones, MP3 players, computers, laptops, monitors and so on. Apple doesn’t have an affiliate program but if it did it would be worth joining, especially if there were lifetime commissions attached. See SFM digital business system for a digital product range program.
Summary
There’s literally thousands of digital affiliate products you can promote online to earn a percentage of the sale value. The most profitable digital products to choose are those which offer:
- Recurring commissions – see recurring commission affiliate programs
- High ticket commissions – see what is high ticket affiliate marketing
- A product range – See SFM Digital Business System for an affiliate product range
