Choosing the Platform You'll Use to Create Your Digital Product

In this step, you need to consider whether or not you can invest money.

For example, let's say you want to create templates in Canva to sell; the best option (and I'm being completely honest) is to pay for Canva Pro.

You'll have all the available options to create anything you can imagine, you'll be able to work comfortably, and all of this will be reflected in the final product.

You can also opt for a platform where you don't need to pay, for example, Google Sheets.

I usually create templates there to sell, and also in Microsoft Excel; I don't have to pay, so I save myself all that hassle.

Mastering or Using Support Tools

It's often said that you can use AI to create digital products, but you must keep in mind that the product you create must actually work.

I've noticed on Instagram Threads that many people promote the idea of ​​creating products with AI to make everything faster, and at the same time, you see a considerable number of products that are completely nonsensical.

I've used AI for some complex things, so I can tell you that if you're only using AI to make things incredibly fast, you're on the wrong track.

AI is a wonderful support tool. You can learn countless valuable things for free, and also reduce the time it takes to create a product.

So, it's a tool that you must use wisely. A product isn't created just for the sake of creating it; it must be tested, whether by you, a friend, or a group of friends, to verify that it works, regardless of the product.

Creating the Product

I take my time creating a product. I don't know how long it takes other creators, but I can make a template in a week or 3 days, depending on its complexity.

Which is something to keep in mind.

Creating Mockups

What are mockups?

Here's the definition of mockups generated by Google's AI when you search for it online.

In other words, they are those images we see that allow us to visualize the final product, for example, a finance template using a phone or computer.

I need to make some improvements; I plan to start working on it soon, but so far these mockups have generated sales.

• What software did I use to create them?

I currently use Canva; today I just purchased Canva Pro to improve some designs and create others I have in mind.

It's a tool that anyone can use; it's intuitive and fast, so I recommend it.

Choosing a Site to Host and Sell Your Digital Product

There are several options, but I'll focus on those available to Venezuelans because I live here, these are the ones I use, and I have no experience with the others.

There are several platforms; the choice will depend on you, your needs, and your target audience.

My personal recommendation is to try them all. It sounds extreme, I know, but it helps you figure out which one you'll feel most comfortable working with on future projects, as well as which one offers the most advantages.

So, which platforms can you host your digital product on?

Your Own Website

To have a website, you need to invest money; you have to pay for hosting, a domain, and also a programmer. In my case, my programmer is Araibeth Mujica, so I'm sharing her LinkedIn profile in case you need one.

For now, I haven't paid for any extra plugins, but I might need them later. Payments can be made through PayPal on my website, and I can also assist you via WhatsApp.

You can also buy plugins that allow you to receive payments in cryptocurrency, as well as in bolivars.

Not to mention that this is the option I like best because the possibilities are endless. You can do anything you want, create anything you want with a website.

What I like most about it is that, with a website, you have control over your products; they're yours, the website is yours, and you don't have to worry about it disappearing, leaving you without hosting options.

Guaybo.com

I call it the "Hotmart" of Venezuelans because it has so many great features for us.

You can host your digital products, offer an affiliate program so others can sell your products and earn a commission, receive payments in bolivars, and more.

Gumroad

It's widely used online, especially by English speakers. You can receive payments via PayPal, host your products, and access Gumroad Discover, a platform where Gumroad gives more exposure to the products of creators who meet its requirements.

Ko-Fi

This was the first platform I used to generate my first sales of digital products.

You can receive payments via PayPal, upload your digital products, and receive tips as a content creator.

As you can see, I've given you a preview.

If you'd like to see how the products look on each platform, you can view my products after each description to get an idea of ​​which one to choose.

That's all for today; I hope you find this information very useful.

If you'd like me to discuss a specific point, let me know in the comments; I'd be happy to write about it. :)
