You’ve got an idea – maybe it’s an online course, a template pack, an ebook, or a masterclass. You know you want to monetise your expertise. But where do you even start?
Here’s your step-by-step guide to launching your first digital product – even if you have a small audience and zero tech experience.
1. Validate your idea first
Before you build anything, make sure people want it.
Ask yourself:
- What problem does this solve?
- Who is it for – and what are they struggling with?
- Are people already paying for similar solutions?
Tip: Use polls, DMs, or Instagram Stories to gather real feedback.
2. Choose the right product format
Pick a format that plays to your strengths and your audience’s needs:
- Course: great for deep teaching
- Ebook or guide: ideal for structured information
- Templates: perfect for fast results
- Masterclass or webinar: builds authority and urgency
Start simple – you can always upgrade later.
3. Create a clear offer (not just a product)
People don’t buy content – they buy results.
Your offer should:
- Speak directly to a pain point
- Promise a transformation
- Include bonuses or extras that add value
Clear > Clever. Don’t overcomplicate it.
4. Pick the right tools to host & sell
For a smooth launch, you’ll need:
- A platform to host your product (like Gumroad, Kajabi, Stan, or Teachable)
- A way to take payments
- A landing page that clearly explains what’s included and why it matters
Don’t get lost in tech – pick what’s simple and scalable.
5. Plan your launch content
Your audience won’t know about your offer unless you talk about it – a lot.
Build hype before launch with:
- Teasers
- Behind-the-scenes content
- Mini lessons
- Testimonials or previews
During launch week, post daily with urgency and clear CTAs.
6. Price with confidence
Price based on the transformation, not the time it took you to create.
Undervaluing your offer sends the wrong message – especially if you’re building a premium brand.
Use pricing psychology:
- Round numbers for confidence (£49 / £97)
- Tiered options or bonuses
- Early bird or “founding member” discounts to reward fast action
7. Post-launch: review, refine, repeat
After launch, reflect:
- What content got the most engagement?
- Where did buyers come from?
- What objections did people raise?
Use the insights to refine your offer, improve the funnel, and prepare for the next round – or evergreen sales.
