Blogging is not dead or dying. In fact, the world of blogging is more saturated now than it was a decade ago but that doesn’t mean you can’t create a successful blogging business! Building a profitable blog does require intentional effort and initial investment, but don't let that dissuade you from starting one. Digital products are a great way to monetize the audience you have built up through blogging. Remember that the digital product must hold more value than what you’re already sharing for free—so make sure it's good!
My Favorite Digital Product Ideas For Bloggers
1. Membership site: Set up a site with exclusive content that customers can access through a monthly or yearly subscription. Membership sites are a great for bloggers to earn a recurring income from their content by charging users directly for access.
2. Podcasts: Interview influential people in your field and share insider tips and ideas or simply share your ideas in podcast form. Or you also create podcast subscription to expound upon your faith or common interest.
3. Paid newsletters: Set up a paid newsletter that goes deep into the topics your blog (or podcast subscriptions) discusses. Use your blog to drive signups and traffic.
4. Affiliate Links or Codes: Bloggers can join what are known as affiliate networks. Affiliate networks allow you to generate unique links to products that you talk about on your blog to help you earn a commission when someone makes a purchase. Amazon Associates and LTK are two common examples. Affiliate codes work similarly to links in that you earn a small commission when someone makes a purchase. Brands may give you a unique code for your readers to enter at checkout when they shop online, and you can promote this code throughout your content to drive sales.
Other Digital Products Ideas To Build And Sell

Software: Widgets, apps, themes, and plugins make great digital products
Graphics and digital art: Put your design skills to use by creating and selling your art. AI art is a guarantted best seller.
Online courses and communities: Creating an online course is easier than ever and a great way to share your expertise. Communities can also help build authority in your field.
Templates: This could be as complex as a WordPress website template or as simple as a to-do list. If you can create a template that saves people time or fills a gap in technical ability, you can sell it
