In the world of online entrepreneurship, digital products have emerged as a powerful way to generate income,often with minimal overhead and the potential for passive earnings.
The YouTube video “9 Genius Ways To Make Money With Digital Products FROM DAY 1” by Launch To Wealth TV, hosted by Vanessa, offers a comprehensive, actionable guide for anyone looking to break into this lucrative space, regardless of their audience size or social media presence.
Want to start selling digital products today, even with no audience? I’ve included tools, templates, and real examples from my own business throughout this article so you can take action right away.
Below, we’ll break down the key insights, strategies, and examples from the video, providing a detailed roadmap you can use to start making money with digital products right away.
Why Digital Products?
Vanessa opens by debunking common myths: you don’t need a big social media following, a YouTube channel, or even an Instagram page to succeed with digital products. The video is designed for service providers, coaches, content creators, and beginners alike, promising real strategies—not get-rich-quick schemes.
1. Licensing and Affiliate Partnerships
One of the most effective ways to monetize digital products is by licensing them to other creators or leveraging affiliate partnerships. If you’ve created a course, template, or toolkit but lack an audience, you can partner with influencers or content creators in your niche. For example, a financial planner could offer a revenue split to a finance influencer who promotes their course to a ready-made audience. This approach allows you to tap into established communities and scale your reach without building your own following from scratch.

2. Bundle and Upsell Strategy
Vanessa introduces the bundle and upsell strategy as a “secret” used by both solo creators and large organizations. The process involves:
• Creating a simple, low-ticket digital product (like an 8-page PDF).
• Developing a higher-value offering (such as a masterclass or video course).
• Selling the low-ticket item at an irresistible price point (under $30).
• Upselling the premium product at checkout via your own website.
This method not only increases your average order value but also builds trust with customers who are more likely to purchase again.
🎁 A great example of this in action is my Show Up & Shine – VIP Visibility Kit. It’s a low-cost bundle that leads to higher-value memberships like WomenBizHub Premium. You can absolutely model this exact flow for your own products.
3. Embedding Affiliate Links in Products
Maximize your earnings by embedding affiliate links within your digital products. For example, a style guide PDF could include links to recommended products on Amazon or other retailers, earning you commissions whenever readers make purchases. This strategy allows you to monetize both the sale of the product and the subsequent actions of your customers.
🔗 I use this strategy myself inside my Digital Parenting Toolkits, where I embed affiliate links to products parents love and trust. It’s an easy, passive way to double your income streams.
4. Selling on Marketplaces
For those without a website or audience, selling digital products on established marketplaces is a practical solution. Platforms like Etsy, Gumroad, and others provide built-in traffic and infrastructure, allowing creators to focus on product development rather than marketing and tech setup.
5. Niche Solutions: Jewelry Packaging Templates
Vanessa highlights the jewelry industry as a booming niche, particularly on platforms like TikTok. She suggests creating and selling digital bundles of earring cards or packaging templates. These solve real problems for jewelry business owners who want attractive packaging but lack the time or design skills to create it themselves. This approach demonstrates the power of identifying and solving specific pain points within a niche.
💼 You don’t have to sell jewelry. If you serve service providers or virtual assistants, digital packs like my 450-template collection or VA post bundle fill the same niche gap—and sell every day.
6. Memberships and Digital Vaults
Building a membership site or digital vault is another lucrative strategy. By offering ongoing access to a library of resources, templates, or exclusive content, you can generate recurring revenue and foster a loyal community. This model works well for creators who can consistently deliver fresh value to their audience.
🔐 My WomenBizHub Premium Membership gives creators access to exclusive tools, directories, and token-based visibility rewards (WBC). It’s the perfect example of a thriving digital vault in action.
7. Workshops and Live Trainings
Hosting live workshops or trainings allows you to monetize your expertise in real time. These can be recorded and repackaged as evergreen digital products for future sales. Live events also create a sense of urgency and exclusivity, driving higher engagement and conversion rates.
🎤 I host a free Affiliate Accelerator Challenge where you’ll learn how to use free tools and digital products to generate income, even without a social media following. It’s a real-time training that walks you through implementation.
8. White-Label Content
White-labeling involves creating digital products that other businesses or creators can rebrand and sell as their own. This is particularly popular in industries like coaching, education, and marketing, where professionals need ready-made resources to offer their clients. By selling white-label rights, you open up a new revenue stream and help others grow their businesses.

9. Capitalizing on New Opportunities
Vanessa’s favorite strategy is to identify emerging industries and trends where digital products are in high demand but competition is still low. Early movers in these spaces can capture significant market share and establish themselves as authorities before the niche becomes saturated. She encourages viewers to stay curious, research new markets, and be willing to experiment with unconventional ideas.
