Create Your Own Digital Product
Let’s be real.
Affiliate marketing is awesome—you get to earn commissions without creating anything. But here’s the truth:
The biggest money and the most freedom come when you own the product.
Think about it:
- You set the price
- You keep the lion’s share of revenue
- You recruit affiliates to promote your offer
- You control the customer relationship
Sound impossible? It’s not.
Let me break it down.
🧠 You Already Have What It Takes
Most people think they’re not “expert” enough to create something.
But the truth is:
You don’t need to be a guru. You just need to be a step ahead of the person you’re helping.
- Did you lose 30 pounds with a smoothie plan?
- Learn how to grow an email list from scratch?
- Create content using AI tools that actually works?
That’s your product.
And it doesn’t need to be long or fancy.
It could be:
- A 7-day email challenge
- A video mini-course
- A digital guide or planner
- A bundle of social media templates
- A swipe file, recipe pack, or devotional
You package it, price it, and promote it—or let other affiliates do that for you.
✍️ How We Did It
My own digital product started as a personal breakthrough.
I had hit a wall in life and business—burned out, discouraged, and saying yes to too much. So I created a 31-day devotional for people like me who needed biblical boundaries and the courage to say no.
It’s helped others find healing. It’s helped me fund my mission.
We all have a story, lesson, or system inside us that others need.
What’s yours?
