How to Create Digital Products That Sell Monthly
When I first started creating digital products, I thought the hardest part would be making the product. But I quickly realized the real challenge was making sure it sold consistently — month after month.
The good news is, you don’t need a huge audience or a complicated funnel to make this work. You just need the right strategy, the right platform, and a product that solves a real problem.

Step 1: Pick a Problem That Needs Solving
The first step to creating digital products that sell is to identify a specific problem your audience needs solved.
Ask yourself:
- What are they struggling with?
- What’s something they’d pay to solve quickly?
- How can I deliver a clear transformation?
The more specific your product, the easier it will be to sell. Broad topics rarely work because they don’t speak directly to anyone’s needs.
Step 2: Start Small
You don’t need to create a giant course or huge product library to start. My first digital product was a short workshop, and it sold well because it was easy for people to digest and apply.
Focus on creating something that delivers results quickly. You can always expand or bundle products later.
Step 3: Choose the Right Platform
The platform you use can make or break your sales. I tried selling on social media alone, but it was messy and hard to organize.
Now I use Skool because it makes it easy to:
- Host your digital products in a classroom
- Build a community where customers stay engaged
- Offer recurring memberships so customers pay monthly
- Accept payments through built-in Stripe integration

Step 4: Offer a Membership Model
One of the best ways to make consistent income from digital products is to bundle them into a membership.
Instead of selling products one by one, charge a monthly fee for access to all your resources. This creates predictable revenue and gives you space to keep adding value.
Step 5: Keep Adding Value
If you want customers to keep paying monthly, you have to give them a reason. Add new lessons, resources, or live Q&A sessions regularly.
This doesn’t mean you have to create massive amounts of content. Small updates can go a long way when your customers feel supported and engaged.
Step 6: Build a Community Around Your Products
When people feel like they’re part of a community, they stick around longer. That’s why I love using Skool — the community feed keeps customers connected and builds a sense of belonging.
Engaged customers are more likely to stay subscribed and refer others.
Why This Works
When you create products that solve real problems, host them on a platform built for retention, and give your customers a reason to keep coming back, your digital products will sell every single month.
Even 50 members paying $49/month is nearly $2,500 in recurring revenue. You don’t need thousands of customers to build a profitable business.

Stop trying to chase one-off sales and start building a system for recurring income.

Once you see how easy it is to create digital products that sell monthly, you’ll never go back to the old way of launching once and hoping for the best.
When I first started, I made the mistake of creating huge products that took months to finish. By the time I launched, I was exhausted, and the sales didn’t match the effort. That’s when I learned the power of starting small and validating quickly.
Your first digital product doesn’t have to be perfect. It just needs to solve a clear problem for your audience. A short workshop, template, or mini-course can be enough to start generating recurring income when you bundle it into a membership.

Another tip is to price your membership access affordably in the beginning. Starting at $29–$49/month gives people an easy “yes” while you build out more content. You can always raise the price as the value increases.
I also focus on building a community around my products. People are more likely to stay subscribed when they feel connected to others. In my Skool groups, the community feed keeps members engaged even between product updates.
One thing that surprised me was how much small updates matter. You don’t need to release massive new courses every month. Adding a checklist, short video, or live Q&A can be enough to keep members excited about staying in your membership.
The best part of creating digital products this way is the predictable income. Even a small membership with 20 members at $49/month brings in $980 each month. That kind of stability allows you to focus on improving your products instead of constantly hustling for new sales.
Here’s exactly what you can do this week:
- Identify a problem your audience needs solved
- Create a small digital product to solve it
- Sign up for Skool here and set up your membership space
- Invite 5–10 founding members to join at a special price
Once you have those first members, everything gets easier. You’ll get feedback, testimonials, and referrals that help your membership grow naturally.
Another advantage of Skool is that it’s scalable. Whether you have 10 members or 1,000, the platform can handle it. You won’t need to switch tools as your business grows.
Finally, remember that the key to selling digital products monthly is to focus on the customer experience. When your members feel supported, get results, and enjoy being part of your community, they’ll stay subscribed and tell others.
