5 Digital Products That Made Me $5,000 a Month

"How Simple, Scalable Creations Turned Into a Full-Time Online Income in 2025"

By Hamid KhanPublished 5 months ago 3 min read

Hello, I hope you all will be in good spirit. Today I am sharing my personal experience I hope you all will get benefit...

.Not long ago, I believed that making a full-time income online required a massive following, expensive ads, or a tech degree. But in reality, what changed my financial life was something far simpler: selling digital products.

In the past year, I built a small portfolio of digital products that now bring in around $5,000 every month — and the best part? Most of the work was done upfront. If you’re looking for a business model with low startup costs, high profit margins, and zero shipping headaches, digital products might be your golden ticket.

Here are the five products that worked for me and could work for you too.

1. Ebooks

I started with ebooks because they’re one of the easiest digital products to create. My first ebook was a beginner’s guide to using AI tools for productivity. It was around 70 pages, packed with practical tips, and written in plain language.

Why it worked:

The topic was trending (AI + productivity is hot in 2025).

I priced it at $19, making it an easy impulse buy.

I promoted it through my blog, LinkedIn, and email list.

Tip for you: Use AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude to draft content faster, then add your personal expertise. Sell on platforms like Gumroad, Amazon KDP, or your own website.

2. Notion Templates

This one surprised me. I created a Notion business planner template to help freelancers manage projects, track income, and set goals. It took me three days to design, but once uploaded, it sold consistently.

Why it worked:

Notion has a growing fan base.

Templates save people time and make them feel more organized.

It’s a one-time creation with no updates needed unless you want to improve it.

Tip for you: Find a niche audience. Instead of just “Notion planner,” try “Notion planner for wedding photographers” or “Notion tracker for crypto investors”.

3. Online Courses

I built a 2-hour video course on AI-powered content creation using a webcam, microphone, and free editing software. I hosted it on Teachable, and it became my highest-earning digital product.

Why it worked:

Video courses have higher perceived value.

People are willing to pay for step-by-step instructions.

I offered bonus templates and resources as part of the package.

Tip for you: You don’t need to be an expert with decades of experience — you just need to be a few steps ahead of your audience and know how to explain things clearly.

4. Canva Templates

Since Canva is a go-to design tool for small businesses, I created Instagram post templates for coaches and entrepreneurs. I bundled 50 editable designs and sold them for $29.

Why it worked:

Small businesses love ready-to-use designs.

Canva makes it easy for buyers to customize without design skills.

Bundling multiple templates increases value perception.

Tip for you: Research trending styles on Pinterest or Instagram, then design templates that match those aesthetics.

5. Stock Photo & Video Packs

I’ve always enjoyed photography, so I started uploading niche photo packs — like “Urban Coffee Shop Aesthetic” — to platforms like Etsy and my own store. I also added short video clips for creators to use in reels and ads.

Why it worked:

Businesses and creators need fresh visuals constantly.

Selling as a bundle increases average order value.

Once uploaded, there’s no ongoing work unless you want to add more packs.

Tip for you: You don’t need a fancy camera — modern smartphones are more than enough for high-quality photos and videos.

The Key to Success

The real secret wasn’t just creating these products — it was marketing them consistently. I used:

Blog posts and SEO

TikTok videos showing the product in action

Email newsletters

Collaborations with micro-influencers

By diversifying my products and marketing channels, I created multiple income streams that now work on autopilot.

Final Thoughts

Digital products aren’t a get-rich-quick scheme, but they’re one of the most scalable and flexible ways to make money online in 2025. You put in the work once, and they can keep selling for months — or even years — with minimal updates.

If you’re ready to start, choose one product idea from this list and launch it within the next 30 days. You don’t need perfection, you just need to start. That’s exactly how I went from $0 to $5,000 a month — and you can too.
