I love to create and sell digital products to make passive income mainly because;

1. I create them once
2. They are easy to create
3. I can sell them forever
4. There is no upfront cost
5. I don’t need to worry about the inventory
6. I don’t need to handle the customer support
7. And so on…

The platforms I use to sell digital products include Gumroad, TPT and Creative Fabrica.

With that said, today I will give 3 digital product ideas you can quickly create and sell forever.

#1 — Daily, Weekly or Monthly Planner

The very first digital product you can create this weekend could be a daily, weekly or monthly planner.

The idea is to start with a very simple daily planner, then you can turn it into a weekly or monthly planner later on.

Daily planners are easy to create and you can find a lot of pre-made templates on Canva, which you can customize and download as a PDF file.

Once you have your daily planner ready, you can create a cover and thumbnail image using Canva and upload to Gumroad.

For title and description you can use ChatGPT.

#2 — A To-Do List Template

To-Do list template is one of the easiest digital products you can create and sell online.

Everyone wants to be more productive — but most people don’t want complicated systems. A clean, printable to-do list can be a small but mighty tool people love using daily.

The best part? You can create one in under an hour using free tools like Canva or Google Docs or PowerPoint.YouTube video by author

Make it aesthetic, minimal, or themed (like “To-Do List for Moms” or “Daily Focus Sheet for Entrepreneurs”). Once you design one version, you can create a bundle with variations: daily, weekly, and goal-oriented to-do lists.

Upload it as a PDF on Etsy, Gumroad, or your own website, and you’ve got a digital product that sells forever with no inventory or shipping.

Bonus tip: Add a “habit tracker” section to boost its value.

# 3. Password Tracker

With everything from banking to streaming needing logins, password organizers are surprisingly in demand — especially for people who prefer pen and paper.

Design a printable password tracker where users can write down:

• Website name
• Username/email
• Password
• Notes (like recovery questions or 2FA codes)

Add sections for different categories (social, banking, work accounts) to make it more organized.

This product is perfect for:

• Parents or grandparents who don’t trust password apps
• Small business owners managing multiple accounts
• People who want a simple backup

Pro tip: Use soft colors, clean fonts, and leave space for personalization.

How to Promote Your Digital Products

Creating and uploading digital products on Gumroad or any other platform is the half part of the equation. To make money with your digital products, you need to put them in front of the right people.

Below I will share some helpful ways you can use to get more eyeballs to your products and make sales.

1. Create a YouTube Channel

This is one of the best moves you can do to promote your digital products and generate passive income. Having a YouTube channel opens the doors to a ton of opportunities to make money online.

You can upload tutorials, how to guides, and other helpful videos and start building an audience. Then you can slowly start sending those people to your Gumroad Store or Etsy Shop.

2. Create a Blog on Medium

This yet another great idea to build a an audience online and make passive income. When it comes to creating a blog, Medium is one of the best options. It’s supper easy and the best part? It’s free.

Start writing posts that others find helpful, share your wins, your losses and your experience.

3. Create a Pinterest Business Account

Pinterest is a very good source of traffic for bloggers, website owners and digital creators like me and you!

All you need to do is signup from a free Pinterest business account and start uploading eye-catching pins which link back to your digital products.

It may take you a month or two to see a decent number of clicks. So, be consistent and willing to commit for a bit longer time.

There you have it! Now you have 3 digital products ideas to create and sell online.

Now the thing is, you may not make any money the very first month.

However, if you stay consistent in creating and promoting your digital products you will surely be making a decent passive income online.
