Digital product ideas for social media marketers

Small business owners already ask you what to post, when to post it and why nobody is buying. These turn the answers you give in comments and DMs into products, from a free hook list to a coached content cohort.

Make these four, in this order

The free one brings people in. The next three are what they buy as they come to trust you: a small first purchase, your main product, then your time or a membership.

How to pick your first one

Questions

What digital product should a social media manager sell first?
Sell the thing clients already ask you for, like a content calendar or a set of carousel templates. Price it between $15 and $30 so people can buy without thinking twice, then watch who buys: they are the likeliest to join a course or cohort later.
Can I sell templates I first made for a client?
Usually not as they are, because most contracts say the client owns work they paid for. Build fresh versions from scratch, leave out client branding and results, and check your contracts before reusing anything.
What is a digital product?
Something people pay for and get online, with nothing to post: a guide, template or spreadsheet they download, a course they watch, a live workshop or coaching call, or a membership they pay for each month.
Which digital products sell best?
The ones that solve one clear problem for people who already follow you. Small downloads are the easiest to make and sell first; courses, coaching and memberships earn more from each buyer once people trust you.
How much should I charge?
The prices here are typical starting ranges. Look at what similar products in your niche cost, start in the range, and raise the price as reviews come in. Charge more for live time and for products that save buyers money or time.
Do I need a big audience to sell a digital product?
No. A few hundred people who trust you can buy a $20 download or fill a small group. Start with a free download to grow an email list, then sell to the people on it.
Can I use these ideas?
Yes, all of them, free. Change the names, the contents and the prices to fit what you know and who you help. Copy the list, print it or save it as a PDF.
Can I sell these on Knola?
Free downloads that grow your email list, downloads, bundles, courses, challenges and memberships can all be made and sold on Knola today, and it’s free to start. Live workshops and coaching run on Knola Live, which is opening to schools now.
