How to pick your first one

Questions

What digital product should a dog trainer sell first?
A short plan for the problem you get asked about most, like pulling on walks or puppy biting. It takes a week to film and write, sells for $19 to $35, and the owners who buy it are the ones most likely to join a course or book a call.
Can I sell training plans for anxious or aggressive dogs?
You can teach owners, but tell them to see a vet first, since pain and illness often sit behind a sudden change in a dog. For bites or serious aggression, say plainly that a home plan is not enough and point them to a qualified professional who can see the dog in person.
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.
