How To Create Digital Product and Sell it on ClickBank or Digistore24?

19 replies
Hello,

I need an expert advise on how to create my own digital product and sell it via digital platforms such as ClickBank or Digistore24. I am 59 and have only 1 year left before retirement and unfortunately I have no other source of income to rely upon after retirement.

I have fair experience in promoting affiliate offers but commissions earned from these offers are not sufficient to survive.

My key objective is to understand what could be the right product, niche and other complementary products which can be used for upsell.

Thanks in advance for your support and guidance

    I am retired, I was able to retire at the age of 43 because of
    my online business. I was employed by federal govt and that
    was 20 years ago.

    If you don't have enough income to cover living expenses
    once you leave your job, you are going to need another plan
    besides developing something to sell on Clickbank.

    You are on the right track to want to set up digital downloads
    and have a passive income, but you are going to need a plan
    that includes income generating websites, franchise/business
    you can do from home, and some type of service you can sell.

    ALL OF THAT AND MORE.

    If you haven't started using AI, such as ChatGPT, get busy
    with that NOW. It can help you make plans, and provide
    you instructions and guidance for almost everything.

    If I were you, I would not quit my job until I had several
    income streams already set up.

        That is fine. If you must retire in a year, then you need to
        do as much as you can to get ready for it.

        Assess your online skills and make a plan.

        Use ChatGPT and other AI as I mentioned before. It can
        help you with your CB products. But remember that you
        have to do more additional things because everything is
        very competitive now with major sections of the population
        wanting to work from home, work online, etc.

        And post your questions here so somebody can help you.

          I am very familiar with ChatGPT, AI, and SAAS. This has been an integral part of my profession in Banking and Audit. I am very passionate about the digital era and you can say it's my cup of tea.

            That is great.

            If you are familiar with ChatGPT, then you know you
            can use it to help you do all the things you were asking
            about, for Clickbank and just about anything else.

            You could do a combination of affiliate marketing other
            people's products, and also have your own products,
            and I highly recommend that you promote additional
            offers besides just Clickbank, and look into other
            methods of making money.

            If you have access to Amazon, it frequently has
            Kindle books sales where you can purchase books
            for 99¢ and sometimes even free.

            The topics that I suggest you read about are affiliate
            marketing, home business, work from home, passive
            income, and side hustles.

            Some things will work and some won't, and you might
            need to combine different things together, for example
            writing ebooks and putting affiliate links in there.

            The most important thing is that you make a plan and
            start working on it. Don't wait until after you are retired
            to expand your business.

                You are so welcome.

                Have you thought about developing one of those GPT4 apps
                that you could sell right in their store?

                Maybe some kind of banking or finance app.

                Or maybe some type of course.

                Do you have access to Udemy or the other course platforms
                like Skillshare or Teachable?

                Some things that you do should have recurring, residual,
                or continual income and a membership or subscription
                service might be a consideration.

                I'm not trying to overwhelm you, I'm just thinking up ideas.

                Please come back whenever, we are here for you!

                  Yes I think he has a world of skills to offer on Udemy or Skillshare or the other platforms like that . Banking and finance! People have lots they want to learn about that. Think of the little picture not the big - break the books down into a series. Or an Amazon series. Good luck.

    I had no choice, I must retire at the age of 60.

    According to what I've read, it is possible to work to 65 in your country...is that not an option for you? Also, what about a retirement pension for the years you have worked? Supplementing your income with online sales would be easier than trying to create a full time income in one year....especially since you have been working in affiliate products sales with limited success.


    What you need to accept is that what you earn online is a direct result of the choices you make and the work you do online. it doesn't matter if you are 20 and starting out or 60 and retired. It doesn't matter how much you 'need' an income.


    How long have you been working with online affiliate sales? How successful have you been? Why do you think you are not earning enough as an affiliate?
    Will you keep working on the affiliate income as part of your online process?

    Unfortunately, the retirement age is 60 and as per current regulations, I have no pension.

    I have been working as an affiliate for more than 14 years, I was able to make 20% net profit but, this is not sufficient post-retirement.

    I think due to a lack of concentration and competition in the market, I did not make enough income.

    I will continue to work as an affiliate. But I hope to get a good opportunity to know the best product to create and help me to have a decent life.

    maybe think about promoting high ticket offers instead of the low ones, because with less sales you can make more money that way.

    so keep your eyes open to find the right niche for you and best products to promote.

      I LOVE YouTube!

      Of course you have to be careful about what you watch,
      because some videos are just spammy, but others are
      VERY helpful, especially tutorial ones.

      Besides watching YouTubes, it's important that IMrs
      publish videos as part of their marketing strategy.

    Hi Alexo, I'm in a similar situation with my online journey.

    It's all about the traffic, find that before the product.

    I would say that while you have had limited success with affiliate marketing it may be time to find your own fish in a barrel so to speak.

    With affiliate marketing you give away your lead to the product creator and the platform they may be using for distribution... wso, jvzoo deal of the day etc. They take the lead you submitted and email it with their offers so you end up giving that lead away.

    You could do with your very own group of buyers to sell to time and time again, ideally an email list or fb group you control or some other such area where you are the boss/ adjudicator.

    A bit disjointed as i kept getting disturbed but i hope you get the gist

    Hope that helps a little, let me know if i can help in any way with more info.
