A method for working from idea towards a first 100 sales on a marketplace such as Etsy, a creator platform such as Gumroad or your own store, with no promise of how many you will make. Choose a niche with evidence, build a product a stranger can use, know your true profit on every sale and launch in 30 small steps.
Sell Digital Products · Bodhih Pro Kits · 30 by Bodhih Training, trainers to 2,000+ companies since 2008.
Pick a specific group of buyers and a job they need done, check that people already search and pay for it, build a product a stranger can use without help, work out your net profit after fees, write a listing with the buyer's own phrases and a clear first image, then launch and measure. The Sell Digital Products kit from Bodhih Training gives you the method and tools.

The product took a weekend, the listing took ten minutes, and the search results turned out to be an ocean. Without research into who is buying and what they type, even good work stays invisible.
Listing fee, transaction fee, payment fee, an advert you didn't notice, tax. By the time the money lands, a low-priced product can lose a large share of its price, and most sellers never do the sum.
No Start here page, no sample data, one paper size, a zip file on a phone. Every missing instruction turns into a support message, a refund request or a poor review.
Font licences, stock images, AI-generated content, VAT on downloads, review policies. You don't need to be a lawyer, but you do need to know which questions to ask and where to check.
Imagine a quiet evening next week. You open the Niche scorecard and type in the three ideas that have been circling your head for months. As you rate each one for demand, open space, fit and willingness to pay, the sheet ranks them, and for the first time the choice is made by evidence and not by mood.
Now picture the weekend after. You've run the one-hour validation routine, and five real people have told you what annoys them about the tools they use today. When you fill in the Product Brief, you already know what goes in the download: the Start here page, the sample data, the A4 and US Letter versions. A friend runs the stranger test while you sit on your hands, and you fix the two places she hesitates.
Then comes the moment most sellers skip. You type today's fees into the Fee and profit sheet and see exactly what you keep from each sale, on a normal day, on a promotion and when an advert brings the buyer. You set your price with the sums in front of you. The Listing Builder holds your title and every tag, and your first image passes the postage-stamp test.
And thirty days after you start, you open the Dashboard and read your own funnel: views, visits, orders. You know which single thing to fix next. Whether you begin with the scorecard tonight or the launch calendar on Monday, you'll be building a shop that learns, one small, sensible step at a time.
The e-book shows you how. The tools make it happen. Here is exactly what you download.
The guide: methods, worked examples, scripts and exercises
Niche scorecard, product roadmap, any-platform fee and profit calculator, pricing ladder and bundle builder, first-100 simulator, listing tracker, monthly P and L, service log and live dashboards.
A two-page brief to complete before you build: buyer, promise, contents, formats, ingredients and the definition of finished.
A script and scoring grid for testing your product with three people who have never seen it, before you list it.
Draft your title, 13 tags, description blocks and image sequence on three fillable pages before you touch the platform.
A two-page fillable checklist from finished product to day 30, so nothing is published half-ready.
Editable description wording for five product types: spreadsheet, printable, editable template, e-book and planner.
14 calm, editable replies: download help, zip and editing problems, printing, refund policy, custom requests, licence questions and review replies.
Editable plain-English starter wording for personal, commercial and classroom licences. A drafting aid, not legal advice.
The five questions for choosing where to sell, a principles comparison and a dated snapshot of example fees to check.
A ten-image listing sequence, the postage-stamp test for your first image and the mockup mistakes that cost clicks and cause refunds.
An ingredients audit, the questions to ask about fonts, images and AI-generated content, and a dated note on what official sources say.
One small task a day for 30 days, from niche scoring to your day-30 review. Imports into Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar.
A ready-made research sheet with 22 illustrative rows: phrase, source, demand, competition, gaps spotted and where to use each phrase.
Each chapter opens with a real situation, gives you a method and ends with something to do today, using the tools in your kit.
Why most shops earn little, what the first 100 sales teach you and how the kit fits together.
Choose a niche by audience, job and moment, then score it on demand, open space, fit and willingness to pay.
A one-hour validation routine and five honest conversations that tell you what to build and what to skip.
The seven-point usable product standard, the stranger test and instructions buyers will actually read.
An ingredients audit for fonts, images and AI content, plus clear licence terms for your own buyers.
Price as a signal and as arithmetic: net profit per sale, the pricing ladder, bundles and honest discounts.
How to choose where to sell with five questions, and the shape of VAT, GST and sales tax on digital goods.
Titles, tags, attributes and a first image that earns the click, with a before-and-after worked example.
Predictable delivery, two-minute support replies, a fair refund stance and reviews earned without tricks.
A week-by-week launch month, an email list from day one and a funnel-based way to fix what isn't working.
Sibling products, a monthly numbers review, the first-100 simulator and when to prune or persist.
Why patience and the dull parts are the real advantage, and what to do tonight.
Every outcome is practised with a worked example and a tool, not just described.
People who measure before and after improve faster and can show it. AssessAll, our sister assessment platform, has AI-graded assessments that pair with this kit. Take one now, work through the kit, then re-take it.
Here is the message every digital seller dreads: "Hi, I bought your template and I can't open it. Please refund." It usually arrives at 11.40 p.m. and it's rarely the buyer's fault. The product you built makes perfect sense to you. You know that the yellow cells are for typing, that the second file is the US Letter version, that the fonts need installing first. The buyer knows none of this. She's Wanjiru in Nairobi, on a phone, between meetings, and she has four minutes of goodwill. Your product either works inside those four minutes or it becomes a refund request and a two-star review. So the standard for a digital product isn't "does it look good?" It's "can a stranger use it without me?"

Start where buyers are already searching, which usually means a marketplace. Choose a specific audience and problem, confirm that people search and pay for it, and use their own phrases in your title and tags. Begin an email list from day one with a free sample so you are not dependent on one platform. The kit walks you through each step.
No. Nobody can honestly promise that, and most shops earn little without research and persistence. The kit gives you a sound method, working tools and a way to measure what is happening so you can improve. The First 100 simulator is a what-if tool using your own figures, not a forecast.
It depends on where your buyers will come from and who you want to handle payment, delivery and tax. Marketplaces bring search traffic and charge for it; creator platforms and own stores cost less per sale but you bring the buyers. Fees change, so the kit teaches the principles and gives you a calculator to compare options with current figures.
Yes. Money fields are plain numbers, so you can work in rupees, pounds, dollars, naira, shillings, dirhams or anything else. Listing fee, platform percentage, payment percentage and fixed fee, tax you remit and ad cost are all editable. The sample rows are examples only: you type in the current figures from your platform's official fee page.
Sometimes, and the rules differ by AI tool, platform and country, so check each platform's current policy. The kit explains the three separate questions (may I sell it, do I own it, is it any good), includes a cheat sheet of questions to check and a dated note on what official sources say. It is educational content, not legal advice.
No. The kit is practical and educational. It explains the shape of issues such as licensing, VAT and GST on digital goods, refunds and review rules so that you can ask good questions. For your own situation, check your platform's policies, your local law and a qualified accountant or legal professional.
A good way to measure your starting point is an independent assessment. AssessAll offers the Small Business Operating Decision Assessment for Shop, Service and Studio Owners, as well as Business & Commercial Acumen and Freelance & Client Work Judgment assessments. Take one before you begin and again after your first 100 sales to see what has changed.
Import the 30-day launch calendar and do one small task a day. To set the goal behind it, the Jobulary article on the WOOP method for professional goals is a useful companion: name your wish, the outcome, the obstacle and your plan, then turn it into a development plan alongside the kit's roadmap sheet.
