How to Build a Digital Product and Sell It with No Code

You’ve got knowledge, experience, or skills but how do you turn that into income?

You don’t need to build an app.

You don’t need a fancy course platform.

You don’t even need a website (yet).

All you need is a smart idea, a few free tools, and the guts to launch something simple and useful.

 Step 1: Sell the Solution, Not the Product

Before you jump into tools or platforms, pause for a second:

What’s one problem you can help someone solve, digitally?

Not “I want to sell a planner.”

Try: “I’ll help busy moms plan meals in under 10 minutes a week.”

Not “I’ll make an ebook.”

Try: “I’ll help job seekers write irresistible CVs with my 1-hour crash guide.”

People don’t buy PDFs. They buy solutions.

Hot idea triggers:

1. I wish someone had told me this when I started…

2.  If I could go back 2 years, I’d just use this system…

3.  Here’s how I saved 6 hours a week with this…

Step 2: Create the Product (No Coding, No Headaches)

Now let’s build. 

Here’s what you can make, fast:

1. Ebook or Guide

Tool: Google Docs + Canva

Write in Docs, design the cover in Canva, export as PDF. Done.

2. Template (Notion, Canva, Google Sheets)

Tool: Notion.so / Canva.com / Google Sheets

Share the editable link or use a paid template site like Gumroad.

3. Mini Course or Video Tutorial

Tool: Systeme.io (free) or Loom

Record quick lessons, host them for free, and gate them with an email sign-up.

Your first product doesn’t have to be big. It just needs to work.

Step 4: Promote with Purpose, Not Pressure

You don’t need 1,000 followers. 

You need the right offer in front of the right people.

Here’s how to do it in a smart:

1.  Post a tip → Offer the solution

Planning content is hard? 

Here’s my free Canva template.

2.  Record a screen demo

Show your Notion planner in action. 

60-second clip. 

Real proof > shiny ads.

3.   Turn blog posts into sales tools

Teach something, then say: “If you want this done-for-you, here’s my digital product.”

That PDF you made?

Break it into:

1.  A mini ebook

2.  A checklist

3.  A guided email series

Bundle them. Upsell them. Repurpose them.

Digital = flexible. Leverage it.
