Easy Digital Product Ideas for Artist

I'll be lusting 9 digital products to make as an artist trying to make an income throigh art. 

All of these digital products consider time and effort, in order to succeed. So, always try to keep in mind different ways to make your digital products stand out with your art. 

What are Digital Products?

Digital products are products or services sold through the convience of online and will be used or seen through online. Digital products will provide a utility to the buyer, if thats related to work, business, personal improvemnnt, or decorations. 

Also, the wonderful thing about digtal products is, after creating a digital product it can be reused over and over. Without the need of creating new digital products everytime someone purchases a new item.

Benefits of Selling Digital Products

• Passive income-  Digital products can definitely be a source of passive income because when you create a digital product, you can resell the same product or service over and over again. 

• Low upfront cost- Unlike physical goods, that are priced based on the cost of manufactoring. Digital products are priced on how much time it take to make, since you won't spend money on manufactoring. So, you'll price your items based on how much time and effort you spend. 

• No Shipping fees-  Digital products will give you the convience of not worrying about shipping prices compared to physical goods. As well as, giving a quick and easy delivery process to buyers. 

• Easy to customer satifaction-  Gaining customer satifaction will be simple if done right. Your buyers will depend on the photos and description you will give them, so giving the best preview photos will help improve sales. Also, having a strong and easy to understand descrption such as explaining what and how your buyer will recieve their service or product. 

1. Wall Calendars

One of the hottest items at the moment are calendars because the year is almost over and people are looking forward for next year. Which is where your art skills come in handy because you can create a customized wall calendar set.

Adding your art sketches to certain pages or including special art pieces for each month. 

Buyers can either print your designs or download them digitally.

2 free sites I recommend you use are Canva and google slides. 

Being creative and using as much inspiration from other sellers in this catergory can help with ideas.

2. Downloadable Art Print

Downloadable art prints is probably the easiest option to sell your art digitaly because all you need to do is transfer your art into a png file. 

One way to level up your art print is by having a great mockup frame photo to market your art print.

Your buyers can easily print your art after purchasing. then add it to a frame and hang up on a wall.  This is a convienent way of selling your art without shipping fees and upfront cost. 

3. Stickers

Digital stickers are easy and fun to make. Without actually making a physical sticker or buying inventory to start a sticker career. 

Just by incorporting many sketches and doodles to create into a bundle for your buyers. 

Having a good editor or digital art creator to sketch will help so much to create a neat digital sticker.

Similar to the rest of the digital products, this one buyers can print or digitally download to use on digital planners or make a home.

4. Courses

Courses can be seen and used over and over again. Which is a perfect example of passive income. You record your video once and you can sell it as many times as you want. 

However, keep in mind some things before considering to make a course. For instance, includng a clear solution to something a beginner artist might struggle with. Try to market your course as something artist need to learn in order to improve their art or skills. 

After having a solution or strategy to improve some artistic obstacles they may have, Then you can record a course, it can be a mini series or one vifeo course. 

Finally it's time to sell your course online.

5. Ebooks

Ebooks are digital books, that can be read on  any digital device. There's a vast variety of ebooks for art, that includes so many subjects. Many beginner artist will look for more information about certain subjects. 

Some examples may include, acrylic paint, oil paints, blending colors, color theory and more. Which you can benefit if you have a strong art skill you're confident in.

Making an ebbok as tutorials or step by step format to really have your artist understand it. 

Remember to have fun with ebooks and taking your time explaining strategies in detail.

6. Graphic Designs

Graphic designers create an appealing design to bring in new costumers for the business their working for. Or you can be an independent/freelance graphic designer who can charge for dessigns for businesses looking for advertising. 

Graphic Designs are always in demand for small businesses trying to improve their visual advertising. This can involve businesses looking for logo creators, company brand identity, advertising, or illustrators who have bright ideas to captivate new customers. 

7. Cards/Invitations 

Cards and Invitations are used for many occasions and events. Which is why people search for printable or accessible cards or invitaions for their party. There's many niches to choose from, so search for one you're iterested in. 

Cards can be done two ways digitally, print on demand or printable cards. 

Print on demand cards can be done on a print on demand site, which you can just upload your artwork onto and the campany takes care of the printing and shipping for you. But the comapny does take a big part of the revenue for the accomendation of shipping, printing, and marketing.

Another option can be printable cards, which you just design and customize to the audience you're trying to sell. Then, your cistomers can print at home as many times as they want. 

So, once again you won't worry about shipping or printing.

8. Desktop Wallpaper Organizer Templates 

Desktop wallpaper are basic and anyone can get a wallpaper online for free. So, why sell a simple wallpaper?

Well,, many people are wiling to pay money to artist if the design is unique and can offer a helpful tool.

This helpful is called a wallpaper organizer, which is a wallpaper organizer, where buyers can organize their files neatly, or other important folders from work or personal documents.

Since almost everything is kept online. Some people are willing to pay for someone else to help them arrange a wallpaper for their desktop, and saving the buyer time of making their own organizer. 

9. Digital Planner

Digital planners are like any ordinary planner, but these are digital and may be used on laptops or IPads. 

Planners can consist of a weekly to-do list, meal plans, or monthly reminders. 

Digital planners are very popular digital item to sell right now.  These planers are mainly sold on etsy where there's a variety to choose from. 

So, inserting your sketches or art onto your digital planners can help boost sales. 

I once again recommend canva and google slides to create your digital planners.
