In today's video, I'm going to be breaking down three reasons why digital products are the number one best way to make money in 2025 and beyond. This is coming from someone, guys. My wife and I, we've done multiple eight figures across multiple different market. We've had very successful businesses in real estate, in E commerce, marketing agencies in intellectual property and consulting, and a ton of other markets. And if I could go back to the beginning, knowing what I know now, and coach myself, what I'm going to be sharing in this video today is exactly what I would have said to myself back then. So you can just skip the line, go through this short training and hopefully you can get there much quicker than it took me. Let's get into it. Well, today's video is brought to you guys by my upcoming five day live virtual training called Create and Sell Digital Products, where over the course of five days, we're going to spend a whole entire week together. I'm going to show you step by step, exactly what you need to know on how to implement some of the principles I'm going to be sharing with you in the training today. Guys, you don't have to be a tech guru, you don't have to have a lot of Internet skills. You don't have to be a guru at all. You don't even have to really understand what digital products are yet. This upcoming training is perfect for beginners. Just like you. Click the link down below, make sure to join me. Hurry, because seats are flying already. And the next training is coming up right around the corner. Guys, let's jump into the training. So what are the three reasons on why digital products are the number one best way to make money online in 2025 and beyond? Well, like I said earlier, come with me here to the board. Like I said earlier, okay. I have done pretty well in real estate, I've done pretty well in E commerce, I've done pretty well in marketing agencies. And a bunch of other intellectual property. And on and on and on and on. Okay, so here's the thing. There's a lot of business opportunities out there online right now that all of them could be lucrative. Like right now, affiliate marketing is pretty cool. Airbnb is pretty cool. But let me Submit this to you. Okay, before we get into the three reasons, let me submit this to you. No matter what that opportunity is. Maybe you're like, oh, I saw this cool thing about affiliate marketing, or I saw this cool thing about getting started with Airbnb, or I saw this ad about getting started with Amazon fba, or there's even programs out there teaching you how to list products on Walmart.com okay? How are 100% of these online opportunities, how are they going to share the information? And to get started with you, they're going to do it through a digital product. They're going to probably sell you some kind of course, some kind of mentorship program, some kind of digital training manual. Guys, here's the thing. What I want for you, and this is the point of the training today, okay? All of these really cool opportunities out there right now, 100% of them, as far as online opportunities, 100% of them are going to fulfill that opportunity through a digital product. So my question to you is, instead of trying to, like, figure out the actual opportunity of, like, whatever, how to get started with Airbnb or how to get started with Crypto, or how to get started with Amazon fba, instead of trying to learn the actual thing, just learn digital products. Because when you learn digital products, you just skip the line. You go to straight to the punchline, and you can start literally making money while you sleep. I know it sounds too good to be true, but come with me here to the board and let's talk about the three reasons on why digital products are the best way to make money online in 2025 and beyond. Let's do it. Okay? So number one, why are digital products the best way to create income in 2025 and beyond? Well, They're simple and easy to create. Okay? That's the first step. Why are digital products the best? They're simple and easy to create. Check this out, okay? When it comes to digital products, there's no inventory, there's no shipping. You don't have any crazy overhead. Think about it. In a traditional business, okay? Like, if you have an E commerce business, all right, let's say you're selling whatever, blenders on Amazon, or you're selling blenders through Shopify or whatever it is. You. You have a cool product. But the thing is, is you have to, like, pay ahead in order to get these products in, okay? And then whenever you have these products, let's say you order 100 or 300 to start off with on your first order, where are you going to Keep these things like in the garage. And where are you going to get the money to spend thousands of dollars to actually order the first round of blenders or whatever it is that you sell? Okay, and how do I know this? Because like I mentioned, my wife and I, we started an E Commerce brand that did very, very successful. In fact, it did over seven figures and it was a nightmare. Why? Because when it comes to E Commerce, there are so many things that are out of your control. Like, I remember one time I put in an order for one of our products, okay. And literally somebody like, whenever you order, you have to order usually from overseas if you want to save enough money to make enough profit. And it is just crazy. Like I want to. A lot of people are like, I want to manufacture everything in the US that's an awesome idea, right? But it's usually more expensive to manufacture things here in the US So a lot of online shop or online E commerce shops, excuse me, they have to be ordered, their inventory is ordered from overseas. Okay? So not only do you have to order from overseas, but if you want to make as much profit as possible, these products have to come over by boat. Like they have to be shipped across the ocean to you. Well, Rick, why don't we just fly them? Because it's this. If you fly them, it costs just as much to get them manufactured here in America and you're losing profit margin. So at the end of the day, like you're literally doing things for pennies on the dollar. So you have to like go through all these hoops. Well, here's the crazy story. I had put in an order for one of my E Commerce products and I was waiting, you know, weeks and weeks for the shipment to come over on the boat. And it finally arrived over at customs. Woohoo. And I got the notification, your shipment has arrived. I'm like, yes, we're only about a week out now from this being shipped over to the warehouse and then scanned in and then we can relist. I'm telling you, it's a nightmare. Okay, but here's the crazy part. Our shipment came in like your shipment has arrived. A week goes by, no one knows where. My shipments at two weeks goes by, no one knows I'm on the phone, I'm calling everybody, where the heck's my stuff? What's going on, guys? I spent thousands of dollars on this shipment. Thousands, okay? And I called them. What's going on? What's going on? No one knew what was going on. Finally, at the end of the day, someone Tracked down some security footage, and it looks like some young kid who is like, they're just receiving all of the loads at the dock, scanned my product wrong and sent it to the wrong doc somewhere and no one knew where the heck it was. And I was like, okay, well, this is terrible. Like, can you guys please give me my money back? And then at that point, everyone's like, oh, we don't, we don't know who would give you the money because, you know, it's not our fault and it's not their fault. I ended up losing thousands of dollars because with E commerce, there's so many things that are out of your control. That's not to mention, if you get into E commerce, you have to design or find a product that is selling really well. Whenever you actually go through the whole crazy, strenuous process of listing your thing online, specifically on Amazon, like Amazon fba, okay, there are, they're called pirates. There are pirates out there. Different Chinese manufacturers that go on and they like, they troll Your account with 1 star reviews so that it lowers the rank of your product so that their product can go higher. Like there's a whole crazy game to E commerce. And then where do you ship all this stuff? I had to pay for warehouses, man. I had to pay for inventory. Why are digital products the number one best way to make money online in 2025? Because they are simple and easy to create, guys. There's no inventory, there's no shipping costs, there's no crazy overheads. There's no young kid who accidentally scans it wrong and ships it to, you know, Timbuktu. Who in the heck knows where it goes? Okay, whether it's an ebook, whether it's a course, whether it's a training manual, whether it's a mentorship program, you make it once and then you can sell it over and over and over again. One more story. When it comes to how easy and simple these digital products are to create, okay, a number of years ago, probably six or seven years ago, I had created a number of different courses around the subject of worship. A lot of you guys and gals know I come from the missions and worship world. And I had like a ton of different courses on worship. And it was two Black Fridays ago, some of the team was like, yo, you just have all these courses sitting here. Do you want to do anything with these? We haven't done anything with these in years. And I was like, sure, let's do it. And so I took old courses. They were still wonderful. Like, the quality was High. The content was fire. I just wasn't doing anything with them. They're just kind of sitting there in the digital world, right? Not in a warehouse somewhere that I had to pay every month for this warehouse. And I said, yeah, let's, let's sell these courses. So we sent out one email, guys, we bundled some of these courses together that I created like six years before, whatever it was, bundled them together, sent out one email and boom, we made $40,000 just from one email from courses that I had created years ago in the past. Like when I'm telling you guys, the simplicity and the ease of digital products, you can't beat it. You cannot beat it. Okay? If you're getting this drop some fire emojis down in the comments if you're starting to see, whoa, this actually sounds pretty cool, right? So reason number one, why are digital products the best way to make money in 20, 25 and beyond? Because they're simple, they're easy to create, they're such low headache when it comes to digital products. Okay, let's go to number two. Check this out. Reason number two, why digital products are incredible and why you should consider getting into digital products right now. Reason number two is this. The startup costs. Are minimal to even non existent. Like I know that might sound too good to be true. Like wait a second, it doesn't cost anything to get started. Well, it depends. Do you have a phone? Do you have a laptop? Like, do you have a smartphone that can connect to the Internet? If you do, there's not really much more you need to invest in. Do you have a laptop? If you do, there's not really much more you need to invest in. You might want to go to like Best Buy or Target or somewhere like that. Or go into Amazon and buy like a $20 little video stand. I'm looking to see if I have one here. I have one around here somewhere. But buy a $20 little tripod where you can just set your phone in there. Your phone has a built in camera. It's got a built in mic. Yes. Can you do a little bit nicer audio? Sure. Do you need to make sure the lighting is cool? Sure. But you don't need to invest thousands or even hundreds of dollars to get started. I have students right now. I've got one student in particular. I'm thinking of this woman. Okay. She started with her digital products and she's like, I don't have a ton of money to invest. I said, it's okay. I showed her the system. Here's how to build your digital products. And she actually ended up building a course on her phone. Okay? She built a course on her phone. It was wonderful content. It was absolutely fire. And she put together this course, her digital product, and she used our system to put her digital product out there. And boom, she started making money passively. She was absolutely blown away. In fact, she was at her mother's 70th birthday, and while she was at her mom's 70th birthday, her phone's going, cha ching, cha ching, cha ching. She was making money passively while she was at her mom's birthday. All with almost zero startup costs. If you want to get fancy with it, you could buy a nice little ring light, you could buy a little tripod, you could buy a little microphone. But honestly, guys, even, like, in my social media and stuff, I'll use a microphone that literally costs 20 bucks and it sounds incredible. You just plug it into your phone and hold up the mic. You can clip it on your shirt, you can clip it on your hat, you can clip it on your glasses. You can just hold it. And so it doesn't have to be this complicated, like, well, I need a whole bunch of money. Think about this. Opportunities, like, let's just say Airbnb, okay? With Airbnb, you literally have to go and rent this house, okay? The rent is on you. So maybe that's 2,000 bucks a month, 3,000 bucks a month, depending on where it's at and how big the house is. So, number one, you already have incurred the cost of rent probably for at least a year, because you probably have to sign some kind of leasing agreement. Okay, okay, Then you have to furnish the whole entire Airbnb. Like, think about that. You have to furnish a whole entire house. At minimum, that's going to cost you 7 to $10,000 to just furnish the house, the Airbnb, like, in the cheapest way possible. Okay? And then after you have the reincurring cost of rent every single month, then you have the upfront costs of 7 to $10,000 just to furnish the house. Then you somehow have to find renters to rent your Airbnb, and if they don't, you still have to pay that monthly rent because you sign an agreement, you signed a lease, and it's on you, okay? With digital products, none of that exists. Because here's the cool part, okay? Because the startup costs for digital products are so low, guess what that means for you. That means that the potential for profit margins is extremely high. I am talking literally, guys, this is not an exaggeration. The profit margins, The profit margins for digital products can literally be anywhere from 70% to even 90%, sometimes even all the way up to 100% if you already have some of the, you know, the startup things that you need, like a phone or a laptop, right? Like, it is so crazy. Think about this. Like you could either go, let's say you work a job. Watch this, okay? Let's say you work a job and your job, let's say you make 20 bucks an hour, okay? If you want to make a hundred bucks, you have to work five hours in order to make a hundred dollars, okay? Think about that. Like, if you want to make 100 bucks, you have to trade five hours of your life to make a hundred bucks. If you work a job, that makes 20 bucks an hour, okay? But if you have a digital product, okay, you literally have a digital product. Let's say you have a course, that's a hundred bucks. You literally only have to sell one, one course in order to make $100. I don't know about you, but saving five hours of my life by simply building a digital product, which a lot of times, guys, people don't understand this. Digital products are basically their digital assets. Assets are investments that you make that pay you over and over and over. And liabilities are purchases that you make that you have to pay for over and over and over. Like a car. A car is a liability, okay? Like random tennis shoes that you had to have but you couldn't afford, so you put it on a credit card and you're paying every single month for this random pair of tennis shoes or that random purse. Those are liabilities, okay? But digital products, if you were to build $100 course, okay, using our system, and you put this course out there, you only have to sell three of them a day. Like, that's very, very doable. It's very easy to do. You only have to sell three a day to make 300 bucks a day. And look, I have news for you, okay? Let me do a little math here on my phone. $300 a day times 30 days in the month, that would be, That would be an extra $9,000 per month. Per month. Like, let's say you don't even sell three courses a day. Maybe you're like doing this part time while you're chilling on the beach. Maybe you only sell one 100 course a day. Now you're still making an extra three grand a month. Like, I don't know about you, but like, that is Pretty incredible. And the crazy part with digital products is anybody can do this. And here's my favorite part. It comes back to the very first thing I told you on reason number two on why digital products are incredible. The startup costs are minimal to non existence. So that means the profit margins are humongous when it comes to digital products. Okay? When you sell a digital product that you created on your phone, or maybe you created it, you know, on your laptop or whatever it was, or maybe you went on to Canva and you created this amazing digital training manual, okay? And you put this out there and whenever you make a sale, because it's your own intellectual property, you keep 100% of that money. You don't have to share that money with anybody else. Like you don't owe a commission to somebody. You don't have to. Like with affiliate marketing, if you don't know what affiliate marketing is, affiliate marketing is when somebody has a product and you sell it for them. This is really big right now, like on TikTok shop, okay? Like people like, hey, look at this new protein bar. Hey, these earrings are cool. Or hey, check out this new whatever nail polish or whatever the heck they're selling, right? Whenever that person makes the sale, it's not their product, they're selling a product for somebody else. And let's just say it's a, it's a hundred dollar product or a $50 product. Well, if you look it up, the average commission paid out on a sale on TikTok is anywhere from 3 to 5%. So. Okay, cool. You just, you posted on TikTok and you sold, you know, $100 workout band, you know, set, you know, and it's got like the different bands for the legs and the arms and then it's got like a training man. It was $100 physical product and you made $3. $3, it's a 3% commission. Would you rather make $3 off of 100 or would you rather make $100 off of 100? That's the beauty of digital products. The startup costs are low to minimal and literally the profit margins can go up to 100%. Literally. I have a number of digital products that I make 100% profit on. You can too, if you're ready for number three. Drop a three in the comments. Check this out. Okay? This one's really fun. The third reason why digital products are so incredible is because digital products, Digital products can reach anyone around the world. Instantly. Instantly. Think about this, guys, like, have you ever ordered something off of whatever Amazon or You know, some random person's website. Then you had to wait, like, four days, and then the shipping was delayed or it was a holiday. And so you're like, oh, man, now it's an extra two days. I got away with digital products. Ebooks, courses, mentorship programs, training manuals, cheat sheets, Right. Spreadsheet templates. These are all digital products, okay? Audio trainings, okay? When somebody purchases your digital product from you, they don't have to wait two days, one day overnight shipping. They don't have to wait at all. They push pay, and boom, they receive the product instantly. Like, think about how convenient this is for people, man. No one's got to wait for your product to be delivered. They just go bing, bing, bing, put in their information, boom, they hit pay, and boom, the product has been delivered to them instantly. I don't know about you, but we live in a day and age right now where everybody wants everything now. No one wants to wait. Like, as much of us order stuff off of Amazon all the time. At least my wife does. And, you know, you show up at the house and there's like three or four Amazon packages, and you're like, what the heck? What do we even order? You don't even remember. Every day's like, what in the world's going on? Because there was so much delay. Like, you ordered it two, three, four days ago, and it's finally here. Depending on where it's coming from, maybe it was seven days or 10 days or 12 or 14, whatever. With digital products, you can literally reach anyone around the world instantly. I have a number of international students who are like, does this work for me? I live in Germany. I live in Japan. I live in Brazil. I live in whatever, Mexico. I live in Canada. Does this work for me? Of course it does. Digital products, as long as you have some kind of skill, passion, knowledge, experience, or expertise. And by the way, you don't have to be an expert. You could just be totally passionate about Ninja Turtles. What? Yes. Literally, there's a ton of people out there who would love to purchase a training course on how to be a Ninja Turtle collector and which ones are the best and blah, blah, blah. I might actually be interested in that. Who knows? Like, there are people out there right now who are looking for the best way to sharpen their sales skills. Maybe you've been a car salesman for 20 plus years or even for three years or one year or six months or whatever it's been, and you're like, yo, I learned some things. You could put that into a course into a training manual, into an ebook. And people would love to pay you for your knowledge. That's what digital products are, guys. Digital products are knowledge products that you can sell your knowledge even while you sleep. Crazy story for you. Okay, a couple of years ago, it's my son's birthday, and I'm putting him to bed, and I was like, hey, buddy, your birthday's coming up. What do you want for your birthday? And he says, oh, man, I would love to go bass fishing, dad. I want to go bass fishing. I never heard the kid talk about bass fishing in his life. Now I've taken him fishing, you know, a number of times, but never like, bass fishing specifically. And I was like, okay, cool. We can figure this out, bro. And so he goes to sleep. And I was like, okay, I don't know the first thing about bass fishing. So I start googling and I start youtubing. And I'm like, okay, what pole do I need? What bait do I need? Where in the world? Who has bass to fish where I live? Like, I didn't know anything. And then I was like, you know what? I'm just gonna do what I already know what I teach people how to do. And I search bass fishing course. Like, somebody out there has created a course on how to bass fish. And boom, I googled it, and bing, right there. It pops up on the screen. And I looked for the best one. I was like, this one looks good. I paid the guy $2,000. 2000 to learn his approach on bass fishing. So you might be sitting here going, well, you know, my niche or the people I would serve. It's not quite that cool. You know, I do whatever sourdough bread making. I'm a homeschool mom. I'm just a grandma or whatever it is. Could you imagine if the bass fishing guy was like, oh, all I do is I just really cool. I think fishing for bass is really cool. Who would want to buy a course from me? Well, guess what? It's happening all the time. That's the beauty of digital products, guys. They literally sell even while you sleep. Like, I purchased this course from this guy at like 10pm at night. He could have been asleep by then, and he was making money into sleep by simply selling his knowledge. That's the beauty of digital products. Anyone can do this. You don't have to be a guru. You don't have to have a bunch of tech skills. I'm not the most tech savvy person at all. I don't know how to run any of these Cameras and all this stuff. I literally started on my cell phone for years. I did it for two or three years by myself on my cell phone. And I did fine. We made millions of dollars off of my cell phone, just me and my cell phone. Before I hired any staff, before I invested into any equipment. You can too. All you need is a proven blueprint, a system that you can plug your ideas into that you know, this system and this blueprint works and boom, it's off to the races, man. So real quick, let's recap on here, okay? Number three, why is the third reason why digital products are the number one best way to make money online in 2025 and beyond? Because digital products can reach anyone around the world instantly. There's no shipping delays, there's no restrictions. If you got a passion, if you got a skill, you can turn it into something. And literally that is an educational resource. People can download it and learn from it instantly. This means that it's scalable, it's accessible, and it works for any niche. Okay, so real quick, we're going to recap the whole entire thing. Number one, why are digital products the best? Why? They're simple and easy to create. Anyone can do this. All you need is a phone and a laptop. Number two, the startup costs are minimal to non existent. That means the profit margins are enormous. Okay, and then number three, digital products can reach anyone around the world instantly. Guys, listen. I have an upcoming five day live virtual training.
