It’s the magic of passive income through digital products, and it’s more accessible than ever for aspiring entrepreneurs like you.
At Sadler Design Academy, we empower creatives and go-getters to turn their passion and skills into profit. Whether you want to design stunning planners, create downloadable art, or educate others with online courses and templates, digital products hand you the keys to a business that works for you—24/7.
Let’s dive into how you can start building your own stream of passive income, with plenty of fresh ideas straight from Sadler Design Academy and our buzzing Etsy shop.
What Makes Digital Products So Powerful?
Digital products are items you create once, then sell unlimited times without ever having to restock or ship a thing! Here are a few reasons they’re a game changer for entrepreneurs:
- Low startup costs
- Minimal risk compared to physical products
- Unlimited earning potential
- No inventory or shipping woes
- Flexibility to work from anywhere
Picture this: you create a beautiful Wedding Planner kit (like the best-selling templates we offer in our Etsy store). Once it’s up for sale, customers can buy and download it instantly—day or night, no matter where they are in the world.

Tips to Get Started Fast
Don’t let tech jitters or lack of experience hold you back. Here are five simple steps for launching your first digital product—and making your first passive sale:
Find Your Niche
Focus on a specific audience or problem you love solving. Are you an expert organizer? Channel that superpower into productivity planners or to-do lists. Love art? Try printable wall decor or coloring pages.
Create Your First Product
Keep it simple! Many entrepreneurs start with just one product. Use user-friendly design tools like Canva or Adobe Express. Not sure where to begin? The Sadler Design Academy shop has digital product templates you can customize without design experience.
Set Up Your Shop
Whether you want your own website or prefer a marketplace like Etsy, setting up shop has never been easier. Our guide How to Start on Etsy Without Fear walks you through every step, from listing your item to writing irresistible product descriptions.
Price to Sell—Profitably
Research what similar products are selling for in your niche. Value your time, expertise, and unique spin! Don’t just race to the bottom on pricing. High-quality products command high prices.
Automate and Promote
Once your product is up for sale, automation lets the magic happen. On Sadler Design Academy’s Etsy shop, customers buy, download, and start using our products with zero manual intervention.
Promote your store on social media, Pinterest, or through an email list. Want guidance? Our Instagram Strategy Workshop gives you actionable tips for building a loyal community (and more sales!).
