Why sell digital products on Etsy?

There are so many reasons to sell digital products.

When you’re starting out, they require almost no upfront investment, and you can often start designing and selling digital items in only a few days without ever leaving the comfort of your home.

Unlike physical products, once you start selling, there is no need to purchase and store any inventory and no shipping costs to worry about.

Plus, digital products are more profitable and easily more scalable than most other business ideas out there.

Best of all, once you’ve created a digital product once, you can sell it forever, making digital products an excellent potential source of passive income.

But why sell digital products on Etsy specifically?

Because Etsy is an online marketplace with a huge built-in customer base – nearly 100 million active buyers in 234 countries – and many of these buyers head to Etsy looking for digital products.

As you will see below, there are many Etsy sellers making big money with digital products right now!
