# 12 Digital Product Ideas to Make Serious Money Online Want to make some serious money online? Discover 12 digital product ideas that are helping people rake in anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000 on platforms like eBay, Amazon, and Etsy! And if you stick around, I'll share the exact websites, AI apps, and Canva tools you can use to create these products. Let's dive right in! ### 1. Canvas Shape Frames Believe it or not, canvas shape frames are a hot digital product right now. One Etsy seller's canvas shape frame pack has seen 15 purchases in the last 24 hours. Research app Allure estimates they've made over $20,000 from it. What's even more impressive? Allure estimates they have 25 other canvas-shaped frame listings that have made over $1,000 each! In total, sales for these shape templates can reach over $82,000. But what are canvas shape frames? Within Canva, if you search for frames, you'll find a bunch of pre-installed frames. Simply select a frame, drag a picture into it, and it fits perfectly. While Canva offers frames, you can create and sell your own custom ones using any shape, image, or text. ### How to Create Custom Canvas Shape Frames: 1. **Design in Canva:** Add pictures, shapes, or texts to a new Canva project. 2. **Save as SVG:** Save the project as an SVG file with a transparent background. 3. **Use an Advanced Image Editor:** Open Foria (a free browser-based Photoshop clone). 4. **Upload and Merge:** Upload your SVG file, highlight all layers, right-click, and merge them into a single layer. 5. **Add Color Layer:** Click to add a new layer on top, select the paint bucket tool, and fill it with a color. 6. **Create Clipping Mask:** Right-click the new layer and select clipping mask. The shape fills with color. 7. **Save as PSD:** Save the result as a PSD file. 8. **Upload to Canva:** In a new Canva project, upload your saved PSD file (find it in your projects folder). 9. **Finalize:** Add it to the canvas, click delete, and select "delete the image." Now you've created a custom frame! Just drag an image onto it. You’ll need Canva Pro to save your images as SVG files. ### 2. Themed Activity Books and Packs Themed activity pages for events like Christmas, Easter, or Valentine's Day are popular on Etsy and Amazon. One Valentine's Day activity pack on Etsy saw six downloads in 24 hours, while another saw 22 downloads. You can repurpose these activity pages by compiling them into a single PDF and selling it as a KDP book on Amazon. ### How to create a Themed Activity Book: 1. **Design activity pages:** Use platforms like Canva to design activity pages based on the theme you are creating. 2. **Combine them into a PDF:** Once you have enough pages, compile them into a single PDF file. 3. **Upload on Amazon KDP:** Upload this file to Amazon KDP to start selling. Themed activity books are popular on Amazon. For instance, one Valentine's Day activity book is estimated to sell over 1,400 copies a month, generating over $12,000. Another is selling 1,351 copies *per day*, bringing in $10,794.49 in daily revenue! Canva is a great resource for creating these. They have templates for various activity pages, which you can customize with your own text and graphics. ### 3. AI-Generated Home Ideas Don't overlook eBay! You can sell digital products there too. Some products perform better on eBay due to its different customer base. One eBay store has over 800 sales, with recent success in AI-generated home ideas – image packs of AI-generated homes and gardens. This product might not do as well on Etsy, but it thrives on eBay. One new listing already has 22 watchers and six sales. Another has 26 watchers and four sales. The store creates scarcity by listing only five image packs at a time. When they sell out, they relist. This creates urgency, encouraging watchers to buy now. ### 4. Vintage Art Vintage art is a popular digital product on Etsy. One piece has made $15 in the last 24 hours, adding up to over $30,000 in total. The cool thing about vintage art is that copyright protection expires (usually 70 years after the creator's death), or never existed in the first place. This enters the art into the public domain, meaning anyone can legally download and resell it for profit. You can find cool vintage public domain images online, download them, and resell them – no purchase necessary. ### Tips for Selling Vintage Art: 1. **Find Images:** Use free-images.com to find vintage art. 2. **Edit in Canva:** Enhance and upscale pictures using Canva’s AI tools for high-resolution printing. 3. **Print on Demand:** Sell actual prints using print on demand services. One Etsy store specializing in vintage wall art prints has made over $1.2 million. ### 5. Maximalist Art Bundles Once you have a collection of art (like vintage pictures), turn it into a Maximalist bundle. Customers love these bundles as a quick, easy, and cheap way to furnish a house or room with lots of artwork. Students often buy them to decorate dorm rooms. One bundle has had four downloads in the last 24 hours, contributing to over $95,000 in total sales. Different image styles sell well as bundles, like modern artwork. One modern Maximalist bundle made over $140 passively in a single day. ### 6. Personalized Reports and Experiences Personalized services are booming on Etsy and eBay. One personalized tarot card reading offers a custom video and has seen 13 purchases in 24 hours. On eBay, one new listing has 18 purchases. An exterior design paint report sends customers a custom downloadable report with recommended color palettes. One such report has made over $39,000. Another report for personalized interior paint offers a custom color palette plan with a digital download and planner. This has made over $44,000! The store's total estimated sales from downloadable reports exceed $100,000. If you have an interesting professional skill, consider creating a personalized report or experience to sell. ### 7. Printable Greeting Card Packs If you're creative, printable greeting card packs can be a lucrative side hustle, especially around holidays. One Valentine's Day printable greeting card pack on Etsy had 58 downloads in 24 hours. Consistency is key. Ensure the cards have similar-style pictures. ### Tips for Consistent Card Designs: 1. **Magic Recommendations:** If using Canva clip art, use the magic recommendation feature to find art from the same series. 2. **Attach to Other Images:** Search for a style you like and use the magic recommendations tool to find more. Then, attach these to other images to create consistency. ### 8. AI-Enhanced Personalized Gifts Personalized gifts are popular on Etsy, where customers send photos to be turned into personalized items. One custom personalized digital poster has made over $940,000. This market is emerging on eBay as well. One eBay account uses AI face swap tools for AI-enhanced personalized gifts. They create fake scarcity by adding a limited item count (20 each time) and have sold 22 since posting. ### Face Swap Tools: * DeepFakes Face Swap * Tool Swap Anything These are open-source and free to use on GitHub. ### 9. Business Starter Kits One interior design business starter kit on Etsy has made over $170,000. This kit contains over 120 assets, like proposal templates, so it's a lot of work. Speed up creation by using pre-installed templates in Canva for inspiration. ### 10. Individual Business Assets Breaking up your business assets into individual digital products can also be lucrative. * One pitch deck presentation has made over $14,000. * A client contracting and onboarding template bundle has made over $14,000. * A brochure template has made over $21,000. ### 11. AI-Enhanced Vintage Photos Many Etsy stores that sell vintage artwork also sell vintage photos, which is a great way to diversify income. * One photo available as a digital download has made over $14,000. * Another vintage photo has made over $10,000. * One featuring pasta has made over $20,000! Individual photos may not make millions, but collectively, a great collection can add up. ### Where to Find Vintage Photos: * Government archives (like the USA’s Library of Congress) * Wikipedia Upscale and enhance these photos using AI-enhanced graphic editing apps like Canva. Sell them as physical wall prints using print-on-demand services. ### 12. Niche Aesthetic Planners and Journals Generic journals and planners are a saturated niche on Etsy. Many people try to sell their own generic planner or journal because the biggest products can make a lot of money. One planner has made over $1.1 million. Another has made over $1.4 million, and another has made $1.5 million! Because it's so popular, there's a lot of competition. For an easier product to stand out with (without actively marketing it), consider making aesthetic journals themed around a specific niche. One witchy astrology-themed digital planner has made over $36,000, and the store’s total estimated sales from these themed planners and journals is over $200,000 – with less competition.
