Have you ever, even for a moment, thought about creating and selling digital products, but then felt overwhelmed and confused because you didn't think you were good enough? I totally understand how you feel. If you still have no idea what a digital product is, it's something that is created and shared in a digital format, like ebooks, online courses, and templates. You can download or access these products online whenever and wherever you have an internet connection. According to my oh-so-impressive findings, the number of digital product transactions has gone up by nearly 70% in the last two years, showing how much potential there is in this space. I mean, we're living in a digital age where everything seems to be happening online, right? But, what kind of things can you create and sell online? And here's where your brain might just get itself into a bit of a pickle.

Give it a try and see if it might just be the thing you've been looking for. Cheers, Minosh. |

There’s a guy on Reddit who built a scraper that watches Craigslist for used cars priced way below market. The moment one shows up, he gets an alert.
