Episode notes
Defining Digital Products
- Define what you mean by "digital product".
- In this context, it means printables, PDFs, ebooks, not digital courses.
First Product Flop
- Cody Berman's first digital product was a 21st birthday party drinking game printable.
- It failed because 21-year-olds don't typically buy such things on Etsy.
SEO Validation
- Use keyword research tools like E-Rank and Everbee for Etsy or Ubersuggest and Google Trends in general.
- Look for "unicorns": products with high search demand and low competition.
