Are you struggling to make money from your blog? You’re not alone. Many bloggers feel stuck, thinking they don’t have a big enough audience, don’t know what to sell, or are overwhelmed by the tech side of selling digital products.
But here’s the truth: you don’t need a massive audience to make money. I’ve seen bloggers in all niches—food, parenting, wellness, and even social media coaching—hit $1,000 and beyond with just a few hundred engaged followers.
In this post, I’ll break down a simple four-step plan to start making real money from your blog—fast and for free. If you follow this, you could have your first digital product up and selling by the end of this week!

Step 1: Pick a Simple Digital Product to Sell
One of the biggest mistakes bloggers make is overcomplicating their digital product. The key is to start simple and solve a real problem.
Think about the six purchasing triggers people will pay for:
- ✅ Makes money
- ✅ Saves money
- ✅ Saves time
- ✅ Moves toward happiness
- ✅ Moves away from pain
- ✅ Raises social status
Now, here are three quick-to-launch digital product ideas that work in almost any niche:
📌 1. Digital Downloads (Price: $17 - $47)
Think of ebooks, guides, or printables. These work because people love "done-for-you" solutions.
- Food bloggers: A 7-day meal plan for busy parents ($37)
- Craft bloggers: A Beginner’s Guide to Crochet ($27)
- Parenting bloggers: A Printable Family Chore Chart ($17)
- Wellness coaches: A 30-Day Self-Care Journal ($27)
- Social media experts: An Instagram Reels Content Calendar ($47)
🎥 2. Workshops or Mini-Courses (Price: $47 - $97)
If you love teaching, create a live or recorded workshop.
- Food bloggers: A Live Meal Prepping Like a Pro Workshop ($67)
- Craft bloggers: A Handmade Holiday Gifts Mini-Course ($97)
- Parenting bloggers: A Toddler Tantrum Survival Live Q&A ($47)
- Wellness coaches: A Morning Routines for Energy & Focus Mini-Course ($67)
- Social media experts: A How to Grow on Instagram in 30 Days Workshop ($97)
💡 3. Coaching or Consulting (Price: $97 - $197)
People pay more for personalized help—this is a great high-ticket option.
- Food bloggers: "Blogging for Foodies" Coaching Call ($97)
- Craft bloggers: "Start Your Etsy Shop" Strategy Session ($147)
- Parenting bloggers: Sleep Training 1-on-1 Coaching ($97)
- Wellness coaches: Personalized Wellness Plan Coaching Call ($150)
- Social media experts: Instagram Audit & Strategy Call ($147)
👉 Quick math:
- Sell 22 copies of a $47 ebook = $1,000
- Book 7 coaching sessions at $147 each = $1,000+
Step 2: Create a Simple Sales Page
You don’t need a fancy website! A simple sales page should answer three key questions:
- What problem does your product solve? (Example: Struggling to meal plan?)
- How does your product solve it? (Example: A 7-day meal plan + grocery list)
- How can people buy it easily? (Example: Simple checkout page)

Step 3: Sell with a Simple 3-Email Sequence
💡 Email is the best place to sell. Why? Because it’s personal, direct, and high-converting. Here’s the only email sequence you need:
📩 Email #1: The Hook
Tell a story about the problem your product solves. Example: “I used to spend hours meal planning—until I figured out a simple system. Now I’m sharing it with you.”
🤔 Email #2: Overcome Objections
Address hesitations. Example: “Worried this won’t work? That’s why I include a step-by-step video guide and a money-back guarantee.”
⏳ Email #3: Urgency & Social Proof
Share testimonials and create FOMO. Example: “Sarah just emailed me saying this meal plan saved her five hours this week! Get yours before the price goes up in 3 days.”
🙌 No email list yet? No problem! Use MiloTree Free Plan to offer a freebie and start collecting emails—for free.
Step 4: Scale to $1,000+ with These Tricks
Once you start making sales, scale up fast with these simple strategies:
🔥 1. Offer an Upsell
When someone buys your product, offer them a related product or bonus on the thank-you page. Example: “Get a 1-on-1 coaching session for just $47 more!” ✅ MiloTree makes upsells easy!
⏳ 2. Run a Flash Sale
Offer a 24-hour discount to create urgency. Example: “Get 50% off for the next 24 hours only!”
🔄 3. Promote More Than Once
💡 80% of people don’t buy the first time they see an offer. Remind them! Experts say people need to see your offer 7 times before they take action.
👉 Be bold! If you know your product helps people, you have an obligation to sell it!
