What you're missing out on by not having a digital product business
Hey,
I remember the day I decided to dive into the world of online business. It wasn’t an easy choice, but looking back, it’s been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made. If you’re on the fence about starting your own online business, let me share twelve reasons why this journey has been so transformative for me—and why it could be for you too.

Dickie Bush said it best: "Actionable takeaways within 5 minutes of digging in. Huge value."
1. Time Freedom
One of the biggest perks I’ve enjoyed is having complete control over my time. I can set my own hours, which means more personal time with family and friends. It’s been amazing to achieve a better work-life balance.
2. Location Freedom
Imagine working from anywhere in the world! Whether it’s from a cozy spot at home or while exploring new destinations, the freedom to work from anywhere has been incredible. It’s also allowed me to move around without worrying about my job.
3. Make Money Without Working
One of the coolest things about an online business is earning passive income. Whether it’s through affiliate marketing, digital products, or ad revenue, I’ve been able to make money even when I’m not actively working.
4. Work on Your Own Schedule
Creating my own schedule has been a game-changer. I work during my most productive hours, avoid burnout by taking breaks when needed, and easily accommodate personal commitments.
5. Tailor It to What You Enjoy
Starting my online business allowed me to build something around my passions and interests. It’s been incredibly motivating and fulfilling to work on something I truly love and express my creativity.
6. Unprecedented Opportunities
The digital age has opened up so many opportunities. From e-commerce and content creation to freelancing, there’s a world of possibilities out there.
7. Low Startup Costs
Compared to traditional businesses, starting a digital product business is surprisingly affordable. With tools like Canva, social media marketing, and platforms like Gumroad, the initial investment is minimal to nothing.
8. Do It Alongside Your Job
I personally started my online business while I lived cheaply in Argentina. But, you can still do it alongside your day job. It doesn’t have to be a very time intensive thing. Just 1-2 hours each day.
9. Additional Income
The extra income from my online business has been fantastic. It’s helped me pay off debts, increase my savings, and move closer to true financial independence.
10. Potential for a High Income
The potential for significant revenue in online businesses is real. With the right strategies, I’ve been able to scale my business, diversify income streams, and reach a global audience.
11. Large Exit Potential
A successful online business can be sold for a considerable profit. Growing my revenue and customer base has increased the value of my business, opening up exciting exit opportunities.
12. Learn Useful Skills
Running an online business has equipped me with invaluable skills—digital marketing, content creation, and entrepreneurial skills that have benefited me in so many ways.
