Learn how to package your God-given skills into a digital product that builds freedom, fulfillment, and financial overflow.
There comes a time in every woman’s journey when she realizes that the job, the title, or the approval she once chased no longer fits the woman she’s becoming. Maybe you’re sitting at your desk right now, scrolling through social media, watching people launch courses, sell planners, or run thriving online businesses and something deep inside whispers, “You could do that too.”
And guess what? You can.
But before we dive into strategy, let me say this with my whole heart:You already have everything you need to start.
That skill you’ve downplayed. That experience you’ve survived. That knowledge that comes so naturally you assume everyone knows it? That’s the very thing God, and this digital economy, is waiting on you to package, share, and multiply.
This is your permission slip to stop being the best-kept secret and start operating like the CEO of your purpose.
You Don’t Need Permission, You Need a Plan
When I first entered the digital space, I thought success belonged to the “chosen few” the influencers with big followings, expensive cameras, and connections I didn’t have. Then I met women who were making six figures teaching everything from credit repair to candle-making, from journaling to budgeting, and they weren’t any smarter than me. They just had a plan.
Before you post another thing online, you must first clarify three foundational pieces:
Your Offer – What are you helping people do, feel, or achieve?
Your Audience – Who needs it, and what keeps them up at night?
Your Path to Profit – How will you deliver and monetize it?
Your offer doesn’t have to be fancy. Maybe you’re great at organizing chaotic spaces, cooking on a budget, designing resumes, or writing affirmations. If you can solve a problem, simplify a process, or inspire transformation, you have a digital product inside you.
Identify Your Monetizable Skill
Let’s start with the simplest question: What do people constantly ask you for help with?
Do friends text you for meal-prep tips? Do coworkers ask you to edit their resumes or fix their Canva graphics? Do people naturally come to you for advice on parenting, skincare, healing, or finances?
That, my love, is a monetizable skill.
Every skill can be turned into one of these four profitable digital products:
Education-based Products – Teach people what you know. (Courses, guides, masterclasses, workbooks)
Automation Tools – Give people templates or systems to save time. (Planners, checklists, dashboards, scripts)
Transformation Products – Help people achieve a result or mindset shift. (Journals, affirmations, eBooks)
Community-based Products – Create belonging through shared goals. (Memberships, challenges, group programs)
Take a breath and write this down:“My skill helps people _________.”
Once you can fill that blank, you’re halfway to profit.
Validate Before You Create
Most people waste months building a product no one asked for. Don’t make that mistake. Test the market before you marry it.
You do this by asking, not assuming. Post a poll. Ask your followers, “If I created a [planner, guide, or workshop] to help you [solve specific problem], would you be interested?” Go live and talk about your process. Watch what lights people up. Create a 3-question survey. Pay attention to their language, their pain points become your product copy.
If you don’t yet have an audience, join Facebook groups or online communities where your people already hang out. Listen more than you speak. Validation is just alignment made visible.
Package It Like a Pro
Here’s where we shift from passion to profit. Your idea must now become tangible, something people can see, touch, and buy.
Let’s break down the packaging process:
Choose the Right Format. Don’t overcomplicate it. If you love writing, start with a workbook or digital guide. If you love teaching, record a mini-course using Loom or Canva slides. If you love organizing, create templates, spreadsheets, or digital planners.
Design With Intention. You don’t need a $5K designer. You need clarity and Canva. Choose brand colors that reflect the mood you want people to feel. Remember, clarity converts more than aesthetics.
Name It Boldly. A strong name sells the transformation, not the task. Instead of “Budget Tracker,” think “Financial Freedom Dashboard.”Instead of “Wellness Journal,” try “Reclaim Your Energy Planner.” The name should instantly tell your audience, “This is for me.”
Price for Value, Not Guilt
Let’s talk about money. Because many women, especially those of us raised to over-give, struggle here. People don’t pay for the information, they pay for implementation and transformation.
That means if your digital product saves someone hours of confusion, gives them confidence, or accelerates results, they will pay for that value. Period.
Here’s a quick pricing formula you can use:
Low Ticket ($10-$47) → Quick wins (checklists, mini-ebooks, templates)
Mid Ticket ($47-$197) → Deeper transformation (journals, planners, workshops)
High Ticket ($197+) → Comprehensive systems (courses, memberships, 1:1 programs)
Start where you feel confident, then increase as testimonials roll in. Raising your price is a sign of growth, not greed.
Market Like a Storyteller
Selling isn’t about pressure, it’s about purpose.
You’re not begging people to buy. You’re showing them how your product solves their problem and gives them peace.
Here's a marketing framework:
Educate – Give valuable tips related to your product. (“Here are 3 ways to organize your week for productivity.”)
Entertain – Share relatable moments, humor, or behind-the-scenes stories. (“Here’s how I turned my chaos into clarity, using the same planner I sell!”)
Empower – Show what’s possible when people take action. (“My student used this journal to pay off $5K in debt. You can too.”)
People buy emotionally and justify logically. So tell stories that make them feel seen.
Systems Make You Sustainable
Once your product sells, the next step is to automate. You’re building a business, not a burnout. Automation tools, like email funnels, digital delivery platforms (Thinkific, Shopify, Gumroad), and social media schedulers, allow you to serve hundreds without losing your sanity.
This is where the our Digital Product Planner becomes your secret weapon.
A Business Asset Designed For Creators
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to turn your ideas into income, this is your solution.The Digital Product Planner was designed for creators, coaches, and dreamers who are tired of starting from scratch every time a new idea hits.
Inside, you’ll find:
Product Planner Pages – Clarify your offer, your audience, your price, and your path to scale.
Content Brainstorm Maps – Plan the content that connects, converts, and compels people to buy.
Revenue Trackers & To-Do Lists – Organize high-leverage tasks that actually move the money needle.
70+ Hyperlinked Pages – Navigate your business effortlessly without the tech overwhelm.
No more “throwing spaghetti at the wall” entrepreneurship. This planner gives you a repeatable process to turn your ideas into income over and over again.
And because I want you to win, I’ll say it plainly: stop trying to build a six-figure business off Post-It notes and panic. Get systems that honor your future.
Build an Audience Before You Need It
Digital success isn’t built in silence. You don’t have to be loud, but you do have to be visible.
Start where you are. Share tips on TikTok, post micro-lessons on Instagram, write short blog posts that help people solve small problems. Every time you teach, you build trust. Every time you show up, you collect digital equity.
Here’s a rhythm I personally love:
Mondays: Motivation – Share your story.
Wednesdays: Wisdom – Teach something simple.
Fridays: Invitation – Invite people to your product or email list.
Consistency, not perfection, builds momentum. The woman you admire is just a woman who refused to stop showing up.
Multiply Your Impact
Once your first product sells, don’t stop.
Let’s say you created a “Meal Prep Planner.” You can now:
Turn it into a video mini-course teaching meal-planning for beginners.
Bundle it with a grocery list template for busy moms.
Create a “Healthy Habits Challenge” that builds community around your product.
Every digital product becomes a seed for another. And seeds multiply.
Shifting Your Mindset
I would be doing you a disservice if I only talked strategy. Because behind every digital product is a mindset shift waiting to happen.
You will doubt yourself. You will compare your beginning to someone else’s middle. You will overthink, delay, and tell yourself you’re not ready.
Do it anyway.
Your obedience to that inner nudge could be the very thing that breaks a generational cycle of lack. Someone’s breakthrough is waiting on your boldness.
You have already survived enough storms to build a business that thrives in any economy. Your story, your wisdom, and your resilience are not random, they are revenue when packaged with intention.
Action Plan: Turning Your Skills into a Digital Product

That’s it. Seven steps between your skill and your first digital sale.
You’re Not Too Late, You’re Right on Time
Maybe you’ve been laid off, burned out, or starting over in a season that feels uncertain. But uncertainty is the perfect soil for reinvention.
The world is shifting, and digital products are one of the most accessible, low-risk, high-reward paths to freedom. You don’t need investors or permission, just clarity, strategy, and execution.
And that’s exactly what the Digital Product Planner gives you.
So tonight, instead of scrolling in frustration, pour some tea, open your Digital Product Planner, and start mapping your first product.

You are not just surviving, you’re building something Better Than Surviving.
Now go create it.
I believe in YOU!
