The Best (and Worst) Places to Sell Digital Products in 2025: What Coaches and Consultants Need to Know

Why Selling Digital Products Feels Overwhelming

If you’ve ever thought about selling digital products — templates, guides, scripts, mini-courses — you’ve probably asked yourself: Where do I even sell these?

The truth is, most new coaches and consultants waste time on the wrong platforms. They get stuck with complicated tech, outdated strategies, or marketplaces like Etsy that don’t actually support their growth.

But here’s the good news: You don’t need a website, you don’t need to be a tech wizard, and you definitely don’t need Etsy to start building passive income streams with digital products.

In this post, I’ll walk you through:

• The best (and worst) places to sell digital products in 2025.

• How to sell without a course or complicated setup.

• 17 digital product tips that actually work right now.

• The fastest way to monetize digital products as a coach or consultant.

Let’s dive in.

Why Etsy Isn’t the Best Place for Coaches to Sell Digital Products

Etsy is a well-known marketplace, but here’s the truth: it’s oversaturated, takes heavy fees, and often buries your products under thousands of competitors.

Why Etsy might not work for you:

• You’re competing on price, not transformation.

• Their audience is primarily shopping for printables and crafts, not coaching resources or professional scripts.

• You don’t own your customer list (no email collection = no long-term relationship).

Instead of chasing pennies on Etsy, coaches and consultants need platforms that give them control, branding, and the ability to own their audience.

How to Sell Digital Products Without a Course (or Website)

Here’s the myth: to sell digital products, you need a polished course or custom website. Nope. In 2025, platforms make it easier than ever.

Best alternatives for selling digital products without a course:

1. Superprofile – Great for beginners. Offers link-in-bio style setup, order bumps, upsells, and auto-DMs for social.

2. Beacons – Similar to Superprofile but with stronger email flow integration. Perfect if you want simple funnels and automated delivery.

3. Stan Store – Sleek design, trusted by influencers. Higher cost, but excellent for packaging digital offers.

👉 With these tools, you can upload a PDF, Notion template, or guide, connect your payment processor, and start selling the same day.

Example: If you’re selling a Client Closing Script Pack, you don’t need a course. You need a simple landing page with an order button, instant download, and email follow-up.

Conclusion: Your Digital Product Journey Starts Simple

Selling digital products doesn’t have to feel complicated. You don’t need Etsy, a fancy website, or even a full course. What you need is clarity:

• Start with one simple product.

• Use beginner-friendly platforms.

• Drive traffic consistently with Pinterest.

• Build your email list with every download.

The best part? Once your system is in place, your digital products can work for you on autopilot.
