After 20 years of selling consulting, physical stuff, and digital products, one thing stands out: digital wins. Selling bits instead of atoms changes the entire game.
Why Digital Dominates
- Zero inventory headaches
- Infinite scalability (sell once, deliver forever)
- Instantly global without shipping hassles
- Higher margins from lower costs
- Easy to iterate, update, and improve
Examples of Digital Done Right
- Gumroad creators selling $10 guides to 10,000 people
- SaaS companies like Notion turning software into $10B valuation
- Courses on Teachable generating $100K+ launches
- Newsletters charging $10/month and scaling to thousands of subscribers
Digital isn’t just easier to sell—it’s easier to win big.
