👉🏾 If you're ready to go deeper, don't miss The Ultimate Guide to Selling Digital Products — it breaks down the tools, platforms, and profit strategies you need to scale beyond your first $100.
Step 1: Start With What You Know (or Already Made)
Before you even touch Beacons, ask yourself: What have people always come to me for? Sis, that Canva resume you helped your cousin with? That's a digital product. The meal plan you made when you started eating healthier? Digital product.
Don't overthink it. Look at what's sitting in your Google Drive, your Notes app, or your brain and ask, would someone pay $7 to $27 for this if it saved them hours of time or stress?
✅ Bonus Tip: If you've got PLR or MRR products just chillin' in a folder, remix it with your own flavor and boom a branded product ready to sell.
Step 2: Build a Free Digital Storefront with Beacons.ai
Now, here's where the magic happens.
Beacons.ai is like the Swiss Army knife for digital entrepreneurs. Not only can you create a mobile-first mini website that links to all your content, but you can also host and sell digital products directly through your Beacons store.
Features you'll love:
- Instant checkout (no fancy cart needed)
- Email capture (grow that list)
- Connect to Stripe or PayPal easily
- Link it on your IG, Threads, TikTok bio, and everywhere else
It's optimized for mobile so you're not losing sales from folks browsing while they're in bed, at brunch, or bored at work.
Step 3: Price Like a Boss, Not a Beggar
Let me say this with love: stop underpricing your brilliance.
A common mistake is thinking you have to sell your eBook for $5 just to make a sale. No ma'am. If your digital product solves a problem, saves time, or teaches something valuable, charge accordingly. This was a lesson I learned the hardway. Do not shortchange you brilliance.
Here's a quick cheat code:
- Lead magnet (freebie) → grows your email list
- Low-ticket ($7–$27) → templates, mini eBooks, checklists
- Mid-ticket ($47–$97) → digital bundles, small workshops
- Premium ($111–$497+) → full courses, coaching packages, memberships
Start with one product at a $27 price point and sell it to 37 people = $999.
That's your rent, car note, or round-trip ticket to Jamaica.
💡 Pro Tip: Set up your sales funnel from day one and allow it to do the heavy lifting for you.
Step 4: Drive Traffic Without Losing Your Mind
You don't need 10,000 followers to make $1,000. You need the right 100 people who are tired, stressed, or stuck — and your product is the key.
Use what you've got:
- Instagram Stories + Link in Bio
- Pinterest Pins with keywords
- Threads with value nuggets + product links
- Email list: even if it's 10 people — start now.
🔥 Pro Tip: Record a 60-second video of how your digital product helps people and post it across your socials with your Beacons link.

- Freebie First: Offer a free guide, checklist, or workbook in exchange for an email address.

- Low-Ticket Offer: Start with something $7–$27 to build trust. You're not just selling — you're showing them you solve real problems.
- Upsell or Bundle: Got more to offer? Hit them with a one-time offer, a bundle, or a link to join your signature program (like Digital Hustle 101 👀).
- Auto-Delivery: Upload your files once, and Beacons delivers the product instantly after purchase — no more manual emailing or DM chaos.
