5 Digital Products That Sell Themselves and How You Can Make Them with AI

Digital products are booming in 2025, and for good reason. The global market is exploding. Creators have already sold over $1 billion worth of digital goods on one platform alone, with projections hitting $15 billion by 2027. Why the craze? In four words: low-effort, high-reward. You create something once and sell it over and over, with no inventory or shipping hassles. If you’re looking to make money with AI and earn passive income with digital products, now is the perfect time.

AI tools for creators like ChatGPT, Canva, and no-code app builders have demolished the old barriers to entry. You don’t need to be a pro coder or designer to launch a product anymore. AI can help you brainstorm, build, and beautify your product in a flash.

In this post, we’ll walk through five of the best digital products you can create and sell online right now, each with practical steps on how to do it using AI. From ebooks to mobile apps, AI agents to websites and content monetization, these strategies are up-to-date, actionable, and beginner-friendly. Let’s dive in!

E-books remain one of the easiest digital products to start with. With AI assistance, you can go from idea to published e-book in a day. In fact, some creators note that if you write your ebook with AI, it can be done in less than one day!

• Brainstorm & Outline: Use ChatGPT to brainstorm profitable e-book topics or niches. Prompt: “Outline an e-book about [your topic]”.
• Write the content with AI: Expand each chapter with prompts like “Write a detailed section about [chapter topic]”. Refine and add your own examples.
• Design with Canva: Use templates, create a strong cover, format for readability, and add visuals or AI-generated illustrations if needed.
• Publish and sell: Export as PDF/ePub and sell via Amazon KDP, your own site, or marketplaces like Gumroad/Etsy. Promote with teasers and snippets.

Pro tip: Ask ChatGPT to write your e-book description, landing page copy, and social captions.

2. Mobile Apps: ChatGPT-Assisted Development and Publishing on Google Play

Mobile apps are a high-reward digital product. Traditionally, building an app was for engineers only—but not anymore. With ChatGPT and no-code tools, you can develop a simple app and publish it on app stores.

• Ideation with AI: Ask ChatGPT for app ideas in your niche and validate by browsing Google Play / App Store.
• Build with no-code / low-code: Use tools like Make.com, Thunkable, Adalo, Glide, Bubble, etc. Ask ChatGPT for logic, formulas, and code snippets.
• UI/UX design: Use templates and tools like Canva/Uizard for icons, layouts, and simple wireframes.
• Testing: Run on devices, get feedback, and use ChatGPT for a testing checklist.
• Publishing & monetizing: Google Play developer account ($25 one-time) + monetization (paid, freemium, ads).

Businesses are eager to automate and streamline tasks using AI. This creates a golden opportunity: you can develop and sell AI agents or chatbots tailored to business needs.

• Identify a use case: customer support, lead generation, shopping assistants, internal HR Q&A bots, scheduling assistants, etc.
• Choose tools: no-code bot builders with AI integrations, Make/Zapier + ChatGPT, or frameworks like LangChain if you code.
• Train/configure: define role, provide business context (FAQs/knowledge base), create example Q&A with ChatGPT.
• Test scenarios: simulate real requests and refine prompts/training data for accuracy and helpfulness.
• Sell: setup fees + maintenance, subscriptions, templates, niche marketplace listings.

4. SEO-Optimized Websites: Launch AI-Built Websites in Minutes (Bolt.new & More)

Websites are digital real estate—and creating SEO-optimized sites has never been easier thanks to AI. Whether it’s a niche content site, portfolio, or small business site, you can build fast and publish even faster.

• AI-powered site builders: use AI-first tools and modern builders to spin up sites quickly.
• Generate SEO content with ChatGPT: draft posts around keywords, then edit for accuracy, quality, and usefulness.

(Check out the full video to see a live example of creating and monetizing a video summary.)

Here’s an unconventional but powerful strategy: use AI to turn existing content (YouTube videos, trending articles) into monetized summaries and blog posts. Many people want quick takeaways without watching 15–20 minutes of video.

• Summarize with AI: paste transcripts into ChatGPT and ask for structured summaries.
• Use tools like Sider AI: browser extensions can pull transcripts and generate summaries quickly.
• Build affiliate articles: add helpful, relevant affiliate links where they fit naturally.
