How do you sell a low cost digital download in a low effort way? I've built my business selling consulting, speaking and a membership. The path to selling a $5 download has always stumped me.
But no more will I fear the low cost offer! Together, we're embarking on a series on "Selling digital products" where I will review, test and build better mechanics for selling one of my tools.
This is the first episode in the series and it covers what I've learned selling my Stay Booked Roadmap (a digital workbook).
I go through the timeline of sales, what I tried and what worked that I'm going to build on for the future.

Thinking about making your service a subscription?
Subscriptions are an exciting business model, but it’s still pretty new for service providers. Designers, copywriters—even lawyers are rethinking the idea of a retainer and creating memberships and communities instead.
This episode is an interview with Chris Valdheims, co-founder of Counsel for Creators, not your typical law firm. Counsel for Creators focuses entirely on creative businesses.
They’ve created a legal subscription service that makes their work super accessible to even creatives just starting out. They pair that with packaged services like trademarks and business formation.
You’ll love this episode if:
1) You’re thinking of launching a membership
2) You are testing out different business models
3) You’re scaling beyond yourself
