Selling digital products as a side business has a lot of advantages, including low overhead. Etsy is home to one of the biggest selling platforms to sell digital products or handmade products, with little costs involved, Etsy would be my first choice, or other options include Amazon or Shopify.

To design your products a great platform to use is Canva, you can create anything you need in Canva from PDFs, social media posts resumes, webinars, and more. Canva is free to use and is very possible to create your designs with the free version or you can upgrade to the Pro service which gives you more selection.

If you are going to sell products, I suggest the Canva Pro as it gives you much more features to share with your buyers.
