The BEST Platform To Sell Digital Products For Beginners

About this video

The creator argues Amazon KDP is the best platform for beginners selling digital products, especially ebooks, ahead of Gumroad, Payhip, Stan Store or a self-built website. His criteria are easy setup, built-in buyer traffic, ability to scale without per-product penalties, and low fees with simple payouts. He says KDP meets them because there is no sign-up or monthly fee, Amazon only takes a cut after a sale, books are print-on-demand so there is no inventory or shipping to handle, and Amazon supplies millions of existing shoppers plus fulfilment and customer service. The main drawback he acknowledges is royalties paid monthly with a 60-day delay, so new sellers wait about two months for first payment; he adds that sellers outside the US can use services like Wise or Payoneer if they cannot link a local bank. He distinguishes three book types: low-content books such as journals, planners and log books, which are easiest for learning the model; text-based non-fiction, fiction and children’s books, which can be written, made with AI help or ghostwritten and extended into ebook, paperback and audiobook formats; and design-based books such as word search, Sudoku and colouring books, which can be made with puzzle software or outsourced designers. Throughout he cites examples with daily royalty estimates from BookBeam — for instance the creator claims one simple blank journal makes about $1,000 a day and one colouring book $599-$951 a day — while explicitly noting these are examples, not guarantees. He closes by saying sellers can later add their own website, but should start where the traffic already exists.

Key takeaways

• Choose a platform with built-in traffic for a first digital product; Gumroad, Payhip and own websites require you to bring every buyer yourself
• KDP is free to join with no monthly fee, print-on-demand fulfilment, and Amazon handling printing, shipping and customer service
• Budget for KDP’s 60-day royalty delay — income is monthly after that initial wait, so early sales do not mean early cash
• Start with low-content books to learn publishing, then consider text-based books for multi-format income or design-based puzzle and colouring books
• All daily earnings figures in the video are the creator’s BookBeam-based claims about other sellers’ books, not typical or guaranteed results
