What are digital products? As Roman Pichler states, “A product is an entity that creates specific value for a group of people, the customers, and users, and for the organization that develops and provides it.”

Digital products can be podcasts, resumes, video templates, online courses, or e-books. Digital products are also a solid business idea. Unlike others on this list, they aren't tangible.
