About this course

Learn to find a problem Nigerians already pay to solve, validate it before you build, and turn it into an ebook, template pack, or mini-course using free tools like Google Docs and Canva. Then price it honestly in naira, sell it on Selar, Paystack, and WhatsApp, and grow one product into a small catalogue. No passive-income hype — just the real process and the real numbers.

A digital product is anything you create once and deliver as a file or a link: an ebook, a CV template, a budget spreadsheet, a set of Instagram design templates, a recorded mini-course. The magic is in the economics — pay the creation cost once, then every sale after that is nearly all margin.
