Put it on evergreen
|
Hi Reader, Over the last few weeks, I've been sharing my tips for building a successful and profitable digital product business. So far we've covered the first 3 steps: Step #1 - Do proper market research Step #2 - Start small... but plan big! This week, let's look at Step #4... Step #4 - Put it on evergreenThe launch problemRight back at the start of this series I talked about how digital products can be a huge productivity booster. But there’s a problem... If you don’t launch, nobody buys. Because people need deadlines. They need reasons to act now instead of “someday”. Especially when it comes to digital products. So you end up stuck in a cycle: Launch… sell… stop… launch again… sell… stop… And suddenly your “productivity hack” starts feeling like a constant hustle. So how do we solve this?You solve this by building evergreen funnels. This is where your product is available to buy all the time. No waiting for your next launch. No starting from scratch every time. Instead, people are guided through your system automatically. They sign up for your freebie… They are then introduced to your paid offer in a structured way. And finally they are presented with their own unique discount and deadline. This is where your product ladder starts to work on autopilot. A simple way to do itThere are lots of ways to build evergreen funnels… (Some of them get very complicated, very quickly.) But one of the simplest is a tripwire funnel. It’s powerful because it keeps things simple… But still turns new subscribers into paying customers quickly. Here’s how it works:
That’s it. No big tech setup. No complex automation. Just a simple system that turns attention into revenue. And the best part? You can build a basic version of this in less than a day. And once it's built, every new subscriber will see your tripwire and get a chance to buy your product with a deadline that's unique to them! Get this right and it's almost like printing money! Why this mattersThis is what makes digital products feel like a real productivity asset. Because you’re no longer relying on constant launches to generate income. You’ve built something that works in the background… Even while you’re doing everything else in your business. Next week…We’ll look at the final step: Get creative with your traffic (quality > quantity). Because even the best product + best funnel still needs the right people coming into it. Happy digital product selling! Eb 😊 P.S. Inside the Digital Product Success Academy, I show you exactly how to build simple evergreen funnels (including tripwires and email sequences), so your digital products can sell consistently without constant launching.

Hi Reader, As you probably know, if you’ve been here for a while, I started a brand new blog in 2026 called The Spiritual Habits Project. (A huge thank you to all of you who have visited it, shared it, signed up for my newsletter or followed me on Instagram!) It’s crazy to think that my new blog wasn’t even on my radar this time last year… (Missed the dramatic story of how TSHP came about?...
Hi Reader, What if I told you that you don't need a huge email list to have a successful course launch? One of my DPSA members, Kim, had just reached 100 email subscribers at the end of June. A couple of months later, she launched her first signature course… …and enrolled 3 students at $497 each. That's $1,491 from her very first course launch! But actually, the money isn't the most interesting part of this story. What I really love about Kim's story is how she got there. Because this wasn't...
Hi Reader, Have you ever felt like your email list is just… sitting there? You’re sending emails, showing up for your audience, doing all the “right” things – but it doesn’t actually make you any money… It feels frustrating. And honestly? It’s one of the biggest reasons people don’t really prioritize email marketing – it feels like a huge time suck, with very little reward. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. In fact, a while back, when I surveyed this list about your biggest email...
