How Influencers Sell Digital Products to Followers
Brand deals are unpredictable. Digital products let you monetize your audience on your terms—with income you control and products you believe in.
Why Influencers Are Launching Products
Sponsored posts pay once. Digital products pay forever. While brand deals require constant negotiation and content obligations, a digital product you create once continues selling while you sleep.
Your followers trust your recommendations. They engage with your content daily. Many would happily buy something from you—if you offered it.
Revenue Comparison
One sponsored post: $200-2,000 (depending on following). One digital product at $29 sold to 1% of 10K followers: $2,900—and it keeps selling.

Finding Your Product Idea
Check Your DMs
What do followers ask you constantly? "Where did you get that?" "How do you do your makeup?" "What's your routine?" Those questions are product ideas.
Look at Your Top Content
Your highest-engagement posts reveal what your audience values most. Create products that expand on those topics.
What Would You Buy?
If someone in your niche offered a product, what would make you buy immediately? Create that for your followers.
Ask Directly
Poll your Stories: "Would you buy a guide on X?" "Which would you prefer: A or B?" Your audience will tell you what they want.
Pricing for Influencer Products
Pricing Strategy
Start with a lower-priced product ($19-29) to test demand and build trust. Once you have buyers and testimonials, launch higher-priced offerings.
Launching to Your Audience
- Tease before launch: Share snippets, behind-the-scenes of creation, and hints about what's coming. Build anticipation.
- Use Stories heavily: Instagram/TikTok Stories are perfect for launches. Show the product, explain benefits, link directly to purchase.
- Offer launch pricing: "First 48 hours at $19, then $29" creates urgency and rewards your most engaged followers.
- Share buyer feedback: Repost reviews and DMs from happy customers. Social proof drives more sales.
Keep It Simple
You don't need a website, a shopping cart, or complex tech. Upload your product to Rovo, get a link, drop it in your bio or Stories. That's the entire tech stack.
Your advantage is your audience's trust—you've already done the hard work of building it. Now package what you know and offer it to the followers who've been asking for it.
