Subscribers, Followers, or Digital Products

No doubt about it, in today’s digital world, many people measure the level of success by the number of subscribers or followers that creators have. But in a real sense, the real creators who are making real money are the ones with fewer subscribers or followers but who really understand the problems their followers are facing, and can solve them through digital products.

Do you think that everybody will get thousands or millions of followers just like Mr Beast? No! Such is an illusion, then, why waste your time dreaming on when you will get to a certain number of followers before you start making money online, while others are busy cashing in with this secret I’m about to share with you.

What is that secret? The secret is DIGITAL PRODUCT, the money printing machine that makes you money while you sleep, whether with thousands or hundreds of followers, it does not matter.

First, let’s define what digital products are in layman’s language for better understanding. No fluff here, no grammar.
Digital product simply means the same services or products you sell in the physical world, put in digital form and sold many times to your audience without duplicating the original package.

What do I mean by this? I mean that you can only create a digital product once and sell millions of copies of the same copy. Unlike physical products or services, which you can only sell once they are produced and packaged.

For example, a person who is producing soap can only sell the product whenever he or she produces it. But the same soap, if put in a digital form, can sell millions of times without producing any digital product again. That is just the greatest difference between physical and digital products.

Now, which one do you prefer? I know you will have the correct answer by now. I will definitely pick DIGITAL PRODUCTS. I would like to create it once and sell a million times. That is a smart strategy.

LET’S EXAMINE THE SUBSCRIBERS/FOLLOWERS AND DIGITAL PRODUCTS STRATEGICALLY.

1) The Subscriber Model: Useful but Limited

Subscribers can generate income through such as YouTube ads, Memberships, Patreon-style subscriptions, affiliate links, and brand sponsorships
These can pay well — sometimes extremely well.

But here’s the problem: You do not control the platform. Revenue fluctuates. Sponsors can leave. Ad rates change. Algorithm reach drops. So, subscribers give leverage, but they do not guarantee stability.

2) Digital Products: The Ownership Model

Now let’s talk about digital products.
Digital products include: E-books, Templates, Online courses, Design assets, Software, Planners, and Digital tools.

When a creator builds a digital product, something changes fundamentally:

  • They move from being paid for attention to being paid for value. And that is the greatest shift.

Why Digital Products Build Real Wealth
1) It’s because you are the owner of the Asset
A digital product is intellectual property, which means:
(i) You create it once.
(ii) You sell it repeatedly.
(iii) There is no inventory.
(iv) There is no shipping.
(v) There is no physical limitation.
It scales.

2) Higher Profit Margins
Once created, the cost of selling one more copy is almost zero.
That means:
(i) 70%–95% margins are possible.
(ii) Revenue compounds faster.
(iii) Profit stays with the creator.

3) You Control Pricing
With subscribers, platforms set the rules, but with digital products:
(i) You choose the price.
(ii) You create bundles.
(iii) You run promotions.
(iv) You test offers.
(v) You control your income ceiling.

4) Small Audience, Big Income
And this last benefit is where it gets awesome, and this is something most people don’t realise:
A creator with 3,000 loyal followers selling a $29 product
can earn more than someone with 100,000 followers, earning ad revenue.

Why?
(i) Because digital products convert trust into direct value.
(ii) You don’t need millions.
(iii) You need the right audience.

So What Actually Makes Creators Rich?
Let’s be clear:
Subscribers build visibility.
Followers build influence.
Digital products build wealth.

The richest creators usually combine all three — but digital products are the engine.
Followers are attention.
Digital products are owned.
And ownership is what builds long-term financial independence.

The Real Shift: From Content Creator to Product Creator
Many creators focus only on producing content. But they forget that content without a product is like marketing without a store.

Look at what smart creators do:
(i) They build an audience.
(ii) Understand their audience’s problems.
(iii) Create a digital product that solves those problems.
(iv) Sell directly.
That is the formula.

Final Thought
If you had to choose:
Would you rather have 100,000 followers and no product? Or
5,000 loyal followers and a high-converting digital product?

The answer reveals everything. Subscribers and followers create reach.
Digital products create freedom. And in the long run, freedom is what makes creators truly rich.
