The narrator shares how he made over $4 million selling a digital product. He explains how in 2008 he hosted a teleseminar teaching affiliate marketing tips. At the end, his friend suggested he sell a product to the audience. So he quickly created a video course and PDF book and made it available for $97. He instantly started getting orders and realized he could make $1 million per year by selling just 27 copies per day of a $97 digital product.

He gives examples of types of digital products: ebooks, online courses, software, audio, video, images, themes, tools and subscriptions. He claims niche products focused on productivity, budgeting or money-making tend to sell well. He also suggests reviewing existing products, domain names and Pinterest for niche ideas.
To monetize, he recommends selling on your own site, online course platforms, Etsy and niche blogs.

The narrator analyzes The Verge's high rankings for printer keywords. He notes they have good on-page optimization and some user-generated content, but their domain strength is the key advantage allowing fast rankings.
