Quick answer
Life coaches can sell 15 kinds of digital product: workbooks, templates, assessments, mini-courses, guided meditations, email courses, and more. You are usually already sitting on several, in the frameworks and worksheets you share with clients. Once a catalog matures, digital products add roughly $500 to $3,000 per month in revenue that sells without your time.
You're already sitting on 5 products. You just haven't packaged them yet.
Every time you give a client a framework, walk them through an exercise, or share a worksheet you made in Google Docs, you're creating something other people would pay for. The difference between "something I share with clients" and "a digital product that earns money while I sleep" is packaging, pricing, and a place to sell it.
Digital products solve the biggest constraint in a coaching business: your time. There are only so many hours you can coach in a week (15 to 25 before burnout). But a workbook, a template, or a mini-course sells whether you're coaching, sleeping, or on vacation. For most coaches, digital products add $500 to $3,000 per month in revenue once the product catalog matures.
This guide covers 15 digital product ideas with specific pricing for each, a step-by-step process for creating your first product this weekend, pricing strategy for your catalog, and where to sell.

FAQ
Why digital products change the math
Coaching income has a ceiling. At $150 per session and 20 sessions per week, you top out at $3,000 per week, or about $144,000 per year. That's excellent income, but you're trading every dollar for an hour of your time. Take a week off and your revenue drops to zero.
Digital products break that equation in three ways.
Revenue without your time. A $27 workbook sells whether you're coaching, eating dinner, or on a beach. One product, sold 100 times, generates $2,700 with zero additional time after creation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What digital products can a life coach sell?+
Life coaches sell workbooks, worksheets, templates, self-assessments, mini-courses, email courses, guided meditations, and journaling programs. Most of these come straight from the frameworks and exercises you already use with clients. The difference between something you share and a product that earns is packaging, pricing, and a place to sell it.
How much money can a life coach make from digital products?+
For most coaches, digital products add $500 to $3,000 per month once the catalog matures. They solve the biggest constraint in a coaching business, which is time: you can only coach 15 to 25 hours a week, but a workbook or mini-course sells whether you are coaching, sleeping, or on vacation.
What digital product should a new coach create first?+
Start with something you have already built for clients, like a worksheet or a simple framework, and package it as a paid download you can create in a weekend. A low-priced first product validates demand without a big time investment, then you expand the catalog from there.
How do digital products fit alongside coaching sessions?+
They complement each other. Sessions are your high-value, time-bound income; digital products are scalable income that sells on repeat. A low-cost product can also be an entry point that introduces someone to your work before they book a full-price session.
Scale beyond 1:1. You can only coach 20 people in a week. You can sell a digital product to 200 people in a week. The effort to serve customer #1 and customer #200 is the same: zero, because the product delivers itself.
Lead magnets that feed your 1:1 practice. This is the part most coaches miss. A free digital product (a self-assessment quiz, a checklist, a short guide) builds your email list. That email list nurtures prospects who eventually book 1:1 coaching. The product isn't just revenue; it's the top of your client acquisition funnel.
The math that matters: coaching income is linear (more hours = more money). Digital product income is exponential (same product x more buyers = more money with no additional time). A coaching business with both has no ceiling.
The 15 digital products
Each product below includes what it is, a realistic price range, who buys it, and what makes a good version stand out. These are organized from simplest to create (start here) to most complex (build up to these).
1. Coaching workbooks ($27 to $97)
A PDF workbook that walks clients through a specific transformation: career clarity, confidence building, goal setting, relationship assessment. 20 to 40 pages of prompts, exercises, and frameworks.
Who buys it: People who want structured self-coaching or who are considering hiring a coach and want to start the work on their own.
What makes it great: Specific, not generic. "The 30-Day Career Pivot Workbook" sells better than "Personal Growth Workbook." Include real examples, not just blank fill-in-the-blank pages.
Create it with: Canva (free templates), Google Docs, or a simple design tool. A workbook is text-heavy, so design complexity is low.
2. Goal-setting planners ($17 to $47)
A structured planner (PDF or printable) that guides the user through setting, tracking, and reviewing goals. Quarterly, monthly, or annual formats.
Who buys it: Achievers who love structure. Overlaps with your 1:1 clients but also attracts people who prefer self-guided tools.
What makes it great: A framework, not just blank pages. The difference between a good planner and a bad one is the coaching prompts embedded in each section. "What will you say no to this quarter?" is more useful than a blank box labeled "Q1 Goals."
3. Self-assessment quizzes ($0 to $27)
An assessment tool that helps someone evaluate where they are: the Wheel of Life, a readiness assessment, a communication style quiz, a burnout risk check.
Who buys it: People in the "am I ready?" or "what's wrong?" stage. Often the first touchpoint before they consider coaching.
What makes it great: Results that feel personalized and actionable. A quiz that tells someone "you scored 6/10 on career fulfillment" is weak. A quiz that tells them "your score suggests you're in the exploration phase, and here are the 3 questions to answer before making a move" is powerful.
Pro tip: Offer the quiz for free as a lead magnet. It builds your email list and pre-qualifies coaching prospects. Charge for the detailed report version.
4. Session prep worksheets ($9 to $19)
A 2 to 4 page worksheet clients complete before each coaching session. Covers what happened since the last session, what they want to work on, and what commitments they made.
Who buys it: Other coaches. This is a B2B product. Coaches buy session prep tools to use with their own clients.
What makes it great: Saves the coach the first 10 minutes of every session by getting the client focused before they arrive. Include versions for different session types (initial intake, regular session, final review).
5. eBooks and guides ($19 to $97)
A longer-form written product (30 to 80 pages) on a specific topic. "The Mid-Career Pivot Playbook," "Rebuilding After Divorce: A 90-Day Guide," "The Introvert's Guide to Networking."
Who buys it: People deep into researching a specific problem. Higher commitment than a workbook, higher perceived value.
What makes it great: Depth and specificity. A $47 eBook should teach the reader something they couldn't learn from a blog post. Include case studies, frameworks, and action plans.
6. Email courses and challenges ($0 to $47)
A structured email sequence delivered over 5 to 14 days. "5-Day Confidence Reset," "7-Day Morning Routine Challenge," "10 Days to Clarity on Your Next Career Move."
Who buys it: People who want quick wins and daily accountability. The time-bound format creates urgency and completion momentum.
What makes it great: Short daily emails (300 to 500 words) with one action item each. The constraint forces you to be specific and actionable.
Pro tip: Offer a free version as a list builder, then sell the premium version with bonus resources, audio recordings, or a private community. Free challenges convert 5 to 15 percent of participants into paid products or discovery calls.
7. Meditation and visualization audio recordings ($9 to $29)
Guided meditations, visualization exercises, or breathing practices recorded as MP3 files. 10 to 30 minutes each, sold individually or as packs of 5 to 10.
Who buys it: Clients in wellness, stress management, mindset, or personal growth niches. Also useful as value-adds for existing coaching clients.
What makes it great: Your voice and your specific approach. Generic meditation recordings are everywhere for free. Yours should tie directly to your coaching methodology. A career coach's "Pre-Interview Visualization" is unique.
Create it with: Your phone, a quiet room, and a $50 USB microphone. Edit with Audacity (free). No studio required.
8. Template bundles ($17 to $67)
Collections of templates your clients use between sessions. Journal prompt sets, affirmation card decks, reflection worksheets, goal-tracking spreadsheets, gratitude logs.
Who buys it: Active coaching clients who want more structure, plus self-guided learners who want tools without committing to full coaching.
What makes it great: Bundles feel like high value because of quantity. "52 Weekly Reflection Prompts" (one per week for a year) sounds comprehensive even though each prompt takes 30 seconds to write.
On Talkspresso, you can sell digital products right alongside your coaching sessions. Upload a PDF, set a price, and your clients see everything on one page. No separate Gumroad account, no second checkout flow.
9. Video mini-courses ($47 to $297)
A structured video course on a specific topic. 5 to 12 lessons, 10 to 20 minutes each. "Master Your Discovery Calls," "Build a Daily Routine That Sticks," "Navigate Your First 90 Days in a New Role."
Who buys it: People who learn better from video than reading, and who want more depth than a workbook but less commitment than 1:1 coaching.
What makes it great: Production value matters less than content quality. A well-structured course recorded on your phone with decent lighting and audio outperforms a polished but generic course. Keep lessons under 20 minutes and include a downloadable worksheet for each.
Note: This is the most complex product on the list. Start with simpler products (workbooks, templates) before building a course.
10. Habit trackers ($7 to $17)
A simple tracking tool (PDF or spreadsheet) for building or breaking a specific habit. 30-day, 60-day, or 90-day formats.
Who buys it: Health, wellness, and productivity coaching clients. High volume, low price, easy impulse buy.
What makes it great: Specificity. "30-Day Morning Routine Tracker" with pre-filled habit categories is better than a blank grid. Include coaching prompts for weekly check-ins.
11. Swipe files ($19 to $47)
Ready-to-use scripts, emails, and conversation templates. "10 Discovery Call Scripts for Coaches," "Email Templates for Client Follow-Up," "Difficult Conversation Scripts for Couples."
Who buys it: Other coaches (B2B) or people in your niche who need words for specific situations (job seekers, people having difficult conversations, etc.).
What makes it great: Specificity and variety. Include 8 to 15 variations so buyers can pick the one that fits their style. Add coaching notes explaining when to use each script and how to adapt it.
12. Resource libraries ($0 to $19)
A curated collection of books, tools, apps, podcasts, and links on a specific topic. "The Career Changer's Resource Library: 50 Books, Tools, and Communities."
Who buys it: People early in their exploration of a topic. This works well as a free lead magnet or as a low-price impulse buy.
What makes it great: Curation and commentary. Anyone can Google a list of books. Your value is telling people which 10 books to actually read (out of 200), why, and in what order. Add a one-paragraph review for each recommendation.
13. Wheel of Life assessment tool ($0 to $27)
The classic coaching tool, packaged as a self-guided assessment. Includes the assessment, scoring guide, reflection prompts, and an action-planning section.
Who buys it: People curious about coaching who aren't ready to book a session. Also used by other coaches with their own clients.
What makes it great: Add depth beyond the basic wheel. Include a section that helps the user prioritize which area to focus on first, with specific next steps for each category. The free version is the assessment. The paid version includes the interpretation guide and action plan.
14. Vision board kits ($17 to $37)
A digital kit with prompts, templates, guided questions, and instructions for creating a vision board. Can include Canva templates, printable image packs, or a step-by-step guided process.
Who buys it: Goal-oriented clients in personal growth, career, and wellness niches. Strong seasonal demand (January, September).
What makes it great: Go beyond "cut pictures from magazines." Include a guided visioning process: reflection questions that help users clarify what they actually want before they start building the board. The prompts are the product, not the images.
15. Coaching frameworks and models ($47 to $197)
Your proprietary coaching methodology, packaged for other coaches to license and use with their clients. Includes the framework, facilitator guide, client materials, and usage guidelines.
Who buys it: Other coaches (B2B). This is an advanced product that requires an established methodology and reputation.
What makes it great: Genuine intellectual property. A framework you've developed, tested with clients, and refined over time. Include case studies showing how the framework produced results. Price at the high end because buyers are using it to generate revenue with their own clients.
This is the most lucrative product type on the list per unit, but it requires the most development time and the most established reputation to sell. Build this after you've coached 50+ clients and your framework has been tested.

How to create your first digital product (this weekend)
You don't need weeks of preparation. Your first digital product should take one weekend to create. Here's the process.
Step 1: pick a problem your clients ask about repeatedly
Think about the questions you answer in every discovery call or the exercises you walk every client through. "How do I figure out what I really want?" "How do I build a morning routine?" "How do I prepare for a difficult conversation?"
That repeated question is your product. You've already taught it dozens of times. Now you're packaging it.
Step 2: outline it in 30 minutes
Open a blank document. Write the title. List 5 to 8 sections that take someone from "confused about this problem" to "I have a plan." Each section is a heading with 3 to 5 bullet points underneath.
Don't write the full content yet. Just the skeleton. If you can't outline it in 30 minutes, the scope is too big. Narrow it down.
Step 3: build it with free tools
For PDF products (workbooks, planners, guides, templates): Use Canva. Pick a simple template, replace the placeholder text with your content, add your branding (logo, colors), and export as a PDF.
For spreadsheet products (trackers, calculators): Use Google Sheets. Build the tracker, add coaching prompts in column headers, lock the template cells, and share a "make a copy" link.
For audio products (meditations, recordings): Use your phone in a quiet room. Record in one take. Edit with Audacity (free). Export as MP3.
For email courses: Set up the sequence in MailerLite or ConvertKit (free tiers). Write 5 to 7 short emails (300 to 500 words each). Schedule them to send daily.
Time budget: 4 to 6 hours total for a workbook or template bundle. Your first product won't be perfect. It doesn't need to be. It needs to be useful.
Step 4: upload and price it
Upload the product to your selling platform. Write a one-paragraph description that names the problem, what the product delivers, and what format it's in. Set a price (see the next section). Publish.
Your first sale might happen in a day. It might take a week. But until the product exists and is listed, it can't sell at all.
Pricing your digital products
Free vs paid: the ascension model
The most effective digital product strategy uses an ascension model: free products at the top of the funnel that pull people in, low-priced products that generate revenue and build trust, and high-priced offerings (coaching sessions, courses) at the bottom.
Here's how it looks for a life coach:
Tier
Product
Price
Purpose
Free
Self-assessment quiz, resource library, or email challenge
$0
Build email list, attract prospects
Low-ticket
Workbook, planner, or template bundle
$17 to $47
Revenue + trust-building. Buyer thinks: "This was worth $27. Their coaching is probably great."
Mid-ticket
eBook, video mini-course, or framework
$47 to $197
Deeper engagement. Often the step before booking 1:1 coaching.
High-ticket
Coaching sessions or packages
$150 to $3,000+
The core business. Digital products feed clients here.
The funnel works like this: someone downloads your free quiz, joins your email list, gets your welcome sequence, buys a $27 workbook, gets value from it, and books a $150 discovery call. That one free quiz led to a $1,500+ coaching package.
Bundle pricing for higher average order value
Individual products have low price points. Bundles fix that.
"The Career Transition Toolkit" ($67): includes the career pivot workbook ($27), interview prep swipe file ($19), and 90-day planner ($17). Bought individually: $63. Bundled: $67 but feels like more value because of the "toolkit" framing.
"The Coach's Starter Kit" ($97): session prep worksheets, discovery call scripts, intake form templates, and follow-up email templates. Sold to other coaches.
Bundles increase average order value by 40 to 60 percent compared to single products. They also simplify the buying decision: "one toolkit" is easier to choose than "which of these 5 products do I need?"
Pricing principles
Price based on the problem, not the page count. A 5-page worksheet that saves someone 10 hours of confusion is worth $19. A 50-page workbook full of generic prompts isn't worth $5.
Start with even-dollar pricing. $17, $27, $47, $97. These price points feel intentional and perform well for digital products across industries.
Test and adjust. Your first price is a guess. After 20 to 30 sales, check your conversion rate. If it's over 5 percent, you might be priced too low. Under 1 percent, you might be too high (or your product description needs work).
Where and how to sell
You have options for where to list your digital products. The right choice depends on whether you also sell coaching sessions.
Talkspresso
Sell digital products and coaching sessions from the same page. A client browsing your profile sees your 1:1 sessions, group coaching, and downloadable products all in one place. This creates natural upselling: someone who buys a $27 workbook sees that you also offer $150 coaching sessions.
Best for: Coaches who want one platform for everything (sessions + products). No separate account to manage.
Gumroad
A popular standalone platform for digital product sales. Simple setup, decent analytics. Takes a 10% fee on the free plan.
Best for: Coaches who don't need a coaching platform and want to sell products independently.
Etsy
Surprisingly effective for planners, templates, and printables. Etsy's built-in search traffic means buyers can find your products without your own marketing. Etsy takes a listing fee ($0.20) plus 6.5% transaction fee.
Best for: Printable products (planners, trackers, journal prompts) that fit Etsy's marketplace audience.
Your own website
Full control over design, pricing, and customer experience. Requires Stripe or PayPal integration and a file delivery system (or plugins like WooCommerce or Shopify).
Best for: Established coaches with an existing website and traffic.
The recommendation
If you're selling coaching sessions and digital products (which you should be), keep everything on one platform. Your client's experience should be "I visited [your name]'s page, browsed their offerings, and bought a workbook AND booked a session." Two separate platforms creates friction and splits your audience.
FAQ
How much money can I make selling digital products as a life coach?
New coaches with 1 to 3 products typically earn $200 to $800 per month from digital product sales. Coaches with a developed catalog (5 to 10 products) and an established audience earn $1,000 to $5,000 per month. Top coaches with courses and licensed frameworks earn $5,000 to $20,000+ per month. These numbers assume active marketing. Products don't sell themselves without traffic.
What is the best first digital product for a life coach?
A coaching workbook or a self-assessment quiz. Both are simple to create (a weekend project), directly showcase your expertise, and serve as lead magnets for your coaching practice. If you already have a framework you use with every client, package it as a workbook. If you have a diagnostic process, package it as a quiz.
Can I sell digital products without a large following?
Yes. You don't need a large audience; you need a specific audience. A coach with 500 Instagram followers in a tight niche can sell more products than a coach with 50,000 generic followers. Email lists are more valuable than social followers for digital product sales. Start with your warm network and grow from there.
How do digital products help my coaching practice?
Digital products serve as the top of your client acquisition funnel. A free quiz builds your email list. A $27 workbook proves your value. Both warm up prospects who eventually book 1:1 coaching. Coaches who offer digital products alongside sessions report higher client lifetime value because clients engage with their content between sessions and during breaks from coaching.
How long does it take to create a digital product?
A workbook, template bundle, or assessment tool: one weekend (4 to 8 hours). An eBook or guide: 2 to 4 weekends (15 to 30 hours). A video mini-course: 2 to 4 weeks (30 to 50 hours). An email course or challenge: 1 to 2 days (4 to 8 hours). Start with the simplest format. You can always create more complex products later.
Should I give products away for free or charge for them?
Both, strategically. Give away one product as a lead magnet (assessment, checklist, or short guide) to build your email list. Charge for everything else. Free products attract prospects. Paid products generate revenue and filter for serious buyers. The ascension model (free, low-ticket, mid-ticket, high-ticket) is the most effective structure.
What tools do I need to create digital products?
Canva (free) for PDFs, workbooks, and planners. Google Docs or Sheets for text-based products and trackers. Your phone and Audacity (free) for audio recordings. ConvertKit or MailerLite (free tiers) for email courses. No expensive software required. The content is the product, not the production quality.
