Starting a digital product business is exciting, but beginners often make mistakes that slow them down. Here’s what NOT to do:

1. Waiting for “Perfect”

Reality: Your first product won’t be perfect—and that’s OK! Just start, launch, and improve later.

2. Making It Too Complicated

Reality: Simple sells better. A one-page template can make more money than a 100-page ebook.

3. Not Testing the Idea First

Reality: Before creating, ask 5-10 people if they’d pay for it. If nobody’s interested, tweak your idea!

4. Trying to Sell Without an Audience

Reality: Build trust first! Share free tips on Threads, Instagram, or Twitter before launching.

5. Choosing the Wrong Product Type

Reality: If your audience prefers videos, don’t sell a PDF. Always ask what format they want.

6. Ignoring Marketing

Reality: Even a great product won’t sell if nobody knows about it. Promote daily! (Stories, tweets, DMs).
