Stop Waiting for Permission: How to Launch Your First Digital Product in 30 Days

You don’t need me to tell you that you’ve been sitting on that idea for way too long.The course. The guide. The template. The thing you know could help someone.

But instead of launching it, you’ve been:

  • Googling “best platform” for weeks.
  • Comparing yourself to people with 10,000 followers.
  • Telling yourself you’ll “start when things calm down.”

Here’s the truth: it will never be the perfect time.
And you don’t need anyone’s permission.

You don’t need fancy software. You don’t need a logo. You don’t need to have it all figured out.

You just need 30 days, a clear plan, and the courage to put something out into the world.

Let’s break it down:

Week 1: Brainstorm & Validate Your Idea

Stop asking yourself, “What would sell?” and start asking, “What problem have I already solved that I can package up and help someone else with?”

Validation tip:
👉 Post about your idea. Ask people if they’d want it. If even one person says yes, you’ve got proof of concept.

Week 2: Create Your Minimum Viable Product

Notice I didn’t say “perfect” product. I said minimum viable.
That means:

  • A PDF guide.
  • A template pack.
  • An audio file.
  • A 30-minute workshop recording.

Keep it simple. Done is better than perfect.

Week 3: Set Up Your Storefront

This is where people get stuck, so let me make it simple:

  • Use Gumroad, Stan Store, or Flodesk Checkout.
  • Upload your product.
  • Write a short, clear description.

Boom. You now have a product that’s ready to buy.

Week 4: Launch Messy

Here’s the part everyone avoids.
You hit publish. You post about it. You tell people, “Hey, I made this thing that can help you.”

No one is judging you. And if they are? They’re not your people.
Your job is to launch messy, learn fast, and keep going.

The Bottom Line

Thirty days from now, you could either:

  • Still be “thinking” about creating your first digital product, OR
  • Have it out there, live, and selling.

One choice keeps you stuck. The other builds momentum.

So stop waiting for permission. Stop waiting for perfect.
Start today. Because the only way to figure this out… is to just start.
