From Employees to Digital Creators: How We Started Selling Digital Products (and Why You Can Too)

I (Seven) was a software developer, and MJ was an architect. We had steady 9-to-5 jobs, predictable paychecks, and a life that looked… well, normal. But something was missing. We craved flexibility, creativity, and the thrill of building something ours.

So we asked: How do people actually make money online — sustainably, remotely, and even artistically?

That’s when we discovered digital products.

Why Digital Products?

For us, it was a no-brainer.

We didn’t want to deal with inventory, shipping, or logistics while hopping between countries. Plus, we already loved sharing what we knew — why not turn that into something valuable?

The Real Challenges (No One Talks About This)

Let’s be honest: Making the product was the easy part.

The hard part? Getting seen.

We had useful content, but zero clue about marketing, SEO, or storytelling. We made so many mistakes, mostly by assuming “If we build it, they will come.” (Spoiler: They didn’t.)

But here’s what changed everything: We embraced the discomfort of learning. We fumbled, adjusted, and kept going even when it felt like shouting into the void.

What Makes Our Products Different?

Every guide we sell comes from real, messy experience — not just theory.
Just honest, actionable lessons from two people who are still learning as they go.

Where We’re Heading

We’re still figuring things out, and that’s okay.

Our dream? To keep creating, improving, and helping others start before they feel “ready.”

We’re not gurus — just two people a few steps ahead, holding the door open for you.

Because your skills are valuable. Your ideas are worth sharing.

And your story? It might be exactly what someone else needs to begin their own.

So, what’s your first digital product going to be?

Our First Product: The Spain Digital Nomad Visa Starter Kit

Our debut product? A simple, practical PDF guide to help fellow Filipinos apply for Spain’s Digital Nomad Visa.

Was it glamorous? Nope.
Did it sell out instantly? Not even close.
But it was real — rooted in our own struggles and wins.

That first tiny sale? Pure magic. It proved this could actually work.

"We’ve always been artistically inclined — sketching for fun and geeking out over anything beautifully designed. Creating digital products became the perfect mix of our creativity, lifestyle, and curiosity."

If You’re Thinking About Starting…

We get it. It’s scary.

You’ll feel lost. You’ll second-guess yourself. But here’s the secret: Everything can be learned.

So if you’ve been sitting on an idea, start small. Create something. Put it out there. Tweak as you go.

And if you need a roadmap? That’s why we made our guides — by beginners, for beginners, because no one should have to start from zero alone.
