It’s been said before on this blog, but, these days, modern websites should be more than simple digital brochures. Agencies have the power to transform their client’s informative websites into transactional websites—meaning they can make money online even if they don’t sell physical products.


This isn’t an uncommon practice, either. Remember the last time you scheduled a haircut or needed a plumber? There’s a good chance you were able to book that service online and, if the website is transactional, you may even have paid online as well.


However, appointments aren’t the end-all be-all of transactional websites. Your clients can also sell digital products. There are a limitless number of digital products that your clients could be offering to their customers, and these products can be sold by a much wider variety of businesses than you may realize.


To help spark your imagination, we’re going to explore 8 examples of digital products your clients can start selling today.


Guides and ebooks


Knowledge is a valuable commodity—one many customers are eager to spend money on. Your clients can create informative content addressing common pain points or offering meaningful insights into their niche. They don’t need to be an aspiring author, either! Travel agents can sell itineraries, restaurants can sell cookbooks, etc.


Online courses


Sometimes the written word isn’t the best vehicle to convey information. Instead of a guide, your clients can create in-depth training videos based on their area of expertise similar to work done by Udemy or (shameless plug) Duda University. These courses don’t have to be strictly educational, either. Consider your fitness clients, for example, who could sell at-home guided workout videos.


Printable templates and workbooks


From social media planners to budget trackers, there’s a huge market for helpful printables. Your clients can leverage their expertise alongside easy-to-use tools like Canva to create visually appealing templates that solve specific problems for their audience. 


Stock photography and graphics


High-quality visuals are essential for any business. If your client has a library of professional photos or illustrations, they should consider selling them! These images can be presented with a watermark on their website, then downloaded without after purchase—with proper licensure too. This is a great way for your design and photography clients to expand their offerings.


Music and audio assets


Musicians, composers, and sound designers can monetize their creations by selling digital music tracks, sound effects, jingles, or audio loops. These assets are invaluable for content creators, filmmakers, and game developers.


Consulting and coaching services


Leverage expertise in your client's industry to offer consultation services or coaching sessions. Clients can provide personalized advice, mentorship, or professional guidance on topics relevant to their niche.


Digital memberships


Your clients can offer digital products on a recurring basis for subscribers or members. Maybe you have a client in the financial services sector who would like to offer monthly budget templates, or perhaps a fitness client looking to sell recurring workouts videos.


Templates


Virtually all creation platforms, whether design oriented like Adobe’s Creative Cloud or productivity oriented like Notion, support templates of some kind. If your clients consistently work with any particular platform of this kind, then they may even have templates that they’ve already built. These can be shared pretty easily for a profit. This idea isn’t just for clients, either. Your agency can sell templates too!


Time to get your clients selling online


By diversifying their revenue streams with digital products, your clients can unlock new sources of income and establish themselves as thought leaders in their respective industries. 


Implementation is easy, too. The beauty of digital products lies in their scalability. There's no inventory to manage, and the creation process leverages the skills you already use to build sites on Duda today. This translates to high profit margins and the potential for passive income.

Learn how platform ecosystems drive revenue and why they are essential for the growth of SaaS businesses.
By Santi Clarke April 24, 2025
One of the greatest challenges for SaaS platforms is keeping users engaged long-term. The term “stickiness” refers to a product's ability to retain users and make them want to return. In the context of SaaS platforms, creating a sticky product means that users consistently find value, experience seamless interactions, and continue using the product over time. The following are 7 practical strategies you can take to improve the stickiness of your SaaS solution. 1. Offer websites that help customers build their digital presence One of the most effective ways to make your SaaS platform sticky is by offering websites to your users. Many businesses today need an online presence, and by providing a platform where your customers can easily build and manage their websites, you increase their reliance on your product. When you offer users a website-building solution, you’re helping them create something foundational to their business. Websites, in this case, aren’t just a tool—they become a part of their identity and brand. This deepens their engagement with your platform, as they need your product to maintain and update their site, ultimately making them less likely to churn. Plus, websites naturally encourage frequent updates, content creation, and customer interactions, which means your users will return to your platform regularly. When you can give your users the tools to create something so essential to their business, you make them more dependent on your platform. This creates a higher barrier to exit, as migrating a fully built website to another service is no small task. In fact, websites are some of the stickiest products you can sell, so adding them to your product portfolio can be one of the best decisions you can to keep your customers using your technology for the long haul. 2. Deliver continuous value through product innovation The key to keeping users coming back to your SaaS platform is ensuring that they consistently see value in it. This means not only meeting their immediate needs but also evolving to address their growing demands. Constant product innovation is essential for keeping your users satisfied and invested in your platform. One way to achieve this is through regular updates that add new features or improvements based on user feedback. A SaaS platform that evolves with its users will keep them engaged longer, making it harder for competitors to steal their attention. Encourage user feedback and prioritize updates that create tangible improvements. This creates an ongoing relationship with your users, which boosts stickiness. 3. Offer a multi-product solution Another powerful way to increase your platform’s stickiness is by offering a suite of products or features that integrate well together. When your users adopt multiple products, they are more likely to stay because they become embedded in your ecosystem. The benefits of this strategy are clear. Research shows that once users adopt more than one product, especially when they integrate >4 tools into their workflow, their likelihood of churn decreases significantly. This happens because the more a user integrates into your suite of products, the harder it is for them to switch to a competitor. These users have invested time in learning your ecosystem and rely on it for their day-to-day operations, making it much harder for them to make the switch. 4. Create a personal connection with your users Human connection is one of the most powerful drivers of user retention. People don’t want to feel like they’re using a cold, faceless platform. By offering exceptional customer support, personalized communication, and community engagement, you build a relationship with your users that goes beyond the product itself. Make sure your support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and empathetic. You can also consider offering tailored onboarding experiences to ensure users understand how to make the most of your platform. When users feel like their success matters to you, they are more likely to remain loyal. 5. Leverage data to personalize the user experience Using data to drive personalization is another strategy that can significantly increase the stickiness of your platform. By tracking user behavior and usage patterns, you can tailor the experience to each individual user’s needs. This could mean recommending features they haven’t yet explored or sending them reminders about tools they may not be fully utilizing. Personalization gives users the feeling that the platform was designed specifically for them, making it harder to walk away from. By demonstrating that you understand their unique needs, you can build a stronger connection and ultimately increase retention rates. 6. Focus on seamless integrations and API capabilities To further increase stickiness, consider expanding your product’s ability to integrate with other tools your users already rely on. Whether it’s email marketing software, CRM systems, or social media management tools, seamless integrations add tremendous value by making it easier for users to incorporate your platform into their existing workflows. The more your product can work in tandem with other popular tools, the more indispensable it becomes. In fact, users who depend on integrations are less likely to churn since their entire ecosystem is tied to your platform’s functionality. 7. Encourage user advocacy and community building User advocacy is another powerful tool in building a sticky product. When users feel a sense of community or even ownership over the platform, they become your most passionate promoters. Encourage your users to share their success stories, join community forums, or contribute to product development through beta testing or feedback loops. A thriving user community not only increases user engagement but also creates a sense of loyalty. When users are part of something larger than themselves, they are more likely to remain committed to your platform, reducing churn and increasing lifetime value. Create deep, lasting customer relationships Making your SaaS platform sticky is all about creating a deep, lasting connection with your users. This requires building a platform that continuously delivers value, creating a seamless and personalized experience, and integrating features that keep users coming back. By focusing on product innovation, offering a multi-product ecosystem, and fostering strong user relationships, you’ll be well on your way to reducing churn and boosting user retention. Stickiness isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential for long-term success. Focus on creating a platform that users can’t imagine living without, and you’ll see them stick around for the long haul.

Your team is likely pretty familiar with the products they built, but what about the ones they didn’t? Integrated tools can throw a wrench into your support operations, but they don’t have to.
