Ep 287: How to Choose the Right Digital ...

Gillian Perkins
About this episode

In this episode, I’m sharing a challenge that nearly every aspiring entrepreneur faces at some point: how do you choose the right product to create and sell?

I’m walking you through the five-step framework I use to help my students make this decision strategically so they can confidently create a product that sells, even if they have a small audience or feel uncertain about their expertise. Whether you’re thinking about creating a course, a digital product, or something else, I’ll show you how to identify opportunities, filter your ideas using my Four Ps method (Problem, Person, Proven, Personal Fit), and validate your concept through real customer interactions and pre-sales.

I’m also sharing a practical example from one of my students, Jane Calms, who successfully launched her first course by following these exact steps.

If you’ve ever struggled with indecision, self-doubt, or simply having too many ideas, this episode will give you the clarity and direction you need to move forward.

Use this scoring spreadsheet to decide WHICH of your product ideas to pursue: https://gillianperkins.com/choose-what-product

  • A clear, step-by-step process for choosing the right product to create
  • How to narrow down your ideas using the Four Ps method
  • Practical ways to validate your product idea before you build it
  • Encouragement and examples to help you get started, even with a small audience
