Two routes. One practical learning plan.

Start as an affiliate assessing an existing offer, or develop a digital product as a vendor. Choose one route first and work through a manageable project.

Part A: Start as an affiliate

• Understand the business model and prepare your account
• Research an audience, demand and search intent
• Compare offers and interpret marketplace metrics
• Check affiliate links and build a useful recommendation page
• Choose a channel and create helpful content
• Calculate commission, returns, costs and working time
• Use advertising disclosures, data, assets and AI responsibly
• Run and evaluate a bounded 30-day test

Part B: Sell your own digital product

• Develop and test a small, useful first product
• Create a Digistore24 product listing and configure price and checkout
• Deliver PDFs through the download vault
• Check the full buyer journey with a test purchase
• Prepare return arrangements, product approval and marketplace entries
• Create affiliate materials, offer an optional extra and review your launch

Tools for doing the work

14 modules, seven worksheets, fictional worked examples, calculation exercises, self-checks with answers, work plans and official reference links. Everything is contained in one English PDF.

Learn to check the numbers

Four sales earning €25 commission each initially produce €100. One reversed commission leaves €75. After €20 in costs, €55 remains before tax and the value of your time.

This is a fictional calculation exercise, not an earnings forecast. The course shows how to replace assumptions with evidence from your own project.

Who is it for?

Beginners who want to assess digital offers carefully and do the practical work themselves. You need internet access, a PDF reader and time for the exercises. Around 12–18 working hours across four weeks is an orientation for the affiliate practice work; creating your own product requires additional time.

This is a written self-study course. Videos, personal coaching, ready-made income sources and resale rights are not included. There is no earnings or success guarantee. Some official reference links open German help articles; the course itself is in English.

Explore 25 affiliate-content approaches and 25 ideas for your own digital products, each with a specific audience and a first test.

€9.99 one time, VAT included · 29-page PDF · a voluntary extra
