The days when digital product creation and online sales weren’t profitable are long gone. We now live in an era where on-demand rules the digital space. From on-demand ride-hailing (Uber and Bolt) to video-on-demand, to e-commerce itself. In Nigeria, for instance, making money selling digital products like ebooks, courses, training, e.t.c has become mainstream, so is creating an e-commerce store and selling. This is made possible by platforms like Selar – a startup founded by Douglas Kendyson in 2016 – helping creators sell their products or services online.
