to Market and get sales people do charge thousands of dollars for courses just like this one all I ask in return for the free education is just hit that like button for the YouTube algorithm And subscribe to my YouTube channel so I can continue to create free courses just like this remember that my YouTube channel is your number one source for 100% free education and courses when you sell a physical product there's definitely more costs involved such as product cost shipping and other random fees if you are actually holding inventory and the products yourself although with digital products you are not having to actually do that so when you make a sale you are keeping almost all of that money from that customer so what is a digital product a digital product as you know is a non-physical product even though you're not physically holding it it's still a product that people can use and purchase just like how a lot of physical products fulfill a need or want in someone's life you're doing the same exact thing with digital products especially as our world is becoming even more digital as we know it so there are many different types of digital products you can sell ebooks PDF guides printables templates planners recipes courses tutorials and guides Consulting games and so much more remember that your digital product has to have value it has to solve a problem in some way and provide the buyer with something and this doesn't have to be strictly educational you can provide value with entertainment although usually more educational type of digital products do tend to make more money are the ones that focus on a specific problem that you can solve solve it doesn't have to be life-changing but the value has to be there now with all of these different ideas of digital products how do you find the right digital product to sell for you I know everyone watching this video right now has something they either do or are interested in doing just like with every single business modle that I teach on my YouTube channel whether you are starting an online business or becoming a content creator you need to pick a niche and I'm going to help you brainstorm this right now I got you I want you to think of it like this no matter who you are I know that there's something that you know that other people might not know even if you are someone that you're really great at creating PowerPoints or creating flyers on canva you can start teaching others about how to actually do this you can start teaching others how to use canva and you can start selling tons of digital products in relation to this topic your Niche doesn't have to be revolutionary it just has to be necessary I think that's the biggest issue that some of you guys face is you get way too hon up on trying to find a niche that is going to be life-changing or that you're trying to find the most special thing to start and in reality it can be something really so simple you like to cook you can sell a digital cookbook you are a mom you could sell printable games for kids games for other moms and families to use you can create templates guides and so many others the only thing that you need to do while watching this is you need to decide on what that is going to be and the rest of this free course will actually show you how to bring that Vision to life and start selling these digital products as you were trying to decide what you want to sell you first need to decide who your audience is who is the ideal person that will be buying this digital product by you thinking in this way this will help you to create and figure out what that product is going to be have that ideal type of person in mind who's going to like or want this digital product during this process one of the best things you can do is research what's already out there so whatever you have in mind right now that you're thinking about doing this is what I want you to do I want you to search profiles on Tik Tok using the Tik Tok search search for profiles on Instagram do a search on Pinterest and I can almost guarantee that you are going to find other profiles in this specific Niche that you're thinking of that you can look at for inspiration and examples by seeing how other people are marketing their own digital products or what type of digital products they're selling you'll gain many ideas this way now of course we are not out here trying to copy anybody but you can still look at what other people are doing for examples and get inspiration for your own so now that we've brainstormed what digital products going to be right for you now let's jump in and I'm going to be showing you how to actually create a digital product so for today's video I will be designing a PDF ebook this is one of the easiest digital products that you can make and something that you can easily sell to your customers so to create this today we we are going to be using canva I use canva for so many different things for my online business so it's so worth learning how it works and it's very user friendly for beginners too so canva actually has an entire range of free templates that you can choose from so let's go ahead and type in ebook and see what comes up so look how many ebook templates you have here to choose from something that you also want to search for is A4 templates ebook this will pull up even more templates you can choose from if you are wanting to do a longer ebook with lots of information definitely look for a template that has multiple pages so you can do this just by scrolling over the little numbers on the lower leftand side right here and check the little numbering tab I like finding ones with multiple Pages cuz you can see more of the layouts this way so then you just have more to work with I love this one so just click customize this template right here so the first thing that I'm going to do is I'm going to just upload a photo of myself for this and you don't have to upload a photo of yourself just upload a photo that is in relation to the topic and I first thing I'm going to do is just change the color here because I want the colors to pop and I also want it to match um the jacket that I'm wearing in this photo now you obviously don't have to and you don't even have to change these things if you don't want to I just have a certain vision for how I personally want this to be so if you ever need any graphics you can go to the elements tab right here and just type in whatever you need so they have lots of different things you use I'm just going to change the font up a little bit and just make it more bold so it's able to be seen more easily so just move the text around as much as you want add whatever you need to add to make this exactly how you need it I'm actually creating a digital product about an entire email list for ugc creators to get in touch with Brands ugc is another awesome side hustle that you can start doing with 0 and I do have a free course for it on my YouTube channel if you want to learn about it I wanted to make this digital product cuz I really feel like it'll help with beginners and ugc so this digital product is fulfilling a need that I couldn't really even put in a YouTube video since these are actual email lists so it's not something that I could really do a video on so I was like I got you guys I'm going to make a digital product on this today so once you're done with the cover page I'm keeping it super simple I'm just going to scroll down to the next page and I'm going to use this one I like how it's just laid out very simple and that's just all we need for this so I'm just going to change up what I need to change I'm changing the text I'm going to change the color and what I'm actually doing after this is I'm just clicking duplicate page so for the next page I don't have to like redo this all over again so whenever you have exactly what you're looking for just click duplicate page so then you don't have to keep like redoing the same thing over and over again so I actually just typed up my digital product in a Word document first and right now I'm just going to copy this over and put it in the actual digital product so you can copy this and paste it here I'm also Bolding everything because I just want it to stand out and I'm making it as big as I possibly can so I'm just going to do one of just so you guys see how I organized this I had one page for fashion brands and the next page I'm making for Beauty Brands so let's get that looking good and now I'm just going to go to elements and I'm just searching makeup to find relevant graphics for this PDF so I'm just um putting those here I'm doing the same thing for the fashion brands one I just looked up fashion in elements and just found some cute free clip art I can use in this digital product and there we have it so it's looking really good and you guys can see this is very basic it's just three pages um now I actually did add more to this I'm just not showing it right now cuz then I don't want you guys to be sitting here watching me do all of it it's not necessary so I'm um going to do the rest of the digital product off screen so when you are done just go up to the share button on the upper right hand side go to download and you're going to change where it says PNG you're going to change it to PDF standard because we're actually making this a PDF document and all pages are here so when you're done just click download now let's go ahead and take a look at our final product you guys can see this is nothing fancy or crazy it's just a simple template in design packed with value for the person that's going to be getting this if you do too many Graphics or try to make it look too fancy it can take away from the actual reason why people bought it so I personally love to keep things straight and simple so I think this looks really awesome and we literally made this in less than 10 minutes obviously me finding all these emails took a lot longer than 10 minutes but actually putting it together and getting it together only took 10 minutes so while we're on canva this is another thing that I want you to search while you're here I want you to go back to the canvas search and type in lay flat mockup scroll down and you can see here they have so many different mockups now you can use these for social media posts or even your actual website I like using mockups because you can just take a picture of your cover photo and put it on an iPad and then the customers visually seeing how they are going to receive the product so it's not just you know just your cover photo like they're actually a little bit more understanding of how they're going to see it so like if you're selling a planner you can use one of these mockups and it'll actually look like okay like that's how it's going to look on my iPad when I use it so it's just good for psychology when you're actually selling the product and posting it on your social media sites too so let's find a good mockup this one was my favorite one that stood out to me at the moment so let's go ahead and customize this a little bit you can either screenshot the cover photo or just download it as a single PNG it'll save as an actual photo so then you can upload the photo into this canva template and put it right on the iPad then just change up whatever you need to change up on the screen for this template in less than 5 minutes you just created a mockup that you are going to use to actually get sales on this digital product make sure you stay here till the end of this video cuz that's when I'm going to actually start talking about how you're going to get sales for this digital product also just a quick tip if you are looking for a good title for your digital product and you just cannot figure it out don't sleep on chat GPT you can go to chat GPT and it's literally free to use and just type in whatever you're creating your digital product about so let's just do a random one I'm just going to type in give me titles for an ebook about how to get sales for your online business and literally in a second it will give you so many different options that you can use for titles and these titles are actually really awesome too so now that you have designed and created your digital product now it's time to get your digital product out there so you can start promoting it and getting sales so one popular hosting website that a lot of digital product goovers will tell you to use is this one called gumroad I personally don't recommend this one since they do take 10% of every sale even though it's free to post your products on here that 10% flat rate will add up a lot over time especially once you start making thousands of dollars I personally recommend having your own website that you have complete control over the website host that I recommend for using digital products is called hostinger and hostinger actually has an AI website builder so don't worry about having to pay anybody to create your we for you I am so excited to show you how this works because just the fact that you can use AI now to build your own websites is actually insane so if you look in my description box right below this video there will be a link for hostinger that you can use and once you are there it will bring you to this page and by the way if you don't have a computer you can actually follow along with this tutorial on your mobile phone too so out of all of the online store hosting platforms out there not only is this platform the most affordable but it provides the most features the business plan comes with a five times increased performance which is crucial for online stores it also comes with a lot of marketing tools too which can help you to optimize your website and help attract even more customers to make those sales so let's just say you're going to go with the business plan click on that then go down here and where it says do you have a coupon code just type in this code bad in business for even more money off on top of this already discounted pricing so once you're done with that you'll come to this page where you can start building your website this is very simple to use and I'm going to show you how to use the AI website builder so go ahead and just click on AI Builder and just click select it's going to bring you to this page where you are going to claim your free domain so a free domain does come with this website host and the plan that we picked which is super awesome so type in whatever you want here or if you already have an existing domain you can connect that here once you're done you're going to just fill out your other details then it's going to bring you back to the website builder so it says here let AI create you a website in minutes I'm excited so just click on this button here that says start creating so here in this section it's going to ask for your brand name so we're going to put body and business your website type we're going to select online store and your description so I just typed in a website where I'm selling eBooks and guides on the topic of Entrepreneurship with the goal to uplift Inspire and educate others to go after oh over their dreams I meant after but it's okay they should understand what I mean so in this description box you're going to fill out all the details about what you are using this for and what you are selling so write as much as you can hear about your website and the more descriptive you are with the AI the better so now we're going to wait for the AI to generate our website you can actually see what it's working on as it's working which is really cool I love this because you are not having to start a website from scratch or pay anyone to set it up for you it can definitely be a process trying to figure out what layouts to use or what templates to use even though hostinger does have over 150 templates you can use it can definitely be overwhelming at first so I really love how this is all done for us by this hostinger AI website builder so in less than a few minutes AI has built my website I want you to think of AI as a coworker your cooworker just created this website for you but now you're going to put your own custom spin on it and make it even more personalized to what you love so I'm going to show you how to customize it here so on the left side here you can see all the different options for colors text buttons and animations so let's go ahead and change the color here and I'm also just changing the text up a little bit too I'm uploading a photo of myself and if you click on this plus button here it adds elements this is on the upper leand side and I'm just clicking this shape button because I want to add a shape behind me CU you guys can see it looks a little weird with like just my photo so I'm just just like dragging this as big as I can and I'm actually clicking send it back so this is now behind my photo and I'm just going to make it a circle so it just looks more cohesive on the site and you can just drag everything by just resizing it to whatever you need now that I see my jacket with the background I kind of want the background the same color as my jacket in this photo so let's go back to colors and make this a light purple color so when you find a color that you like in this just click accept and I'm just going to change this up to something different so you can just click over it and type in whatever you want here and I'm typing in here to uplift Inspire and educate and what I'm actually going to do is I'm just going to drag everything upwards because I want this to kind of be on the top of the website but I don't want it to take over like the full page so what you can do is actually drag these Graphics upwards and then scroll down and you will see you can actually just drag this whole bar up so now you have like a little bit of better better header so when somebody's on your website they're going to actually see the content in your online store better this way cuz we want people on our websites buying stuff not just on our websites looking at things so let me show you the rest of the features here if you go back over to the leftand side here you can click on this little layer button and what this is is pages and navigation so click on ADD page and here we can actually add an about me page which is what a lot of um websites will have so we're just adding an about me page here and they already have templates that you can use so I'm just going to select one of these templates and in the name and navigation I'm just changing about to about me since this website is going to be more for like my personal branded website then just click save so if you guys go to the Le hand side here there's a little like shopping bag icon click on that and that's going to bring you to your online store so you will see all of the sample products that they have for you here so just click on manage products or edit one of these products now we're going to name our online store so I'm going to name it body and business so I'm going to name it body and business store click continue I'm just going to select my country here with the USD for what customers will see it as on the website click continue now just click add product so where it says images here you are going to select the image and this is going to be what your customers will see as the product image here in the title you can name your product so let's write a title for our product you can write a ribbon like if you want it to say new and I love this because you can actually use AI to write a product description for you you just have to tell AI exactly what you want scroll down and this is where you're going to set the pricing and we don't need to add quantity CU it's a digital product unlimited quantity and right here is where you're going to actually upload the file of the digital product you were selling so let's upload that digital file here and then just click save now I'm just going to go through and just delete all of these extra sample products we don't need them obviously they're just for your own reference so you'll be able to see your orders here when they come in you can adjust you can add discounts here on this tab and if you guys click on Store settings you can see here this is very important because this is where you're going to actually get the payments so you can connect PayPal here here you can connect stripe or manual payment on this page so definitely make sure you don't skip over that cuz that's how you're going to actually get paid so now let's make sure that we add the online store tab to the top or the front of your actual website cuz when people are on my website I like them to see the products right away not just under the shop tab like you can see here so just go back to the main front of the page and just click on ADD section right here and you are going to be able to add your online store here just click onct product list and now you can see your products are right under your banner on your actual website by the way you can click on this little phone tab on the top here to actually see how your website's going to look in Mobile too which is so important because 90% of people that are on your website are probably going to be on their actual mobile phones so definitely prioritize customizing how your website's going to look on mobile so what I do is I just go back and forth I look at the mobile Tab and I look at my computer View and I do both at the same time so don't forget to do that to make sure that your mobile site looks awesome as well so just go through all of your pages make sure that everything is what you want you can also connect your socials down here just by type by tapping edit social icons and you can just type in whatever your social media is to connect people straight to those pages if you need to and remember this is the fun part play around with it and just try out different things until you find what's going to be best for you so when you're ready to launch your website and go live and start getting sales just click the go live button on the upper right hand side here and now your website is ready to go so congratulations you just built your own website in less than 10 minutes again like we are just going through this so smoothly this is amazing and you guys look how awesome this looks so you can see your website here you have your banner on top you have your first digital product posted and you can click on this too to see like how this looks and personally think this looks awesome I can't believe how easy it actually was to do this with the Hoster AI website builder this would have took such more of a longer time without that so now that we've brainstormed our Niche we created a digital product we made an online store now I'm going to talk about one of the most important parts which is how you're going to actually get sales now remember you can have the most amazing digital product in the world but if you do not know how to get it out there and how to promote prod properly you are just simply not going to get sales no one's going to even know it exists if you are not out there promoting it now you definitely do not have to be some sort of influencer with millions of followers to get sales on your digital products we are in this era of social media now where you do not need a huge following to be successful and make money online so as a beginner I personally love using Pinterest this is because Pinterest is actually a search engine and you can link your digital product page through links using Pinterest when you go to post a pin you'll see that there's an option to put a link here and you can add your product page right here of course I personally love Instagram and Tik Tok because I feel like you have such a good chance to go viral when you are creating video content now remember this is the digital product so you're probably thinking well how do I create content for digital products like do I just like post screenshots of the product no you are going to get on your computer put your phone behind you you can actually show yourself like you don't have to show your face but you can show yourself actually viewing the digital products and just like make a video like that like um me when I just bought this digital product talking about how to become an influencer or like whatever you're doing the product about you can portray it in a way to make it marketable so you're not just like posting a boring screenshot video of your product like Tik tok's not going to show that Instagram reals is not going to show that but if you are just getting a little bit more creative with how you're making the videos you will see a huge difference and you might even gain a huge audience from starting to do your videos this way make sure that when you are marketing on social media you have pages that are dedicated to this nich or topic I do not want to see you guys on your personal Pages where you post your kids and your dogs posting content about your digital products because first of all Tik Tok and Instagram they will not know who to show this content to if you stay stay consistent and an you use the same hashtags every time you use the same wording every time your profile reflects what you are doing Tik Tok and Instagram are more likely to push your content out there to the right people that are wanting to see and buy your digital products make sure that you have a link in your bio to your digital product store of course and constantly be funneling people there you have to start thinking of social media as a funnel and remember that no matter how much time you put into video editing no matter how much time you put into these social media accounts this is a direct investment of your time and you have to recognize it this way even if your first 10 videos are flops you're learning every single time you make a new video and are promoting your product you can of course make mockups and post them on Pinterest and get sales this way with just a photo since Pinterest is very photo friendly but in my personal experience if you want to go from zero to making 10,000 plus a month focus on video content that was personally the game Cher for me and how I became a millionaire in two years was honestly it just boiled down to how I was creating content and how I was marketing my businesses through creating social media video content creation Now I do not want you guys to expect to go from zero to a million in a month it doesn't work that way just like with any business you have to try and fail some things before you see success don't compare your journey to anybody else's journey and just keep this in mind as you were starting if you were a beginner I tried so many different things until I found what actually worked for me so don't be afraid to try and experiment different things this is why I love digital products because you can start with little to no money and it can definitely turn into to a full-time income and you can kind of try out and test out different products without actually holding an actual product in your hand inventory which is basically in my eyes risk-free something else that you can do is provide free education give people some free digital products if you are getting people on your site and you're giving them something for free they're a lot more likely to buy from you in the future at first they might not know who you are or what you're selling or if you're a scam or not a scam so if you're giving out free products on your store or products for one cent they're going to receive that product and want more from you so this is another tactic that you can use to get more sales down the line and build relationships with your audience this way people aren't feeling like you're just trying to force a course or try to sell them something because nobody wants to feel like they're being sold something you want to make people feel like they're getting value from you so as you are on your journey of marketing I really hope these tips help if you're new here my channel is your number one source for 100% free education and courses I do have videos specifically about how to create short form video content how to go viral and so much more in relation to this topic as well so definitely don't sleep on those courses I do have a free marketing course dedicated just to what I just talked about too so definitely check that one out too it's on my YouTube channel in my 100% free courses playlist thank you guys
