DON'T Sell On Etsy, Do THIS Instead | Make $10k/mo w/ Digital Products

A great video. Thank you. I have subscribed because of sound, actionable advice that isn't high-level fluff that is prevalent that tricks people into thinking they are going to learn about business.

Thanks! This both confirmed somethings and helped me to understand other things that I needed for social media marketing.

Please help me..... I'm begging you sir 😭😭

SOCIAL MEDIA IS A MUST. I TELL MYSELF THIS ALOT lol

Excellent!!

What the fuck is this guy talking about

Hi Doug, you should speak more slowly, more clearly, unlike a robot because your audience come from around the globe. This is a common flaw Made by online tutors.

Your method seems like it would work for physical products too. Thanks!

Really wanting to get a brand built up through SM whether it's Insta or TT, but with digital products no matter how many vids I watch on what to post for digital products I'm always still at a loss because my digital products are for other small businesses and not the actual end users etc. Still working on brainstorming tho lol

A lot of talk about nothing

Finally, someone who says Etsy is not the b all and end all to having POD products. Thank you!

Problem with Etsy & other Marketplaces is they hold onto your money first, which allows them to take charge of your money & account whenever. And they want ID & other private information before they will allow selling. And your listing does not turn up in their search engine.

Part of the concept is building community...versus hoping someone stumbles upon your stuff that may resemble the stuff from some other "shop" online...
Get Outside the Grid...
Stop Competing With 1000s of others
Build Relationships, do groups centered on the Key Personality associated with the products.
Have a "Mascot" like Ronald or Wendy...a relatable Persona...
Build By Personal Email ...
Correspondence Between Founder of XAZ...pronounced "ZAZ"...
USE TYPOGRAPHY AND COLOR TO REFLECT, RESONATE, RADIATE
Create a theme, vision, purpose, mission for the business beyond just making money...
What does the business/CO/Corp stand for??? Who do we help after helping ourselves???

Ok you got my attention so what is a social media brand do you have a video explaining this and how to in detail?

IS THERE ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVE TO ETSY MY DEAR

Hello I love it

What are your thoughts on hashtags? With X & Instagram I see some posts with them, some without. I'm assuming when there are no hashtags is because they have a decent following. I use them but never know if I've chosen effective ones or not. Great video!

I came here for advice and I am already doing every single one of these things. 😂I also recently abandoned my Etsy where I was trying to establish my brand with my face on my cover photo. lol

Anyway, this has been a HUGE confirmation that I'm on the right track, thank you so much!! ✨

🤩

I love this, but what sales platforms do you recommend for digital products?

I don’t care about the figures. Im over 70k in debt to college. Plus cards.

I love social media

This is great and all, but what in babas names do I post as content for printable wall art? 17 of the same art work stills as reels? Photos aren't being boosted in the algoritm so it comes down on reels.. I genuinly gave this a lot of thought. But I can not figure out what reels for printable wall art should look like.

Thank you so much for the info and help Doug, I really appreciate it! Amazing what you and Hayley have done and accomplished! Subscribed to your channel. I also signed up for your Free 5 day challenge as well. I received the email and it asks me to "Confirm subscription" - is it just an email subscription I need to confirm? Is there a charge of any kind for the challenge? Thank you.

I have a unique digital product, hired to build an Etsy store with Printful as fulfillment... ETSY IS A STRUGGLE.
I dont participate in sosh-media but unerstand that its necessary.

Social 🤢

This video really hits the nail on the head about the flaws in marketplace selling. I've been using boost app social to build my personal brand on social media, and it's made a huge difference in controlling my lead flow and escaping price wars. Great insights!

Thank you for all the information concerning making money online. I am checking out easy and affordable ways to make money online, without spending all day long sitting at the computer as if you have nothing else to do. I am looking for honest people who tell us the truth about making money online. This way we can make an honest decision to decide if or not it's for us.

People with little money and already struggling as it is, we don't have time to be wasted on something that may not work the way the tittle says it does...Thank you, "peace"

I appreciate the truth here, no one talks about how hard is to stand out on such platforms.
But God I hate social media. I'd be better day trading

I liked your post....I live in Jamaica and there are limitations to selling online...can you share how I can go about making my first sale online. Thanks 😊

One major flaw is they suspends account even in good standing

Where should we sell then? shopify?

Hello Doug, I agree.

So many crafter's are disheartened with Etsy with the way they treat small business. I had a website and shop which had digital downloads. Sadly, I got badly hacked. I've not traded for 13 years. I hope to have a shop again on my website and an angel to look out for me so I can raise money for my daughter's Art and Music education. 😊

12 minutes of nothing. Thank you dude.

God I hate these cliche, cookie-cutter, clickbait titles...

Best vid I've watched since I searched for starting online products sales..

Bro really drag social media brand advantages… funny then he give an example like “if i upload 50 video,bla bla “ please shut up fam.

Digital assets never sleeps. We need to move quickly and grow quickly and do everything sooner rather than later. I will recommend Mrs Miriam Alvarez to anyone who is new on digital asset investment, is safe investing with her because there is no chance of you losing your money, her investment strategy is simply superb.

73 videos of anything ur a genius in my book 😂

Thank you very much! Very informative and inspiring

Isn't only for digital products physical as well

Hi can someone please tell me. What laptop I would need to start getting into the ai art designs to then send to printyfy to then put these images onto items such as t-shirts and mugs and canvases I love this idea I just don't no what kind of laptop I'd need I don't have thousands of pounds so it would have to be a lower class laptop or a refurbished one can someone please help

Very nice info 👌

That’s the thing about Etsy. I didn’t wanna keep dropping my price to “compete.”

Pinterest has been such a blessing. Even my items that are no longer on the first page of Etsy still get sales thanks to Pinterest. If people like a product enough, they’ll buy it. Whether it’s $5 or $15.

Best advice on the subject. 10/10.
