HOW TO CREATE, PRICE & SELL DIGITAL PRODUCTS: How I'm able to sell everything with Teachable

[@thewolflady8192]

That's great. I’ve been following you for a long time and when you start talking about taxes, I get lost because that’s really not my area. My thoughts are like a tornado, full of data that I don’t know where to put them. And that's me, confused me, silly me, student me. And you're the one helping me through this data delusion. You are teaching me step by step. You are The savior! Thank you! ♥️

[@day_215]

Love that your channel is starting to take off! I originally discovered you through your KZbin related videos and have been binge watching you since. Your hard work and consistency is paying off. Nothing but up from here!

[@trojanette8345]

It's very admirable of you to admit that you didn't do your research / benchmark your idea or intent. A lot of other creators might have been inclined to blame the result on everything and everybody else but themselves. P.S. Don't worry about talking too fast I figured out early on to change the viewing speed. Works just fine for me. SMILE. Using teachable sounds a lot like playing poker: the 'House' takes its % right off the top immediately then, sells you or gives back to you the rest of what's left. Upfront costs are: a loss of 10% to the 'House' + another 20% (give or take) just for taxes, alone. Before you've made any real profit 30% is gone right out of the window.

Loved this Cathrin. I've been following you all year and you totally inspired me to start my own channel. Thank you!! And digital products are the best!!

[@coleyarmstrong6770]

I would love to see a video about creating LR presets!! I’m so glad you did this video. Teachable seems so much better than Amazon! :)

[@CathrinManning]

Teachable is really great! I love it! But I'll definitely create that video here soon :)

[@RadicalSelfAwareness]

I just wish I had a billion hours to sit and watch all your videos! You are so helpful and definitely speak to my thought process! Love love love your stuff!

[@Andreene]

This info is GOLD! I am so oblivious to the amount of preparation and different expenses to take into consideration. 💜💜💜

[@HeyNewMomma]

Yes please! MORE MORE MORE! Love your work!

[@CathrinManning]

Awe thank you!

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

I would be very interested in more videos about how to create and market digital products. Thanks for all you do it has given me new hope. Have a great week and take care! #Heart

[@SandraDi]

Hi there! I personally sell digital products and use Pinterest as my greatest traffic driver to my shop. It is an amazing platform. Have you tried it? :)

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Sandra, I just don't understand how Pinterest works. #Heart

[@SandraDi]

@@AdventuresInWetShaving I know it's super confusing at first. It took me some time but after I got the hang of it, it drives most of my traffic. I would suggest creating a business account on pinterest (totally free) and do some keyword research for your pins (for your title and descriptions). You can do keyword research just by using the search bar! Also vertical pins perform best. There's so many tutorials on them which I'll be sharing as well to help people. I believe Cathrin has some good tutorials too! :)

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Sandra, I've subscribed to your channel. I would like to learn more about digital products and seeing if I can make a business out of my hubby or start something new. I'm looking forward to watching your videos. #Heart

[@SandraDi]

@@AdventuresInWetShaving that's awesome! Glad to have you! Yes I was the exact same - loved digital products but didn't know if I could turn it into a business. I'll be sharing my tips every week and always available to answer questions :)

[@theceriseontop8287]

I really like your blogging videos! You give all the info, I love that!

[@ShannonMarie_aguafiestasvlogs]

Love your videos!

[@MousyLeigh]

I’ve been wanting to do digital products. Thanks for this video.

[@LillithElaina]

More videos like this please! I'm starting to brainstorm ideas on making paid products so any tips are much appreciated 💖

[@SandraDi]

Hi! Do you know what type of digital products you're thinking of selling? I have some experience in it so maybe I can give you tips?

[@CourtneyLSanders]

Great video, Cathrin! I love the valuable content!

[@lavieenblocs]

I have the presets, love them too :) Thanks for the video Cath!

[@CathrinManning]

OH thank you! I'm glad you like them :)

[@luciq1007]

I just found you, watched a few of your videos and am loving it so far!. Just wanted to share 🙃

[@CathrinManning]

Thank you so much for sharing! I appreciate it :)

[@SigoniMacaroni]

This video was seriously amazing! So so helpful, especially seeing you layout all of the pricing and expenses. I’m in the process of creating my first course and I haven’t even launched it yet but I’ve been paying for teachable for the past two months 🤦🏻‍♀️ But I’m hoping to launch it soon. I would love if you came out with a video explaining how to set up sales funnels and promote your products! I have a decent sized following but I’m just not sure how to launch my product. Thanks for everything you do!

[@pargolsanaat2467]

I loved this video!! Thank you so much! I would love to see your video for lightroom preset!!

[@UniquelyJala]

I would love to see how you made & sell your presets!

[@isabel2589]

I loved the breakdown on the costs, that was very helpful! Thank you!

[@FilmAshton]

How did you decide the types of products to create?

[@DrCareyYazeedTV]

This was awesome! Great info.

[@CathrinManning]

I’m glad you liked it 🤗

[@vnn_elorde7680]

More videos on digital products...great content really helpful

[@marxalenina]

Catherine please make more of these! I need so much help.

[@jarkmann3977]

Yes, I would enjoy learning 'How to create my own digital product(s)' if I am a total newbie.

[@SandraDi]

Hi there! What type of digital products are you thinking of selling? I love creating them so I might be able to answer questions if you have any :)

[@AuthorBrittanyWang]

Thanks so much Cathrin! Do you have any videos about how to promote your courses effectively and boost sales? If not, I’d love to see a video like that if you have some tips! Thanks again 😁

[@indriagillespie]

I would like to see more videos on digital products. I have developed a 8hr+ course aimed at small businesses.

[@ToMyLegacy]

Can you teach us about the light room presets?

[@DanaePap_official]

i was looking for the video about the lightroom presets, did you end up making it? i would love a video like this, or maybe an IGTV..?

[@GemilyMez]

Always excellent information. Thank you for sharing so many of the details - like how much you make on selling an ebook. Wow. That is quite a small cut through amazon! shocking!

[@sarapuharich3140]

I really enjoy your transparency and the way I don't feel suckered into buying! What portion of your monthly income comes from your course sales? I'm making my first KZbin video. Where in the process of trying to deliver your content and get paid for it would you suggest an online course fits?

[@mervebestas22]

Hi! I have an important question. I am from Turkey, and I don't have any paypal card. How can I sell my dijital products in this region. If you have an answer I would be happy to hear. stressing out a lot on this issue

[@TheCelebTalkGuy]

I love this video... Do you think courses in general only work for B2B niches? My niche is on Celebrity Gossip? Not sure how I could find a correlated course niche lol

[@CathrinManning]

Hmm that’s a great question! I personally think that everyone has a skill set that someone else could possibly want to learn. So let’s say someone wants to learn to paint but doesn’t have time to attend an in person class. There may be an online course that could help them learn at home while their kid takes a nap! So I don’t think that courses are just for B2B necessarily. You just need to understand your audience and what they might want to learn from you.

[@TheCelebTalkGuy]

@@CathrinManning I agree and love the info - thanks!

[@JamieXR]

This is so relevant to what I am doing. Thank you so much :)

[@DonnaMakesArt]

Yes please. Talk about funnels and launches. Just found your channel and I'm bningeing your content haha.

[@FabiolaSuarez]

Not selling a product at the moment but still wanted to support you! 🥰

[@CathrinManning]

Awe thanks you 😭😭

[@SammyBella11]

Can you do a video on how to sell Lightroom presets from your iphone ?

[@federicoferrarelli.]

Hey Cathrin, what about selling ebook without any audience and using only influencer marketing or Fb ads??

[@rebeccaspianokeys9322]

I'm working on an eBook and looking into platforms for how to actually sell it. It never would have occurred to me to sell it on a course platform like Teachable. Most bloggers I've come across use or recommend SendOwl. Have you looked into SendOwl for any of your products that aren't actually courses (ie, the eBook and the Lightroom presets)? I'm wondering if that would price out better for you, since I don't think SendOwl charges you any percentage of your sales, I think they only charge a flat monthly fee for their service.

[@jelaniprew2104]

Really comprehensive video! Please make one on Lightroom Presets.

[@CathrinManning]

You got it! I’ll add it to my calendar 😊

[@tmcepak]

Lightroom presets yes!

[@CathrinManning]

You got it!

[@ToMyLegacy]

More videos on digital products please :)

[@JTrueBeauty]

What if you want to create a product to sell but do not have a following on social media and your not on many social media platforms?

[@oliviaw9296]

I want to sell my own preset do you know any websites to sell them on?

[@realfoodtoheal]

I'd love to see a video more in-depth about putting the Lightroom Presets up for sale. We have plenty made already, but I think there's probably an easier way than what we are doing to get them to the people🤣 I looked but I didn't see one on your channel. Don't mind if I binge on everything else you've got for now...

[@aprildoucette1160]

Thank you for this @CatherinManning , I'm trying to figure out how to put out a paid products out this year. This was helpful but slightly overwhelming if I'm honest!

[@Barelykeepingittogether]

I would love a Lightroom presets video 🔥🙌🏻

[@aliciadionechannel]

I would love to see a video about the different options of selling a pdf like your blow it up blueprint! Also, how do you make sure people don't just share it with everyone they know? xoxo

[@hossamseifameen1790]

Good and rare topic, I think you need to brand yourself as an expert and earn people trust before you start to sell something because then people would know what value they expect from you.

[@CathrinManning]

100% true! The main reason why my first course flopped was because I tried to dive into paid products too early! My audience wasn’t big enough nor were they willing to buy something from me at the time!

[@CathrinManning]

Also, thank you so much for the support on my channel! You’ve watched so many videos within the last day haha

[@FrenchinPlainSight]

Oh the amount of work solopreneurs have to do, it never stops growing. I'm finding it hard to engage my audience even in simple polls. A KZbin audience of 1500 and poll responses of 15-20. Not really enough to go on to give confidence in choosing one product to make over another. Do you recommend I wait before I create something?

[@CathrinManning]

I would wait until you have the audience and you know exactly what they are willing to buy! That way you don’t waste your time and you can end up making more money!

[@englishwithmiranda]

Hustler doesn't need a 't" anyway. Is there anyone out there using Teachable from abroad? I took a class on Teachable and they charged 20 %VAT (I'm in Austria). As a self-employed teacher, I don't actually charge VAT, but I wonder if my clients would have to pay it.

[@lexielyn1099]

I would love to see a video on presets!!

[@bwithnitin]

do we need to create website or landing page to sell digital products ?

[@jaimejames7867]

I love your style. Where are your favorite places to shop for clothes? ☺️

[@Ericagilliamsphotos]

lightroom present please!

[@valentina370_]

yes please

[@sandrabulluck1896]

Why are they taking a percentage of sales when they charge a monthly fee? Doesn’t seem right to me? You should be making all of the money you charge for your products! Thank you for sharing your information! Many blessings to you and your family!

[@englishwithmiranda]

I agree, especially since she brings in her own clients, right? I guess a small percentage is fair if Teachable helps market and advertise her courses, but I don't know if they do. Udemy takes 50% if the customer found you on Udemy, but not if you acquire them elsewhere.

[@jarkmann3977]

I really enjoy your videos. I am curious, do you need a Business License and/or a Reseller Permit? "Reality is Information created by Observation"

[@SonnyBurnett2012]

sheeeeeees so preeeeettttty!

[@TheBemused]

We have a couple of online course ideas that I am ITCHING to launch. However, I definitely want to make sure we grow our audience enough first so we’re able to taylor the course information to what our audience wants most and give us a better chance at success. -Akeiva

[@tdiia2]

Hey !! Can u make a video about upwork :) ?

[@ivlog3663]

Omg you're taxes are so low, we pay 49% greetings from Germany! Love your channel!

[@sandrabulluck1896]

Wow! So sorry Germany! If Biden TAKES the Presidency here , I’m sure we will be paying that or more! Many blessings to you and your family!

Yes to a taxes video!!

😂😂 right now I’m focusing on KZbin content but I’ll keep it in mind for the future!

[@freshnunruly9711]

@@CathrinManningI completely understand, I'm still trying to find out and focus on content for youtube, keep coming back to my photography and graphic design,

[@KyraCaroline]

You should be charging so much more!

[@SermonsSubtitled]

Why don't you sell your courses on your own website instead? Cut out the middle-man. You got the traffic and the influence to lead enough buyers to your own homepage. So why don't you do it?

[@CathrinManning]

It’s very costly to do it that way! To start, you need a site that can hold more data with all the videos you plan to upload, then you need a platform or something to organize the content and since I’m not a website designer or someone that’s great with websites I would have had to hire someone to do it. In all, the cost turned me away and I love the ease of Teachable

[@JohnBolanking]

Nice content but...you talk so fast.
