Thank you! I am a newbie exploring about digital product and I want to start argh very helpful

[@KateHayes]

Hey friend! So great to connect with you! Rooting for you as you get started 🥰

[@KBrazil28]

I love your vibe and I've been learning a lot from your videos 😊

[@KateHayes]

Thank you. Glad you’ve found value you in it!

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Another awesome video Kate and it's actually what I needed since it is my goal in the next 3 months to start up a Etsy store and would like to sell digital products and will have to check out your list. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Kate and I already use Canva for my video Thumbnails and Endscreens.

[@KateHayes]

That’s awesome!! So glad you found it helpful. And it’s great that you’re already familiar with Canva! 👏👏

[@user-gy8nu5ch4u]

Thank you so much, Kate!

[@KateHayes]

You’re very welcome!! 🤗

[@buildhacks6658]

Love all the content!

[@KateHayes]

So glad!! ❤️🤗

[@pipecleanercraftsb]

you know, I wrote to Canva, and they pretty much wrote me back that I am not allowed to use any of their materials in digital downloads... maybe I didn't understand it right, idk. thanks for the video, you inspire me.

[@KateHayes]

Hey friend! Canva has a specific license fo their free content and a different one for pro content- both allow commercial usage under certain terms so you’ll just need to look at the applicable license and see if it allows usage for the type of digital product you’re wanting to sell. Some things are allowed and some aren’t 💛

[@pipecleanercraftsb]

@@KateHayes thank you!! that's very promising, can't wait to develop my own product, appreciate your answer!!

[@aprilfernandez7306]

Do you have a video of how to look up the applicable license ? @KateHayes

[@owwwniniwashere]

[@sircasino614]

I have a question. I made my store not long ago, but I think if someone buys my digital print, it wont give them a download link to download them from. I've been looking all over the Etsy UI, but nothing except the product preview images show where I can upload the content that I'm actually offering. Where do I upload my files to for them to download as soon as they buy?

[@spiritual005]

positive vibes kate , as a beginner what are exactly products that sell on etsy , thanks so much.

[@colinnovak4312]

I want to start selling my designs (digital) and it’s mainly just holidays and party stuff for my family and it’s always a hit! I make a lot of games and invites for a certain theme. So far I’ve only done something for a baby shower, Christmas, and Easter. I did skip a few holidays but my family is not always together so I don’t get to do stuff.

[@KateHayes]

That sounds awesome! Creating products for specific holidays is a great way to start and definitely sells well on Etsy 👏👏

[@altafhussain2723]

Much appreciate .

[@KateHayes]

Glad to help!

[@positivitydose13]

So inspiring❤

Is there a discord or Facebook help group? I’m having struggles with dpi on both digital and pod items even though they are up scaled and at proper ratios.

[@nahlagn5424]

Whene I put a pdf I just select it as digital and sell it ?

[@rebeccaraimondo3958]

Just registered for next week! Cannot wait! I really feel like I need help with my Etsy shop.

[@KateHayes]

Woohoo! 🙌🏻 So glad you’ll be joining us friend!

[@dilindrigunasena1528]

Hey how's the progress? I want to start too but etsy doesn't support my country.I could make products for anyone if interested

[@kcusa1973]

Will you offer your coaching session on a weekend or will it be available on YT afterward?

[@KateHayes]

There will be replays available until January 17th - so be sure to register to gain access :)

[@JCC286]

Kate, you have helped me so much with your videos! I recently started selling digital items. I've had a couple customers say they can't find the file or can't download it. I have done all the trouble shooting I know to do on my end and sending them the directions from Etsy, and they are still unable to access or download their files after purhcase. They are all ready to use downloads. Is it possible that Etsy can be responsible for any part of that?

[@KateHayes]

Hmm that is definitely strange! Was it more than one person saying that? You can definitely reach out to Etsy support but in the meantime just send the customers the files via email until you get it worked out.

[@JCC286]

@@KateHayes yes, just recently 2 different people, 2 different files. I have tested them and emailed them to my husband and they work fine. One said it didn't even show up in her Etsy account but she used apple pay and it took the money out of her bank account. I reached out to Etsy and have never heard back. So just send the file to their email they have on Etsy? Within the messages Etsy only allows image downloads.

[@Jennypenny-mc3ln]

Hey Kate, I just found your video and missed out on your three day class. Anyway to get a replay sent? Thanks!

[@KateHayes]

Hey friend! Unfortunately the replays have now expired but you can definitely check out the free Etsy masterclass linked in the video description- it covers some of the same topics!

[@happiness9691]

HELLO! do I need to input my credit card and pay etsy ($0.20) before I can sell my digital products?

[@KateHayes]

You will have to enter your financial info during the initial setup of your shop to get your payment account setup and complete your first listing for .20 👍🏼

[@user-cg5lo4zy6f]

I am selling digital items.But I can only sell the items that just take 5 upload because I can't figure out how to do more. But it really hasn't been a problem because there are many that only have 5.

[@KateHayes]

Are you talking about the 5 upload limit on the Etsy listing? If so, you can always use a google drive or Dropbox link to deliver more. Could also add all files to a zip folder and upload that!

[@user-cg5lo4zy6f]

@@KateHayes I can't figure out how to do it and I don't want to pay a fee.

[@user-cg5lo4zy6f]

@@KateHayes I tried to figure out how to do that and I couldn't figure out how. But tonight I found another way to do it. I put the designs on canva and then I upload them as a pdf and now I can upload as many as I want.

[@Tiffany.B.]

Can you use the edible pdf on your phone?

[@YourTotalHome]

Do you happen to have a reply of your workshop? I watched your video today for the first time, and would be interested in learning as I am a new ETSY shop owner who is selling digital mood boards.

[@KateHayes]

Hi friend! The workshop replay has expired, but I do have a free class that covers similar information. You can watch anytime here: www.kate-hayes.com/webinar-registration-page-1

How can someone buy a digital product whene it's pdf i can't understand how it happens please can someone explaine that to me

[@meagansantiago6375]

They get the pdf and download it then they can print it out or do whatever they like with it

[@daniellui4876]

There are so many videos around this subject, so I must ask: IS THERE ANYONE WHO WATCHED THIS CHANNEL'S VIDEOS AND IT WAS ENOUGH FOR HIM TO EARN MONEY OVER DIGITAL PRODUCTS???

[@blanqsparkz7545]

How to do terms and conditions for Etsy

[@KateHayes]

Hey friend! Are you asking where to see Etsy’s T&C (policies) for sellers or how to add your own to your listings?

[@blanqsparkz7545]

Yes how to add it to my own listing thank you

For sure! You can register for coaching week with the link in the video description. We start on Tuesday! :)

[@user-my6ll4bj3q]

Heyy sister I'm from india northeast side can we do also?? 😊

[@KateHayes]

Hey there! Unfortunately Etsy stopped allowing sellers from India I believe (pretty recently). However you definitely can still sell digital products online! Possibly on your own Shopify site or another marketplace like Creative Market.

[@Kiyana323]

Nobody ever talks about how to download the files. How do you make it a pdf for them to purchase? Everything is a money gimmick. Folks give you an inch and then charge for the mile. Are these videos about digital products but nobody is actually telling you and showing you step-by-step from start to finish

[@KateHayes]

Hi friend.. I teach on this in multiple videos. Check my Canva playlist :)

[@adetermined]

Maybe because it’s incredibly easy. if you don’t even know how to make your products a pdf then i’d be surprised if they were any good at all

[@EnigmaExplorers5911]

Anyone interested in partnership

[@tryiteatthatfood.5115]

Canva wants users to make it unique for commercial use. I cant just use a teddy bear element and call it a day.
