STOP BEING SCARED TO SELL! LEARN TO START SELLING!

LEARN HOW TO START SELLING. [More Than a Motivational Video]
If you're scared to sell it's likely because of your own limiting beliefs and you have to learn to overcome fear and close the sale. You have to believe in what you're doing, be authentic, and communicate that to your customers.
You don't have to be a natural at sales. You can learn to sell if you can build the foundation by making a commitment to serve others as best as you can and deliver real value for them.
If you can do that you can start selling your own products or start selling your own services online, and it can make a real difference in your income.

Roberto Blake can you help out please Roberto

[@decaftumbler]

Roberto Blake Wow! Awesome. I was just thinking of the courage to create. I wanna write more here but it will be later today. 🙊

[@SaskiaLinsey]

I'm not afraid to put something online to sell. Like for example a print on demand shop. It's the other things i'm worried about like what is the best shop to start with, starting price, at which point would you have to register yourself, tax..i usually don't see anyone talking about this. I live in Europe so there are probably different rules. Also i would like an Etsy shop but i believe you need to have a kvk number at some point if the shop is doing great. Shipping costs to different countries and finding the right companies to make for example enamel pins. I guess it depends on what type of shop you open. But it's things like that which hold me back.

[@RobertoBlake]

Europe has different rules, but there is usually something like a small business association or guild or you can look up books that apply to your location that can help you sort through the legal side of things, because that could be tricky otherwise, or directly reach out to someone in the UK already doing it and ask for advice.

[@RobertoBlake]

Write Everyday for 30 Minutes if nothing else.

[@Halonablack]

I love your strategy of giving away the basics and selling the more advanced stuff. People tend to stay with teachers they like.

[@StuffedBox]

My fear is wasting time and not getting any sales, but I guess that goes hand in hand with believing in yourself and product. Thanks for this video!

[@iamQRE3D]

Honestly whats holding me back from selling is being an artist, Im not sure if people want to by my art, and setting things up so I can sell and sell effectively to create a passive income and really succeed as an artist. Thats the main thing, I am not sure if I have a product I can sell and people want it or I just lack the confidence in myself to sell. Somewhere in there Im sure of OH, and copyrighting my ish so I can I cover myself and etc.

[@paulameninato8948]

People are definitely buying art at all sorts of price ranges. The main thing is credibility. When collectors buy, they're not just buying your work bc they like it but also because they want to make an investment. If you stop making art tomorrow, that piece has lost it's market share. For that reason it's a huge risk to buy art from less established artists but it definitely happens. My main advice is to keep your side job while focusing on building a name for yourself, make connections with galleries, and start selling your work at lower prices (500-700$.) You can also consider making drawings instead of paintings or sculptures since they are cheaper to produce, or to make smaller pieces. If you want to make a living selling your work you may have to move, since the galleries that sell large volumes of work are in big cities like New York, LA, and London. You need to be showing up at these galleries on a regular basis if you want opportunities to sell your work. If you want to sell your work online instead of galleries, look into selling prints and really focus on growing your audience. The amount of people who will buy your work, or even show up to openings, is small so you will need a large audience along with a good marketing plan to make enough to cover rent. I would also look into making custom prints. Feel free to email me if you have any more questions. That's the best way to reach me at [e-mail] Hope that helps!

[@scarlettwieliczki9086]

Hello, I’m an art consultant and I work with artists on issues like the ones you’re presenting here. 1. Keep sharing your art with people. Don’t worry about if they want to buy it just keep sharing it and producing it. People gravitate towards the energy they are missing in their life and if you’re producing at a frequency they desire you won’t need to think twice because they will come looking for what you have. 2. Copyright infringement is a real thing and there are ways to safeguard your work online so it can’t be stolen with screenshots etc. 3. Believe in yourself and you’ll go far. Afronovausa is the brand name. Feel free to reach out with questions I’d be happy to help.

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

There's a lot of people in the world with a LOT of different tastes - I can pretty much guarantee that if you hustle on your craft, someone out there is willing to give you money for it.

[@TinaMarieJ]

BasiMental You can do it!!! Everyone thinks like that no matter what our talent is that we are selling. I always wished I was a talented artist, that's a gift you can definitely get out there

[@michaelsmall8248]

I would like to see some of your work I'm allso an artist..

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

I needed this video today! I’m looking forward to all these videos! You are so awesome Roberto!

[@RobertoBlake]

Thanks so much!

[@AdrienneBennett]

Yes.. Thank you for this encouraging word. I am building a food photography business for local food businesses and the overcoming imposter syndrome is real... This video is exactly what I need to hear. What holds me back with selling is feeling like I am bothering someone or being too pushy. Did I email them too much, did I pitch a company too quick, a lot time I worry myself right into a place of in action. I want to do better a growing my business and not distracting myself with fear and worry. Ty again for this reminder.

[@wiskyBOY123]

I am glad you make THESE types of videos. It may seem repitative at times, and you may be criticized from others or critique yourself, but hearing it enough times CAN and DOES really help. Keep up the good work and keep encouraging us to make something awesome!

[@BeanieDraws]

At the start, Roberto reveals his TRUE identity. SUPERoberto! I do know in terms of PASSIVELY selling my art now, there's nothing stopping me. I'm talking to a professional now to figure out what's getting in the way of client sales and taking on commissions. I programmed myself poorly in my early years which set me up poorly for now, but I'm in the process of re-programming myself now. Especially the last few months I've had subscribers give me a pretty good indication that if I provided products, they'd buy them. And actually, lately the products I want to sell aren't even FOR my subscribers first and foremost. They're for ME. There's pretty limited choice in awesome Dinosaur themed clothing that adults could feel comfortable wearing without looking childish and that's something I want to change. I want something for ME to wear, and I'm sure if I'd wear it, anyone would. The only other thing getting in the way now... is finding where the heck my original artworks and files are stored on my hard drive so I can re-upload them and optimise them for best performance :)

[@innocentkboateng]

I recently realized that I would have made some cool $$ if I had started selling earlier, I was afraid and had no confidence, once I got rid of that and started, gosh I'm proud of myself, thanks for the guidelines!

[@thebeatagp]

Great video Roberto. Selling things has certainly been a hurdle I have had to overcome. Because I am a minister selling an online course that teaches people how to study the Bible, people already assume that I’m in this for the money. So I have allowed that to slow me down a bit.

[@ArtbyGalen]

I think my main holdback on selling products and courses on things is just the whole self doubt... that nagging feeling of "what if I forget something fundamental in the course... or what if it's not up to par"

[@AlexiaM]

Art by Galen same

[@JorgeAcostaPesca]

This! 100% this! Great video Roberto! I took your advice about selling something about 9 months a go when I only had 800 subs... Now i am able to make a living out of selling my products, I make 30 times what I make on adsense every month. And the business keeps growing. Thank you!!

[@darrentaylordigital]

Love this! 100% right. Sales is so crucial, especially for small KZbinrs like me using KZbin as social proof!

[@paulameninato8948]

You da man. Seriously this was spot on!

[@BlessedAssurance949]

Super excited to see where you're going with this! I was clicking the bell not long before you asked!

[@LamontTyson]

This was such a great motivational video and it's kind one of my dilemmas with my channel. I am at 92k and have never sold anything and understand I am missing out. Thanks for the great video.

[@jacquelyncruz1]

Excellent video. Thank you for such helpful content!

[@RobertoBlake]

I'm checking the Poll and about 60% of you are more are not selling yet. What is holding you back?

[@thehickorystump5797]

I am very new and actually I am afraid that I have started selling too soon.

[@ScriptedSagas790]

My ideas are all over the place, doubt that someone is already doing what I'm doing, and just starting.

[@kendrickjg]

I am a software developer looking to start my own software company selling all kinds of different business tools. I guess I'm just not sure who to even sell to. I'm thinking of targeting the small business market but I don't know the right way to approach them.

[@MakeupDivaMesha]

I have a rather valid flow on another platform but I suppose I struggle with being confident and perhaps criticized.

Really great info!!! Thanks! Loved bring value, fill need and serve them first! Good reminder

[@affiliatehighlite4564]

Good info man this is powerful and true

[@veeare6880]

Really needed to hear this. Been afraid of selling merch through printful bc Id like it to be more of brand one day. Im afraid of criticism in quality & how it's not as "professional" than doing everything myself from a printing company & shipping stuff myself. Im deciding to use it for now due to budget which took me weeks to decide. Just hoping it works out with my audience. Hoping to start by the beginning of May.

[@PeachesChrenko]

This is awesome info and encouragement thank you!

[@ZachInman]

Totally agree!! Jumping into selling my products and services has been a great decision not only monetarily, but also for the overall legitimacy of my brand.

[@sallykabukuru1638]

Amazing video & advice..you hit the nail on the head..! You Said it...! Just Start..! I will do that!

[@SaraMakesArt]

It's not that I'm scared to sell. I just have a really hard time getting people to buy stuff from me, lol. Seriously, the message I keep getting, albeit indirectly, is that I need to build more of a reputation for myself.

[@wiskyBOY123]

Awesome. Was waiting for a vid from you.

[@RobertoBlake]

Might Be a Double Upload Today! Or At Least a Livestream, haven't decided!

[@indeedlove]

Thank you so much for these videos, I appreciate them so much! They are truly lighting a flame under my feet! Just letting you know how motivating and inspiring you are! Thanks again and have an awesome day! ☀️

[@amydiazhollis6642]

"Fear and doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will." I dont know who said it, but this has been resonating with me. I have been studying how to crush it on KZbin for forever now, but am TERRIFIED to get in front of the camera and put myself out there. So, thank you for this video, Roberto. Maybe one day I'll get over my camera terror.

[@DimiHard]

As always, you're right. I'll need to come up with my own line of products for filmmaking. Thanks Roberto 😊

[@GordIsman]

Time to get going on course number 1 of 3 that I want to deliver. What's held me back is lack of focus on the project. I'd also say, dealing for feelings of overwhelm - so much to do! In the end, getting past excuses, setting goals/priorities and execution (i.e. action) are required to get me there. Thank you for making this video!

[@give_peas_a_chance]

Excellent advice, thank you.

[@dynamicyogajourney7907]

[@WishedUponAVlog]

Roberto, this is so true. I have worked in sales and fundraising and the days you felt down and less confident, it showed in the sales when I had full confidence I got tons. It also helps believing like you said in your video! When I worked in fundraising I genuinely believed in the cause. Excellent upload Roberto. My Daddy would always say, go for it Julie just go for it ha ha, he is so right.If you can't believe in yourself you won't be able to sell shit. Keep up your hard work, I know you are busy person so I appreciate the time and effort you put into doing your youtube videos! Look forward to the email. marketing video. Julie from Ireland.

[@MuttFitness]

Thanks for this video! This is one of the issues I have.

[@LookInward]

Thanks for the tips.. 💯

[@RonaldLBanks]

Roberto this is great advice! I need to look at the no's as meaning not right now. Confidence is key, you're absolutely right. I use to be afraid to sell my poetry books, but the more I shared my writing the more confident I became. I've also started writing for others and telling their story through poetry (providing value). Thanks once again Roberto!

[@BasedShaman]

Incredibly inspiring, and so on point. Something I want other creators to keep in mind is that whatever you base most of your content on, your audience may naturally tie it to you as a person.

[@KevHick]

Damn I really needed this Bro! Thank you!

[@hockeypucknut77]

It's because of you and Minority Mindset that I decided at the end of last year to start building my own company. I still love graphic design and I'm going to use that skill to help the hockey community build and grow as well as freelance at the same time. You inspired me to push my limits and to not settle for a 9-5 job but to do something that means a lot to me. Thank you! -Mitchell Owner of River Rat Hockey ;)

[@PKTEK]

"Done is better than Perfect!" Seriously, just get it done. I have to tell myself that every day or I procrastinate and get distracted. I use my KZbin channel as a platform to sell my custom nerf mods by bringing people in through tutorials that I provide for free. I don't even consider it selling. I consider it a service.

[@a7xfanben]

Thanks for this

[@BayouKingsEntertainment]

great video Roberto. you always are right on point with what struggles I'm dealing with, and I think your top notch to listen and learn from, you speak in way that's easy to comprehend and you have a safe going to look out for your people vibe. You my people Roberto 4 sure. Keep it up . peace and luv

Also I'm designing shirts and prints since a lot of people want things they can wear or hang up on their wall for 20$

[@timothylegend4293]

Wow this is great advice Roberto!! I am honestly getting ready to launch my first merch line for spring and I was having doubts like you said, but this video has motivated me to stick to my idea and move forward with it. I am going to make a sales video soon, and tag my friends and family about my launch and hold pre orders. Thanks for the tips! Timing was on point

[@laurieburkett2955]

I was scared to sell my designs and artwork. The beginning of this year I took a leap of faith and started selling my designs. Three years prior to this I slowly, and looking back I wish I had done more, but I slowly built my portfolio by submitting my art pieces to various art shows around the world, for free, knowing I wouldn't make any money on my artwork and that I wouldn't get my pieces back. Now, what is my next step? I think what Roberto talked about in a previous video is what I need next. #digitalstreetteam

[@ginnywilliams8159]

Another great video Roberto!

[@SkateboardingMotivator]

Thank You.

[@rafvelazquez]

I loved this video! Thank you. I can't wait to see your upcoming videos on learning the fundamentals of setting up an online business for success. What's holding me back is the lack of understanding where/how to get started. I get overwhelmed with all of the information, business models and "shiny objects" that are thrown at us daily. I wish I had a systematic step by step approach on making my first dollar online. 😊

[@RobertoBlake]

Start with narrowing what you're going to commit to without burning out, that is one of the first things you really need to sort out with yourself. Next buy the book Start Your Own Business 6th Edition.

[@rafvelazquez]

Thank you for your advise Roberto. I will definitely check out the book you recommended. I love the concept of affiliate marketing in promoting products for Amazon/Clickbank so I'm hoping to dive into this business model right away. I will check out your video playlists to gather more information on this subject.

Man, right now, I'm not selling because all my time is spent at my day job instead of finishing my projects. I know I can make some great videos and photos if I could just focus on my passion!

[@paulameninato8948]

There's three main reasons I'm not selling (as an artist.) The first one is lack of trust/credibility since you need to establish a name for yourself before you can sell expensive paintings (the ones people really wanna buy.) The second is my sales skills are currently lacking and the final one is that most of the people who are interested in my work don't have an extra couple hundred dollars lying around that they can spend on my work (or at least they're not willing to do it now.) What this meant for me was that I had to go back and get a side job so I can paint on the side while I make a name for myself.

[@ToKiniAndy]

I haven't watched this yet (but I will). I just want to let you know that the thumbnail for this video is amazing! My eyes were drawn immediately to that yellow. Drowned out all other thumbnails on my home screen.

[@fredrikbeckker125]

I think we just have to accept that everyone doesn't want to buy from is, but that shall not be a reason for not selling. And if someone calls us a sellout we don't have to take it to heart😉

This was excellent man. I am preparing some courses to start selling. And was not 100% sure on if they will be received or not. But I also realized the hardest part is just doing it. The way I figure it. Is much like KZbin. With time the quality of the product will get better. As the audience grows more resources can go into the product. And ultimately it all starts with just getting the process started. Excellent video!
