12 Digital Products That Can Make More Than Your Job

[@malyssa_]

Great video!! Lots of fun ideas. 🙂I would not recommend music prints, however - using someone else's intellectual property for profit is copyright infringement and you'll be risking legal action. Yes, many shops do it and get away with it, but they won't forever (and it's generally not a cool thing to do).

[@TimKoa]

Thanks for pointing this out Malyssa! After doing more research, you're completely right. Seems like music copyright laws are especially strict and there's no fair use exemptions like with other industries. Definitely would avoid it now as it would be a matter of time before your shop gets shut down.

[@splufford]

Yes, agree on music lyrics. Don't go there unless you want to get sued

[@OfficialSkankyRich]

Be nice please. The goal here is to make money please.

[@thatone_daniel]

This video is so helpful and well-explained! I really appreciate the time you took to break down each idea with examples and practical advice. The focus on skill-building and standing out instead of just copying others really resonated with me. If I’m between a few niches that interest me, how would you recommend narrowing it down to the best one to start with?

[@LeYuen]

Tim, can you teach us how to do research on your product that you choose before you open an etsy shop for finding a winning product? Thanks

[@TimKoa]

I went over it a bit in this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWTCg2epfZaqY6M But honestly, the only way to know you have a good idea is to test it.

[@LeYuen]

Omg.. I forget about this video. Thanks Tim. I will save it on my business playlist. I still wait for your new shop video. ☺️😁🤭

[@serendipidy]

I would not recommend people to use any lyrics from artists or movie quotes or anything trademarked, unless you have a good lawyer and loads of money

[@dinorossi6611]

I have a great phrase that I slapped TM on and need money to TM. But am selling tees already.

Could u do a room or desk setup tour?

[@TimKoa]

[@Moood007]

Is it smarter to run one shop for multiple ideas or better to run different shops for different ideas? Like if I want to sell planners but that includes study planners, budget planners, wedding planners etc is it better to create a separate shop for each category or is it better to put it all in one shop

[@TVRUN001]

Well, since they focus on a single or similar niche such as planners, I would suggest putting them in one single shop and there are various reasons behind it. Starting, it’s simpler, it reduces the work you have to put into making different shops and promoting all of them, part of selling is to not overwhelm the customers and I also suggest this because people generally do not prefer navigating to different stores for specific products when they can get them in one place. Probably also the reason companies like Amazon make a lot of sales. Next, it helps your business. if done rightly without overwhelming the customer, you can make a customer impulse purchase your product by providing options, people tend to want to try a taste of ‘every option’ so it’s highly likely that you will get good sales if it’s easier for the customer to get your product.

[@EcomCarl]

Great video! Leveraging personalization and on-demand printing can truly set a digital product apart, going into consumer desires for uniqueness and instant gratification. 🎨

Great video as always! I've always interested in making/selling digital products. Tried a few approach but didn't seem to get any traction. Thanks to this video, I have to reassess my idea and go back to the drawing board.

[@intuitivelymagician2076]

Will give it a shot

[@wataruik2244]

Idk if ppl actually tried AI generated art to say it's easy and fast. To me , it's actually not that easy, and it's a skill to be able to do it really well.

[@thatone_daniel]

is it because you still have to tell it what to create? or is it the idea part?

[@lauraantos3105]

Appreciate your videos and the knowledge you share from your personal experience.

[@binxiao6175]

Great video and partly new products I did not know in my culture. In US you can sell tons of stuff other nations do not even think off. Especially around family and festivals. I saw the animal print pillows are already down to 8 USD 😢😊. Bummer! Hahaha.

Could you maybe go into more detail about 'scripts' ? What are they? How to use them? Thank you :)

[@wecancanto]

This is so generous of you for sharing this kind of knowledge with us, really appreciate it. I've been looking for ways of how I can sell digital products and your sharing is useful. If your customers are from overseas, do you use paypal? Or Are there any other ways to manage payments? Thank you in advance! All the best with your business journey.

[@TimKoa]

I'm not sure how it works overseas. I use Etsy payments and they deposit money into my bank account.

Waiting for you to do a video on how you set up a digital product on Etsy!!

I wonder if there's a way to take a digital pod like a guide and making it an app on demand.

Thank you 🙏 I’ve been thinking about joining Skillshare so now is the time!

[@gerry40404]

Interesting, but note that these shop he takes as proof are the highest selling - so of course you "can" possibly make money with digital products and the one best sellers makes that amount, but it is not very likely you would earn anything, if you start off new. Also that is just revenue - you don´t know, what they had to spend on advertising and fees. Also this is not very passive - you have to do much advertising and marketing to get the top spot...

[@susannahleopold6788]

Agree, AND you need to calculate in the time you need to spend on this stuff.

[@misosoupafly]

Love all the digital product ideas! Honestly I’m pretty surprised how much $$ you can make from it 😅

[@jodiannes_journeys]

Thank you for all your knowledge. I am wondering how the "print on demand" blanket works? How do you find a blanket vendor that links to your graphic art and will ship? I would really like to understand a "deeper dive" into these vendors that will ship on your behalf. Thanks!

[@monaleeza3834]

Hi, what website ecommerce do you recommend?

[@apartmentinvestingforbeginners]

These are awesome ideas. Thank you for sharing

[@susannahleopold6788]

Great collection of ideas but I'd not sure you always know how much work is actually involved. Designing games for example is HARD and if you want to develop something decent you need multiple tester groups, which is time-consuming. I love the idea with print-on-demand blankets though!

[@dingus6520]

hey Tim, quick question and forgive me if ignorant why do you use a graphtec for cutting when the BN-20 could do it?

[@ottothegremlin]

I know this video is older.. and this may be a stupid question but, I don't understand how people sell items with things like custom names that they don't have to go in and change on the design themselves. How would someone go about doing that?

The music item you may come across issues with copyright in regards to using lyrics and names etc….

[@monic5844]

Hello! Thank you so much for this video, it's a game changer :) Do you have any ai websites that you would recommend to help create these products a lot easier?

[@bhowdy1]

Great video. Thanks. One note… The song lyrics are copyrighted and could get someone in legal trouble. The large music publishing companies (they own the songs, basically) are VERY litigious and have active programs searching out unlicensed merchandise.

[@CoffeeingsCsip]

I want to know that do people buy food and drinks recipes from a website online ? . How about creating a digital product on a website and selling it as a food and drink recipe ? . Will people buy a food and drink recipe from a website as a digital product ? . What is the point of view regarding this ? . Any suggestions ? . Thank You .

[@flyaiselatus]

Hi! I love cooking and baking and sometimes make money from it. The thing about recipes is that there are too many free resources out there ie youtube and I (and most cooks and bakers I know) prefer to test the recipes and see if it is any good and worth keeping. Recipes are also very subjective, my recipe and way of cooking it may differ from other cooks and bakers. If you watch cooking and baking channels in youtube, there will almost always be a recipe down in their description or links to a website for the recipe. I think that it does not only apply to food recipes but also to drinks as well. I hope this feedback helps.

Why is there so much blur in the part where you talk about milestone blankets. I reloaded the video 7x and had hard time seeing the video during that part.

[@JoshuaGK]

Surely you didn't use a product with Taylor Swift in it as an example. Fast tract to suspension.

[@TimKoa]

You're right!

[@ReiraDemeester]

Please don't promote AI generated art! I'm sure you don't have ill intentions. But please consider that artists already have it hard competing with big brands. It's also the first expense people will save on and a lot of people are not willing to pay to artists' worth. AI generated artwork is a big issue with artists who do custom work.

[@TimKoa]

Totally agree Reira. I'd choose artist-created over AI art any day. I definitely don't recommend it, but it's a big thing that's happening right now and Etsy is allowing at the moment so I do talk about it.

[@blastereosloud]

Who cares? If you want a product that an artist doesn’t or hasn’t created but someone had a vision to create through AI, why would you care? That’s like telling Target and Walmart or Amazon to shut down and ask people to stop promoting it because they can buy similar products from small businesses but pay more. Guess what, sometimes, particularly now with cost of living going up, people don’t or can’t afford to be paying more because it’s handmade. I’m tired of artists saying stop promoting AI when AI IS THE FUTURE. Get on board and adapt like society has literally done with everything else in this world that changes.

I like his style. He doesn’t need tons of flashy transitions or graphics. He is doing things just right. Btw, you have 200 subs vs his nearly 200,000 and you are here RUDELY giving advice no one asked for….not hating but maybe you should ask his advice instead of hating on him.
