My friend from collage started selling homemade cakes and desserts. She bakes so good that most professors and classmates preferred to order from her than from a bakery. She got overwhelmed though, because it was hard to keep up with her biology major classes and her side business. She graduated and now is teaching people and teens how to bake as part of her business. 🏆

Such a down to earth person who gives information that is actually helpful 😊A very rare thing to find in social media these days. Thank you for the good content.

I opened my shop in October 2023, selling digital products. To this day, I'm still figuring out what strategies are effective and which ones aren't. It wasn't until late December 2023, nearly three months after uploading my initial six designs, that I made my first sale. Surprisingly, after that initial sale, it only took about a week to make two more sales. The momentum continued to grow: in January, I reached a total of 22 sales, followed by 46 sales in February and 52 in March.

Interestingly, I didn't make any changes during this time—no adjustments to tags or titles, and my product presentation remained basic, with just two pictures of each design and a simple title. Now, I'm eager to start my second Etsy shop, but I realize I still have a lot to learn about how Etsy functions, why my first shop succeeded, and why sales picked up so quickly after that initial breakthrough. And acutally.. Im kinda lost :D

I was viewing the 28-minute video without realizing it. I don't usually leave comments on videos I watch, but this one is truly inspiring. Thank you for meaningful and enlightening content. ❤ God bless!

[GlitterbyMaja]

I like your videos. I feel like they are most genuine. How you deliver your videos is so calm. The message is clear and clean with no bells and whistles. Plus I love how you urge people to really try. I've been hitting red for the last 2 years. I'll spin the wheel again! 🤞wish me luck! 😅

Finally, someone who preaches profiting from your passion and skills, knowledge and solution to a pain point.
You rock. Been inspired by you since you started selling stickers…
People buy people.

Ive been selling digital products for 2 and a half years on etsy and have been able to go full time last year, and loved what you had said. Ive been wanting to start another and trying to see what to do but with ai everywhere you want the easy route. To do it right I agree completely with what you said by finding and becoming a part of your target audience group. While i do run etsy adds, my social media presence with such people has brought the most customers. In the end, digital products are great for people who dont have space to run a buisness out of their house, or move too much to get a office of sorts to make your products out of.

LOVED the analogy of spinning the wheel and the green vs. red slices. Then, you followed up by saying that it's all a bunch of learning experiences and everything builds upon those experiences. This is gold. Thank you.

I’ve watched and rewatched these videos so many times. Please keep making great relevant content. I absolutely adore your work.

[Gabriel-neet]

Man, your content is soo good! I was looking for a step by step guide and you style o thinking and tips made me not only understant the products ads I see on a daily basis, but also broke some beliefs i had, so that probabily is gonna sve me lots of time when starting my own online store. Thank you so much, I wish you lots of success!

[AndriaMrs]

WOW, all teachers should be like you. You are so so easy to watch and listen to, and to learn from. I have been going to start my shop for don't know how long, but frightened of failing. But now, well now I am giving it a go. If I don't try, I will never know will I? You inspire with confidence 🙂. Thank You x

Thanks for sharing, Tim! I’ve been binge watching videos about selling digital products and I appreciate that you give clear cut advice from actual experience. I just posted my first printable last night and just realized that I’ve priced it far too low. It feels uncomfortable pricing higher when everyone else with tons of sales are selling for $1 or even less.

[kristyashleyart]

Thank you Tim, I appreciate your gentle manner of speaking and the way you share information. Your approach makes me feel as though I could try and do things and see some success as well..eventually. Because when I see creators like yourself who are more chill in their approach -I think maybe there might be a place for me too. Thanks!

[dianemaines]

Honestly you have the best videos on YouTube. So refreshing and informative.

[Pepcgoogoo]

I really appreciate your experience, honesty, and calm natural way of speaking to your audience. THANK YOU!!

Feels so warm when watching the last part. I can see that you’ve taught us with a sincere heart, not just for the sake of adsense. Am so glad that your video came up to my timeline. Respect. Thank you.

[kaitlynbolland]

This video is SO HELPFUL. I've only been researching digital marketing for a few weeks but I've been struggling with where to start. You are so knowledgeable and encouraging. I really appreciate how you've simplified concepts I've been feeling overwhelmed by. Thank you!

[michaeldavis]

Tim,

First off... Thank you for the amazing content! Hearing your concept of the red-green spin meant the world to me. I've been down for a while but hearing that made me want to get back up and keep trying to provide people the value they want. Thank you for all you do! 

Your fan,  
Michael

Your monologue about the spinning wheel at the end was the most heartfelt thing I've heard today. Even though you might not be aware of my existence, I want you to know that I really needed it, and it helped me a lot.

[mahanoor]

You’re so genuine and authentic, I’ve watched many of your videos and they always are informative. God bless you
