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).
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.
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?
I went over it a bit in this video here: ua-cam.com/video/w3_R4sH1w-A/v-deo.html But honestly, the only way to know you have a good idea is to test it.
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.
Great video! Leveraging personalization and on-demand printing can truly set a digital product apart, going into consumer desires for uniqueness and instant gratification. 🎨
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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!
Hey Tim. Thanks for the valuable content. Can you tell us how you market your Etsy Shops? I can imagine if you start out doing etsy, noones gonna notice u.
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!
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...
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.
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?
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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.
It seems certain stocks are undervalued, flying under the radar despite their potential. You can't help but wonder when the market will recognize their true worth. How can I invest $600K wisely to ensure our future security?
It's frustrating when market inefficiencies persist, particularly with undervalued stocks. Consider consulting an advisor for smarter investing decisions.

Hey Tim , really nice video ! I was wondering if i could help you monitize your audience and help you build a community for your audience , let me know if that sounds interesting for you man ?
Hii bro, As a friend i suggest you,you should hire a professional video editor. The editing quality of video needs a lot of improvement. Please focus on this.
He’s giving out useful information and his approach is precise and simple. As someone with ADHD I never finish a video when there’s so many cuts and different angles because it’s over stimulating.
I’d prefer to watch a video with lesser editing quality but better information, than one with poor info and better editing. Having both is great but I’m not after “pretty to look at” when I’m researching what I need to know.
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.

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

Could u do a room or desk setup tour?
I'll add it to the list!
Thanks for sharing all those ideas! The video did inspire me on how to generate the products of my own 😊
Glad you got some value :)
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
I went over it a bit in this video here: ua-cam.com/video/w3_R4sH1w-A/v-deo.html But honestly, the only way to know you have a good idea is to test it.
Omg.. I forget about this video. Thanks Tim. I will save it on my business playlist. I still wait for your new shop video. ☺️😁🤭
So much great information! Thank you Tim!!
Glad you found it helpful Todd!
Another great video Tim, thanks very much.

Just finished a day of making and packing 80+ stickers🤦♀️ I really need a shop for digital products 😂
Really? That is great. On Etsy ?
@@dinorossi6611 yes, on Etsy. Occasionally you’ll get an order from someone who wants every sticker sheet in your shop lol
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
I have a great phrase that I slapped TM on and need money to TM. But am selling tees already.

As well as Etsy taking money, printify charges so much for shipping so my products end up way too expensive to sell well :’(
Appreciate your videos and the knowledge you share from your personal experience.

I'm not sure how it works overseas. I use Etsy payments and they deposit money into my bank account.
Could you maybe go into more detail about 'scripts' ? What are they? How to use them? Thank you :)

Will give it a shot
I'm not sure how accurate this info is, but I remember reading that patent illustrations could not be copyrighted, so they are all free to reproduce.
Waiting for you to do a video on how you set up a digital product on Etsy!!
Thank you 🙏 I’ve been thinking about joining Skillshare so now is the time!
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?
I wonder if there's a way to take a digital pod like a guide and making it an app on demand.
hey do you mean like an app extension?
These are awesome ideas. Thank you for sharing

Hi, what website ecommerce do you recommend?
Love all the digital product ideas! Honestly I’m pretty surprised how much $$ you can make from it 😅

Agree, AND you need to calculate in the time you need to spend on this stuff.
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.
is it because you still have to tell it what to create? or is it the idea part?
Very insightful ...
Thanks
The music item you may come across issues with copyright in regards to using lyrics and names etc….
hey Tim, quick question and forgive me if ignorant
why do you use a graphtec for cutting when the BN-20 could do it?
Maaaaan you got me with Diesel part :D :D
What is the Name of your digital Etsy shop? 😍
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?

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.
Skill share is a money grabber
Great video, but people are getting sued for using song lyrics, so I definitely wouldn't recommend doing that!
Surely you didn't use a product with Taylor Swift in it as an example. Fast tract to suspension.
You're right!
So easy to say...

Thanks for comment Divy. Not looking to do that at the moment though :)
AI generated art and POD on Etsy needs to go.
I understand AI generated art and I agree! Honest question though, what's your issue with POD?
What's the issue with AI generated art?
Does Etsy allow AI art?
@@TimKoaI don’t have a problem with POD itself.
@@emmasly123 it’s putting REAL artists with actual skills out of a job? And AI will be putting many more people out of jobs in the future.
Great ideas but if people are as successful at this as you claim. Wouldn't taxes be a nightmare? How do you prepare for that?
by talking to a tax professional when you start making money?…. Seems pretty straight forward.
Please dont use another movie clips. Just u talking is enough
stock videos are cheesy, and done
