I have never been able to work out if you use a script at all. I only ask because you don't repeat yourself, you don't mumble, no errs and umms just great information communicated in a clear unambiguous way. I've followed you for years. You never disappoint. You deserve all the success you have. - Caroline
Thank you so much, friend! Your words mean so much to me ❤️ I always feel like a robot when script reading, so I rely on some bullet points and a general outline for the most part :)
Apart from great and well-structured information, I want to say how much I love your new video style! I'm sure it takes more time to plan and shoot but it's worth it! In regards to platforms for digital products, where does Teachable fit in your ecosystem? I've been using both Gumroad and Teachable for a number of years and slowly switching everything to under one roof in my Teachable school.
Thanks so much! We're keeping Teachable exclusively for courses right now. Their digital products section is just too new for me to commit just yet. I like getting all the analytics we do with Shopify since switching, the ease of applying multiple licenses/preview images, cart option/automated review emails + publishing, etc. plus controlling the shop design/experience as a whole. Keeping my eye on the new features they're adding, though!
Got it! Makes sense. I actually use "courses" on Teachable even just for downloadable products such as brushes (as I include instructional/installation video as a part of the product anyway)
Can you all help me out. I am trying to sell a small educational software program online. The buyer gets a link to download it but their computer will never finish the download because the computer doesn't recognize the .exe file and is apparently afraid it might be a threat. I have used third party platforms to sell it but the same thing happens every time the user tries to download. It won't ever complete the full download process.
My personal experience with DB is that it's gone WAY down in the last 1-2 years. They stopped doing their bundles because they were only making $20 for designers, when at one point it was $500+. Everything is just about AI over there now 😥
Oh man, I'm so sorry your experience has been so awful recently. I was surprised to see their push for AI and curious how that'll go. Have you noticed the decline specifically with certain categories of products? I think fonts are pretty safe from AI for now as well as most mockups, actions, presets and brush sets.
Hi Teela, I am wondering is all your marketing for your gum road just from UA-cam? I’ve had a shop for a year or slightly more and zero sales. I don’t have a ton of products. I post on Pinterest but I don’t think I’m getting much traffic and I can’t afford to pay for ads.
My marketing comes from UA-cam, Pinterest, Instagram, my website and email newsletter - the more variety you have, the more audiences you can reach - I don't run any paid ads to my shop 👍
Hey! If you're looking for similar POD sites, there's also printify and printed mint. If you'd like something specifically for prints, www.gicleetoday.com/ offers drop shipping and their print quality is wonderful!
Just wow! Teela I got it give it to you. You always have great videos and I love it that they are not 20 minutes long of mumble jumble but just straight to the point. But this video I really needed and answer for a lot of questions I had together with the previous video. Because I knew I didn’t want to do Etsy at all. Thank you!!
Keeping my fingers crossed they open that back up again soon, but luckily the THJ and Gumroad are more than enough to get sales coming in for someone just starting!
Hi Teela ,i want to ask because i dont know: İf we give the commercial rights to the downloaders ,this doesnt restrict our own roghts in any way? İs it true ?
I guess it’s just a matter of personal perspective. I have tried it out several times over the years. My experiences have not been good. It has been about 2 or 3 years now since I last gave it a shot. So maybe they have made their user interface better. For me it was difficult to navigate comfortably. Also I felt pressured by the payment system they use. Gumroad just seems like a more relaxed environment for my taste. Like they say…”Just start with what you know, see what sticks, and get paid.” Shopify is in it for Shopify. I do not like Etsy either. Used to in their beginning. Thank you so much for all of your videos. This one was particularly helpful. You are a fantastic artist and teacher. ❤
Teela!!! This intro - so cinematic!! This content is so so good and the videos look incredible! WAY TO GO!!!
Aww thank you so much! That means the world to us!! ❤️
THANK YOU for not talking about Etsy! Ugh. So over that platform.
Wow! I need to listen to it again - so much info. Thank you, Teela

Hi Teela, do you have recommendations to sell digital paintings or wall art (home decor) for starting out besides Society6 or Red Bubble? Thank you!

@@EveryTuesday Thank you so much Teela 🤗 I will check on them 💌

Aww thank you! I'm so glad it was helpful - yes, I'm def staying away from Etsy, too!
Respect! Impressed how much you put effort for this video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the infos😍
Great information!!!
Solid video. Thank You.
Thank you so much teela ! This video is really helpful for me ❤️. Your amazing fr goodluck for ur next video 💖
thanks Teela! I didn't even know about two of those creative market places!
Thank you so much for sharing m hoping all is well these days. Your handwriting and drawings feel pretty lovely 🥰
Thanks for the info! This was a very helpful breakdown.
thank you for the info!
Unfortunately DB aren’t excepting any more store openings atm.
Keeping my fingers crossed they open that back up again soon, but luckily the THJ and Gumroad are more than enough to get sales coming in for someone just starting!
Another great and informative video, thanks Teela!
👍
Hi Teela ,i want to ask because i dont know: İf we give the commercial rights to the downloaders ,this doesnt restrict our own roghts in any way? İs it true ?
Correct, but it’s always important to outline what your commercial license does and doesn’t cover for buyers 👍
What great information. Thanks for putting this together! One question about Shopify - is it a stand-alone or do you need to plug it into a website?
Shopify is a stand alone e-commerce platform (has its own front end and back end/all-in-one for you to get up and running) 👍
Thank you Teela 😊
I LOOOOOVE Gumroad! ❤ Hate Shopify sincerely. 👎
Would you mind sharing why you hate Shopify?
