The strangest thing happens to me, I am a mother who homeschools mostly I do tasks by hand, I also have experience in accounting for a business, and I also made several examples by hand when I was in charge of a trailer park, I am good at doing manual things like making a Shrek themed birthday party I can draw and do it on cardboard and make several decorations on that theme, I like to investigate, also organize school supplies, but I don't know how to do it digitally or how to make money from what I know my family and friends always tell me that I would be a millionaire if I used everything I know but well I think I need more experience, any suggestions
8:08 really great advice. Someone once told me that “everyone has an audience” but they just have to find you. That has helped me start so many creative projects with confidence.
I love the fact that you are honest and realistic about the state of the competition in the digital space cause most videos look so appealing and one only learns that not all that you see is true.
I thought, "I'm going to give her masterclass + templates a try, because she seems so honest and friendly!" And then I realized that just proves your point about building a following by being yourself!
I've heard about digital products but I literally have no "expertise", I was a warehouse worker for 15 years just lifting and moving 50+lb boxes until my back gave out and my employer tried their hardest to prevent me from seeing a doctor. So I just called out of work until they fired me and started doing doordash and ubereats. I make ok money ddoing that but not enough to support myself and a family even if I had the help of a significant other. Anyways I'm typing this while watching this video and it makes sense if you have a specific niche or expertise to provide and capitalize on, but if you have spent your whole life just wage slaving basic labor jobs to survive and don't have 6+ months to a few years to learn a new profitable skill the advice she gives in this video is just vauge usless bs. Sorry for much frustrated drunk rant, maybe I'm "mentally ill" but everything online feels like it's gaslighting me to trust or believe some complete bs so I can waste my life working at a useless job and buying their bs courses.
I hate capitalism too so I feel your pain. I play the game because I was born into it. I wish we had universal health care and I’m sorry for all you’ve been through. I have a whole module in my membership that helps you find the thing you want to teach. It can be something as easy as meal prep. Not saying you would teach that specifically but giving you an example to show you it doesn’t need to be some big expert skill. And if you don’t want to teach online you don’t have to! Don’t want you to feel pressured. Hope your back is getting better 💖
Hi! You have just described a treasure of experiences that you have that may help someone else. It's you and who you are. The real deal. Thanks for your reflection 😉
You're so right. I've been on Etsy for 14 years, peaked in 2022 and scrambling to get back to that success every since, all while paying for a website that I barely look at. It's time for us to take our audience and our time and find our own corner of the internet
Thanks so much for this video. I’m planning on selling from my own website in the future but I honestly started with Etsy because the taxation for digital products in Europe isn’t that easy and Etsy does that for you. But I’ll definitely work on growing my following to start my own shop someday.
Your New BFF Subbie lol!! I just found you today and you my friend have just told me WHY i NEED to Stop thinking about ETSY! lol And WHY i need to take youtube MORE serious! THANKS! NOW i will just BINGE your content while i work on my embroidery orders lol
5:27 It's my first time watching you, so yes, keep on saying it! and thanks, I appreciate the masterclass/webinar ;) and also thanks for saying you do this all on you tube. This is what I'm hoping to do too.
To be honest, I don't think that a youtube channel where I show my personality is what fits me. However, having a personality behind the product is what works best, whether on Etsy or anywhere else.
Love it! Choose your hard. Thanks for your efforts sharing your skills with others. And you gave away the #1 way to make consitent sales. Build an Email list. And I am a firm believer in being you. I will check out your Training. ❤
Thank you for this great content. I really like your authentic style. Best take away I got was not depending on a platform you have no control over (Etsy, Amazon).
Thanks 👍 Molly for sharing this awesome video and saving me from the mistake of selling on Etsy, Amazon and Shopify when it comes to digital products. Love 🥰 the video and new subscriber and love 💗 Molly.
I tried another class that taught selling printable on Etsy, and other platforms. I created and listed printables, but have not had one sale in a year. I would like digital ideas. I would also like to know what program do you use to collect emails and automatically send out the information. Thank you.
I tried for years with TH-cam and nothing. Etsy was like my 2nd job til they axed my account. Niw i cant find a place to sell my digital downloads that already has the traffic etsy has. I feel like giving up. Im a single mom to a disabled toddler and im losing hope for everything.
The thing about TH-cam is it’s not as easy as posting videos consistently. You want to learn a strategy from somebody currently having success on the platform.
Great information. I just finished writing a writing journal and someone said I need to make it a digital prouduct and create youtube channel to discuss and do writing insights. The book is a dream journal and learning to set yourslef up for the upcoming year. I have other digital products as well that go along with the book.
I have my own website with Wordpress and I am selling my own digital templates I also designs branding, marketing and website templates. But I also like designing invitation templates and stationary templates
Can you learn everything inside my program online perfectly curated step by step with a curated networking community and weekly live Q&A calls with me? No :) people buy online education everyday it’s a $300+ billion dollar industry
That’s like asking why I go to Burger King over McDonald’s when they across the street from each other lol. You build your brand and your loyal audience will buy from u🤷🏽♀️ just my opinion. All in preference and who or what brand you choose to rock with and support if that matters to u more then how much you’re spending
I know some states charge sales tax on digital products and some foreign countries do too. How do you handle that or do you not sell to people in those locations? I know that is one advantage and one less headache selling on Etsy. Thoughts?
I’m confused. If not Etsy or another platform where you list your digital products…then where do your followers from your email list go to shop your products? I have a TH-cam channel but still need to create an email list….but I’m not connecting the ‘where’ my followers go to purchase if not Etsy or another shop or platform
TH-cam > freebies > email list. In the emails I think to “sales pages” and “checkout pages” and that’s where people put in their payment information to purchase. I teach all this in my membership and even give sales page, checkout page and full funnel templates etc. If you’re interested 💖
You would need to have a sales page. Most email marketing platforms give you landing pages and simple ecommerce solutions built right in. I use Getresponse personally. I do have a full e-commerce website as well but a landing page with a simple checkout solution will work.
Hi, I've just stumbled along this video so I haven't really watched any others, Since you don't recommend Etsy, what platform would you recommend to list your digital products on please? I'm leaning towards having my own store but since I'm new, I'm unsure about driving traffic to the store.
Thank you, In what moment I can create an account in Google Adsense? Is it free to creat that? I am new with this despite of I am a TH-cam Channel small @@MollyKeyser
How do you deal wirh EU and UK tax and vat? I’m thinking of using Etsy just as my checkout and payment processor because I’m in the uk and they deal with all this (I think, still working it out!)
Most payment processors allow for that. I use a checkout software called “systeme” and they’re based in Europe. You can get a free account by using the link in the description of my video
Hi Molly! I just met you and I love your channel already! I'll be back for the training but I'm catching up on my Print on Demand tasks and Amazon KDP (not low content). I have decades of experience with e-commerce but not much success because, among other things, I have severe Social Anxiety Disorder. My personality and sense of humor are quite similar to yours and I even used to be the lead singer of a popular band. But now I wouldn't dream of appearing on camera. Ever. Do you have any suggestions for running a faceless TH-cam channel for my digital products, letting the 'real me' still shine through with voiceovers, and growing an email list that way? Thanks for being you and being upfront with your audience about the perils of OPP (Other People's Platforms😂).
I explain exactly how to sell in the video :) Grow an audience (TH-cam) > move followers to email subscribers (freebie funnel) > sell via email / checkout page
Do you have any videos on how to construct videos and topics to lead people to more of you content? For example at the end you encourage people to check out one video that pairs well with this video, but I know clicking those suggestions is highly beneficial engagement for a channel. Would be interesting to see behind that curtain.
I'm a wedding cake designer. I have an extremely thick southern accent and I am not attractive. I am not a social person. I am a behind the scenes person. I wouldn't even know what to sell.
People love real, so how you look and your accent won't hold you back from success. But based on your comment it doesn't seem like you want to do this and that's ok! Not everyone has to start a digital products business :)
I don’t like being on camera either. I don’t wake up and go “I can’t wait to be on camera!” 😂 but I do love educating and helping people and growing my TH-cam and biz. My advice is that we won’t enjoy everything we do to reach our biz goals because this isn’t a hobby :) it’s a business. Go back and look at my first videos. I hated how I looked I hate everything about those videos and I hated them while I was making them too. But I knew if I kept going and kept getting better little by little with each video that someday I’d be proud of my videos and I now am 💖
My biggest takeaway is just being me! I'm a caregiver and herbalist and want to share what I've learned from my past 20 years in these fields, specifically in the areas of autism and adhd. Not gonna lie, its a bit scary to think of going on camera since the Lord chose to make me useful instead of attractive. But my clients love me despite my many physical flaws...hopefully my audience will be able to look past those as well!
“The lord chose to make me useful instead of attractive.” Picture yourself as a little girl, would you say this to her? That little girl is still inside you 💖 try and be kinder to yourself! Has somebody been saying this to you? If so I don’t think they need to be in your life. Beauty comes in all forms, don’t let capitalistic media make you feel less then. You’re beautiful AND smart, not one or the other.
I teach that step by step in my FCC membership www.freedomcreator.co/club?el=youtube But I do also have a more videos on my channel about growing an email list as well

Hi! You have just described a treasure of experiences that you have that may help someone else. It's you and who you are. The real deal. Thanks for your reflection 😉
Hi, Molly.Thanks.
I'm.from.the Philippines.😊
Hi molly,
I'm a Bangladeshi.
How can i sell this?
Have any paid course??
Please reply🙏
You're so right. I've been on Etsy for 14 years, peaked in 2022 and scrambling to get back to that success every since, all while paying for a website that I barely look at. It's time for us to take our audience and our time and find our own corner of the internet
yes!! create your own corner of the internet, it's soooo worth it!!
I am watching your video again but now I am listening this with Spanish audio automatically. Great idea. Doble voice.
Isn’t the new auto dub cool?
Thanks so much for this video. I’m planning on selling from my own website in the future but I honestly started with Etsy because the taxation for digital products in Europe isn’t that easy and Etsy does that for you. But I’ll definitely work on growing my following to start my own shop someday.
Such a great video! And YES!! Wonen over 40 are tired! Work smarter not harder definitely appies to us😂 Loving your content Molly, keep it up ❤
Agreed! We need fruitful businesses AND naps 😂💖
@@MollyKeyser hah! many many naps 🤣
Thanks for your refreshing personality!! Such a change from what we may find when people talk about how to make money :)
Appreciate that thank you!
Very informative & quick paced - thx! I am intrigued by creating automated emails.... much appreciated for the lead!
Your New BFF Subbie lol!! I just found you today and you my friend have just told me WHY i NEED to Stop thinking about ETSY! lol And WHY i need to take youtube MORE serious! THANKS! NOW i will just BINGE your content while i work on my embroidery orders lol
So glad you found the channel!! 💖 and yay embroidery!
Great video! I subscribed right away. I'm looking forward to more content from you. Keep being yourself! Love it!
5:27 It's my first time watching you, so yes, keep on saying it! and thanks, I appreciate the masterclass/webinar ;)
and also thanks for saying you do this all on you tube. This is what I'm hoping to do too.
Awesome, thank you!
Build your own following! Build your own following! Build your own following!👍
I love this. I really do think with hard work anyone can achieve what they set their mind too. Finding the right niche however is a struggle.
In your opinion, would building a website with Shopify or wix be good to sell the digital products? And then build the email list from there?
How will you grow an email list from a website? You have to send traffic to a website to get website traffic :) TH-cam > freebie > email list > sales
To be honest, I don't think that a youtube channel where I show my personality is what fits me. However, having a personality behind the product is what works best, whether on Etsy or anywhere else.
How do you do the email list? Thanks
What are your thoughts on "faceless" videos?
Never done them so can’t speak from experience on them.
I really liked the idea of the email sequence and CHOOSE MY HARD - thank you, I will 🙂
Love it! Choose your hard. Thanks for your efforts sharing your skills with others. And you gave away the #1 way to make consitent sales. Build an Email list. And I am a firm believer in being you. I will check out your Training. ❤

@MollyKeyser you're welcome. Enjoyed the Training and the Price surprised me. In a good way! 😀
Awesome glad to hear it!
Enjoyed this video… but there is no ‘next video’ on my upper right screen to tap on
Sometimes that happens if you’re viewing on mobile, TH-cam glitch
New subbie. Thank you for your encouragement & knowledge
Thanks for the video, Please have a video with step by step instructions how to upload.
Thank you for this great content. I really like your authentic style. Best take away I got was not depending on a platform you have no control over (Etsy, Amazon).
Awesome takeaway thanks for watching!
Just want to started in Etsy and Amazon, but the only register rules made me headaches.
Muchas gracias Molly. Eres un genial.
¡Gracias por mirar!
Thanks 👍 Molly for sharing this awesome video and saving me from the mistake of selling on Etsy, Amazon and Shopify when it comes to digital products. Love 🥰 the video and new subscriber and love 💗 Molly.

It IS refreshing! Thank You 🎉
Quote of the day: "CHOOSE YOUR HARD!" 🙌
Isn’t the market over saturated already? This has been what’s been stopping me from trying.
I talk about this specifically in the video and you stand out by growing your own following 💖
Great information. I just finished writing a writing journal and someone said I need to make it a digital prouduct and create youtube channel to discuss and do writing insights. The book is a dream journal and learning to set yourslef up for the upcoming year. I have other digital products as well that go along with the book.
Sounds awesome, good luck with your channel!
I have my own website with Wordpress and I am selling my own digital templates I also designs branding, marketing and website templates. But I also like designing invitation templates and stationary templates
@daveedajane Maybe sell your templates to canva or another art design website? In addition to your own website you got going.
Great content! i appreciate your honesty!
My pleasure!
Love your videos and your glasses.
Thanks! Eyeglass world 💁♀️😂
Why would anyone pay for those digital products when it’s so easy to find a replacement online?
Can you learn everything inside my program online perfectly curated step by step with a curated networking community and weekly live Q&A calls with me? No :) people buy online education everyday it’s a $300+ billion dollar industry
Because some people don’t want to search and put it together. Same way I don’t change my brakes. I pay to get them changed. Simple is that
That’s like asking why I go to Burger King over McDonald’s when they across the street from each other lol. You build your brand and your loyal audience will buy from u🤷🏽♀️ just my opinion. All in preference and who or what brand you choose to rock with and support if that matters to u more then how much you’re spending
My top take away is creating an email list
I know some states charge sales tax on digital products and some foreign countries do too. How do you handle that or do you not sell to people in those locations? I know that is one advantage and one less headache selling on Etsy. Thoughts?
My accountant handles all of that. I’d recommend asking an accountant this question, it’s not as complicated as you’d think though :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤ FINALLY SOMEONE STATING TRUE FACT

Welcome!!
All good except that not everyone likes to be in front of a camera or be on TH-cam (or videos in general) .....
Yeah totally, so they don’t have to do it :)
Everyone always trying to sell something and gatekeep information
Crazy you don’t think people deserve to make money from the work they do.
@ The TH-cam game will never change
Content creation is a business. TH-cam is a business.
Please tell me a good store where I can sell digital products
I talk about where to sell in the video

You like ska?? SOLD! 😁👍😊
Haha I absolutely do! Been to like 30+ ska concerts easily 😂
I would think that talking about selling digital products again and again would eventually get mind numbingly boring...
Then choose something you enjoy talking about :)
Etsy is scam i fully agree
Got a like for ska music 😂
Haha solid! 🤘🏁
