Excellent video Darowan. Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome! Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you. I didn't know it existed. Deffinitely excited about it. Will jump in with your link. :)
You are welcome! I hope it works for you.
Love it. Thank you
You are welcome!
Thank you for sharing your process! My goal is to sell digital products too. payhip might sound pretty cool for beginners like me :D I follow your journey and I will learn a lot by your future vids for sure!
Do share your progress with everyone here if you get started with your digital product shop.
Hi thank you for the video, I have been struggling to build a website, and your video on how to do that would be most welcome. With regard to this video, I am thankful that I found it as the platform looks very good costs are exceptionally low which is a major +, and If I can master it it will be perfect for me.
Thank you for your comment. I will create a video to show how I built mine. It's super easy, though, I encourage you to get an account and start playing with it.
Super thanks for the video, have heard of shopify but not payhip. Got a few questions: Thinking about creating 2 stores, can I have 2 stores on Etsy listing spreadsheets on one and printables on another or should I not as some are saying Etsy will not allow it and will close the stores down as they both digital? Should I do one store on Etsy and the other on Payhip? As a side hustle is it possible to earn a living with digital or in reality will it always be a side hustle?
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.
Great insights here. On the matter of driving traffic to your store, you’ll need to do one or both of these;
1. Build a larger audience here, on IG and perhaps TikTok (depending on your demographic)
2. Run paid ads.
Organic reach is best but slow so paid ads will help you generate some income while you grow your audience.
Thanks for your insights!
can you make video on how to drive traffic to payhip
I am still experimenting with this driving traffic to my page so I don't have a fully functional strategy that can be replicated, but I am happy to share my process so far.
I love your videos, can you show us how to add the privacy policy page, please.
Yes. This is a great suggestion and is on my list.
Thank you for sharing a new platform. Can you please share after how long you started getting sales & just a ball part figure of your monthly income.
It looks simple to use.
You are welcome. I am still working on driving traffic to my shop, so it is still a work in progress. I'll do an income report at the end of the year.
This is so good thanks for sharing! The only downside is that you have to get your own traffic, but hé challenge accepted 😂
Same here!
Hi Darowan. love your tutorials. im working on building my payhip store but I'm finding some challenges especially with my homepage herosection banner image. it looks great on desktop but not so great on the mobile version. I'm using a curve wave divider somewhat similar to the one you used on the 2nd part of your digital pages store but when I view it on mobile, the divider moves and ends up behind the text which is something I don't want. what size in pixels do you use as the background image size or what should I do to avoid the resizing issue?
I am planning a home video / sales page video soon and ill address some of your questions. Stay tuned for that, but in the mean time, I remember when building mine, I did have to play around with different images from Canva, before I found something that worked in both mobile and computer views.
This video was super helpful! I especially loved seeing your shop - it's so well put together and really inspiring. Thanks for sharing your insights and your own experience, it's given me tons of ideas for my own projects!
I'm so glad! And you are welcome.
Thanks for this video. I have just opened up on Payhip and am wondering if I should charge differently than I do on Etsy? Would love your thoughts on that. Thanks!
Great question. I keep my prices consistent across all platforms. The only thing that I change is when I have sales or coupons. My discounts and sales are sometimes timed differently on Etsy vs Payhip.
Darowan can you please tell me what keyword you use for template selling and ebook on business for PayPal product keyword and code as well ?
I am not sure I understand your question. Can you rephrase it?
About the default currency under payment details section, can i choose anytype of currency? Since i'm not from US, can i choose US currency or should i use my own currency?
Select your country's currency, but note that some Payhip users price their products in USD to sell to customers in the United States. You can also ask in the Facebook group for Payhip users if you have any other questions. facebook.com/groups/payhipgroup/
Thanks for the info❤. Can I ask how do customers access their purchases? Is it like etsy that after payment, it will be sent directly to their email? Or the seller will send it manually via email?
Yes, they will receive an email with the product. Also they have an option to create an account for redownloading the template.
If one has a plan to build an email list via freebies, sales etc, is it easy to connect your website to convert kids or flodesk ?
Another great question. I use ConvertKit and luckily, it integrates seamlessly with Payhip. You can connect your freebies as well as products to build your email list. Happy to make a tutorial on how I have mine setup. They currently integrate with AWeber, Campaign Monitor, ConvertKit, Drip, Elastic Email, Email Octopus, GetResponse, MadMimi, MailChimp and SendFox and you can use Zapier for the ones not listed.
@@Dbddigitalstudio thank you. What about flodesk? Do they connect with flodesk?
It doesn't look like they do at this time, but you can use Zapier to connect them.
I have been prepping my Payhip shop for Sublimation designs and digital products, but have yet to find information the optimal image size for listing images. Any thoughts?
Congratulations on getting your shop ready. I can briefly tell you what I used but I do think a video might be better. Basically, you can use images that are 4:3 or 3:4 and there are a few other options available. What are the sizes of your current mock-ups?
@@Dbddigitalstudio most of my current mockups i do in Canva and they are currently sitting at 1000x800 px, which I guess would be around a 5:4 ratio. They seem small and fuzzy on some sites so I am trying a 2700x2025 I just need to upload and see how they look
Hi Darowan, Im new to selling digital material. I would like to know how to sell High Res. images for ex: 5900 x 3180px. @300dpi. This is the quality level I want potential buyer to have, but I can't imagine Payhip allowing that level of uploading. What is the process of getting high quality digital images to a customer??
Hi there, that is a great question. Payhip has a generous size limit of 5GB per file for files uploaded. If your files are larger than 5GB, you can always use Google Drive shared links. You can embed the Google Drive link in a PDF and attach the PDF as the "digital product" in payhip. I have used this method for 2+ years to sell canva and Google Sheets template links.
Hey, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also highly engaging thumbnails as well?
Not at this time. Thanks for your offer 👌🏾
@@Dbddigitalstudio ok sure. So if you need any assist in future then keep in mind.
I've tried both Shopify and Squarespace, problem is it costs too much upfront for newbies. I'm a one-woman show it takes me a lot of time to design, do the mockup, upload and then do a youtube video about something so I always ended up shutting down due to costs.
Exactly. This was me before finding Payhip. I am also a one woman show and it can take a while to get everything up and running. I ended up paying for Shopify and Squarespace for several months without any sales because I was working on everything else and not driving traffic to my shops.
Did you have to transfer each digital product one by one?
Yes. That part makes it hard. But I didn’t list all the items in my Etsy shop. Just the best ones. Also, whenever I list a new item on Etsy, I list it on payhip that way I am not behind.
It's a cool option i just didn't like the higher fees 5% plus PayPal fees
Every single platform has it's fees. The 5% fee from Payhip is pretty reasonable, considering the fact that many platforms charge a lot more. You can factor fees into pricing your product.
Do customer buy Printable Wall Art on payhip? I am going to sell on payhip
Payhip is not a market place like Etsy. You have to drive your own traffic to your page.
ok.. but how do you drive trafic to it?? :(
I use my email list, youtube and pinterest
Can i connect my payhip to printfy?
Great question. It does not look like they integrate natively with Printify at this time. However, it is an excellent question to ask in their facebook group, which is run by the owners. They are constantly making changes based on questions or suggestions like this.
@@Dbddigitalstudio thank you for your help.
I read a blog post on the Payhip website. They said they are considering adding the functionality to connect Payhip to Printify but right now you can use Zapier to connect the two sites.
Hello. Awesome video, thanks. Do you use Pinterest or Instagram for ads? 😊
I use pinterest to drive traffic.
