Big Idea

The argument in one line.

The digital product category you choose matters far less than how specifically you micro-niche within it — Claude AI just removes the execution bottleneck once that decision is made.

Who This Is For

Read if. Skip if.

READ IF YOU ARE…

A beginner who wants to start a digital product business with under $100 and no existing audience.
An Etsy seller already doing print-on-demand who wants to add pure-digital products for higher margins.
Someone who has used Claude for chatting but wants to see it used as a structured production workflow.
A side-hustler evaluating Etsy vs. Shopify vs. Gumroad for first digital sales.

SKIP IF…

You already have an established niche and digital product catalog — this is a beginner orientation video.
You want software, SaaS, or service-based business models; this is entirely a marketplace-seller playbook.
You are looking for advanced SEO, paid ads, or off-Etsy traffic strategy — none of that is covered here.

TL;DR

The full version, fast.

A seasoned Etsy seller walks through five digital product types that can be built with Claude AI — spreadsheets, printable worksheets, wall art, social media templates, and PNG bundles — and argues that micro-niching is the actual skill that separates profitable shops from ignored ones. She demos Claude Projects as a persistent, persona-based production system rather than a one-off chatbot, shows Kittl and Printify for zero-inventory wall art, and explains how a PNG license ladder can multiply revenue from the same file. The video closes with an honest correction of the passive income is free myth: digital selling requires reinvestment for the first few months before extraction.

Atomic Insights

Lines worth screenshotting.

Micro-niching beats product selection: a wedding budgeting spreadsheet competes with far fewer sellers than a generic budgeting spreadsheet.
Color variations of the same product are the cheapest way to multiply Etsy listings — same file, new thumbnail, different buyer.
Claude AI Projects retain context across sessions, making them a persistent expert persona rather than a reset chatbot.
PNG bundles can generate 5-figure monthly revenue at $1-2 per unit because the volume math at 100+ daily sales is real.
Offering a personal-use and a commercial print-on-demand license tier in the same listing increases average order value without creating a new product.
The main mockup photo of an Etsy listing converts more than the product itself — same asset, different thumbnail, radically different click-through.
Etsy has built-in organic traffic; Shopify requires paid ads or a social following to move the same digital product.
Reinvesting revenue for the first 3-4 months instead of extracting profit is the operating principle of every successful digital seller the creator has interviewed.
Free tools — Google Fonts, DaFont, Photopea — mean design skill is the real constraint, not software budget.
The wall art plus Printify pipeline creates a zero-inventory physical-product business built on top of a digital workflow.

Takeaway

Micro-niching is the skill — AI is just the speed.

WHAT TO LEARN

Every product category covered here is overcrowded at the macro level; the sellers making five figures are the ones who drilled two or three levels deeper before building anything.

Micro-niching reduces competition without reducing demand — a wedding budgeting spreadsheet for a tropical destination has far fewer sellers than a generic budgeting spreadsheet while serving a real, motivated buyer.
Color variations are the cheapest way to multiply your product catalog — same core file, new color palette, new listing, and now you are A/B testing buyer preferences at near-zero marginal cost.
Claude AI is most powerful as a persistent project with a system prompt, not as a one-off chat — a well-crafted persona generates 100 on-brand templates in a single session that a blank-slate prompt never could.
The PNG license ladder lets you charge three different prices for one file by matching the license to each buyer's actual use case: personal, commercial limited, and commercial unrestricted.
Etsy's built-in organic traffic is the real business case for starting there over Shopify — the marketplace does the discovery work while you learn what actually sells before investing in your own traffic.
Digital product selling is not a passive income play in the first 90 days — every successful seller the presenter has profiled reinvested revenue rather than extracting profit until month 3 or 4.
The main mockup photo is the actual product on Etsy — the same digital file with a premium lifestyle mockup consistently outsells the same file with a flat preview, and split-testing this costs nothing.
Free tools like Google Fonts, DaFont, and Photopea mean the real barrier is not software — it is niche research and iteration speed, both of which Claude can accelerate once you know what to ask.

Glossary

Terms worth knowing.

Micro-niche: A specific subset of a broader product category that targets a defined customer identity or occasion, such as a tropical destination wedding budgeting spreadsheet within the broader budgeting spreadsheet category.
PNG bundle: A compressed collection of transparent-background graphic files sold as a single digital download, commonly used by crafters, print-on-demand sellers, and DIY creators for stickers, apparel, and invites.
Print-on-demand (POD): A fulfillment model where a third party prints and ships physical products only when a customer order is placed, eliminating the need to hold inventory.
Commercial use license: A license tier that permits a buyer to use a purchased digital file to create and sell end products, distinct from a personal-use license which restricts the file to the buyer only.
Claude Project: A persistent workspace in Claude AI that retains a custom system prompt and conversation context across sessions, enabling it to act as a named expert persona with consistent output style.
Color variation: A copy of a digital product listing that uses an alternative color palette for the same underlying design, creating a separate Etsy listing targeting different aesthetic preferences without requiring a new product.
Everbee: A third-party analytics tool for Etsy sellers that estimates monthly revenue, sales volume, and trend data for any public listing or product category.
Kittl: A browser-based graphic design platform with AI image generation and vector tools, used for creating wall art, merchandise graphics, and branded templates.

00:00Digital products are currently making sellers online and new entrepreneurs rich. And I know that if anyone is new to the world of digital products and you might be like, wow.

00:11This sounds like a magical mythical unicorn somewhere in this space that I have no idea how to reach or get to, this video today is for you because I'm going to be handing you off all of the prompts to use literally in the comment section, pinned comment, and also description here on prompts you can use to create these digital products I'm going over today.

00:37But wait before you just use those, paste those into Claude. We're going to go through a whole area today on how to use those prompts, how to edit them, and then also how to effectively sell. You can have all the prompts in the world for AI, but does that mean you're actually going to sell things online?

00:58The answer is no, my friends. So today, I'm gonna be sharing exactly the five products that I personally would go into if I were starting a digital business this year. And also to know, I hi.

01:11Hello. My name is Heather. If you are new here, I have a multi 6 figure print on demand business.

01:17I sell on Etsy. I've sold a half 1,000,000 in Etsy sales and also 7 figures in digital product sales. So this is a area that I like a lot.

01:29I like digital products. I like talking about digital products and that is kind of a new area I'm diving deeper into on this channel because I truly think digital print on demand and other things that you can jump into as a new entrepreneur are so lucrative.

01:48And I think it needs to be talked about more. So we're gonna do that on this channel today. If you're new here, don't forget to subscribe, like the video, and let's get straight into it.

01:56So the first product that we absolutely need to talk about is digital spreadsheets.

02:02And specifically, we're talking about budgeting spreadsheets. Okay?

02:08And I have seen this all over, I would say, the cloudy eye area and just, I would say, digital products lately, which is amazing.

02:19I love that. However, one thing that I wanna note here is micro niches are always for the win.

02:28When you're going into any area or any digital product And just what I found personally in selling for the past five years, going on six now, is micro niches are where the money is at.

02:44And if you're new to channel, please tell me in the comments below. Do you say niche, like n e e s h, or do you say niche, n I c h, personally?

02:56So I'm I'm just gonna show you all this. So I have literally this Tumblr here that says drink every time Heather says niche because I'm gonna say a lot in this video today.

03:10Okay? Don't. You were if you're new to the family here, you are introduced to the lore.

03:16I want to show you the real data. So the data is showing that certain sellers are making 100 sales a month. And yes, these are priced very low.

03:26We're looking at about $1 to $2. Now, what I wanna note here is you do not need to be the lowest in pricing in your competition. You do not need to be the highest.

03:36You could be a mid range seller as well. Quality always trumps quantity. But what I'm going to say here is if you notice in scrolling down on spreadsheets, I will say that the more micro niche and specific you get, the lower the competition when it comes to Etsy and selling on any marketplace.

03:59Now, the best place to sell spreadsheets that I have found is Etsy. A lot of people buy digital products on Etsy, so it's a really great place to sell.

04:09The other places that you can sell are websites like Gumroad. There is Creative Marketplace. But what I found is the fast organic traffic has been on Etsy.

04:21I'm not saying that because I'm biased. You can open up your own Shopify, but you will have to spend on ads or build a social media following in order to get traffic to a Shopify website as opposed to Etsy that has that built in traffic.

04:36And I have free 40 listings, sign up link down below that you can just sign up for and get started today, basically.

04:46And that will take care of it's 40 listings, 20¢ per listing. That's about $8 ish that you're going to save. So here's the strategy on microniches, and I want you to sit down with me for this.

04:59So microniches, what are they?

05:02These are essentially going from a macro and core niche. So let's say it is we're going into the product type of budgeting planners and the budgeting finance niche.

05:15What are other brackets and categories underneath that? So the first thing that comes to mind from my experience in selling on Etsy is thing, bridal niche.

05:27So budgeting for a wedding, that's a big one. Right? We need to start budgeting for that.

05:33Having a spreadsheet dedicated to wedding planning and budgeting would be a great place to go.

05:40Groceries, your bills, just focus on bills, groceries, and having a spreadsheet just for that. Some people don't like all of the spreadsheets in one.

05:52Some people just want one spreadsheet. Right? Another place to go into is maybe savings.

05:57So again, we're microneashing down.

06:01And some of these might not be as micro as others like wedding is yes. There is a lot of people shopping for weddings, and I don't want you to think of micro as small demand.

06:13I want you to think of micro as this is just targeting a specific type of customer who is shopping on Etsy. Now, here is the second layer to if you are selling budgeting spreadsheets is color variations.

06:30This is something I've talked about on this channel for the longest time is a and b split testing. Now, you could have a great product, but the main thumbnail image of your product might not sell your product in total.

06:43So, again, you could have a beautiful quality product, maybe the best spreadsheet that you think is on the market.

06:51Right? But the thing is, you need to, one, hit a color palette that might speak aesthetically to a buyer.

06:59Two, maybe the type of product or digital product you created is if it's a spreadsheet and it's only for Google sheets or Apple numbers or Excel, you might want to create multiple variations, which is quite easy to do with Cloud AI encoding that now.

07:17But that might be the downside and why people aren't buying as well. Also, in your title description, tags, have you, when someone is searching a wedding budgeting planner spreadsheet, let's say, and they find your spreadsheet, they're like, oh my gosh, this has all the functionality I want, but the colors, I don't like the colors.

07:39Right? Maybe they want it to be aesthetically pleasing. You can also offer multiple colors and variations, but you might need to a and b split test the different colors of that sheet.

07:53Right? The color of your product could be the one factor in why your conversion rate might be lower.

08:00Or maybe it's just the main mock up photo. Right? So keep that in mind as we go forward in this video into product number two.

08:09I am going to move this because it makes me look like I am a mess, which I am most days, but the people of the YouTube realm don't need to know that.

08:22What is this video? Hi. Hello.

08:24My name is Heather. I do silly, silly things on occasion. So, anyhoo, back to the video.

08:30So the second product I would sell if I am starting a digital business is worksheets. Now, worksheets and maybe what you might be thinking of worksheets, I feel like when I say worksheets, think about, like, doing math worksheets as a kid.

08:45And I just remember that was like, it stresses me out thinking about that. I don't know if anyone else can relate, but anyways, worksheets are not the same worksheets that I am talking about that you did in elementary school.

08:58I am talking about habit tracking worksheets. We're talking about meal planning and also anything that is kind of a habit you can think of that you're trying to implement into your daily life such as working out, maybe meditating, maybe just a habit tracking resource, right, that can be digital and printable.

09:18So this has and it might sound like kind of what we were just talking about about budgeting planners, but this is actually a separate niche and also area on Etsy entirely.

09:31And those niches that I kind of just talked about as far as meal planners, that is a kind of micro niche we're going into.

09:40Right? Maybe if we're looking for meal planners for maybe someone who has a specific diet type. Right?

09:48Keto diet meal planner, let's say. Maybe we are going into a GLP one friendly meal planner. There are so many different areas and microniches within these types of worksheets and trackers.

10:03And if you wanna go the extra step, you can add on a Google Sheet into a bundle and that will increase the value of the product itself. So now you're bundling it. Now pro tip for anyone selling, you can sell separate listings and then the third listing being the bundled listing.

10:22Pro tip for you. So with habit trackers, worksheets, etcetera, essentially, these are pretty much I mean, they're making thousands of dollars per month on Etsy.

10:33I will put the products on the screen that I found on Etsy. And it is insane how much printable and digital worksheets make because a lot of people do want to organize their lives.

10:45I know I have purchased, like, multiple planners, like, I literally I think, like, all of these are literally my planners, and I have, like, a whole box of them, um, and just, like, worksheet bundles I've purchased from Etsy and coaches online and different, like, workshop events I've attended.

11:08And I like worksheets, but do I use all my worksheets? The answer is probably no. No.

11:15I know. I know. I say probably, but I know I have not used all my worksheets.

11:19But regardless, a lot of people are shopping for worksheets and these are really easy to do. So if we go on Claude AI and I'm looking to create a worksheet, you actually don't need to use a plugin.

11:32I have found that you can connect Canva as a plugin. What I have done is honestly, I've just created worksheets on Claudii itself.

11:41So by itself, it can create PDFs and they're really good. Like they I was shocked by the prompt I put in and some of the tweaks, some of the edits I made on that.

11:55Also, here is a recommendation is if you're looking for fun fonts to add to your PDFs that Claudia is coding for you, you can go on Google fonts.

12:06There is dafont.com. Now, I will say if you are ever using fonts, you do need to check the licenses of those fonts. So for anyone who is new to the digital realm just entrepreneurship in general, fonts and character, like art artist made characters and word lettering, that is typically commercially available, but you usually have to buy a commercial license in order to use that font in a digital product.

12:34So there are free commercial use fonts. Now, typically, you have to find those either on dafont.com.

12:41Google fonts has plenty of those that you can use as commercially free and available. Also, if you use Photopea, if anyone uses that as well, Photopea has commercially free use fonts.

12:54But basically, the difference between commercial use and personal use is personal use. You can create your own meal planner if you wanna create that and use it on your own, but you cannot sell it to someone else. Commercial use is typically that unlimited use license.

13:10Now, check the license on fonts because some fonts only allow so many amounts of uses or amounts of that font being used. Also, depending on, let's say, wanna use it on your website or as a logo on your branding, what have you, there are different licenses per that as well.

13:32Now, I'm not gonna get too deep into this. Ask Claude AI given it can't give legal advice nor can I? I'm not a legal professional or source of that, and I have to mention it in these videos.

13:44But just know that you can find commercially free usage fonts quite easily on devotin.com by just filtering. And then you can download the file, upload it to Claude, and then it can use that font as you'll see in the video in your, let's say, meal planner or meal planner worksheet.

14:07Right? And that was what was really fun about creating this. And, again, I was just shocked by all that it made.

14:13So, again, prompt is gonna be in the link up above and down below if you wanna try that out and then also implement some of your own fonts and whatnot. And also color palettes. Don't forget about color palettes.

14:27Again, going back to the budgeting spreadsheets, color palettes are your friend. So the next area that I would go into personally is wall art printables.

14:38Now, this is something that's not new to this channel. If you've been watching this channel for some time, I've actually done videos and full tutorials on this. I'll link one up above to watch after this or just like tab in the second tab here to watch later.

14:53But what I would do is wall art digital and printable products. Now, the extra option that I personally would go into is doing print on demand versions of this too because not all customers are going to be those DIY customers who want to print it at home. Some may not feel comfortable printing at home or maybe they want a larger version of the printable that you have and they don't have the ability to print at a larger capacity.

15:26So print on demand is essentially where you can integrate a print on demand company to your website, to your Etsy shop, maybe you sell on Shopify or another area. And the print on demand company will print, pack, and ship that product to your customer. So one company I recommend a lot on this channel is Printify.

15:46Printify, you can get the link and a code down below for a discount if you sign up. But this is the company I have used to make a half $1,000,000 on Etsy with selling print on demand.

15:58That's kind of my specialty I talk about a lot on this channel. And with that, if you're looking to sell print on demand printables in a way, this isn't necessarily a printable because since it's print on demand, what we can do is we can actually sell posters. So matte vertical posters is one of the products that you can choose and select from on Printify.

16:21There is also another print on demand company I would recommend called Printful because they have framed wall art, basically. And the frames are so gorgeous, so beautiful, and they kinda go with the current aesthetics in decor I personally am seeing right now.

16:36And with that, you can add those SKU numbers on. So if you create them on Printify's back end, a SKU number is essentially that number that connects the product and your print on demand company so that the when the order goes through on Etsy, it's more of a semi passive process.

16:58And some people would argue to say it's passive. I personally still find it semi passive because you still have to make sure the order goes through, do the customer service, create the product to yourself manually.

17:10Right? And not that you have to create the design manually. Here's the other thing in the process and this what I've taught on this channel, which is there is a software called Kittle AI.

17:21And this is kind of the, I would say, unknown software that people don't know exists a lot of the times when I talk about it. So Kittle AI, what it is is it is a all in one design software.

17:33It has AI image generation tools within it. So you don't even have to go to Nano Banana. It's all within the system and in the AI application tool.

17:45So that is essentially how I have been creating my designs and the designs I'm going to show in this video. And you can ask Claude for prompts and niches to go into for home decor and with research on Etsy.

18:01As far as the research I'm gonna show on the screen of what's really selling right now on Etsy, we can gather data from our research, take it to Claude, and ask it to give us some prompts that are not going to be just regurgitating what Etsy already has.

18:19We wanna create something unique in our own. But from there, we can get prompts and bring those over to Kittle. I can put them into Kittle, get a few variations of that item, and then I can choose the best one, take that to my printable, create that digital product, then I can take it to print on demand.

18:40I can create that into a matte poster and also a framed piece or canvas piece and offer all variations within one and that's quite easy.

18:52Honestly, what I like to do is start with the print on demand side of things and then I add on the digital element at the end because the print on demand SKUs can be created in a multi SKU and variant listing with Printify as you'll see me do on the screen and it is so quick.

19:11It's so easy. And that is how I have created my wall art and printables that I personally sell on Etsy. So just so you know, the links are in the description.

19:23If you're looking to use any of the tools or softwares I am mentioning today, these are actually the tools I use currently. So the next type of digital product I would sell in this year and the next few years is social media templates and bundles.

19:42Now, there is a pro move here I'm gonna talk about in a moment. But social media templates, you can easily create not only with the use of Claude prompts and a Canva plugin, but you can also ask for just general, like, hooks and different descriptions, hashtags, what have you that are going to help someone who has their own maybe small business or social media business that they are an influencer, let's say, and they're looking for hooks for their social media templates.

20:19Or maybe they have carousels and carousel templates that they're looking for for their Instagram account.

20:27Or maybe on Facebook, they're looking for something to use and just swap in easily their own products into a template. Now here is the pro move that I would do if I were selling anything that's related to social media templates is I would offer a prompt guide or a hook guide for those social media bundles.

20:51So as far as like a freebie or free element added in to the listing, if I'm selling on Etsy, if I'm sell selling on Creative Marketplace, Gumroad, what have you, I would have that as a photo card saying bonus, you get this whole maybe spreadsheet that has hooks and captions and all of the things because that is what's going to make your product stand out as opposed to someone else's product that's just general templates, which is fine.

21:21That's going to work as well because people are usually buying visually for the aesthetic. And again, going back to the 10 layers deep of most of this video is color variations matter, color palette matters, font choices, and font selections matter.

21:37So using Claude to decide on even if you're manually creating carousels, I know some people going into this video might be like, well, I want Claude to design the carousels. I don't want it to just give me font recommendations and color palettes, which you can do with Claude Cowork.

21:56Besides the overall overarching plot here and idea is social media templates are really great avenue and area to go into, and I would sell these on Etsy, Creative Market.

22:11And, basically, that's where I would sell these types of digital products. Now, to know what I personally would go into for social media products is focusing again on the micro niches within social media templates.

22:28We want to focus on our customer. And some of these customers might be maybe a fitness influencer and their carousel posts on Instagram are going to look completely different than someone who is a recipe, maybe a recipe influencer or lifestyle influencer, let's say.

22:48So that is where the micronieces come into play and why there is a big difference on how the carousels are gonna look. Because instead of swapping in maybe images of someone working out, swapping in images of maybe food you made, those are those are gonna look a lot different.

23:08Those are gonna look a lot different. Um, so, anyways, just just a thought there. Okay.

23:13So what I'm gonna do for the carousels is first, I'm gonna create a skill. So what I started with is I started with, if I go back to my chat, um, create five social media carousel formats, hooks, captions for micro niche small business.

23:29And you can just start with create a Claude skill to make this. Sometimes it just kinda creates it on its own. So what I did here is I saved this as I looked at this skill here, reading front end design skill.

23:46We can save that skill. And after we save the skill, then we can go to co work and we can just create our own our own co work project.

23:59So if I wanted to create a new project, I create here. I would start from scratch, and I would put social media strategist.

24:08So social media strategist.

24:13So for instructions, I typically in the project, I ask it to create me what I'm looking for, but what I'm gonna start with is I'm going to put you are my social media strategist to create scroll stopping carousel, carousels, and social media templates to sell online.

24:42So we'll start with this. I feel like this is a kind of generic.

24:46It's generic right now. So what's really cool is that we actually have the skills saved on Claude.

24:56So now when you click plus icon here just to show, we have skills and then we have front end design already here. So if you go into the skill itself, you can actually just put that slash front end design.

25:12And from there, it will ask, what do you want me to design today? So maybe I'll put Instagram carousel template.

25:20We'll do Instagram carousel template. And what I'm gonna put is, since it stores my memory and since I talk about print on demand a lot on and Etsy on my YouTube channel, what I'm gonna do is I'm actually gonna go a little bit different here, and I'm gonna put I want to create for micro niched small businesses and create over 100 carousels carousel templates each for each micro niche.

25:56Examples are fitness, meal prep, lifestyle, vlogger, teaching, nurse, health care, etc.

26:09So we're gonna have it kind of be the brain on this one. And then what I have really liked, um, personally, I really like a lot of these ideas.

26:19Maybe I'll do, like, I would say editorial magazine style is really in right now, so we will continue with that and see what it creates here for us. So what it's going to do right now is it's going to write the HTML and kind of the skill set and build on the back end how it's going to design our carousels because I am asking for quite a bit from Claude.

26:45Now I will mention here at the same time that Claude AI does have different plans. I do have max usage because I am using it daily for my multi businesses that I own.

26:59So if you are looking to use this on your own, I would be careful about using credits or too many credits. So for someone who's starting out, I would only do 100 carousels, but you don't need to have Claude create at all.

27:17You could just do the Canva plug in route, have it create maybe 10 carousel slides first or maybe like nine if you're doing like three carousels per post.

27:28But if you are looking to do, like, the pro move that I'm gonna recommend in this video, which is doing 100 per microniche, so 100 carousel templates for the fitness industry, the meal planning, meal prepping area, and you can look up micro niches on Instagram itself or again get to clogged brainstorming mode where you just look over, okay, what micro niches and what industries are people on on Instagram and are looking for actively and you can also use Etsy data to back that up.

28:06Right? And that's kind of what I personally do before I do this. I know I kind of skipped to this part, but I know a lot of you are looking for the creation bits and not maybe the research bits of this video because I kind of already showed that in the beginning.

28:21So after it does this, we're gonna go to the Canva plug in and create.

28:29And then from there, we're gonna have our 100. So I will show that example in just a few moments here. So the final and probably most profitable lucrative digital product I would personally go into is PNGs.

28:46PNG bundles are for the win. And you can have all of these products that I mentioned today in one business and one shop on Etsy, if you choose Etsy, if you choose Creative Market.

28:59There is also a other website called Creative Fabrica. I will say that Creative Fabrica works in a system of royalties, kind of like if you sold on Amazon with Amazon merch.

29:12You essentially get credits per how many people download maybe the digital products that you have on Creative Fabrica. So that is a option. Now, if you want to have your own Shopify store, you can sell on all of the above.

29:26You don't have to choose one. I just wanna say that png bundles are a big one on Etsy. And if you haven't heard of pngs before, these are essentially what a lot of crafters and people are using.

29:40They're buying to put on t shirts and print themselves or put on their own products at home. Again, we're kind of tapping into the DIY digital space here as far as maybe someone is looking to create their own stickers for a maybe like wedding party or maybe they just want to create their own t shirts instead of buying them on Etsy.

30:06And they're just they like the PNG that you have. So what is a PNG? Some of you might be like, okay, Heather, you keep saying PNG.

30:13I have no idea what you're talking about. A PNG is a portable network graphic. And this is different than a SVG, which is a scalable vector graphic.

30:24Now, what is the difference between the two and why are people searching PNGs instead of SVGs? Now, personally, I like to download for my t shirts and sweatshirts and any apparel I sell on Etsy in the past, I like to do SVGs because the quality is more consistent.

30:43However, SVGs do become higher file amounts.

30:47So PNGs are just more compressed down and they're easier to manage on a storage system, in my opinion. That's the biggest difference in why people like to get PNGs instead of SVGs as a whole bundle because file storage and also it's just easier.

31:06So what you need to know is if you are selling PNG bundles on Etsy, Creative Market, maybe Creative Fabrica, you have to determine if you wanna sell this as a personal use file, commercial use, maybe commercial print on demand use. There are so many different licenses that you can offer.

31:25Personal recommendation is to do personal use with the added option of commercial print on demand usage. Now, commercial print on demand usage is essentially they get how many times you wanna offer that.

31:39So I've seen people put, okay, you can use this design 100 times and 100 designs or final products, let's say, that someone's selling for their own print on demand business, let's say. With that, you can charge more for a commercial use license.

31:56So let's say that you have a p and g bundle and it maybe you're selling it for 1 to $2 on Etsy. And I know that sounds low. I know the profit margin sounds low, but there are shops on Etsy that are doing this that make thousands to 5 figure ballpark.

32:12On Etsy, I actually interviewed someone called Bailey Design Co on my channel, and she made a million dollars in a year selling $1 p and g's. So don't tell me it's not possible because that proves that it is definitely possible.

32:27That is what I would recommend selling on Etsy because it's kind of offering multiple options rather than just one. And if anyone has read the book by Alex Hormozi, 100,000,000 offers, you want to give and create a value that is so good people feel stupid to say no to, basically.

32:47And I really butchered his quote there. But if you think of that in p and g bundles, selling and offering 20 different p and g's in one pack for $1 is a amazing value.

33:01Why wouldn't someone buy that? Right? So that's what I want you to think of when you're going into PNGs.

33:07The second thing I want you to think of is going back to color variations. Offering maybe the same graphics just in different variations such as if you're gonna do a watercolor bundle.

33:19And then maybe you'll do a line art bundle, but you're doing the same graphics. It's just a new prompt to add to a style, let's say, or change the color palette of the graphics that you're offering.

33:33Because what I've seen on Etsy is simply just the difference in a style, the difference in a color palette, the difference in the main mock up photo. Again, you can be selling the same exact product, but the listing or the main mock up photo is what's going to be the differentiator between you making maybe 100 sales a month and not making 100 sales a month.

33:55So look at varieties, variations. Microniches are going to be something that I'm gonna talk about again because this is important.

34:02Again, if we're thinking about PNGs, think about, okay, how many microniches are in PNGs? And there are thousands, my friends.

34:10This is why I've created a blueprint. I've literally created a blueprint. If you are curious and you want to use a blueprint in just like the guide because I've talked about and shown thousands of micro niches within my blueprints and encyclopedia that I will list down below, you don't need this.

34:27You can look at Claude. So when I'm talking about micro niches, think of this. For the wedding niche and bridal niche, yes, you could create just, like, graphics of rings and maybe bridal assets, right, and groom assets.

34:43But what if you went into a location location based based bachelorette bachelorette party area and the PNG bundle that you can create for that.

34:53Right? Another thing to think about is, okay, some of these assets people are going to be using maybe in their wedding invites. And that is something that you can create.

35:02So you wanna think of wedding invites. But what if the wedding is based in a tropical location? So wedding assets and PNGs for maybe a tropical wedding.

35:13Right? Those are PNG bundles you can target. Now, another area to target is occupations.

35:20And thinking macro going into the micro, we're looking at maybe nurses, maybe teachers.

35:27There are so many micro niches within those that I would target in the health care world, in the law world. Right? There are so many micro niches to go into here, and that is what you wanna target when you're going into PNGs.

35:41And outside of that, that's pretty much what I have for you today. So check out what I have below.

35:48I am also going to demonstrate the process of creating some PNGs here. So as you can see on the screen, what I'm gonna start with is Kittle.

35:57I'm gonna start with the Kittle artboard, and I'm going to go from one artboard to creating multiple PNGs with the prompts that I have with Claude.

36:09After that, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna download all of those PNGs separately, and I'm going to zip that into a file and upload it to an Etsy listing.

36:19I'm going to complete out that Etsy listing, and I'm going to make the main thumbnail a thumbnail that has a view of all of the PNGs.

36:30You can make multiple photo cards showing all of the PNGs at, like, a perspective view. What I do recommend here is putting a watermark of some sort as well. I didn't show that in the video because I was kinda going fast.

36:42I do apologize. But we're gonna overlay a watermark. What that is is just a transparent kind of a lower opacity layer that is going to claim your intellectual property if you're selling PNGs.

36:54I also want to myth bust at the end of this video that selling online in even a digital context with print on demand, what have you, it is not completely free and you do need to invest into these business models. What I will say is with digital, printable, and print on demand is the beauty of selling, in my opinion, has always been that instead of investing into a brick and mortar business that costs thousands of dollars to start up, typically, lot of people have to take a loan out for a brick and mortar business Just pay rent to invest into the initial inventory.

37:30With digital and all of the business models that I talk about on this channel, you typically need a low startup investment of under $100.

37:41I would say that I would usually reinvest as you make money online. That's what I've done since the very very beginning.

37:50I actually wasn't taking out profit in my business until, like, month three or four. And I want everyone to think about the long term game and reinvesting because that is so important to get your feet wet and get running in a business.

38:05So that's my best business advice to anyone who is selling online or starting to sell online. This is the long term game, not the short term game. And don't forget to subscribe, like this video for more videos like this.
