Failing Fast and Hard: The Secret to Success.

The number one question I have been getting in my inbox recently is - Where do I start? What do I create? Remember when you first learned to ride a bike? Starting your digital product journey is kind of like that. The first few tries might be wobbly, but you get better with practice. I had two failed Etsy stores before finding my winning niche, and guess what? That’s totally normal! Your first products might not sell as well as you hoped, but the important thing is to keep going and learn from each experience.

Here are three things that helped me:

1. Finding Your Niche: It can take time to discover what works for you and your audience. You have to try a few products to see what's right for you. My first two Etsy stores didn’t succeed, but each one taught me valuable lessons about what not to do.

2. Creating Quality Products: Your early products might not be perfect. That’s part of the learning curve. With each new product, you’ll get better at design, content creation, and understanding what your customers want. I had some awful reviews when I first started my Etsy store! But I have built confidence in my abilities and am now a star seller two months in a row. This confidence helped me take bigger risks and create even better products.

3. Persistence Pays Off: Every successful digital product creator started somewhere. The key is to not give up when things get tough. Here’s how persistence paid off for me:

Ideas of where to start:

• Printable Planners: Everyone loves a good planner, and you can create them for any niche - fitness, business, daily routines, you name it! Start simple with weekly planners and then expand to more detailed ones like meal planners or travel itineraries.

• Digital Art Prints: If you’re artsy, this is a great way to showcase your work. People love decorating their spaces with unique pieces. Try different styles and themes, from minimalist designs to motivational quotes and abstract art.

• E-books and Guides: Share your knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about. It could be anything from gardening tips to mastering a new language. Keep them concise and packed with value, and don’t forget to add some eye-catching graphics.

• Social Media Templates: Businesses are always looking for ways to enhance their social media presence. Create customizable Instagram posts, stories, and Pinterest graphics that save time and look professional.

• Educational Worksheets: Perfect for teachers or parents, these can cover a variety of subjects and age groups. Think math problems, reading comprehension, or even fun puzzles.

Pro Tip: Start with what you know and enjoy. Your passion will shine through in your work, and it will make the creation process more enjoyable.

Embrace the Seasons with Seasonal Products 🎃🎄

Seasonal products are a fantastic way to keep your store fresh and exciting. Creating a seasonal holiday calendar can help you plan and make the most out of every festive opportunity.

Upcoming Seasons to Consider:

• Halloween: Spooky printables, costume planners, party invites. Get creative with fun themes like haunted houses, pumpkins, and witches. Consider offering bundles to make it easy for customers to prepare for their Halloween parties.

• Thanksgiving: Menu planners, gratitude journals, decor printables. Think about what people need during the holidays – shopping lists, recipes, and table setting guides can be very popular.

• Christmas: Gift tags, holiday cards, advent calendars. Offer customizable options where customers can add their names or personal messages. Create designs that range from traditional to modern to appeal to a broader audience.

Tips for Creating Seasonal Products:

1. Plan Ahead: Start designing and promoting your seasonal products well in advance. This gives you plenty of time to market them and for your customers to prepare.

2. Limited Editions: Create a sense of urgency by offering limited edition products. This can drive faster sales as customers won’t want to miss out.

3. Bundle Deals: Combine related items into bundles to offer more value and increase your average order value.
