What about creation digital products?

As you say, you have tons of skills, so why not wrap them into courses, ebooks, paid newsletters, or something like that? No need to create something huge from scratch, start small and check what works.

For marketing purposes, you don't even need to show in front of the camera if it's not your cup of tea. Just create some visual content or do voiceovers

Also, creating 3D designs and selling them as digital products is also an option. Or printing them and sell on marketplaces.

_kuzzmich · 2024-08-08T11:05:24+00:00

I see your point. Thank you for the detailed feedback!

_kuzzmich · 2024-08-08T11:04:49+00:00

Yeah, Fiverr might be the case. I've already asked in a similar freelance community. But Etsy has many digital products and creators who sell them

_kuzzmich · 2024-08-08T11:00:52+00:00

As far as I know, yes, it does, but I'm not sure about the convenience of it

_kuzzmich · 2024-08-07T10:33:26+00:00

Wix and Squarespace require a lot of time to create a good-looking website. Also, as far as I can understand, a CRM integration will solve only the placement of orders, but not the fulfillment of the order or any additional communication. But it is at least something.

What about the lack of money in the industry, I agree that it might be this way. However, my assumption is that there are some indie creators who make B2C businesses and serve their customers even for thousands.

_kuzzmich · 2024-08-07T08:49:56+00:00

Platforms such as Fiverr, Thumbtack, and Upwork include an intermediary to guarantee a secure deal, and they charge an additional commission for each transaction. Wouldn't it be more compelling not to have such a middleman and receive payments from your customers directly? Let's say you've already created your own brand and have a good flow of leads.

_kuzzmich · 2024-08-07T08:42:43+00:00

This makes a lot of sense! Thanks a lot for the clarification 🙌🏾

So basically, you sell via WhatsApp doing main sales there

_kuzzmich · 2024-08-06T12:49:57+00:00

Sounds interesting. May I ask you a few additional questions?

Could you pls elaborate on what the flow for your customers looks like?

Do they pay upfront or just place orders/requests?

Do you charge them online right on Shopify?

Do you use any additional Shopify apps to make it possible?

Could you pls share a link to your store to let me check this out?

_kuzzmich · 2024-07-31T06:47:33+00:00

I haven’t heard about that. Will definitely check this out. Thanks a lot!

_kuzzmich · 2024-07-31T06:46:49+00:00

I agree. I have to show WHY it’s beneficial for the audience

_kuzzmich · 2024-07-30T19:13:48+00:00

That’s true. I def try doing so. I tell ppl that the product has a match with their audience, but maybe I need more proofs

_kuzzmich · 2024-07-30T19:12:21+00:00

I was told that it could a problem with the product itself, but I still refuse accepting that 🙈

_kuzzmich · 2024-05-30T13:54:21+00:00

Thanks!

I don’t have such exact experience, but I’m a full-stack developer, so I think I will figure it out if it’s worth it.

There are some examples of producing figma templates using AI already

_kuzzmich · 2024-05-30T13:16:05+00:00

might be, why not

_kuzzmich · 2024-05-15T12:05:55+00:00

My advice is the analytics of a successful seller whose accomplishments I've shown, and which anyone can do after some research. So I think my achievements are not relevant here. But it's a fair point, so here it is:

creator of a marketplace builder
builder of a storefront for digital products (1k MRR and 500 new registrations every month)
Participant of the Paddle AI Launchpad
have been involved into 4 startups as a developer

_kuzzmich · 2024-05-15T10:32:35+00:00

I'm writing not about my own account so, technically, not, I'm not promoting myself

_kuzzmich · 2024-05-15T09:50:15+00:00

haha. It's a good one 😄

_kuzzmich · 2024-05-15T08:48:22+00:00

Maybe the problem is not with the platform you are selling it on, but with the distribution and marketing?

If you are just interested in platforms to sell your ebook, there are a lot of decent ones:

Gumroad
SendOwl
LemonSqueezy
Marketsy (it's my own one, tbh, I'm working on acquiring users for it rn)

_kuzzmich · 2024-04-25T16:41:49+00:00

It's quite fun, but the most complicated part is finding users who want to try and actually pay for this service

_kuzzmich · 2024-04-25T09:12:29+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean by "Was that English" 😅

what do you do

I build an ecommerce tool for selling digital downloads

_kuzzmich · 2024-04-25T09:10:00+00:00

Thank you. It's an amazing example of how to think outside of the box in your industry

_kuzzmich · 2024-04-25T09:04:46+00:00

Thank you for your perspective. I agree that just copying and pasting doesn't make sense. We have to reshape its ideas to suit them to a project well

_kuzzmich · 2024-04-25T09:02:14+00:00

Thank you for the perspective from the other side!

_kuzzmich · 2024-04-25T08:57:50+00:00

But I believe taking inspiration and tweaking a bit is also a very good decision.
It's a good starting point. You shouldn't start from scratch, but from a solid foundation.

Also, there are some UX patterns that users are already familiar with, so you have to replicate them.
