In this comeback episode of The Growth Game, Brie Groves returns from her summer break with a message every entrepreneur needs to hear: success isn't instant — but it is possible. Brie pulls back the curtain on her early days of selling digital products, including the 4 months she went without a single sale, and the mindset that kept her going. Inspired by a live call inside her Cashflow Collective membership, Brie addresses the #1 question digital product creators ask: “How long until I make money?” Her answer? It's not a one-size-fits-all. It's about grit, vision, and action — even when it's hard. Even when there's no evidence it's working yet. If you're creating digital products, feeling discouraged, or wondering if it's too late to start, this episode will light a fire under you. Links: →
Freedom Through Passive Profits | Start an Etsy Business, Sell Digital Products, Make Passive Income
Are you looking at your life right now thinking, ‘There's literally no way I could add one more thing'? Between back-to-school chaos, work, kids, laundry, and just trying to get everyone fed — starting a digital product shop on Etsy probably feels impossible. And listen… I get it. This summer has been one for the books for me too — stressful, busy, nonstop — so I know exactly what it feels like to be at capacity. But here's the thing… what if building passive income didn't require massive blocks of time? What if it could actually fit into the cracks of your already packed day — like while waiting in the school pickup line or during nap time? And for those of us secretly breathing a sigh of relief now that the kids are finally back in school… this is your chance to use those tiny windows of peace for something that could change your future. In today's episode, I'm going to show you how to build a digital product shop even when you're maxed out — and why it's exactly those small chunks of time that make all the difference. xo, Jacqueline | LEARN FROM ME | Etsy Profits PRO - Course + Coaching Program www.jacqueline-butler.com/etsyprofitspro Canva Crash Course www.jacqueline-butler.com/canva | OTHER STEPS | Join My Email List & Get a FREEBIE! www.jacqueline-butler.com/freeguide FREE 5-Step Starter Guide: www.jacqueline-butler.com/starterguide FREE Facebook Community: www.jacqueline-butler.com/freegroup Website: www.jacqueline-butler.com Get In Touch: jb@jacqueline-butler.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jacquelinebutler.co | MY FAVE RESEARCH TOOLS | eRank https://erank.com?fpr=jackie31 Insight Factory https://insightfactory.app/ Alura https://www.alura.io/?via=jacqueline

Every product leader wrestles with the same tradeoff: move fast and risk breaking things, or move slow and risk irrelevance.

If you're a coach, blogger, or online entrepreneur struggling to make consistent income from your digital products, you're not alone. Most creators try to sell one digital product and fail because they're missing a crucial piece of the puzzle: a systematic approach that transforms low-paying customers into high-value clients. In my latest episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I revealed the exact AI-powered system that successful creators use to build $10,000+ monthly businesses. This isn't theory—it's the proven strategy that MiloTree users like Sarah have used to grow from 200 email subscribers to $11,000 monthly revenue in just six months. In this post, we'll unpack how to create a digital product ladder, use AI to build your entire system, and leverage MiloTree to handle all the tech without the headache. Show Notes: MiloTree Free Plan Digital Product Ladder AI Prompt (Free Download) 6 Purchasing Triggers Test Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify Why Most Digital Product Creators Fail (And How to Avoid Their Mistakes) The biggest mistake creators make is building products they're passionate about instead of solving problems people actually pay to solve. Before you create anything, your digital product idea must pass what I call the “Purchasing Triggers Test.” Your product needs to do at least two of these six things: Make someone money Save them money Save them time Move them toward happiness Move them away from pain Raise their social status If your idea doesn't hit at least two triggers, don't build it. You'll waste months creating something nobody wants to buy. Let's test this with a real example: “Time Management for Busy Moms” ✅ Save them time? Absolutely ✅ Move them toward happiness? Yes (less stress, more family time) ✅ Move them away from pain? Yes (overwhelm and guilt) This passes with flying colors because it hits three triggers. The Digital Product Ladder System That Creates $10K Months Here's what successful creators understand that others don't: instead of selling one product, they build a digital product ladder. This system starts with a free valuable resource and guides customers through increasingly valuable solutions at higher price points. The magic happens when someone who downloads your free guide eventually becomes a $2,000 mastermind member. That's how you reach $10,000 monthly revenue—not by selling a million $10 products. The 6-Step Digital Product Ladder Framework Step 1: Free Valuable Resource (Freebie) Solves one specific problem Delivers a quick, tangible win Gets people on your email list Step 2: Tripwire Product ($7-$27) Small purchase on your thank-you page Naturally follows from the freebie Turns subscribers into buyers Step 3: Product Bundle ($47-$97) Combines multiple resources Provides comprehensive results Higher perceived value Step 4: Mini Course or Coaching Package ($197-$497) Structured learning experience Leads customers toward membership More hands-on support Step 5: Monthly Membership ($27-$97/month) Ongoing support and community Recurring revenue stream Builds long-term relationships Step 6: Premium Mastermind ($997-$2,997) High-touch program For serious implementers Your highest revenue generator The AI Prompt That Builds Your Entire Business Model in 30 Seconds Here's the game-changing AI prompt that creates your complete digital product ladder system. Simply go to ChatGPT (the free version works fine) and enter this prompt with your specific details: “I want to create a complete digital product ladder for [YOUR NICHE/TOPIC]. Help me design a six-step customer journey that transforms a free subscriber into a high-value customer. Step 1: Create a valuable freebie that solves one specific pain point and delivers a quick, tangible win. Step 2: Design a tripwire product that's something small I can sell on the thank-you page after someone joins my list. This product should naturally follow from the freebie and provide deeper value. Step 3: Develop a product bundle that combines multiple resources for comprehensive results. Step 4: Structure a mini course or coaching package that ultimately leads customers into joining my membership. Step 5: Design a monthly membership that provides ongoing support and community. Step 6: Create a premium mastermind or high-touch program for serious implementers. For each step, provide the product concept, main benefits, suggested price, and how it connects to the next level.” How MiloTree Eliminates the Tech Overwhelm The biggest obstacle most creators face isn't knowing what to create—it's the technical setup. How do you actually build all this without getting overwhelmed by complicated tech? This is where MiloTree becomes your secret weapon. You can set up each step of your ladder—from your freebie to your mastermind membership—right inside MiloTree without needing a website or expensive tech tools.

If you've been looking for an Etsy alternative, this episode is for you! This week I'm joined by Erin Kendal who built a full time passive income on Spoonflower by designing aesthetic digital patterns to be sold on wallpaper, fabric and more.

If you sell digital products, you've probably asked: “How do I increase revenue without adding more work?” Good news—there's a simple, ethical, customer‑friendly tactic that top creators use every day: Order bumps. In this post, I'll show you what an order bump is, why it reliably grows your average order value (AOV), real examples that convert, and a copy‑paste prompt to brainstorm your own in minutes. I'll also share how to set this up with MiloTree (including what you can do on the Free Plan), so you can start today. What's an Order Bump? Think “add fries to your burger.” An order bump is a small, complementary offer shown right on the checkout page—purchased with a single checkbox click. Why it works Zero extra friction: Buyer is already in buying mode. Clear added value: The bump makes the main product easier, faster, or better. Low price point: Sweet spot is usually $5–$15. With MiloTree, the bump appears as a simple checkbox on your Stripe checkout. Your customer selects it, and boom—both items are purchased in one click. No extra pages. No confusion. Real creators using MiloTree report 30–40%+ of buyers taking the bump—turning a $27 sale into $33–$38 in seconds.

I want to sell one main product and one smaller related product as an order bump. My niche is: [insert niche] My audience's biggest problem is: [insert problem] Give me 5 ideas for the main product and, for each one, a smaller related digital product that can be offered as an order bump. In minutes, you'll have pairs you can sell individually and together. Pro tip: If your solution is good, people don't care about fancy design. You can draft the whole bump in a simple Google Doc. Pricing & Positioning: Quick Guidelines Keep it bite‑sized: A quick win your buyer can use today. Price for impulse: Aim for $5–$15. Complete the win: Ask, “What would make the main product easier/faster?” That's your bump. Step‑by‑Step: Set It Up in MiloTree Create your main product (Google Doc → PDF works great). Create your bump product (short checklist, template pack, scripts, flashcards, etc.). Connect Stripe in MiloTree. Add the order bump to the main product's checkout (it appears as a checkbox). Test your flow and publish. What can you do on the MiloTree Free Plan? Sell 1 product for free and offer 1 freebie to grow your list. Perfect for getting your first product live fast and validating demand. Note: Because an order bump sells a second product, bumps require a paid MiloTree plan. Plans start affordably, and many creators earn back the cost (and more) just from the bump uplift. When you're ready to add bumps (and unlimited products), upgrade and flip the switch. When Not to Use a Bump If it's unrelated or bloats the purchase. If the price is too high for an impulse add‑on. If it introduces new tools/tech that slow the buyer down. Keep it tight, relevant, and helpful. Final Thought Order bumps turn the sale you're already making into a bigger win for your customer and more revenue for you—without more content, hustle, or tech. What's your main + bump combo? Drop it in the comments and I'll help you refine it. Want help getting this live—fast? Spin up your first product + one freebie on the MiloTree Free Plan today. When you're ready to add the order bump checkbox, upgrade and watch your AOV climb.

Today, I want to dig into how I would start a business if there's no existing audience — how I would get off the ground, how we would get momentum, how I would create a community of people who are actually listening to what I have to say and how I would make real tangible dollar bills as early as possible in the process. But before we get into the strategies, I just want to say that I have never met someone who actually has no audience.

What if becoming a better leader meant letting go of being the expert? In this Unlearn episode, I'm joined by David Tuck, Chief Executive of Waracle, for a thoughtful and human-centered conversation on the mindset shifts required to lead high-performing teams in complex, fast-changing environments.David's leadership journey spans over 15 years of agile transformation, commercial growth, and organizational design. He's held executive roles at Kin + Carta, The App Business, ThoughtWorks, and Scott Logic, and now leads Waracle, a strategic design and technology consultancy that builds trusted digital products for enterprise clients.Known for his calm conviction and people-first approach, David shares how curiosity, craft, and long-term client intimacy have shaped his leadership philosophy. From stepping back in his career to hone his sales skills, to becoming a CEO who leads experts by asking better questions, David reflects on what it means to grow companies—and yourself—by design. This episode explores how to lead through inquiry, build trust at scale, and why today's leaders must become “Chief Unlearn Officers” to stay relevant in an AI-powered world.Key TakeawaysCraft First, Climb Later: David shares why stepping back from leadership to deepen his sales craft at Waracle gave him the clarity and credibility to lead more effectively.Lead Without Knowing Everything: CEOs don't need all the answers—they need to ask better questions and create space for their teams to excel.AI Starts with Literacy: Leaders must understand AI fundamentals to steer transformation and avoid becoming disconnected from how value is created.From Specialist to Generalist: The CEO role is about orchestration—shifting from doing to enabling across functions and disciplines.Human Connection Still Wins: At Waracle and beyond, trust, empathy, and meaningful relationships still drive long-term business success in an AI-powered world.Additional InsightsRedefine Leadership as Service: A CEO's job is to help others succeed, not to control every decision or be the expert in the room.Ask Better Questions: Using frameworks like the probing pyramid can unlock better thinking and faster alignment across teams.Don't Automate the Human: AI can accelerate delivery, but it can't replace the emotional intelligence and trust that drive real impact.Create Space for Reflection: Strategic pauses and structured dialogue lead to more thoughtful, inclusive decisions—especially in hybrid teams.Unlearn to Move Forward: Leaders need to let go of outdated habits and create the conditions for new thinking to thrive.Useful ResourcesDavid Tuck on LinkedInWaracle on LinkedInWaracle WebsiteDavid Bowie's 1999 interview on the future of the internetWaracle's AI Literacy ProgramFollow the Host:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barryoreilly Personal site:

You asked, I answered.If you've been wondering whether the Digital Product Bootcamp is the right move for you, this episode breaks it all the way down.I popped a question box on IG asking where you're at in your digital product journey, and the responses? All over the map (in the best way). So I'm giving candid answers on who the Bootcamp is for, who it's not for, and what you need to know before you join.We're covering real-life scenarios like:“I've started my product but can't grow my followers”“I have 3 ideas and can't pick one”“I launched something, but no one's buying”“I'm a chef/dietitian/coach—does this still apply to me?”“I don't even know what to sell or where to start”“I'm second-guessing everything (including myself)”Whether you're brand new or already launched something that flopped, this is your no-BS episode to decide if the Bootcamp's your next step. In this episode:Who the Bootcamp is actually built for (and who might be better off inside Rich Girl Community)Why you don't need a big audience to joinHow this round's Launch GPT Bot helps simplify decisions, copy, and techThe magic of a focused 6-week launch windowWhat to do if you've got too many ideasWhy “confidence” doesn't need to come first (and what to focus on instead)This is the episode I wish I had before launching my first digital product. If you're in the doubt spiral right now, you are so not alone. This will help.Resources:Join Digital Product Bootcamp HERE!

Want to know how to sell digital products online...without feeling like you're drowning in tech, doubts, and impostor syndrome? Let me take you back to the day I made my very first digital sale. It was 2014. I had no fancy tools, no big audience, and no real plan—just an idea, a simple offer, and a prayer that someone out there would buy it. And when that ding hit my inbox? That $297 sale changed everything. Not because of the money (although, yes please)...but because it gave me something even more valuable: belief. In this episode, I'm walking you through: The exact moment I sold my first digital product Why that one little sale unlocked multiple seven figures (and way more freedom) The truth about getting started—even if your idea isn't perfect, your list is tiny, or you still use sticky notes as a launch plan And how to make your first sale without needing 10,000 followers or a viral dance reel If you've been wondering how to sell digital products online and you're feeling a little overwhelmed, a little underqualified, or just unsure where to start—this one's for you.

What You'll Learn: ✔️ How to turn your most-asked questions into a high-margin product ✔️ The freebie that built Lindzee's list of over 1,100 new leads ✔️ Why her $39 offer works without a big launch ✔️ The exact tool she uses to deliver digital products automatically RELATED LINKS:
