Podcasts about digital products

Someone in my audience DM'd me asking how she'd even start with digital products when she has no idea what to sell or what her niche would be. I've been selling low-ticket courses and digital products for over six years, so in this episode I'm answering her the way I'd answer a friend over coffee. I walk through how to pick your niche when you're starting from scratch, how to narrow it down to one hyper-specific problem if you already have a business, and why your first course should be priced under $100. Then I get into the part most people skip: the order bump and upsells at checkout, and why skipping them means leaving over half your money on the table. If you've been sitting on a digital product idea without knowing where to begin, start here.LINKS MENTIONED:Download my free passive income guideThe Passive Email Growth SystemYouTube Video: How I Turned a $67 Offer Into a $1,263 Sale (Upsells Strategy In Kajabi)WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/AmyrYpvsbpQ 

This episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle features Alex Quin and Gina Ulmos, media personality, journalist, podcast host, and author of Mis 200 Citas. Gina reflects on her decades-long career across television, Univision, and radio, and how an unexpected career transition gave her the opportunity to reinvent herself as an author. She shares how nearly 200 real dating experiences after a 16-year marriage, combined with lessons from therapists, psychologists, love coaches, and her own interviews, ultimately inspired her book.Alex and Gina dive into modern dating, Bumble, first-date expectations, red flags, personal safety, scams, self-worth, and how social media has changed the way relationships begin. They also discuss Gina's experiences interviewing major figures like Cristiano Ronaldo, how her journalism background helps her read and vet people, and why cultural compatibility and life experience matter in relationships. Ultimately, the conversation goes beyond dating to explore reinvention, embracing uncomfortable change, and why it's never too late to start a new chapter in your career or personal life.Episode Outline:[00:00] Meet Gina Ulmos and the story behind Mis 200 Citas[04:25] Leaving radio and turning life experiences into a book[09:00] 200 dates, Bumble, rejection, and finding love online[13:30] First-date expectations, money, boundaries, and red flags[18:20] Dating safety and protecting yourself when meeting strangers[23:30] How Alex met his wife and Instagram vs. dating apps[28:25] Self-worth, childhood patterns, and choosing better partners[35:05] Interviewing Cristiano Ronaldo and using journalism skills in dating[39:00] Vetting dates, background checks, scams, and trusting your instincts[41:05] Cultural compatibility, travel, relationships, and Mexico[46:05] Career reinvention, losing your safety net, and embracing change[49:00] Why it's never too late to find love[50:52] Closing thoughts and outroWisdom Nuggets:Don't Ignore the Red Flags Because You Like the Person: Attraction can make people justify behavior they would immediately recognize as problematic in someone else. Pay attention to inconsistencies, pressure, dishonesty, and actions that don't match someone's words.Treat Dating Like an Interview: Gina learned from a love coach to think about dating similarly to filling an important position. Would you keep interviewing someone who consistently shows up late, lies, acts inconsistently, or doesn't share your values? Chemistry shouldn't eliminate standards.Self-Worth Changes Who You Choose: The relationships we pursue can reflect how we see ourselves. Understanding childhood experiences, emotional patterns, boundaries, and what you're actually searching for can help prevent repeating the same relationships with different people.Losing Your Safety Net Can Create Your Next Chapter: Leaving a stable media career was uncomfortable for Gina, but it also created the time and urgency that helped her finally write her book. Sometimes the change you didn't ask for becomes the push you needed.You Either Win or You Learn: Not every relationship, career move, or chapter will work out the way you expected. That doesn't automatically make it wasted time. Experiences can become lessons that prepare you to make better decisions moving forward.It's Never Too Late to Find Love: Gina's own family gives her a unique perspective on modern dating across generations. Her mother encouraged her to date, Gina found her favorite person through Bumble, and her daughter also found a relationship through the platform.Power Quotes“You're not gonna land a good job, a good relationship if you don't have self-worth.” - Alex Quin“Changes are good.

Preston was one of my very first Etsy students back in 2021—and has since grown his laser engraving shop enough to replace the income from FOUR jobs! This spring, he and his wife challenged themselves to add 1,000 digital laser files to their already successful handmade shop, and the result was an additional $2K/month in passive income. Tune in to hear how they did it and why adding a digital component to your existing Etsy business could be an incredible way to scale without creating more physical work.  **"How to Sell Your Stuff on Etsy" is not affiliated with or endorsed by Etsy.com    STUFF I MENTIONED:  Join us in Scaling Society: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/scaling-society Use code 50SCALE to get your first month for $97.    FIND PRESTON: Website - http://277creative.com/ Instagram - @277creative   PRESTON'S PREVIOUS EPISODES: Ep 156: What happens if you don't give up on Etsy?  https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/156  Ep 164: Lizzie's in the Etsy Coach Hot Seat https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/164  Ep 183: Free, Underrated Local Resources That Can Help You Grow Your Business https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/183  Ep 198: From Hobby Shop to Full Time Handmade Etsy Seller https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/198   Ep 216: What We Wish We Knew About Etsy—Before We Ever Opened Our Shops https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/216  Ep 219: How to Think Like A Full Time Etsy Seller  How to Think Like A Full Time Etsy Seller – with Preston Cox    HOW I HELP ETSY SELLERS GROW: ⭐Scaling Society: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/scaling-society ⭐"How to Blow Up Your Etsy Shop" free training: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/interested-in-blow-up-shop  ⭐Trendspotting: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/trendspotting ----------------------

Send us Fan MailFourteen days before the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, a Stanford psychologist happened to ask 137 students how they handle a bad mood. She wasn't studying disasters. But because she already had their answers before anything happened, her follow-up revealed something we almost never get to see clearly: the students who went over things beforehand were still carrying it seven weeks later. Same earthquake. Longer one on the inside.This episode is about the loop that runs in ordinary afternoons — the conversation you replay, the decision you rehearse, the email you re-read. It feels like responsible thinking. It's doing something else entirely.In this episode:✦ The prospective study that shows rumination comes before the suffering it seems to explain ✦ Why overthinking is a soothing behavior, not a thinking failure — and why that's why willpower never works on it ✦ The cruel finding: the people who ruminate most are the ones most convinced it gives them insight ✦ The clean test that separates real thinking from a loop (thinking moves; rumination circles) ✦ Joel Goldsmith on why the awareness noticing the thought cannot be the thought ✦ Neville Goddard and the part most people miss — rumination isn't analyzing a pattern, it's practicing one ✦ The Ninety-Second Pause, walked through step by step, including the exact words to use ✦ Why it gets slightly worse before it gets quieter — and why that's the moment it's working─────────────────────────

This week, we're covering some implementation issues concerning the new digital products and services tax.

This episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle features Alex Quin and Richard Wang, the 25-year-old entrepreneur behind Northern Dumpling Kitchen, as they unpack what it really means to step into a family business, carry forward your parents' legacy, and build something bigger than yourself.Richard grew up in the restaurant industry after his parents immigrated to Canada and spent decades working their way up from difficult beginnings. Although Richard studied finance, his long-term plan was always to return to the family business. Today, he's helping operate the restaurant while working toward one of his biggest goals: helping his father work less and eventually retire.The conversation dives into Richard's decision to document the journey publicly, including the renovations, cooking, long hours, language barriers, frustrations, and behind-the-scenes realities of running a restaurant. After roughly 200 days of consistent posting, his content began reaching audiences far outside his local community, with his Instagram following jumping from around 8,000 to 50,000 in approximately two weeks.Alex breaks down why Richard's content works so well and how founder-led storytelling can create an emotional connection that traditional advertising often struggles to replicate. They also get tactical about restaurant growth, discussing OpenTable, Google Business, Toast, email and SMS marketing, customer retention, experiences, and the systems restaurants can use to generate more revenue without massive advertising budgets.Beyond marketing, Alex and Richard discuss money, mentorship, real estate, investing, learning from older entrepreneurs, documenting family recipes, improving communication across generations, and staying grounded while building a business. Ultimately, the episode is about family, entrepreneurship, and what happens when a new generation decides not only to preserve what their parents built, but to take it further.Episode Outline:[00:00] Intro and how Alex discovered Richard's story[03:00] Growing up in the restaurant industry and choosing the family business[06:30] Taking over responsibilities, leadership, and language barriers[10:30] Why Richard's vulnerable storytelling connected with people[14:00] His parents' immigrant story and building a life in Canada[17:30] Family legacy, helping his dad retire, and financial goals[21:00] Money, investing, mentorship, and lessons for young entrepreneurs[23:30] Restaurant growth strategies: OpenTable and Experiences[27:00] Google Business, Toast, email, SMS, and customer retention[30:00] Cooking, communication, and improving his Mandarin[32:00] Going from 8K to 50K followers and founder-led content[34:15] Preserving family recipes and building for the next generation[35:30] Richard's message to immigrants and young entrepreneurs[37:05] Closing thoughts and outroWisdom Nuggets:Your Story Can Be More Powerful Than Your Product: Richard's audience didn't grow because he pretended the restaurant was perfect. People became invested because they watched him struggle, learn, improve, and fight to build something meaningful for his family.Consistency Doesn't Always Pay Off Immediately: Richard spent roughly 200 days building his audience before experiencing a major breakout. His growth from around 8,000 to 50,000 followers happened rapidly, but it was built on months of consistent work.Founder-Led Content Creates Emotional Investment: When customers understand who is behind a business and why they're building it, the relationship becomes deeper than a transaction. People begin rooting for the person as much as the company.Small Systems Can Create Big Revenue: Restaurants don't always need massive advertising budgets. Reservation platforms, Google Business, customer data, email, SMS, and better retention systems can create meaningful incremental revenue.Learn the Business From the Inside Out: Richard isn't only trying to market the restaurant. He's learning to cook, communicate with staff, improve operations, understand the finances, and master the details that make the business work.Protect the Knowledge Your Family Built: Recipes, techniques, processes, and lessons that exist only inside someone's head can disappear. Documenting them turns years of experience into something the next generation can preserve and improve.Diversification Creates Stability: Business, real estate, and stocks can perform differently at different times. Building across multiple areas can create more stability than relying entirely on one source of income.Legacy Is Bigger Than Money: Helping your parents doesn't necessarily mean forcing them to stop working. It's about building a situation where they work because they want to, not because they have to.Power Quotes“Founder-led content drives people, and it plugs at the heartstrings.”— Alex Quin“I'm doing some big things right now, but this is really only the beginning.”— Richard WangConnect with Richard Wang:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/northern_dumplingkitchenTikTok: https://www.instagram.com/@thedumplingprinceConnect With the Podcast Host Alex Quin:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexquinTwitter: https://twitter.com/mralexquinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mralexquinWebsite: https://alexquin.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mralexquinBooks Mentioned:How to Market Your Restaurant Online — Alex QuinProfit First — Mike MichalowiczOur CommunityInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hustleinspireshustleTwitter: https://twitter.com/HustleInspiresLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hustle-inspires-hustleWebsite: https://hustleinspireshustle.comThis page may contain affiliate links or sponsored content.

Build a ChatGPT Micro-SaaS That Owns One Zip Code (Hyperlocal AI Business Blueprint) Most AI entrepreneurs chase millions. We chase one zip code. In this episode, discover how hyper-local micro-SaaS turns digital products for beginners into profitable niche monopolies—with lower competition, faster cashflow, and the margins small-town businesses are desperate to pay for. Learn the exact AI entrepreneur framework parents use to dominate their neighborhood, not the internet. https://DarkHorseEntrepreneur.com Tracy argues beginners can make real money by building tiny ChatGPT-powered micro-SaaS apps that solve one painful problem for one zip code, rather than chasing global scale. It shares examples: a 28-year-old in Portland built a Twilio + OpenAI rescheduling voice agent for 16 nearby dental offices, charging $800/month and reaching $12,800 MRR with zero marketing, and an Austin founder who built a roofing bid tool that cut quoting to 90 seconds and sold it locally for $1,200/month to 18 contractors. It explains why hyperlocal focus yields high conversion and pricing power, warns about customer concentration and trust (one bad update can collapse a whole territory), and recommends treating this as a 12–24 month play: reach 15–25 customers, then get acquired or expand vertically to adjacent professions while staying local. The episode ends with an action plan to map nearby businesses, identify repetitive “pain knobs,” and build a targeted solution, plus a newsletter plug. 00:00 Zip Code SaaS Pitch 01:15 Portland Dentist Case Study 02:58 Why Hyperlocal Converts 04:09 Austin Roofing Bid Bot 05:17 Bottoms Up Wedge 06:04 Scaling Without Losing Edge 07:33 Indispensability Economics 08:04 Hyperlocal Risk Trap 09:43 12 to 24 Month Exit Plan 10:41 Zoom In Framework 12:33 Whisker Wisdom Takeaway 12:49 Your Action Steps - Whiskered Wisdom 13:53 Recap digital products for beginners, ai entrepreneur, make money online, ai side gig, microSaaS, Micro SaaS, Hyperlocal, AI, No-code, AI tools, OpenAI, API, Local business, automation, Monthly recurring revenue, MRR, Vertical SaaS, ai content creation, ai automation business, online side hustles, word from home, make money from home, ai side hustle, business mindset, business tips, ai automation agency, side hustle ideas, entrepreneur mindset, business motivation, entrepreneur motivation, how to make money online, entrepreneurship, digital courses, digital entrepreneur, digital marketing, digital product ideas, digital products, entrepreneur, entrepreneur podcast, entrepreneur tips, entrepreneurship, entreprenuer, online business, tips for entrepreneurs,  https://DarkHorseEntrepreneur.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Public Domain AI Flipping: Build & Monetize Custom GPTs With 19th‑Century Books (Before the Window Closes) Make money online by flipping public domain AI content—the overlooked side hustle for busy parents. Learn how to find, repurpose, and sell digital products without creating anything from scratch. This contrarian strategy saves time, cuts through the noise of traditional side gigs, and generates income faster than you think. Perfect for the AI entrepreneur who wants results without the grind. https://DarkHorseEntrepreneur.com The episode explains a “public domain AI flipping” strategy: training custom GPTs on 19th-century public domain books (including Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive) to create niche, highly specific tools that can be monetized quickly via subscriptions or products. It argues most custom GPT monetization fails due to content creation costs or licensing, but public domain works published on or before 1930 can be used and monetized without copyright barriers, with the public domain expanding yearly. The script outlines a four-step process: pick a narrow vertical with an unmet need, curate matching public domain texts, build a custom GPT using prompts and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), then monetize via recurring revenue using platforms like GPT Plus, Gumroad, or API interfaces. It recommends verticals such as historical accuracy consulting, academic supplementation, content engines for podcasters, and archival tools, while warning about uncertain platform rules, limited precedent, and the need for distribution over technical execution. 00:00 Intro to public domain AI flipping 01:05 Why Most Custom GPT Monetization Fails  02:10 Clarify U.S. Public-Domain Cutoff 03:40 4-step Mechanism 06:20 RAG & Tightly Sourced Corpus > GPT 08:05 Monetization Options  09:40 Necessary Callouts 11:10 4 Promising Verticals 14:30 Real Trap Warning 17:10 Whiskered Wisdom Custom GPT monetization, Public domain,AI, Project Gutenberg, training data, AI side hustle 2026, ChatGPT, passive income, Public domain, Train GPT on books, RAG, custom chatbot,AI entrepreneur, niche GPT, recurring revenue, how to make money with chatgpt, ChatGPT, GPT-4o, OpenAI, Custom GPT, GPT Store, how to make money online, make money online, ai side gig, digital products for beginners, side hustles, income growth hacks https://DarkHorseEntrepreneur.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Has AI killed the traditional online course?With information now instantly available through platforms like ChatGPT and Claude, customers are no longer willing to pay thousands of dollars for another collection of videos and modules they may never finish. They do not just want more information, they want a clear result, personalised support and accountability to help them implement it.In this episode of Marketing & Margaritas, Maddi and Ruby unpack the rise of paid challenges and why this increasingly popular offer model could be the future of digital products.Using the viral Yap Challenge as an example, they explore how creators and service providers are transforming traditional courses into live, time-bound experiences that promise a specific result in a shorter period of time.Whether you already sell a course, are developing a digital product or want to create a more scalable offer, this episode will help you rethink how you package your expertise and deliver better results for your customers.

Everyone seems to be talking about passive income. "Create a course." "Sell a digital product." "Make money while you sleep." But here's the truth: digital products aren't where most successful businesses begin—they're where they grow.

You'll discover why digital products work best after you've validated your ideas through coaching and group programs, and how to create resources people are already asking for. In this episode, you'll learn: Why digital products should be your third income stream—not your first The biggest reason most online courses and digital products don't sell How to turn client questions into profitable digital products Why templates, planners, workbooks, and checklists often outperform complicated courses The mindset shift from creating offers to building valuable business assets You'll also complete a simple notebook exercise to uncover digital product ideas hidden inside the work you're already doing. If you've been wondering when the right time is to create a course, workbook, template, or digital download, this episode will help you build leverage the smart way.

This episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle features Alex Quin and Michelle as they break down the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence and how tools like ChatGPT and Claude are transforming the way businesses operate, create, and scale. The conversation dives deep into real-world applications of AI inside marketing agencies, content creation workflows, and the rise of AI agents reshaping entire industries.Together, they explore how different AI platforms serve different purposes—Claude's strength in reasoning, systems, and data analysis versus ChatGPT's power in creativity, image generation, and fast execution. They also unpack how entrepreneurs are now building automated workflows, SOPs, and even full “digital workers” using AI tools connected to CRMs, spreadsheets, and marketing systems.The episode also expands into the future of search, advertising, and SEO as AI shifts user behavior away from traditional Google searches toward conversational AI interfaces. Finally, they discuss the broader impact on jobs, emphasizing the urgency for professionals to adapt or risk falling behind in an AI-driven economy.Episode Outline:[00:00] Intro, life update, returning from hiatus, audience engagement [02:30] Why AI has become the main focus in their business and agency work [05:45] ChatGPT vs Claude overview and how each tool is being used today [09:10] Claude for reasoning, dashboards, data analysis, and system building [12:40] ChatGPT for creative work, images, and fast content generation [15:20] Building AI workflows across tools (hybrid systems and stacking platforms) [18:30] AI agents, automation, and replacing manual business processes [21:10] Real examples: CRMs, spreadsheets, emails, and marketing automation [23:00] The future of ads: intent-based search vs interest-based targeting [25:10] SEO shifts, AI search, and the decline of traditional Google traffic [26:30] The impact of AI on jobs, industries, and creative professionals [27:19] Final thoughts, urgency to adapt, and closing messageWisdom Nuggets:There Is No “Best AI Tool”: Success with AI comes from using the right tool for the right job—not choosing one platform over another. Claude and ChatGPT work best together, not in isolation.Systems Beat One-Off Prompts : The real advantage comes from building workflows, SOPs, and automated systems that run repeatedly—not just asking one-off questions.AI Agents Are the Next Workforce Layer : Businesses are quickly moving toward digital workers that handle emails, calls, data analysis, and operations with minimal human intervention.Search Behavior Is Changing Forever: Users are shifting from Google to AI chat interfaces, which will reshape SEO, PPC, and how businesses generate traffic and leads.Adaptation Is No Longer Optional: Industries are being reshaped in real time. The ability to learn and apply AI tools will determine who scales and who gets left behind.Power Quotes“Claude is better for reasoning. ChatGPT is better for creativity. The real power is using both together.” — Alex Quin“AI doesn't replace thinking—it replaces the repetition that slows you down.” — MichelleConnect with Michelle:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/michellechia)Linkedin: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-chia1/)Connect With the Podcast Host Alex Quin:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/alexquin)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/mralexquin)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mralexquin)Website: (https://alexquin.com)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@mralexquin)Books Mentioned:How to Market Your Restaurant Online — Alex QuinThe Digital Marketing Dictionary — Alex QuinPolo's Day at the Park — Alex Quin & Michelle's children's bookOur CommunityInstagram: (https://www.instagram.com/hustleinspireshustle)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/HustleInspires)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hustle-inspires-hustle)Website: (https://hustleinspireshustle.com)*This page may contain affiliate links or sponsored content.

Everyone keeps coming up to me like they're attending my business's funeral. "How are things?" And I'm standing there like... everything's actually great? My business keeps growing. But I get it. There's no shortage of people online saying digital products are dead, courses are dead, the whole thing is over.Here's the thing: the market has changed. A lot. And if you have a digital product or course, you've probably felt it. Buyers are taking longer to make decisions, coming in with their guard up, asking more questions. But "harder" is not the same as "dead." After 10 years in this industry and $9M in digital product sales, I want to give you my honest take on what's actually happening, what's changed, and exactly what it takes to build and sell a digital product that still works in 2026 and beyond.In this episode, you'll hear…Why buyer skepticism is at an all-time high and what actually caused itHow the 2020-2021 online business boom (and AI) flooded the market with low-quality productsThe real reason information-only products are struggling, and what to do insteadSix things your digital product must do to succeed in today's economyWhy cold-audience funnels are suffering the most right nowWhat "long game trust" actually looks like, and why it's your biggest competitive advantageThe honest truth about how much work building a successful digital product takesClick here to find the full show notes and transcript for this episode.EPISODE RESOURCES:Get Sam's weekly newsletter to be the first to know about the Ultimate Bundle® birthday saleGet Sam's Book "When I Start My Business, I'll Be HappyIf you have a question you'd like Sam to answer on a future podcast episode, you can submit it here.Click here to be notified when new episodes of On Your Terms® come outCONNECT:Get Sam's weekly newsletter, Sam's SidebarFollow Sam on InstagramFollow Sam on YouTubeSubscribe to Sam's Substack, Beyond BusinessTake Sam's free legal workshop "5 Steps to Legally Protect & Grow Your Online Business"DISCLAIMER

#945 What if you could make money while you sleep, at Disneyland, or anywhere else — just by creating a simple one-page PDF checklist? In this episode, we're featuring an interview from Nick Loper's Side Hustle Show, where Nick sits down with Chelsea Shelton, a former teacher, mom of three, and digital products coach at Gold City Ventures. Chelsea breaks down how she built a passive income stream selling simple printables and digital downloads on Etsy — think checklists, games, seasonal templates, and fillable forms. She shares how she made her first sale just five days after posting her first product, the research tools she uses to find high-demand, low-competition niches (eRank, EverBee, InsightFactory), and how she's grown her shop to over 700 products. She also touches on expanding to Teachers Pay Teachers, bundling products to increase average order value, and using AI to help with design and ideation. Whether you're looking to build a new income stream or just dip your toes into the world of digital products, Chelsea's story is proof that you don't need a big idea or a design background to get started! What Nick discusses with Chelsea: + First sale in just 5 days + "Riches are in the niches" + Best tools for product research + High search, low competition = sweet spot + Seasonal products run on autopilot + Bundling to increase average order value + Using AI for design and ideation + Expanding from Etsy to Teachers Pay Teachers + 700+ products and counting + Just start before you feel ready Thank you, Nick and Chelsea!

Watch the video on YouTube to see the demo. Get the 3 prompts here for product ideas people will buy.   ChatGPT can build you a digital product in minutes. It can make it look polished. It can write the guide, outline the template, and even help you create a sales page. But here is the problem: ChatGPT does not automatically know if your product is positioned correctly, priced correctly, or tied to a transformation people actually want to buy. That is why so many creators end up with beautiful digital products that nobody buys. In this episode, Jillian shares three AI prompts that fix the parts ChatGPT usually misses: the transformation, the purchasing trigger, and the price plus product scope. These are the pieces that can turn a generic idea into a product someone understands, wants, and is willing to pay for. Show Notes: MiloTree Start with a free MiloTree account Upgrade to a paid MiloTree plan FREE: Download Jill's AI prompts for creating products that sell Watch this episode on YouTube Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter The $7,582/Month Example In the video, Jill walks through a simple example: a coach who helps women navigate a midlife career change. Her first product is a $47 offer called The Midlife Career Reset: Find Your Next Move in 30 Days. That name works because it does not just describe the topic. It describes the buyer's future. She is not buying "career advice." She is buying clarity, relief, and a next step. Here is the math Jill shares: 110 sales of a $47 product = $5,170 40 buyers add a $19 transferable skills worksheet order bump = $836 8 buyers add a $197 private 90-minute career strategy session = $1,576 Total: $7,582/month. This is not magic. It is a product ladder. The first product solves an immediate problem. The order bump adds a useful next tool. The upsell gives buyers access to the creator's personal help. If you want to build this kind of structure, read how to create a digital product stack that turns one offer into a bigger business. Why MiloTree Makes This Easier You can run these prompts in ChatGPT. They will help you think more strategically before you build. But if you want the easier version, MiloTree has this functionality built in for free. Inside MiloTree, the AI Product Finder asks you three questions and gives you three product ideas fully spec'd out: product name, suggested price, what is included, who it is for, the transformation, and how long it should take to build. Then you pick the product you like best and it loads into your MiloTree dashboard, set up and ready to sell. You still need to create the product and upload it, but MiloTree helps there too. The Product Roadmap gives you a step-by-step plan for building it, with AI prompts to help you create it faster and personalization prompts so it does not sound like generic AI. CTA: Start with a free MiloTree account to test your first product, freebie, or social pop-up. If you want unlimited products, unlimited freebies, order bumps, upsells, and funnels, upgrade to a paid MiloTree plan. Your Action Plan Here is what Jill wants you to do next: Copy the first prompt. Run it in ChatGPT. Look for the product idea with the clearest transformation. Use the second prompt to find the strongest purchasing trigger. Use the third prompt to price it and shrink the scope so you can finish it. Set it up in MiloTree and start testing. You were probably not stuck because you could not create a digital product. You were stuck because you were guessing. The guessing is what changes today. CTA: If you want the prompts Jill mentions in the video, grab the free AI prompts here.

In this episode, Alex Quin and Michelle Chia return to the podcast after a brief hiatus to share personal and professional updates, discuss the realities of entrepreneurship, and break down the healthy habits that help them sustain long workdays without burning out. From sleep, exercise, nutrition, and stress management to setting boundaries, journaling, and personal growth, they offer practical insights for entrepreneurs looking to build successful businesses while protecting their health and well-being.Episode Outline:[00:00] Welcome Back and Life Updates[02:15] Agency Growth, New Clients, and New Books[04:20] Why We Chose Healthy Habits for Entrepreneurs[08:05] Sleep, Recovery, and Long-Term Performance[10:12] Taking Breaks, Walking, and Staying Active[12:25] Time Blocking and Productivity Systems[14:15] Setting Boundaries With Clients[16:05] Learning to Say No[17:35] WHOOP, Oura Ring, and Health Tracking[19:05] Michelle's Cortisol and Stress Story[21:40] Nutrition, Hydration, and Managing Stress[23:10] The Tarzan "Swinging Vines" Concept[25:05] Becoming Your 2.0 Self[26:40] Journaling, Books, and Personal Growth[27:50] Habits We're Trying to Change[28:40] Final Thoughts and Closing RemarksWisdom Nuggets:Sleep Is a Competitive Advantage: Entrepreneurs often treat sleep like a luxury instead of a necessity. Alex and Michelle remind us that better decisions, sharper focus, and sustainable growth all start with proper recovery. The goal isn't to work more hours—it's to make your hours more effective.Protect Your Energy: Being available 24/7 may feel like great customer service, but constant accessibility creates burnout. Setting healthy boundaries with clients, coworkers, and even family members allows you to show up at your best when it matters most.Track Your Health Like Your Business: Most entrepreneurs obsess over revenue, sales, and analytics while ignoring their own health metrics. Monitoring stress levels, sleep quality, blood work, and recovery can help identify issues early and improve long-term performance.Let Go to Level Up: Growth often requires releasing habits, relationships, or routines that no longer serve your future. Like Tarzan swinging from one vine to the next, you have to let go of the old before you can fully grab onto new opportunities.Become Your Next Version: Success isn't about staying the same person and hoping for different results. The habits, mindset, and behaviors that got you here may not be enough to get you where you want to go next. Continuous self-improvement is a requirement, not an option.Power Quotes"Your heart rhythm is a very important thing that people don't even pay attention to." - Alex Quin"It's okay to say no and it's okay to put yourself first." - Michelle ChiaConnect with Michelle:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/michellechia)Linkedin: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-chia1/)Connect With the Podcast Host Alex Quin:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/alexquin)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/mralexquin)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mralexquin)Website: (https://alexquin.com)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@mralexquin)Books Mentioned:Atomic Habits — James ClearThe Road Less Stupid — Keith J.

Today on The Level Up Podcast, we're answering your questions straight from Hybrid Co. and diving into everything from networking at luxury events, building real connections in the wedding industry, handling pricing pushback, creating an elevator pitch that actually reflects your brand, and knowing when it's time to diversify your income beyond weddings.One of the biggest mindset shifts we've learned over the years is that growth rarely comes from staying comfortable.

They learn how to position themselves differently. And eventually, they stop relying on one single revenue stream to carry the weight of their entire future.We also talk about:✨ How to confidently introduce yourself at networking events✨ Why understanding your ideal client changes everything✨ The truth about “off season” as a business owner✨ How we personally navigate pricing flexibility and client budgets✨ The smartest ways to diversify your income as a wedding creative✨ Why digital products, education, and corporate work can completely change your financial futureIf you've ever questioned whether you're capable of building something bigger, this is your reminder that you are.The wedding industry is changing quickly, and the creatives who are willing to think long-term, take strategic risks, and keep showing up are the ones who will continue to grow.We're so excited for you to listen.This episode was sponsored by Wanderlust Videos, use LEVELUP100 for $100 off your first edit at https://www.wanderlust-videos.com/And thank you to VidFlow for sponsoring today's episode.

Selling a digital product shouldn't require a complicated funnel map, a giant audience, or you living on social media. We share the simplest way to get your offer in front of the right people so you can start making sales without overbuilding your marketing or burning out in the process. If you've been stuck “getting ready” to launch, this is the reset that brings you back to what actually moves revenue. We walk through the core building blocks of a simple digital product launch: an active email list you email consistently, a clear sales page connected to a cart, one main launch event (webinar, workshop, challenge, or training), and a short launch email sequence that speaks directly to pain points and the transformation your offer delivers. We also explain why simplicity works so well: it's easier to execute, easier for your audience to understand, and it helps you show up with a clearer message. Then we get into the power of focused promotion, because occasional mentions don't create momentum. People often need to hear an offer six to eight times before they act, and a launch window creates the visibility and urgency that sporadic marketing can't. The best part is that once you learn the process, you can repeat your launch multiple times a year and refine it using real data to improve clicks, conversions, and confidence. Grab the 30-minute launch plan and, check out Launch to Profit if you want the complete step-by-step, and if this helped, subscribe, share it with a friend building a digital product, and leave a review so more experts can launch with less overwhelm.Read more HERESupport the show

This is the final episode of the Online Business Reset series, and it's the one I think hits hardest.If you're running your business launch to launch, you already know the pattern. 6 to 8 weeks of building, a spike in revenue, then a long quiet stretch until you do it all again. More effort. Same result, or less in a time when buyers need more time and convincing to give you their hard-earned money. Meanwhile, the pressure keeps climbing.In this episode I get into why the launch-only model is getting harder and what you can build alongside it that creates daily revenue, converts followers into buyers, and actually makes your next launch perform better.You'll hear the real math behind daily sales, why a buyer is a completely different person than a follower, and how to build a floor under your business instead of just chasing a ceiling.Get my list of 50 ideas to get daily sales on: fastforwardamy.com/50salesactions You want to grow on Instagram but don't know what to post to get more reach and followers.

In this Empire Exclusive episode, Allison sits down with funnel strategist and Thrivecart expert Dama Jue to talk about a simpler, smarter way to sell digital products without making your business feel like a never-ending launch machine. Dama shares how she uses “subtle selling” inside her emails, why your audience actually needs to hear about your offers more often, and how she repurposes her best sales emails into an evergreen funnel that keeps working even when life life's. TAKEAWAYS:Subtle selling is not about being pushy; it's about consistently connecting your everyday thoughts, stories, and expertise back to the offers that can actually help your audience.Dama's “Evergreen Forever Funnel” shows how your best sales emails do not have to disappear after a launch; they can be cleaned up, repurposed, and turned into ongoing sales assets.Your emails can train your audience to expect value and offers at the same time, which makes selling feel more natural for both you and your subscribers.Data matters, especially when you're deciding where to spend your time, energy, and money. Dama shares how tracking her leads helped her stop relying on platforms that were not converting.There is no one “right” way to do email marketing. The real magic happens when you combine best practices with your own voice, your actual results, and the way you naturally sell.LINKS YOU MIGHT FIND HELPFUL: Check out the blog post that accompanies this podcast episode for more details and resources.Get on Dama's email list to see her emails in the wild by clicking here.Go hang out with Dama on Threads.Funnel not selling?

A guest early on in the Side Hustle Show said this: "Why am I more excited to make $5 passively than I am to make $5,000 actively?" And whether or not that is true in your case, it is a line that stuck with me because that $5 can scale. The $5,000 usually can't. Chelsea Shelton is a former elementary school teacher, a mom of three, and a digital products coach at Gold City Ventures, the same program co-founded by Cody Berman, who previously shared how he built a $1,000/month Etsy shop from scratch in Episode 665. She took the Gold City Ventures course during maternity leave, decided to stay home, and threw herself into selling digital products on Etsy. Within 3 months, she hit 1,000 sales. Today, her shop brings in $1,000 to $1,200 a month largely on autopilot, and she spends much of her time coaching other sellers through the same process. (Learn how to start your own Etsy digital products business with Gold City Ventures.)
