Stumbled upon this video after being curious about digital products. Not only was this video helpful and easy to follow, but you have a charisma to you that's enjoyable to watch!

I like that you are using designer language and sorta translating it for artists. I'm a designer (branding and packaging), so I can definitely hear all that vocabulary and where it's coming from. Most artists are so small and isolated, they can really learn so much from designers about marketing, creating their own brand and products. You're doing good work.

Perfect way to start the day. I’ve been wanting to sell my artwork for a while now and had no idea where to start. Once again Kelsey your content is always appreciated ❤

Honestly, I watch a lot of these videos from all kinds of creators. You're the most genuine and down to earth, honest one out there. All the best to you.

Kelsey I just discovered your channel and what really struck me aside from your awesome content is how sincere you are in wanting to help us succeed as well. Thank you :)

Good for you kelsey! Keep on keepin on👏

Kelsey Thank you so much specifically not only for talking about your personal experience which is really important and valuable to all of us that are starting with our projects and products, but also for encouraging to start in a great way! I am planning to create a good product, I've always wanted but didn't know how

Your explanation is on point. The way you talk & present it is clear. This is the video I've been looking for

Your content about online art careers is really inspiring. I drafted an entire tentative business plan in like 30 mins after watching some of your videos! Thank you and keep up with the good work!👏

your videos always come at the perfect time!! 💚

I really enjoed your video after looking at so many other ones. I appreciate your authenticity and didn't feel like you were just constantly doing sales pitches. I like your humor too, when you said you file name should not be final final final and final that made me LOL!

Great information Kelsey! Keep up the great content :)

I’m so happy this video isn’t just “sell the most soulless content that’s AI generated so you can make the most money” Because so many videos on digital products that I’ve clicked on have been like that 😭 But I’ve been subbed to you so I knew this would be good! Thanks for all of the tips ◡̈

Very good video Kelsey. Clear and concise. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Working my own digital graphics on my Etsy story and website.

Wow, this came at the right time. I am enrolled in a course right now about marketing and sales and will be attending a social media marketing class later this month. Thank you for bringing this up Kelsey! I totally agree with what you said about, no matter how good the product is, if you don't know how to market it, people's not going to know it exist. All the best to you

Thank you so much for sharing! It's so helpful. I've been in this world for almost five decades. I've struggled with chronic illness (including Hashimotos and major depression) most of that time. It took a long time to just admit I was an artist. So bravo. I've learned that being kind to myself is better for my productivity than bullying myself. I've been practically bed ridden for over a year and my brain is coming back online. I have lots of ideas but my body isn't always cooperating. I'm a photographer, painter, welder, landscape designer, etc. but it doesn't matter if I cannot create. I'm doing more stuff digitally and your content is just the things I need. Instead of using my little bit of energy on research, I can spend more time working on my plan to take over the world (lol), ehem, create. Bless you. ❤❤❤

this seriously helped me though thank you dude

thank you for another helpful video Kelsey! I always have to take notes when I watch your vids LOL

Girl, it was hard to concentrate at the beginning, you're stunning, so pretty ! Thank you for the good content, it really helped me to understand a little bit more about digital products!

I also just word vomit on a page because the visual outline is more important for me to get started than having the details fleshed out first. Concept 80% details 20%.

"I pinky primise" love you and your videos young lady. You are a well of information and thank you for sharing so much value.

Thanks for sharing this helpful info. Like to way you talked naturally.

7:07 to 7:58 was something I really need to hear 🙏🏻 thank you for this and your videos 🙋🏻‍♀️

Thank you for this video. If you made a podcast about artist and KZread tips I would listen!

This was awesome, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this vid!! I'm having a LITTLE trouble brainstorming. I've been working on these designs on these creatures/entities that all sold out to collectors/supporters. A long term goal I have is creating a comic (manga-inspired) that can MAYBE eventually turn into an animated show in the future. I'm having trouble figuring out what problems people may currently have with this line of entertainment. Currently my designs were digitally sold, nothing physically made as of yet (I may be doing trading cards (not a game, just collectibles)). Any ideas of potential problems people may currently be facing that I can work to try solving? Thanks!

Congratulations on your success.

Kelsey's smirk is art itself 🌗

Great video. Thanks for the info.

Hey Kelsey! Great video, as always. I love hearing your thoughts on making money as an artist. Keep it up! (BTW. Just so you know, my sister just said that you are pretty😊 (she's 11))

i keep meaning to make digital products to put up on places like creative market or make 3D bases to put on a few of the places that sell 3D products.

Much gratitude 🙏🏾

Pretty face to start my day ❤ & tnx for the video 👌

I've always wanted to make colouring pages or books. So I thought this would be a good start into digital products. When I looked on etsy what the competition looked like, I see AMAZING art colouring pages that's AI generated :/ It's so disheartening since the level is so high already and they can afford to go stupid cheap. It's holding me back, why bother, you know? I tried starting up with stickers but so far no one wants them. so I'm hesitant to really go for it.

You're so right about KZread/audience building advice (and most business style content too, tbh) being lacking when it comes to artists. I've watched tons and tons of it, and almost everything is about education OR pure entertainment. I don't want to be a teacher and do tutorials nor do I want to be a comedian and do weird challenges. Nor am I a weeb and do just fanart. Tell me how to make engaging studio vlogs, how to attract viewers with fine art. Idk if it's just the problem of content over art: a 100 hour painting twice a year doesn't really feed the beast.

I’ve struggled immensely with this same dilemma, and I have very recently come to a conclusion (I wouldn’t say it’s THE conclusion) that people consumer art BECAUSE it’s art. People will look/watch/read/listen to the thing because it is art. This sucks when you try to apply it to the content model. Because like you said, two 100hr paintings a year are not effective as “content”. And so learning how to walk that line is something I’m learning about. One thing I’ve been doing is finding artists online who make just art as their content and finding ways to be inspired by them. I’ve mostly found that those artists post WIP updates or they make tiny versions of their usual art. Also a good podcast that helps is the Creative Pep-talk Podcast.

Same for me, except that I do want to make illustrations and manga in my own style. But like you mentioned, I don't want to do fan art unless it's just for the fun of it and just show it to others on social media if I wanted to. Not intending to have any art at galleries either since it's usually frowned upon, they may take a huge chunk of the money, and I'm not too interested.

Hi! I don't know if you've discussed this in previous videos before but it's been something that I've always wondered about when it comes to selling commissions and digital goods online--did you ever have to apply for a sales tax permit for your state/other states? (this is a very US specific question sorry oof). I want to sell but I get paranoid about having all the proper measures to do so, and I've gotten mixed answers from Google, and looking through the Comptroller's site [for my state] just confuses me on their parameters. If this isn't a question you're able to answer because tax advice and stuff is tricky, that's totally cool; could I ask what resources helped you on that front, though? Thanks!

@KelseyRodriguez

10 ай бұрын

honestly, I'd just ask a tax professional in your area and have them guide you through it. Also, don't underestimate the power of a phone call. When I'm confused about this stuff I just try to get a hold of someone that works at the state department of commerce, or even a city level worker, and they're pretty helpful!

Unless you’re selling on a marketplace (example: Etsy, Amazon, etc.), you don’t have to worry about taxes. If you’re selling on your own with your own site, then you do have to register with the state. Every state is different, so yes, you’d have to speak to a CPA.

Really need to meet you. I quit my 9 to 5 job because that made me overwhelmed and less appreciated. From the beginning of my life I always wanted to draw and spend my time crafting this and that. Now, I think I need to choose this as my profession but I am afraid of losing everything. Don’t know what to do.

As a note, it may help to have it not be an all or nothing set up. Sit down, review your finances. How much do you need to make? Then look at work options that allow you to get that baseline amount, but also let you schedule in time for creative work and development. It takes time to build up the path you're taking if you want it to be full-time. Keep that in mind.

Ma'am which website is best for selling digital products

The thing is I don't really want to like teach people how to draw or make like make a tutorial for anything. I'd rather just sell Prints and things like that on Etsy or my own website.
