let's talk about the easiest digital side hustle you can start using AI with 0 Yes you heard this right this business model is flexible scalable and earning me $497 per week if you've been looking for a side hustle that's beginner-friendly you can start with $0 and Taps into the power of AI then keep watching the side hustle you can start with $0 is digital products a digital product is a product that's sold online digitally that sounds so silly but that's what it is and the cool thing about digital products is you don't need any inventory
or shipping costs or anything like that this is such a scalable business model because you just create your digital product once and you can sell it an unlimited number of times think ebooks courses memberships templates scripts the possibilities are endless in fact I have a totally free download with all 54 different types of digital products that you can download right now the link is in the description below this video and this is why digital products are so powerful is because you can start them with $0 they're beginner friendly you can utilize AI to speed up
the process and help you get more sales and you don't need things like inventory or shipping costs and again this is super super scalable now let's talk about finding your digital product idea because this is where a lot of people struggle and you don't have to now here's what I want you to do I want you to make a list of all of your hobbies things you're knowledgeable about things people ask you questions about things you enjoy learning about for example I like horseback riding I like Pottery I like painting there are so many things
that I like to do of course I love talking about business and digital products that one's pretty obvious and back in the day I was really really into photography now one thing I want you to do to kind of set your mindset right before you start thinking of this list is remember that yes you do have enough knowledge inside of your head already yes everyone does and know you do not need to be some giant expert you don't need to be the Albert Einstein of pottery or whatever you just need to know a little bit
more than who you're going to teach for example let's say you are actually going to create a course or membership or whatever around pottery and let's say that you are sort of you know mediocre at it like you know how to maybe throw a mug on the wheel or something like that well guess what now you can make an ebook or a course or a membership about how to throw mugs on the wheel you don't need to know every single thing about Pottery you don't have to know how to make giant one story tall vases
you don't have to know how to make plates or anything like that you just can take the knowledge you already have and share that with others because there are always going to be people who know less than you who are looking to learn the knowledge that you know another example when I started teaching photographers how to book more clients I wasn't the leading Studio making the most money in in the nation okay and that held me back for way too long but what I did know was how to Market and how to get clients and
I had many techniques that worked really well and so my ebook that sold the most amount of Revenue that I've ever had over $500,000 it was called Model call it didn't teach how to start a photo business and grow a photo business and hire and form your LLC in like every single step no it just taught one marketing technique that I use to get more clients and that's actually why it's sold so well so not only do you not need to be the best expert ever but you also don't need to teach everything you can
just focus in on teaching one specific topic one specific technique to put into your digital product I think a lot of times people really overthink this step that they need to be able to be like college professor level and know everything possible about a topic before they teach but here's another mindset thing for you when I was in college I had a business professor teaching business who had never owned a business before now I'm not saying you should do that I think digital product Educators should have experience they don't need to be an expert but
they should have experience but who would you rather learn from the college professor teaching how to start a business who's never had a business before or Sally Jane who has had a business and isn't a millionaire or anything but she knows how to start a business and she's actually done it before experience is way more important than credential ials and being like the overall expert now obviously credentials are amazing too I would never shoot those down but you don't need to have a degree or a certificate or anything like that to teach on your topic
so to take action what I want you to do is make a list so start listing out things you love to learn about things you love to talk about things you like to help other people with things you've overcome in your life pain points or obstacles maybe you didn't know how to meal prep and now you do or maybe you used to be a couch potato and now you do a daily haot girl walk and maybe you want to teach other girls how to do their hot girl walk and create a whole community and membership
around it like it doesn't need to be some super complicated thing it really can be that easy okay once you have an idea of the niche you want to go into now it is time to grow a following now I know a lot of people teaching digital products online talk about things like Etsy and Amazon and gumroad and these different platforms but I talk about this in almost every single freaking video that you do not need to sell on those platforms in fact I have never sold on those platforms and I don't recommend them for
a number of reasons number one you are just throwing yourself into a sea of competition there is no way for you to really stand out number two there is listing fees number three uh like with Etsy you have to keep listing things to keep getting it in front of people number four then now you have to pay for paid ads because there're so many other people competing on the platform so the answer to this is and what I've been doing since 2014 since I've been selling digital products is to grow your own following I promise
it's not as hard and scary as you think it is yes it's going to be hard and yes it is going to be work but it's not going to be as hard and scary as you think it is I promise no one's born with a following I wasn't maybe if you're a Kardashian I suppose but all you have to do is decide that you want to grow a following and you don't have to be an influencer I am not someone who goes online and makes reals and Instagram stories and I I don't document my whole
day like literally just once a month I sit down for one to two days and I record YouTube videos to batch out for the next month that's it I really don't see myself as an influencer I really don't want to be an influencer i really see myself more as an educator and that is why I love YouTube so what you want to do is start your channel around your Niche start putting out videos every single week don't think that your videos have to have my video quality or my audio quality or my lighting or whatever
from day one in fact my lighting's not even that good I got to work on that next but what you want to do is just start out with where you are if you just have a cell phone start with that if you have a little point and shoot camera start with that you know start with where you are and then try to make effort to improve with every single video like maybe one video you decide to really focus on your pacing of how you're talking do you want it to be really really fast or do
you want it to be really really slow because I know for me when videos are really really slow it bothers me and I want to turn up the speed you know so kind of think about that maybe next time you want to start really watching all your competitors videos and seeing you know what are they doing maybe you want to in one video work on your background then the next video You're lighting you're you know there's so many things to improve over time and if you feel like it is unattainable go back and look at
my oldest videos here on YouTube and I promise you you will be feeling pretty great about starting your own YouTube channel because my first videos sucked a lot and honestly your first videos probably will too but here's the thing if you don't start and you don't suck in the beginning then you will never get to being good right and I think that's what holds a lot of people back is they're afraid of not being perfect from day one and you're not going to be like you're only going to get better with time I'm like 2
years into this and my videos still have a lot of improvement and work to be done but I'm not letting that hold me back because if you try to be perfect from day one you'll just never create anything and you'll never get anywhere and I promise you there are people out there right now that need the knowledge that you already have okay now let's talk about the elusive consistent passive income how to actually automate your sales with email marketing now it is one thing to grow your following on YouTube or whatever platform you want to
grow on I mean I do recommend YouTube but it is quite another thing to grow in email list and an email list is actually 40 times more effective at making sales than social media alone it is where pretty much all of my sales come from so what I do is I post YouTube videos every single week and in the video I mentioned freebies just like I did at the beginning of this video I mentioned my free download for 54 different types of digital products which is in the description linked Below in this video and it's
totally for free and what happens is people put in their name and they put in their email and that is how we send them the free digital product and then that's also how they get on our email list so now now I'm able to send them further stories you know further get to know them and what their pain points are and help them further through my email list and this is how I make my digital product sales and this is what I recommend for you as well so what I do is I actually have a
5day automated email sequence now an automated email sequence is a lot easier than it sounds it's simply just however many emails you want to write and you just automate them so instead of saying I'm going to send this you know September 1st at 1 p.m. instead of doing that you say when someone joins my list send them this email on day 1 or day five or day 300 you know whatever you want to do and that's how you automate your email list so when someone downloads one of my freebies the first thing they're going to
get is my 5day welcome sequence they're going to get one email per day for 5 days welcoming them into my world letting them know more about me and how I can help them further and then the last two emails have calls to action about my digital products so that's exactly what I would recommend for you as well is have an automated email sequence and then have calls to action which just basically means like hey check out my check out page here or check out my sales page here or whatever that is and they can go
to your digital products so for example I have this student Luke who is a guitarist and he teaches other guitarists like more Advanced Techniques and so what he does is he puts out videos every single week on YouTube and then he has a freebie and he grows his email list and then he has a 5-day welcome series and in the last one or two emails he links people to his checko page where they can get his digital product to learn more about different guitar skills and this applies for any Niche I have literally been doing
the same business model since 2014 this is the key to like having a lot of freedom and laying a business foundation for actual consistent passive income because once you have your digital product selling and the automations are set up then it's just a matter of you putting out content every single week and again I just spend one to two days per month batching my content so you can see how my calendar could be pretty free because I'm only spending one to two days filming content everything's automated I'm literally making sales while I'm filming this video
I just checked my phone before turning my camera on and we had like five recurring membership payments so I'm telling you this is it I've done a lot of different businesses and different models over the years and this is the best most freeing business model so now let's talk about how do you scale this digital products for passive income right like how do you scale this honestly scaling sounds so like corporate and like scary and weird but with this business model being so simple it's really quite easy so what I do is I have my
welcome sequence that we just talked about but I actually have now nine months worth of automated email sequence now you're not going to start there you're going to start with just a few days and then add more on add more on add more on that's what I've done and so now now all I really do is create content to drive traffic to my email list and as I get people on my email list then they are getting more helpful content and also getting invited to purchase my digital products so that is really how I make
sales and so if I want more sales what do you think I need to do if I want more sales I need more traffic you could even add more digital products down the line or do Partnerships or add an affiliate program there are so many ways to do it but you don't need to do all of those of course basically what I have done is just focused on YouTube and continuing to grow my YouTube which grows my sales but then over time we were like okay now I will affiliate some of the products I love
so that added thousands of dollars in Revenue per month then I was like okay I'm going to do some brand deals that added more money then I was like okay let's do our own affiliate program so we're actually launching our own affiliate program in 2025 which basically means our students can share a link to our program with their friends and family and if those those people join that they get a little Kickback thank you for you know referring people to the program so that's another lead source as well but as you can see to scale
this business model all you really need to do is just scale your traffic so it's very simple it's very focused and it does allow for a lot of free time once everything is set up and yes you absolutely can start this side hustle for free so like I mentioned I use system.io this is the software I use to run my entire business this is what I use for the free the automated email marketing course hosting uh sales Pages check out Pages literally everything and they have a totally free account I have a link for it
