Now, over the last couple of years, I've managed to make multiple six figures selling my knowledge to other people through my personal brand. To be honest, getting into this space of selling your own digital products, monthly communities, or even high-ticket courses or high-ticket products has been very difficult because the barrier to entry was quite high. You needed to know a lot about tech, how to put together a landing page, how to set up tracking, and how to connect that with email marketing software, as well as a payment processor.
Making everything work together was quite difficult, so a lot of people couldn't really get into this space. But nowadays, we have this amazing software called [insert name], which is basically an all-in-one platform where you can do all these things that I just mentioned super easily, allowing you to focus on what you want, which is creating amazing content and an amazing product for your customers. You don't have to worry about how to make the transactions happen.
In this video, I’m going to be walking you through how to actually set up [insert name] and how to start monetizing your knowledge, making money from your personal brand. I really hope you’re going to enjoy it, so let’s jump right into the tutorial. To start off, what is [insert name], and who is it for in the first place?
Well, [insert name] is basically an all-in-one platform where you can sell digital products, whether they are monthly memberships, high-ticket coaching, or even courses. The cool thing about it is that they handle their own in-house payment processing as well. A lot of digital product companies have been having issues with payment processors like Stripe, where they shut accounts down or impose restrictions.
With [insert name] handling the payment processing, as long as you follow the guidelines, you’re unlikely to face those sorts of headaches. That’s super cool! You can also host your actual content in there, along with your community, so pretty much everything is done in one place when it comes to selling these types of products.
In terms of who it’s for, it’s mainly for creators or anyone who wants to monetize their skill set and make money from their personal brand. For example, if you are someone passionate about cycling and have a lot of knowledge about how to train for cycling competitions, you might want to monetize that by selling a $20-per-month subscription to your audience, teaching them your secrets about training for competitions. Or, if you are a doctor who has been practicing for 30 years and has grown a successful clinic, you might look to sell a high-ticket product to other doctors to help them grow their clinics as well.
Both of those people could use [insert name]. So, pretty much whoever you are, if you’re trying to sell some sort of digital product in a simple way, [insert name] is probably the right fit for you. Another great thing about them is that they actually don’t have a monthly fee, unlike a lot of other software platforms where you can sell digital products.
If you want to follow along with this tutorial, you can go ahead and click the first link in the description below to sign up and start your own [insert name] as well. With those two things aside, we are ready to actually get set up on [insert name], so let’s get right into it. I’m going to be using their phone app to set up [insert name] just to show you how simple it is to do this.
They also have a website platform where you can do everything, and it’s even more advanced. But anyway, if you want to do it on your phone, you totally can, and let me show you how simple it is. I have opened up my app and have also signed up for it.
You can either create a regular account or log in with your Facebook or Google account. The next thing for you to do is to click on the plus icon, and then you can begin starting your very own [insert name]. The first thing you want to do is actually name it.
I’m going to name this "Editor Academy," as that's what most of my channel is about. So, let’s say I want to teach other people how to get started with video editing. Now, I can actually give it a headline—something that describes the outcome customers will get by joining my [insert name].
For example, “Learn Professional Video Editing. ” Alright, cool! Next, I’m going to click on "Continue," and as you can see, it's actually building it out right now.
Now we are ready to start adding some media for it. I can go ahead now and upload a cover photo if I want. I’m just going to use a template photo, so let’s look up "video editing," for example, and I’m just going to add this as my cover photo right now.
You can also upload your own custom one if you want to make it even more professional. So go ahead now, click on Save. After this, I can add even more, uh, description to this if I want.
Um, now I'm not really going to, but if I wanted to, I could absolutely do that, telling people more about what my group is actually going to be about. Right? I can also add a Creator bio, so I can tell people more about who I am and why I created this program.
Right? Also, who it is for. You can add the Persona, and this is an important part here.
You can add different plans. So, the reason why this is important is because this is going to actually determine whether you make your group free or paid. Now, even within paid, you have endless options, uh, and different ways you can charge people.
So, let's set up a plan. Now you can see I can first decide whether I want to make it free or paid. I'm going to go ahead and make this a paid community because that's why we are here, right?
To start making some money from this. You can even choose whether you want it to be a single payment or a subscription. Now, you can do monthly subscriptions, even weekly, or even custom recurring payments, which is super cool.
Um, so let's just say I want it to be a subscription-based community, and in terms of the pricing, you can set it up here. You can also choose from all these different currencies. Right?
I'm going to make this one, let's say, $99 per month. You can also choose how much stock you have. Well, I'm going to take on an unlimited amount of users for this one.
You can even turn on a free trial if you want, so you can set it up so that customers have to put in their card information, but maybe they get a 7-day trial, and at the end of that, it automatically charges them. So, that can already help you make a lot more money. You can add an initial fee as well, so kind of like a setup fee that they can get charged when they join, or you can even create a waitlist.
Now, I'm just going to go with $99 per month, and, uh, pretty simple setup as you can see. It added it in here as a plan. So now I'm going to go ahead and save, and, uh, that's it, right?
All right, cool. Now, you can also add frequently asked questions in here, which would be seen on your storefront if you actually set this up. So let's add one question.
For example, the question is going to be, "How long does it take to get good at editing? " And I'm going to say, "Let's say two to three months of focused effort. " Okay, this is just an example question, but that's how easy it is to add a Q&A section to it.
You can also get, uh, reviews on your product, so as you start getting actual paid customers, they can review the product within. And the cool thing is that all the reviews are actually verified, so you're not going to get just random people, you know, spamming, uh, negative reviews on your page. So all the reviews are vetted, and they are an amazing way, right, to build up more social proof and to get more people to sign up for your product.
Now, they even have an affiliates feature, which is pretty cool. All right, now I'm going to click here on ADD. Uh, you can choose whether you want it to be visible on, uh, Wop's marketplace.
Now, the cool thing is that they actually have this marketplace, right? And, as I've said, their whole idea is to kind of become the Amazon of digital products and coaching products. So, they have this entire marketplace where people are searching every single week, right?
Over 2 million users are searching for different products and communities that they can join. So, if you turn on Marketplace listing, a lot of those people are going to see your community, and if it's something that they want to be part of, right, they can actually find it. So, you can even get new customers through their discover feature.
Basically, you can also allow the affiliates here, right? So, you can choose what percentage of the referred sale they are going to get, and you can also customize the call to action button on your sales page, so to say. So, I'm going to click on Save.
Right now, I need to add a logo as well for this, uh, community. So, I'm going to go ahead and do that. I just chose a random picture right now just so we can get going with this.
Click on Save, and next up we want to add some apps to our. . .
now, apps are basically like different functionalities that you can add to your. . .
So, let me show you how this actually looks like. So, you can click here on Add New App, and you can see that they have a bunch of different options that you can add to it. So, these are all different functionalities that you can allow for your group, right?
So, for example, you can add chat so that your users can actually talk to each other. You can add courses, so this is probably something you will want to add so that you can actually add in the video modules, you know? Uh, even if it's text-based, you can add that in there or any files you want to allow people to download once they join the community.
You know, you will want to probably add the courses feature, but they even have some fun stuff like the wheel, where they can, like, uh, spin the wheel and win different prizes, you know? They, you can even add events; you can add video calls. I mean, a bunch of different things, right?
You can even connect a Discord server to yours so that only once somebody, let's say, pays for your paid content, they get added to a Discord server. Then, if they cancel their subscription, they immediately get kicked out automatically. So that's another really cool feature because, you know, doing that on your own is quite a struggle, right?
All right, let's just go ahead and add the courses app right now, and let me show you how this actually works. Now that we have added this app onto it, we are able to actually customize it. So we're going to click on "Create your course" right now.
I can give a name to this course; I'm just going to name it "Editing Mastery," let's say. Click on Continue. "Learn Editing" is going to be our headline or tagline.
You can add the description in here; I'm just going to get going. Okay, "Editing Mastery" is now live within my platform. As you can see, now I can go ahead and completely customize this to what I want.
I can add a background image to it, I can add chapters, and within each chapter, I can add a lesson. So, for example, chapter one could be like "Premiere Pro Basics," right? Within that, I could have a lesson, and I could go ahead now and upload a video in here.
All right, and then maybe that first lesson is going to be about cutting, so I can make that about cutting. I could upload my video file in here, and I can even add some extra text in here if I would want. It's literally as simple as that!
I can click on "Save changes," and now you can see if I go back here, I have cutting right here. So I could go ahead now and add multiple of these, and people are going to be able to start actually consuming this once they buy my course. Now, another cool feature is that it also offers different financing options to customers, so they can use services like Afterpay and Klarna.
You know, this can really help boost your sales even further, and you can also manage all your users, any chargebacks, and everything regarding payments right here on your phone app as well. Now, let me show you a little bit more about the app. We have the Discover feature here, which is kind of like an Instagram feed but for actual paid and high-quality content, right?
You can see that over $590 million have been purchased through this platform, and there are almost 5 million users at this point. Probably by the time you are watching this, it's going to be a lot more because it's just rapidly growing. But yeah, you can see I can find a bunch of different communities in here that might be interesting to me.
On your homepage, you can see content from all the different apps and communities that you are part of, right? So again, it's like Instagram, but instead of wasting time, you're actually learning cool skills and stuff. Then you have your messages feature as well, so if I wanted to, I could go ahead now and start messaging people who are in my group or any other groups as well that have the messages or chat feature enabled.
I have my dashboard where I can manage my own communities; I can check the numbers of it, see how the finances are doing, and I can add more material and more content to improve my product. Basically, the whole point is that it's really simple to use. If you want, you can use it on your computer and manage everything from there, just like how most people do when it comes to running a business.
However, you can even do 99% or pretty much everything from your phone as well, which is insane! So, I hope you enjoy this video, and I hope now you see how easy it is to actually get started monetizing your skills using this platform.
