- 0:17know me, hi, my name is Isabella. I
- 0:18became a millionaire within 2 years
- 0:20thanks to the power of online business
- 0:21and social media. Money that I've made
- 0:23online for my online businesses has
- 0:25absolutely changed my life. It bought me
- 0:27my dream home and a true life of
- 0:29freedom. And I literally started this
- 0:31completely on the side. So many of you
- 0:33guys have started this after watching my
- 0:34YouTube channel and trying things
- 0:35yourself, and you guys have gotten crazy
- 0:38results. So if they can be successful
- 0:39after watching these videos and these
- 0:41free courses, so can you. And you
- 0:44already know people charge thousands of
- 0:45dollars for courses just like this. All
- 0:47I ask in exchange for the free education
- 0:49is just smash that like button for the
- 0:51YouTube algorithm and subscribe to my
- 0:52YouTube channel so I can continue to
- 0:54create free courses and videos for you
- 0:56guys just like this. And I'm going to
- 0:58show you how to do this in three steps,
- 1:00so let's go. First thing we need to do
- 1:02is set up an online store to host these
- 1:04digital products in. Not that many
- 1:06people know about this yet, but there is
- 1:07now a free AI online store builder
- 1:10specifically for digital products that
- 1:12will create you a digital product custom
- 1:14store in less than 10 minutes. I'll put
- 1:16the link for this free AI online store
- 1:18builder down in my description box
- 1:19below, and once you click that link, it
- 1:21will bring you to this page. Then just
- 1:23click on get my free store.
- 1:27Then you're going to click on sign up to
- 1:28Shopify, and here we'll go through the
- 1:30Shopify sign up process. Just click
- 1:33start for free, put in your email, click
- 1:36continue with email. Then it's just
- 1:37going to ask you some pretty basic
- 1:39questions. Just go through these
- 1:40questions,
- 1:42and then you will be brought to this
- 1:44dashboard. Then just come back to the AI
- 1:46store builder page and click install
- 1:48InstaStore AI. Then click install and
- 1:52install again.
- 1:54And this just This the store builder to
- 1:56work. Then click choose your niche if
- 1:58you don't know what your niche is yet.
- 2:01Guys, don't worry. Just pick the closest
- 2:03one to yours if you don't see yours or
- 2:05just pick whichever one interests you
- 2:07the most right now. We can always switch
- 2:08up this later. Then select your banner.
- 2:11Then just click generate theme. Now you
- 2:14can go back to your Shopify dashboard
- 2:16and we're going to click online store
- 2:18and we can now see our digital product
- 2:20online store is ready to go and it is so
- 2:23crazy that we got this done so fast
- 2:25because I'm telling you this would have
- 2:26taken me hours 5 years ago to do. So so
- 2:30insane. In regards to branding your
- 2:32store, another thing I always recommend
- 2:33people getting is a custom domain. And
- 2:35I've been choosing dot store domains for
- 2:37all of my websites. I use a dot store
- 2:40instead of a dot com because it tells
- 2:42your customers exactly what your site's
- 2:44going to be before they click. It boosts
- 2:45your visibility across Google and it
- 2:47just looks cleaner and more official.
- 2:49Big names like Rihanna, Mr. Beast, and
- 2:51Cristiano Ronaldo all use dot store
- 2:52domains too for their brands. And there
- 2:55is a promotion going on right now where
- 2:57you can get a dot store domain for only
- 2:5899 cents. Just click the link down in my
- 3:01description box below and then use this
- 3:03code and you can pick whatever you want
- 3:05and get it for 99 cents which is
- 3:07literally perfect. Then to connect it,
- 3:09you can just follow the instructions
- 3:10that it gives you after you purchase it.
- 3:12It will connect directly to your Shopify
- 3:14store and if you get stuck on connecting
- 3:17it or if anything is just kind of
- 3:18difficult for you, you can definitely
- 3:19reach out to the dot store domains
- 3:21support and they are so helpful with
- 3:23helping you actually um get it connected
- 3:26if you get stuck. Now it's time to
- 3:28create our first digital product that
- 3:29we're going to put in the store. So what
- 3:31makes a winning digital product? How the
- 3:34heck do you even come up with one? The
- 3:35two questions I always ask myself with
- 3:38any online business. Who is my target
- 3:41audience and who is an ideal person that
- 3:43I can help with this digital product?
- 3:46And don't worry if you don't know how to
- 3:47get ideas, I'm going to show you how. I
- 3:49even made a list for you guys of a bunch
- 3:51of ideas that you can use right here.
- 3:53These are like the most popular digital
- 3:55products across the internet. But I now
- 3:57feel like you can never go wrong with
- 3:59ebooks, especially as a beginner. Me
- 4:01personally, I love to go on Instagram
- 4:03and just search the entire platform.
- 4:05What are people selling right now? I
- 4:07just search digital products, a bunch of
- 4:08stuff will come up. How are they
- 4:10marketing it? Like just by like looking
- 4:11at a bunch of different people, I just
- 4:13love to just take inspiration and see
- 4:15like what's working, what's going viral,
- 4:17what do people comment on, what do
- 4:19people request in the comments from
- 4:20other people. And just by doing this, it
- 4:22really helps me to get inspiration. But
- 4:24there's two ways to create digital
- 4:25products. You could create your own
- 4:27using Canva and write it up yourself,
- 4:30which we're in 2026, we're not doing
- 4:32that anymore. We're using AI. So, you
- 4:35can also get help with AI to help you go
- 4:37way faster on this. So, I'm going to
- 4:39show you today how to do it with AI
- 4:42because as much as I respect people that
- 4:45want to take months to like create a
- 4:46perfect digital product that will really
- 4:48never be perfect, but I rather just get
- 4:51this done as fast as possible for you
- 4:53guys. We're still going to use our own
- 4:56knowledge and value, but we're going to
- 4:57use AI to make it go much faster. So,
- 5:00the best AI tool on the market right now
- 5:02is this one. It's called Trend Assistant
- 5:03AI. This tool helps you generate your
- 5:06winning niche and strategy angle, build
- 5:08your digital product from scratch, and
- 5:10generates Instagram carousels so you can
- 5:12start marketing right away. I put the
- 5:14link for Trend Assistant AI in my
- 5:15description box down below and
- 5:17everything that I talk about will be
- 5:18there. So, first let's go ahead and log
- 5:21in and make an account, and once you
- 5:22have made an account, it will bring you
- 5:24to this page. So, first thing we're
- 5:26going to do is under the digital
- 5:27products tab, we're going to click on
- 5:29niche discovery. Here, you're going to
- 5:31take this personality and passion quiz,
- 5:33and guess what? It's going to literally
- 5:34generate you a specific niche, strategy,
- 5:38and even tell you what digital product
- 5:40you should sell in that niche. So, go
- 5:43ahead and fill this out. We're going to
- 5:44go through this here, and let's see what
- 5:45it comes up with. And again, don't It
- 5:47doesn't have to be that serious, guys.
- 5:49Just do your best on the answering these
- 5:50questions. Okay, so once you guys get to
- 5:53the market analysis, it is going to give
- 5:56you a bunch of knowledge here that you
- 5:58can use for your strategy and for your
- 6:01brand. And if you're like in between a
- 6:03few, it's going to give you a few
- 6:04different ones, but then you can
- 6:05actually look at how much money is each
- 6:07one making. Which one has more of a
- 6:11um revenue potential for me. So, it's
- 6:14really cool how this comes out, and you
- 6:16can really help to narrow things down
- 6:18with this. Now, we're going to go to
- 6:20ebook builder, which is the tab
- 6:22underneath the niche discovery. So, now
- 6:25that we have that information from the
- 6:26niche discovery, we can answer these
- 6:28questions a whole lot easier.
- 6:31So, go ahead and now fill this out with
- 6:34what you have from the niche discovery.
- 6:36What do we want our ebook to be about?
- 6:38Who is our target audience?
- 6:41How many chapters do we want? How many
- 6:43words per chapter? What type of writing
- 6:45style? And any other requirements here
- 6:48are helpful to give the AI. So, if you
- 6:50have specific things that you already
- 6:52have knowledge about, put that all here,
- 6:54and then just click generate ebook. In
- 6:57minutes, it will generate your entire
- 7:00digital product ebook for you. Then,
- 7:02once you have it here, just click on
- 7:04templates, which is the tab underneath
- 7:05that. Here, you're going to pick
- 7:07whichever one is closest to your niche
- 7:09within these templates. So, click
- 7:11whichever one you want, then just click
- 7:13open in new tab. Then again, just click
- 7:15a view template, and we're going to just
- 7:17click open in editor. Now, we have our
- 7:19ebook template ready to go.
- 7:21I'm going to go ahead and split my
- 7:23screen, and I'm going to have my ebook
- 7:25copy on the right, and my Canva template
- 7:30on the left. And I'm or however you want
- 7:33it. And I'm going to go ahead and just
- 7:36copy and paste everything over to the
- 7:39template. And of course, if you want to
- 7:41change a picture, you just hover over
- 7:42the picture, you select the picture, and
- 7:44get that changed here. Once you are
- 7:46done, you can just click on share and
- 7:49download. Then make sure you click on
- 7:51PDF standard under file type. Then click
- 7:54download. So now you have your entire
- 7:57digital product downloaded to your
- 7:59computer. Now we're going to go back to
- 8:01your Shopify store and we're going to
- 8:03upload the product under products.
- 8:06You're going to just add a title and
- 8:07description for your product, and then
- 8:10just click save. And to get the actual
- 8:12picture of the product, you can just
- 8:13screenshot from your PDF, and you can
- 8:16use that screenshot as your cover photo.
- 8:20Or if you want a more professional
- 8:21mock-up, just go over to back to Canva
- 8:24and just type in digital product
- 8:27mock-up.
- 8:29Here it's going to give you a bunch of
- 8:30different ones that it's like actually
- 8:32your digital product like on a iPad or
- 8:35on a phone. So it looks more realistic
- 8:37because that's how the user is going to
- 8:38actually see it. So you can use one of
- 8:41these free templates. There's so many
- 8:43free ones to use that you could put that
- 8:45digital product on and then use that as
- 8:47your picture for your Shopify store. If
- 8:50there's any other like customizations
- 8:52you want to make with the store, that's
- 8:53totally normal, like changing the logo
- 8:55or anything like that. All you have to
- 8:57do is just go into Shopify, go under
- 8:59online store, you can customize this
- 9:01store, and then you can just play around
- 9:03with the colors and the theme here.
- 9:06>> Now you do need to install an app to
- 9:07automate your digital product. So when
- 9:09you make a sale, that ebook will get
- 9:11sent straight to your customer in the
- 9:13email. So here's how to do it. Go to
- 9:15apps on your Shopify dashboard.
- 9:17On the search bar, just type in digital
- 9:20downloads.
- 9:21Then just click on this option right
- 9:23here. And of course, this is free. Then
- 9:26you're going to just click on install.
- 9:28Then install again. Then you're going to
- 9:30be brought back to the digital downloads
- 9:31dashboard and just click on add asset.
- 9:34Then from here, you're able to add your
- 9:36file and upload your PDF ebook or
- 9:40obviously whatever your digital product
- 9:42is.
- 9:43And then you will see it right here
- 9:45uploaded to your Shopify product area.
- 9:48Then just click on save.
- 9:50Now let's go back to the dashboard and
- 9:52you're going to see your ebook uploaded
- 9:54to your actual product list right here.
- 9:58And it's simple as that. So now when you
- 10:00make a sale, this app will automatically
- 10:02send the ebook straight to the buyer. So
- 10:06now we have our online store ready to go
- 10:09with our digital product added to the
- 10:11online store. Now let's talk about step
- 10:13three, which is how to actually get
- 10:16sales. Now for one, it's really cool
- 10:19because the Trendastic AI that we just
- 10:21used also has a carousel generator. So
- 10:24if we go back to Trendastic AI, click on
- 10:27a carousel generator and you'll see here
- 10:29that all you have to do is fill this out
- 10:31with your niche, topic, what style you
- 10:34want, the color palette, any image
- 10:37references that you want to replicate,
- 10:39how many carousel slides you need, which
- 10:40I always recommend three and above. You
- 10:42can click generate and then it will
- 10:44generate you carousels that you can use
- 10:47for your social media pages. Carousels
- 10:51are one of the best way to grow your
- 10:52Instagram accounts right now, especially
- 10:55ones that are very valuable. I feel like
- 10:56the best thing to do is use carousels
- 10:59and a combination of videos to promote
- 11:02your digital product. And this can be
- 11:03done for sure completely faceless. If
- 11:06you want to show your face, that's a
- 11:07plus, huge plus. But if you prefer to
- 11:10just start without showing your face,
- 11:11that's fine too until you get into the
- 11:13groove of it. I know many people that
- 11:14have started completely faceless and
- 11:16then eventually wind up showing their
- 11:17face as they kind of gain their
- 11:18confidence and realize that, "Hey,
- 11:20showing my face might actually get me
- 11:22some more followers." And even when, you
- 11:25know, I say show your face, it doesn't
- 11:26mean you have to like sit here and like
- 11:27talk on camera cuz I wasn't good at that
- 11:29at first either. I just mean actually
- 11:31showing like the side of you are you
- 11:34working or like you know you if you are
- 11:36selling a digital product about
- 11:37exercising. So it just really depends on
- 11:39like what you are doing. There's so many
- 11:41faceless ways to take content that
- 11:43doesn't really actually show your face
- 11:44or involve you talking that you can
- 11:46strategize. Another awesome platform is
- 11:48Pinterest. You can literally post your
- 11:50content straight to Pinterest and just
- 11:53tag your digital product right through
- 11:54the Pinterest pin in that link. So
- 11:57that's another great way to get sales
- 11:59for your digital products.
- 12:01Another great b-roll footage which is
- 12:03just like footage you can use over and
- 12:05over again that I really recommend you
- 12:07having for promoting your digital
- 12:08product is your product in action. And
- 12:11what do I mean by that? I just mean you
- 12:14taking a video of your digital product
- 12:17like on your laptop. So you know you'll
- 12:19just like hold up your laptop with
- 12:21whatever behind it and then take a video
- 12:24of the digital product on the laptop or
- 12:26like on an iPad and you scrolling
- 12:28through so you can actually be showing
- 12:31the digital product. You could have that
- 12:33b-roll to show other users depending on
- 12:36how you're going to market it. Of course
- 12:37you want to make sure that this is a
- 12:39fresh profile and that you know this
- 12:41profile that you're going to be
- 12:41promoting your digital product on looks
- 12:44clean. Your bio should be distinct on
- 12:47what are you promoting. So here's a
- 12:48bunch of bios that you know you should
- 12:50look at as examples. And all the top
- 12:53people in this creator game guys in this
- 12:55game online they're all using the same
- 12:57exact bio theme. It's all the theme but
- 13:00a little different and tweaked up. But
- 13:02there's always a call to action to all
- 13:03of their content. So that's what
- 13:05actually makes content creation even
- 13:07easier for you when you actually have a
- 13:08digital product ready to go. Something
- 13:11that you can already know okay I'm going
- 13:12to start promoting this digital product.
- 13:14So let me think of ways it's going to
- 13:15grab people's attention for this digital
- 13:18product. When it comes to editing videos
- 13:20and learning how to edit videos learning
- 13:22how to film videos I actually made an
- 13:24entire free course for you guys called
- 13:26my free marketing course, which is on my
- 13:28YouTube channel. I'll link that down in
- 13:30my description box below because it's
- 13:31very involved.
- 13:33There's a lot to learn in that video.
- 13:36So, I will
- 13:38I don't want to create a, you know,
- 13:392-hour long video here. So, I will put
- 13:42that video for you guys linked in my
- 13:44description box below and any other
- 13:45helpful videos for you guys. If you also
- 13:48feel like you need one-on-one help with
- 13:50growing your digital product business
- 13:51that you have your digital product
- 13:53ready, but you just can't quite
- 13:55understand why something's not working
- 13:57or you're just feeling stuck and you

- 14:01actually created an entire coaching
