  1. 0:00If I had to start over online today, I
  2. 0:03would not start with inventory. I would
  3. 0:05not start with figuring out things like
  4. 0:08shipping. And I would definitely not
  5. 0:10start with a product that I have to
  6. 0:12remake every time someone buys it. I
  7. 0:15would probably sell something that I can
  8. 0:18create once, deliver it automatically,
  9. 0:22and sell it again and again, which means
  10. 0:25that I can actually make money while I
  11. 0:28sleep. And in this video, that's what I
  12. 0:30want to talk about because I want to
  13. 0:32show you exactly how to create and set
  14. 0:34up this product. So, I'm going to show
  15. 0:36you as well the type of product, who I
  16. 0:39would sell it to, how I would package
  17. 0:41it, how buyers would receive it, where I
  18. 0:44would list it for sale, and how I would
  19. 0:47turn one product into a whole bundle.
  20. 0:50Rockstars, let's build this passive
  21. 0:53income stream together, step by step.
  22. 0:57Welcome back to the Rockstar Academy.
  23. 0:59I'm glad you're here. Thank you for your
  24. 1:01loyalty and thank you for those who keep
  25. 1:03coming back. For that, I'm grateful. And
  26. 1:05if you're not yet a rockstar and you
  27. 1:07want to become one, you can go ahead and
  28. 1:08subscribe, but it's not required. I'm
  29. 1:10just glad you're here. We have a lot to
  30. 1:12cover. So, I'm going to jump right into
  31. 1:14it. Now, let me talk about first the
  32. 1:17product that I would sell. And the
  33. 1:19product is editable templates, but this
  34. 1:21is editable templates with a difference.
  35. 1:24So, make sure you stay tuned for that.
  36. 1:25What this means is that the customer
  37. 1:27will buy access to a particular design
  38. 1:30that they can actually open. They can
  39. 1:32customize it and then use it themselves.
  40. 1:35So instead of selling a flat image,
  41. 1:37which is what most people do online,
  42. 1:39you're selling something that's
  43. 1:40editable. And here's the best part that
  44. 1:42can include videos, which is what I'd
  45. 1:46say is very unique. And because of that
  46. 1:48uniqueness, you're likely going to get
  47. 1:50more sales. Now, if you're wondering why
  48. 1:52would people buy editable templates or
  49. 1:54data, it is because they need marketing
  50. 1:57material and they need this marketing
  51. 1:59material constantly. And many of them,
  52. 2:01they don't want to hire a designer
  53. 2:03full-time or pay freelancers to create
  54. 2:06content. They're looking for something
  55. 2:07that's readymade that they can easily
  56. 2:10customize and use to market their
  57. 2:12products. Now, let's talk about the tool
  58. 2:14that I would use to do this because
  59. 2:16there are quite a few of them out there
  60. 2:18on the market, but they cannot deliver
  61. 2:20what I'm about to share. For this
  62. 2:22tutorial, I'm using KD. And one of the
  63. 2:25reasons why I really like using KD is
  64. 2:28because it's very beginner friendly. And
  65. 2:31what you can do is if you want to follow
  66. 2:33along with the steps that I'm about to
  67. 2:35take, I'm going to grab my computer so
  68. 2:37we can do this together. I have placed a
  69. 2:39link at the top of the description. It's
  70. 2:41going to be above all the writing or on
  71. 2:44top of the fold. And you can decide if
  72. 2:47you want to upgrade to KD Pro or the
  73. 2:49expert plans. And to get a 25% discount
  74. 2:53for either of those plans, you can use
  75. 2:56the link that's in the description.
  76. 2:59Enter code Odetta YT that I'm popping up
  77. 3:02here on screen and you're going to get
  78. 3:0425% off the first month or the first
  79. 3:07year of a KD Pro or a KD expert plan.
  80. 3:11Now, KD is a good option because it has
  81. 3:15strong design tools like typographic,
  82. 3:18posters, labels, logos, product mockups,
  83. 3:21business graphics, social media designs,
  84. 3:23and so much more. And I'm not going to
  85. 3:25tell you, I'm going to show you. And the
  86. 3:27feature that I'm most excited about is
  87. 3:29the fact that you can integrate videos
  88. 3:32seamlessly into your design using KD.
  89. 3:35And also the fact that you can use KD's
  90. 3:38designs commercially and sell them
  91. 3:40anywhere without having to worry about
  92. 3:43licensing rules as long as you have the
  93. 3:45pro plan or the expert plan. So before
  94. 3:48creating or choosing your template,
  95. 3:51research what people are already buying.
  96. 3:54Don't just guess. That's what you do
  97. 3:56when you're taking chances with your
  98. 3:58probability of success. I want you to go
  99. 4:01to marketplaces like Etsy, Creative
  100. 4:04Market, Gumroad, Payhip, and Pinterest.
  101. 4:07And you can search for template products
  102. 4:09in your niche that you're thinking
  103. 4:11about. As an example, you can search for
  104. 4:14beauty business and then look at things
  105. 4:17like a nail tech price list, lash
  106. 4:20technician flyer templates, salon
  107. 4:22Instagram templates. And for the food
  108. 4:25business, you can search, as I'm showing
  109. 4:26you here, for things like restaurant
  110. 4:28menu templates, food flyer templates,
  111. 4:31lunch special templates, or lunch
  112. 4:33special flyer. for real estate agents.
  113. 4:36If that's the customer base you're
  114. 4:38targeting, you can search those
  115. 4:40platforms for real estate flyer
  116. 4:41templates, openhouse flyer templates,
  117. 4:43rental listing templates, and what
  118. 4:45you're looking for when you're searching
  119. 4:48are patterns, things like what templates
  120. 4:50appear again and again, which products
  121. 4:53have reviews and are the reviews good,
  122. 4:55what words are sellers using in their
  123. 4:58titles, and are they selling one
  124. 5:00template or bundles? Also, how are they
  125. 5:04showing their product images? Now, we're
  126. 5:06not looking to copy anybody's methods.
  127. 5:09You are studying demand by doing this
  128. 5:12research. The goal is to find out what
  129. 5:14buyers already want and then you can
  130. 5:17create your own editable templates using
  131. 5:20KD around that specific need. Now, let
  132. 5:24me grab my computer so we can get this
  133. 5:26process started and we can create
  134. 5:28together. Now, [clears throat] let's do
  135. 5:29this step by step. And again, we're
  136. 5:31going to click on the link in the
  137. 5:33description for KD. And let's say that
  138. 5:36we're targeting editable template for
  139. 5:39restaurants. Let us search KD templates
  140. 5:42as I'm showing you here for restaurant
  141. 5:44menu. And we get many options to choose
  142. 5:46from as you can see here on the screen.
  143. 5:48Rockstars. So, we're going to choose
  144. 5:50this particular template. And we're
  145. 5:52going to go ahead and select it as I'm
  146. 5:54doing here. And as you can see, we can
  147. 5:56change the colors of the template as I'm
  148. 5:59showing you how to do here on screen.
  149. 6:00It's pretty simple, very user friendly.
  150. 6:03You can change the images as well. Let
  151. 6:05us search K photos for sandwiches as an
  152. 6:08example. And let's find a sandwich photo
  153. 6:11or image that we can use to replace this
  154. 6:14one here on screen. Just click on it and
  155. 6:16let's go ahead and replace it. We can
  156. 6:18also use Kit AI and we can describe an
  157. 6:22image as I'm doing here on screen with
  158. 6:24this particular prompt that I'm
  159. 6:26entering. And then we're going to click
  160. 6:28on generate. And when you get the image
  161. 6:31like this one here, you can use the
  162. 6:33generated image. You may need to remove
  163. 6:35the background by clicking background
  164. 6:37remover right here as I'm doing and then
  165. 6:40just position it on the template as you
  166. 6:43see fit. Now you can also search for a
  167. 6:45lunch special flyer. And again, Kit
  168. 6:48gives us a variety of options to choose
  169. 6:51from as you can see here. And what you
  170. 6:53want to do is customize your template to
  171. 6:55make it uniquely yours. Now, let's say
  172. 6:58your goal is to create editable
  173. 7:00templates for realters because they're
  174. 7:02always looking for marketing material.
  175. 7:04We're going to go ahead and search KD
  176. 7:06template for property listing flyer as
  177. 7:09an example. And I think the options that
  178. 7:12we're seeing here, even without us
  179. 7:15customizing them, they're pretty
  180. 7:17impressive and they can cater to any
  181. 7:20market and any price point in real
  182. 7:22estate, whether it's low income or
  183. 7:24luxury properties. So, they're very
  184. 7:26versatile. But let us select this
  185. 7:28template as an example for editing or
  186. 7:30customizing. And let us go ahead and
  187. 7:32enter this prompt in the Kit AI command
  188. 7:35box here. And what I'm going to say is
  189. 7:37change the property on this flyer to a
  190. 7:40modern luxury beachfront property and
  191. 7:44change the template colors and themes to
  192. 7:46be more high-end. Or you can enter any
  193. 7:50prompt of your choosing and hit
  194. 7:52generate. And rockstars, here's the
  195. 7:55result. I think this is pretty good. And
  196. 7:57again, you can regenerate if you want to
  197. 7:59get more options to choose from. Now,
  198. 8:01let me show you the feature I'm most
  199. 8:03excited about. Let's search templates
  200. 8:06for openhouse flyer. And again, we're
  201. 8:09going to get many options on KD to
  202. 8:11choose from as I'm showing you here. So,
  203. 8:13let's go ahead and select one to
  204. 8:15customize. And this time around, we're
  205. 8:17going to select AI video board. Now,
  206. 8:20let's go ahead and choose the template
  207. 8:22size as I'm doing here. And we're going
  208. 8:24to choose a 9 by6 aspect ratio because
  209. 8:27it would be perfect for our mobile
  210. 8:29phones, which is where most of this
  211. 8:31content is viewed by potential customers
  212. 8:33anyway. and we're going to leverage C
  213. 8:36dance 2.0 which is the video generation
  214. 8:39tool that is built into KD. Let's also
  215. 8:42choose the video length and select audio
  216. 8:44because we want sound for our content.
  217. 8:47Now next we're going to enter a video
  218. 8:49generation prompt like this one that I'm
  219. 8:52showing you here on screen. And you're
  220. 8:55then going to hit generate. Feel free
  221. 8:57rockstars to modify the prompt based on
  222. 9:00the results that you want. No rock
  223. 9:02stars, here are the results.
  224. 9:06[music]
  225. 9:10Listen, I think that was pretty
  226. 9:12impressive. And like I said earlier,
  227. 9:14this is one of the reasons why I find KD
  228. 9:16to be so unique when it comes to
  229. 9:18designing templates. As most of the
  230. 9:20design tools out there, they don't allow
  231. 9:23you to generate videos this simply and
  232. 9:26build video assets in the actual
  233. 9:29template. And that way you're not just
  234. 9:31sticking to static designs. Your [music]
  235. 9:34creativity rock stars, it has no limits.
  236. 9:37And I'm hopeful that if [music] you take
  237. 9:39this seriously, your editable template
  238. 9:43sales will have no limits as well. Now,
  239. 9:46what I just showed you are one-off
  240. 9:48products. They're simple, they're
  241. 9:50searchable, and they're easy for buyers
  242. 9:52to understand. But a buyer may not only
  243. 9:55need one item. So one-off templates
  244. 9:58allow you to serve the market quickly.
  245. 10:00But I encourage you to create bundle.
  246. 10:02Let's take as an example a beauty
  247. 10:04business bundle could include service
  248. 10:07menus, price list, booking policy, an
  249. 10:11appointment reminder, promotional
  250. 10:13flyers, client review posts, a thank you
  251. 10:15card as an example. It could also
  252. 10:17include Instagram post and Instagram
  253. 10:19stories. Bundles work well because they
  254. 10:22feel like a complete toolkit for whoever
  255. 10:25is buying them. That way the buyer is
  256. 10:27not just buying one design. They're
  257. 10:29buying a mini marketing kit and they can
  258. 10:32make the product feel more valuable with
  259. 10:34consistency. Now step two is to create
  260. 10:37the template access link which is very
  261. 10:40important. And you are not selling a
  262. 10:43screenshot. No, what you're doing
  263. 10:45instead is giving them access to the
  264. 10:48editable template. So once your template
  265. 10:50is ready inside KD, what you want to do
  266. 10:53next is to create and share the template
  267. 10:57access link. What you don't want to do
  268. 11:00is to send a link where customers can
  269. 11:01edit your original work file. You want
  270. 11:04to use the correct template sharing
  271. 11:06options that are available in KD. And
  272. 11:08I'm going to place the instructions in
  273. 11:11the description. And I'm showing you
  274. 11:13here on a high level how to get this
  275. 11:15done. After you create the access link,
  276. 11:18you want to make sure that you test it.
  277. 11:19Open the link in a private browser as if
  278. 11:22a customer would or a different browser
  279. 11:24where you're not logged in to your
  280. 11:26account so you're able to see how the
  281. 11:28customer will experience the link. The
  282. 11:30customer should be able to open the
  283. 11:32template, customize it, and be able to
  284. 11:35use it in their business. You also need
  285. 11:37to ensure that your original file stays
  286. 11:39protected. That way a customer cannot
  287. 11:42take the link and send it to multiple
  288. 11:44people and they get your product free.
  289. 11:46It should only be downloadable by one
  290. 11:49customer or accessed by one customer.
  291. 11:52And this is one of the most important
  292. 11:54steps in the whole process. Now step
  293. 11:56three is to create the PDF delivery
  294. 11:59file. Why do you need this? Because most
  295. 12:01marketplaces do not want you to upload
  296. 12:04only a link. They want you to upload a
  297. 12:07digital file. So what you're going to do
  298. 12:08is you're going to create a simple PDF
  299. 12:11file that contains the template access
  300. 12:13link. And you can use KD to do this as
  301. 12:16I'm showing you here using KD chat. And
  302. 12:18you can use chat GPT as well to create a
  303. 12:21simple PDF with this prompt that I'm
  304. 12:23showing you here on screen that you can
  305. 12:25screen capture and enter to get that PDF
  306. 12:28where you're going to embed the link.
  307. 12:30This is the file your buyer is going to
  308. 12:32download after they make the purchase.
  309. 12:34And this PDF, as an example, can say
  310. 12:37something like, "Thank you for your
  311. 12:38purchase. Click the button below to
  312. 12:41access your editable template." Then
  313. 12:43what you want to do next is to create a
  314. 12:45big button that says, "Click here to
  315. 12:48access template." If it's a bundle, the
  316. 12:51button can say something like, "Click
  317. 12:53here to access your template bundle."
  318. 12:55Then you want to add some instructions
  319. 12:57in that PDF, like step one, click the
  320. 13:00access button. Step two, open the
  321. 13:02editable template. Step three, customize
  322. 13:04the text, colors, photos, logos, and
  323. 13:07your business details. Step four,
  324. 13:09download your final design. And step
  325. 13:12five, post online or print as is needed.
  326. 13:15Now, you also want to add an important,
  327. 13:18what I'm going to call a disclaimer,
  328. 13:20which is this is a digital product. No
  329. 13:22physical item will be shipped. You are
  330. 13:24responsible for customizing the template
  331. 13:27for your own business. You also want to
  332. 13:29tell the customer to download the PDF as
  333. 13:32a PDF, not as a PNG or a JPEG because it
  334. 13:35may not keep the link clickable. Now,
  335. 13:38step four is to create listing images.
  336. 13:41For your product to sell, people need to
  337. 13:43see visuals. These images, they sell the
  338. 13:46product before the customer reads the
  339. 13:47description. For one-off templates, you
  340. 13:49can show the templates. And for bundles,
  341. 13:52you can show all the templates in the
  342. 13:54kit as small thumbnails. Now, let's move
  343. 13:56to step five, which is to write the
  344. 13:58product title. And what you want to do
  345. 14:01is to make sure you write a title that's
  346. 14:03searchable. Do not make it too clever.
  347. 14:06As an example, for an editable nail tech
  348. 14:09price list template, which is a one-off
  349. 14:11product, you can use a title like
  350. 14:14editable nail tech priceless template
  351. 14:17for beauty business owners. For a
  352. 14:20bundle, you can say editable beauty
  353. 14:23business marketing template bundle for
  354. 14:25nail tech, lash assistant, salons, and
  355. 14:28spas. The title should tell the buyer
  356. 14:30exactly what it is that they're going to
  357. 14:32get and who it's for. Step six is to
  358. 14:35write the product description. And for
  359. 14:37oneoff templates, the description could
  360. 14:39say something like I'm showing you here
  361. 14:41on screen, which again you can
  362. 14:43screenshot and you can use it as a
  363. 14:45guide. And you should also include, like
  364. 14:48I said earlier, how it works and the
  365. 14:50fact that it needs to be downloaded as a
  366. 14:52PDF. Now, step seven is to price your
  367. 14:55one-off templates or your bundles. And a
  368. 14:58simple one-off template may sell for
  369. 15:02about $5 to $12. And you can get this
  370. 15:04from the research that I mentioned
  371. 15:06earlier. A bundle, which is a small
  372. 15:08bundle, could go for $19 to $39. And a
  373. 15:11premium business kit could sell for as
  374. 15:13much as $97. And there are no fixed
  375. 15:16rules when it comes to pricing. Just
  376. 15:18find a starting point and test it with
  377. 15:20your market to see if people are
  378. 15:22converting. If you find that people are
  379. 15:24not biting, then you might want to tweak
  380. 15:26your price, your description, and
  381. 15:28different things to make sure that
  382. 15:29you're grabbing attention. Now, step
  383. 15:31eight is to upload the product to sell.
  384. 15:34And you can sell it on platforms like
  385. 15:36Etsy, Gumroad, PayHip, Creative Market,
  386. 15:40Shopify, Standtore, Beacons, or on your
  387. 15:43own website, which is where I sell my
  388. 15:46editable template. I'll use Etsy as an
  389. 15:48example because many of you are already
  390. 15:51searching for digital templates on Etsy.
  391. 15:53What you want to do is to go ahead and
  392. 15:55create a new listing. Choose the digital
  393. 15:57product or the digital file. Upload your
  394. 16:00PDF delivery file, add the listing
  395. 16:02images, and add the product title, the
  396. 16:04product description, and make sure you
  397. 16:06add keywords and tags because that's
  398. 16:08what customers are going to be searching
  399. 16:10for for your products to pop up on KD.
  400. 16:13Make sure you add your price and preview
  401. 16:15the listing before publishing to check
  402. 16:18to ensure that things like the product
  403. 16:21and the way it presents is clear and
  404. 16:24that it indicates that there's no
  405. 16:26physical product and that the buyer is
  406. 16:27going to get a PDF with the link
  407. 16:29embedded in the PDF. Then you can go
  408. 16:31ahead and publish your product. Once
  409. 16:33your listing is live, the customer can
  410. 16:35purchase and download the PDF
  411. 16:37automatically, which means you do not
  412. 16:39need to manually send the template every
  413. 16:41time somebody buys your product. Again,
  414. 16:43we're trying to make money here while we
  415. 16:45sleep. Step nine is to promote the
  416. 16:47product because it's one thing to
  417. 16:49create, but if you're not promoting that
  418. 16:51product, the likelihood of you getting
  419. 16:53sales will be slim to none. Do not just
  420. 16:55upload and hope people are going to find
  421. 16:57it. Create content that shows the value
  422. 17:00because the more clearly people
  423. 17:02understand how your product works, the
  424. 17:04easier it's going to be for them to turn
  425. 17:06it into something that they can use.
  426. 17:09Now, rock stars, if I had to start over
  427. 17:11online, like I said earlier, I would
  428. 17:13look for a product that is easy to
  429. 17:15deliver, that is useful to a clear
  430. 17:18buyer, and that has the possibility to
  431. 17:20sell more than once. You do not need to
  432. 17:23start big. And if I had to start over,
  433. 17:26this is one of the first products that I
  434. 17:29would
