and it's exactly how my wife and I
started our other online business now if
you haven't seen our last video yet I'm
gonna go ahead and put it right up here
but it's how we started our business and
I walk you through the exact
step-by-step all the way through on how
we created a business that generated
over eighty thousand dollars of revenue
in just ten months online with the big
part of that being digital products okay
now I'm not talking online courses I'm
talking simple things a simple step by
step a blueprint a recipe or a recipe
book or even a booklet an Excel document
there's something that you know that you
have some expertise in most likely that
would be helpful for a beginner okay now
it doesn't necessarily have to be
business-related it could be within
whatever niche that you might be wanting
to get involved in whether it be gaming
or gardening landscaping whatever your
talent and passion is this is a great
spot for you to create a how to as a
digital product and actually sell online
so if you stay through the end of this
video here's exactly
I'm gonna show you I'm going to create a
new account and actually start from the
very beginning with the platform that we
use which we use a company called send
owl
so I'm gonna walk you through that whole
thing I'm gonna show you some of their
features exactly how easy it is to get
started and by the end of this video
we'll have a new digital product up
ready to go now I'm gonna give you that
digital product as well it's down in the
link in the description below if you
click on that it is free but I've got
another special for you at the end of
the video so make sure you stay tuned
but let's go ahead and jump on the
computer and let's get started all right
we are now on the desktop computer and
what I'm gonna be walking you guys
through as I said in the introduction of
this video I'm gonna be walking you
through how to sell digital products
without a website and the tool that we
use to do a lot of our digital products
is send out now at a point in our other
business we're actually using send out a
lot for our free downloads that's one
thing that we use this for because we we
do a lot of free downloads for our
customers because there's different
packs that go along with our monthly
product but we've moved a lot of our
actual purchasing over to our
WooCommerce web site that we built but
that's not the point of this video right
this video is how you can sell digital
products without a website now what is
really awesome about cendol and I'm
gonna walk you through a couple pieces
here first then I'm actually going to go
through the signup part I'm gonna walk
you through setup and all the way to the
point that we have a new digital product
that will actually be up for sale now
I'm actually not going to put it for
sale I'm gonna make it free but I'm
going to show you something kind of cool
towards the end of this video and I will
actually have a link to the digital
product down in the description below
when we're done so if you want to see
that make sure you stay through the end
of this video is I'm gonna walk you
through this all step-by-step okay but
first a little bit more about send owl
so you have an idea of what you've got
here so what's really cool about this as
it says sell more digital products with
send owl the only ecommerce platform
that cares about conversion rates ease
of use and of course owls right who
doesn't love an owl but you can sell
what's cool about this is you can sell
directly to your customers right and
then you can get paid by them
now you can get paid by both stripe or
PayPal which is really cool and so you
can get integration done for either one
of those and then what's really cool is
all you do is we're gonna create and
upload the product we're gonna integrate
the payment gateways create conversion
optimized checkout and the customer
gets that automatically delivered to
their email and then we get paid and
it's super fast super easy so what's
really cool in 2017 survey 90% of
sundial customers said they would
recommend us to a friend I think this is
one of the easiest platforms I've used
online it's one of the reasons why I
hoot and holler about it and I mean I'm
big on digital products anyway like I
said we've built our company basically
on the foundation of digital products
versus a physical product or coaching
and some of that stuff so we do some
other parts and pieces but this is
absolutely the best thing that we have
found the other really cool thing that I
want to walk you guys through is there's
different ways that you can get your
check outs to work there's multiple
different payment options you can sell
it from anywhere right because we are
talking about the internet but you can
also set this up to have affiliates sell
for you so we've talked more on this
channel about affiliate marketing well
if you've got a product that you're
selling you can actually sign up
affiliates to go sell your product and
then they earn a commission on that as
well if you have multiple products that
you're selling you can create those
upsells right here in San Dell as well
they have options for cart abandonment
and then also one thing that's really
cool called pay-what-you-want pricing
and I'll show you that here as we get a
little deeper as well but on top of just
selling products you can actually do
memberships on here and subscriptions so
if you're creating a new product that
kind of drifted they get that every
single month kind of what me and my wife
did you can actually have it set to
where they receive that product every
month and then you get the recurring
subscription price but a lot of this is
really easy they've got a shopping cart
it is safe and secure and I'm gonna just
gonna go ahead and walk you guys through
this now when it comes to pricing
you have three different options you
have standard self-hosting and then you
have subscription now what I've used is
actually standard okay me and my wife
our main part of our company is actually
still on this premium at the 24 dollars
a month however if you've got a lot of
products you can't upgrade that into the
$39 for 250 products what we tend to do
is ours our products kind of expire to a
degree so we just kind of delete out the
old ones and create the new ones and
I'll kind of walk you through that but
the cool part is you can actually try
this free for 30 days now there is a
link down in the description below if
you want to try out Sindel that is our
referral link so if you find this
information helpful and you want to give
this a shot I would love it if you used
our referral link down below it helps
out our channel and helps us grow our
business as well so and then we're gonna
be here to continue helping you to grow
yours but we're gonna go ahead and start
this free trial right now so of course
we want to go ahead and put in the name
now I'm going to use a different email
that I just recently set up now you guys
know where to email me and if you'd like
to and we're gonna go ahead and join the
mailing list because they do send out
some really good tips in their emails so
just want to kind of let you guys know
about that all right so we're gonna save
the password and we're in we are we're
100% in now let me just make sure
there's no email that I need to go
through here and nope we're just in so
it's that easy
so the very first thing that we want to
do is we want to connect with the email
address so we're actually going to
change that okay the PayPal email
and now we want to go ahead and add a
our very first product so when you click
on product this is where you're gonna
see four different box here right so you
can have just a normal product you can
set up a service you can set up a bundle
so if you're doing multiple of your
products together that you already have
in here you can actually just link those
existing ones together so that your
customer can do that all in one and then
you can also set up a subscription so
what we're gonna do for this tutorial is
I'm gonna walk you just through setting
up a simple product ok now the product
that we're going to be selling ish
selling right is a simple Excel document
ok so I put this together for myself
however I think it's a really good tool
to actually use to have actually find
and track affiliate sales now these are
not real numbers this was just me kind
of going through and testing to make
sure everything worked for you guys
right but this is an affiliate marketing
tracker and so what this does is it
gives you a full 12 month so as you sign
up for affiliate programs right you can
actually go through and track your
affiliate sales and you can put these in
here and it'll give you an idea of what
affiliate programs are doing well for
you but also it's important ok one thing
that I definitely made a mistake in our
very first year in business was I was
not tracking each affiliate program like
to the detail and when it came time to
do taxes cuz it's about that season I
had to go back through a ton of time and
track down each payment and who did it
come from and what did we sell and all
of that so this just makes it really
easy to go through and do now what I've
also put in here to make this a valuable
tool right is I put in links to a few
different affiliate programs but also
spots for direct so we've got Amazon
Associates probably the easiest one that
you can sign up for to start out but
also CJ affiliates ShareASale clickbank
max web and impact I'm going to be doing
an in-depth video as well going through
all of these different programs that'll
actually walk you guys through each one
and kind of what you can sell from
within these affiliate programs ok
but this is gonna be what it is and I've
got two years set up so 2020 and then
2021 and then you can create a new one
from there or I can make another one and
create another product right but this is
going to be the product that we were
actually doing so I'm just gonna go
ahead and hit that right there and we're
gonna come back here to send owl and
that's going to be the name affiliate
marketing tracker we're gonna go find
that file and so this is going to be
under OPI OPI for operation passive
income affiliate marketing tracker and
then I'm gonna go ahead and put this at
zero zero zero okay I'm gonna make this
a free product but I'm gonna show you
some cool ways that you can actually
edit this now here is then this just
gives you the the link right there so
this is the direct link so if I just
copy this and I go through and I just
paste this into the web browser this is
what the customer is going to see so
your order is free enter your details to
retrieve your order now not gonna do
this part yet because there's a few
other setups things that we want to do
as well okay so I'm going to exit out of
that and I'm going to go through and
some of the settings that we're gonna
need to do okay
but first let's go ahead and edit the
product and so you'll see that you got
the name the price and all of that and
then we'll click Advanced Options and
you can say prices guide okay so this is
letting the buyer pay any amount they
want above the product price so I'm
gonna go ahead and click on that single
quantity limiting cart you can put a
sales limit so if you're worried about
if it's something that's gonna be used
on social media and you're worried about
the amount of times that it could be
used you may want to put a limit on
there or if you're putting this at a
limited quantity kind of a thing you can
do that you can set your currency
download page folder download how many
download attempts that they get okay
which I'm gonna make this unlimited all
right download validity so how long
before that actually expires for them
and then a redirect
are L so if I want to put in like a
thank you page on my website for them
going through and downloading this I can
redirect them to something else that I
want them to see okay but I'm gonna go
ahead and save that so I put that as
prices guide now like I said this
affiliate marketing tracker is gonna be
down below for you guys it is free if
you want to download it but if you
wanted to toss something anyone or
anything our way you're more than
welcome to do that right never expected
always appreciated it just helps us grow
our channel and helps us create and
prove that this online passive income
thing is a real deal right so I'm going
to go ahead and save that let's go ahead
and check out our settings because
there's some really important things
that you want to set up here as well so
number one payment gateways so in here
you can also take the time and you can
add in stripe right so you can take live
payments now I'm not going to walk you
through exactly how to do that but they
do have some simple step by step stripe
is well worth setting up for yourself if
you're going to be doing anything online
I think that's what's going to give your
customers the ability to pay with their
credit card and/or debit card and not
just a PayPal account okay
so that part is really important taxes
now for the u.s. at least depending upon
the state to always double check on your
state however in the state of Florida
where I am there is no tax required on
any digital product so that part's
pretty cool
checkout you can actually change your
checkout templates right so you can come
through here and you can see there's a
few different options so you have the
default which is a very simple one the
e-commerce checkout which we can go
ahead and check out here and so we can
do preview and so this would be the
preview that you can go through and put
here you can put in your details your
order and all of that stuff and then you
also have the marketers so we'll preview
this one here and this is the one that
we use for our checkout typically right
so you can put in your email address any
other question that you want to put in
here your terms and conditions that
you've preset for this so
that they have to accept those terms and
conditions and then that you they go
through and they can check out right and
you can see you've got the stripe or the
paypal and then it'll take you to the
paypal afterwards so a few different
options so I'm gonna go ahead and I'm
going to use well let me double check
this one okay so I actually like this
other one better because it's got to
check out information on just a single
page so for me that's better for rock
for my customer so I want to go ahead
and hit use on that one and then for
checkout options we can shape change the
logo so if I wanted to go ahead and do
that I actually already have a couple
things here
so this I'm actually going to use as the
product image so I pre-made this so I'm
gonna go ahead and download that real
fast okay so we've got that and then I
can also do that in here as well and
I'll walk you through how to change that
so require the buyers name I always say
yes required the buyers country don't
really care about that I don't require
the buyers address allow gifting
typically don't because I want them to
refer instead require receiver consent
for product update emails do Anessa so I
want that I just want any update that I
have to actually go to the customer you
send out order numbers or you can use
custom import and invoice numbers so I
can end up saying I want this to say OPI
and I want it to start at one five one
four eight six five there's where I want
that to start however I want to kind of
go through and put that and then I can
set in my terms and conditions which you
do want to do and there are some
websites out there when it comes to
digital product terms and conditions
standardized terms and conditions you
can put in your company's information I
want to say the one that I use is called
I think it might be on my other computer
but it's called like legally or
something to that that a I'll find that
I'll put it in the link in the
description below for you guys but I'm
going to go ahead and and then you can
return the buyer to an external URL
right so if I want to do that I'm going
to go ahead and take them back to
my website and then I'll probably create
it like a thank you page to go along
with that so I'm going to go ahead and
hit update their custom check out fields
you can go through and put anything
anything that you kind of want to go
through and do than that that really
kind of comes through on like if you're
trying to collect more information about
the person who's buying right and then
shipping we're not going to worry about
shipping cuz this is a digital product
let's go ahead and go back in here now
you can also do downloads in postorder
and some of that stuff your affiliate
program that you set up this is actually
really easy to set up
alright then in here you can now also
see you have like PDF stamping custom
code notifications like the email that
the customer receives you can edit some
of this stuff right so that you can kind
of change that you can manage the email
template what notifications you receive
so if you want to know every time that
you get one or you can just get them in
by sales summary so I typically do a
weekly sales summary and then a monthly
accounting report just to keep track of
the numbers like I said the numbers
become very important you'll find that
once you hit once you hit tax time right
and then talking through marketing so
this is where we're gonna talk about the
mailing list so this is extremely
important I highly recommend that you
set yourself up an email list if you're
gonna do anything online while as much
as you would love to have as much as you
would love to have your customers always
see your social media or always see your
video or always see all that you're
there they're not going to alright
they're not going to but setting up an
email campaign an email list gives you a
one-way direct send to your customers
now they can always go through and they
can decide not to receive your emails
anymore but it's the absolute best way
to kind of go through and do it so for
MailChimp is the one that I use so I'm
gonna go ahead and set that in real fast
I'm gonna use a different screen because
I don't agency in my email list as of
yet we're gonna snag the API key from
here we're going to copy this in a
single opt-in and then voila and then on
the list you can actually choose which
list that you want them to be updated on
so we've got the email list all set up
and ready to go
now discounts if you wanted to add a
discount code you absolutely can you can
set this up however you want to this can
be a percentage or a fixed amount
discount percentage minimum card value
so you can do all of that really easily
you can set up upsells so if they buy
one thing you can offer them to add this
other thing right on when it comes to
your affiliates you can see your
affiliate sales and then cart
abandonments you can actually create a
new action that will actually kind of
trigger something to keep somebody on so
if they're looking that they're about
ready to leave you can pop up a 10%
coupon so that you can go through and
see that so and then on the analytics
they give you really easy analytics to
see all of your income your products
your discounts your upsells abandoned
and some of that stuff so what I did
want to show you guys is how easy it is
to kind of track some of the stuff so I
actually pulled up some prior data when
we were still selling with this before
we moved everything to our website and
so we started our business in February
15th of 2019 ok from March 1st to April
30th just on the digital products that
we were selling we did just about nine
thousand seven hundred and sixty-nine
dollars just through a handful of
products ok you'll see some of those are
deleted products now because we kind of
go through and refresh those but you
will give you your conversion rates so
you'll see how many started how many
completed and how many things you gave
away for free because like I said we
gave a lot of weight for free in the
beginning of our of our business and
then the average order value now if you
guys watched the video that I did and
I'm gonna go ahead and put it up above
here real fast but if I want if I if you
watched that video I walked you through
how Steven selling a digital product for
ten dollars gives you a great entry
point to start making money online you
know
when you think of adding an additional
$10,000 in two months from one thing
that you're selling it makes a huge
difference right and there's probably
something that you can create that's as
simple as a tracker or a step by step or
a PDF and all of those files you can
upload right here to this platform right
all right now once we come in here
you'll see your dashboard right so
that's gonna be shown in here and then
you'll see the products that you have so
right now we have our affiliate
marketing tracker I'm gonna go ahead and
I'm going to we're gonna choose a file
for the product image we're gonna make
this look good don't mind my way too
many downloads and then I can put in a
description which HTML is allowed on
that right so each program there so very
simple right so we can go ahead and hit
save now and now as I come in here for
the actual checkout right I'm gonna go
ahead and hit save on that we're gonna
go back to the product page and then you
can view the button code and then you
can actually also have like by now Add
to Cart view Cart product sales page so
you can take a look at this one right so
if I just take this view even or you can
embed this as a custom HTML but if I
just put this in here right here's just
a very simple view page nothing super
fancy but again this is us being able to
do this without having a website right
so in that you can hit the Buy Now and
then you've got the information name
email address complete order and voila
and then also too you can go through and
you can let's see if you can edit
and like I said you can actually go
through since this is a pay what you
want if you wanted to put a dollar you
could do that and you can hit checkout
okay
at which point will actually give you
that PayPal option and then I'm gonna be
putting stripe in here as well so I'm
going to be using this version of send
owl now for operation passive income
because I plan on coming up with a lot
of really cool tools a lot of those
we're gonna be giving away for free but
also as we create some really more
robust tools and really good systems
that will help you start and launch your
business those will be available and I'm
gonna be using send owl to use that for
parts of it especially for there are
free stuff so make sure again if you
have not right underneath where I am
we've got that subscribe button and then
once you click on that it's gonna be a
little bell I'm gonna be recording and
posting videos every Monday and Thursday
so be sure if you haven't yet I'm gonna
give you just a moment go and click that
button I want to keep you around
now I also wanted to show you a really
easy way because like I said we're
trying to be able to sell this without
having a web page right so what you can
do is you can just hit copy on that
clipboard and then on social media what
you can do so I can go ahead and post
this right in to my group now if you
guys would like or interested in all of
the stuff that we're talking about when
it comes to building an online business
finding new passive income streams I do
have a new Facebook group that is open
to all members it's not a pave group
nothing of that nature but I'm gonna be
in here a lot and it's just called
operation passive income group right so
more than welcome to come and join
there's only a handful so you guys would
be like a founding member if you're
watching this within probably the first
30 days at this post but what I can do
is I can actually go through and I can
write a quick message to the group and
then I can paste that right into the a
Facebook post right and I can put hey
everyone
just wanted to let you know I have a new
free tool help you stay organized
with your affiliate marketing right yeah
if you don't know what affiliate
marketing is make sure you guys again
hit subscribe down below I'm going to be
talking a lot about affiliate marketing
and some of the top top programs that
you can actually join now I recommend
joining programs depending upon what
niche that you're in but also having
direct programs as well right and now I
actually put that in this tracker for
you guys as well so direct one direct to
direct 3 so as an example the link for
send al if you guys want to try this
again I would love it if you used our
link as it does help this channel grow
help support sort of support me and what
I'm trying to do but you can actually
get this for 30 days using my link below
but also that is a direct affiliate link
for me so that would be an example of a
direct affiliate link now in the future
once you actually take the time to build
yourself a website
I do recommend Bluehost I've got a link
for that down before you guys below as
well and that's only 395 a month when
you use my link so again that would be a
direct number to which you can use
Bluehost and then tada there's another
direct affiliate link so you're using
direct programs you can find companies
that offer that directly that's where
you would change that name here and so
you would actually type send owl right
and that would be one of the affiliate
programs that you put in here and then
you can always just go through and right
click hit insert and boom you've got an
extra line that you can have for a new
direct affiliate program
but super-easy and then once you're done
with this you just hit post and then
there's a link directly within your
group or within your Twitter or within
whatever you use for social media or
down in the link below right so that's
where you can have that link directly to
your digital product and if you're
charging $10 $5 $4 $100 whatever the
case may be your customers can check out
easily and then you're gonna get that
email that says Bing you sold one so
there it is there is a step by step we
just set up send owl we set up a new
digital product I walked you through
exactly how to create that link for it
how to post it on your social media and
guys this is one of the best ways to
make money online is through digital
products because now that I've made this
tracker once I can go through and sell
this over and over and over again and
just to give you like another example
another one that we built for our other
our other business is a our direct sales
business tracker so again it's another
Excel document that we created for our
customers right and it tracks inventory
and it's got a monthly a monthly system
here that they use this is one that we
sell for $10 a month within our other
community and it's you know we've made a
few thousand dollars on it and it's been
a but it's been a great tool for our
customers right so just to give you some
other ideas things that you can think of
that you can turn into a digital product
within your niche right now if you guys
have not seen it yet I would definitely
take a look at the last video that I
made on how we actually built an 80
thousand dollar a year business within
ten months online so be sure to check
that out but also I'm going to be going
through and creating new videos every
Monday and Thursday so be sure to check
