  • You don't need a complex sales funnel when starting your online business. You need real conversations with your audience. Everyone obsesses over automated email sequences with upsells and tripwires. But if you're just starting as a creator, that's complete overkill. Here's what actually works for selling digital products when you're small: talk to people directly. Send a DM to someone who engaged with your content. Ask what they're struggling with in their business or life. Actually listen. Then offer your digital product as a solution. That's a sales funnel. A human one that converts. Yes, automate your email marketing later. Build sequences when you scale your creator business. But right now your superpower is being small enough to be personal with every potential customer. The creators making their first sales in 2025 aren't hiding behind automation. They're showing up in DMs, comments, and real conversations about their digital products.
  • Your first digital product shouldn't be your best idea. I know that sounds backwards for new creators. But your best idea deserves your experienced skills. Your first product is where you actually learn those creator skills. Start simple with a Canva template, checklist, or quick guide. Get it launched. Make your first sale online. Learn what your audience actually needs versus what you think they need. Your perfect idea is sitting in your notes app getting more paralyzing every day. Meanwhile, your good enough product could be making you money and teaching you valuable lessons right now. Save your big course idea for when you know how to sell digital products, deliver transformation, and understand what your target audience truly wants. Your first digital product is your tuition for building an online business. Your fifth product is your real payoff.
  • Everyone talks about building an email list for your online business, but here's why it actually matters. Social media platforms change algorithms overnight and tank your reach as a creator. Your email list is yours forever. Email subscribers are warmer leads because they already said yes to hearing from you. Your social media conversion rate might be 1-2%, but email converts at 5-10% or higher for digital product sales. One email to your list can generate more revenue than an entire week of social media posts. That's the power of email marketing for creators in 2025. Start with a simple freebie like a guide or template. Get people subscribed. Nurture your audience with valuable content about digital products and building an online business. When you own your email audience, you actually own your creator business. No algorithm can take that away.
