If you sell digital products on Etsy — or you've been thinking about starting — I just built something you'll want. It's a 12-month Etsy Seasonal Trend and Listing Calendar. Every month shows you what buyers are searching for RIGHT NOW, what needs to be live in your shop, and what you should be building 6 to 8 weeks out for the next season. The sellers making consistent passive income on Etsy aren't reacting to trends. They listed for them months ago. This calendar makes that easy. It's available inside Passive & Paid, my Skool community built specifically for Etsy digital product sellers. The full 6-module curriculum, monthly live calls, and a growing resource vault — starting at $9/month. First 7 days are free. Come grab the calendar. 🔗 https://www.skool.com/passive-paid-9791

I've been selling digital products on Etsy for years. Just crossed 11,000 sales in one of my shops. Most people don't know that about me because I've never made a big deal out of it. I was just building it. Now I'm teaching it. Passive & Paid is a new community for digital product sellers and Etsy shop owners who want to build real income from their shop. Curriculum is fully built. Community is live. Founding member pricing is available right now. If this is you or someone you know: 👉 https://www.skool.com/passive-paid-9791

When I started selling digital products on Etsy, I did what most people do. I watched hours of YouTube videos. Read every blog post I could find. Tried tip after tip after tip. And I still had no idea if what I was doing was actually going to work. Nobody was telling me when to list. Nobody explained how Etsy's search algorithm actually decided who to show my products to. I had listings sitting there for weeks with barely any views, and I couldn't figure out if I was doing something wrong or just needed to wait. I kept going anyway. Kept adjusting. Kept testing. Years later: 11,000+ sales. Top 1% seller in the US. A shop that earns whether I'm at my desk or not. But here's the honest truth. I wasted a lot of time getting there. Time I could have saved if someone who had already figured it out had just shown me the path. That's why I built Passive & Paid. It's a curriculum and community for Etsy digital product sellers who are tired of guessing and ready to build something that actually earns consistently. Six modules covering everything from finding products with real demand, to SEO that gets you found, to building a shop that runs on autopilot. No recycled advice. No vague "post consistently" tips. Just the specific strategy that took me from zero to 11,000 sales, taught in the order you actually need it. There's a 7-day free trial so you can go through the curriculum before you spend a single dollar. And right now, founding member pricing is open for the next 7 members only. $9/mo for Standard or $49/mo for Premium. When those spots are gone, the price goes up. Founding members lock in their rate for life. If you're selling digital products on Etsy (or trying to get started) and you're ready to stop guessing, come check it out. 👉 skool.com/passive-paid-9791

Tomorrow, I'll be sending an email to 5,400+ Pinterest Skool members. The main subject of that email could be YOUR Skool Community. 👀 But first... You need to convince me. Imagine you're sitting across from me and I ask one simple question: Why should I tell 5,400+ entrepreneurs, creators, coaches, and business owners about YOUR community? Sell me. Not with a link. Not with hype. Not with "join my Skool." Tell me: ✅ Who your community is for ✅ What transformation members get ✅ What makes your community different ✅ Why someone should join YOUR community instead of the thousands of others on Skool If your answer stands out, I may feature your community in tomorrow's email. 🚫The Rules ✅ Comment below and SELL ME YOUR SKOOL (no links here) ✅ You MUST participate in the Small Business Weekend inside Pinterest Skool (links allowed) The best communities don't just promote themselves... They show up. They engage. They support other business owners. I'm looking for community owners who do exactly that. Tomorrow morning, I'll be reviewing every submission and choosing one (or more) communities that deserve attention. One comment could put your community in front of 5,400+ members. 👇 Sell Me Your Skool.

I launched a brand new Skool community yesterday. It just hit #191 in the Money category on discovery. I did not have everything ready. I want to be honest about that. I had the first module fully built out, a handful of lessons from modules 2 and 3, a welcome post, community guidelines, and a few engagement prompts ready to go. The rest is still in progress. The full curriculum is coming -- it just is not done yet. In fact, I am loading text based versions before I go back and record videos. What I did have was a warm audience. My first members came from my existing community, people who already knew me, trusted me, and wanted to be in the room early. That is what actually moved the needle. Here is the thing nobody tells you about launching a community: you do not need everything perfect. You need enough for a member to show up, feel like they are in the right place, and have something to do. A clear welcome post. A first lesson. A place to introduce themselves. Something that says "this is real and it is already worth being here." You also need people who are already warm to you. A cold launch into the void is brutal. Bring your people first. Let them set the tone. The takeaway: Launch with enough, not everything. A community that is 40% built with 10 engaged members will outperform a perfect community with no one in it every single time. The action item: If you have been waiting to launch until your community is "ready" -- define what ready actually means. Write down the three things a new member absolutely needs on day one. Just three. Build those. Then open the doors and build the rest while people are inside. The community is Passive & Paid -- for people building Etsy digital product shops. 7-day free trial if you want to come see what "enough to launch" actually looks like in practice.
