HOW I SHARE THE GOOGLE DRIVE LINK WITH CUSTOMERS - I didn't mention this in the video 😏...The PDF you see in the Google folder is the PDF that I upload to Etsy as the product that my customers received. The PDF directs them to my Google Drive folder as well as a bunch of other stuff (directions, etc.). Let me know if you have any questions 😁.
Can i get the instructions guide pdf😅?
@@ARS0363 Thanks for asking. It's one of the bonuses for my students in Planners to Profits. If I ever decide to share it more widely, I'll be sure to let you know! 😊
@@passiveincomewithkaren Thanks mam!
Yes can you please ask Michelle for a video on how to do this from Dropbox?
@@pattiobrien-richardson1881 I can do that as well. I'll add it to my list. :)
Just saying wow. Everything you put in your replies for your customers
Is so extensive and helpful. That’s amazing customer support.
Thanks! The more helpful my directions are upfront, a lot less issues they have so it’s great.
If you're wondering why this along with your other videos have had so many views, it's probably because of me. I have been binge watching them to make sure I get every step correct for my Etsy shop lol thank you so much for your helpful videos. I truly appreciate it in hopes of this being the start of my stationery business 🥰
That's wonderful. I'm thrilled they are helpful for you. Once you get started, I'd love to have you in my course. There's a lot I don't talk about on CZcams because I save very specific strategies for my students. Thanks for being here!
Thank you so much for this. I am in the midst of preparing my first product but have also been wondering how to get prepared with how to help deliver a customer's order for a digital product :) :)
Thank you for this! :) I have a question, when you upload the Bundle planners on google drive, do you upload all pages in one pdf or upload each page (i.e. habit tracker, meal planner, daily schedule etc) individually?
I upload them all in one document. If someone wanted to print individual pages, they still can after opening the entire thing. 👍
Helpful and concise ❤
I’m so glad. Thanks for letting me know.
Hello! Great video- so when someone purchases the planner you manually send them an email with the link to the google drive?
Great question. You don't send anything manually. Depending on what service you are using to sell your products (Etsy, sendowl, etc), you provide a PDF with information including the link to their purchase. Does that make sense?
Can I post a digital download in my CZcams video and the person would have to sign up for my email list? How to I content the 2 things so I can send a link via email? HELP!!
Hi Donna - You just leave your link in the description of the video. Take a look at my description for examples. 👍
When you sell a Google sheets on Etsy that people download, do they have there own copy of the spreadsheet? I mean, not sharing mine. Also, is it possible to lock some sheets or cells from being edited on there copy?
My apologies for the delay in my response. I'm not 100% sure what you're asking but I'll give it a try. When you click on 'share' in Google drive from whatever folder you want them to have access too, be sure to select 'viewer'. Therefore, anyone with that link can view the folder and download individual items. IF you want to see what people will be able to see, go into incognito mode and enter the link you're sharing. That will make you feel more comfortable that you're not giving them access to other items in your own Google drive account.
Per your second question, I don't provide editing access so I'm not sure about that. I'm sure there's a CZcams video somewhere that would explain 😊. Thanks again for your patience.
Great video! Thank you! ☺️🌺
I have a question. When you share a file from Drive, do you create a link that allows anyone to open it? Which option do you choose? Viewer, Commenter, or Editor?
Yes. I create a link that allows anyone with the link to VIEW the item. 😊
Ok thank you, please disregard my question below. Thank you!
@@passiveincomewithkaren what happens if one of your clients shares it with their family etc... they could access it as well?
@@danielb.5156 my thoughts exactly
yeah that's what concerning me. If the link is not restricted to users who buy it .All users can know with whom the files is shared I suppose (if you NOTIFY them via Gdrive then definitely). I am missing something here ?
@@danielb.5156
Thanks so much for this video. I was looking around and couldn't figure out what I should even type in searching for this topic.
My main question though is: won't the customer have access to your Google Drive once they're there to download??
How did you eventually stumble across it. Just wondering what you typed into search and I'll add those keywords :). No, you will only share the exact folder you want them to VIEW. Then, you can always check out the link you're sharing in incognito mode just so you feel comfortable knowing they are only getting access to the exact file or folder they purchased. I have since started using Dropbox and honestly, it's better but it has a fee. Google has a fee eventually for additional space but it's still cheaper.
Do you have a video for doing this in Dropbox? Thank you again. Subscribing!
@@passiveincomewithkaren I hope you see this comment. Or question. What do you mean drop box has a fee? Where does it say or are you saying it has a fee because you needed more storage? And why is Dropbox better than Google drive? I found this video by looking for how to upload digital stickers to Dropbox. I just really didn’t know how to go about this. Possibly will open a shop doing stickers and different artistic things but for now I just help people out and needed to learn how to do this.
@@triggeredlatina sorry for the late reply. I believe dropbox is free until you need more storage and perhaps some advanced features. I moved from Google Drive to Dropbox because my customers where having a very hard time downloading from Google drive regardless of how good my directions were. Some still struggle with dropbox but it's only when they don't follow my directions.
When you sell bundles, like I do, it complicates the downloading process. When someone purchases a single planner for instance, they never have problems downloading from Dropbox or Google Drive. Does that help?
Hey mam!
Thank you for this video.
I have a quick question.
I recently sold my first digital product on ETSY. Payment i have received But the buyer hasn’t received the files yet. When he clicks on the download files it’s showing nothing and saying your order will arrive on 11th may. I mean hows that even possible. When it’s digital one not physical product.
Congrats on your first order. That’s awesome. There are times when digital download customers don’t set up an Etsy account or use a different email address than they thought they did and therefore, don’t have access to the files. This is what I typically send them…
1️⃣ ACCESSING YOUR PURCHASE
A. If you purchased on the Etsy app, please sign into your Etsy account on a mobile browser (i.e. Safari, Chrome) to access the download option.
B. Please see this Help Page for more info, www.etsy.com/help/article/3949.
If that doesn’t work, I ask them to get back to me and I just send them a direct link to the files.
With regard to why it shows a date of arrival, check your account to make sure you don’t have shipping listed as an option. Otherwise, contact Etsy to find out what’s going on.
Hope that helps!
Great video, thank you!
When customer gets link, can they only access that folder, and not back up into any other folders?
Great question. They can only access folders you share a link to. You can test it in an incognito window or have a friend click on the link to see what they see. I had to do that a few times before I trusted it. 👍
@@passiveincomewithkaren Karen, you sound like me lol thanks!
@@passiveincomewithkaren what if the link gets sharedto someone else
What about copyrights on ie., crochet patterns I purchased 20+ years ago. I have all the patterns for crochet Antebellum dresses for Barbie. Please advise. I want to reopen my shop. I’ve never offered these before.
This would be a good research question, perhaps ask AI and see what you get. That being said, my understanding from using copyrighted material in mix media art and selling it (something I had a passion for 10 years ago) is that it had to be over a certain number of years old. I want to say 80-100 but I could be way off on that. Plus, if you do sell it, be sure not to use ‘Barbie’ anywhere in your listing because that is a trademark and could get your shop shut down. Plus, it’s just not legal to do. Does that help?
Hey There, Did you post your auto reply? If so, where? 🤔
Yes. See the greyed out box under my name? If you click on SHOW MORE, you'll get all my info including the auto-reply. :)
I want to avoid customers asking me to crop and resize files outside of what I'm already offering them in my package of 6 sizes. It looks like every seller is offering this concierge service with no extra fee. How are sellers delivering that extra file? Can that link and communication stay within the Etsy platform after they already paid for the final product?
Honestly, I have never had someone ask me for additional sizes. However, I do provide a link to a free resizing service online in the info. I give them. This way they can just resize if they want.
@@passiveincomewithkaren Oh that sounds great. May I ask which provider that is? I'd love to include that in my listings too.
@@carebear4554 I use this one but you can Google 'resize PDF' to see others that may be better for you and your customers - pdfresizer.com/resize :)
@@passiveincomewithkaren Oh I see, you deliver pdf's instead of jpegs. Thanks.
How can i avoid customers resharing the link?
The only way I have found is to require a sign into a customer hub on a platform like Teachery - www.teachery.co/?a=bEeqbp2g and then you can verify purchase.
Not only does this work great but my customer reviews are so much better now that I have my products housed in the hub with tutorials and product tours.
I wish I would have done this a long time ago but better late than never. 😁
I have a video or two on customer hubs in my channel of that helps.
@@passiveincomewithkarenhello, can you make a video about how to use this web teachery to avoid resharing link
Must be blind. You mentioned you would put information about the 5 step file you send to customers having problems downloading. I do not find it. When I try go to the link that is shown in step 2. Get message that can not be accessed.
Thanks for letting me know. I was able to click on the link for step 2 but let's try it here - Can you click on this link - determined-to-love-mondays.aweb.page/p/dff0fa67-0abe-4450-8fe1-d7c2ee45155f
If not, here's a direct link to the course sales page - determinedtolovemondays.thrivecart.com/grow-your-e-shop-strategy-course/
Can I get some help please
Please clarify.
I do crochet items, crafts, wreaths, etc.
But what if the customer further shares the link with other people?
Unfortunately in the digital world, there is a risk of that. One way to make it more difficult is to host your links in a customer hub by using a course platform like Teachery. Then people have to sign into Teachery and you can be notified as to who has signed up and verify they are a paying customer. People could still download and share but honestly, while I’m sure it happens, I think it’s rare unless someone is going to try and steal and resell. Here’s the link to Teachery if you want to take a look - www.teachery.co/?a=bEeqbp2g.
I also did a video recently called, ‘Why I Love Teachery’ that might give you some ideas. 👍
@@passiveincomewithkaren thank you.. will check it out! :)
You spent 14 minutes and did not even get to the point. Dislike
Oh darn. I’ll have to take a look at that. Thanks for your feedback.
