WHAT IF YOU COULD...

create & scale a passive product business, in a simpler way....

uh, yes please

any of this resonate with you?

you don't want the busy grind that people tell you is required to make a real profit

you need help getting your products seen in a crowded marketplace

you want to create a passive income to give you more time & financial freedom, not add more to your to-do list

you're unclear on which tasks matter when creating or scaling your Print-on-Demand or Digital Product business

you don't want social media as the main driver of your sales

you're tired of going from free advice to paid course looking for strategies, only to find lackluster results

you're not sure how to define your niche 

you're not sure which products you should focus on

why a passive product business?

Creating a business with only passive products is a wonderful business model. Print-on-Demand & Digital Products can be created once and sold endlessly without you ever having to package & ship anything. But even if you offer in-person services, handmade products, or sell wholesale, adding passive products to your business frees up your time & resources with products that scale effortlessly.

Print-on-Demand

Print-on-Demand is one of the fastest growing product arenas and for good reason. You simply design your product & list it for sale...the Print-on-Demand company integrates with your website or marketplace site and ships the item directly to the customer saving you time & effort.

Digital Products

Digital Products are a fantastic tool to grow your business with ease. They have larger profit margins than Print-on-Demand and they're delivered to the customer instantly, making the whole transaction process run smoothly. You can sell them on your website or on a marketplace making them so versatile. 

A FEW THOUGHTS:

BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU, I KNOW HOW HARD IT CAN BE.

“Just focus on the possibilities. The limitations will take care of itself.” -Anthon St. Maarten

NO VISION & PLAN

Some people aren't sure where they're headed. They know they want to make income from their art or create a side hustle that helps pay the bills. But they take ideas from what is working well for other people instead of charting their own course and making specific progress on their journey. You need to know the direction you're headed before you start taking steps.

UNDEFINED BRAND VOICE & VISUALS

Your branding is more than just colors, fonts, & logos. You need to establish your brand voice that includes your messaging, images, tone, & style. This is such an undervalued aspect of growing your business, that I've watched make a huge difference for people. Customers want to purchase from trusted sources, so setting cohesive brand voice & visuals is an important part of the process. 

MULTI-PASSIONATE CREATIVES ARE NOT SURE HOW TO FIND A NICHE

A lot of advice out there says to simply "develop your signature style," "niche down," or "speak to one ideal customer," but most of the people I talk to are multi-passionate. They love and are good at a variety of things. I go against the grain a bit on this. Instead of working to develop a single style that sticks with you for all time, I help you find one that feels on brand for you. Your artistic style will evolve & grow as you do....but knowing your brand voice first can help you find the thread that's woven from your branding, to your colors, and into your designs. People will still be able to recognize your work and yet it gives you space to develop your skills and edit your design style over time so you aren't stuck with a single style that you outgrow. 

areas you might get stuck...

Service Name

You can even request lessons on anything you want to see inside the lesson library.

RESOURCE LIBRARY

To help you simplify your process, I include ready to use tools, templates, mockups, social media content, and more- where you can just plug your designs in & list.

Each month, you'll get pre-recorded sessions of either:

(1) Deep Dive on a Product OR (1) Product / Shop Critiques 

1

Service Name

DEEP DIVE ON

PRODUCT OR TOPIC

I knew that the main Lesson Library would cover topics on creating Print-on-Demand or Digital products, but you also could use detailed information on an individual product type. How will you know the best print-on-demand company to use for mugs, shirts, or wall prints? Which printing method is best for which type of products? I test them out & give you the important information- including market research, keywords, pricing strategies, & more.

. . . . . . .

2

Service Name

SHOP OR PRODUCT CRITIQUE SESSION

Sometimes it's hard to picture how to apply advice to your situation. Seeing a product or shop review, even on someone else's items, where I explain potential edits & how they could impact sales can be so helpful. I choose an aspect to review & pre-record so you can watch whenever is convenient for you. You can also submit your website, branding, or products to be reviewed at any time.

I'M ANDREA,

I've been exactly where you are right now.

Starting my business has been both a fulfilling & frustrating journey. I've been overwhelmed by too many creative ideas (and not knowing how to reign them all in,) research in more areas than I can count, and the very steep learning curve with SEO, algorithms, & marketing in crowded marketplaces. I've made lots of mistakes along the way, that wasted a lot of time and money, yet also taught me valuable lessons. 

​

I created this membership to help you avoid the same fate. I developed systems that help define your niche, identify your target audience, complete valuable market research, and create workflows to simplify your tasks. I promise, you can do this!

FAQ

DETAILS MATTER. HERE'S A FEW MORE THINGS:

01

What is your Cancellation Policy: 

We care first and foremost about people. You can cancel at anytime, no questions asked. Be sure to cancel at least 3 days prior to the next renewal date so that you won't be charged the following month. 

02

What is your Refund Policy:

Due to the digital nature of the membership and the amount of content being provided, we offer refunds during the first 30 days only. If you purchase an annual subscription, we will however prorate a refund for you for any unused months (end of current month to end of subscription period.)  

03

What kind of templates are included:

We have planning templates like weekly planners, meal planners, calendars (will add new ones each year), habit trackers, social media planners, and more. We have cards, tags, homeschool documents, portfolio templates, ebook templates & storybook planning sheets, slide decks, wedding, and airbnb products. I'm certain there are more- but as I'm sure you know, the list is exhaustingly long. If there's something you're looking for, just ask. Even if I don't have it, I can usually create something pretty quickly. All templates come with a link to edit in Canva. 

04

Do I need Canva Pro:

No, you can use the free Canva plan. However, some of our fonts/graphics are specific to Canva Pro. You can simply edit your template to the free version or buy the individual feature you want to keep. If there is a specific template that has Pro features you really like, you can always reach out to us for help in finding a suitable alternative. 

05

Do I need to be an artist:

No, you can check out my Etsy shop and see that I started with funny sayings. You don't even need a fully formed idea- we go over that in the first module. If you're an artist though, we will help you find ways to leverage your art with passive products, so that you can spend more time creating the art that you love.

06

How much will my other business costs be:

This is dependent on the business owner. I try to find free options for as many things as I can. But with any business, there are startup costs. A few you should be aware of: business license (~$15-400), if using Etsy- Etsy setup fee ($15), plus $0.20 for each listing, Email Marketing (~$17-45/mo), Canva free or Pro ($10/mo if paid annually or $15/monthly)

07

How can I get help if needed:

I set up question sections in each module and you can post a question in any of the community spaces. I am active in the community & you can start a chat to direct message me inside the membership anytime. One of my community goals is that no question goes unanswered. I've been in communities where you post a question and never get a reply. That doesn't feel like support to me, so I will be active in the community. If you have a question about the membership before joining, message me at support@rusticsimpledesign.com.

If you have questions that I haven't answered here, please reach out to us at support@rusticsimpledesign.com

​

We know this sounds different than what's out there. That's the whole point. If we have a system, a template, a technique that can help you, we will share it. It may take a little time to get everything loaded into the membership...

But good things take time.
