How to Make Money with Your Own Printable Shop

Do you have a graphic design background and looking to make some extra money. You should consider selling printables   on Etsy as well as on your own website.  

Printables are digital products that customers can download and print at home. Examples include grocery shopping checklists, gift tags, candy bar wrappers, printable quotes for wall art, and patterns.

There are many different ways to create printables, but I find the easiest way is by using software like Canva or PicMonkey. Another popular way is via Microsoft Word if you are good with graphics. 

We believe they are a great side hustle for busy people because you create them once and an unlimited number of customers can download. You don't have to worry about shipping them!


How much should I sell printables on Etsy for?
Pricing is really dependent on each seller. There is no right or wrong answer. Find a price that you’re comfortable with that you think is fair for both you the seller, and your future customers! Pricing low might guarantee more sales, but pricing higher isn’t bad either – if it took a lot of work and is unique, don’t undervalue yourself!

3 Important Steps To Sell Printables On Etsy

1. Upload to your shop.
Once you’ve set up your Etsy shop, upload your printable to a listing for the price you’ve chosen. Be sure to use nice, well-lit images and for printables, you may want to look into framing them to make them stand out or have a nice background to make your picture stand out from the rest.


2. Make sure to give accurate, detailed descriptions of your product.
This helps you rank high in searches and generate some sales. Include things like color, size, purpose (is it a planner, invitation, etc.?) so that people can find your product easier.

3. Market, market, market.
Pinterest is a great way to market your products, especially on Etsy. Pinterest is a very visual platform and having beautiful pictures of your product in pins is a great way to get some clicks to your shop and products that will hopefully convert into sales! Word of mouth is great too! Tell friends, family, and it’s a good idea to whip up some business cards for your Etsy shop that you can hand out to people you meet if it comes up in conversation. Your local facebook groups can be a good market as well.

I dive deeper into learning the different features in Notion by watching tons of free videos on YouTube.

I created a Notion page to keep track of my personal finances as my first project.

After, I took to Notion communities on Facebook, Reddit and Discord to share a screenshot of my setup.

It felt great to share my setup with the community, and I learn a lot more about Notion building the pages from scratch.

If you want to learn a new skill, start building projects.
