Do you want to make money selling Etsy printables, but aren’t sure how to come up with printable ideas or if this is the right online business for you? Keep reading; We’ve got everything you need to know about selling printables on Etsy!
Today we’re chatting with Cody Berman, its co-founder Gold City Ventures; A company focused on helping others create and sell digital products. She started an Etsy shop in 2018 and was hooked after making $700+ in one week. He also hosts Financial Freedom Show. In his spare time, you can find him traveling, working or building another business.
Tell us how you got involved in selling printables on Etsy’s marketplace?
I’ve always been one. I’ve tried freelance writing, podcast editing, UberEats delivery, email marketing… you name it. The only problem with these side hustles is that if I don’t work on them, I don’t get paid. I call them “active income hustles”.
That’s when my friend Julie introduced me to selling printables on Etsy. He told me that he made over $6,000 after working about 50 hours in his shop and that the designs were still making money even though he hadn’t worked on them.
That’s because on Etsy, once you’ve created your listing and uploaded your digital file, no additional work is required on your part. When someone purchases your printable from your Etsy store, it’s automatically delivered to them.
Needless to say, I was sold! I launched my own Etsy business soon after, and the rest is history.
How do you create digital printables to sell on Etsy? Do you need a graphic design background?
I’m the kind of person you don’t want on your team at Pictionary. I have no background in graphic design, and to be honest, my first few printables were terrible. But after enough practice and learning the dos and don’ts of product design, my products actually started looking pretty good.
For design software, I started using the free version of Canva since I didn’t have extra money, and now I use the paid version, Canva Pro.
How Much Money Can You Make Selling Printables on Etsy?
With over 100M buyers on the platform, there is a lot of money to be made on Etsy. Some students in our community are making $10,000+ per month, while others may be making a few hundred. It’s all about what you make of it.
Most people aren’t going to replace their day job with their Etsy shop, but there are many in our community who are covering grocery bills, paying for vacations, or even covering the mortgage with their Etsy side hustle income.
What type of personality does best with a digital download business?
We find that self-starters do really well with this side hustle. Since you don’t have a “boss” as a printable vendor, you have to hold yourself accountable and work week after week. The nice thing about this side hustle is that you don’t have to have a large social media following or amazing marketing skills. If you can learn keyword research and Etsy SEO, customers will find your shop.
How long does it take to get an Etsy printable business up and running?
We have some students who sell out within 24 hours of opening their shop. For others, it may take several weeks. It all depends on how much time you are putting into it and the products you are making.
Generally speaking, the more products you have in your store, the more money you make. So the more products you create, the more likely your monthly passive income will increase.
