a little about me:
I was a bartender for years and got laid of March 2020 due to the virus. I was struggling to pay my bills and decided to find other ways to make income while being in lockdown. I spent countless hours searching and finding what does and doesn't work. I now have multiple ecommerce stores while selling on various platforms. As a result of that I now have several streams of income that have made it possible for me to actually start living and no longer feel a financial burden. My channel was inspired by all of the help I received from other ecommerce entrepreneurs along my journey and hopefully my channel can help you do the same.

Hey, I was wondering when I was trying to put mine up and I think I was having problems with the size for my printable planner. And I saw you didn’t have to resize your’s or maybe you did and I wasn’t paying attention.
But if you didn’t, does it matter?
Hi! I want ask you about placeit mockup that you use... when we want save our mockup... it's have to pay first or just save for free?
@@rossyazlianaazira2976 That is what happened to me me too. I went to download it and it said I would have to pay first. Disappointed.
Canva told me that I half to start my Templates from Scratch. And You didn't Explain to me or how to insert my AI Artwork into the Mockup.
Great video! Something to keep in mind when pricing -- Charging $0.99 or an extremely low value in order to 'out-do' the competition sounds great, but Mak didn't discuss Etsy's fees associated with your sale. Say you sell it for $0.99, but Etsy takes $0.20 to list the item every time, plus about 7% for transactional, credit card, and other fees. You're left with about $0.72 profit. Then take off 30% for taxes which brings it down to about $0.50. Also subtract marketing fees you’ve spent to advertise. You’ll be left with pennies if not in the red after that. If that's good with you, keep rocking. Just don't forget to factor the platform fees in mind when pricing. Odds are, your competitors with the really low prices forgot about this as well.
thank u for this info!
Very helpful
It’s Literally Magic. Made My First Sale applying your Advice & Guidance. It’s A dream come true honestly. It definitely sparked my creative genius.
Hey how are your sales going now?

I have been traversing content like this for some time now, all across The UA-cams, and I wanted to take a moment to say that I appreciate how thorough you are just as much as I appreciate your lack of rhetoric. Many content creators dance around the actionable steps and key strokes, but you are quite literally demonstrating in real time, which many of us need at first. Well done. You have definitely made a new fan here.
YUP! We second this! What James Saenz said! #OnPoint

Hi friends!! For everyone asking about copyright, you can resell art on Canva that is created by you- meaning you can’t just take a template or a pre-made image and resell it as is. I talked more about this in my recent video on digital downloads!
I highly recommend that you check out the Canva copyright guidelines & do your proper research if you’re still unsure about it ! xoxo
Don’t forgot to use the link in description to start Canva Pro FREE
I have a question . Are you using tha paid version of placeit
@@relaxations8342 yes
So does that mean slightly editing it is ok?
Hi, I like yr style voice. Love you...
I don't mean copyright on Canva material, I know that as long as you change it, it's yours to resell. I mean the quotes from famous people, how do you know there is no intellectual property infringements?
Worth every watched second! Thank you for so graciously sharing with us! May continued success and blessings be yours! ♥️

This was one of the best tutorials I have ever seen overall, simple, on pointe and actually helpful
Thanks for the info, definitely going to try this!
Thank you for being so succinct and sharing this pertinent information. We truly appreciate it.

Been wanting to do this but wasn’t completely sure on how to, thank you!
Hey Mak!! I’m going through all your tutorials! They are amazing and very helpful. Thank you so much! ❤
You’re a gem. Wish you all the success. Thank you for the content
Thank you very much for this clear and straight to the point video!
This was very informative! Great job 💛
Thank you so much! I’m new to selling on Etsy and have been wondering how Etsy sellers create beautiful mock ups! Very helpful!
I love the way you say things with details!
Thanks lady. I enjoyed your video. I'm currently on my "digital entrepreneur" path and I'm creating an astrology channel on Etsy. Thanks for you guidance and wisdom!
Live this video!! Working on my digital prints since a month, takes time since i work full time! Hopefully I will make some sales when I launch my etsy shop!!
Wow, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
I'm a year late, but for some reason, this just popped up on my feed. It autoplayed while I was doing something else, and upon listening, I realized there was something I missed during the first viewing. So, I watched it again to be sure.
What was not mentioned was, if you use a template from any software, whether it's free or not, it's crucial to change at least 20% of it to avoid copyright infringement and theft. You can't simply use any template and upload it for sale without making modifications FIRST. You have to make it your own by changing it. The same rule applies to anything online. You might be able to get away with it temporarily, but eventually, you will be caught, as you should be for stealing. Some copyrights prevent any alterations whatsoever. Which means you need to change way more than only 20% of it.
I am so much glad to get you on my board. I think i have got something really special. Plz keep me in your team for proper guideline
So much useful information, this must be one of the best videos on etsy I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of them.
You've just gained a new follower. I can't tell you how helpful I found that tutorial. I am new to all of this and its all been a little overwhelming but something about how you described everything just clicked and you're very likeable as a person too. Thank you so much x
Love it frend Ilove you

I’ve been looking for this! Thank you so much!
I just watched this, and all I can say is great effort and love from you for us people out here trying hard to make money online. I am about to start and I hope I succeed like you.
how did go ???
This by FAR is the best explanation of how to upload onto Etsy. I want to start doing this immediately. I have ADHD and your video was slow and through. I am going to use your link.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. 🙏♥️Thank you! Thank you!
I also subscribed! 😊
Bless your heart to share this information with the world. I’ve seen a few online things but nothing felt the way this video made me feel, when I make money online I’ll comment again to thank you
This was seriously so helpful. Thank you so much! I will be coming back to this video time and time again, I'm sure of it!
Girl first off you look GREAT ! Also this video was so so helpful . Im just now starting my selling journey and this def make me more comfortable and confident
hey how is it going?
Thank you so much for all your tips and tricks with your “passive income” strategies! I’ve been wanting to create a few ways of passive income for myself and family and your advice is awesome! Thank youuuu!
May I ask which stocks are good? I've been looking at a few different ones but want others' opinions as well
Mak, thank you so much for this info! I feel so inspired and hopeful about this!!
I just uploaded my first printable mini workbook on Connecting to the Inner Child onto Etsy, thanks to your guidance 🙂
how is the journey going?
Great content Mak! Thanks for all you do. What if you have tons of your own photos? How would you use those to sell as digital downloads?
:) you can sell them as art prints! Just be sure to order a sample to check the quality !!
This was absolutely wonderful & I get it! Thank you!!
I saw a bunch of videos about digital selling and yours is the best one and I swear I’ve seen a lot. Thank you I subscribed just because of it. I hope you did something about canva with more details.
gotta say im really impressed at the simplicity of doing planners or digital art and selling on etsy. I never realised it could be so simple. Im based in the UK and you have defo inspired to dive deeper into this. Do you have a video on how you perform your research before creating and selling?
I'm in the UK too, have u had any luck selling these ?
Hi @@nickfba ive made my own daily planenr and put it on etsy but nothing yet. i think i need to do more in terms of associated words but also the mockup pics. My mockups arent great plus i dont want to be paying for placeit until i know its worth my while. how are you getting on with this?
@Naseem, how many dats have you been without a sale of your planner? How does the cost per day factor into the difference between no sales without good presentation and potential sales via using Placeter for better presentation? Gain or loss - risk or benefit.
@@GinaKayLandis its been a week or 2. but if im honest i need to improve on the mockups. i didnt use placeit as they are charging a monthly payment. I didnt see the point as im just starting out and i dont expect much to begin with. i need to do further research on tags and marketing so to speak. i only saw this video a few days before i tried it. I just forced myself to give it a go immediately as the etsy costs are literally pennies and i have a tendency to sit on things. Paralysis by over analysis. Plus once you start you cant stop. im already creating other products to put on etsy using canva.
Yes I have a video on sale samurai which is a tool I use for Etsy research and if you go a bit back on my channel I talk about trend spotting and show how I do that too!
Thank you for this super helpful video! I have two questions: 1) Can you sell the same digital download on Etsy and on your website? 2) Do you recommend opening different shops for different themes/interests? For example, one account for weightloss and another for productivity downloads?
And yes is strongly recommended to have niche but still you can connect these in one shop. For example you want to target it to woman above 80kg who wants to be bad bitch or dreaming about glow up. So productivity and weight loss is connected in this way☺️your niche could be the ideal customer and all products to serve one ideal customer.
@@radusa1989 Thank you for answering all of my questions!! Highly appreciate it!🥰
this was so helpful! and your skin looks flawless
great video. straight to the point! thank you!
Thank you for the content! As to your comment that “you literally paid nothing to create it” - you paid with the internet service, the computer it is made on, canva pro if used to create, and most importantly - your time which is the most valuable resource we have. These things needed to create digital products are not free.
You can access all of this at the library for free
Considering you are typing and watching this on a device that can do all of the things in this video it actually is free. Sure it took some of your time but some people make this stuff for fun or themselves already so it can be only the time to post your listing for lots of people.
@@leawnajewell canva pro is free when you use a library computer? 😁
@@northstar5919 no but regular canva is
@@leawnajewell Not always working, by the way. Your time is an investment, so it costs money.
Thanks for the tutorial just wondering if it is all good and legal to use the planner Canva provided if you change it around a little bit. Will you get copyrighted?
Thank you so much! Created a product but was stuck on what to do next. This is very helpful ❤
Thank you so much!! You just gave me a couple of new ideas of what digital downloads i could sell!! ❤❤❤
I got pretty excited about how easy this is after watching your video. I decided to make absolute sure that you can modify pre-made templates and sell them as your own, but unfortunately you are not allowed to. Canva says you need to make them from scratch. I'm not sure how they would "catch" anyone doing this, but unfortunately it's not allowed.
Are the customers able to adjust the size they print out of the digital art work? Or do we need to upload in several size options? And I'm just talking the digital art you did in this video, not the stretched canvas options from that printfy thing.
Thanks for the very detailed tutorial 🙏 More power! ❤🔥
Thank you This is just what I was looking for. God Bless you🙏🏽💕
please talk about the financial, not how much u make, but how you organize for taxes. how to even start, open an llc.
thanks!!!
Hey I loved your video! It was very helpful for me. I am coming across one issue though. I’m saving them as PDF standard but Etsy is not letting me upload it as that. Did you have that same error at first?
This happened to me too! Did you figure it out?
Adriana, I saw another UA-camr post about certain files not uploading. She mentioned it's bc of the file size...not sure if this is your issue. But her suggestion was to compress the file from your device and upload it as a zip. Hope that helps if u didn't already figure it out.
Definitely been looking into this and appreciate the video! I liked and subscribed🙂
Thank you so much! This is amazing, you really put me on. I’m gonna try it right now
Hey Mak! This is so great and helpful content. Thanks a lot for what you're doing. I have a question. When saving wall art, are you saving is as a PNG or PDF?
You can see on the video when she uploads the document it says PDF. Hope it helps (:
Am I the only one having issues uploading the pdf file on Place It? When I try to select the file from my device it's grayed out and unable to select.
@@elishai.1181 hi, I used the .png for place it- it's just for the mockups
am I the only one struggling to download anything for free from place it? please help. I can't find any free mockup site :
@@veronicavanleeuwen9342 thank you
I am definitely excited to give this a go.
It looks doable and you explained it so well x
hav you done it? If so, did u sell anything? xx
@@johannelinderud6141 I havent yet but I do plan on it x
Well, a Month passed, any update...?
Did you try it? how much money did you make??
@@Mysteryboy0007 seems like all of those who commented are either bots or just friends of the creator, or the creator itself, commenting through different accounts.
Great step-by-step tutorial! 👍🏻 Thank you!! 🙂
Been wanting a tutorial like this, thank you!!
Yay I’m so glad you liked it!
Such an informative video, thank you! My question is can you use ANY images to sell? I would think there would be a legal issue in some cases but I’m not sure? I have a teachers pay teachers account and you pretty much have to make the whole product yourself unless the images are copyright free/fair use. Do all images on CANVA just fit into that category? Just trying to figure it out before I start so I don’t potentially get myself in any issues later on. Thank you! ❤
Same question, can you use Canva pro graphics for printables?
@@petboulevard3046no.. it you are using canva pro when the client is downloading it they must have also canva pro otherwise they won t be able to use it
@@Jaianna you can use the free elements from Canva to create your own design to sell. You cant use them as standalone.
@hajraa5505 If you edit the design, can you use it?
@@jodinepereira3471 are you talking about pre-made templates? Yeah you need to change them to sell them
Hi! I want to start this today, but I live in Norway - so my question is, do I put down Norway and norwegian currency on both printful and Etsy, or do I put down USA and usd as currency to reach more potensial sellers? Thank you for your videos!
Norwegian. If you put usa you'll pay a conversion fee on top of other fees. Margins here are low since products are cheap so you want to keep that conversion fee money since you'll be paying like 50 cents to etsy in fees on every sale anyway. Why pay more? Also for usa you'd have to have american currency account to deposit money. I'm in Canada and were quasi-american so we can get American accounts no problem, but I still prefer to keep my currency in Canadian. Makes doing income tax easier too (yes, you have to pay income tax... so after fees, taxes exchange rates.... what you make is tiny).
So in summary, your own currency is ideal.
Hope this helps.
What makes you think you would get more potential sales by using USA? Just curious.
tahmasalimalik.blogspot.com/2022/10/panasonic-lumix-g100-4k-mirrorless.html
@@diversediscoveries3107 obviously etsy is more popular in the us literally 62% of sellers are american
@@lovelyrfc it was not obvious for me. That’s why I asked. Be blessed and spread love.
This video is GOLD!!! Thank you so much for this!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing the idea! You're so kind
Hi mak, love the video very interesting, plus great ideas! I have one question, for Canva and Placeit, there are monthly fees to these sites right, so basically it's not completely free to make these digital art prints for sale, we still need to spend money to use these sites, or is there a way to avoid paying for them that I'm not aware of???
there's a free version of Canva that has less options and images in it. could start there.
I am trying this for the first time and actually searched "mockup" in the Canva search and found an option that would be free. Obvs. I'll have to find more so that not every listing will have the same mockup photo, but still interesting.
Great vid Mak! You've inspired me to take Etsy serious and actually try this. 💯💯💯
Hi Mak. How did you get reviews for your products immediately after posting them?
Thank you so much for this very detailed and to the point video!
Great video! Just what I needed, thanks 😊
Hey, I really love your videos. Could you please post a tutorial on how to get into affiliate marketing? Thank you!
Yes! Working on it :) it will be up in the next few weeks
Hi! I love the video! This def sounds like a great way to make extra money however, can you go more into the financial side of how much you can make in a specific time frame? I would love to have an idea!
Thank you for the idea!
@@moneywithmak ur welcome! i actually just started my own digital download shop, so wish me luck! ❤️
@@Britgonzalezz so howz its going r u earning well
This video was so so helpful, thank you!
I can't wait for your etsy progress! AMAZING!! 100k around the corner.
I have a question. When you choose Framed Wall Art to create your piece does it only print that size when they buy and download to print? Or do they get to customize the size they frame when they go to the store? May seem like a dumb question, but I want to make sure to get it right. I ask because I did a custom size piece wall art in 8x10 but then I watched your video and you clicked framed art and it is only one size available, so I didn't want the quality to be less by not choosing the framed art. Thank you. :)
I am wondering the same thing. Did you ever get an answer to this?
Dear Mak
Thank you very very much for your valuable informations in your videos.
Thank you so much for these tips! Will give them a try on my shop.
What a great video!
Question about the art pieces-Did you draw that heart yourself? How do you find images that aren’t copyrighted?
😂 I would also like to know, if people are just uploading and making money off of other peoples artwork in a different format. They could get sued 😅
Hi Mak, I have not seen any videos that talk about how customers can access links and edit a template document. For instance, if I send a pdf file, don't they have to have an Adobe Acrobat subscription to edit it? If I send the Google doc link, it sends them to the main page for google docs but not just to the document I'm selling. If I send a canva template, it says they have to request access from me to be able to be an editor. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you so much for sharing. Love your positive attitude
That was very informative Makk.
🌸🌸🌸
Curious? Taking templates and art from Canva and then recreating your own version using their work, is there no risk for copyright?
thanks for your time sharing this info sis! I believe everyone needs to find what gives true financial freedom and happiness. Making passive money is really cool I will try this in addition to my investment income
So true everyone loves making extra money because Having a 9_5 is not a dream any longer
Yes I'm glad to be able to earn an extra income by investing, I earn about 5k and more in a month or 3 weeks
@@svetlanalena3208 congratulations ma'am, you're making quite a fortune how did you do that I would like to learn
@@eiraantoinette6793 I started during the COVID pandemic and I put some money from my salary to invest. I have a professional who guides me in building a good investment portfolio
fantastic idea. i need a reliable professional I would love to get this started soon
Thank you sm!! Love the intro 💜
Thank you so much. Your video was very informative. I am literally going to start a digital download Etsy store this weekend. 🤩
How did it go?
You can't just sell the art on canva you have to change the design to make it different/ make it your own, add text and other elements per copyright agreement for commercial use.
I love your videos they are inspiring and helpful 💕
So as I am going through the steps from your video and it is asking for shipping. How can I get rid of that? Or what do I need to do?
You need to select that it’s a digital product - this is at the the top of the listing on Etsy
tahmasalimalik.blogspot.com/2022/10/panasonic-lumix-g100-4k-mirrorless.html
I've just found your channel an it rocks!
Thanks for a detailed and helpful video on this! I will try it and hope I can make a sale and made it a passive income. 😊
I love your videos, you’ve motivated me so much and can’t wait to start but the legal part of all this, it’s what scares me. Do I need a permit for every store that I open? Resellers permit or LLC? All that confuses me 😣 could you do a video on this?
yesss second that!!
I don't think you need an established company to get started but am unsure because I don't have an Etsy store. If it's anything like eBay, you can be selling as an individual. However, being that Etsy is more for Business to consumer transactions, I'd imagine that they may require a company during account formation mainly due to taxation.
If you sell over a certain amount (I recall it being over $10,000USD???), Etsy may file/alert the US government and come tax time, you will have to file taxes.
What type of company depends on your type of business, the risks associated in your product, and location. I'm no accountant but I believe an LLC would suffice for most sellers. Good luck
Depend on your country in my country you need your freelancer or societey number unless you want to be in trouble
Are you able to use any fonts or do you have to purchase those?
Etsy is pretty incredible. I always thought it was just for clothes and knick-knacks, but it's so much more!
Amazing! Thank you very much for sharing such a valuable knowledge and a source of passive income. May God bless you and the best of luck to all your future endeavours!
Do you know how to do a watermark ? Just wondering how some ppl do that because I go to etsy for certain papers and to be honest the ones that don't have watermarks I just screenshot it then print it out so I don't have to pay anything for it. But the ones that have watermarks over them I don't because of course I don't want something with watermarks all over the page.
I hope you understand what I'm asking about LoL
Hey! Thank you so much for this. I made my Etsy shop then it got deactivated. I followed everything you did on canva. I tried to make it my own, but I guess they thought I was copying someone else’s work. Do you know what I can do to not let that happen again?
I had the same exact problem! I'm currently figuring out how to fix it.
This is very helpful and informative. Thank you so much.
finally, i have found a passive income method that I actually really like and is doable! thank you. I will come back to this video and update you guys on my progress.
