How to Make Money by Selling Canva Templates

I see so many people wanting to make just a few hundred bucks more every month, for rent, for student loan payments, or for a new car… But they just can’t figure out a way to do it!

If you already know how to use Canva, then here's your opportunity to make an extra $1,000+ every month!

Live paycheck-to-paycheck… NO MORE!

It’s a pretty cool side hustle gig, and it is so much FUN!

Imagine what you could do with an extra grand or two… I bought a Land Rover in April, and my payments and insurance are completely covered with side hustle money, almost $2000 per month!

What would you do with the extra cash flow? 

If you love Canva or have a creative streak, then I have an idea… you can create and sell Canva designs as templates!

What does a Canva template business look like?

MAKE OVER $1,000 PER MONTH

Secondary income can help you save for a car or a house, pay off loans, start an emergency fund, or just treat yourself without having to worry about paying your rent or bills.

 

WORK ONLY A FEW HOURS PER WEEK

Have a full time job? Got a family to take care of? Or maybe both? No worries! I built my Canva template business on the side, working no more than a few hours every week. If I can do it, so can you!  You will need to find a way to promote your templates and resources, but I just use blogging and social media to get these out to the world and attract attention. 

 

BEGINNER DESIGNERS A-OK

All you need is a willingness to learn and refine your design skills, a creative streak, and the dedication of some time. With that, you can create a side-income stream selling Canva templates.

I will show you how to sell your Canva designs as templates! But why me, you ask?

Well, let me share a little bit about who I am and what makes me the perfect person to teach you this Canva template side-business.

I have been a corporate executive for the last 10 years, and I have run multi million dollar companies.  I have been responsible for networking, marketing, and client relationships for years.  In building this experience, I decided that I cannot just work for another company forever.  I wanted to start my own venture, one that did not involve employees or inventory, which can often be the hardest thing to manage within the other companies that I’ve run. 

I started my digital marketing and sales journey in November of 2023, and I used Canva to create print on demand products, e books, social media posts, and more! After learning to make money using digital and affiliate marketing, our business started earning an average of $100k per month within 120 days! 

Now, we do not only sell Canva templates.  We also created a course that teaches how to make money using digital and affiliate marketing.  We create multiple income streams, but one of those is selling mini e book templates online, and it is a great way to get started!

I LOVE Canva!

I literally cannot stop myself from creating new products and templates, sometimes just to relieve stress and avoid feeling bored when my family goes to bed at night.

As easy as Canva is to use and create with, not many people have the time or the design skills to create beautiful graphics and other digital products… so, they are IN DEMAND!

With Canva Pro, you can use so many stock photos to build your templates, or you can check out some of the ones that I offer and use them as a guide to get your templates started and developed in alignment with your brand.
