Aurelius never disappoints! Always providing easy, step by step tutorials. He speaks slowly, clearly and is very detailed. Thank you for always delivering awesome content!
Wait, how did you know I was actually looking for an explanation related to selling digital products. Are you a mind reader 🤔 As usual, great job, keep going and keep the energy up. I am convinced that your channel is gonna be a success.
😁 not quite a mind reader but after having done quite a few videos now, I think I have a good idea of my audience's interests. Thank you for your optimism 👍
Yes, it is stated on Canva's website. It's best to create templates from scratch and with stock photos and elements you have the appropriate rights to.
In addition, you could also use pictures of your templates as links to the templates. It'd give a nice look. Thanks for the video Aurelius. Can't wait to try these out.
Thanks Tjin this is exactly what I have been looking for. Clearly explained and now I'm off to the races. You produce fantastic products and have a great channel.
Thank you Aurelius, Video’s like this are instrumental in the development of a new generation of artists and designers. We’ve only scratched the surface of what we are capable of with Graphic Design.
Sure thing! Most of my videos are related to digital products in some way or form. Periodically, I talk about self-growth which is something I know has helped me along the way and know by sharing what I learned may help others, too. Do take a look at my Digital Business playlist that I created that may be relevant to you: DIGITAL BUSINESS TUTORIALS: th-cam.com/play/PLcdZFGFQRxtHbp3Zd0dEc9hBP3_UgPTVq.html
Amazing video, great value as always. Very step by step, easy to follow and practical for anyone to get started quickly. Thanks for sharing your online expertise and wisdom. Season's Greetings and happy holidays!
Hi Aurelius, thank you for this great explanation. I have a question; how do you prevent access to Canva links by more than one person? For instance, you send pdf document with links to your client, what if he/she shares the pdf document with his/her friend? Will third parties be able to edit your templates?
But why you would want to prevent access? Everyone will have access and you will make money, they will be able to edit your templates as they buy it.. so you are safe, no one will download you design without purchasing
@@filipsevcik4902 Anyone who gets access to the PDF with the links will have access to the templates. There's no easy fix for this, you would have to have your own website so you can control access by user.
@@TekaLopez I understand now, I have thought before that only Canva paid users will have access to the templates but its everyone, thank you for the point!
Thank you for your helpful videos, Aurelius! I have a question about selling digital downloads on Etsy (such as the Canva templates you talk about in this video). I am planning to be traveling for a while (a few months). I have heard that Etsy has been known to shut down stores just for logging in to the account (or doing basic store functions) from locations other than the country you registered the store in. Could you shed some light on how to correctly sell on Etsy and still be able to travel? (You could think of it like being a digital nomad - never knowing where you'll be in a week, but still wanting the ability to sell on Etsy without getting shut down all of a sudden). Thanks very much!
Hi Adam. I don’t have too much experience with Etsy particularly but I have been through that scenario that you described but with different platforms/services. Travelled for 4 months and was logging into my online banking, PayPal, Google, etc. I would suggest contacting and giving your important services a heads up. Next, I would make sure to have 2-step verification using an authentication key such as a Yubi security key or even using your phone as it has NFC built into it. This works particularly well for Google related services. Only you with the key can access your accounts. I would check with Etsy’s security processes to see what you can do. Always best to contact them directly.
Thanks for all your informative videos. Once you design the Canva template, would you then recommend placing it in a Canva folder (first) - I’m big on organisation - for safe keeping? So that you don’t accidentally inadvertently amend it? Then you can basically set and forget? TIA Jane
That's a good idea! Yes, you certainly can do that, however, I believe with a Canva free account, you can only have two folders max while Canva Pro users can have unlimited folders.
What is the difference between just "share as a template" and publish your file, then share. Do I need to "publish" the file before sharing it? Do these steps any difference? If you could help me with this, that would be great.
Awesome video! Thank you for going into such great detail. I also wanted to ask, once the buyer has the template and edits the template on canva how many times can they reuse it and can they share the templates with other people or even resale the templates?
In the digital world it's rather difficult to protect but there are tools like Docsend.com which can restrict access to downloads. You can also track who has downloaded from a particular link.
Can you sell templates created from scratch but use Canva free elements like shapes: squares and lines etc? I thought commercial purposes were not allowed on the free licensing.
I found the video really helpful and also a valuable guide. For instance, I am selling templates using canva shareable link in pdf form but in the product photo I display it includes canva's free image and the font and all. Is it legal to do that?
I HAVE A QUESTION AND I DONT INTEND IT TO BE RUDE. WHY WOULD SOMEONE BUY A TEMPLATE AS OPPOSED TO GETTING CANVA ON THEIR OWN? THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE
I am trying to figure out if I can make a template that is only partly customizable. Only some of the elements can be changed. Does that make sense? I don't want them to recreate the whole thing, just the "name" or the "date" per se.
Thank you! Do you know if I have a Pro account and a user is using one of my templates, does anything change if I no longer have a Pro account? Does the user always get to keep that template, even if the template designer has switched to a free account since sharing? Hope that makes sense!
Great video. The problem for me is not idea or who to create, but that have no following. So wonder if its worth stat a template business if I have no blog, social media or anything.
Thank you so much, really helpful as always! Question: Do you think creating a short link at Pretty Link should be better or in this case, doesn't matter because we can have the links hidden in the buttons? Thank you!
Hi! Im having a problem selling my templates. My customers are seeing water marks on all of the premium features since their canva accounts are not premium accounts. How can i avoid this?
No, they do not need a pro account. They would use your template as they normally would with any other template. The only exception is if you will be using elements and/or stock photography on your designs. They will then need to pay for those individual elements/photos.
I'm really down at the moment trying the premium Canva design and I'm selling it on Adobe and the original designer is humiliated, because I upgraded the flower image with my background to be an invitation background, he just made me a thief and defamed my reputation as a thief by inviting lots of people to bully me . Is Canva's fault with its own design being sold on Adobe?
Hi Aurelius. If cancel my canva pro subscription what will happen with the canva template i created ? will it still be working for my customers who have bought it? and will i still be able to sell it? Thank you in advance.
The templates will always be accessible to you. However, you'll no longer be able to share as a template to others as it is only enabled if you have a Pro account.
Hello sir, What if we design our own random / custom template by canva to sell on other website , rather than switching on Canva pro version ? hows the idea ? would it work
Great tutorial, Aurelius Tjin, Thank you. Just a quick question, if I am planning to sell a pack of 50 of Instagram Post template, so it should be 50 links in that pdf print? or can I just copy the link to that folder? I created the template in a folder of 50 template. Is it possible?
@@Om-kl4it when u finish your first template, u can add a page after your just done template above. So after u do let’s say 10 templates in a files u look up on your top right bar and see the “SHARE” tool bar. Click to share and choose share a link to use as template -> enter and copy link. That link is the link u out on your pdf file when u send to your client to access your 10 templates.
Hi Aurelius, Can I legally sell the templates if I am using Free Elements (including Illustrations) and Free Stock Images/Photos in my template design? I see that many people on Etsy (who sell Canva Templates) say that photos shown in the template designs are only for promotional purposes and not included in the design. However, I would like to sell the designs with the photos and illustrations, if it is legal. Kindly suggest the correct route.

That's how you see someone who know what he is talking about

Once you sell a design do you need still need a Canva Pro account for a client to continually access, or does the client own once they download
That's a good question. Do you have the answer ?

Glad it was helpful!
There are tons of people doing that tho? Taking the templates and selling them? It looks like it, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info

Can you sell templates created from scratch but use Canva free elements like shapes: squares and lines etc? I thought commercial purposes were not allowed on the free licensing.
The way that i love your channel is you never say how much money you can earn on your thumbnail
Thanks for your honesty. Yeah, I’m not a big fan of making claims. It attracts the wrong crowd.
After a customer downloads the template, what if I cancelled my subscription with Canva? Would that break the link?
This is what I was wondering too
If it’s dowloaded then you cannot change your customer file, so no
@@omarcosve but new people wouldn't be able to use the link?
