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 👍
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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
So even after creating a template from scrap you can only sell to canva users only? And you can't sell to others outside the canva community of users? Then what good is it for. If you wanna sell to outsiders random people.

Hello all..just want to ask...can I sell canva using educational account...? Its not full pro account, but still could use most of the feature... So could I sell template using the account? Thank you 😊
I appreciate all the value you share! So to clarify, I cannot sell my photo quotes or templates I've made on Canva, unless I upgrade to Pro? What if it's my own photo and my own personal quote but I added the typography using Canva fonts?
Thanks Lisa. In general, you can sell your designs, but if you are wanting to sell your designs to your customers with the ability to edit them, then you will need a Canva Pro account, otherwise the "Share a link to use as template" feature is disabled. Hope that clarifies.
@@AureliusTjin I watch a channel called “wholesale Ted”. Sarah, on that channel, uses canva to create her designs, but she mentioned that the graphics and phonts that are available on the free account are the only ones licensed to be resold. On the pro account she said they are not. Are you familiar with this? I’m now confused lol
@@lesliebean4594 Yes, that makes sense what she's talking about. This is because of license restrictions and copyright. I cannot give advice but can point you to some info. Read through about.canva.com/license-agreements/onedesign/ under "3. Permitted Uses". I would also be wary of using free stock images as you do not know the exact source of the photos.
