I'm truely considering making a switch between focusing on local business advertising to creating Moch ups of my own.You're the first person I told about it since I considered it.
I only have a few downloadable pieces. Should I try and get a larger number of items before opening a shop/store or is it OK to open the store and just add items as I go? What is a good number of items to start with? Thank you for the great video!
Hi lovely. It's entirely up to you how you decide to start, but personally I would recommend getting your shop or website set up and deciding what you want to sell and what target audience you want to target before you start mass creating your products? Once you feel confident with your niche and what products you want to sell, then focus on creating amazing high quality digital downloads that your target audience will love. You will often find that as you start growing and selling your inventory, you'll be able to use your shop or website data and marketing data to start to see what digital products your audience want you to create and what special niches or trends your missing out on. So please don't worry about having all of your digital products created BEFORE you even start. It's so important to put a few of your pieces out there and start to get feedback as you go along to help you create more and more tailored products for your audience. I always recommend that when it comes to art printables (which is what I personally sell) that you should focus on creating around 40-50 art prints to really help you fill up your shop and to start building your Etsy traffic... However this completely depends on what type of digital product you're selling as it will be entirely different for e.g... Ecourses - As you can start by selling with just 1 or 2 on your own website, blog or ecourse platform. So it truly does depend on what digital products you want to create and what audience you're creating them for but if you let me know what you're thinking about specifically selling I might be able to help you a little further lovely 😀💕
I sell my digital products on Etsy and on Digitanza. What I like about Digitanza is that they provide the support to the customers, so that I don't need to communicate with everyone and spend time for this. Also there are less competition and it's easier to get noticed by the customers
HePaidIt - hi there! I’m such a perfectionist, I decided I wouldn’t launch my own blog unless (until) I had 100 articles completed. Then I worried about being dead right out the gate (who is going to subscribe to a blog w 100 posts and zero comments/activity, etc....) Perhaps it is different for everyone - I am a perpetual planner who never got beyond the “research” stage so in my own “failure to launch” I can tell you I have seen bloggers starting off as beginners with few printables and watched them grow in popularity above and beyond popular bloggers who’ve been around for years.... Although the niche are not all the same, each blog involved “printables”..... One thing people LOVE is “Freebies”..... (Having made lots of money selling jewelry online in previous years - I know how well freebies work!) Freebies of any kind are the most profitable form of advertising known to man! People flock to freebies & they LOVE to share those links with their friends too! I highly recommend you consider building your site and (as you grow your following) offer those few items for free (if your eproducts are too valuable to give away for the next few months, maybe create a handful of smaller freebies - or just give away a portion of your printables - like the calendar instead of the whole planner, etc.... This will motivate and inspire you as you go. Your first subscribers will feel special since they’re scoring freebies only available to your earliest subscribers.... If you are familiar with digital badge/reward systems (you can add them on & use/design them entirely free via many open source platforms) to [SECURE] that following by allowing the first 1000 registered subscribers a special Digital Badge that identifies them as a special “VIP” member that guarantees a special discount code just for them (and maybe offer them an extra promotional discount compared to your other members, etc... Even if it is small (15% forever discount) It is a popular Persuasive Technique used in Sales & Marketing. Customers LIKE to feel special and lil things like digi badges are free for you but can make a huge difference while growing your following... Whatever you decide, make sure you grow your following from the site you plan to monetize. i.e. Some people think its easier to just create a quick weebly blog to start off with and they figure they’ll just move it all over to their official wordpress site once they are ready to open up shop - but the terms of the fine print when you register subscribers only allows you to have & use that mailing list for the specific website you signed up with... This means you could not email those same people from a different domain (even if its the same content & products...) You wouldn’t want to start all over so I just want to let you know it is important you grow your following from the site/domain/blog you ultimately intend on using either way... I hope this helps... Warm Regards... I’m happy to share what I have learned... At this point I have learned so much I half wonder if my own niche should be sharing all the notes/books/blog info (everything I’ve learned over the last 3 years of “sitting on my hands....” ) I always thought it was information I had to find and skills I had to master - but as it turns out I have PLENTY of those. I just need to ditch my fears and find the courage to “take action”.... Congrats to you for taking that step! I’ll be your first subscriber when you’re ready! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 🤗🤗🤗😉☺️🌺
Hi!!!! I love your channel and you so pretty! I live in UK too and people here they are not still on the passive income mentality or being financially free. I am in the process of designing for my new etsy shop I want to sell printables. I am curious to see a video of you working from home routine like a day in the life video just how you manage your time. I feel like I haven't found my balance yet with managing my time and working from home. I try my best to set specific time slots aside just for work but I fail miserably, plus I have a toddler so I get distracted a lot by him too. I imagine you must have a solid routine. Please keep the videos coming :)
Noora's Secret Garden Thankyou so much Noora for your lovely comment😍💕. I definately would like to incorporate some more vlog style videos in the future so thankyou for the suggestion about the work routine it's now on my list 😀💕 Yes it's super difficult to create and maintain a routine around building your passive income and it's something I'm always working on improving. I've finally started to grasp a good routine for me over the last 5 months or so but it's always a work in progress😀. The fact that you have so much going on in your life but you're still working towards your financial goals is absolutely amazing and you should be so proud of yourself that you're being proactive and trying to find the right daily routine to make it work for you. Good luck with your Etsy shop lovely and definately let me know how you get on😀 and thankyou so much again for your lovely message Noora 😀💕
hi i love watching your videos and learning from them :) im inspired to open my shop i wanted to know what's the best way to save and sale my printables to my customers what format should i use? PDF or JPG im so confused please help
Hi lovely. You can purchase really beautiful and cool social media digital kits and packs that help with social media marketing in places like Creative Market. Which is my personal favorite but you can also purchase them from Etsy as well 😀💕
Nice video, thanks! It would be just nice to see some examples (e.g. while you are talking about something to show some examples for those who doesn't know it - for example how does a "social media template pack" look like, what is ist - just show some examples...)
Hi lovely. Yes, you can definitely create digital products as long as you have the drive and focus to practise and learn how to create and sell them 😀💕
As this video is from 2018 wondering how sales on Etsy has been in 2020 with covid around. I could only imagine a lot more designers going online. Is the platform still very profitable for you in 2020 and now 2021. I do digital art and just subscribed to your channel today. I also have a class on Zazzle platform so not sure where the best return would be. Zazzle is only Print on Demand, while Etsy you can create your own art (digital product or real art prints and ship prints, with possible higher margins perhaps). Thanks for any feedback!
Hi lovely. I personally definitely still think Etsy is a great platform to use for your business in 2021. I still use and run my shop and I have plans to really push and focus even more on it in 2021 😀💕 I run multiple online businesses so I have to juggle a wide number of platforms at once and prioritize my time between each business as best I can lol. Just like any online platform, you do need to take the time to learn how to get the most out of it and it does take work to grow but if it's a platform you want to use and you want to be able to sell digital products alongside your physical ones then Etsy is still a good platform for that 😀💕
Hello I am interested in creating planners and also invitations. Is it okay to use Canva for a professional look or do I need to sign up with Adobe indesign? Also how much do people typically make on etsy?
Thankyou so much Summer and definitely let me know how you get on when you start your Etsy shop. I adore stationary and i'm super excited to see your Etsy journey :)
am i allowed to create a design in Canva and resell?? Would i have to basically start with a blank page for lets say a planner... and add my design? I see that they have premade templates..
Great great information. I'm into photography but would like to know how can I protect my images on Etsy from shoppers doing a screen shot of my pics, rather than downloading them? Thanks
Omg ty!! So many great ideas! I needed this to get me on the right track for selling my photography (abstract and vintage) so I appreciate your advice.
I want to sell printable relevant to my busy party decor business as a second revenue stream - do you think I could do a few of these ideas in the one shop? For example, baby shower invitations, games and planners?? Then the same for weddings, hen parties etc? Or do you need to specialise in one thing xx
Hi lovely. I actually have a video that talks about when I personally think it could help to have a second shop or if it would work to stick with one shop but sell variations of products here... When should you open another Etsy shop? - th-cam.com/video/D4zBc2MVdJA/w-d-xo.html I hope it helps lovely 😀💕
Hi ! I was hoping to find out how to actually get the pdf files from your computer and actually selling them ? Does that make sense ? Do I just upload them onto the site I’m selling ? How does the customer then download them ? X
I want to download some digitals from Etsy but I wish I could confirm if I can modify them with Canva. Do most sellers make them for canvas since the whole point of buying these is to skip photoshop and other more advanced softwares?
Good content and ideas, but I don’t see a link to your Etsy site that you mentioned in your video. I wanted to see how you applied your own concepts, see what worked for you and what you are selling. I don’t see an Etsy site link on your blog either. Do you have an Etsy site?
Hey lovely. I don't tend to add a link to my shop on my TH-cam channel simply because it messes up my Etsy analytics when I get traffic from my TH-cam channel with people just coming to have a look lol. My shops name is www.iknowimperfect.com,😀💕you're welcome to check it out.
Hi JK. Thankyou so much for the kind message. I don't sell on Creative Market anymore as I decided to focus on my Etsy and Amazon shops this year. I personally prefer to sell my art prints on Etsy and Amazon and i'm focusing on creating my own ecommerce website to also create a fun place for my customers to purchase aswell. I hope that helps lovely 😀💕 Evaknows xoxo
Hi lovely. I personally use both platforms but I have to admit I find Squarespace a little easier and more strategic to use. I wish you so much luck on whatever platform you choose though and I think they both have awesome pro's to them and are quite easy to get the hang of 😀💕
Hii eva i am from indonesia and i want open store etsy as digital download, but i confused about it. Some people make with canva and they are use stock design from canva and adobe illustrator My question can i make wedding invitation with stock design from like freepik but i will add link at readme file or i will design from public domain like pixabay it's common cc 0 without add link
Love and appreciate your videos! One question.... if my digital art prints use a font that most people are not likely to have, do I have to embed that font in the file in some way?? OR will they buyer get the print exactly as it appears? Thanks!!!
Hi Cheryl. No your customer should get your print exactly as you download it and upload it to Etsy lovely. I personally like to download my art printables as PDFs on Canva and i've used many different fonts but it's not a problem as long as it downloads correctly when you download a copy from Canva 😀💕
Hi lovely. You can use Canva as a graphic design platform as long as you are creating your own custom ORIGINAL design (not using their graphics) and you do not simply take one of their templates and resell it. You need to create your own UNIQUE art work using graphic elements that you have purchased the commercial license to use... As I explain in a number of my other videos about finding graphics. You can simply use Canva as the design tool to create your unique piece of art using commercial use graphics which is how I like to do it.
Hi Laura! Thank you for sharing these ideas! I sold digital graphics in the past, on fiverr and upwork, but I realised it takes me too much time to make custom graphics for each customer. And I also have a day job... I always wanted to start making something stock and sell it online, creating a passive income stream and so on... I don't know why I didn't do it until now. What do you recommend to try for art printables? Should I sell them on creativemarket / etsy or should I go with a shopify ecommerce solution? Thank you for yout time!
Hi Cristi. So sorry it's taken me a few days to get back to you it's been so hectic atm that I haven't had a minute to check my TH-cam. But thankyou so much for your comment and it's so exciting that you're thinking about creating your own art printable business. I adore mine and i've learned so much about selling online and creating online income from it :) I personally love to use Etsy to sell my digital downloads. So much so that I also created a course around it because it's taught me so much about making sales and it's one of my favorite online passive income streams. Do keep me up to date with your business adventure and let me know what selling platform you decide to use to pursue your art printable goals lovely :)
Great information. I’m trying to get clarification on the use of clip art or images from places like creative market or unsplash. I have heard people say that the standard license does not mean you can use it for digital artwork resale. Is that info correct? Do you purchase the extended license?
Hi lovely. I'm not sure on unsplash as I don't use that website for any graphics or imagery that I want to add to my products. However with Creative Market you can see what you can and can't do under their licensing agreements. Here's a link for you to check them out if you need a little more guidance about what each license involves lovely 😀💕 creativemarket.com/licenses Also I always suggest that if you're ever in doubt about whether you can use a product on Creative Market for the reason you want... Then quickly message the seller just to double check so you know exactly what you can and can't do with their products.
Hi lovely. I like to create and download my art printables using a program called Canva as PDF files that are ready for print. It's super straight forward to do using Canva and I love the way my art printables look and how high quality they are using this format. I do know that some people prefer to download their art printables in jpg format at 300dpi resolution in some shops so the choice is personally up to you. I just find that creating my art printables in PDF format is easier for me but retains a super high quality printable that's perfect for printing. I hope that helps some lovely. Evaknows xoxo
A lot of these involve art - I guess it goes without saying you have to be artistic to create these products? What happens if I am not very arty, I can craft but if I had to draw something (except for the photography) could I still do these things? Thanks.
Hi Grace. I wouldn't say i'm personally an 'artistic' person myself to be honest. I don't paint or draw or anything like that but I do think that what really counts when it comes to creating any of these products is that you have a willingness to learn how to create them and that you have a good mind for discovering what your target audience wants. For example I don't think I was super talented or amazing at creating art printables when I first started out. In fact I had no idea what I was doing but I took the time to learn the basics and most importantly I used my 'limited' business skills lol to find a niche that I could cater too and that I felt comfortable selling in. I also source my graphic design element and fonts from other designers on places like creative market and Etsy to create art printables for my shop so thank goodness I can offer my customers better designs then what I could achieve myself (which would most likely be a stick figure) lol. I hope this helps some lovely and don't let the fear that you're not creative enough stop you from finding a way to achieve your goals :) Evaknows xoxo
Evaknows thanks I’ve started buying from Creative Market and I have some expertise in Illustrator due to a past job. I just have to overcome some mental hurdles that I’m not good enough yet.
Thankyou so much for your lovely comment Naketa. I can't wait to hear what you decide to sell online in the near future :) definitely come back and let me know soon :)
This might be a really dumb question. But in order to sell digital prints, do you have to design them yourself by drawing them out or can you simply use pictures that you find on the web?
Hi lovely 😀💕 No you can't grab pictures you find on the internet and use them to sell on Etsy. You need to consider copyright and trademark laws when creating any digital download product and you need to ensure that the graphics you use in your art print designs are suitable for commercial use. I have a video on this subject in my art printables playlist. I will link it for you here: th-cam.com/video/lDbyTxV-ADA/w-d-xo.html I hope that helps a little lovely 😀💕 Evaknows xoxo
This is fantastic! I’m steadily making my way though your videos. Do you have an affiliate link for opening an etsy store? I found one with someone else that offers the first 40 listings free, but I’d rather use yours especially as I’ve gotten so much amazingly useful info from your channel
Hi lovely. No unfortunately I don't have a free listings affiliate link at the moment so please feel free to use another's 😀💕 I'm actually in the process of setting up another Etsy shop and giving my existing one a big re-brand as it's been a while since I last did it lol. I seem to love giving myself too much to do at once haha so I'm pushing my Etsy journey as you are now lol 😀💕 Definitely let me know how you get on building your own online business lovely and thankyou so much for the lovely comments about my TH-cam videos 😀💕

Hi lovely. Yes, the discount is closing in the next couple of hours but I do have a sale on for 50% off for cyber Monday and black Friday. Here's the link to grab it whilst it's still available lovely. tiny.cc/50OFFENROLL I hope that helps :)
Hi! Thanks for a great and interesting video. :) I was wondering how your digital products preform in comparison with the physical products? How large a percentage of your sales is digital products? I am really interested in selling digital products like posters and invitations etc in pdf version, but I am bit apprehensive about how easy they are to sell.
Hi lovely. When I first started my Etsy shop I only created art printables as I had no idea how I was going to sell physical versions without me having to create the prints. So digital sales made up 100% of my income. I then decided to take some of my most popular art printables and offer them as physical versions that I could drop-ship through a company called Printful. I would say personally for me, it really depends on the time of year, which holidays coming up, which of my products are doing well in Etsy as to what's more popular that month (digital or physical) as there are times that my digital outsell my physical and then vice versa. It also depends on what designs i'm promoting that month and if I offer them in digital or physical format. I know a number of art printable sellers that don't offer physical versions because they prefer working with digital and others that like to mix and match like myself. I would say to try some digital versions of your art prints in your shop and if you start to see a few sales come through then you can add to your digital collection over time. I would personally say that I find digital versions no harder or easier to sell than physical... as there is a huge digital artwork market on Etsy however I would say I stress slightly more about my physical art prints as I like to keep track of their production with Printful and making sure they get to the customer safely... which is usually not a problem but it's not as straight forward as when I sell one of my digital products. I hope that helps lovely. Sorry for the long explanation. I just wanted to make sure I explain my experience clearly enough.
Hi lovely. It depends on the usage license that the specific artwork or font has. I personally prefer to use Canva to create my art printables and Canva but I don't tend to use their artwork or fonts to create my retail products. I personally prefer to use places such as Creative Market and Etsy to purchase the artwork and fonts I want to use in my products so that I know I have the right license to protect me and my art printables and as I don't really use Canva artwork or fonts I wouldn't want to mislead you and say they are fine to use no matter what. I would personally email Canva if you're confused about any of their graphic elements and you'd like to use them in your products. Just to be 100% sure of the usage license (e.g. commercial use/ Extended licnese/ one time use etc) for yourself. I have emailed Canva about various subjects and they have always been super helpful. Again so sorry I can't be more specific but I personally prefer to use and often recommend using specific alternative marketplaces and platforms to source my graphic elements (with clear licensing e.g. Creative Market) so I wouldn't want to give you informations about Canva's or Picmonkey's rules or regulations that i'm not 100% sure about. I hope you find the answer soon lovely Evaknows xoxo
Thank you for making this video. I am actually opening up my own blog to sell my digital art and you opened up my mind to so many more ideas of digital art. You’re great!
Hi Doughna. Yes for each listing that you create on Etsy you need to pay $0.20 cents however you can get 40 free listings if you refer someone who then opens an Etsy shop. I personally love selling my art printables on Etsy but depending on what types of digital products you want to create you can sell on a number of different platforms including Creative Market, Ebay or even your own blog or shopify shop. I personally have found that Etsy is the easiest and friendliest platform to sell digital products on but you can also sell on Creative Market (which I personally love to purchase from) but it's more suited to stock products e.g. clipart, graphics for marketing, digital fonts, stock photos etc. You also have the option to sell and promote on your own independent platform such as a blog or ecommerce shop. This can be a little trickier to build and market and it might take you longer to drive in traffic to your own independent website as you don't have the in-built platform traffic that somewhere like Etsy already has. But it's a great option if you want complete creative freedom with the look of your own digital download website so it's definitely something to consider 😀💕 I actually have a little video to help you think through the pro's and cons of choosing a marketplace platform vs your own website or blog here - th-cam.com/video/lvCAMy9fEEE/w-d-xo.html I hope that helps some lovely. Evaknows xoxo
Hi lovely. Yes sure could you just let me know the first name you used to sign up for the freebie lovely and i'll try and find you and resend the checklist asap 😀💕
Hi lovely. I'm not sure of any 'free' marketplace platforms for selling digital products lovely. But you don't have to pay a monthly fee on Etsy. You only pay whenever you make a sale so that you can factor the fees into your overall pricing 😀💕
Hello! Thank you so much for your brilliant videos... I've watched loads of them, taking notes! I opened my ETSY shop today, selling digital art prints with the theme of LGBTQ+ Pride and Pop Culture. Someone pointed out to me that I might need a licence to sell a print with a celebrities name on it, or using their song lyrics or catchphrases. Do you know about this? I.e can I make a print that says 'If you can't love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love somebody else? - RuPaul' ? Other's are doing it on Etsy but I know that may not make it legal! My shop is YasssQween if you want to have a look and any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
TFS. I am considering 2 of these ideas (digital planners and motivational art prints) and may want to add some of my designs to physical products down the line. Should I have different shops for each of these lines or could they all work in one shop?
Hi lovely. It all depends on if each of the products you're thinking about creating (e.g. digital planners/art prints) and if they all appeal to the same target audience. You can offer a wide variety of different types of products in your Etsy shop including both digital and physical but you need to ensure that the same niche of people will be interested in all your products because they all still appeal to them, their style and their niche. I offer both physical and digital art prints in my shop as well as a few desktop wall papers, invitations etc but the reason why I can keep them all in one shop instead of separating them is because they all appeal to a similar audience who enjoy a similar aesthetic and so would potentially be happy to shop any of my products. However if you start filling your shop with number of products that DON'T target a similar target audience (e.g. contemporary modern and minimalist art prints alongside kitsch busy floral and very feminine digital planners) then you'll be confusing your audience and making it increasingly hard for you to drive TARGETED traffic to your shop as you're trying to appeal to conflicting audiences. Then instead I would personally recommend that you create a separate shop that focuses on your modern contemporary art print niche in one and your kitsch floral digital planner niche in the other 😀💕 I hope that helps a little lovely and let me know when you start building your business. It sounds so exciting 😀💕
Hello. Thank you for your information. So I really want to break into this. I am into various types of art. I do acrylic paintings, and would like to sell my designs for different products. Would I scan the pictures of my painting and upload ? so many options I feel a little overwhelmed. Would it work the same on Etsy as it does on Café press etc? Thank you so much for input. I just want to get started and learn what I need to then I can expand!
Hi lovely. I don't personally create the illustrations that go onto my artwork so i'm not 100% sure on how you would go about scanning your artwork into your computer and converting them into png or jpg files that you can use to create your digital artwork or other products with your designs on them. However once you get the transfer process sorted and you start creating products, then it really is an awesome way to use your creativity and design skills to create gorgeous products and bring in income. I've never personally used Cafe Press so I couldn't tell you if it shares a similar layout as Etsy however once you get up and running I truly think that Etsy is an awesome platform to sell both physical and digital artwork. Etsy is super easy to get the hang of and offers the awesome ability to create digital products that are sent by Etsy straight to your customer's Etsy account as soon as they've purchased them. Sorry I couldn't be of help with how to transfer you acrylic paintings into digital artwork but you should be able to Google or TH-cam a solution and then start having fun building your Etsy shop from the ground up 😀💕 Evaknows xoxo
I recomend Affinity softwares to create your designs. They look and feel just like Adobe, buto without the monthly fees (one payment to purchace the software - $ 50.00). I am using Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo and I am in love! PS: Please visit my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/ArtsByNaty It's very new, but is growing every day.
Thankyou so much for the recommendation lovely. I will definitely check Affinity software out :) You're Etsy shop is gorgeous lovely very clean and attractive. I would personally recommend that you could raise your prices though. You're designs are lovely and well worth more than your currently selling them for :) Good luck on your Etsy journey lovely and I can't wait to see your shop grow! Evaknows xoxo
Oh, thank you so much. I am working on listing every day for now, and the price will go up as soon as I start making sales. I appreciate your recommendation and I will follow every tip. Thank you ;)
This video seriously just blew my mind. As a graphic designer and photographer, I'm always looking for new ways to make a passive income. This video has blew the others off the chart! I have been hearing the same thing over and over for months. After listening to this, I have hope that I can quit my 9-5 job sooner than later! Thank you! @ChelseyRainell
That's so wonderful lovely. I'm so happy that you found inspiration in my video 😀💕 I adore creating digital products and building my online business and over the last 2 years, it's become my full time income so I'm so glad that it's inspired you too. Definitely keep me updated with your journey as you go along lovely and please feel free to reach out and let me know if you need any support. I will do my best to help 😀💕
Hey Giselle. I don't tend to add a link to my shop on my TH-cam channel simply because it messes up my Etsy analytics when I get traffic from my TH-cam channel with people just coming to have a look lol. My shops name is www.iknowimperfect.com,😀💕you're welcome to check it out.
Ursula Wollenberg you can teach by creating video courses on Skillshare.com. I have been learning a lot on this site and creating my first online class.
Eva: I'd like to sell artistic, video clips that are about 30 seconds - 1 minute long that anyone can use for their video project. Can I sell that on Etsy?
I'm not sure lovely. I don't personally sell video footage on Etsy. I'm sure there is a way that you could do this but I don't know if Etsy would be the right platform or target audience for this type of product. I'm definitely not saying you can't give it a try... it might work out great lol. But I wouldn't want to say definitely to this as I've not personally tried it myself lovely 😀
This is just superb, I've been looking for "sale ebooks online" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Zansabella Zondalyn Scheme - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my partner got excellent success with it

I'm truely considering making a switch between focusing on local business advertising to creating Moch ups of my own.You're the first person I told about it since I considered it.
I purchase mockups constantly from Creative Market for my digital products! I love them :)
I only have a few downloadable pieces. Should I try and get a larger number of items before opening a shop/store or is it OK to open the store and just add items as I go? What is a good number of items to start with? Thank you for the great video!
Hi lovely.
It's entirely up to you how you decide to start, but personally I would recommend getting your shop or website set up and deciding what you want to sell and what target audience you want to target before you start mass creating your products?
Once you feel confident with your niche and what products you want to sell, then focus on creating amazing high quality digital downloads that your target audience will love.
You will often find that as you start growing and selling your inventory, you'll be able to use your shop or website data and marketing data to start to see what digital products your audience want you to create and what special niches or trends your missing out on.
So please don't worry about having all of your digital products created BEFORE you even start.
It's so important to put a few of your pieces out there and start to get feedback as you go along to help you create more and more tailored products for your audience.
I always recommend that when it comes to art printables (which is what I personally sell) that you should focus on creating around 40-50 art prints to really help you fill up your shop and to start building your Etsy traffic...
However this completely depends on what type of digital product you're selling as it will be entirely different for e.g...
Ecourses - As you can start by selling with just 1 or 2 on your own website, blog or ecourse platform.
So it truly does depend on what digital products you want to create and what audience you're creating them for but if you let me know what you're thinking about specifically selling I might be able to help you a little further lovely 😀💕
I sell my digital products on Etsy and on Digitanza. What I like about Digitanza is that they provide the support to the customers, so that I don't need to communicate with everyone and spend time for this. Also there are less competition and it's easier to get noticed by the customers
HePaidIt - hi there!
I’m such a perfectionist, I decided I wouldn’t launch my own blog unless (until) I had 100 articles completed. Then I worried about being dead right out the gate (who is going to subscribe to a blog w 100 posts and zero comments/activity, etc....) Perhaps it is different for everyone - I am a perpetual planner who never got beyond the “research” stage so in my own “failure to launch” I can tell you I have seen bloggers starting off as beginners with few printables and watched them grow in popularity above and beyond popular bloggers who’ve been around for years.... Although the niche are not all the same, each blog involved “printables”.....
One thing people LOVE is “Freebies”.....
(Having made lots of money selling jewelry online in previous years - I know how well freebies work!) Freebies of any kind are the most profitable form of advertising known to man! People flock to freebies & they LOVE to share those links with their friends too!
I highly recommend you consider building your site and (as you grow your following) offer those few items for free (if your eproducts are too valuable to give away for the next few months, maybe create a handful of smaller freebies - or just give away a portion of your printables - like the calendar instead of the whole planner, etc....
This will motivate and inspire you as you go.
Your first subscribers will feel special since they’re scoring freebies only available to your earliest subscribers.... If you are familiar with digital badge/reward systems (you can add them on & use/design them entirely free via many open source platforms)
to [SECURE] that following by allowing the first 1000 registered subscribers a special Digital Badge that identifies them as a special “VIP” member that guarantees a special discount code just for them (and maybe offer them an extra promotional discount compared to your other members, etc... Even if it is small (15% forever discount) It is a popular Persuasive Technique used in Sales & Marketing. Customers LIKE to feel special and lil things like digi badges are free for you but can make a huge difference while growing your following...
Whatever you decide, make sure you grow your following from the site you plan to monetize.
i.e. Some people think its easier to just create a quick weebly blog to start off with and they figure they’ll just move it all over to their official wordpress site once they are ready to open up shop - but the terms of the fine print when you register subscribers only allows you to have & use that mailing list for the specific website you signed up with...
This means you could not email those same people from a different domain (even if its the same content & products...) You wouldn’t want to start all over so I just want to let you know it is important you grow your following from the site/domain/blog you ultimately intend on using either way...
I hope this helps...
Warm Regards...
I’m happy to share what I have learned...
At this point I have learned so much I half wonder if my own niche should be sharing all the notes/books/blog info (everything I’ve learned over the last 3 years of “sitting on my hands....” ) I always thought it was information I had to find and skills I had to master - but as it turns out I have PLENTY of those. I just need to ditch my fears and find the courage to
“take action”.... Congrats to you for taking that step!
I’ll be your first subscriber when you’re ready! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 🤗🤗🤗😉☺️🌺

Hi!!!! I love your channel and you so pretty! I live in UK too and people here they are not still on the passive income mentality or being financially free. I am in the process of designing for my new etsy shop I want to sell printables. I am curious to see a video of you working from home routine like a day in the life video just how you manage your time. I feel like I haven't found my balance yet with managing my time and working from home. I try my best to set specific time slots aside just for work but I fail miserably, plus I have a toddler so I get distracted a lot by him too. I imagine you must have a solid routine. Please keep the videos coming :)
Noora's Secret Garden Thankyou so much Noora for your lovely comment😍💕. I definately would like to incorporate some more vlog style videos in the future so thankyou for the suggestion about the work routine it's now on my list 😀💕 Yes it's super difficult to create and maintain a routine around building your passive income and it's something I'm always working on improving. I've finally started to grasp a good routine for me over the last 5 months or so but it's always a work in progress😀. The fact that you have so much going on in your life but you're still working towards your financial goals is absolutely amazing and you should be so proud of yourself that you're being proactive and trying to find the right daily routine to make it work for you. Good luck with your Etsy shop lovely and definately let me know how you get on😀 and thankyou so much again for your lovely message Noora 😀💕
hi i love watching your videos and learning from them :) im inspired to open my shop i wanted to know what's the best way to save and sale my printables to my customers what format should i use? PDF or JPG im so confused please help
Hey Eva, Real helpful content.Thank you.Where to buy social media Template packs?
Hi lovely. You can purchase really beautiful and cool social media digital kits and packs that help with social media marketing in places like Creative Market. Which is my personal favorite but you can also purchase them from Etsy as well 😀💕
Nice video, thanks! It would be just nice to see some examples (e.g. while you are talking about something to show some examples for those who doesn't know it - for example how does a "social media template pack" look like, what is ist - just show some examples...)
Can I do this even if I'm not an artist, or good at drawing, painting etc? Thanks
Hi lovely. Yes, you can definitely create digital products as long as you have the drive and focus to practise and learn how to create and sell them 😀💕
@@Evaknowsoffice lovely thank you 🥰
Thank you for sharing this video!
Wonderful video, thank you!
Thankyou so much lovely 😀💕
@@Evaknowsoffice You're so welcome! Keep it up on the videos 👏🙌 I'm learing a lot!
Do you have a video on making and using digital mockups?
Eva, what a wonderful tips for lots of artist, great work !..thanks
Wonderfully helpful & thorough video. I truly appreciate the effort you put into this to help & encourage other creators. Thank you, Eva.
Ty so much! Love this channel
As this video is from 2018 wondering how sales on Etsy has been in 2020 with covid around. I could only imagine a lot more designers going online. Is the platform still very profitable for you in 2020 and now 2021. I do digital art and just subscribed to your channel today. I also have a class on Zazzle platform so not sure where the best return would be. Zazzle is only Print on Demand, while Etsy you can create your own art (digital product or real art prints and ship prints, with possible higher margins perhaps). Thanks for any feedback!
Hi lovely. I personally definitely still think Etsy is a great platform to use for your business in 2021. I still use and run my shop and I have plans to really push and focus even more on it in 2021 😀💕
I run multiple online businesses so I have to juggle a wide number of platforms at once and prioritize my time between each business as best I can lol.
Just like any online platform, you do need to take the time to learn how to get the most out of it and it does take work to grow but if it's a platform you want to use and you want to be able to sell digital products alongside your physical ones then Etsy is still a good platform for that 😀💕
Hello I am interested in creating planners and also invitations. Is it okay to use Canva for a professional look or do I need to sign up with Adobe indesign? Also how much do people typically make on etsy?
What’s your Etsy shop called? I’d love to check it out
Thanks Eva! I make stationary pages and you just gave me a bit of confidence to start my own Easy store.
Thankyou so much Summer and definitely let me know how you get on when you start your Etsy shop. I adore stationary and i'm super excited to see your Etsy journey :)
😘
Hi! Thanks for your ideas. I just wanna ask you how do you avoid piracy when publishing your digital downloads?
am i allowed to create a design in Canva and resell?? Would i have to basically start with a blank page for lets say a planner... and add my design? I see that they have premade templates..
Great great information. I'm into photography but would like to know how can I protect my images on Etsy from shoppers doing a screen shot of my pics, rather than downloading them? Thanks
Vaughn Joseph You should add watermarks like a lot of stock photo sites do.
Omg ty!! So many great ideas! I needed this to get me on the right track for selling my photography (abstract and vintage) so I appreciate your advice.
I want to sell printable relevant to my busy party decor business as a second revenue stream - do you think I could do a few of these ideas in the one shop? For example, baby shower invitations, games and planners?? Then the same for weddings, hen parties etc? Or do you need to specialise in one thing xx
Hi lovely.
I actually have a video that talks about when I personally think it could help to have a second shop or if it would work to stick with one shop but sell variations of products here...
When should you open another Etsy shop? - th-cam.com/video/D4zBc2MVdJA/w-d-xo.html
I hope it helps lovely 😀💕
Hi ! I was hoping to find out how to actually get the pdf files from your computer and actually selling them ? Does that make sense ? Do I just upload them onto the site I’m selling ? How does the customer then download them ? X
I want to download some digitals from Etsy but I wish I could confirm if I can modify them with Canva. Do most sellers make them for canvas since the whole point of buying these is to skip photoshop and other more advanced softwares?
Good content and ideas, but I don’t see a link to your Etsy site that you mentioned in your video. I wanted to see how you applied your own concepts, see what worked for you and what you are selling. I don’t see an Etsy site link on your blog either. Do you have an Etsy site?
Hey lovely.
I don't tend to add a link to my shop on my TH-cam channel simply because it messes up my Etsy analytics when I get traffic from my TH-cam channel with people just coming to have a look lol.
My shops name is www.iknowimperfect.com,😀💕you're welcome to check it out.
Evaknows Thank you!! Really enjoying your content and learning a lot. Very motivating! Going to check Etsy now. Have a lovely weekend!
Hey Eva. Thank you for all the tips and bits of advice. Do you sell on creative market?
Hi JK.
Thankyou so much for the kind message. I don't sell on Creative Market anymore as I decided to focus on my Etsy and Amazon shops this year. I personally prefer to sell my art prints on Etsy and Amazon and i'm focusing on creating my own ecommerce website to also create a fun place for my customers to purchase aswell.
I hope that helps lovely 😀💕

Hi Eva, What are your recommendations for a business website like Wix, Squarespace, etc. I want one that is simple to work with.
Hi lovely.
I personally use both platforms but I have to admit I find Squarespace a little easier and more strategic to use.
I wish you so much luck on whatever platform you choose though and I think they both have awesome pro's to them and are quite easy to get the hang of 😀💕
Hii eva i am from indonesia and i want open store etsy as digital download, but i confused about it.
Some people make with canva and they are use stock design from canva and adobe illustrator
My question can i make wedding invitation with stock design from like freepik but i will add link at readme file or i will design from public domain like pixabay it's common cc 0 without add link
Love and appreciate your videos! One question.... if my digital art prints use a font that most people are not likely to have, do I have to embed that font in the file in some way?? OR will they buyer get the print exactly as it appears? Thanks!!!
Hi Cheryl. No your customer should get your print exactly as you download it and upload it to Etsy lovely.
I personally like to download my art printables as PDFs on Canva and i've used many different fonts but it's not a problem as long as it downloads correctly when you download a copy from Canva 😀💕
Evaknows, thanks so much! Much appreciated.
Thanks.
I wanted to ask, how do you work around Canva's legal policy of not selling art work designed with their software outside of the canva website?
Hi lovely. You can use Canva as a graphic design platform as long as you are creating your own custom ORIGINAL design (not using their graphics) and you do not simply take one of their templates and resell it.
You need to create your own UNIQUE art work using graphic elements that you have purchased the commercial license to use...
As I explain in a number of my other videos about finding graphics.
You can simply use Canva as the design tool to create your unique piece of art using commercial use graphics which is how I like to do it.
Evaknows Thank you so much for replying! Very helpful!
Hi Laura!
Thank you for sharing these ideas! I sold digital graphics in the past, on fiverr and upwork, but I realised it takes me too much time to make custom graphics for each customer. And I also have a day job...
I always wanted to start making something stock and sell it online, creating a passive income stream and so on... I don't know why I didn't do it until now.
What do you recommend to try for art printables? Should I sell them on creativemarket / etsy or should I go with a shopify ecommerce solution?
Thank you for yout time!
Hi Cristi. So sorry it's taken me a few days to get back to you it's been so hectic atm that I haven't had a minute to check my TH-cam.
But thankyou so much for your comment and it's so exciting that you're thinking about creating your own art printable business. I adore mine and i've learned so much about selling online and creating online income from it :)
I personally love to use Etsy to sell my digital downloads. So much so that I also created a course around it because it's taught me so much about making sales and it's one of my favorite online passive income streams.
Do keep me up to date with your business adventure and let me know what selling platform you decide to use to pursue your art printable goals lovely :)
Can you sell movies on Etsy? Please make a video on it
where do you get your printables to sell?
I design them myself lovely 😀💕
Love the confidence, watching all your videos. thx
Great information. I’m trying to get clarification on the use of clip art or images from places like creative market or unsplash. I have heard people say that the standard license does not mean you can use it for digital artwork resale. Is that info correct? Do you purchase the extended license?
Hi lovely. I'm not sure on unsplash as I don't use that website for any graphics or imagery that I want to add to my products. However with Creative Market you can see what you can and can't do under their licensing agreements.
Here's a link for you to check them out if you need a little more guidance about what each license involves lovely 😀💕
creativemarket.com/licenses
Also I always suggest that if you're ever in doubt about whether you can use a product on Creative Market for the reason you want... Then quickly message the seller just to double check so you know exactly what you can and can't do with their products.
what's the best format to save your digital pdf or jpg y mean for best quality when my customer print it
Hi lovely.
I like to create and download my art printables using a program called Canva as PDF files that are ready for print.
It's super straight forward to do using Canva and I love the way my art printables look and how high quality they are using this format.
I do know that some people prefer to download their art printables in jpg format at 300dpi resolution in some shops so the choice is personally up to you.
I just find that creating my art printables in PDF format is easier for me but retains a super high quality printable that's perfect for printing.
I hope that helps some lovely.

Where can I find these digital games? Do I create them myself or do I download it elsewhere if I’m thinking of selling them in an Etsy shop?
A lot of these involve art - I guess it goes without saying you have to be artistic to create these products? What happens if I am not very arty, I can craft but if I had to draw something (except for the photography) could I still do these things? Thanks.
Hi Grace.
I wouldn't say i'm personally an 'artistic' person myself to be honest. I don't paint or draw or anything like that but I do think that what really counts when it comes to creating any of these products is that you have a willingness to learn how to create them and that you have a good mind for discovering what your target audience wants.
For example I don't think I was super talented or amazing at creating art printables when I first started out. In fact I had no idea what I was doing but I took the time to learn the basics and most importantly I used my 'limited' business skills lol to find a niche that I could cater too and that I felt comfortable selling in.
I also source my graphic design element and fonts from other designers on places like creative market and Etsy to create art printables for my shop so thank goodness I can offer my customers better designs then what I could achieve myself (which would most likely be a stick figure) lol.
I hope this helps some lovely and don't let the fear that you're not creative enough stop you from finding a way to achieve your goals :)

Evaknows thanks I’ve started buying from Creative Market and I have some expertise in Illustrator due to a past job. I just have to overcome some mental hurdles that I’m not good enough yet.
Hi! I watched your videos before and I want to get into this space! Awesome content
Thankyou so much for your lovely comment Naketa. I can't wait to hear what you decide to sell online in the near future :) definitely come back and let me know soon :)
This might be a really dumb question. But in order to sell digital prints, do you have to design them yourself by drawing them out or can you simply use pictures that you find on the web?
Hi lovely 😀💕
No you can't grab pictures you find on the internet and use them to sell on Etsy.
You need to consider copyright and trademark laws when creating any digital download product and you need to ensure that the graphics you use in your art print designs are suitable for commercial use.
I have a video on this subject in my art printables playlist.
I will link it for you here: th-cam.com/video/lDbyTxV-ADA/w-d-xo.html

Beautiful 🙌
You are awesome!!! I really love your videos!
Hi! Thanks for a great and interesting video. :) I was wondering how your digital products preform in comparison with the physical products? How large a percentage of your sales is digital products? I am really interested in selling digital products like posters and invitations etc in pdf version, but I am bit apprehensive about how easy they are to sell.
Hi lovely. When I first started my Etsy shop I only created art printables as I had no idea how I was going to sell physical versions without me having to create the prints. So digital sales made up 100% of my income.
I then decided to take some of my most popular art printables and offer them as physical versions that I could drop-ship through a company called Printful.
I would say personally for me, it really depends on the time of year, which holidays coming up, which of my products are doing well in Etsy as to what's more popular that month (digital or physical) as there are times that my digital outsell my physical and then vice versa.
It also depends on what designs i'm promoting that month and if I offer them in digital or physical format.
I know a number of art printable sellers that don't offer physical versions because they prefer working with digital and others that like to mix and match like myself.
I would say to try some digital versions of your art prints in your shop and if you start to see a few sales come through then you can add to your digital collection over time.
I would personally say that I find digital versions no harder or easier to sell than physical... as there is a huge digital artwork market on Etsy
however I would say I stress slightly more about my physical art prints as I like to keep track of their production with Printful and making sure they get to the customer safely... which is usually not a problem but it's not as straight forward as when I sell one of my digital products.
I hope that helps lovely. Sorry for the long explanation. I just wanted to make sure I explain my experience clearly enough.
Very interesting, thank you!
🥰🥰🥰 thank you for the ideas!! Love it! 😊
Hey! Just a quick question, are picmonkey's and canva's desings and fonts etc free for commercial use?
Hi lovely. It depends on the usage license that the specific artwork or font has. I personally prefer to use Canva to create my art printables and Canva but I don't tend to use their artwork or fonts to create my retail products.
I personally prefer to use places such as Creative Market and Etsy to purchase the artwork and fonts I want to use in my products so that I know I have the right license to protect me and my art printables and as I don't really use Canva artwork or fonts I wouldn't want to mislead you and say they are fine to use no matter what.
I would personally email Canva if you're confused about any of their graphic elements and you'd like to use them in your products. Just to be 100% sure of the usage license (e.g. commercial use/ Extended licnese/ one time use etc) for yourself.
I have emailed Canva about various subjects and they have always been super helpful.
Again so sorry I can't be more specific but I personally prefer to use and often recommend using specific alternative marketplaces and platforms to source my graphic elements (with clear licensing e.g. Creative Market) so I wouldn't want to give you informations about Canva's or Picmonkey's rules or regulations that i'm not 100% sure about.
I hope you find the answer soon lovely

Is there a fee for every listing on etsy? Do u have any recommendations for other platforms where can I sell digital products? Thanks!
Hi Doughna.
Yes for each listing that you create on Etsy you need to pay $0.20 cents however you can get 40 free listings if you refer someone who then opens an Etsy shop.
I personally love selling my art printables on Etsy but depending on what types of digital products you want to create you can sell on a number of different platforms including Creative Market, Ebay or even your own blog or shopify shop.
I personally have found that Etsy is the easiest and friendliest platform to sell digital products on but you can also sell on Creative Market (which I personally love to purchase from) but it's more suited to stock products e.g. clipart, graphics for marketing, digital fonts, stock photos etc.
You also have the option to sell and promote on your own independent platform such as a blog or ecommerce shop.
This can be a little trickier to build and market and it might take you longer to drive in traffic to your own independent website as you don't have the in-built platform traffic that somewhere like Etsy already has.
But it's a great option if you want complete creative freedom with the look of your own digital download website so it's definitely something to consider 😀💕
I actually have a little video to help you think through the pro's and cons of choosing a marketplace platform vs your own website or blog here - th-cam.com/video/lvCAMy9fEEE/w-d-xo.html
I hope that helps some lovely.

Hi lovely.
I'm not sure of any 'free' marketplace platforms for selling digital products lovely. But you don't have to pay a monthly fee on Etsy. You only pay whenever you make a sale so that you can factor the fees into your overall pricing 😀💕
Great overview of product ideas!
Thanks for great info beautiful lady!

Hello! Thank you so much for your brilliant videos... I've watched loads of them, taking notes! I opened my ETSY shop today, selling digital art prints with the theme of LGBTQ+ Pride and Pop Culture. Someone pointed out to me that I might need a licence to sell a print with a celebrities name on it, or using their song lyrics or catchphrases. Do you know about this? I.e can I make a print that says 'If you can't love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love somebody else? - RuPaul' ? Other's are doing it on Etsy but I know that may not make it legal! My shop is YasssQween if you want to have a look and any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
TFS. I am considering 2 of these ideas (digital planners and motivational art prints) and may want to add some of my designs to physical products down the line. Should I have different shops for each of these lines or could they all work in one shop?
Hi lovely. It all depends on if each of the products you're thinking about creating (e.g. digital planners/art prints) and if they all appeal to the same target audience.
You can offer a wide variety of different types of products in your Etsy shop including both digital and physical but you need to ensure that the same niche of people will be interested in all your products because they all still appeal to them, their style and their niche.
I offer both physical and digital art prints in my shop as well as a few desktop wall papers, invitations etc but the reason why I can keep them all in one shop instead of separating them is because they all appeal to a similar audience who enjoy a similar aesthetic and so would potentially be happy to shop any of my products.
However if you start filling your shop with number of products that DON'T target a similar target audience (e.g. contemporary modern and minimalist art prints alongside kitsch busy floral and very feminine digital planners) then you'll be confusing your audience and making it increasingly hard for you to drive TARGETED traffic to your shop as you're trying to appeal to conflicting audiences.
Then instead I would personally recommend that you create a separate shop that focuses on your modern contemporary art print niche in one and your kitsch floral digital planner niche in the other 😀💕
I hope that helps a little lovely and let me know when you start building your business. It sounds so exciting 😀💕
Thank you!
Hello. Thank you for your information. So I really want to break into this. I am into various types of art. I do acrylic paintings, and would like to sell my designs for different products. Would I scan the pictures of my painting and upload ? so many options I feel a little overwhelmed. Would it work the same on Etsy as it does on Café press etc? Thank you so much for input. I just want to get started and learn what I need to then I can expand!
Hi lovely. I don't personally create the illustrations that go onto my artwork so i'm not 100% sure on how you would go about scanning your artwork into your computer and converting them into png or jpg files that you can use to create your digital artwork or other products with your designs on them.
However once you get the transfer process sorted and you start creating products, then it really is an awesome way to use your creativity and design skills to create gorgeous products and bring in income.
I've never personally used Cafe Press so I couldn't tell you if it shares a similar layout as Etsy however once you get up and running I truly think that Etsy is an awesome platform to sell both physical and digital artwork.
Etsy is super easy to get the hang of and offers the awesome ability to create digital products that are sent by Etsy straight to your customer's Etsy account as soon as they've purchased them.
Sorry I couldn't be of help with how to transfer you acrylic paintings into digital artwork but you should be able to Google or TH-cam a solution and then start having fun building your Etsy shop from the ground up 😀💕

I recomend Affinity softwares to create your designs. They look and feel just like Adobe, buto without the monthly fees (one payment to purchace the software - $ 50.00). I am using Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo and I am in love!
PS: Please visit my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/ArtsByNaty
It's very new, but is growing every day.
Thankyou so much for the recommendation lovely. I will definitely check Affinity software out :)
You're Etsy shop is gorgeous lovely very clean and attractive. I would personally recommend that you could raise your prices though. You're designs are lovely and well worth more than your currently selling them for :)
Good luck on your Etsy journey lovely and I can't wait to see your shop grow!

This video seriously just blew my mind. As a graphic designer and photographer, I'm always looking for new ways to make a passive income. This video has blew the others off the chart! I have been hearing the same thing over and over for months.
After listening to this, I have hope that I can quit my 9-5 job sooner than later!
Thank you!
@ChelseyRainell
That's so wonderful lovely.
I'm so happy that you found inspiration in my video 😀💕
I adore creating digital products and building my online business and over the last 2 years, it's become my full time income so I'm so glad that it's inspired you too.
Definitely keep me updated with your journey as you go along lovely and please feel free to reach out and let me know if you need any support.
I will do my best to help 😀💕
@@Evaknowsoffice You are wonderful! Thank you, I will!
Where’s your Etsy store?
Hey Giselle. I don't tend to add a link to my shop on my TH-cam channel simply because it messes up my Etsy analytics when I get traffic from my TH-cam channel with people just coming to have a look lol.
My shops name is www.iknowimperfect.com,😀💕you're welcome to check it out.
love all the ideas!
Wow 🤩
Ohh shit, I know everybody says you this but you're so attractive and I love your eyes!
Thanks Eva for these helpful info
How can I contact you pls?
Hi Must And. At the moment the easiest way to contact me is to leave a message on TH-cam lovely. Let me know if there is anything you need 😀.
Thank you so much for sharing. You are such a beautiful woman of color.
I would love to know the best way to offer painting lessons and classes on Etsy.
Ursula Wollenberg you can teach by creating video courses on Skillshare.com. I have been learning a lot on this site and creating my first online class.

Oh godness you looks like my sister, when I saw you I ask what Ywette f* doin there 😂😂
Eva: I'd like to sell artistic, video clips that are about 30 seconds - 1 minute long that anyone can use for their video project. Can I sell that on Etsy?
I'm not sure lovely. I don't personally sell video footage on Etsy. I'm sure there is a way that you could do this but I don't know if Etsy would be the right platform or target audience for this type of product.
I'm definitely not saying you can't give it a try... it might work out great lol. But I wouldn't want to say definitely to this as I've not personally tried it myself lovely 😀
Try envato
Thanks for the great info. You are such a pretty young lady.
You look beautiful
This is just superb, I've been looking for "sale ebooks online" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Zansabella Zondalyn Scheme - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my partner got excellent success with it
Wow she fine
please get to the point a little quicker in your videos
