This is so helpful! I appreciate how easy to understand your tutorials are. Thank you especially for explaining the legal aspects of selling Canva-made templates!

[@AlissaRose]

Happy to help! I was confused on the legal stuff too! But with not too much help from other videos and Canva I dove into the terms myself and was able to figure out the most important things. Thanks for watching!

[@tessmackay8614]

Yes, deffinitly! Canva is seriously the best online tool I've ever used. I need to get on actually creating a product to sell on here and not just for my own daily use! Thanks for the extra nudge 😊

[@AlissaRose]

Yes, Tess! It's funny, I'm creating Instagram feed post templates right now and I actually have a bunch I created for myself already! When I realized that it was a relief because now I don't need to make ALL of them from scratch again! Use what you already got, girl!

[@Vikingshop]

@@AlissaRose... Do you have a video teaching how to make Instagram Templates..... and Tik Tok Videos? 🙏

[@TyarsEssentials]

This is by far the best explanation of how to sell Canva templates I've seen. Thank you so much for putting together this beautifully done informative video.

[@karismatikkween08]

Alissa with the gems!! And so early... Ooohwee. I wish you success that will blow your mind cus your generosity and hard work just has to be duly rewarded. Oooh girl... Gratitude overflowing!!!!

[@AlissaRose]

Thanks girl! Glad to help. Hope you make some awesome template 👏👏

[@kt1122]

Thank you so much for this. I’m a graphic designer and illustrator already, but I want to make passive income that won’t cost me too much time (especially making things from scratch on Adobe).

Here because I’m sooo ready to grow my passive income shop on Etsy!

YES! GET 👏 IT 👏 - what are you planning on selling?

[@whatwilliwatch3405]

Thank you for this. I am new to Canva and the digital download marketplace, and I plan to follow this tutorial as a means of familiarizing myself with both. Whether or not I actually end up selling the end result, I think it will be good practice.

[@AlissaRose]

I think that's a great idea!

[@RubyRim]

I use canvas almost daily and I love it. This video was so informative, thank you so much.

[@lifewithtashabae4846]

So when we share the template will Canva still make a copy so my original won't be edited?

@@lifewithtashabae4846 I Just tried and your client can make Changes without changing the original

[@maddiemalann]

Thankyou this information Is EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED regarding the legal info and pro vs free

[@alixghandour]

Thanks for the tips! I designed my own templates and implemented them into Canva to sell. It's good to know how the link will be shared as a template. I had originally thought they'd need to do something to make a copy after sharing the link but it seems like Canva does that for you.

[@AlissaRose]

Glad to help! Yes, if you have a PRO account you can just share the template link :) If you have a free account the customer needs to make a copy!

[@alixghandour]

@@AlissaRose I see, so you can still share the template on a free account, but they need to make a copy themselves.

[@DebbieBooth]

This was incredible. I wrote down your steps. So very helpful and so good. I have made several ebook patterns for my miniature dollhouse shop, but I didn't know any of this. Thank you so much. I just signed up for your other courses as well. Thank you!

[@kumaniricks6500]

Extremely helpful! Thank you .I tried to use over instead of canva because i think its easier to use but you can’t create editable templates . Really needed this .

[@denziioo]

This tutorial is so thorough and valuable! Makes me feel like I design stuff. But i might be taking way more time than the expert herself 😅

[@AlissaRose]

It takes practice, but start now :)

[@Sunnycheese]

LOVE LOVE this video! Thank you so much! Just a clarification while its paused; so if I have a pro acct and use a pro element/font, my customers will still have to pay for it?

[@truthbase_tv]

I’m a painter-artist exploring the digital realm, which is quite intimidating when you’ve spent years only working on canvas. So this is a great introduction the the platform and I’m discovering many useful overlaps. Thank you!

[@pratikladani6356]

If I have free canva account and i created template and when buyer do changes in that template then it affects mine too?

[@creatorsullivan502]

OMG! You are amazing! I watched the whole tutorial

[@lindawilmarth3300]

If I upload some florals I got from creative market, will the clients not be able to use it?

[@tintintwenty]

This is great info, thank you!!! If I understand correctly it's ok for us to use canva clip art and photos to create the templates, but what happens if I use graphics made outside of Canva? I assume they won't be able to edit those graphics, but will people be able to see/use them when they open the templates?

[@showyouhow3801]

How do you stop them from sharing your pdf and giving "friends" access to the template, or worse yet, sell your template on another site. Great Video!

I may make a video on this in the future. I'm currently meeting with a lawyer regarding infringements.

exactly my question. Wondering if there's any updates on this conversation.

[@evanthechong2167]

@@AlissaRose Alissa there is very little u can do about it. The hassle to copyright your product and file a lawsuit against people who stole your content just isnt worth it. It's just how the industry works, we all have to deal with it. I mean, the trouble we have to go through to take down our stolen content probably isn't going to be worth our time.

[@evanthechong2167]

Hey there, as i replied to Alissa, there is very little u can do about it. The hassle to copyright your product and file a lawsuit against people who stole your content just isn't worth it. It's just how the industry works, we all have to deal with it. Think about this, even if people didn't outright steal your image, those who are creative can just have one look at your design and completely remake it themselves, either way, someone who wants to steal your content WILL STEAL your content. And for US as small sellers, it's really not worth it to spend time and possibly money to track down these stolen content. It might not even be worth it to file a trademark and copyright our products . If this is your FULL TIME JOB, then it might be worth it, but if this is your side gig, my advice is just let it slide

[@laurenkil]

This actually inspired me to go on etsy and buy some canva templates because I am too lazy for this for my own business... 😂

@AlissaRose - thank you for this tutorial! I am creating a custom template to sell to others, and will supply most of the images myself. How do I know which Canva images I can use in my template? I know I cannot use third party content. How do you know the difference? And can you actually use existing images in Canva (for templates that you are selling). Thank you!

[@greenbeecannabissimplified6631]

I learned a tremendious amount of skills from this video and I started it at the 13 minute mark. I am a self taught skill builder, and I really appreciate everyone on the internet that posts videos where I can learn for free (school is expensive y'all). As someone who is very intentional about metacognition, I had an interesting reflection that I felt I had to share: Most the graphic design videos I am used to watching are from male content creators. I appreciate them greatly for their eager and readiness to post how to videos always, but the thing that I am noticing that grately differs from yours (there are plenty of similarities but I am trying to keep this shortish) is that the little details you would spend extra moments on to explain were exactly the kinds of details that I benefited greatly from being explained bc they were the little details that were not as commonly pointed out. In the videos I am used to watching, a lot of the little details explained feel like overexplained parts of the content, so I normally zone out, but in your video, I found myself correcting my assumptions again and again and backing up the video to watch a part again. This is a very long way to say I really appreciate this video you made three years ago and I hope you know that it being out there on the crazy web is still impacting people in more ways than you could know

[@AlissaRose]

Thank you for your feedback! I love that this video was helpful for you :) I always try to think about those small details that I know people need to understand so I’m glad it’s been impactful. Congrats on learning new skills and doing the damn thing! 🥰

You can lock elements and they won't change, but your client can "unlock them" if they wanted to change it.

@@AlissaRose Thank you for your response! That's good to know. I went through 10 videos about "sharing Cava file" but only one person talked about "publishing" before sharing it. She said that way the original won't be affected, and you don't have to tell them "please don't make changes! Make a copy!" but I wanted to hear from multiple people. If you could make a video about it, that would be great!
