[@katieyeri1831]

this is literally the kind of tip i was looking for when i got interested on selling digital products! i cant believe that people actually want to help others without having to pay for a course for those who are clueless abt these things. kudos! new subscriber here :)

[@katieyeri1831]

also, i have a question. there are tiktok videos that is going around my fyp showing how a paid course helped people sell digital products, but it seems more like a marketing strategy. the course offers tips for beginners, free templates, and a website. as a student, i'm interested in making and selling canva templates but can't afford the course. your video made me realize free resources like yours might be enough. should i still pay for the course, or would it be a waste of money since i can learn online for free?

[@DinaLu]

I'm so happy to hear you're finding my free content useful! (Full transparency I do have a course now haha, an Etsy listing photos course: dinalu.store/etsy-listing-photos-course) Paid courses can be REALLY great. I've bought several courses in the past and for the most part they've been amazing. I don't really use Tiktok so I haven't seen those courses on selling digital products... but they CAN be great, or maybe not. Free content is great but a lot of the times it's not STRUCTURED like a paid course. Of course you can definitely watch free content forever and still make money from it. With a paid course, in the best case scenario you'd get a shortcut to making money because it saves you time to learn all the things. Some paid courses can be a good investment, but I'd do due diligence on the creator and see if you really trust them / if the course is really a fit for what you're trying to do. So... it depends!

[@aelyahart]

hello i need help please, thanks to this video I just found out I was using the wrong links since the beginning, but when I tried to use one of my templates with my other Canva acc, it created a copy, so should I redo all my listings with the right links "template links" or it works also that way. In ly countrie the translation is xrong for "template links" on Canva website so that's why I did this mistake, it's so annoying ...

[@rastasavage8825]

How to create a ready to use png template link? So the customer can just click and ready to use.

[@ethnica2622]

Dina thank you so much! What if I upload my own elements (I have a pro account), could the customer with free account see and edit them in the template?

[@DinaLu]

If you upload your own elements (like photos), I don't think that's considered "pro" content. At least for photos. But I'm not sure about other elements, like fonts or graphics. If you use actual Pro elements, the customer can see it in Canva but when they go to publish it (as a PDF, website, PNG, JPEG, etc), they'll need to pay. To be safe, I'd make another Canva account (a free account) and test it out when you share the template link

[@annaspeaks373]

Happy New Year 🥳 Just came to say that and watched the whole video😅

Happy to help!

[@keyboardwarrior6661]

The title made me expect the video to be more about the selling part of things than the creating part, like marketing, SEO, and such. I've been watching your videos for a while and in your last few months you had a huge increase in sales, you clearly made some changes that helped you gain those sales. Could you please make a video about it? You inspired me to start with Etsy a few months ago and I've been able to make consistent sales, but I haven't reached my goal yet. You figured out something that could help all of us. Pleeeaaaaseeeee tell us more.🙏

[@DinaLu]

Thank you so much! 💕 And yes, I realize the video could have covered a lot more. I'll make a note to cover those in another video. And thanks for the video suggestion!

[@naille_2951]

Hiii I have a question I’ve been really wanting to start selling digital invitations templates. I am in school for graphic designs. my question is what is your opinion on making designs or background on adobe illustrator then transferring it to Canva so it could be easier for them to edit?

[@DinaLu]

If they're vector files, that could work. But it depends on the overall niche.

[@travelsound9436]

Hi Thank you for the video, very useful. I am planning to start soon. I wonder if I upload a Digital product without any review in the beginning, Do someone tend to buy it? any recommendations pls? Because even it is a niche item, there are products on Etsy.

[@DinaLu]

You may or may not get sales, it depends on a lot of factors like how much competition it is, how niche it is, how good your listing photos are, how good your product is etc etc. Good luck!

[@hind7510]

Thank you , it was very helpful

[@DinaLu]

Glad it helped!

[@savannahreboutique8235]

Great video information, Thank you! But I completed the steps to receive the download checklist and did not receive it. I checked my inbox & spam days later as Dina advised & only reconciliation was told was sent. Sad

[@debbieroehn5895]

Do you create your pdf in the same project as your template WHERE DO YOU STORE YOUR THANK YOU PDF'S, IN A FOLDER

[@DinaLu]

I organize everything in folders on canva!

[@HunterRoseDesigns-kw4xi]

This video was so helpful! Thank you. I am still having an issue.Etsy purchasers seem to be able to edit my original files. Since they have access to change my template, this makes it unsellable to someone else. Please note: when I go to get the template link, I don’t click “copy link”, I select “template link” like shown in your video. What am I doing wrong?

[@DinaLu]

If you're selecting "template link" that should be the right one. Have you tried opening that template link yourself using another Canva account / or on incognito and see if it works? Your customers shouldn't be able to edit the original copy.

[@debbieroehn5895]

When I click the link on my thank you PDF it opens up canva but all of my listing photos and description pages are all there. i feel like i'm skipping a step. should the template be the only page when I make the template link ..am I making sense

[@DinaLu]

Yes the template should be the only thing that your customer gets access to!

[@user-jo7ii9fh9x]

Thanku so much sista Its really helping me and i am earing 1k pr month. Love from India❤❤

[@DinaLu]

My pleasure 😊

[@musicstation8878]

Hi, I'm a new subscriber. I watched your other video you used two paper sizes (US letter and A4) in one template for one listing. How did you do it? hope you notice this. Thanks 😊😊

[@DinaLu]

So when you want to give out two Canva templates in one listing, just add both the template links into the one PDF! For the design part, I just copy pasted from the letter size paper to the A4 paper, and just adjusted the spacing

[@DesignMyWebWorld]

Great points explained, Thanks for sharing, Can you also share how to get sales organically

[@DinaLu]

Glad you found it helpful!!

[@rebeccaajao5146]

Hi Dina, thank you so much for this video. I started my registration process on Etsy but I've been stuck at "How you'll get paid". Do you have any idea on how I can move past that or on why I'm stuck?

[@DinaLu]

You'll have to connect your bank account to the Etsy account!

[@rebeccaajao5146]

@@DinaLu thank you so much for your response. I already entered my bank information and it is saved already but I can't seem to continue to the next step. How do I go about connecting my bank details to my Etsy account?

[@gretajociene51]

What is the size of your bundle? Just quickly scrolled etsy and was surprised how many people offer mega bundles with 1000+ templates

[@DinaLu]

I don't have any bundles 🤣 only single products. My single products are 1-20 pages.

[@SthuthiPuranik]

I love the video, however I'm just confused on one thing, do I have to make a one page template or a whole bundle if I'm looking to sell them?

[@DinaLu]

That's up to you! You can make one template or you can sell a bundle. I typically only sell one template per listing.

[@SthuthiPuranik]

@@DinaLu Thank you!! I was so confused

[@imcassb]

I’m interested in doing this, but I’m wondering what makes people come to Etsy for Canva templates when Canva already has their own templates? How does that make for a successful business?

[@DinaLu]

Yes, canva has their own templates, but a lot of the times they're just very general, or they aren't the perfect template for certain situations

[@uroojfatemah9563]

Hi Dina. Hope you are doing amazing. I found out about Digital marketing a week ago. And I have gained enough knowledge there is to know through your videos. Thank you so much for giving all this information. Also, Please make a video on "etsy pricing strategy". I am confused about how to price our digital products ? Should we start with low pricing like $2 or $5 or is it okay if the pricing is $20? Thank you!

[@DinaLu]

You're welcome! And thanks for the suggestion!

[@Adiyba51]

Hi Dina, how do I upload the template link to the folder after I copy it?

[@DinaLu]

Could you clarify.. what folder? I'm not sure I understand the question

[@Adiyba51]

After I make my product and copy the template link how do I put it in a folder on canva to have access to it

Could you email me at [e-mail] and I can check for you?

[@LorisAyoub]

Hi I did a template, and listed on etsy. My mistake was that I did it on presentation file (16:4) is this a problem? Is there a way to fix it? I know it can print ok, but wont fit to page perfectly

[@DinaLu]

You mean the listing photos? Or the actual product? I'm not sure I understand

[@LorisAyoub]

The actual product

[@DinaLu]

@@LorisAyoub you can definitely revise the product and relink it to your Etsy listing but I think maybe I'm not understanding the question correctly still?

[@LorisAyoub]

It's a cleaning template in a presentation format (16:4) it can be printed but looks a bit smaller. It should have been a document I think. Thanks for replying.

[@its.aesthetic3]

can I have 2 niche? I want to create cook book and weekly planner😅

Hmmm, if your weekly planner is related to food, I'd say that would work. Or else I'd probably separate those in to 2 shops.

[@krystaltalkz]

Hello! I LOVE your videos. However I have a question, can you do a video on if we need a business license to start selling on Etsy in Canada? I was doing some research but quite find the answer I was looking for.

[@DinaLu]

I'm not an accountant / lawyer, but I believe it depends if you want to stay a sole proprietor or you want to have a corporation. If you want to have a corporation, you definitely need to register the business. For sole proprietorship, it depends on several factors. I would speak to an accountant if possible! Small Business BC and other provinces' business centers also have great , free information.

[@OfficalLigz]

Hi Dina, you say 5K in revenue but that's not profit. So subtracting your listing fees and ad fees and considering the time and effort of uploading plus customer care, not to mention the time it takes to create the digital product itself, Is it really profitable as a stand alone revenue stream? Or is it merely a profitable niche to make content about to upload to your KZbin channel where you can add affiliate links and make actual profit that way? absolutely not meaning any shade, I'm just curious about the overall business plan so that I can have a better idea of what to do myself.

[@DinaLu]

You're correct that it's not profit. It's revenue that I'm stating. As a standalone revenue stream, it could be profitable, but it depends on a lot of factors, like how much time you spend on it, the niche you pick. For me it's definitely not a full-time income, but also I haven't spent as much time as I would have wanted to. And I also don't like the idea of relying on an online marketplace like Etsy to be my full-time income, it's very risky, so that's why I don't spend that much time on it and invest my time on other things like my KZbin channel. If you're wanting to sell digital products, there are other ways to sell that are not etsy. I have a video called "before you start an Etsy shop, consider these alternatives" that you might find helpful! Thanks for watching and supporting!

[@klarashah6618]

I have a question. If I sell my templates on Etsy, but I stop paying for Canva Pro and my account will be regular - will people buying my template still be able to personalize their template still, if their template includes pro designs or features?

[@DinaLu]

If you had pro elements in the templates for your customers, and they used your template link to access the canva template, they will need a pro subscription or pay for the pro elements individually, regardless of whether or not you have a canva pro subscription. Whoever uses the pro elements in their own canva account will need to pay for pro

[@anissamurdaugh4243]

@@DinaLu Could you do both the Pro Elements and Basic and list it as different options or is it not worth the hassle?

On Etsy now, if you want to create a new shop you have to pay first. And if you post goods you also have to pay. What is your opinion?

[@DinaLu]

I actually didn't know about this until I saw your comment, and I just searched it up. So thanks! I can't comment on whether or not this will be good or bad for Etsy/new sellers/current sellers, but I do think the $15 fee is still pretty low cost for getting started on Etsy.
