a little about me:
I was a bartender for years and got laid of March 2020 due to the virus. I was struggling to pay my bills and decided to find other ways to make income while being in lockdown. I spent countless hours searching and finding what does and doesn't work. I now have multiple ecommerce stores while selling on various platforms. As a result of that I now have several streams of income that have made it possible for me to actually start living and no longer feel a financial burden. My channel was inspired by all of the help I received from other ecommerce entrepreneurs along my journey and hopefully my channel can help you do the same.

Hey, I was wondering when I was trying to put mine up and I think I was having problems with the size for my printable planner. And I saw you didn’t have to resize your’s or maybe you did and I wasn’t paying attention. But if you didn’t, does it matter?

[@taylor1649]

Great video! Something to keep in mind when pricing -- Charging $0.99 or an extremely low value in order to 'out-do' the competition sounds great, but Mak didn't discuss Etsy's fees associated with your sale. Say you sell it for $0.99, but Etsy takes $0.20 to list the item every time, plus about 7% for transactional, credit card, and other fees. You're left with about $0.72 profit. Then take off 30% for taxes which brings it down to about $0.50. Also subtract marketing fees you’ve spent to advertise. You’ll be left with pennies if not in the red after that. If that's good with you, keep rocking. Just don't forget to factor the platform fees in mind when pricing. Odds are, your competitors with the really low prices forgot about this as well.

I'm a year late, but for some reason, this just popped up on my feed. It autoplayed while I was doing something else, and upon listening, I realized there was something I missed during the first viewing. So, I watched it again to be sure. What was not mentioned was, if you use a template from any software, whether it's free or not, it's crucial to change at least 20% of it to avoid copyright infringement and theft. You can't simply use any template and upload it for sale without making modifications FIRST. You have to make it your own by changing it. The same rule applies to anything online. You might be able to get away with it temporarily, but eventually, you will be caught, as you should be for stealing. Some copyrights prevent any alterations whatsoever. Which means you need to change way more than only 20% of it.

[@hannybunnyyy]

Do you know by any chance, can I use for example photos of clothes from Zara,Mango etc online shops, but I wouldn 't be using just the photo I would implement it with many other in my outfit ideas. It would also bring them sales, but I don't know if it's ok or not.

[@moneywithmak]

Hi friends!! For everyone asking about copyright, you can resell art on Canva that is created by you- meaning you can’t just take a template or a pre-made image and resell it as is. I talked more about this in my recent video on digital downloads! I highly recommend that you check out the Canva copyright guidelines & do your proper research if you’re still unsure about it ! xoxo Don’t forgot to use the link in description to start Canva Pro FREE

[@radusa1989]

And yes is strongly recommended to have niche but still you can connect these in one shop. For example you want to target it to woman above 80kg who wants to be bad bitch or dreaming about glow up. So productivity and weight loss is connected in this way☺️your niche could be the ideal customer and all products to serve one ideal customer.

Hi! I want to start this today, but I live in Norway - so my question is, do I put down Norway and norwegian currency on both printful and Etsy, or do I put down USA and usd as currency to reach more potensial sellers? Thank you for your videos!

[@grazynawolska8160]

Norwegian. If you put usa you'll pay a conversion fee on top of other fees. Margins here are low since products are cheap so you want to keep that conversion fee money since you'll be paying like 50 cents to etsy in fees on every sale anyway. Why pay more? Also for usa you'd have to have american currency account to deposit money. I'm in Canada and were quasi-american so we can get American accounts no problem, but I still prefer to keep my currency in Canadian. Makes doing income tax easier too (yes, you have to pay income tax... so after fees, taxes exchange rates.... what you make is tiny). So in summary, your own currency is ideal. Hope this helps.

I have a question. When you choose Framed Wall Art to create your piece does it only print that size when they buy and download to print? Or do they get to customize the size they frame when they go to the store? May seem like a dumb question, but I want to make sure to get it right. I ask because I did a custom size piece wall art in 8x10 but then I watched your video and you clicked framed art and it is only one size available, so I didn't want the quality to be less by not choosing the framed art.

I have a teachers pay teachers account and you pretty much have to make the whole product yourself unless the images are copyright free/fair use. Do all images on CANVA just fit into that category?

If I send a canva template, it says they have to request access from me to be able to be an editor. What am I doing wrong?

[@amandalynne24]

yesss second that!!

[@williamlee7782]

I don't think you need an established company to get started but am unsure because I don't have an Etsy store. If it's anything like eBay, you can be selling as an individual. However, being that Etsy is more for Business to consumer transactions, I'd imagine that they may require a company during account formation mainly due to taxation. If you sell over a certain amount (I recall it being over $10,000USD???), Etsy may file/alert the US government and come tax time, you will have to file taxes. What type of company depends on your type of business, the risks associated in your product, and location. I'm no accountant but I believe an LLC would suffice for most sellers. Good luck

@@veronicavanleeuwen9342 thank you

[@kathrynlouise8667]

Great content Mak! Thanks for all you do. What if you have tons of your own photos? How would you use those to sell as digital downloads?

[@moneywithmak]

:) you can sell them as art prints! Just be sure to order a sample to check the quality !!

[@melissanichole8184]

This was seriously so helpful. Thank you so much! I will be coming back to this video time and time again, I'm sure of it!

[@LOFIZENPRENEURLOUNGE]

Thank you so much. Your video was very informative. I am literally going to start a digital download Etsy store this weekend. 🤩

[@FollowingJesus23]

How did it go?

[@EmmaJonYoureWelcome]

I am definitely excited to give this a go. It looks doable and you explained it so well x

[@johannelinderud6141]

hav you done it? If so, did u sell anything? xx

Well, a Month passed, any update...?

Did you try it? how much money did you make??

@@Mysteryboy0007 seems like all of those who commented are either bots or just friends of the creator, or the creator itself, commenting through different accounts.

[@joshlynshelton871]

Hey! Thank you so much for this. I made my Etsy shop then it got deactivated. I followed everything you did on canva. I tried to make it my own, but I guess they thought I was copying someone else’s work. Do you know what I can do to not let that happen again?

[@angelsmir]

I had the same exact problem! I'm currently figuring out how to fix it.

[@merunurgazy]

Amazing! Thank you very much for sharing such a valuable knowledge and a source of passive income. May God bless you and the best of luck to all your future endeavours!

[@aysquseinova]

Hey, I really love your videos. Could you please post a tutorial on how to get into affiliate marketing? Thank you!

[@moneywithmak]

Yes! Working on it :) it will be up in the next few weeks

[@nicoleoneal2973]

What a great video! Question about the art pieces-Did you draw that heart yourself? How do you find images that aren’t copyrighted?

[@Aeshin-kk1nv]

😂 I would also like to know, if people are just uploading and making money off of other peoples artwork in a different format. They could get sued 😅

[@sarahfoster3942]

I am having trouble downloading my canva into placeit?

[@datimmm]

Questions 1) Can anyone from any country do this? 2) Asides etsy, where else can I sell digital products? 3) How do factor etsy charges and other transaction fees to determine profit before hand? 4) Do I have to market my products on social media or Pinterest? 5) Can I get started with no income? If not what are the things I would be paying for? How much should I get ready to start?

[@seeker27.]

Do you know how to do a watermark ? Just wondering how some ppl do that because I go to etsy for certain papers and to be honest the ones that don't have watermarks I just screenshot it then print it out so I don't have to pay anything for it. But the ones that have watermarks over them I don't because of course I don't want something with watermarks all over the page. I hope you understand what I'm asking about LoL

[@lauramotyl4567]

This is so wrong. The hours, the concentration and dedication that illustrators have to put into this kind of work. You shouldn't be replicating and reprinting just to make passive income. Have some morals?

[@jaz_ofalltrades]

Definitely been looking into this and appreciate the video! I liked and subscribed🙂

[@KittiiNicole]

New subscriber here, thank you so much. I just lost my job a couple of days ago and I am thinking of trying this out. Best wishes and a wonderful future to you. :)

[@MuseSunflower]

How's it been going for you? ❤️❤️

[@wesdaaawg]

This is pretty clever, thanks for sharing. Definitely need to try this out. I’m curious though, how do you protect your digital intellectual property? For example, if someone purchases this form, what’s stopping them from uploading it on another site as their own?

[@siroccomask]

Nothing. Esty will protect you internally so other sellers will get taken down if they steal. However, other sites may not care or investigate this problem.

[@moneywithmak]

This could happen yes. That’s unfortunately a part of selling products online is there is always a possibility of having your work taken. If you’re very concerned I recommend having a watermark on your work in the listing photos & having a clear description that your work is not to be resold if purchased and it’s for personal use only !

[@moneywithmak]

This is correct ^ Etsy will remove any listing that’s a copy of your work on their platform as long as you can prove you own the work. (Usually goes by who’s listing was uploaded first)

@@moneywithmak but we take the art from canva so its not ours?

[@alliebiesen6271]

Hey girl! Thank you for all of your amazing content! It really inspired me to be my own boss. That being said, I followed all the steps in this video and within two days my Etsy account was suspended. There isn’t any way for me to ask them why either. How have you been avoiding this?

[@jeanschapar]

I have the exact same problem😩

[@blrughhhhhhhhh]

Pretty simple explanation. Because the artwork is an almost exact copy of what already exists in canva and selling it just isn't ethical when other people are really hand designing, making products on etsy. Etsy is meant to promote small businesses and not lazy people!

I love the way you say things with details!

[@lanaeasilva-dossantos4382]

Hi mak, love the video very interesting, plus great ideas! I have one question, for Canva and Placeit, there are monthly fees to these sites right, so basically it's not completely free to make these digital art prints for sale, we still need to spend money to use these sites, or is there a way to avoid paying for them that I'm not aware of???

[@lininacrowne1941]

there's a free version of Canva that has less options and images in it. could start there.

[@laurencastellano8824]

I am trying this for the first time and actually searched "mockup" in the Canva search and found an option that would be free. Obvs. I'll have to find more so that not every listing will have the same mockup photo, but still interesting.
