THANK YOU ❤❤
is there a hidden fee associated with this free offer, or will we be required to pay at some point? thanks, ms Kate for answering my inquiry. I would really love to learn and join your boot camp. thank you so much for the great help.
This is product selling gold! Thanks for the easy to understand process 😂😊 you blew it out of the park again Kate!
Aww yay, thank you friend! So glad to hear you found it helpful 🤗😄
Wow, teaching is your superpower. You don’t skip a beat. Genuine too! Thanx for the info on Wedding Invitations. Always wondered how that was accomplished. Think I’ll stay in my lane for now though.
Aww your words are too kind. Thank you friend and glad you found it helpful! 😊
Hey there! Did you earn from this?
What part of the process of selling digital products online is the most confusing to you? Comment below and let’s talk through it! 👇🏼👇🏼
What is legal to use on Canva to create and to sell as a Canva Pro user…
@@EricaLucasLovesThat can definitely be intimidating! Canva has two different licenses- one for free content and one for pro content. So it doesn’t depend on which plan you have but what types of content you use in your designs to sell. You can read both to see what each allows on their website! (*BTW disclaimer- I’m not a legal professional so this isn’t meant to be legal advice… just my understanding of it 😉)
I have a couple questions:
1. You create your digital product (link)
2. Then you have to create a PDF (Letter) to incorporate the link and introduce the product to the client - Can you use a template for this step?
3. And when you go to sell it on Etsy, again you have to create another file, or just a mock-up?
If you could please clarify :)
@@loritastoimenova9999 for the PDF deliverable, I would create your own instead of using a template since it technically is being used for commercial purposes. Then when you get ready to list it on Etsy, all you’ll need to actually *create* for this step are the mock-ups/images for your listing. The rest is just filling out the info when you click to add a new listing on Etsy. Hopefully that helps clarify!
@@KateHayes Thank you :)
Great insight on the potential of Canva templates as a revenue stream! 🌟 To boost sales, consider tailoring your designs to seasonal trends and current events, which can help your templates stay relevant and in-demand.
Super helpful!! Your gift is teaching... you do an AMAZING job!👏👏 Thanks again! 🥰
Thank you friend. Glad it helped!
I saw a lot of Canva tutorials but this this is the best!!!!
Thank you!
Girl! You knocked it out the park with this tutorial! This is god!! I feel like I have superpowers now! Thank you thank thank you! 😅😅😅😅
Aww thanks friend, you are too kind! So glad it was helpful for you!! :)
You are an epically good trainer! Great video.
Thank you friend!
Awesome video!! You are a great teacher!!
Thank you so much for the kind words, friend! That means the world 🥰
Thanks!
Aww thank YOU friend! 🥰
This video was so helpful! I’m just starting out and wedding invites is what I would like to start with! You answered all my questions and made it very easy to follow along! Thank you! 👏🏼
So glad to hear that! 😊
Can you share about how it is going till now??? I'm nervous but I want to start but I want someone who's realistic to tell me how they are doing who's new in this field just like me
The Lord God truly has blessed you to BE a blessing. Thank you for allowing Him to use you through this channel 🙌🏾
💛💛💛
This really helped alot! Thank you for sharing this information!
You’re welcome!
Best tuturial. simple and clear. you rock it.
Thank you friend!
Thank you. This is the best thorough video I have watched on RUclips regarding making a template on Canva. 😊
You’re welcome…We appreciate the kind words! 😊
Another fantastic video from our friend Kate and I appreciate all your videos and the help you provide. Obviously based on Etsy there's a lot of people planning to get married. Even though I am not married myself it wouldn't stop me from making money from those who are planning to get married. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Kate & ❤️ Nick.
Definitely!! Super smart to create products based on demand!
Rich content right there, Kate.
I do want to start creating digital products as a business, starting with templates and Ebooks. I use Canva on a daily basis in my elementary tech teaching profession, which makes it a best fit for me.
Thanks! That’s awesome - cheering you on friend! 👍🏻👍🏻
Now I want to teach and create digital products, thanks for the video.
So glad to hear that! Cheering you on friend!
Hi Kate, could you please go into further detail on what happens after a customer purchases the digital download. They buy, they edit and then is it our responsibility to include on a mockup card what type of file they need to download it in, what type of printer is best printing(inkjet or laser), to specify that an envelope is not provided?
Great questions! The only thing they are purchasing from you is the template so it’s up to them what they do with it from there but it’s always helpful to be specific (in the listing description and images) what is included in the template, recommended options for printing their final file if needed, etc. The buyer will definitely appreciate more info than less!
Thanks for sharing, I wanted to start selling wedding invitations and needed help, you are a great help
So glad!! Cheering you on, friend!
Thanks for the video. Clear and concise.
You’re welcome!
Thank you for the Video. All details are very precise and easy to follow. 💖💖💖💖
You’re so welcome! Glad this was helpful for you!
thank you so glad to have found your channel. Making my template this month, need to do some research on what I plan to offer. I see no steps missed wish more creators would provide how to do the deliverable.
You’re welcome friend!
Very informative, awesome video.
Thanks friend! Glad you found it helpful! :)
Wow! Lots of great information and advice. Thanks Kate! One issue I see with this is that, I would think, the template itself should have a transparent background as well, so they can put it on any color of invitation paper they want. Otherwise, the background would always be white (or whatever color they may change it to). But, they would also have to have a Canva Pro account so they can save their copy of the template with a transparent background as well. Is that correct?
Great video! The only thing I find difficult is to create these digital products with zero graphic design experience. It might be difficult to stand out as there are probably a lot of skilled sellers on etsy.
I totally get that- it can be really intimidating. Definitely take a few minutes and watch my free masterclass (linked in description)- it addresses this!!
Thank you for the video. Details are very precise and easy to follow.
You’re welcome!
Thanks, Kate. Great tutorial and tips, well presented. It really looks like something I could do and make it my own. 💖
So glad this was helpful! Cheering you on friend! 😊
Great step by step video, super helpful!
You’re welcome!
Amazing - Thank you! :)
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the step by step tutorial. I’d like to know a little more about mock ups? Just to be sure there aren’t any legal implications by using for commertial purposes
My english isn't that good and my 41 yo brain is slow now but you made it so easy to understand, step by step. Thank you so much for sharing !
So glad to be a help! 💛
Great information, please note that to be able to filter between FREE&PRO elements you must have Canva pro. That filter will not show up on a free account.
If it’s not showing up for you, you can totally just look through taking note of which ones have the crown symbol and which ones don’t :)
No problem there is a yt? Channel @xgrow911 he has shown a trick of free canva pro
Your a lifesaver
Happy to help!!
FYI. ETSY needs to have a credit card before you post your first product. - they have free but needs to have your credit card first , then needs to pay( if you want ) after free subscription
Great tutorial. Thanks 😊
You’re welcome!
I’m glad I found your video. I have a question: Do I need to make any payment when creating an Etsy account or uploading items? Are there any fees involved? If possible, could you make a video about the buying process and how we receive money when others purchase our templates?
Commerce! That would have been a good C item
Haha yes!! Great thought!
I love your videos! So helpful and informative
Thank you!
Thank you for the video. God bless you.👍
Of course! Thank you for watching! 🥰
Very enjoyable and informative video.🦋🦋🦋
Thank you!
I like the video 👍🏽 and here is my comment. Thank you!
Appreciate it!
Commercialize instead of list for #3 lol hugs, Naomi
Thanks for sharing ❤❤
You’re welcome!
thank you for sharing, its learn a lots, lets try learn and earn.
Very welcome, friend! Cheering you on!
Kate what are the other sites which are free instead of etsy on which i could sell like this?
This really helps thanks so much!
You’re so welcome, friend!
Hi Kate, appreciate tons for your efforts in making these videos💌 We learn a lot! May I know if 'Elements' and 'Fonts' are the only two things we need to make sure it's FREE version for buyers? For example, can we utilise 'Magic Media' (only accessible for Canva Pro) in our designs for selling? Because I'm looking to start this digital product business, but am torn whether to use a Pro account. What if there things in my design process where the buyers can't access?
You wanna use canvas free designs when you’re creating templates for customers to edit. Otherwise they’ll need a pro account to access your templates that have any pro designs in it.
thanks so much for sharing.
You’re so welcome! 😊
Great video! I have Canva Pro but I'm wondering if its worth it since you have to use the free version to sell products.
You can definitely use pro elements for other types of products (like final instant download files), just better not to on templates. You also get several features and tools with Canva Pro that you don’t get on the free plan which is why I love it!
Hi Kate, I have a question. What software did you use to blur out some of the background in the video that you dint want shown?
May I know how did you recorded your video with smooth talking without pausing? Did you read thru script or you did in point form? I tried talking on video without a script, I always stammer
Hope you could guide me
It takes practice but no one is perfect! I film with a script and pauses - that’s where editing comes in. 😉 cheering you on!
Great video! I do have one question tho, how do the customers get their card in hand?
Hi!! Very helpful! Curious how the payment part works though from the buyer?? Thanks so much.
Hi kate u r so gud can u make a detail video how we paste temple nd wher🎉
Really helpful content
Awesome, glad it helped!
Thank you po. Great tutorial
God bless.
Anws, you belong to a Baptist church, too?
Hi thank you for the awesome video. I have just one question, whats makes Sale samurai better that other keyword research etsy tools? I just get confused with all them and what use. Thank you
God bless you 🙏
💛😄
Feeling like you can’t use Canva pro graphics on templates can be really frustrating, since the pro graphics are often nicer.
I definitely get that! You can include pro graphics on other types of digital products like printables, just better not to on templates unfortunately.
Can we use elements/images from outside canva? Cusromer can see it?
Thank you! I took tons of notes.
Awesome! Glad it helped!
What about the envelope? Would you have to clearly state that the envelopes are not included?
how much can i put on the quantity section of the template? I mean, is a digital product, and i have no idea how much i can put.
I cannot find a planner mockup that says commercial use. 😢
Do you need to be sign in Creative Fabrica to get mockup?
I love this! But if the customer can go into canva and editing the invitation or the order they get why they don't go in canva and just make their own design use it for their wedding? What make them buy one?
Simple: some people don't have the time and are willing to spend a few bucks instead of wasting valuable time
Orr it's just that people are too lazy to do it themselves and rather spend money
Thank You! This is excellent!
Thanks friend! Happy to help!
Thanks for the info... This is great content.
I do have a question though, You said that you cannot use any "Pro" Canva clipart... Can you create a Pdf from Pro that cannot be edited? Like what if the only editable content is the verbiage and not the clipart or photo. Can I add my own photos and Photoshop pdf work for the background?
TYIA
Hey! i make my own elements, do i just put it on a template? what i mean is i create a template only using the elements that i created.
Yes you can do this. :)
Thanks so much for this video! You explain things so well.
You are so welcome! Thank you for saying that- I’m glad to be a help! 💛
how you can sell your whatever design template , where you can publish it and lis it as a product for selling.
Thank you for the content! It’s so helpful.
I have a question. If I cancel Canva pro after the first month, will the customer who purchase after that be able to get the link and download the template?
You can generate the template link even on the free account so as long as you at least have a free account, they’ll be able to access the template.
@@KateHayes How about the resolution? If I don’t use Canva pro to create work. Will the customer be able to download the high resolution?
How would you be able to send news later and freebies??
Thanks! 🙏💖
Sure thing friend!! 👍🏻
How do these digital creators compile bulk designs of 300+? are they bulk designing in canva (which i do not feel it works well with every style/type)? thanks.
I been looking for side gig since I love editing I fortunately landed here, I want to give this a try. I am just confuse about the etsy does buyer will be the one to print after they download or you as seller can partner with printing company as well? Hope you have a video for this. Thank you
You can do either! For the types of templates this video is covering most of the time buyers will print it out themselves.
Quick question: if I am using Canva pro and the buyer already has canva pro as well, do they still need to pay to remove the watermark or no?
No if they have Canva pro, they will have access to any pro elements on a template. Most customers will not have a pro account though
Great work Kate. Just got a new subcription from me 😊
Woohoo!! So great to connect with you, friend! 🤗
I thought if you are paying for pro on canva that you could use the grafics and publish and that no watermark shows up?
thank you for this video ❤
Hello Kate, just wondering if you can help me! I am making a bingo with images using canva. I know canva has a bingo generator but with words and numbers, not sure how to make my bingo with the images that I created, to distribute them ramdomly, do I have to do it manually? thanks
Great video.
I just find your channel and I love it.
I have a question I don't have the canva pro just the free version and when I send the pdf there is no link on the file do I need to have the pro version for the link to unlock ?
Hey friend, no you should still be able to embed links. Be sure that you’re not clicking “flatten PDF” when you download
@@KateHayes Thank you I had put my collaboration link to private I think that fix it .
hello! so im having a problem with the template link. I’ve published my listing and used your steps. I told my mom if she could purchase my listing so i could see in the customers pov. She purchased and downloaded the pdf, but when she changed some stuff around, it also changed the whole entire template including the one i have listed. Is there something you think that i could have done wrong?
Hey there, sorry you’re having trouble! Make sure your sharing the link that specifically says “template link” - that way your customers will get their own copy without the original being changed
It's very easy for me because I am using canva pro for free
Awesome! Yes, Canva is so user friendly and their free plan offers so much!
How ?
What if i wanted to insert a background photo from google and used the elements from canva, can i stell sell them after ?
Can u use your own arts on canva like your own painting?
Yes if you have a digital version you can upload!
My Filter doesn't show free/pro option. Has Canva changed it after this video?
If there's no option for free or pro , then you have the free option . Just make sure that you don't use any elements that have a crown on it
I don't have the option to select the free only
Is this like Corjl but free? I want to start selling editable templates on Etsy but I don’t want to pay the fee that cordial has. Thank you for mentioning that we should only be using three elements and texts.
Corjl is another popular tool but my fav is Canva! You can do everything you need on the free Canva plan or choose to upgrade and pay for pro (extra features and content but not necessary). You can definitely use more than three graphics/elements on your template design but as far as fonts go, I’d keep it to three or under so it stays cohesive! :)
Thanks
No problem!
After creating a template how do i sell it and make money/ get paid
You can sell them on platforms like Etsy, Shopify, and Creative Market :)
Hi Kate I have a question!
Bought a graphics pack for canva
The png files half of them are uploading but half won’t and says it’s the wrong format or the file is corrupted.
Both files look and open the same out of canva!
Any help would be great as in new to this
Thanks :)
Sorry friend! Sounds like you may need to reach out to the seller you bought the graphics from!
Thanks for the reply! I do have one more question, Can you use Canva free and pro graphics on finished digital products to sell? Or do they have to be Canva templates if you use graphics off Canva? Was a bit confused reading there terms
Thanks :)
Can we download Canva
You can use the desktop app, web version, or mobile app!
But isn't wedding niche so saturated?
Any niche we look at can be considered saturated! It’s about making myself stand out against the rest! Making competitive prices, seeing what everyone is doing and then leveling up what I have to offer! I’m not saying copy or imitate! Even the biggest companies in the world get inspiration! Baddie in business breaks all this down and then some! ❤
What if the customer doesn’t have Canva?
They should be able to easily sign up for a free account :)
Sooooo i did everything shown in the video....created a beautiful design then a beautiful pdf then many beautiful mockups then uploaded everything only to find out etsy doesnt have my country for payments!! 😑😑😑😑
feel so stupid!!
Oh no!! I’m so sorry friend! Have you checked out Shopify?
😢Etsy is not free anymore. Right?
Etsy is technically free, until you create a listing and make a sale. You have to pay certain fees and that has always been the case!
@@KateHayes ok thank you. There is a $15 dollar one time charge now it started saying.
Nepali can do it?
Kate etsy is not free plz tell us free resources
