Do you dream of building a profitable business using your creativity, but feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start?
You're not alone. I used to feel the same way, juggling a demanding career with the desire for more freedom and flexibility. But then I discovered the power of Canva...
Hey, I’m Nicole! I’m a designer, an introvert, and am obsessed with systems. Who says I can’t create and grow a business using Canva, all on a schedule that works for me?
My journey began when I learned you could make money as a blogger, so I started a food blog. My excitement and passion was quickly drained when I realized how time-consuming and finicky it was.
The experience, ignited a fire in me: the desire to build an online space I loved. That's where Canva comes in. I started seeing all these success stories about selling Canva templates and took the plunge.
Starting with the free version, I dove into Canva and was amazed at what I could do with it. I set up my Etsy shop in no time, but the real challenge? Understanding what products people actually wanted.
From product flops to a thriving shop
My first sale was a $3 productivity list – a cool idea in my head, but not what people were searching for. The first sale was a wake-up call. Scaling wouldn't work with low-ticket items, especially with Etsy fees.
But the feeling I had seeing that first sale come in on a Saturday morning while spending time with family? Pure magic. I was in.
That sale fueled my determination. I devoured SEO tutorials, learning how to design templates that solved real problems and ranked high in searches. Slowly, I built a system – spreadsheets for organization, templates for listings, and a pricing strategy that worked. My design background became my secret weapon, allowing me to create high-quality templates that stood out on Etsy.
The results?
My first "money-printer template" – a single template generating $1,000 per month! I was able to achieve this within four months of opening my Etsy shop. From there, I scaled my offerings, creating variations and leveraging the beauty of digital products – endless scalability. Now, I sell on my own website, reaching a wider audience and selling my digital products for up to 10x more than I could get on Etsy.
Just like me, you too can unlock the power of Canva to create high-end designs that your dream customers are already searching for online.
Remember, I was there – skeptical, overwhelmed. But with the right guidance, you can overcome these challenges and turn your creativity into a profitable business.
