Hello, everyone, and welcome back to my channel, Jennifer
Marie, where I teach you different ways that you can
make money online working from home. So I want to say thank
you to all of you for your support the past few weeks, I
had surgery on my throat and I wasn't able to speak. And as
you can tell, I'm getting my voice back as slowly but
surely. So one of the things I love about working online is
that there are many different passive income opportunities.
And for the past few weeks, I wasn't able to do any work,
but I was earning an income. I was earning an income from a
YouTube videos from the ad revenue, but also passive
income from Etsy. And what Etsy is, is a platform where
you can sell both physical products and digital products,
I have a playlist of different Etsy tutorials that I will
link you to in the description below this video. But in
today's video, I want to talk to you about how you can
create your own digital printables. To sell on Etsy,
I'm going to give you ideas of what kind of printables you
can create and sell on Etsy. We're going to go on Etsy and
look at some examples of successful printables and
successful shops. And I'm also going to teach you step by
step how to create a printable that is ready for you to
upload on Etsy. And so now we're going to be using Canva.
To create this printable, and Canva is 100%. Free, I've
linked you to my referral link in the description below if
you want to sign up, and I'm going to teach you step by
step how to create this as an example. This is just an
example. So use this as inspiration. But what this is,
is it's a bachelorette game for a bachelorette party. And
I cannot believe how many people are selling printables
like this for $5. And it's just one piece of paper. And
there's aren't even pretty like this one. So if you
create something that's even more beautiful than what you
find on Etsy and sell it for less money, you're sure to get
some sales. So I'm going to show you how to create this
design this how to put a watermark on it so people
can't steal your worksheets. And I'm hoping that this video
will give you some inspiration for starting your own Etsy
shop. So before we get started, make sure to like
this video, subscribe for more tutorials on how to make money
online. And let's get started. So first of all I want to show
you this is my Etsy playlist and I've linked you to this
playlist in the description below this video, I have a few
different tutorials on how to get started setting up an Etsy
shop and also how to create Etsy listing photos for free.
So make sure to check out this if you want more tutorials on
how to use Etsy. I also want to show you some proof that I
actually have earned money on Etsy. So I'm not just telling
you about an idea that you could do, I'm telling you that
I have done it and I have made money on Etsy. So I have
earned almost 14,000 US dollars on Etsy, you can see
that I've had 3550 different sales. So this is within the
past five years. And I have 15 Different printables that I
put up five years ago, and I've done nothing ever since.
So I literally don't do anything, I just respond to
messages, if someone has troubles accessing their file
or downloading their file. And aside from that, I don't do
anything. This is actually something this year I want to
do more of because I think I could make much more money if
I uploaded more printables. And now let's talk about what
kind of printable ideas are out there. So if you go on
Etsy, and you type in digital printables, you can see there
are millions of results. And you might say, Well, how am I
supposed to compete with these people? Well, you can compete
with them. In my niche, there are other people selling the
same product. And I'm making money. Because when people are
looking sometimes they get really specific about what
they're looking for, let's say single female wall art, for
example. And you can see that narrows it down a bit. Or
maybe inspirational quotes wall art for single women, for
example, that really narrows it down to 199 results. So
depending on what people are putting here with their
keywords, you can get all sorts of different options
that they will browse through and decide which one that they
want to purchase. So what I decided I want to show you how
to create today is I have a friend of mine who's getting
married. And I was shown a printable from Etsy on
bachelorette party games, and bachelorette parties.
Basically before a woman gets married, her friends will have
a party for her and they'll play all sorts of silly little
games. Now you can have clean bachelorette party games,
which is something you can sell or there's more you know
dirty party games where they make dirty jokes and whatnot.
So if I type in clean bachelorette party games, you
can see this on eight clean bachelorette party games to
click on that this person is selling eight different games
I love her thumbnail it shows you exactly what you're
getting. This is so easy to create. And she's charging
I've guessed that's $10 for this and you can see how many
sales she has over 6000 sales. It's just a digital download
romantic movies emoji game get So romantic movies written
with emojis like look at this. She also includes the answer
key. And this is so easy to create. And you might say,
Well, why don't these people just create them themselves
rather than purchasing it? Well, for one person $10 is a
lot of money. But for a person who makes $100,000 a year $10
is nothing and their time is worth more than that. And so
they would rather spend $10 and have eight different games
ready for them for their party, then sit there and
spend an hour or two hours creating their own printables.
And sometimes you don't even have to upload a bundle. This
person just has one page and she's selling this for $2.
This one, dirty emoji Pictionary. This one is super
popular. She's selling it for $5 Old Time dirty sayings is
basically old expressions in the past that were
inappropriate and what they mean now and it's a silly
party game, she includes the answers. And look how many
people have purchased this and have all these excellent
reviews. So this is a great niche to get into bachelor
parties, bachelorette parties, baby showers, wedding showers,
and I'm going to show you exactly how you can create a
printable like this completely for free. So let's get
started. Okay, so now we're going to create a printable
that we can sell on Etsy, the first thing we're going to do
is go to Canva. Canva is completely free to use and to
download, you don't have to pay anything. If you want to
sign up to Canva, just click on the link in the description
below this video. And you can use my referral link. So we're
going to go to create a design. And we're going to go
to custom size. So the first thing we're going to do is
change this to inches, and then put 8.5 for the width and
11 inches for the height because that's the standard
paper size, and then click Create new design. Okay, so
we're going to make a much more beautiful version of
this. So this is someone's bridal shower game, he said,
she said, basically, this is a bridal shower game, all the
guests have to guess what the bride says if the bride says
who was a better driver, her or the group. So the first
thing we're going to do is click here on text. Let's
click add a heading. We're going to type in, let's say
bachelorette games, maybe you would want to do he said she
said triple click to highlight everything. And we're going to
use this font here. Stoic I think it is Yep, stoic. To
adjust the font size, you can just click and drag on this
handle or adjust it by going up and down here. To zoom up
on your document, you can just slide this down here. That
way, it'll be easier for us to see. Next thing we're going to
do is add a line, I'm going to click on elements, type in
line, click here on line. And we're going to make a
separation line up at the top here, you just click and drag
to make the line longer. And then I'm going to click on
this box here to change the line color. And let's make it
a blue color. And then we can click here and want to make it
with these little points. And then you can choose how thick
you want it to be. And then actually going to click on the
text, right click Bring to front. Now I want to add a
little graphic, let's type in rings or wedding or whatever
this graphic is free. All of these graphics are free except
for the ones that say Pro. So just click on the graphic to
add it to your document. And then we can adjust the size,
we can even change the color to just click on the box to
change whatever color you want. And then you can just
adjust the size of the elements. So let's say I want
to do something like this bachelorette game. Now we're
ready to add our text. We'll go over here to text click Add
a little body of text. You can choose whatever font you want.
And we're going to add the questions to our game. So for
example, who picks the worst movies, and then you can even
bold in some of it if you want.
What we're going to do is go back to elements and type in
numbers. And you don't have to do this, you could just say
you know one dot who picks the worst movies. But if you want
to make it prettier, and more pleasing to the eye, let's add
some graphics. Because this person for example, no, they
don't have any numbers. It's kind of basic. So here under
graphics, click see all. And you could choose any number
style that you like, I chose this one here, and we can
change the color. Let's make it match our document, and
then just click and drag to make it smaller. Now what we
can do is click and drag. So we highlight both of these so
we can move them at the same time. So we move it over a
little bit. And now we want to add in the male or female
symbol. So let's go male symbol, something to represent
the groom and the bride that they can circle. So let's say
we do that And then the female symbol. Now this, of course,
would only work if it was a bride and a groom. And
obviously, you know, in marriages, it could be two
grooms or two brides. So, actually making sure that you
have a document or multiple documents that represent all
types of couples is great. So let's say it is two grooms,
maybe you'd have to to grooms like this, and then you would
change the color of one. And then they could decide, okay,
the orange groom is Steve and the blue groom is Chad or
something like that. And when he offer multiple options like
this, it's a great way to get more sales as well, because
there are many different types of people who are getting
married. So that's just what you can do. In this case,
we're just going to do the bride and the groom. And then
now we would click in drag to highlight all of this Ctrl C
to copy Ctrl V to paste. And we're going to put in our next
question, just come up with any questions that you think
are fun or funny, of course, you don't want to just copy
everyone else, you want to come up with something
original. And then for the numbers, you're gonna have to
erase this by clicking Delete, and then typing in numbers.
And this is part is a little tedious, because you'll have
to go through and find all the different numbers yourself.
But then you can use this same template to make other
principles as well. So the most difficult principle you
make will be the first one. So again, you'll just keep going
through copying and pasting and doing all of that with all
your different questions. And then at the bottom, maybe you
want to put a final score or something. So what I'm going
to do is copy, I'm gonna click and drag on the first title
and the line Ctrl C to copy, go down here, Ctrl V to paste,
and then maybe I put something like the final score, so you
can see who's going to be the winner of the game. And then
you could put, let's say, a circle, out of nine, for
example, or however many questions it is. And you could
do something like that. So your end result would be
something like this bachelorette games, and you
can see all the different questions. And you've
basically this would be a party game that people can
circle, whether it's the male or the female, the bride or
the groom, who picks the worst movies or makes the first
move, I think mine looks much more professional than this
one does, just the font and everything else. And so what
you would also can add to even increase your chances of
getting more sales, is you're going to click here on Add
Page. And what we're going to do is this right here would
cover one entire sheet of paper. And if someone wanted
to save on paper and not print off, you know, 15 different
pieces of paper, especially if this is a party game, and
there's lots of different people at the party is split
the paper into four sections. So how we can do this is
scroll down to the page two, and then go to elements and
click here on lines and shapes. Or you can type in
rectangle, and click add a shape. And we're gonna go like
this, and basically try to, there we go. Make it so it
fills a quarter of the page. Then here, under border style,
we're going to add a border. So let's say we've got a black
border or a blue border or whatever, and then click on
the blue icon and just choose no background. So we've got
this here, and we're going to go Ctrl C to copy it Ctrl V to
paste, and we're just going to paste it like this, keep
copying and pasting it so it fills the entire page. And
then we can copy this four times down here. So to do
that, we're going to click over on the side and highlight
everything on the page. Then we're going to right click and
go group. And now it's all in one group. And if you make a
mistake, you can just right click here to go to undo. Now
we're going to click on the group Ctrl C to copy, then
Ctrl V to paste and just make this really small. So it fills
this section right here. Okay, and that way when someone is
printing this off, they can print off four copies of the
game. So then we're going to click on the group again Ctrl
C to copy Ctrl V to paste and just paste this four times and
you can get rid of this little line down here or make it
smaller. And the last thing you want to do is add an
answer key or the game instructions or both. So let's
say game instructions, the bride or groom must fill out
this sheet they must circle whether the bride or groom is
the person who performed or performs the action. And I've
got an example and more instructions. And if it's an
answer key to the game, you would provide that here and it
all just looks super professional. So if we zoom
out you can see that we have why And to three pages of a
document that these people will be buying for whatever,
you know, you're selling this for $1 or $2, or whatever. So
to download this file so that you can upload it to Etsy and
people can buy it is click share, download. And we're
going to click flatten PDF, and downloaded as PDF
standard, and then download, and we click on it. And you
can see how cute this file looks that we just made it so
much nicer than this one. And this one, look at all the
sales, they're getting the heat for the he said, she
said, It's really amazing how easy it is to make these
beautiful printables. And one thing that this person should
have done and that they didn't do is they didn't put a
watermark on it. So someone could literally right click
and go save image or copy image and just steal this so
they don't have to buy it like look, she pretty much giving
away the entire PDF for free. So what you should really do
to avoid people just stealing this is put a watermark on
your printable, and that way they can't just copy it. And
to do that, we're gonna go to text, click on add a heading.
Choose a nice thick font, something like this watermark.
Or you can put the name of your printable store, change
the color to light gray or something. Then over here,
click on transparency, bring the transparency down to
something like this. So if it's not too late, they still
might steal it. But if it's nice and thick like that, you
can say okay, this is a cool game, but I'm going to pay so
I can remove this annoying watermark. And then you could
you know, download this as a PNG file. And then you can
upload this image right here for your listing. And that way
someone's not going to just steal your file. Okay, so I
really hope this inspired you guys a little bit I actually
had a lot of fun creating this and I'm starting to get really
excited for creating more printables for my own Etsy
shop because it's just so simple to do and when you see
all the printables on Etsy that are making money and you
know you can create something better, you know, why not try?
So thank you guys so much for watching this video. I will
try to do more videos about Etsy because I just think it's
an amazing platform for people to make money online. Make
sure to like this video if you enjoyed it, and I will see you
in my next tutorial.
