How To Make $12,000 A Year Selling Printables On Etsy

Did you know you can make money selling printables on Etsy?

 I’m interviewing a fellow blogger named Julie who has makes over $1,100 in a month selling printables on Etsy.

One of her printables took her a few hours to make, she listed it on Etsy, and it’s now profited her thousands of dollars. This is a great way to make money on top of your full-time job.

This is because printables can be printed at home instantly, so there’s no delivery time and customers can print the same printable again and again. 

Find out what kind of printables to make (so you can make the most money) and how to start an Etsy shop in this free training.

What are Etsy printables?

Printables are digital files, such as PDFs, that people buy, download, and print out on their home printers. 

Examples are jar labels for your spice rack, planner pages, grocery store checklists, printable wall art, clip-art illustrations, and what I sell – bachelorette party printable games.

My post popular printable is a bachelorette party scavenger hunt that the party can take with them on a bar crawl and cross off funny tasks such as “find and take a picture of someone with the groom’s name” and “request the song Single Ladies from the DJ.” I sell that printable for $7.00 and I do absolutely nothing when an order comes in.

The customer downloads the file and prints it at home themselves with no action required from me. Hundreds of customers can download that same file which is amazing.

And I made the printable over a year ago. So for just a few hours work, I’ve made thousands of dollars.

I’m not a graphic designer but I found the process of creating the printable easier than I expected and kind of therapeutic. It’s fun and a little creative outlet for me to make these printables.

In this free training, learn which printables to sell to make money, how to start an Etsy shop, and how to 10x your Etsy sales.

How much money can you make on Etsy?

My Etsy shop earned $1,100 in the past 30 days and I’ve done very little work on it.

I host a podcast and blog too and do these side hustles on top of my full-time job in tech.

And I’m expecting my first baby any day now. I don’t have the time for a super time-intensive side hustle so that’s what I love about Etsy.

I could potentially make six figures like some of the sellers I’ve interviewed on my podcast if I invested more time into it and that’s something I’ll consider if I ever wanted to take these side hustles full-time.

For now, I am happy with investing just 1-2 weeks a year making printables that bring me thousands of dollars the rest of the year. I think this is truly one of the more passive side hustles out there.

There is a definitely a ramping up period with this side hustle where you have to learn how to use the tools to make the printables. The 1-2 weeks per year is the investment for me now that I know how to use the tools and I am on maintenance mode.

This investment fits best with my busy schedule and life.
