WHAT IS PASSIVE INCOME?
Let's talk first about what exactly Passive Income is. When you work a Corporate 9-5 or any job where you are paid for your time you have actively worked, you are trading your time for dollars. Passive Income is earning an income without actively working. You do the work up front and are paid over and over again for an unlimited amount of time, even when you are not actively working. As a Mompreneur, your time is so valuable and also very unpredictable when you have kids to tend to all day! The time that you are able to work isn't always when your job wants you to work. You need an income that is consistent even when the time that you are able to work isn't!
There are days I can easily put in a few hours creating Canva Templates for my Etsy Shop, typically it's when the kids are at school or at night after they have gone to bed. Then there are other days when life gets in the way...a child gets sick and is home from school with strep for three days and before you know it, an entire week has gone by that I am not able to work on my business at all. I used to get so stressed when I would have to call off work due when my daughter was sick, our entire life would get turned upside down and I felt pulled in so many different directions. Not to mention the extreme guilt that I felt disappointing my boss but would have felt that much worse not being there for my daughter. I was always so torn! Now I work when I can, especially when life throws you a curveball, without all of the guilt.
You will need to spend a few hours creating your canva template, Sales Funnel, and a marketing strategy but that is the great thing about passive income, you put in the hours up front to create your template, but once it is made, it can be sold multiple times over and over!

WHERE TO SELL YOUR CANVA TEMPLATES

Etsy is a trustworthy, established and popular marketplace with an audience already searching for Canva Templates to buy. Etsy also handles the sales transactions and payments for you!

CREATING A CANVA TEMPLATE THAT SELLS
When you start thinking about what Canva Templates you want to sell, focus on three things...who do you serve, what problems might they have that can be solved by your Canva Templates and what social proof can you provide that you are the right person for the job. That winning combination is what's going to keep you motivated and focused through this entire process. This is called your niche! Once you have your niche, there are several types of template options that you can create to satisfy those three things. Here are a few of the most popular types that are currently selling well on Etsy:
- Planners
- eBooks
- Instagram Templates
- Invitations
- Party Games and Favors

MARKETING YOUR CANVA TEMPLATE
Once you have created your Canva Template, you want to give it the attention it deserves by promoting it everywhere you can! Focus on promoting your listings on your social media channels such as Pinterest, Instagram and Tik Tok. The Etsy algorithm will work in your favor the more organic traffic you send to your listings. The more traffic you send to your templates, the more times your templates will show up in Etsy's search tool.
You will also want to focus on managing your Sales Funnels to create an even more efficient Canva Template business. A Sales Funnel is a way of collecting leads (email addresses) through social media and nurturing (funneling) them through a process (series of emails) where they end up eventually purchasing from your Etsy shop.
