etsy is one of the world's
leading platforms for selling both
physical goods and also
digital goods and that's what we're
going to be talking about in this video
check this one out this is a digital
download when it rains look for rainbows
when it's dark look for stars
this is a cut file it's an svg dxf
eps png bundle you can add it to the
basket it's four dollars
this person's made 120 sales so far
here's one this is a custom listing
and this person's got 54 000
sales and they've got a whole section
down here and they've got 77
svg files
and you can see here this person's got
them all listed they're you know
relatively good price point
and they're instant shipping because if
i click on this one
and let's say i want to buy it i can add
to the basket and once i pay for it i
instantly get it it's just a zip file
so how do you make files like this
that's what i'm going to be talking
about in some pretty deep dive detail in
this video
i'm going to cover how to make these
using
completely free software and then how to
actually list it
on etsy so if you're interested in
learning about the mechanics of this
then this video is for you
all right welcome welcome i hope you're
having a great day it can be
intimidating to go on to etsy and see
huge stores that are selling hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of digital
goods
and you're like where do i even start so
in this video i'm going to cover
exactly how to make the files how to
bundle them
and then how to get them listed on etsy
so let's start
why are people buying digital files well
there's typically
four or five types of digital files that
people buy
and the most popular one is called an
svg file
that stands for scalable vector graphic
the reason that this is a good file is
because it does not get pixelated when
it gets really large
so they're good for stencils on walls
people use them for really
large posters an svg file has an
infinite level of crispness when you're
you know when you download that file and
you use it in an application like a
photoshop or an inkscape
the second type of file is a png file
these are really good for if you're
making like t-shirts
or coffee mugs or some sort of print on
demand
item and the reason a png file works is
because a png file
has a transparent background so you can
throw that design onto a t-shirt and
then whatever color the t-shirt is
it's just the text or just the image
that will be on the t-shirt you won't
have a white background
unless you choose to have that the third
type of file is a dxf
file and that's like a cutting file so
there's two
ones that i've run into i'm sure there's
more reasons but a dx
dxf file is typically used if you have a
cre-cut machine
and a creek cut machine is like a
high-end cutting
machine so you can cut like really
intricate patterns into paper
[Music]
or other materials the other reason that
i've seen dxf
files used is for woodworking machines
and like laser cutting and so it's
really cool
[Music]
now all of this would be the same design
mind you you would just have it in
different
formats so you might have like a flower
as an svg and a flower as a png and a
flower as a dxf
the fourth one is an eps file
and this is like an svg file but it can
be used in photoshop so it's like a
it's like a vector in the sense that
it's it's like a
i think it was like a hybrid between a
png file and an svg file
it looks like a png but it acts like an
svg so an eps file is really useful if
you're in
photoshop and you're using it for
you know really high resolution photos
and then the last one is the good old
jpeg file and the jpeg file is just sort
of the most robust
file type and so people can use that for
anything they want if they want to make
a poster or a print
so when you're bundling digital files
for sale on etsy you'd want to at least
include these four svg png dxf
and eps you may want to also include the
jpeg if you want
but you don't have to because people can
just use the png but it's your choice
here's an example of what you can list
on
etsy so this is just a made up example
and this says
30 svg png dxf and eps
and the theme here is summer beach and
these are silhouettes
that are simple so you could use them in
a creek cut or you could use them on a
t-shirt
the you know there's tons of options for
using these files
this is just going on because i've got
30 here listed so here's an umbrella
sunglasses a fan and so somebody would
purchase this
and then they could use them one of
those file types so they would download
all 30 files meaning that you would have
30 svgs in the bundle 30 pngs
30 dxfs and 30 eps so this one bundle
would be about 120
files and then they would download a zip
file or two zip files maybe even four
zip files here
of 30 each and then they would use
whatever
file type they need to use
so the big question becomes how do you
actually make
these digital files where do you get the
images what programs do you use
what are the different paths to success
so that's what i'm going to cover right
now
the first thing when you're making a
digital file is you could in theory just
draw the actual picture
so let's say for example you're a
relatively good artist you could sit
down at a
table and you could physically draw 30
arrows or 30 stars 30
handmade hearts you could draw
you know aces and diamonds and clubs and
hearts like you know suits of cards
you can just physically draw them take a
picture
of those drawings you know basically
you're scanning them into digital format
and then you use something like inkscape
which is a free vector tool
to render them into svgs and the other
types of files that's one
option you can also draw them digitally
as well and i'll go through an example
of how to do that
right in inkscape the second way you can
make digital files is to trace the
images and so you could
basically pull public domain pictures
and then use inkscape for example a
vector software free vector software
and you can just trace the image and
just create an svg file and the other
file types off of that as well
i'll go through an example of that too
the third one is to modify existing
images
so you might have a free svg public
domain
file and then you may want to modify it
remove some elements
add some elements so you're basically
combining
different pieces of art together to make
your own t-shirt graphic for example
and i'll go through an example of that
so let's start off with the first one
which is drawing images now i'm going to
go to
inkscape and we'll get started on
actually drawing
our own svg file
okay so if you're wondering what is this
inkscape this guy keeps talking about
the answer is go to inkscape.org
and check out this free software it's
completely free
and you can just click the little
download button over in the bottom left
and you can see how easy it is to
install and use now i'm going to be
using inkscape in this it's completely
free
so if you're worried about buying some
high-end software in order to create
these svg files
do not worry about that i'm going to
open up inkscape now and we'll get
started
drawing an svg file
i remember the first time i ever opened
up inkscape and i just went whoa
it's a little intimidating there's a
whole bunch of menu items along the
left-hand side
there's a menu along the top there's
menu items along the right hand side
and then there's this color palette down
at the bottom that just goes on forever
and ever and ever
so it's like where's the instructions on
how to use this right
so don't worry it's not that difficult
especially if we're just going to create
simple svg files and that's really what
we're doing we're not creating some
complicated for our piece of artwork
here
this is just nice and easy so what we're
going to do is start over on the left
hand side
and any menu item that i hover over
a little description box pops up so you
can see here over the circle it says
create
circles ellipses and arcs and as i just
go on down i can see there's different
items here this one says create
spirals there's a pen tool here a pencil
tool
a calligraphy pen and so on and so on so
we're just going to get started really
easily i'm just going to click this
little circle
and it says create circles ellipses and
arcs i'm just going to click that
now down at the bottom there's your
color palette so if i wanted to create a
black
circle i'll just click the little black
which is in the left hand side
and then i'll just drag my mouse and
that's
my circle that i create that's it that's
all there is to it
now that's my circle that's created i
can select it on the top left
and i can stretch it if i want
i can make it larger or smaller
i can do all sorts of weird and wild
stuff to it now this is an
actual svg file so we've already created
one
when i click the second little arrow
down it says edit paths by node and when
i click on that
you'll see there's four little paths
that come up actually only
three that come up and because the
circle is so simplistic
i can actually edit these paths
i can actually go in and i can change
how they
interact and we're going to get into
more into that about
moving around these little little nodes
because you can edit items by note
there's also a calligraphy
pen for exam just for example i'm just
picking stuff here at random this
calligraphy pen
you can draw a line
and then that also becomes a vector so
now i can
zoom in i'm just going to hold the
control key down and just scroll up with
my mouse wheel
and i can scroll right in i can actually
edit
these nodes so i can make them as
weird and as wild as i want
so it's very easy and intuitive to use
inkscape and to create an svg file
it's actually pretty easy i can do the
same thing here with this one i can
select it
i can stretch it i can do all sorts of
stuff to it so if you want to create a
simple
svg file it's pretty easy to do so the
first example i'm going to cover is how
to
draw these svgs
so i'm just going to delete these two
out and now let's draw for example
an arrow by the way this page that's set
up here in the middle we don't really
care about that we're just going to be
using whatever
white space we've got here so what i'm
going to do is actually
select my calligraphy pen and i'm just
going to draw
a line just like that
and then i'm going to draw another line
like that and another line
like that and then i'll just draw
an arrow
like that now i'm just using my mouse to
do it
but there you go i drew an arrow now
it's not that great mind you
but there's a lot of demand on etsy for
hand-drawn
items so there's really two ways you
could do this you could just draw this
with a piece of paper and a pencil like
in real life forget about the computer
or you can draw it in the computer
itself if you have a touch screen
and a stylus you can actually draw
really nice hand drawn
images so obviously i'm not doing that
great here with the pen but i can use a
pencil for example and i could try that
again let's say i want to draw a rocket
i can draw
a rocket design
using a pen and now i've got
you know i'd have to clean it up but i
could basically use the pencil design as
well
so you could draw like you know circles
hearts is a really common one
check marks
so there's a lot of really really simple
things you can do right
and the idea here is that your
your drawing these things that they
don't look computer generated
so let's say you wanted to bundle a
whole bunch of hearts together
so i'm in the little pencil tool and i'm
just going to draw a heart
just like that and that's going to be my
vector now you can see the one side of
it
is a vector and when i select the other
side of it
it's also a vector so i could actually
move it a tiny bit if i wanted
i'm happy with the way that looks and
then i can just simply save that now i
can just go file save as
and i can save it as an svg file
so it's very easy to do so i'm just
going to call it heart
and i'll just call it zero one
and then i'll just save it i'll save it
in my little digital downloads folder
and i'll just save it as that
now what that means is that the next
time i go in and i open it up
if i open up inkscape
i go in here and there's a heart file
and it actually says in my
my computer says html document but it's
basically a vector file
so i click on it and there it opens up
so now you can edit it you can click on
the link
and you can see there's a couple points
inside the vector it's a very simple
vector
so this would be one that you would want
to use if you're say creating 30
hearts and you could create all sorts of
different styles of them just using just
the pencil you'll see there's a
smoothing
option when i click on the pencil you'll
see there's a there's different things
up here at the top there's different
styles so i'm just going to change the
smoothing up to higher
and i'm going to make like a really
exaggerated heart here
and you could have that as well now if
you want to merge this into
one svg you just simply hold down the
shift key and select both sides of it
and then go up to path
and then you go to union and that
makes the whole thing now one vector
file
so you can see now there's all the
little vector nodes in there
and i can scroll in and see how crisp it
is it's not getting pixelated at all
so it's actually very easy to create
simple shapes like hearts
circles squares check marks arrows you
know all sorts of
designs but it's very easy to do so once
i've got this done i'm just going to
delete this one out
so now i'm going to select this and i'm
going to go
file save as and then this one will be
heart02
so now we've created two svg files
now if we want to create different types
of files because of course we want to
bundle them out right we want to create
svg then the next one i'm going to
create
would be a dxf so i just go to file
save as and i've got a drop down list of
all the different types of files
that i can save this as and you'll see
one of them is called desktop cutting
plotter
dxf and i would just hit save
and now it will save that file as a
cutting file so if you were say a
woodworker or a metal worker
and you wanted to create a heart burned
into wood or burned into metal
this is how you would do it you can also
save this file as a png
and you save it as a png by going over
to the right hand side
and you'll see there's a little export
you'll see there's an arrow coming
in and an arrow going out and we want
the arrow going out it says
export this document or a selection as a
png image
so i'm going to hit that button and that
will give me this export piece
and i can export the page which i don't
want to do because see how the page sale
that my image is bigger than the page
i can export the drawing which would be
fine or the selection
i'm just going to export the selection
and then it will give me the width
and the height and then i would make
that
the size that i want to make it
so i could make it really large if i
wanted really small i can change the dpi
settings to 300
that's typical it's pretty high
resolution so i could then
export that file as
my heart and i'm going to click export
as
and that's going to give me my folder
and then i can have i'm going to write
heart
0 2 and that's going to save it as a png
file so i'll hit save
and then export down at the bottom
and that's it so now when i go into my
folder i'm just going to open up my
folder here
you'll see that i've got my heart 0
2 is a dxf my heart 0 2
is a png and my heart02
is now an svg file
i'm just going to make those bigger i've
got my first heart that i would need to
do the same thing on but now i've got
these three now
saved as well so let's make an esp file
that's the other type that we'd be doing
so i've got it selected here in inkscape
i just go to file
save as and i would scroll on down and i
see encapsulated postscript eps
file that's it i just hit save
now it saves it as an eps file it's
going to ask me for a couple different
defaults
i just leave all this defaulted
it says embed fonts rasterize filter
effects hit ok
and that's it so now i've got my four
set up
for my
heart number two they're all there you
can't see this one just because
my computer's acting up here but it's
a esp or it's a png file if i double
click it it'll actually open up in
in paint i could just use that just as
an example
and we can see here when i open up paint
there's my beautiful png file it's
pretty high res too right now when i
when i really really go in you'll see
it's pixelated because that's a png
it won't do that if you use an svg file
that's the difference when you go really
big see how it gets pixelated
but most people like a png because they
can use it on a t-shirt
so i could import this into printful or
i could upload it onto redbubble
or i could create a design with it and
it would be totally fine
so a really easy way to pull images
and then sell them on etsy is you go to
a free website like rawpixel.com
up at the top you'll see there's a
public domain little filter
i'll click that and i'll start to just
scroll through
and see if there's something that
tickles my fancy here so i can see here
there's this julie degrad
collection and this is a compilation of
human portraits
sketches and graphic arts from the 19th
century so let's see if there's
something in here
that i would like to use and maybe we
can make a vector from it
here's one you'll see that there's a
little rooster here i'm going to click
on that
and you'll see how pixelated it is right
it's on some graphic paper
it's a nice little picture but if i
wanted to make it a vector
i would need to run this through
inkscape so this is a free download
it's a public domain image i'm going to
click the free download button
and it's going to just let me download
the rooster
easy so now i'm going to get out of raw
pixel
and i'll open up inkscape
so now i'm back in inkscape i'll open up
my
picture of my little rooster
it'll ask me import the dpi from the
file image rendering mode smooth which
is optimizing the quality i'll click ok
all right and i've got my rooster now
imported into
inkscape now when i scroll in see how
pixelated
it gets that's not going to be great if
i wanted to make a high-end print
and i wanted to make it really high
resolution
so what i'll do is i'll trace over this
and it's super easy to do i'll just
select the image
and then i'll just go up to path
and then trace bitmap and when i do that
i get a little trace bitmap
window that pops up i'm going to click
update which gives me a screenshot of
what i'm dealing with here
and i have a few different options when
i trace a bitmap i can do brightness cut
off
edge detection color auto trace or
center line tracing i just use
brightness cutoff for these black and
white images
and if i made it really really heavy
then what'll happen is it'll just make
the whole image
really super dark and if i make the
image too
light if i were to bring it right down
to say
you know 12 and update it's going to be
a little bit grainy
so what you typically will do is just
find a happy middle ground i
like to go around say 65 click update
and there it is
you'll see there's a couple dots on his
chest here if i make it a bit more
i click update those dots are now
starting to disappear
i'm going to let a couple dots go
through because i want to clean them up
i'll show you how to do that
and now i'm just going to click ok and
i'll just do a trace of the image so now
that's
my original image here with the craft
paper i'm going to delete that just by
clicking the delete key
and now this is my actual vector and
when i click on
the second arrow down it says edit paths
by node you'll see there's all the
different vectors
that make up the rooster
so this would be good now because it has
infinite level of resolution
now notice inside there's a couple of
these little dots
it's really easy to clean them up what
you do is you go to the second little
arrow which says edit paths by node and
you'll see that paths are now
highlighted
you just literally just use your mouse
to make a little square i'm just
dragging my mouse to make a square
i've highlighted those now i'll just
click the delete key
and they just disappear so now it's
cleaned
up same thing say here i don't want this
let's say i don't want that little one
there
i'll just click right over it like
basically i'm just using my mouse to go
over it and i'll click delete
that's it how about this one over here
get rid of that
so you can clean up a really crappy old
photograph and you can make it look
really nice and new
because you're removing all the little
dots so it would take some time
right you'd have to go around the foot
for example
but you can get pretty good at it pretty
quickly
i'll just go through here and just
remove these obviously you'd spend some
more time on this
but you could go through and you could
clean them up
so it just works like that pretty easy
to do
and then from there you would then
export this file so i can click file
save as
and now i'll call this one rooster
01 because i might have 30 rooster files
for example that's my svg file
i'll click save then i can also save it
as
a dxf file i can also save it as an eps
file
i can also export it as a png
file and then you bundle those together
and you can list them on etsy and sell
them as a digital download
another way that you can gather up
images to bundle and sell on etsy
is to go to a free website like svgsilh
which is the short form for silhouettes
and this is a free svg
image and icon site all the contents are
released under creative commons cc0
which means that their public domain
so for example if you really like angel
wings i'll just pop that open in a new
tab
and we can see this angel wings item
it says right here public domain and you
could download this as
is you could get all the angel wings and
you could bundle them and you could sell
them on etsy
now you may be wondering why would
somebody pay you
four dollars on etsy when they can just
come to this website for free
and it's a good question and it's
actually a question i had when i first
started doing this
and the answer is one of two things i
well three things
first they either don't know that these
free websites exist and so they're
paying you four dollars because they
like etsy they trust
etsy and they trust you and they say
okay i want to buy from you and if
there's a problem you can help me deal
with it
number two they may not have an interest
in trying to track down
all of these images on a free website
because you might gather up 10 from this
website
and 10 from another to public domain
website you might have a bundle
of 600 ribbons for example
and somebody says look i'm not spending
the next three days hunting down 600
ribbons i'll just pay you three dollars
and be done with it
so you're sort of hunting around the
internet and making
value for people because you're
providing simple svg files
the third reason somebody may want to
pay you money is you'll notice
this is an svg file and it's also a png
file
there is no eps file and there is no dxf
file
and there's no jpeg for what it's worth
so
this is an option if somebody's really
searching for a dxf file
they might not have the technical
expertise to understand
how to use inkscape so that's an option
so i'm going to download
this wing and i'm going to download it
as an svg file
just going to say do you want to save it
i'll say save file as
and then it will ask me save it as my
digital download
so i'm going to put it in here and i'm
just going to call it angel
wings and that'll be my my scalable
vector graphic so i'm going to use this
now in
inkscape so i'll pop open inkscape
and now i'll open up the file
that i just grabbed from
the free website
okay there it is we can see that it's a
scalable vector graphic because when i
click the second little arrow down on
the left hand side i can edit the paths
by node
so i can hover over and i can see each
individual little wing
is its own little graphic
and i could actually edit those graphics
if i wanted to i could actually make it
you know i could stretch it out
and i could make it different if that's
what i wanted to do
so you don't have to but if you wanted
to it's very easy to do
and again it's infinitely crisp there's
no
pixelation when you zoom in especially
extreme zoom in there's there's just no
pixelation
so that's it so now i've got this image
and now i can just save it as a png
file or a dxf file i can just go file
save as
and that gives me my options down here i
can save it as
an eps file or a dxf file
that's my other option or i can also
export this
as a png file and that's over on the
right hand side
that little out arrow button and that
will now give me
the dimensions for me to export this
as a png very easy
to grab and modify public domain
images from the internet
so once you've got all of your designs
created
you're going to want to bundle them
together
and that's the file you're going to
upload onto etsy
to sell so let's pretend for example
that i really want to sell my heart
design here and i'm just going to sell
it singularly i don't want to sell it
all as a bundle
so i'm just going to have my heart dxf
file
my heart esp file my heart png
file and my heart svg file those four
i'm just going to list as one listing on
etsy
so all i'm going to do is create a new
folder
i'm just right clicking inside of
windows explorer
i'm going to right click go to new and
then i'm going to go
folder that's going to create a new
folder i'm just going to call it heart
so that's where i'm going to put my
designs here so heart number two dxf
you go in there heart eps you go in
there
heart png and heart svg
so now inside of the heart folder i've
got my heart
0 2 design which is this png picture
now you're not going to upload all four
of these although you could
etsy gives you a maximum of five files
you can upload
so how do you do like 120 files in one
listing
well the answer is zip files i could
have four files in this folder i could
have 400 files in this folder
and i'll just go back a level i'll right
click on this folder
and i'll click send to compressed folder
so what that means is whatever is inside
this folder
it will essentially become one file i
can upload
so i'm going to right click on the
folder send
to compressed folder
this is the file that i upload onto etsy
it's
one file it just happens to be a zip
folder
so if you ever need to upload let's say
you have a listing of a hundred designs
put them all into one two three four or
five zip folders
and that's what you upload onto etsy
for creating the thumbnail you can use
any graphics design software you could
use
i just used photoshop you know to create
my thumbs
but here you can see there's a wood
background this one's got a mock-up
this one's got a brick wall design the
idea here is you want to specify
somewhere the types of files that you're
saving so here you can see it's at the
bottom of the thumb
here you can see it's at the top and you
want some sort of consistency
and it all comes down to really personal
preference like i happen to really like
this style where it's just at the top
because the little heart will sometimes
cover but again it's total personal
preference so what i've done here is
i've just typed in racing flag svg so if
you want to see what
thumbnails look like just type in any
sort of
you know i'll say summer svg
you know you just type in a phrase and
then whatever svg is
and then you'll just see it'll come up
with a bunch of you know
different designs so to create the
thumbnail the very first time one of the
things you might find helpful
is just i'm in powerpoint right now and
i'm just going to
use a template i just grabbed the image
off of etsy i'm not in any way
suggesting
that you just rip off the image and you
use that as your own but i just picked
a thumbnail that i liked and i'm just
going to try to recreate it here really
quickly
in powerpoint so i'm just going to
create a bar at the top
and then inside the bar i'll type in svg
eps three spaces jpeg i'm actually
not going to sell a jpeg so i'll do dbxf
and then png
and then from there i'll just change the
font
i'll just make it a bit bigger
and then i can leave that at the top
i'll remove this now because i know
what i'm doing here and then i'll just
import my image
of my heart and so that'll be my heart
image
that i'll put on here so again i mean
this is one design right so you may want
to have a mock-up
of a it on a t-shirt for example uh you
may want to have you know a couple
pictures i just like something simple
like this
and then you could list this for like 99
cents or you could have a whole bundle
of hearts
in which case if that were the case if
you had like say 30 hearts
then you make them all you know you you
import them all
and then you just copy and paste them so
then heart number two is sitting here
and heart number 12 is sitting over here
these would all be different by the way
but you would have like all of your
hearts listed here and then you could
have
you know a big number 80 in the middle
it's 80 hearts
and then somebody goes wow 80 hearts for
four dollars that's amazing
so it's kind of like the convenience
store aspect of it
like when you go to the convenience
store and you buy a pop or a soda
and it's like two dollars and you go man
i could go to the supermarket and get it
for half that
yeah but the 7-eleven's right there and
they're convenient
it's the same thing with etsy you're
going to get a lot of cre-cut people
and a lot of crafty people that aren't
necessarily computer people
so they'd rather just pay you four
dollars and have all their problems go
away
rather than have them take hours and
hours trying to recreate all these
themselves
so that's really the value you can
provide if you can make 80 hearts or 100
arrows
or 200 racing flags or a bunch of
faces silhouettes the the opportunities
are endless
i would be totally doing you a
disservice if i didn't mention
about copyrighted and trademarked stuff
on etsy
you type in princess svg and 25 000
results come up
you're gonna see a ton of trademarked
and copyrighted items
i would strongly recommend that you
avoid
anything that has trademark or copyright
implications
so for example something like this
birthday princess
that's a great looking thumbnail it's a
great looking design two different types
of fonts
very easy a pre-cut machine could cut
this out of paper or cloth no problem
but i would totally recommend avoiding
anything that involves trademarked items
you're going to do all this work
you're going to be up for years and then
all of a sudden your shop is going to
get shut down because of trademark
infringement
you definitely don't want that
so if you've never been on etsy before
the first thing i would encourage you to
do is go in and search for any
search term and then svg is the search
term so you would type in
something like mother's day and then svg
and what will happen is you'll see a
whole bunch of designs that pop up but
you can scroll through and you can find
different
downloadable files and then you can just
basically take a look at something that
you like
it's maybe this one here mom bundles
and then you can see the way it's listed
how their
tags are at the top what they say here
for digital download learn more about
this item
when i first started i just copied this
disclaimer
and i just put it into a little word
document and then i just
you know basically copied stuff that i
liked
so i would just use that as an example
i'm not saying you have to take this one
but
any of them you would do that now to
actually do a listing
you'll see over on the right you'll see
favorites updates
and then here's your shop manager so
wherever your shop manager logo
icon is you want to click that and then
it'll give you an opportunity now
to create a listing in etsy so you would
just click the add listing button
and you can start selling
so it's going to ask you to add a photo
and that's typically going to be your
thumbnail
that you would have created either in
powerpoint or
paint or photoshop or canva
you would just create a thumbnail of
your item and it would look similar to
any one of these so again i don't want
to drill down and say it must look
exactly like this
but i like the wood on the background i
like the t-shirt
sometimes it's just black or just white
that looks cool too
as you scroll on down you're going to
see an option
you'll see your listing details who made
it that sort of thing
and then this is the piece right here it
says type
a physical item or a digital item and
you want to make sure to select the
digital item
then you can just do a listing you can
put your tags put your price down
i like to do stuff that's either like
two dollars three dollars
four dollars that sort of thing for your
quantity
it's up to you but i would typically put
in like 999
that sort of thing and then when it
starts getting down into the 800s and
700s you can just always top it back
up that's an option there's really no
reason to have like one listed
now you will get charged a fee to
re-list it each time
it you know each time you sell something
so you got to keep that in mind but hey
you're playing with house money at that
point right
and then here at the bottom it says
digital files they can download these
files so this is where you would upload
your file
so there's my heart compressed folder
and now it's uploading it so when
somebody pays me the two dollars
they'll be able to download that heart
file and that heart file will contain
the svg
the eps the dxf
and the png file
so that's it so it's very easy to do you
can upload
more files if you're doing large groups
of files let's say i had
40 heart designs i would probably upload
five zip files and only one file
like one zip folder would contain all
the svg files
and then the second folder would contain
all the dxf files
it just makes it more convenient for the
client
if you're dealing with hundreds of files
it's nice to have them
somewhat organized that can be really
helpful as well
so i hope you found that helpful again a
very big picture overview here of how to
do this
i do encourage you to you'll like and
follow and subscribe
on this channel craftystacks because
we're going to be doing some more deep
dives
about creating digital files
specifically
on inkscape and i love escape there's so
much you can do on it
so feel free to subscribe and join the
ride as we
get more and more into the world of
digital files thank you so
