hey guys welcome back to my youtube
channel in today's video I'm gonna be
talking about how to make money selling
printables on EXCI so if you have ever
thought about making passive income by
selling printables on etsy this video is
for you
if this is your first time visiting my
youtube channel consider subscribing I
upload weekly videos to help you build
an impact for online business so let's
go ahead and dive in into the tutorial
and make sure that you wash all the way
to the end because I'm gonna show you
step-by-step how easy it is to create
digital prints and to start selling
those on EXCI to make passive income so
let's go ahead and get started the first
thing I want to talk about and define
for people that don't know what a
digital download is what exactly is a
digital download
so the standard definition is a digital
download is an electronic form of a
document or file that the buyers gonna
receive without receiving a physical
copy so what that means is that the
person is basically paying for a custom
item that you make but they're not going
to receive a tangible item through the
mail they're gonna receive a file that
they could download and print at their
local printing shop so they could take
this document that's gonna be saved in a
JPEG format or PDF format and they could
take it to Kinkos
maybe FedEx Costco staples whatever is
the local printing shop in your area and
you a lot of people what they do is they
either upload it on the actual website
let's say they go to FedEx calm upload
it and do the work from there or they
save it in a thumb drive and take it to
Kinkos to get it printed out so
basically you ask the seller you're not
printing anything out for the customer
you're not sending a customer a tangible
item you're just creating the file or
creating the artwork and sending them
the file now I do recommend that when
you're sending you're providing them
with the final file that you send them a
JPEG and a PDF format the only reason
why I say send them both is because a
lot of printing shops do require a PDF
and then other printing shops they don't
do PDF they just want to do the jpg that
way you don't have to worry about the
customer messaging you later on to
provide them a PDF or vice versa jpg
format so saving them on both formats
and sending it to the customer has been
the best experience for me I'm when
selling digital downloads now the most
common items that are sold mxc as a
digital downloads are wedding invites
wedding signs principal artwork birthday
signs principal wine labels and
principal planners now there's so many
options that you could do as long as
your creative side comes out you could
do anything pretty much with digital
prints it just depends on your niche and
what you're more more interested in
doing but these are the most common ones
that you could do it just basically
depends on what you are more creative in
and what you're interested now I do
recommend that if you do start a second
store or your new store on EXCI selling
digital prints that you keep it niche
related so if you want to do like
artwork just keep it artwork if you want
to do let's say weddings everything
weddings then keep it wedding related
and if you want to do like birthdays
keep it what birthday related now you
could do parties for all occasions which
is kind of like what I do and the great
the great thing about having all
locations is that when you selling a
little bit of birthday a little bit of
wedding a little bit of let's say
Christmas and you have a little bit of
everything in that sense you're always
gonna have sales year-round vs. seasonal
sales so that's the advantage of doing
it however I do recommend niching down
to a specific category because that's
gonna help you
increase yourselves and become an
authority in that niche so that's really
really important to consider now you
don't have to be a graphic designer to
create printable printable artworks of
any kind so with a little bit of help
with canva comm and you purchase license
to use graphics you can start making
printables in no time so keep in mind my
favorite place where I buy majority of
my clipart that I use for commercial use
is from creative market so I will leave
the link below the video on the text box
description and also on the comment
section it's free to sign up so I highly
recommend doing it keep in mind as a
disclaimer whenever you are buying any
type of graphic design fonts or anything
else patterns and templates make sure to
read the license terms on anything you
purchased that you intend to use and
make money from it's very very important
that you read up on the license terms so
I absolutely love canva and you could do
so much with canva the platform is
incredible you could create beautiful
designs with simple drag-and-drop
feature is you know you don't have to
have no experience and it's very simple
to use and the best part is the majority
of the things in canva are free I use
the pay version because I do so many
things not only personally for both as a
freelance and for my clients but it is
an absolutely great tool for beginners
and to create amazing beautiful
templates product social media and much
more so let's go ahead and get started
on the tutorial and I'm gonna show you
step by step how easy it is to start
creating and implementing artwork or
printable downloads that you can start
selling on Etsy so let's go ahead and
head over to canva okay so here we are
on canva calm I will leave the link
below as well just in case and basically
what you want to do is when you go to
canva.com you sign off for the art for
the account if you don't have one at the
current moment is
to sign up and what you want to do is
start with creating your design so you
just click on create in your design and
what I normally do is I start with
custom the dimensions
I'm normally as a digital download I
usually will give the customer three
sizes and five by seven and eight by ten
and eleven by fourteen you could do as
many sizes as you like I know that one
of the trending things that I've seen is
that many other successful stores that
sell just artwork they provide like five
six different sizes so I I personally
have started doing that now as well so I
provide now four by six a five by seven
eight by ten eleven by twenty-four 18 by
24 and then up 24 by 36 and you can
start you can do any size you like if
you are planning to sell like in other
countries I know that they have the size
a 1 a 2 you could do those as well you
could include those sizes as well if you
like to and all you do is um create um
click on custom design dimensions and
I'm gonna put on a buy ten and I'm gonna
set change this from pixel to inches and
create new design so here you're gonna
have a dashboard and you're gonna have
different options you could use any of
the templates that they currently have
because we're creating a custom design
that you're gonna sell on EXCI I'm just
gonna go down to let's see uploads
because I already uploaded the flowers
that I'm working with so these are the
flowers that I purchased from creative
marketing they have many beautiful
flower bundles and packages and I'm
gonna do a sign for a wedding sign so
I'm gonna take this flower here and I'm
gonna put it right here and it's so
simple as you can see I'm just dragging
it and like making it bigger and then
I'm gonna take this one and put it on
the bottom and I'm gonna measure it it
again as well and then I'm just gonna go
here to flip and flip vertical and it's
gonna flip it for me
and you could just adjust that as you
can see it's very simple to use I'm
gonna put it right there stop I have
enough space to add wording and then I'm
gonna go to text and you could use any
of these that are preset already if you
like and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
use this text here so I'm gonna say
please take a treat so this is gonna be
for let's say a wedding sign so I'm
gonna change the font
so I can go here and it's gonna give me
all these different fonts that I can use
so I'm gonna go ahead and change it to
something cursive I like this on a lower
Laura so that's a possible one let's see
if we find anything else they have so
many fonts that you could use it's
incredible so the theme I'm gonna stick
with this one here then what I'm gonna
do is I'm gonna change the color if you
have a set color that you need to change
this to you could go to color click I'm
sorry click here on the plus and you can
actually type in the code that you need
for that particular color or you can
just play with it you could move this
around to find the color that maybe you
want to work with so I'm gonna make this
like a pinkish color so right there I
think that's good
and I'm going to Center this a little
bit more as you guys could see has been
doing this like five seconds it was like
very simple process so I put in the
middle I think that looks pretty good
now you could play around up here with
spacing with upper case and lower case
you can make the file PNG wishes on
transparency like if you want to make it
clear maybe somebody wants so you want
to change the color or you want to use
another software to change colors you
could do that here as well so just in
case you could change the background if
you need to by selecting colors or you
can simply just go up here and select
color the new one for the background so
and you could do a gray you could do so
if you were doing this design and you
wanted to create multiple listings but
with different colors it's so simple to
do because you already created the
designs all you have to do is go here
and play with the background so you can
potentially create one with a grey
background with pink letters or white
letters and vice versa
I'm depending on what you're looking for
I actually like it with the white
background but you could definitely
change it and have additional science
with different colors because there are
people that gonna want a white
background and there are gonna be people
that want a different color but as you
guys could see this is a very simple
process all we did was already created
the sign now all I have to do is say if
I'm done with this and I'm happy with
the results um once you're happy with it
all you have to do is click on click on
publish and download and right here it's
gonna give you the option to save it so
I'm gonna do a JPEG and I'm gonna select
quality all the way to 100 and I'm gonna
download the JPEG and it takes a few
seconds to download and then this is
what the file that you saw is what
you're gonna get so this is what you
would get and then all I recommend is
changing the file name and changing it
to 8 by 10 that way when you are
uploading the file on XE each file
should have their own size name so
you're not gonna name the size please
take a treat you're gonna name it 8 by
10 and then if you need to let's say you
want to do this one in 5 different sizes
so when the customer buys it from you
they get already 5 slices included all
you will have to do is go here resize
you create you click on custom
dimensions and we're gonna do now 11 by
14 because we want to create that size
as well it's gonna go ahead and resize
it for you so here is an 11 by 14 and if
you need to resize it again you do the
same thing
so now we're gonna do a 24 by 36 copy
and resize and voila now sometimes this
happens that you see the the end up here
all you have to do is just drag it down
and that's it that's your 24 by 36 and
then you do the same process you
download it and you save it now you have
a 8 by 10 at 11 by 14 and a 24 by 36 you
could include all these different sizes
for the customer and you can sell it for
like let's say $7 and they get six sizes
so it's a really nice way to make
passive income without having to do any
type of work I mean the only thing you
might have to do on a on a shop that you
only use downloads that already instant
downloads that you don't necessarily
have to customize the only thing you
will need to do is occasionally I would
recommend checking your emails every day
being active in your store but you're
not gonna be there working for hours and
you could do science after science after
science because with instant download is
so easy to fill up your store one of my
stores has over 10,000 items on it
already because it's so simple just
tweaking the item you could like I said
earlier you could just change the
flowers around or you could just go back
to the same print and go to uploads and
remove these flowers if you wanted to
right and just kind of be like okay I'm
gonna do something different I'm gonna
put these flowers and I'm gonna create
the same design but I'm gonna do another
design with it right another the same
design with different flowers and you
know you flip it vertical and then you
can flip it horizontal and now you put
it here and this could be another design
that you did with the same one so these
are just easy ways that you can start
making passive income I hope that you
