Back in 2022, I was unemployed, really worried about my future, and everyone kept asking if I was going to go to grad school. I wanted to prove to myself that I could make money my own way—and fast forward to today, I’ve made over $30,000 selling digital products I created in Canva in my free time. That income helped me live abroad in Taiwan, pay off a huge chunk of my student loans, and honestly gave me more freedom than I thought was possible when I had zero dollars in my bank account. In this video, I break down exactly how I got started (even with zero design experience), what I would do differently if I was starting from scratch, and how you can start too. I explain what digital products are (evergreen, no inventory, no shipping—every sale is basically pure profit) and why Canva is such a powerful tool because you can customize free templates and export your files as PDFs or JPEGs. Then I walk you through my simple 3-step process: pick a niche, create in Canva, and sell on Etsy (or any platform). I also share the biggest lessons I learned the hard way—don’t copy other sellers, don’t stop at one product, and please don’t underprice yourself just to get sales.
