How To Make $100K/Month Selling Digital Products

If you’ve ever dreamed of waking up to an inbox full of order confirmations and income notifications, selling digital products might just be your perfect business model.

Hi, I’m Rowena Rousseau—a digital entrepreneur who went from side hustling online to building a multi-million-dollar business. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I make over $100,000 per month selling digital products, and how you can too.

This isn’t about flashy trends or going viral on social media. It’s about building real digital assets that generate passive income while you sleep.

Let’s dive into exactly how I did it, step by step.

What is selling digital products?

Selling digital products refers to creating and offering downloadable or digitally accessible items—like templates, printables, courses, planners, or graphics—that customers can purchase and receive instantly.

Unlike physical goods, digital products don’t require:

• Inventory

• Shipping

• Packaging

• Physical storage

They’re delivered online, can be sold repeatedly, and require minimal ongoing effort once created. This makes them an ideal business model for anyone who wants scalable, sustainable income without the hassles of traditional eCommerce.

Common examples of digital products include:

• Ebook and resume templates

• Digital planners for GoodNotes or Notion

• Clipart and design elements

• Wedding and party printables

• Workbooks and journals

• Online courses or digital toolkits

Now, let me show you exactly how I went from a few templates to a six-figure monthly income selling digital products.

Step 1: Diversify your digital product offerings

One of the most common (and costly) mistakes beginners make when selling digital products is putting all their energy into just one product type. Maybe it’s an ebook template, a Notion dashboard, or a digital planner—but they rely on that one thing to carry their entire business.

Here’s the problem: digital markets change fast. Consumer interests evolve. Trends rise and fall. What was in demand six months ago might be oversaturated or declining today.

If you want to build a stable, long-term income stream from selling digital products, you must diversify your catalog. This doesn’t mean launching 100 products at once—it means gradually expanding your product line into related niches and formats that cater to multiple customer needs, audiences, and seasons.

My journey from one product to a multi-category digital business

When I first started selling digital products in early 2022, I launched a collection of ebook templates tailored for coaches and course creators. These templates included structured layouts for lead magnets, workbooks, and client guides—simple to create, in high demand, and easy to customize with tools like Canva.

They sold well. Really well.

But by mid-2023, I noticed a dip. The coaching niche became saturated. New sellers flooded the market with similar templates. And customers started demanding more custom solutions or higher-value bundles.

Instead of panicking, I pivoted.

Here’s what I did:

1. Party Printables

I realized that event-based printables—like baby showers, weddings, and birthday party decor—had steady demand. Unlike trends that come and go, people always celebrate life milestones.

I started designing:

• Invitation templates (editable in Canva)

• Baby shower games

• Wedding welcome signs

• Party favor tags and decor

Party printables became one of my most reliable revenue streams. Why? Because events are recurring and predictable. Each year brings a fresh wave of customers searching for themed designs—and they’re often willing to buy bundles.

2. Clipart Collections

I then tapped into a creative audience: crafters, designers, and fellow digital sellers. They needed clipart for their own products.

I started small—with seasonal clipart (Christmas, Halloween, Spring florals), then expanded to:

• Wedding clipart (florals, bride and groom sets)

• Watercolor illustrations (perfect for wall art or greeting cards)

• Icon packs for digital planners or website design

Selling clipart was a game changer. Once I created a set, it could be sold to hundreds or thousands of buyers—each using it in their own projects.

Bonus: Clipart requires no customization or support. It’s plug-and-play, making it one of the most hands-off forms of selling digital products.

3. Digital Planners and Notebooks

In 2024, I noticed a rising trend in digital planning—especially on platforms like GoodNotes, Notability, and ReMarkable. This was the perfect opportunity to expand again.

I created:

• Daily, weekly, and monthly planners

• Business dashboards

• Journals and habit trackers

• Student and teacher planners

These products appealed to productivity lovers, bullet journal fans, and online entrepreneurs looking to stay organized in a digital space.

I combined aesthetic design with functional layouts—something customers couldn’t find with generic options. My planners quickly became top sellers in my shop.

PLR products: the secret weapon for fast diversification

If you’re looking to expand your product catalog quickly without burning out, PLR (Private Label Rights) products are a powerful shortcut.

One of the best-kept secrets in my business is a platform called The PLR Library. This membership site offers pre-made, editable digital products—like planners, journals, printables, and workbooks—that you can fully customize, rebrand, and sell as your own.

Instead of spending hours designing from scratch, I simply:

1. Download a template from The PLR Library

2. Customize it using my mood board (colors, fonts, graphics)

3. Repackage it into a unique product or bundle

4. Upload it to my shop and start selling

The best part? The PLR Library constantly adds fresh, trend-driven templates and includes monthly trend reports, which help you stay ahead of what buyers are actually searching for.

This has saved me dozens of hours per month—and allowed me to test and launch new product lines faster than ever before. It’s one of my favorite tools for scaling efficiently and strategically when selling digital products.

Why diversification matters in the long run

By diversifying my product catalog across multiple categories and customer types, I created a business that didn’t depend on a single product or audience.

Here’s what that looks like in action:

• If party printables slow down in January, planner sales rise during “New Year” goal-setting season.

• Clipart sales spike before every major holiday.

• Planners sell steadily across B2B, students, and personal development niches.

Instead of constantly chasing trends or rebuilding from scratch, I now have built-in product variety that keeps my revenue consistent month after month.

This is how you build a sustainable business when selling digital products.

Step 2: Choose the right digital products to sell

If you’re serious about building a profitable business selling digital products, the very first strategic move is to choose the right products—and base that choice on data, not guesswork.

Many creators fall into the trap of creating what they think is pretty or useful—without confirming whether people actually want to buy it. This often leads to products that sit on virtual shelves, collecting digital dust.

That’s why I treat product research as the foundation of my business. Every high-performing digital product I’ve launched started with the same core process: researching demand, identifying buyer intent, and validating ideas using SEO and keyword tools.

Why choosing the right product matters

No matter how beautiful your design is, how perfect your layout, or how seamless your Canva template—if no one is searching for it, it won’t sell.

When you’re selling digital products, you need to think like a digital marketer, not just a creator. What keywords are your potential customers typing into search bars? What problems are they trying to solve? What specific products are they ready to purchase?

That’s where keyword research comes in.

My go-to tool: Ahrefs

I use Ahrefs, a powerful keyword research and SEO tool, to uncover:

• What types of digital products people are searching for (e.g., clipart, printables, planners)

• Which search terms have high buying intent (e.g., “editable baby shower invitation”)

• Where the competition is low, giving me the best chance to rank and sell

Ahrefs lets me see search volume, difficulty score, and cost-per-click (CPC) data—all of which help me evaluate whether a keyword is worth targeting.

But I don’t just stop at search volume. I look for transactional keywords, which indicate that the searcher is ready to buy. These usually include terms like:

• “Editable”

• “Printable”

• “Template”

• “Download”

• “For GoodNotes”

• “Instant access”

If someone types “wedding invitation template editable,” they’re likely looking for something to purchase, download, and customize—not just inspiration.

These are the buyers you want to reach when selling digital products.

Examples of proven, high-potential digital product niches

Let’s break down a few real-life examples I’ve uncovered using Ahrefs:

• “Wedding clipart”
  This keyword has high search volume and is popular among fellow designers, crafters, and Etsy sellers. There’s always a wedding season, and brides are constantly searching for personalized decor elements.

• “Baby shower games printable”
  A classic example of a repeat-purchase category. Each year, millions of people host baby showers, and printable games are a go-to purchase. These buyers are often looking for editable bundles and unique, themed designs.

• “Recipe ebook template”
  Popular among food bloggers, nutritionists, and creators who want to monetize their content. Templates for recipe collections or meal plans are in consistent demand and often command premium pricing.

• “Editable invitation template”
  A keyword with year-round potential, as it applies to birthdays, weddings, baby showers, graduation parties, and more. Buyers want quick, customizable solutions—especially those that can be edited in Canva or similar platforms.

• “Notion budget template”
  A fast-growing niche for digital organization tools. These templates attract productivity enthusiasts, digital entrepreneurs, and students.

By focusing on keywords with both demand and purchase intent, I ensure that I’m always working on digital products that have a high chance of success—rather than products that just “feel” like a good idea.

How to validate your ideas with real-time data

Beyond keyword tools, here are additional ways I evaluate whether a product idea is worth developing:

1. Etsy and marketplace research
I search for the product type on Etsy and use tools like EverBee to sort listings by monthly revenue. If top listings are generating thousands of dollars, and the design quality is achievable, it’s a green light.

2. Pinterest and search engine autocomplete
I type a keyword into Pinterest or Google and watch for autocomplete suggestions. These give me insight into what people are actively searching for. Bonus: Pinterest is especially helpful for party-related products.

3. Creative Fabrica and PLR platforms
Sites like Creative Fabrica show you what types of design elements and templates other sellers are purchasing to use in their own products—this is great inspiration for trending topics.

4. Social listening
I browse Facebook groups and Reddit communities focused on weddings, parenting, digital planning, or home organization. People openly share what tools or printables they’re looking for, which gives you a direct line into buyer needs.

The importance of keeping a digital product idea bank

I keep a running spreadsheet of product ideas based on keyword research, organized by:

• Niche (e.g., wedding, planner, teacher resources)

• Target audience (e.g., moms, students, entrepreneurs)

• Search volume and keyword competition

• Seasonality (e.g., back-to-school, holiday)

• Status (e.g., in development, launched, testing)

This allows me to prioritize what to create next and ensures that I’m always building products based on data and demand, not guesswork.

Even if you’re not ready to build a new product immediately, having this bank helps you stay organized and responsive to trends when the time comes.

Final thoughts: pick smart to sell more

Choosing the right products to sell is the bedrock of your success in selling digital products.

If you take the time upfront to validate your ideas, assess demand, and align with search intent, you’ll dramatically increase your chances of making sales—even if your shop is brand new.

Let your data—not your assumptions—guide what you create. You’ll not only save time and energy, but you’ll also be building a product catalog that buyers are already looking for.

Because the real secret to selling digital products isn’t about being the best designer—it’s about solving the right problems, for the right audience, at the right time.

Step 3: Research trending design styles that actually sell

Once you’ve identified a profitable product idea with solid search demand and buyer intent, the next step is design strategy—and this is where many digital sellers miss the mark.

Even if your product category is technically in demand (like baby shower games or wedding templates), it won’t sell if it doesn’t visually align with what the customer expects to see. A customer might search for “boho baby shower invitation”—but if your design looks outdated, overly generic, or doesn’t match the style they had in mind, they’ll scroll past it.

That’s why visual trend research is essential to selling digital products successfully.

Why design style matters in digital product sales

Selling digital products is not just about functionality—it’s also about aesthetic alignment. Buyers are visually-driven, especially in niches like:

• Party printables

• Clipart

• Wedding templates

• Digital planners

• Journals and workbooks

Even with high-ranking keywords, a product with an outdated design, poor color palette, or cluttered layout won’t convert. In contrast, a product that looks “on-trend” instantly builds trust and perceived value—even before the customer clicks on the listing.

This is where data-driven design comes into play.

My exact system for identifying high-converting design trends

I don’t just guess which styles are popular—I reverse-engineer what’s already working using EverBee.

EverBee is a Chrome extension that integrates directly into Etsy and gives you real-time data about:

• Monthly revenue for each listing

• Number of monthly sales

• Keyword tags used

• Product age and performance trends

• Shop competition

This tool is a must-have if you’re serious about selling digital products on Etsy or any digital marketplace.

Here’s how I use EverBee to design products that match market demand and style trends:

Step 1: Search your target keyword on Etsy

Let’s say you want to create a new digital product for “baby shower invitations.” Type that keyword into the Etsy search bar and hit enter.

Step 2: Activate the EverBee extension

With EverBee installed, a panel will appear directly on your search results page. Click “Product Analytics”, and EverBee will scan all the listings on that page and show detailed metrics like:

• Monthly revenue

• Total sales

• Price

• Date listed

• Conversion potential

Step 3: Sort by monthly revenue

Now sort the results by highest to lowest monthly revenue. You’ll quickly see which listings are actually making money, not just getting views or favorites. This filters out the noise and puts the real top performers in front of you.

Step 4: Analyze top-selling design elements

Click into the top 3–5 listings and take note of:

• Font styles (script, serif, bold, handwritten)

• Color palettes (neutrals, pastels, bold colors, muted tones)

• Themes and motifs (boho rainbows, floral borders, gold accents, watercolor elements)

• Layout and spacing (clean and minimal vs. full and detailed)

These visual choices tell you what resonates with the buyer in that niche.

Step 5: Create a trend-based mood board

Open Canva, Pinterest, or your favorite design tool and begin compiling your research into a mood board. Include screenshots of fonts, color swatches, illustrations, and layouts you observed from the top listings.

You’re not copying—you’re building a style framework based on actual consumer behavior.

Use this board to guide your own unique design while ensuring your product is on-brand and market-aligned.

Why EverBee is the #1 tool for visual product research

I can’t emphasize this enough: EverBee completely changed how I research, design, and price my digital products.

Before EverBee, I had to rely on surface-level clues—favorites, reviews, or sheer guesswork. Now, I have hard data on what products are performing best in real-time.

If you’re serious about building a six-figure business selling digital products, EverBee gives you:

• Unmatched visibility into what’s actually selling

• Insights into seasonal performance and evergreen winners

• Clarity around pricing strategies and how to position your products

• Access to competitor tags, listing structure, and SEO tactics

• A shortcut to discovering design styles that convert

Whether you’re creating invitations, digital planners, journals, or clipart, EverBee gives you the competitive edge you need—especially in a crowded marketplace.

If you haven’t yet installed EverBee, I highly recommend doing it before you design your next product. It’s free to start, with a Pro version that unlocks full revenue data and advanced filters. The insights you gain are worth far more than the investment.

Trending design examples for top digital product categories

The same research process I use for baby shower invitations applies to every major digital product niche.

1. Digital planners

Search “GoodNotes digital planner” and run EverBee. You’ll likely find:

• Minimalist layouts with lots of white space

• Soft, muted tones (taupe, sage green, blush pink)

• Clean fonts with a handwritten flair

• Motivational quotes and aesthetic cover pages

Use this insight to tailor your planner designs for the buyers browsing that category.

2. Printable games

Keywords like “bridal shower game printable” or “birthday party games” often feature:

• Playful fonts

• Floral or festive borders

• Easy-to-read layout

• Coordinated sets (not just single pages)

This is a huge opportunity for bundling and cross-selling, too.

3. Clipart bundles

Search “Christmas clipart” or “wedding floral clipart” and observe:

• Illustration styles (watercolor, hand-drawn, flat icons)

• Color harmony across the set

• How many files are included (value for money)

• Licensing terms and usage

Clipart buyers often need consistency across design projects—your bundle should deliver cohesive, trend-aware visuals.

4. Journals and logbooks

Search “gratitude journal printable” or “habit tracker PDF.” Winning designs often:

• Feature calming colors and simple graphics

• Have intuitive layouts that encourage daily use

• Include customizable sections

• Feel approachable and well-designed

Final thoughts: design research is non-negotiable

No matter how good your keywords or product ideas are, design execution can make or break your results. When you’re selling digital products, you’re not just offering utility—you’re offering aesthetic experience.

Using tools like EverBee allows you to remove the guesswork and build designs that don’t just look good—but sell consistently.

Here’s your next move:

• Choose your product niche

• Run a keyword and style analysis with EverBee

• Identify the top sellers and their design patterns

• Build a mood board

• Create a trend-aligned, high-converting digital product

Don’t design in a vacuum. Let the market show you what’s working—and then bring your unique touch to it.

And if you want to accelerate your growth selling digital products, start by adding EverBee to your toolkit. It’s the single most effective research tool I’ve used—and it’s helped me generate over $100K/month with products that buyers are already searching for.

Step 4: Create faster with customizable PLR templates

One of the biggest lessons I learned in my journey to making six figures per month selling digital products is this: your time is your most valuable resource.

When I started out, I was doing everything manually. Designing digital planners, party printables, clipart elements—every font choice, every layout, every graphic was handcrafted from scratch. And while that worked in the beginning, it quickly became unsustainable as I tried to scale my shop and introduce more product lines.

I realized that if I wanted to grow my income, I had to create more products in less time—without compromising on quality. That’s when I discovered PLR products, and more specifically, The PLR Library.

What are PLR templates?

PLR stands for Private Label Rights. These are pre-made digital products—like planners, journals, workbooks, printables, or even full product bundles—that you can legally rebrand, customize, and sell as your own.

Think of PLR as your creative shortcut.

Instead of starting from a blank page in Canva or Illustrator, you get access to ready-to-edit templates that you can tweak, brand, and resell to your audience. This means you can bring a new product to market in a fraction of the time it would take to design it from scratch.

For digital product sellers, PLR is the ultimate secret weapon—especially if you’re short on time, low on design skills, or managing multiple storefronts.

Why I chose The PLR Library (and why it’s the best)

There are plenty of PLR providers out there—but after testing several, I now exclusively use The PLR Library. Here’s why:

• Professional-grade designs: Every product looks polished and market-ready. You’re not getting cheesy clipart or dated layouts—you’re getting digital assets designed to sell.

• Fully editable in Canva: No need for expensive design software. Every template is created with Canva in mind, so customization is incredibly beginner-friendly.

• Unlimited usage rights: Once you download a product, you can customize it and sell it as your own—no attribution required.

• Monthly trend reports: With a $34/month membership, you get exclusive access to curated trend reports that show you exactly which digital products are in demand, and which design styles are trending each month.

• New templates added every month: The PLR Library consistently adds 10–20 new products monthly, so you’ll always have fresh material to work with.

• Perfect for scaling: Whether you want to launch new products weekly, build bundles, or test new niches, the templates allow you to scale without burnout.

Bottom line? The PLR Library saves me dozens of hours every month, helps me stay ahead of trends, and gives me a fast, reliable way to grow my income selling digital products.

My exact workflow using The PLR Library

Let me walk you through how I use The PLR Library in my day-to-day business operations. Whether I’m creating a party printable bundle, a new planner collection, or a themed journal, my process looks like this:

Step 1: Download a pre-made template

I log into The PLR Library and browse through their categories: planners, printables, journals, templates, and more. Let’s say I want to launch a baby shower party bundle. I search for relevant printables—like invitations, games, or welcome signs—and choose a bundle that fits the theme I want to sell.

Step 2: Customize the design in Canva

Once I download the file, I open it in Canva and begin applying my mood board elements—things like:

• Trending color palettes (neutral, boho, pastel, etc.)

• Popular fonts based on top-performing Etsy products

• Themed graphics or illustrations that align with my niche

• Layout adjustments to make the design uniquely mine

Because the foundation is already there, it usually takes 10–15 minutes to rebrand the entire product and make it shop-ready.

Step 3: Format and package the product

Depending on the product type, I either:

• Export as a PDF for direct download (great for printables or journals)

• Share a Canva template link inside a PDF with instructions (ideal for editable invitations or planners)

I always include brand elements and a short thank-you page or instruction sheet to enhance customer experience.

Step 4: Upload and sell

Once the file is ready, I upload it to Temzli, Etsy (if I’m using it), or my own website. The product description, images, and SEO are prepped using keywords I researched earlier.

From product selection to going live in my shop? About 1 hour.

Compare that to the 6–10 hours it used to take me to design everything from scratch—and you’ll see why The PLR Library has become one of my non-negotiable tools.

The power of trend-driven PLR content

One of the features that truly sets The PLR Library apart is their monthly trend reports.

These are not just vague “idea lists.” They’re in-depth, data-backed insights showing you:

• What’s trending across Etsy and other digital marketplaces

• What buyers are actively searching for

• Which design styles (fonts, colors, themes) are rising in popularity

• Product niches with rising demand (e.g., wedding planners, fall-themed journals, business dashboards)

Instead of spending hours trying to figure out what to create next, I use the trend report to build a production calendar. I plan my product releases around real customer behavior, which increases the chances that my digital products will actually sell—without having to guess.

These reports alone are worth the monthly membership fee, especially if you’re serious about selling digital products as a business, not just a side hustle.

Why using PLR is a smart move—no matter your skill level

A lot of people ask: “Isn’t using PLR cheating?”

Here’s the truth: Smart entrepreneurs use systems. PLR is not about cutting corners—it’s about creating efficiency. You’re still:

• Customizing the product

• Adding your brand and value

• Solving a real customer problem

PLR is simply the raw material that speeds up your creation process. And in a business where time equals opportunity, that’s a major competitive advantage.

Whether you’re a busy parent, a full-time creator, or someone starting from scratch, The PLR Library helps you get to market faster, with products that look stunning and meet actual demand.

Final thoughts: PLR is the gateway to scaling your digital product business

If you want to grow your income from selling digital products without sacrificing quality—or your sanity—PLR is the tool that makes it possible.

With The PLR Library, you’re not just downloading templates. You’re unlocking:

• Time freedom

• Creative momentum

• Data-backed decision making

• High-quality design without burnout

So if you’ve been stuck in creation mode or overwhelmed by everything you could be building, let The PLR Library help you launch faster, sell more, and scale smarter.

I wouldn’t have grown to $100K/month without it—and if you’re serious about building a passive income business selling digital products, it might just be the shortcut you need too.

Step 5: Sell on the right platform (hint: it’s not Etsy)

When most creators get started selling digital products, their instinct is to open an Etsy shop—and for good reason. Etsy is well-known, easy to join, and already has an established user base. But if your goal is to build a profitable, sustainable business selling digital products, you need to think beyond visibility.

Because here’s the hard truth most sellers won’t tell you: Etsy is expensive.

On the surface, those big Etsy revenue screenshots look impressive. But behind the scenes, sellers are losing a huge chunk of their earnings to fees, commissions, and platform policies.

The real cost of selling on Etsy

Let’s break down the numbers.

On Etsy, every time you make a sale, you’re hit with:

• $0.20 listing fee per product (even renewals count)

• 5% transaction fee on the item price

• 3% + $0.25 payment processing fee

• 12–15% offsite ad fees (if you earn over $10K/year, these are mandatory)

• Currency conversion fees if your buyer pays in a different currency

These charges add up quickly—especially when you’re selling low-ticket digital products like printables or planners.

When I was selling on Etsy, I regularly hit $6,000/month in gross revenue. But after all the platform fees, I was left with just $3,500 in actual profit. That’s over 40% of my earnings lost to a platform that marketed my products on its terms, not mine.

Why I switched to Temzli—and never looked back

I discovered Temzli in 2024, and it completely transformed how I run my digital product business. Temzli is a digital-product-only marketplace, built specifically for sellers like us—people who want to sell templates, printables, digital planners, and downloads without the stress of physical inventory or high platform fees.

And here’s why I recommend Temzli to every serious digital product seller:

1. No listing fees, no commissions

That’s right—you keep 100% of your sales. Whether you make $100 or $10,000, Temzli doesn’t take a cut. There are no listing fees, no renewal costs, and no hidden charges.

2. Built-in buyer traffic

Temzli’s marketplace is already optimized for people looking specifically for digital products. It’s not cluttered with handmade crafts or physical items. Your templates and printables are front and center—shown to the right audience, at the right time.

This is huge for new sellers who don’t yet have an email list, website, or social media following. You can start making sales without having to drive traffic yourself.

3. Affordable, predictable pricing

Instead of percentage-based fees, Temzli charges a flat $9.99/month for a vendor shop. That’s it. No surprise bills. And the first month? Just $1 to try it out risk-free.

Let’s do the math:
If you sell one $10 product per month, you’re already breaking even.
Sell five $10 printables, and you’re keeping 100% of $50, not $30 like on Etsy.

For high-volume sellers, this flat pricing becomes incredibly scalable. You’re not penalized for success.

4. Optimized for digital sellers

Temzli is purpose-built for selling digital products. That means:

• Digital file hosting is built in

• Product listings allow multiple file types

• You can upload PDFs, JPGs, Canva links, zip files, and more

• There’s no confusion for buyers—it’s clear that all products are digital-only

You’re not trying to make digital products work in a system designed for handmade jewelry. You’re in a platform tailored to your needs from day one.

Who is Temzli best for?

Temzli is the perfect solution for:

• New sellers who want a simple, low-risk way to test the digital product market

• Busy creators who don’t want to build an audience before making sales

• Freelancers or side hustlers looking for passive income without customer management headaches

• High-volume sellers who are tired of watching 30–40% of their revenue vanish in fees

Whether you’re selling party printables, ebook templates, clipart, or planners, Temzli gives you a professional storefront, a trusted marketplace, and a buyer-ready platform—all without the costs or complexity of Etsy.

What about your own website?

Once you’ve found product-market fit, made consistent sales, and built a small customer base, then yes—launching your own website is a fantastic next step.

Your website gives you:

• Full brand control

• The ability to collect emails and build a customer list

• Freedom to price, bundle, and promote however you like

• No competition or distractions from other sellers

But here’s the catch: websites require traffic.

If you don’t already have an audience (through blogging, Pinterest, YouTube, or email), your site won’t magically bring in buyers. That’s why I recommend starting on Temzli, where the traffic is already there.

Let your products prove themselves first—then build your website as a home base for loyal customers and repeat buyers.

Bonus: Temzli features that make life easier

Selling on Temzli comes with additional perks that many creators overlook:

• Upsell and cross-sell options (with Pro Plan): Boost your average order value with pre-set add-ons

• Customer messaging system: Handle inquiries professionally, without dealing with endless Etsy-style support requests

• Affiliate-friendly setup: Promote your products and earn more through influencer or blogger referrals

• SEO-optimized product pages: Better search visibility inside the Temzli ecosystem

And since Temzli is still growing, this is the best time to claim your niche before it becomes saturated. Early adopters always benefit the most—especially in a platform that’s creator-first.

Final thoughts: start smart and keep your profits

When you’re just getting started selling digital products, it’s easy to think bigger platforms are better. But bigger also means more competition, more fees, and more hoops to jump through.

Temzli offers a leaner, cleaner, and more profitable way to get your products in front of buyers—without losing control of your business in the process.

Here’s your action plan:

1. Open a Temzli shop for just $1 (your first month)

2. Upload your first few digital products—templates, printables, or planners

3. Let the platform’s built-in traffic start working for you

4. Watch your earnings grow—without losing 30–40% to fees

You can always build a website later. But if you’re looking for the fastest, most affordable way to start selling digital products profitably, Temzli is the platform I recommend—hands down.

Your designs deserve to shine—and your profits deserve to stay in your pocket.

Step 6: Increase revenue with bundles and upsells

Once your digital products are live and making sales, your next mission is simple: increase the value of each sale.

The easiest way to do that? Bundling, upselling, and cross-selling.

If you’ve been focused solely on creating single digital products—like a one-page planner or a party invitation template—you’re leaving serious money on the table. And the best part? You don’t need more traffic or customers to make more money—you just need to maximize what each customer is already willing to spend.

Let me walk you through exactly how I 2x–5x my revenue using strategic digital product bundling and upsell techniques—and how platforms like Temzli Pro make it effortless to implement.

Why bundling is a game-changer in digital product sales

Let’s say you’re selling a baby shower invitation template for $5. You’re getting consistent sales, great reviews, and positive feedback. That’s fantastic—but now imagine turning that $5 product into a $25 bundle that sells even better.

That’s exactly what I did.

Instead of offering just the invitation, I created a full event kit, including:

• Baby shower invitation

• Printable party games (e.g., “Guess the Baby Food,” “Mom or Dad?”)

• Welcome signs

• Diaper raffle cards

• Thank-you tags

• Editable menu cards

• Matching decor and favor labels

By packaging them together as a cohesive, on-theme set, I could raise the price point without adding significant production time. Customers appreciated the convenience and cohesion—and my average order value skyrocketed.

Why this works:

• Buyers are already planning an event—they need multiple assets

• They prefer products that “match” in style and theme

• Buying in bundles is easier (and often cheaper) than sourcing each piece individually

Bundling also builds perceived value. A $5 product may be seen as disposable, but a $25 party pack feels substantial and premium—even if it’s made from the same components.

Upsells: your digital cash machine

Bundling is just the start. Upselling allows you to offer a premium version of the product after the customer has already shown buying intent.

For example, a customer adds a $5 baby shower invitation to their cart. Instead of ending the sale there, I present them with a limited-time offer: a full deluxe bundle for just $14 more.

This upsell includes:

• Matching printable games

• A customizable welcome sign

• Printable party decor

• Editable Canva links

Since the buyer is already emotionally invested in the theme and design, they’re far more likely to say yes to the upgrade.

This tactic has helped me increase revenue by 25–40% on many listings—with zero additional ad spend or traffic.

Cross-sells: multiply your income from a single purchase

Cross-selling is another proven way to raise your income per customer. It involves offering related but distinct products that complement the main item in their cart.

Using the same baby shower example, once someone purchases an invitation or bundle, I recommend:

• A matching diaper raffle card

• A printable thank-you note

• A baby predictions card or other small printable add-on

• A social media template for baby announcements

Cross-sells are typically priced lower ($2–$5), but they add up quickly—and they help build a more complete experience for the customer.

When implemented correctly, both upsells and cross-sells:

• Improve customer satisfaction

• Create a higher perceived value

• Make you more revenue without added work

And when you combine all three strategies—bundles, upsells, and cross-sells—you create a system where each sale works harder for you.

How Temzli Pro makes upselling effortless

One of the main reasons I love Temzli Pro is because it includes built-in upsell and cross-sell functionality, right inside the product dashboard.

Here’s what you can do with Temzli Pro:

• Set up one-click upsells that appear after a customer adds something to their cart

• Configure smart cross-sell recommendations based on related product tags

• Create bundle discounts or limited-time upgrades without needing a third-party app

• Track performance metrics to see which offers convert best

This automation is critical if you want to scale your income without spending hours manually configuring sales pages or checkout flows. On marketplaces like Etsy, you can’t even add a proper upsell funnel—on Temzli, it’s just a few clicks.

And because Temzli only charges a flat monthly fee, any additional revenue you earn from upsells is 100% profit in your pocket.

Examples of bundle and upsell strategies that work

If you’re not sure how to start bundling or what to include in your upsells, here are some real examples from my own product lines:

Digital Planner Niche

• Core product: Daily productivity planner ($7)

• Upsell: Ultimate planner bundle with weekly, monthly, habit tracker, and goal-setting templates ($22)

• Cross-sell: Digital stickers or iPad-friendly note-taking templates ($3–$5)

Clipart Niche

• Core product: Fall floral clipart set ($9)

• Upsell: Seasonal clipart mega bundle (includes fall, winter, spring, summer) ($27)

• Cross-sell: Matching seamless patterns or card templates using the same illustrations ($5)

Party Printable Niche

• Core product: Birthday invitation ($5)

• Upsell: Full party set including games, banners, decor, and signage ($18)

• Cross-sell: Editable thank-you card or social media announcement template ($4)

These strategies don’t just increase profits—they also enhance the customer experience by giving them everything they need in one place.

Final thoughts: small tweaks, big income

One of the biggest myths in digital product selling is that you need more customers to earn more money. That’s simply not true.

What you really need is a system that increases the value of each customer—and that’s exactly what bundling, upselling, and cross-selling allows you to do.

With minimal effort, you can:

• Raise your average order value

• Offer premium versions of your existing products

• Turn $5 customers into $25+ buyers

• Build customer loyalty through thoughtful offers

And with Temzli Pro, you can do all of this automatically.

So as you grow your product catalog and sales volume, don’t just ask, “What can I sell next?”
Start asking, “How can I make each sale more valuable?”

The answer might be just one bundle, upsell, or cross-sell away from doubling your monthly income.

Step 7: Use high-quality product photos to increase conversions

In the world of digital products, first impressions are everything.

When a potential customer lands on your product page—whether on Etsy, Temzli, or your own website—the very first thing they see is the product image. And within seconds, they’ve made a judgment about the quality, style, and perceived value of what you’re offering.

Here’s the hard truth: even if your product is amazing—beautifully designed, functional, and packed with value—it won’t sell unless it looks the part.

That’s why product presentation isn’t just important—it’s absolutely essential to your success in selling digital products.

And if you’re still using flat screenshots or generic thumbnails, you’re likely losing sales without even realizing it.

Why mockups are the secret to higher conversion rates

Unlike physical products, digital products can’t be touched or experienced before purchase. That means your customers are relying 100% on visuals to understand:

• What the product looks like

• How it will function in their life

• Whether it matches their style or needs

And this is where mockups come in.

Mockups are high-resolution, realistic images that simulate what your digital product would look like if printed or displayed in real life. Whether it’s a baby shower invitation shown in a styled flat lay, or a digital planner displayed on an iPad with a stylus, mockups give customers that vital visual context.

This instantly builds trust, clarity, and desire.

And when done right, it can significantly boost your click-through rates, add-to-cart actions, and overall conversion rates—without changing a single thing about your product.

Why I use Creative Fabrica for all my mockups

While there are many places to find mockups online, I exclusively use Creative Fabrica for one simple reason: they offer the best combination of quality, variety, and licensing for digital product sellers.

Here’s what makes Creative Fabrica my go-to:

1. Thousands of premium mockups for every product type

Whether you sell:

• Printable invitations

• Wall art

• Digital planners

• Clipart bundles

• Journals and workbooks

• Business templates

• Sublimation designs

…you’ll find a mockup that fits.

They offer styled stock mockups, flat lays, minimalist studio shots, and real-life applications (e.g., mugs, tote bags, iPads, clipboards, and paper sheets) that are perfect for showing off your product in action.

2. Commercial license included

Every mockup you download from Creative Fabrica includes a full commercial license, meaning you can use it in your product listing images, promotional materials, social media, and more—without worrying about copyright issues.

This is critical if you’re building a professional brand and want to stay legally compliant while scaling.

3. Seamless integration with Canva

I download mockups from Creative Fabrica and upload them directly into Canva, where I can drag and drop my product images into frames, layer text, add branding elements, and build entire product display sets within minutes.

The combination of Creative Fabrica’s assets + Canva’s simplicity means I can create stunning product photos without hiring a photographer or using Photoshop.

4. Affordable, all-access pricing

With a monthly or yearly subscription, I get unlimited downloads, which means I can test different styles and layouts for various niches and seasons. Whether I need five mockups or fifty in a month, I never worry about additional costs.

It’s hands-down one of the most cost-effective investments I’ve made in my digital product business.

My exact workflow using Creative Fabrica mockups

Let me walk you through how I turn a basic digital product into a high-converting listing image using Creative Fabrica:

Step 1: Design your digital product

Whether it’s an invitation, a planner page, or a printable game, I first create the final product in Canva, then download it as a PNG or JPG.

Step 2: Browse Creative Fabrica’s mockup library

I search for a mockup that fits the tone of the product—boho, modern, minimal, rustic, seasonal, etc. For baby shower invites, I love clean, feminine flat lays with floral elements. For digital planners, I choose mockups that feature tablets or styluses.

Step 3: Download and upload to Canva

Once I’ve found the perfect mockup, I download it and upload it to Canva. I then drop my product design into the appropriate layer (e.g., invitation placeholder, iPad screen, framed artwork) and resize accordingly.

Step 4: Add branding elements

I might layer in a subtle logo, a call-to-action (“Instant Download”), or additional visual cues like icons or product highlights (e.g., “Editable in Canva,” “Print at Home”).

Step 5: Export and use in product listings

Finally, I export the image and upload it as the main listing photo on Temzli, Etsy, or my website.

The entire process takes 5–10 minutes, and the result is a polished, professional image that instantly builds buyer confidence.

Real results: how mockups boosted my sales

Before using Creative Fabrica mockups, my product photos were… fine. They were functional but flat—often just screenshots with basic text overlays. I thought they were “good enough.”

But once I started using realistic mockups, I saw immediate improvements:

• Higher click-through rates on my marketplace listings

• Better engagement on Pinterest and social media pins

• More favorites and saves on Temzli and Etsy

• A noticeable bump in conversion rates

Customers told me they loved how my products “looked premium” and how easy it was to imagine using them in their real lives. That kind of feedback—and those results—don’t happen by accident.

They happen when your visuals do the selling for you.

Best types of mockups for digital product niches

If you’re not sure where to start, here are some of the most effective mockup styles for common digital product categories:

• Planners and journals: iPad or notebook mockups with stylus, digital stickers, and aesthetic backgrounds

• Printables and invitations: Paper mockups, styled flat lays with envelopes, wedding decor setups

• Wall art and quotes: Frame mockups in living rooms, nurseries, or office desks

• Clipart bundles: Artistic flat lays with isolated PNG files, craft supplies, and design tools

• Business templates: Computer screen or tablet mockups, professional workspaces, clean desks

Use Creative Fabrica’s search function to filter by product type, orientation (horizontal or vertical), and even holiday or seasonal themes.

Final thoughts: polish your presentation, boost your profits

You’ve put in the work to create a great product. Now give it the presentation it deserves.

With Creative Fabrica mockups, you can elevate your product listings from amateur to professional in minutes—without needing to be a designer or photographer.

The result? More clicks, more conversions, and more revenue—just by showing your product in its best light.

If you’re ready to take your shop to the next level and start selling digital products like a pro, make Creative Fabrica part of your visual branding strategy. It’s a small investment with massive returns—and one of the best tools you can use to stand out in a competitive market.

Step 8: Optimize your product listings for SEO

You’ve created a stunning, high-value digital product. Your design is flawless. Your mockups are polished. Your pricing is competitive. But here’s the sobering truth: if people can’t find your product, they can’t buy it.

That’s where SEO (Search Engine Optimization) becomes your best friend—and one of the most powerful tools in your entire digital business toolkit.

Whether you’re selling on Temzli, Etsy, Creative Market, Gumroad, or your own website, SEO is what determines how and where your products show up in search results.

SEO is the difference between a product that’s buried on page 10 and one that sells daily on autopilot.

What is SEO (and why it matters for digital products)?

SEO is the process of optimizing your content—titles, descriptions, tags, file names, images, and more—so that it ranks higher in search engines or marketplace search bars when potential customers search for related terms.

If you’re selling digital products like:

• Planners

• Invitations

• Clipart

• Journals

• Templates

• Printable games

…your customers are actively searching for those products using specific keywords. And your goal is to show up for those searches—on Google, Pinterest, Etsy, or Temzli.

Unlike ads or social media, SEO delivers long-term, compounding visibility. Once your product is well-optimized, it can continue attracting traffic and generating passive income for months or even years—without needing to post daily or run expensive ads.

My complete SEO strategy for digital product listings

Over the years, I’ve fine-tuned a system that helps my listings rank consistently across platforms. Here’s exactly how I approach SEO for every single product I create:

1. Start with keyword research

Before I name, describe, or tag a product, I conduct thorough keyword research using tools like:

• Ahrefs: Great for identifying high-volume, low-competition search terms

• Etsy search autocomplete: Helps surface real-time, user-generated keywords

• EverBee: Shows what keywords top-performing listings are using

• Pinterest search bar: A powerful visual search engine with keyword-rich prompts

• Temzli marketplace search: Provides insights into trending tags and bestsellers

I look for:

• Primary keywords with high relevance and buying intent (e.g., “baby shower invitation template”)

• Secondary keywords and modifiers (e.g., “boho printable,” “editable Canva,” “neutral theme”)

• Niche-specific terms based on style, format, or event (e.g., “floral wedding sign,” “GoodNotes planner,” “teacher binder template”)

I save these keywords in a spreadsheet so I can track which ones I’ve used, which perform best, and how to repurpose them across similar products.

2. Write optimized product titles

Your product title is the most important SEO real estate you have—so make it count.

Instead of vague or overly creative titles like:

“Sweet Moments” or “Mama’s Invite”

I write keyword-rich, descriptive titles that match what buyers are actually searching for, like:

“Minimalist Baby Shower Invitation Template – Neutral Boho Theme – Editable Canva Download”

Tips for effective titles:

• Place the main keyword as close to the front as possible

• Add secondary keywords separated by dashes or vertical bars (|), without keyword stuffing

• Use natural language that’s still clear and search-friendly

3. Craft keyword-infused product descriptions

Your product description should do two things:

– Convert the buyer by clearly explaining the features and benefits

– Reinforce your SEO by including relevant keywords throughout the text

I break my descriptions into sections:

• Headline with keywords:

  “Editable Baby Shower Invitation Template | Neutral Boho Style | Instant Download”

• What’s included:

  One 5×7 Canva invitation template, PDF instruction guide, and bonus thank-you card

• Features:

  Editable in Canva, instant access, high-res print quality, perfect for at-home or professional printing

• Usage suggestions:

  Great for new moms, gender-neutral baby showers, printable invitations, or digital RSVPs

I naturally sprinkle in long-tail keywords like:

• “Editable Canva invitation”

• “Boho baby shower printable”

• “Instant download baby shower kit”

This not only helps with SEO but also mirrors what potential buyers are already searching for.

4. Add keyword-rich tags

Most marketplaces (Temzli, Etsy, etc.) allow 10–15 tags per listing. Use them wisely.

I use a combination of:

• Broad terms:

  “Baby Shower,” “Printable Invite,” “Digital Download”

• Specific terms:

  “Boho Baby Shower Invitation,” “Neutral Theme Invitation”

• Niche modifiers:

  “Editable Canva Template,” “Printable Baby Shower Game,” “Instant Download Invitation”

If you’re on Temzli, these tags help your product show up on the explore pages, in filtered categories, and in customer search results.

Pro tip: Don’t duplicate the exact phrase in every tag. Mix up the word order and use variations to expand your reach.

5. Rename your product images with keywords

This is one of the most overlooked aspects of SEO—and it matters a lot, especially on Google and Pinterest.

Before uploading product photos, I rename the file itself to include the main keyword. For example:

• Instead of: image1.jpg

• Use: boho-baby-shower-invitation-printable.jpg

This helps Google index your images correctly, which boosts your chances of showing up in image search results—a major traffic source for digital products.

Do this for every photo and mockup you upload.

6. Use keywords in your file names and download links

Yes, even your actual product file names matter!

When you upload your Canva template PDF or ZIP file, name it something like:

• editable-baby-shower-template.pdf

• boho-planner-goodnotes-bundle.zip

This creates a consistent SEO trail across your entire listing—and also improves customer experience, since the files are clearly labeled.

7. Think beyond the marketplace: optimize for Google and Pinterest too

Platforms like Temzli and Etsy have built-in search systems, but you can multiply your traffic by also optimizing for external search engines like Google and Pinterest.

Here’s how:

• Pin your product with a keyword-rich description on Pinterest

• Share the product link on your blog (if you have one), using the target keyword in your post

• Write a short article or description on Medium, Tumblr, or LinkedIn that links back to your product page

• Use descriptive URLs (if on your own site), like /printables/baby-shower-invitation-template

Google loves text—and the more places your keywords appear, the more likely your product will rank.

Final thoughts: SEO is your passive traffic engine

Creating beautiful products is only half the job. The other half? Making sure people can find them.

SEO allows your digital product listings to work for you 24/7, attracting buyers even while you sleep. It’s not a one-time task—it’s a repeatable system you apply to every listing, every time.

Once you master SEO for your shop, you’ll:

• Gain consistent traffic without paid ads

• Build organic momentum on marketplaces

• Increase visibility on Pinterest and Google

• Boost your long-term, passive income potential

If you’re serious about scaling your income by selling digital products, there’s no better place to start than with smart, search-focused optimization.

Because even the best product in the world can’t succeed if no one ever sees it. Let SEO be your visibility engine—and watch your digital storefront grow on autopilot.

Step 9: Add a print-on-demand partner for bonus income

Selling digital products is an incredible way to earn scalable, passive income—but what if I told you there’s a way to layer in another revenue stream using the same exact products, without creating anything new?

That’s the power of partnering with a print-on-demand (POD) service—specifically, one that offers affiliate commissions for referring your digital product customers to their print shop.

Think of it as earning twice from the same product:

1. First, from the initial digital product sale.

2. Then again, from the customer who decides to print your product using your recommended printer.

It’s a simple, low-effort strategy that adds a new layer of passive income—and it works beautifully with any printable product, including:

• Invitations

• Party games

• Event signage

• Wall art

• Gift tags

• Business cards

• Certificates

• Printable planners

Why Print-on-Demand Partnerships make sense for digital product sellers

Here’s the logic:

When someone buys a printable from your shop, there’s a good chance they’ll want to print it professionally. Yes, some will print at home, but many prefer the crisp quality and convenience of professional printing—especially for weddings, baby showers, anniversaries, and special occasions.

Rather than leaving them to search on their own, why not recommend a trusted printer and earn a commission in the process?

That’s where PrintsofLove comes in.

What is PrintsofLove?

PrintsofLove is an eco-friendly online print shop that specializes in printing high-quality designs for customers of digital sellers.

They’re known for:

• Vibrant, professional-grade print quality

• Fast turnaround times

• Sustainable materials and carbon-neutral shipping

• A seamless process that integrates perfectly with digital downloads

But the best part for digital product sellers? Their affiliate program.

How the PrintsofLove Affiliate Program works

As a seller, you can sign up to become a PrintsofLove affiliate and gain access to:

• A custom referral link unique to your shop or brand

• A discount code you can share with customers for a small percentage off their order

• Affiliate commission (typically around 10%) every time a customer uses your referral link to print a product they purchased from you

This means:

• Your customers get a better printing experience

• They save money using your discount

• You earn passive income without doing any extra work

It’s a win-win-win.

Where to promote your POD partner links

To turn this into a reliable recurring income stream, you want to integrate your PrintsofLove (or other POD partner) referral links strategically and consistently throughout your customer journey.

Here’s where I add them:

1. Product Descriptions

Right on the product listing page, I add a sentence like:

“Need your printable professionally printed? I recommend PrintsofLove for fast, eco-friendly printing. Use code XYZ10 to save 10%!”

This works especially well on platforms like Temzli, Etsy, and Gumroad, where product descriptions are key real estate for upsells and service suggestions.

2. PDF Downloads

When the customer downloads their file, I include a small banner or footer in the PDF that says:

“Want this printed and shipped to your door? Visit my recommended printer at [PrintsofLove link] and use code XYZ10 for a discount!”

You can do this in Canva, Adobe, or any design tool—just hyperlink the referral URL.

3. Thank-You Pages or Email Follow-Ups

If you’re delivering your digital product via an online storefront or email, use the thank-you page or confirmation email to suggest printing options.

Example email blurb:

“Your download is ready! If you’d like to have your printable professionally printed, we recommend [PrintsofLove]. Use our exclusive link below to get started—and enjoy a 10% discount as our thank-you gift!”

4. On your website or blog

If you have a blog, FAQ page, or digital resource hub, create a section called “How to Print Your Files” or “Recommended Print Services” and link your referral URL prominently.

The more places your affiliate link lives, the more chances you have to earn recurring commissions.

Real-world example: How this works in practice

Let’s say you sell a $9 baby shower invitation on Temzli. A customer downloads it and loves the design—but doesn’t want to deal with printing it at home.

They see your PrintsofLove link in the PDF, click through, and order 25 printed invitations for $35.

You earn:

• $9 from the original product sale

• $3.50 from the print affiliate commission (at 10%)

That’s $12.50 total from one customer, with no extra work on your end. Multiply that by 20–50 customers a month, and you’re adding hundreds in recurring income—completely passively.

Additional POD Affiliate Partners you can explore

While PrintsofLove is my personal favorite due to their niche focus and seller tools, here are a few other affiliate-friendly POD services you may want to explore:

• Zazzle – Offers affiliate tools for sellers and a massive catalog of print services

• Vistaprint – Trusted brand with templates for business cards, signage, and brochures

• Gelato – Global print partner with integration for Shopify, great for international buyers

• Printify & Printful – Offer affiliate programs, though more focused on physical product creators

Choose the one that aligns with your niche and audience, and test what converts best.

Final Thoughts: Turn every sale into a long-term profit stream

As a digital product seller, your main job is to maximize the value of each customer interaction. And POD affiliate partnerships let you do just that—by offering your customers something helpful, while building another stream of recurring income.

And because you’re recommending a service your buyer actually needs, it feels natural, ethical, and helpful, not salesy or forced.

To recap:

1. Sign up for the PrintsofLove affiliate program

2. Create your custom referral link and discount code

3. Add your link across product descriptions, downloads, and thank-you pages

4. Start earning affiliate commissions on top of your product sales

You already did the hard work of designing and selling the digital product—now let your print-on-demand partner do the rest, while you earn more passively.

If you’re selling printables and not yet monetizing the printing side of your customer’s journey, you’re leaving money on the table. Start today, and turn every download into a new opportunity to grow your income.

Selling digital products is your best income opportunity

If you’ve made it this far, you already understand one thing:

Selling digital products isn’t just another online hustle—it’s the most scalable, sustainable, and flexible income model available today.

It doesn’t require a warehouse, inventory, or physical logistics.
You don’t need to show your face, film videos, or become an influencer.
And no—you don’t need a six-figure email list or a million followers on Instagram.

What you do need is a system. A repeatable, data-driven, trend-aware approach that lets you:

• Identify what people are already searching for

• Create beautiful, functional products that solve real problems

• Leverage platforms that don’t eat away your profits

• Optimize your listings for long-term visibility

• Multiply your earnings with strategic upsells and partnerships

This is exactly how I went from experimenting with a few Canva templates to building a digital product business that now generates $100K/month in mostly passive income.

And the best part? Anyone can do this—with the right tools and a willingness to learn.

Selling digital products = freedom

You’re not just creating products—you’re building digital assets that can pay you again and again, long after the initial work is done.

Imagine:

• Waking up to new orders without posting a thing on social media

• Earning affiliate commissions every time a customer prints your file

• Watching your income grow month after month—even while you’re offline

This kind of freedom is possible, and it starts with a clear, smart strategy.

Your 7-step roadmap to passive income success

If you’re serious about creating real income streams from digital products, follow this proven framework:

1. Choose a profitable product category
Focus on niches with high demand and recurring customer needs—like invitations, planners, clipart, and printables.

2. Validate your ideas using keyword tools
Use Ahrefs, EverBee, or Pinterest trends to confirm that people are searching (and buying) the products you plan to sell.

3. Use templates and mood boards to create faster
Save time by using PLR templates from The PLR Library. Customize them using mood boards based on trending design styles.

4. Sell on a platform that doesn’t eat your profits
Skip Etsy’s endless fees and open your shop on Temzli, where you keep 100% of your earnings. Let built-in traffic work for you while you scale.

5. Bundle, upsell, and cross-sell to grow your order value
Don’t just sell one file—offer complete experiences, and use tools like Temzli Pro to automate upgrades and related product suggestions.

6. Optimize with SEO and stunning visuals
Make sure your listings are search-engine ready. Use tools like Creative Fabrica to elevate your product images with beautiful mockups.

7. Layer in affiliate income from print partners
Recommend a trusted print-on-demand service like PrintsofLove and earn extra income from every customer who chooses to print your digital files professionally.

This isn’t theory. It’s the exact process I used to grow my shop—and it works.

Still not sure where to start?

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t worry. The key is to start simple and build momentum.

Here’s what I recommend:

• Start with Temzli: It’s the easiest way to launch your digital storefront without tech overwhelm or brutal fees.

• Download products from The PLR Library: Get access to trend-backed templates, editable designs, and monthly inspiration so you never run out of product ideas.

• Pick one product to launch this week: Just one. Choose something evergreen and valuable—like a planner, party kit, or digital tracker.

Remember, this business doesn’t reward perfection—it rewards action, consistency, and smart strategy.

Your passive income journey starts now

Whether your goal is to make an extra $500/month to pay bills, $5,000/month to quit your job, or $50,000/month to build true financial freedom—selling digital products can take you there.

Not overnight. Not without effort. But with a system, the right tools, and a willingness to learn, it’s absolutely possible.

So take the first step today.

• Open your Temzli shop

• Choose your first product idea

• Start building the digital business that pays you to live life on your own terms

Because the best time to start was yesterday.
The second-best time? Right now.
