Best types of digital products you can create in Canva to make your first $1000 in online income

Canva is an amazing tool that allows you to create digital products for your blog, online business and more – including digital products you can sell.

I’ve made over $300k/year selling digital products in a membership that I market on my blog and social media. (No paid ads). I can say from experience that creating unique digitial products in Canva is the easiest way to do it. It’s fast, easy, affordable and you don’t have to have design skills.

The great thing about Canva is they have an amazing free account option. I didn’t upgrade my Canva until I was already making money in my business. Plus, as a digital product creator, you can choose and use millions of free elements to assist you in building your digital products, and because Canva is so user friendly, the elements are also extremely simple to find, place, customize them to your liking. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the different types of digital products you can create in Canva and where you can sell them.

Make eBooks 

If you’re a blogger, an eBook is a great way to monetize your blog. It can be a stand-alone product that sells for as little as $7 or as much as $97, or it can be bundled with other products (like a video course) for more.

You can also sell eBooks you’ve made in Canva on platforms like Amazon —and even sell them directly from your own website. This makes it easy for people who aren’t familiar with Canva to learn how to use the service quickly and easily see what it has to offer!

Social Media Canva Templates

Social templates made in Canva make up the majority of how I make an online income. Over the past few years, we’ve averaged over $300k in revenue with our Canva template membership.

In my opinion, Social media graphics are a great way to get started with designing your own digital products. Once you’ve designed a Canva template, you share the template link and the end user would access the template you made right in Canva.

As long as you use free elements, the end user would only need a free Canva account to access it.

Other Canva Templates

In addition to the templates we discussed above, there are many other Canva templates that you can make as digital products. Some of these include:

• Business cards
• Flyers
• Postcards 
• Presentations
• Posters
• Invitations and more!

Workbooks

Workbooks are a great first project if you’re new to Canva. They’re easy to make and they can be used in a variety of ways. Workbooks are also a perfect fit for more experienced users who want to create longer projects that include text, images and video clips. You can do this by adding pages within the workbook and then creating separate designs for each one—you don’t have to use the same template throughout!

Planners and Pintable’s Made in Canva

With Canva, you can create planners and calendars in a variety of formats. You can choose between monthly or weekly layouts, as well as different sizes and themes to suit your specific needs. If you’re looking for something more simple, you can also make to-do lists or checklists that are perfect for keeping track of your daily tasks and responsibilities.

Designs Made in Canva for Print on Demand Products

You can also create products that are available for print on demand. This means you can create designs in Canva and then set up an account with a POD service to have them printed and shipped out to customers. There are a number of different types of POD services, but the most popular ones include:

Printful

Printify
