Rethinking Passive Income: The Underrated Power of Digital Printables


Ever find yourself researching side hustles,only to be met with complex schemes or saturated markets? I recently delved into an concept that elegantly sidesteps the usual hurdles: creating and selling digital printables.


It’s far more sophisticated than it might sound. This isn't just about cute checklists; it's a legitimate business model with some compelling advantages:


1 – You Can Sell Printables Over & Over

Printables are truly a “once and done” thing. You make it once, and then you sell it over and over again. So in that way it's true passive income.


If you take the time to make a bunch of printables and get them selling well, you'll be working way less in the future.


Printables also generally don't require much updating like an e-book or e-course might.


2 – There is a Big Market For Printables

If you think that most people prefer to do all their list-making, record-keeping, and organizing online now without a hard copy, think again.


I will admit that I fall into the former category. I am not a person who enjoys writing things out, and I prefer to do everything online or via apps when possible.


But there are so many people who simply do not trust that their information, lists, and other data is safe online and really just need that hard copy! A LOT of people are still that way.


So as long as there are people who want to print something out that they can write on/fill in the blanks and then hang on their fridge, store in a folder, keep in their car, etc., there are people who will want to buy your printables.


3 – Printables Are Not That Hard to Make

You do not need a degree in graphic design to make a printable.


Pretty much anyone who is capable of learning how to use the simple, drag and drop, template-filled image design sites made specifically for people without graphic design skills (think Canva which is my favorite, or PicMonkey) can make printables!


I will admit you do need to be tech-savvy enough to figure out how to use the tools on these sites, but it's way easier than something like Photoshop.



4 – There Are Lots Of Places To Sell Printables Online

The most obvious site you can use to sell printables is Etsy. But you don't have to stop there. You can sell them on Gumroad (like me), set up a Shopify store for them, or just sell them directly from a website you create yourself.


As a newbie, you would be smart to start off listing on Etsy or a similar marketplace since they help drive traffic to your offerings.


Some people even advertise their printables for sale on Facebook groups and other social media sites where it's allowed!



5 – Printables Are a Great Outlet For Your Creativity

If you like brainstorming and coming up with out-of-the-box ideas, creating printables would be a great way for you to do that.


There are some obvious types of printables that most people would create — grocery list printables, vacation packing lists, calendars, schedules — but you will stand out from the crowd if you think of some other types of printables people might like that not everyone else is doing.



In Conclusion

Despite the reasons I've given you, you may still decide creating and selling printables online is not the business venture or side-gig for you.


There are of course disadvantages to everything, and selling printables is no exception. There is a learning curve and it's not an overnight success for most people.


But if you are thinking it might be for you and you want to read a little more about making money with printables, you can get a free e-book from Julie and Cody of Gold City Ventures. They are in the business of helping other people get their Etsy printable businesses going!


If you're a creator, organizer, or aspiring digital entrepreneur looking for a lean, high-potential project, this is a model worth your analysis.


The article I’ve linked breaks down the fundamentals with exceptional clarity and is a genuinely useful resource for anyone curious.
