How to Find Your Design Niche6:57
There are so many different kinds of content niches you can focus on when designing templates. Here are just a few niches to consider and get inspired by:

The Value of Specializing2:17

Where to Sell: Platform Options10:09

The Importance of Good Product Images7:49

Learn how to craft effective product descriptions with keyword-rich titles, clear inclusions, and bundles for Canva templates, and optimize descriptions through platform-specific keyword research.
Pricing Your Templates5:13
Important note: remember that you are pricing for the long term. Would it be a bummer to spend the time to design 100 social media templates that you sold for only $29? Sure. That might not be worth it if you only sell them once. But, (just as an example!), what if you sell that same pack 7 times a month for 3 years? That would mean that you made a lot more from this pack. And that would probably feel like it was totally worth the time it took to design 100 templates. These sales numbers are only used as an example to illustrate that you have to think of the pricing spread over repeat sales. Because passive sales coming in over time is the goal of this kind of business!
Pro Tip: An Easy Way to Increase Order Value2:28
Increase your average order value by using bundles of Canva templates, listing individual packs separately, and highlighting value through bundled pricing for course creators.
New Option: Sell Directly on Canva2:34
Explore selling templates directly on Canva through the creators program to earn passive income, including design elements and education-themed templates for teachers, plus cross-platform opportunities.
Driving Traffic for More Sales11:16
Drive traffic to your Canva templates to boost sales on platforms like Etsy or Creative Market, using Pinterest for evergreen reach, Facebook groups, YouTube, and affiliates.
