Digital Product is an easygoing way to have your own small business. And Etsy is one of the most popular selling sites. If you’re interested in starting a Printable Business on Etsy. The following list provides you with some product inspiration to help you choose your starting products. Let’s read on to get inspired and create your online income!
Why you should sell on Etsy? Etsy is one of the most popular selling sites. Lots of people look on Etsy to buy Digital and Printable Products, for instance, wall decor, handmade, digital notes, etc. It has its own vast customer base.
For small entrepreneurs, if it is too expensive to set up their own website and maintain security, Etsy provides a free sales platform. Yes, there are no upfront costs for selling on Etsy.
Then you simply need to utilize existing tools or online resources like Canva to create printables, package them and put them on Etsy. You can start your online sales journey for free and start earning extra money.
I collect several popular options to provide you with inspiration for your online business.
1. Digital Planner
This is a mature and widespread product.
The Digital Planner mentioned here isn’t just limited to daily, weekly, and monthly planners. It’s a comprehensive set of planning sheets that includes a health plan, a diet plan, an expense and income sheet, and more.
The more comprehensive the planner’s functions, the higher the price it can fetch. The high-end price range typically falls between $10 – $20 (for highly customized functions), while the majority are priced between $2 – $5. It all depends on the level of detail in your production.
This doesn’t mean you must launch a very powerful and complete version right from the start. Even basic versions of Digital Planners with excellent functional structures can still achieve good sales.
2. Planner Stickers
I’d consider it a sister product to the Digital Planner.
When using a Digital Planner, many people like to enhance the visuals, especially since they’re not artists or just want to save time. That’s why rely on a variety of decorative stickers to enrich the design.
3. Project of Planner and Checklists
Sometimes users don’t need all those extra items, so they’re not willing to pay a higher price for a full digital planner that includes a variety of templates. They only want to buy specific templates that meet their needs, whether it’s just a single sheet of paper or a complete booklet.

- Meal planner
- Cleaning checklists
- Self-care Checklists

- Daily Shopping list
4. Christmas, Valentine and Holiday Printables
Like prints or cards made for Christmas, Valentine’s Day and other major holidays.
When I wrote the main article in February, Valentine’s cards were trending in popular searches for printable items.
As for Christmas, it’s a product that typically sells in large quantities when the holiday approaches. However, even now in February, it still maintains a certain sales volume, appearing sporadically on the page.

How profitable is selling printables on Etsy?
Beginners can make $100 to $1,000 per month selling on Etsy.
A Etsy Seller Rachel Jimenez makes $9,500 a month on average selling printable planners and seasonal templates. But she also mentioned that during her part-time period, only bringing in about $50 a month.
Etsy holds great potential for earning money, depending on how effectively you utilize and invest in it.
Moreover, many creators opt to start a blog, creating a space where they can engage more directly with users. This not only enhances business prospects but also bridges the gap with users, fostering brand loyalty and serving as a promotional tool.
Finally, I also don’t deny that you must have the corresponding skills to create the above digital products. Although starting from scratch is not difficult, it’s not necessarily easy either.
However, if you’re in the design field or possess relevant skills, you can truly start from scratch without spending a dime.
If you still need to learn skills, self-study is indeed a way to start from scratch, but it may prolong the startup time. You can invest a small amount in yourself to learn some design aesthetics and tool usage first.
Wish you find your passion, start your career and move towards success.
