1) The “set it and forget it” dynamic (no shipping)!

2) The “do the work once and get paid over and over” dynamic (no inventory)!

Think about it...the creator selling “printables” has NO shipping, NO inventory, and NO physical production costs, yet they can STILL express their creativity in ways that benefit others! It’s a pretty sweet deal if you ask me!

Printables have been created and downloaded for years...well before Etsy opened their doors to them. But Etsy’s foray into that market unleashed the creativity of thousands of makers in ways that expanded printable opportunities in many amazing ways!

In my own research, I have identified THREE primary and popular types of printables:

• Displayables: These are printables meant for display or for use in craft projects. Examples would be downloadable art and photography, type-based designs, games, cards, etc.

• Editables: These printables are meant to be edited and customized by the end-user before being printed on their own printer or by a service. Custom invitations, forms, and recipe card templates are popular examples.

• Cutables: This category of printables is geared toward craft projects that require cutouts, Cricut and Silhouette, cutters, laser engravers and cutters, CNC machines, etc. Handmade packaging, vinyl cutouts, and fabric-based projects top the category in popularity.

The BEST part of creating and selling printable is that they don’t require a lot of expensive or specialty software! And, when you bring Public Domain images into the mix, that just amps up the possibilities exponentially!

After MANY requests, I am putting together a deep-dive, in-depth training on Printables as the FIRST course in a brand-new series! As you might suspect, there will be a module for EACH of the three Printables categories! During the “over-my-shoulder” demos of each Module, I will create multiple Printables products, beginning-to-end, and then give you access to ALL the source files so that you can follow along and create the SAME products yourself. That way, you can learn by doing by simply following the same steps I share during the training! As you discover each creation method (they will be simple and straightforward), you will be armed with the methodology to then create your OWN printables to sell on Etsy, your own website, etc.

In this brand-new, 3-Module, game-changing training, we will cover...
