10 ways to MAKE MONEY ONLINE using CANVA 💰

About this video

Kate Hayes presents 10 ways to make money online with Canva, a free design tool with built-in photos, elements, and fonts. 1) Affiliate income via Pinterest: write blog posts weaving in affiliate links (e.g. Amazon), then design Pins in Canva from templates to drive traffic to the posts, respecting Canva’s separate free and Pro content licences. 2) Lead magnets: create a free resource guide, checklist, or cheat sheet in Canva, download it as a PDF, and deliver it via a landing-page form through a provider such as ConvertKit or Leadpages to grow an owned email list to sell to. 3) Sell Canva templates (business, social media, homeschool, editable invitations): build from scratch using only free elements, share via Canva’s template link embedded in a deliverable PDF, and sell on Etsy, Creative Market, or Shopify. 4) Print on demand with providers such as Printify and Printful: combine elements into an original design, download as a transparent PNG, and let the provider print and ship products like shirts, mugs, and tote bags. 5) Printable wall art: start at the correct size, download at high resolution (PDF Print gives 300 DPI), and sell as an instant download. 6) Custom business branding packages: logo, sub-logo, business cards, flyers, and social assets made to a buyer’s brief, noting Canva stock content cannot be trademarked. 7) Social media videos: film a reel, edit it in Canva at the preset size with text, elements, and music, and add a call to action. 8) Ebooks: brainstorm and draft with ChatGPT, format in Canva at US Letter size, and sell the PDF on Etsy, Amazon, or your own site. 9) Customised gifts via print on demand, updating names, dates, or coordinates per order using Etsy’s personalisation field. 10) Printable trackers and planners (productivity, wedding, Christmas, habit trackers) sold as instant-download PDFs. She also promotes two free resources: a master list of over 100 digital product ideas and a free 45-minute masterclass, Digital Product Powerhouse, covering her four-step system.

Key takeaways

  • Drive affiliate sales by designing Pinterest Pins in Canva that link to blog posts containing your affiliate links
  • Grow an email list with a Canva-made lead magnet (guide, checklist, or cheat sheet) delivered as a PDF via a landing page
  • Sell Canva templates by sharing the template link inside a deliverable PDF; build from scratch and use only free elements so buyers without Pro can access everything
  • Use print on demand (e.g. Printify, Printful) for physical products and customised gifts, combining elements into original designs exported as transparent PNGs
  • Printable wall art, ebooks, and trackers/planners are create-once instant downloads; start at the right size and export print files at 300 DPI
