Why are Printables Important?

Every online business can benefit form creating printables, even a physical product business. Printables are a great way to grow your email list. Once upon a time people signed up to your list just to become a part of your email newsletter, but it’s not that easy anymore. You need to provide some type of incentive to get someone to sign up.

That is where printables come in!

I opened an Etsy shop about 5 years ago with the intention of selling physical products, but soon realized that if I started selling digital products along side of them I could increase my income. And so it went… Now I love creating digital products and divide my time between creating the two.

You can create beautiful printables like these free kid’s chore charts I have available in my resource library.

What are Printables?

Printables are digital files that can be downloaded and printed over and over again. They can provide entertainment and education to their users and become a source of income for you.

But they don’t have to be a source of entertainment or education. Printables can be anything you can imagine and put to paper.

Getting Started

Getting started with printables doesn’t have to be expensive. I started with the Microsoft Office suite, and the free version of Canva. Now I mostly use Canva (the pro version).

Other Programs You Can Use

• Adobe Illustrator
• Photoshop
• Google Docs
• PowerPoint – Part of Microsoft Office suite
