How I Make Passive Income on Etsy

I started my Etsy Party Decorations business because I love to craft and plan parties. Everyone was always telling me to go for it, since I did it for so many people for free. So when I finally started my business and had success on Etsy, it was pretty thrilling. It was kind of crazy that people were actually paying me to create things that I loved to do for free anyway!

Fast forward a year or so, and I realized it was turning out to be A LOT of work. And not just a lot of work, but a lot of work that didn’t pay very well. Many Etsy Party Decorations businesses are selling their decorations for such small amounts, that it makes it hard to compete. You either have to have more time in the day, or more hands to help you.

Since I was a one-woman shop, getting more hands wasn’t a possibility. And, since I was a mom with a full-time job in addition to my party decorations business, more time wasn’t a possibility either.

That was about the time that I decided to make the switch to digital. Switching to printable party decorations, as opposed to printed and shipped party decorations has certifiably changed my business and my life. Remember how I wanted more time and more help? I get the best of both worlds now that I make passive income with party decorations on Etsy.

The Best Ways to Make Passive Income on Etsy

Making passive income on Etsy doesn’t stop at party decorations! If you’re interested in creating a passive income stream from Etsy, I have some great ideas for you to get started.

  • Resumes
  • Business Cards (I created these Thank you Business Cards for Etsy and Poshmark Owners)
  • Brochures
  • Flyers
  • Branding Kits
  • Website Templates
  • Etsy Shop Templates
  • Logos

Use Your Specialized Talents

Here’s the thing, you might have a very unique talent that I can’t even think of right now because, well, I don’t have that talent! And that’s what makes YOU special. Here’s a few things I thought of off the top of my head that you could sell to make passive income if you have a special skill or talent. Of course, the options are endless! Below are some examples:

  • Stock Photography
  • Hand Lettering
  • Patterns
  • Audio Files
  • Sewing Patterns
  • Knitting Patterns
  • Cricut SVGs
  • Scrapbooking

Using Your Higher Self to Make Passive Income on Etsy

All that said, what is the BEST way to make passive income on Etsy? Well, that depends on YOU of course! You see, once you get started on a business, you’ll have to keep at it in order to start making passive income. What you should be focusing on is how you can best bring your skills and talents into the world to create value for others.

Because believe it or not, you are here for a purpose! And I’m guessing if you’re reading this, you’re thinking that making beautiful or helpful things for others could be one of those purposes in your life. You know that not only could it be fun for you, but creating something to share with the world online could also bring in some cash.

Focusing on how you can bring those two things together – doing what you’re passionate about and bringing value to others – is your sweet spot! When those two things come together, that’s how you will know that the activity is the right idea for you!  

Aligning to those two things, connects you to your higher self and realizing one of the purposes you have here on earth. As you start to align to your purpose, things will come together. New opportunities will start popping up for you.

For example, you had an idea to make passive income today, and you came across my blog! That is no coincidence my friend. Therefore, your higher self is telling you that you want something more in your life.

And maybe printables is that thing for you. If that’s the case, I say, go for it! You won’t regret following your intuition!

I absolutely loved starting my creative business as well! But here’s the thing! I got totally burnt out!

(Canyou relate!?)

It wasn’t long ago that I didn’t make money unless I was literally cutting, gluing and shipping my products to customers.

Now that I’ve switched to digital products, I don’t have to worry about doing any of that and I make MORE money than when I had my handmade business.

What!?

I’m so glad I switched. And I want to help you do it too!
