Get ready to start a side-hustle that is a billion-dollar market for a reason. Selling digital products and printables for kids is not only easy and fun, it can be life changing! When I started selling escape rooms and digital products and games, I had no idea that I would make more than a million dollars in my business. Learn how to start selling digital downloads and why it’s the right side-hustle for you.
Why should you start a side-hustle selling digital products and printables for kids?
From massive market potential in this billion dollar industry to reaching parents, teachers, and kids who need your creative products, selling digital products is the way to go! Making money has never been easier, and it’s so much fun to get started selling printables for kids.
Make Money with Printables
The first reason to start selling digital products for kids is to make some money (eventually passive income). Digital downloads are a billion dollar industry, so why not cash in? Printables for kids have little to no overhead. If you have a Canva or Powerpoint account, you can start making printables.
Etsy is a low-cost (just listing fees), low-risk platform that allows the revenue to come in without creating your own shop or platform. Of course, products like escape rooms (especially with ready-to-use, customizable templates for your Etsy shop) are hot in homeschools and traditional classrooms. There are so many people looking for your printables for kids!
The best part about making money selling digital products and printables for kids is the opportunity for passive income. Once you create your printables and list them on Etsy, they can sell again and again. . .and you just watch the dollars come in!
Educational and Creative Benefits
In addition, selling digital products and printables for kids means you’re providing a service for students, teachers, and families that are looking for high quality, engaging learning activities! For example, escape rooms foster learning through critical thinking, and focus on different content areas. This makes these printables for kids perfect for review or introducing new material. What teacher or homeschool parent isn’t looking for digital products that help reach their learning goals?
Flexibility and Accessibility
Another great thing about a digital product side-hustle is that you can do it anywhere you have an internet connection. Everyone is going towards remote work, and when you have your own digital business, it’s so easy to work from home. I’ve enjoyed selling digital products while I am on vacation. The sales for the printables for kids come in while I am able to relax and enjoy time with my family.
The flexibility of selling digital products is second to none. Since you are the boss, there is no micromanager. No one is telling you what to do every single day. With your digital product side-hustle, you are in charge!
Of course, when you’re first making digital products and printables for kids, it’s an active pursuit. You’ll put in some hours creating and listing your products. However, with the escape rooms course, I make it easy for you to start creating and listing right away.
How do you start a side-hustle selling digital products and printables for kids?
Have I convinced you to get started selling digital products? The why is clear, but how do you start your side-hustle? Here are some easy tips to get started selling printables for kids.
Identify Your Target Market
To begin, decide who your audience is. My target market is teachers and homeschool parents. That’s why escape rooms and scavenger hunts are so successful. This niche is perfect for parents and teachers looking for an engaging way to introduce and review content with their learners. Knowing your target market is the first step in making money selling digital products! Yours may be entirely different. Perhaps, you want to create escape rooms for family consumer science classes (Home Ec) or sleepovers for kids. The sky’s the limit!
Create Your Digital Products and Printables for Kids
Next, start creating your products. I recommend using Canva or Powerpoint to create your printables. In the escape room course, you’ll learn Powerpoint tips and tricks and your guide to creating in Canva. Using templates is the easiest way to get started and customize for your audience. For example, there are so many options when it comes to creating escape rooms. In fact, in the escape room course, there are 20 templates and 38,760 unique escape room combinations. You can differentiate printables for kids for different age groups and content areas.
Build a Digital Storefront
Another step in how to start selling digital products is to set up your shop. Sure, you could host your own store on a website, but why not utilize Etsy? Etsy brings the traffic to you. Learn how to set up keywords and high quality products through the escape room course, and your Etsy store will be making sales in no time.
Marketing and Promotion
Once you’ve created your digital products and listed on Etsy, you can start marketing. Some creators like using social media. (TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook are favorites for digital creators.) However, using Etsy marketing tools for keyword research is your first priority. Learn more about keywords in the escape room course.
Managing Customer Relationships
What keeps my escape room customers coming back is the high quality products. However, if I just kept the same old things up without creating new ones, eventually they would find the next big thing, right? Once the templates are set up, it’s fast and easy to keep selling digital products and escape rooms to your customers. Ask them what they want. Build community by responding to emails or social media posts.
Selling digital products and printables for kids has never come at a better time. The industry is at an all time high (read-billions of dollars), and the market is not saturated! There is room for every idea, every niche, and even in the same type of printable (i.e. escape games) there are tens of thousands of possibilities. Your first step is to get started creating with the Easy escape room course. Get on the waitlist and start selling digital products and printables for kids. It could change your life!
