Can we agree on something?
Canva is simply the best!
Starting with the fact that it is entirely free.
Also, there is so much that one can do with it.
And better still it is a great tool to earn money from.
Before we get started, I will mention 4 ways to generate income with Canva if I am a beginner and can start easily.
1. Create And Sell Canva Products
When it comes to selling products of any sort, there are several avenues in Canva; however, the scope become that much wider.
Through Canva’s free template library, there is technically no need to start with nothing whatsoever.
There are resources and assets that you need to take a few steps to gain a profitable return on investment by starting with:
- Fonts
- Colours
- Graphics
- Animation
After you have made your products, there are technically two forms in which you can offer your Canva products.

You can either generate a shareable template link.
Or
You can save these products or resources in a PDF format; both formats are useful in their rights; finding a suitable application to apply is merely the goal.
Usually, many will understand a printable to be a PDF version as it accurately displays your product flawlessly.
Still, a template link allows you to share editable versions of your products through Canva, which also has greater scope.
There are a lot of Canva digital products that you could create and sell as passive income.
This includes planners, journals, trackers, kids’ printables, eBooks, course slide decks, branding templates, marketing templates, and many more.
Apart from that, selling your Canva digital products is also very easy. This can be done through online markets, including Etsy, Teachers Pay Teachers, app Sumo, Creative Fabrica, Creative Market, and Design Bundles, among others.
These marketplaces enable an individual to sell their products even without an audience.
It works if you work, and the work is not back-breaking.
For example, find manners in which you are able to rank for certain keywords when creating your Canva digital products.
Once you create your digital products, set up a store and create engaging and SEO-optimized covering pictures for your products.
Thereafter, you can check back to see the ranking of your product because the ranking translates to sales.
Remember, attention = Sales.
Freelancing with Canva is truly a fantastic way to get started.
Enabling a subscriber base allows one to earn money one day through freelance work, but a steady source of income would be lacking.
First and foremost, one should be sure of what they are ready to take on as this leads us best to the use of Canva best be suitable for.
If I’d like to start earning some cash right now, there are a multitude of services available; however, finding a good opportunity feels impossible because there are so many people competing on Fiverr and Upwork.
An effective technique for creating a truly unique offering is to utilize ChatGPT to generate a list of popular market gaps that Canva can fill.
That approach worked. Here are the ideas I got.
Although two opposing approaches are highlighted here, finding low-competition keywords will help solve this problem and take you in the right competition direction.
Still, check if there is enough market for each idea by using the autosuggest feature in the Fiverr search tool.
But it’s not enough to check if the keyword has competition. You also want to target keywords with at least 1000 results.
2. Print On Demand
How to make money with Canva online in 2025 with the help of Print on Demand services.
Print-on-demand is the type of business model that works just as the name implies.
You design a picture of your desired t-shirt, mug, sticker or any other item and save it as a PNG file picture, then upload it on the print-on-demand sites as your design.
These sites that have millions of customers advertise your designs using mock images of the products up for sale in their stores.
Whenever a customer buys a design of their choice, the e-commerce site makes the print of that design on the requested item, ships it as well and delivers the item.
You both get a cut of the earnings, and they give you a percentage of the profits from that sale.
Some of the most popular print on demand market places with great monthly traffic include:
- Merch by Amazon
- TeePublic
- Displate
- Zazzle
These sites are completely free of charge; all that is done is to create an account and start the work.
To make it more believable, I found a lady who was posting on her Zazzle site and made over $7047.07, which she made on selling items on the Zazzle site over at Lyfepyle blog.

3. Faceless Marketing
Suppose you have spent even a second on Instagram. In that case, you have come across some of the B roll videos of individuals where there is text displayed on the video where they say or encourage the audience to follow them.
These videos, although very basic, have earned their authors thousands of dollars by selling courses as a passive source of income.
I found an account in TikTok named Shy Girl Money, and for real, she has earned half a million dollars with this side hustle.
I gave those videos a try on Canva, and yes, it was a very simple task.
While I had to buy the b-roll footage from Etsy, you could easily.
Use your own video or screen record.
Or use the media bay of Canvass.
After sourcing the b-roll, you overlay text on it and then post the clips as videos on Instagram.
Try to search for some of the reel sounds that are trending to enhance the virality of your posts.
When the organic growth starts happening, you can make good use of your Instagram stories to make those followers buy from you.
4. Upload eBooks On Amazon KDP
