Etsy is an online marketplace that gets hundreds of millions of visitors every month. You can also take the benefit of Etsy traffic by selling your products and making money online. You might ask why should I start on Etsy, there is eBay, a more popular and even bigger marketplace? While you can sell anything on eBay, on Etsy you can sell only handmade products or vintage products. If you specialize in creating your own products, Etsy is a better marketplace to make money.

Interestingly, the products you sell on Etsy do not have to be physical items, you can sell digital items and make passive income. In fact, selling physical items cannot be considered passive income because you will have to manufacture the products and ship the product when someone buys them, in order to sell more products, you will have to create more products. Nevertheless, for digital products, you will have to create products only once, you can sell the same product again and again and you don’t have to ship, the buyer will download with a few clicks.

If you are interested in selling on Etsy, you might want to know what kind of digital products you can sell on Etsy. Well, you can sell social media templates, for instance, templates for Instagram, digital files like T-shirt designs, printables, etc.

Etsy is one of my favorite platforms to make money. There are various methods to earn from Etsy and some of these methods are active income sources and some of these methods are passive income sources. Create a product, list on Etsy, run CPC ad campaign and perform digital marketing to generate sales. This is a good way to make money on Etsy but this is not a passive income method because you will have to constantly work. You can also sell print on demand products on Etsy. IN order to do that, you will have to first create products on third party store printify, and then connect the store with your Etsy store. This is also not a passive income method because you are required to work every day to create products, promote products etc. You can also sell digital products on Etsy. You can sell printable, calendar for example. This is a passive income that you can generate on Etsy. The best thing about selling digital product is you do not have to create the product again and gain, once you create product you can sell it for a long time. If you want to use Etsy, try selling digital products.
