Did you know you can make money selling printables on Etsy?
Today, I’m interviewing a woman who has made over $5,000 selling printables on Etsy. She created a few printables, listed them on Etsy, and has barely touched her Etsy store in a year. One of her printables took her a few hours to make, she listed it on Etsy, and it’s now profited her thousands of dollars.

Let’s get started with the interview!
— Bachelorette parties are the new avocado toast and could be standing in the way of homeownership according to Today.
I believe it and I’m not ashamed to say I profit from it too. My side hustle is selling accessories to women headed to bachelorette parties and it’s profitable.
I sell gold foil temporary tattoos on Etsy with funny sayings such as “Bride Tribe” and “Wolf Pack.” They cost me very little to have made and the markup is insane since there is so much pressure on bridesmaids to create the perfect night out. They are willing to pay more for throwaway items like these tattoos and other party favors.
I sell the tattoos for $2.50 each and orders come in for over a dozen at once since girls attend bachelorette parties in large groups. Every time I drop an order off in the mail, I’m typically making between $15-20 per order.
As much as I love this side hustle, it’s not the most passive.
I work full-time and have to remember to check my Etsy sellers app every day for orders. I also need to package and ship the product which Etsy makes really easy but it’s another thing I have to remember to do.
In late 2017 I learned about the concept of selling printables on Etsy after interviewing someone about her six-figure Etsy printables business for my podcast and a lightbulb went off. I can stay in the highly profitable bachelorette niche but sell a more passive product.
I’m very intrigued by the concept of passive income so this side hustle sounded perfect for me.
What are Etsy printables?
Printables are digital files, such as PDFs, that people buy, download, and print out on their home printers. I had no idea people would pay money for printables before but they do!
Examples are jar labels for your spice rack, planner pages, grocery store checklists, printable wall art, clip-art illustrations, and what I sell – bachelorette party printable games.
My post popular printable is a bachelorette party scavenger hunt that the party can take with them on a bar crawl and cross off funny tasks such as “find and take a picture of someone with the groom’s name” and “request the song Single Ladies from the DJ.”
I sell that printable for $7.00 and I do absolutely nothing when an order comes in. The customer downloads the file and prints it at home themselves with no action required from me. Hundreds of customers can download that same file which is amazing.
And I made the printable over a year ago! So for just a few hours work, I’ve made thousands of dollars.
I’m not a graphic designer but I found the process of creating the printable easier than I expected and kind of therapeutic. It’s fun and a little creative outlet for me to make these printables.

How much money can you make on Etsy?
So far my Etsy shop has made me almost $5,500 and I’ve done very little work on it. In fact, until last month, I hadn’t put up new product listings in over a year!
I host a podcast and blog too and do these side hustles on top of my full-time job in tech. And I’m expecting my first baby any day now.
I don’t have the time for a super time-intensive side hustle so that’s what I love about Etsy.
I could potentially make six figures like some of the sellers I’ve interviewed on my podcast if I invested more time into it and that’s something I’ll consider if I ever wanted to take these side hustles full-time
For now, I am happy with investing just 1-2 weeks a year making printables that bring me thousands of dollars the rest of the year.
I think this is truly one of the more passive side hustles out there.
Now, there is a definitely a ramping up period with this side hustle where you have to learn how to use the tools to make the printables. The 1-2 weeks per year is the investment for me now that I know how to use the tools and I am on maintenance mode.
This investment fits best with my busy schedule and life.
