Create Digital Planner Templates to Sell

Thank you for joining us as we continue our series ALL ABOUT digital products to sell! The best part...you can do it all from the comfort of your own home! Times are so different now, and the resources of computers and the internet make literally anything possible. The possibilities truly are endless, and today we are going to dive into digital planner templates.

Creating and selling digital planner templates on Etsy can be a lucrative venture. 

Let's look at the how-to, and then we will go over types of digital planners that customers often seek.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create these templates. 

HOW TO CREATE DIGITAL PLANNER TEMPLATES

Step 1: Research and Define Your Niche

- Start by researching the digital planner market on Etsy. Identify popular themes and styles.

- Choose a niche or specific target audience for your digital planners (e.g., students, professionals, moms, fitness enthusiasts).

Step 2: Choose Your Software

- Select the software you're comfortable with for creating digital planners. Adobe InDesign, PowerPoint, or even specialized digital planner software like GoodNotes are common choices. Canva is pretty much ALWAYS the perfect go-to for building and designing any sort of digital product.

Step 3: Create a Basic Template

- Design a basic template layout with pages like a cover, monthly and weekly spreads, note pages, and section dividers.

- Consider adding elements like hyperlinked tabs, buttons, and interactive checkboxes for user convenience.

Canva even has built in planning templates that can be edited and used to suit your niche! All put together for you, the hard work has already been done! Simply change it (colors, text, possibly layout, titles, dates) to suit the theme you are going for, and even add in graphic elements (Canva has a ton!). So don't get hung up on what to have on the template, the layout, or even what it should look like. Choose from some already made templates! Be sure to change it up slightly to go with your theme.

Step 4: Customize Page Designs

- Customize the design of your planner pages to suit your chosen niche. For example:

    - Student Planners: Include academic calendars, assignment trackers, and exam schedules.
