| Platform | Fees | Traffic | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gumroad | 8.5% + $0.30 | Low (you drive) | Full control, email list |
| Etsy | 6.5% + listing fees | High (built-in) | Discoverability |
| Creative Market | 30-40% | Medium | Premium templates |
| Your Website | 2.9% (Stripe) | None (you drive) | Maximum profit |
My strategy: Start on Etsy for traffic, build email list, transition to Gumroad/own site
Over-deliver on value
Include bonuses, tutorials, and extras they didn't expect
Make it stupid simple
If grandma can't use it, it's too complex
Solve one specific problem
Don't try to be everything to everyone
Update and improve regularly
Keep customers happy with new features
Build a template empire
One template won't make you rich, 50 will
Create template collections
Bundle 10-20 related templates for higher prices
Launch seasonal templates
Holiday, tax season, New Year planning
Offer customization services
Charge $200-500 for custom versions
Create membership site
$27-47/month for unlimited templates
License to businesses
$997-2,997 for commercial rights
New creators make 50 templates before testing the market. Result: wasted time on templates nobody wants.
Do This Instead:
Create 5 templates, test which sells best, make 10 variations of the winner. Scale what works.
Charging $5 for a template means you need 1,000 sales to make $5K. That's exhausting.
Do This Instead:
Bundle templates together for $47-97. You only need 100 sales for $5K. Much more achievable.
Relying 100% on marketplace traffic means you're building on rented land. Algorithm changes = dead business.
Do This Instead:
Offer a free template in exchange for email. Build to 1,000+ subscribers. Launch new templates to your list first.
"Social Media Template" is too broad. You're competing with thousands of creators.
Do This Instead:
"Instagram Reels Templates for Real Estate Agents" is specific. You own that micro-niche and charge premium prices.
Low-quality mockups scream "amateur." People judge your template quality by your presentation.
Do This Instead:
Invest $20 in mockup templates from Creative Market. Professional presentation = 3x higher conversion rates.
Not responding to questions = negative reviews = dead sales. One bad review tanks your ranking.
Do This Instead:
Respond within 24 hours. Include video tutorials. Over-deliver on support. Happy customers leave 5-star reviews.
