- Sell a printable planner pack — a budget tracker, a teacher planner, a habit tracker — for about $15 a copy on Etsy, where shoppers already search for printables. Pick one narrow niche and one clear buyer, not "planners for everyone." Your buyer is someone who wants a ready-made PDF they can print at home today.
- Use Muse to draft the page layouts, the prompts on each page, and the listing copy, then lay it out in Canva or a similar tool and export a clean PDF. Make 8–12 pages that work as a set, mock up the pages as listing photos, and write a listing title with the exact words buyers search for. Expect a focused afternoon of work, not a weekend.
- Etsy's fees, verified by search this run: $0.20 to list, 6.5% transaction fee, and about 3% + $0.25 payment processing — roughly 10% of a typical order. A $15 sale keeps about $13.40 before tax. The honest risk: Etsy is crowded, your first sales may take weeks, and a listing with no reviews barely gets seen — this is a slow-burn side product, not instant income.
