A 6-year old account on a platform selling poster/flyer/social media templates. The platform is similar to Canva. It is easy to add designs without experience.
A unique designer account with exclusive templates is available for sale, boasting an impressive 7 million monthly visitors. The account is six years old and ranks among the top 30 designers on its platform, similar to Canva in user-friendliness. It holds approximately 5200 designs and generates passive income. The platform's structure allows older accounts to publish up to 10 designs daily without restriction, unlike newer accounts. Templates can be easily customized by users, making them attractive to small business owners across various industries.
Monetization is achieved through template purchases, with most revenue derived from subscriber usage, where the subscription fee is divided among designers. Earnings fluctuate based on the number of downloaded templates. Non-subscribers’ purchases yield higher commissions. The account can be operated with minimal effort, providing a flexible work schedule while still ensuring income through existing designs.
Promotion efforts have been limited, primarily involving sporadic Pinterest posts. However, expanding promotional activities on social media could significantly increase revenues. Financial stability is maintained despite a decline in standard purchases, as many designs perform well in Google image searches. A new feature enabling user tips could potentially enhance income.
Transferring the account entails providing login information, allowing the new owner to update personal details and configure their PayPal for royalty payments. Optional expenses involve subscriptions to external services offering additional design assets and watermark-free downloads, though the platform itself imposes no fees for selling designs.
