You don’t need to be a professional graphic designer to make money online with design. With Canva, anyone can create stunning visuals — and turn those into a steady income stream. From templates to printables, there’s a world of opportunity for creative beginners who know how to present their work well.

The Power of Canva Simplicity

Canva has changed the game. You can design social media graphics, logos, flyers, business cards, and even eBooks — all using drag-and-drop tools. Businesses, influencers, and coaches are constantly looking for affordable, fast designs. That’s where you come in.

Where to Sell Your Designs

Start by creating a portfolio on Fiverr or Etsy. Offer simple packages like “10 Instagram post templates” or “Editable Canva business card design.” You can also sell pre-made templates on Creative Market or your own website.

Keep It Simple and Consistent

The key is not complexity, but style and usefulness. Clients love designs that are clean, easy to edit, and visually balanced. Build your own signature look — maybe pastel themes, bold minimalism, or classy business styles — and stick with it.

“Design simplicity plus action equals opportunity.”

💡 Interactive Practice: Build Your Design Income Foundation
🖼️ Step 1: Create Your First Design

Open Canva and design something simple — a social post or quote graphic. Keep your color scheme consistent and text easy to read.

💡 Step 2: Make 5 Variations

Experiment with different backgrounds and text styles. Variation helps you learn what stands out visually and what feels balanced.

💰 Step 3: Upload and Sell

Create a Fiverr gig or Etsy listing offering editable Canva templates. Use screenshots to show what buyers get.

🚀 Step 4: Market Your Work

Share your designs on Pinterest, Instagram, or Threads. Add a short caption explaining what problem your design solves.

📈 Mastering Risk and Reward Ratio: Your Ultimate Forex Trading Edge

One of the most crucial aspects of successful trading is understanding the concept of risk and reward. This principle lies at the heart of every professional trader’s strategy. Risk-to-reward ratio (RRR) is the measure of how much a trader stands to lose if a trade goes wrong versus how much they stand to gain if the trade goes right.


💡 What is the Risk/Reward Ratio?

The risk/reward ratio is a calculation used by traders to manage their trades and protect their capital. If you’re risking £100 on a trade, and your potential profit is £300, your risk/reward ratio is 1:3. This means you’re risking £1 to potentially make £3.

In forex trading, the risk/reward ratio helps you determine whether a trade is worth taking. It also helps maintain discipline and consistency, both of which are essential for long-term trading success.


📊 Why It Matters

Without a proper risk/reward strategy, traders can easily fall into emotional decision-making, often leading to poor results. A favorable risk/reward ratio allows you to be profitable even if you lose more trades than you win.

For example, if your RRR is 1:3, and you win only 3 out of every 10 trades, you can still end up in profit. Here’s how:

  • 3 winning trades x £300 = £900
  • 7 losing trades x £100 = £700
  • Total profit = £200

⚙️ How to Use RRR in Your Trading

1. Set Your Stop Loss: Always determine the amount you're willing to lose on each trade. This is your risk.

2. Set Your Take Profit: Define how much profit you're aiming to make. This is your reward.

3. Calculate the Ratio: Divide the potential reward by the risk.


📘 Real-World Example

Let’s say you’re trading the GBP/USD pair. You enter a buy trade at 1.2500 with a stop loss at 1.2470 (30 pips risk) and a take profit at 1.2590 (90 pips reward).


  • Risk: 30 pips
  • Reward: 90 pips
  • Risk/Reward Ratio: 1:3

🛡 Pro Tips

  • Always stick to your pre-determined RRR. Don’t move your stop loss or take profit emotionally.
  • Use larger RRRs to allow some losing trades while remaining profitable overall.
  • Backtest your strategy with different RRRs to find the sweet spot that suits your trading style.

📊 Why It Matters

Mastering the risk and reward ratio is a vital step toward becoming a consistent and profitable trader. It empowers you to trade with discipline and confidence, even when the market doesn’t go your way.

Make it your goal to never enter a trade without knowing your risk/reward setup. Over time, this simple habit can significantly improve your results and protect your trading capital.

Want to learn how to implement this live on your charting platform? Stay tuned for our upcoming guide on setting RRR directly within your trading software.

From Canva to Cash: Earning with Simple Design Skills

Sophie had always been creative, but she never thought of herself as a “designer.” She loved making invitations for friends’ parties, creating playful graphics for social media, and experimenting with colors and layouts—but it was just a hobby. One evening, while scrolling through online job boards, she noticed a growing trend: people paying freelancers to create simple, polished designs using tools like Canva.

Curious, Sophie decided to give it a try. She downloaded Canva, explored templates, and started experimenting. She made logos, social media posts, eBook covers, and flyers. To her surprise, she found the process intuitive, fun, and deeply satisfying. Each small design project made her realize that even simple creativity could have real-world value.

She posted her first gig on Fiverr, offering “Custom Social Media Graphics and eBook Covers.” The first order was small—a single Instagram post for a local bakery—but it paid more than she expected. Encouraged, Sophie refined her portfolio, created more samples, and wrote clear descriptions explaining the value she could deliver. Within weeks, she had multiple orders and glowing reviews.

Sophie discovered something important: in the world of online freelancing, clients didn’t need a famous designer—they needed someone reliable, creative, and able to translate ideas into visuals quickly. Her work wasn’t about perfection; it was about clarity, appeal, and usability.

As her reputation grew, Sophie expanded her services: she offered Canva templates, design coaching, and even packaged sets of social media content for small businesses. She learned to manage multiple orders, communicate effectively with clients, and streamline her workflow. Each success boosted her confidence—and her income.

Beyond the money, Sophie realized she had unlocked a valuable skill set. She could now take any basic concept and turn it into an attractive design that sold a product, promoted a business, or engaged an audience. She had gone from casual hobbyist to skilled online freelancer, all using simple design tools that were accessible to anyone.

Looking back, Sophie smiled at how far she’d come. What started as curiosity had turned into a sustainable source of income, personal growth, and creative fulfillment. She understood that in today’s digital world, even simple skills, when applied consistently and creatively, could open doors to opportunities and financial independence.

"Creativity is the bridge between hobby and income—design your way to success."

From Canva Newbie to Digital Design Pro

It began with a free Canva account and a little curiosity. They learned their way around the platform, exploring templates, fonts, and animations. Before long, they were creating fully branded Canva templates and videos—designed for specific niches and needs.

Their work attracted attention—and clients. Regular buyers started requesting templates for Instagram, YouTube, blogs, and more. It turned into a real business, with a reliable client base and a growing reputation for quality design.

Now, they teach others how to do it too—while using LeadsLeap to market their templates completely free.

Creating and Selling Canva Templates for Passive Income

By Trevor Jones Living Off The Net Academy

Creating and selling Canva templates is a great idea! It's relatively low effort, highly scalable, and appeals to a wide audience. Here's how you could approach this:

1. Identify Your Niche

Determine the type of templates you want to create: social media posts, business presentations, marketing materials, or even niche-specific templates like those for influencers, bloggers, or entrepreneurs.

Tip: Think about what your audience (beginner marketers or those wanting to live off the net) would find useful. Social media templates or simple website design kits could be popular.

2. Create Templates in Canva

Start by designing a few templates in Canva. Focus on versatility (easy to edit colors, text, and images). Ensure your templates are high-quality, aesthetically pleasing, and user-friendly.

3. Offer Various Styles and Themes

Offer different styles (minimalistic, modern, vintage) or cater to specific themes (business, wellness, lifestyle). Organize templates into collections—for example, a package for bloggers with social media post templates, blog banners, and email headers.

4. Set Up Your Store

Sell templates directly on your website or use platforms like Etsy, Gumroad, or Creative Market. Some use Shopify to set up a full online store. Ensure the purchasing process is smooth and provide clear instructions or tutorials for buyers.

5. Market Your Templates

Promote your templates via social media, blogs, or email lists. Create a lead magnet related to Canva (like a "free template pack") to encourage email sign-ups.

6. Scale and Optimize

After a few sales, gather feedback and tweak designs to better suit your audience. You could also offer a subscription where customers receive new templates every month.

You can design everything from social media posts, ebooks, presentations, website mockups, marketing materials, and custom templates for marketing funnels!

🧩 Example: Canva Template for a Marketing Funnel

  • Instagram Carousel Templates: Move people through a funnel (Awareness → Interest → Action).

Etsy, Creative Market, Gumroad, and DesignBundles.net are great because they already have traffic. Include keywords like “Marketing Funnel Template Canva” or “Lead Magnet Canva Templates” in your listings.

2. Your Own Website

  • Instagram: Template previews in Reels or carousels.
  • Pinterest: Pin mockups linking to your product.
