    Not gonna lie ... I see a lot of friends go to Etsy to purchase artwork for kid party invites. They spend good money for someone to churn out a template with a couple of words swapped in, and send a PDF. No printing or anything, just the PDF.

    Seriously makes me want to consider making a few templates and just creating a store to generate a few bucks here and there for moms throwing parties n' shit like that.

    • interesting. I used to read this blog https://www.kalzumeu…shapesalad
    • the guy made a website to generate language lesson bingo cards, a fairly healthy paid side hustleshapesalad
    • thanks for downvoting a legit comment :)monospaced
    • Look at the sales of templates on Envato, etc., it's pretty insane. $25 template....sold 20,000 times...$250,000...n... bad!formed
    • exactly ... and the purchaser still has to go to FedEx office and pay out the ass to print and trim them!monospaced
    • You should do it. End of story.canoe
    • Etsy for invites? No way. Dollar store, baby!stoplying
    • Like custom ones. So if someone wants an ocean theme, or shit like that. You'd be surprised what's out there. Amateurs making bank.monospaced
    • You know you have to pay a monthly fee on Etsy? Even if you sell nothing, as soon as you have items in your shop, they charge you. More items = more fees.Bennn
    • I didn't know that. Can't imagine it would be prohibitive though. More a small cost of operation, it's to be expected.monospaced
    • Yeah, $0.20 per listing, good for 5 months. Plus a hefty rake off each transaction. Not too bad!monospaced
    • Should have created Etsy.Raybandana
    • The fees on Etsy are ridiculously low.canoe
    • fees are low, but if you make no sells, it sucks to send money when the goal is to make moneyBennn
    • not to be mean or anything Bennn, but you're being captain obvious again and pointing out a non issue considering services were renderedmonospaced
    • You're also talking about $0.20 cents. Even if you listed 100 items and sold NOTHING, it would be $20 for 5 months. That's $4 a month. Not that bad dude.monospaced
    • I think it cost me more than that when i was on Etsy.. it was like 7-8$ a month for like 6-8 items in the shop. But i dont remember clearlyBennn
    • That would be pretty expensive.monospaced
