Money Making Ideas for Life Coaches: Sell Canva Templates and Earn Online

Running a coaching business can feel like a juggling act. You’re always looking for new ways to support your clients and earn a stable living.

One simple and fun way to make extra income is to share the worksheets and planners you already love.

By turning your coaching materials into Canva templates, you can help other coaches while earning passive income.

My Journey into Selling Coaching Worksheets

When I started out as a coach, I made little worksheets to guide my sessions. Clients loved it when they had a place to write their goals and reflections.

Then my coaching friends began asking, “Can I use your worksheets?”

That’s when I realised I could share my designs and bring in extra money.

The best part is that digital products can be sold over and over again. It’s like planting a seed once and watching it grow.

How Much Money Can You Earn with Coaching Templates?

I know you’re probably wondering if it’s worth your time. Coaches around the world are already earning money by selling their Canva designs.

A single worksheet often sells for a few pounds or dollars, and a big bundle of worksheets can sell for between £15–£35.

Since everything is digital, you don’t have to handle shipping. It really adds up and gives you a steady stream of passive income.

Understanding Canva

Canva is like a magic craft box on your computer. It offers a free version and a paid Pro version. Both allow you to create templates, but Pro gives you extra elements and a special template link that lets others make a copy. 

Why Canva Is Popular

Lots of coaches love Canva because it’s easy to use.

You don’t need to be a designer to make something that looks professional. As coaches, we’re often short on time, so being able to quickly create worksheets that look well-designed is a huge help.

Canva is free to start and works in your web browser, so you can design from anywhere

Who Needs Coaching Templates?

Think about all the busy coaches, therapists and teachers who want to give their clients well‑structured activities.

They need templates to help people set goals, track habits and reflect.

When you share your templates, you’re helping them save time and provide quality resources.

Types of Coaching Templates You Can Create

Here are some ideas you might like:

• Goal planners and habit trackers: Let clients set targets and check off progress.

• Reflection journals: Give them prompts and space to think.

• Session notes and action plans: Guide your coaching meetings with clear steps.

• Client welcome packets: Introduce your process and set expectations.

• Group workshop guides: Organise exercises for groups.

When you design, keep it simple and clean. Use muted colours, add boxes or lines for writing and lock anything that shouldn’t move. Use the same fonts and colours throughout to make it look professional.

Startup Costs for a Coaching Template Business

Starting a template shop doesn’t cost much. You can design and share with Canva’s free plan.

Upgrading to Pro gives you a template link and more elements.

You might pay small listing fees on marketplaces or for a simple website. There’s no stock or shipping to worry about, so you keep more of your earnings

Earnings Potential from Selling Templates

How much can you make?

Single worksheets usually sell for $7–$17, bundles for $27–$47, and larger toolkits for $97–$147.

Bundles and tiered pricing (basic, standard, premium) encourage people to spend more and get a complete set.

Because you sell the same file again and again, your profits grow with each sale.

Where to Sell Coaching Templates

You can list your products in several places:

• Etsy: Shoppers love digital downloads there and search for keywords like “editable coaching worksheet.”

• Creative Market: Good for professional designs and business kits.

• Shopify or similar platforms: Let you build a store, send files instantly and even do email marketing

• Sell directly from your own site or through your email list: Just pick a place that supports instant downloads and lets you set your price

Setting Up Your Online Shop

Once you choose a platform, make your store inviting. Use mockup images that show your templates on a laptop or printed page. Write clear, friendly titles and describe everything that’s included. Add a short guide to help people access and edit their purchase.

Steps for Selling Coaching Templates

• Pick your niche: Decide who you’re helping and what templates they need.

• Design your worksheets: Use Canva to create original files. Keep them simple and functional and lock elements.

• Make a template link: In Canva, click Share, choose “Template link,” and copy the link. Always duplicate your design first.

• Set up your store: Upload your PDF with the template link to a platform like Etsy or Creative Market.

• Price it well: Look at similar products to decide a fair price. Offer bundles and tiered options.

• Share the news: Post examples on social media, write blog posts or start a YouTube channel. Ask happy clients to tell others

Important Points to Watch

• Original work: Don’t resell Canva’s templates or stock photos.

• Licensing: Using Pro elements is okay if buyers have Pro too. Check Canva’s license before selling.

• Ease of use: Make sure your templates are simple to edit.

• Protect your file: Lock layers and remind buyers to duplicate the template.

Pricing Your Templates

Pricing can feel overwhelming. Start by seeing what others charge.

Think about how long you spent making your template and how helpful it is.

Bundles and different package levels give buyers choices. For example, a basic set may have a few worksheets, a standard set may have a full planner, and a premium package might include multiple workbooks and updates.

Writing Effective Product Descriptions

Use a warm, clear voice. Tell people what problem the template solves and who it’s for.

List the number of pages and note if buyers need a free or Pro Canva account.

Sprinkle important keywords so your listing shows up in searches.
