Because this is a digital course with immediate access to all materials, we do not offer refunds. However, if you go through the course and implement the strategies, you’ll have everything you need to launch and grow a successful template shop.
Do you offer refunds?
No, this course covers multiple selling platforms—including Etsy, your own website, and other marketplaces. You’ll learn the pros and cons of each so you can choose the best option for your business.
Is this course just about selling on Etsy?
The main tool you'll use is Showit (your website design platform). We also recommend Canva, Photoshop, or Illustrator for branding and marketing materials, but they’re not required.
What software do I need for this course?
Absolutely! If you’re already selling templates but struggling to make consistent sales, this course will help you improve your designs, increase your pricing, optimize your listings, and drive more traffic to your shop.
what if I’m already selling templates? will this help?
Yes! There’s an entire marketing module dedicated to helping you get traffic, attract buyers, and make consistent sales using Instagram, Pinterest, email marketing, and even paid ads.
Will I learn how to market my templates?
You get lifetime access! That means you can go through the material at your own pace and revisit lessons anytime—even as the course gets updated with new content.
How long will I have access to the course?
You don’t need to be an expert, but you should already be familiar with Showit and how the platform works. This course does not teach the basics of using Showit—instead, it focuses on creating and selling high-converting templates. If you're new to Showit, I recommend getting comfortable with the platform first before enrolling.
Do I need to be an expert in Showit to take this course?
This course is for designers who want to build a profitable Showit template shop.
Whether you're brand new to selling templates or already have a shop and want to increase sales, you'll learn the exact framework I use to create, market, and sell Showit website templates.
