Not only am I adding a template shop, launching an Etsy shop but I've also been able to add design Intensives and am starting to implement the Day Rate method because customizing is so much quicker now that I'm not starting from a blank wireframe.
I purchased the full course VIP with the canva Library and let me tell you I am in love!
chelsea lennox, Lennox Creative Co.
I especially enjoyed the marketing modules for both Pinterest and Etsy and am looking forward to experimenting with these platforms more!
Even as someone with a fairly well established shop, there were takeaways for me that I'll be implementing into my own business ASAP
You don’t want to invest in learning how to create and market your products properly.
You’re looking for a get-rich-quick scheme instead of a sustainable business.
You want an overnight success without putting in any effort.
You’re not a showit designer and don't want to sell templates or digital products.
You want a proven step-by-step process to build a thriving shop with ease.
You’ve listed templates but struggle to get consistent sales.
You’ve thought about selling templates but don’t know where to start.
You are a Showit designer and want to create passive income with templates.
This course is for designers, creatives, and digital entrepreneurs who want to build a profitable Showit template shop. Whether you're brand new to selling templates or already have a shop but want to scale your sales, this course gives you the exact roadmap to succeed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
