I’ve been selling website templates for a few years now, but I still got SO much value from Melissa’s Superhero Academy!

Melissa broke down her best tips and tricks for designing best-selling templates, along with her strategies for marketing and selling them in easy, bite-sized lessons. The amount of pre-made resources she provides is truly above and beyond. You get everything you need to implement her strategies without having to start from scratch.  I’m really excited to update my shop listings, design new templates using the Canvas Pro Collection, and, of course, make more sales!

I'm so confident you’ll love this course, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner!

lena renee, Sauci Studio

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 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.

Who is this course for?

FAQs

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?

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?

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?

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?

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?

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?

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?
