Are you ready to feel empowered, creative, and profitable?
You can generate consistent 4 figure months with little action from you once you create a printable and list it on Etsy.
Unlike other "create and sell printables" courses, we focus on profits first.
This means we give you all the tools for understanding keyword research, marketing tactics, pricing strategies, and everything else that goes into actually making money with this side hustle.
We know how valuable your time is which is why we teach you these special strategies for finding profitable products and niches from day 1. We want you to spend time making products that have the best chance of selling and we know this focus sets our trainings apart from others.
Making printables is fun, but it's even more fun when it's profitable!
Have no time but big dreams?
We've got you covered.
Hi! I’m Julie, co-founder of Gold City Ventures, Mom to a two-year-old, blogger, and a former full time office worker. I have ZERO time to myself anymore which is why I love my side hustle selling printables on Etsy. ❤
I’ve always enjoyed buying friends and family handmade crafts on Etsy and wanted a side hustle that was more passive a.k.a the “set it and forget it” of side hustles.
That is when I found out about selling printables on Etsy and I decided to try it. I’ve now made thousands of dollars selling printables and my bestselling design has made me over $1700! 😮
The cool thing about printables is that you make the design on your computer once and upload it to Etsy. Then hundreds of customers can buy the same design and download it, with no further action from you!
YES! CUSTOMERS SPEND $$ BUYING PRINTABLES FROM ETSY SELLERS!
Hear it first-hand from our amazing students:
"I hit my 100th sale! My shop has been open for 49 days and I am beyond excited!"
- Jennifer H. 
"I hit my goal of $2K sales revenue this month!"
- Sasha H. 
"Added a new printable wall art listing and have made over $450 on Etsy this month without running promotions. Best month ever!"
- Chelsea B.

Hi! I'm Cody and I'm the other half of the Gold City Ventures team.
Side hustling has literally transformed my life. On January 31, 2019 I quit my corporate banking job when my side hustle income started to cover the cost of my lifestyle… and since then I’ve never looked back!
When Julie told me about Etsy printables, I thought there was no way I’d be any good at making and selling them… I’m just not creative and I had never even bought a printable..but I gave it a try anyway since it sounded fun.
Then the craziest thing happened. Only a few months after opening my printables shop, I made over $800 in 7 days during Valentine’s week 🙌 ! I was hooked.
Let’s not forget, I had ZERO graphic design skills and I’d never even been on Etsy before starting this side hustle. If I can do it, I know that you can too. Don’t miss an opportunity to get in on this side hustle while it’s still a hidden gem.
You could sell kitchen jar labels, coloring pages, cleaning binders and household organizers, stickers, you name it! I’ve seen people make printable sales of $15 per order – it’s incredible!
Imagine what it would be like if...
You were able to create a new income stream with an online business
You were able to make beautiful printables that your customers love
You were able to get your creative juices flowing again
You were able to get paying customers while you sleep!
With our E-Printables course you can learn to make printables and start your online business!
Meet your goals
“I went through your course and it’s fabulous! Lots of actionable videos and in-depth content! I know my new sales are entirely because of your course.“

Templates
At Gold City Ventures, we’re big on templates. Using templates can drastically reduce the amount of time spent on design and process. In the E-Printables course, we provide 15+ done-for-you templates for Canva and Adobe Illustrator that you can tweak and list in your shop (you pick which software you want to use for this course – Canva is free).
Plus, we also give away 5 additional free templates each month as part of our VIP Membership Vault. We also provide templates for your listing images as well.
Step-by-step tutorials
We walk you through the entire printable process from idea generation to product creation to listing to marketing and everything in between with over-the-shoulder video tutorials of our computer screens. You’ll go from knowing nothing about printables to owning and managing an online store in just a few weeks.

HOW JENNIFER MADE OVER 2,000 SALES WITH E-PRINTABLES!
“Before taking this course, I didn’t even know printables were a thing! Needless to say, my mind was blown. The course provided all of the steps I needed to be successful on Etsy. As someone who can get overwhelmed easily, I really appreciated the step-by-step approach. I felt supported every step of the way and still do with the FB group. It’s the gift that keeps on giving! I love all of the updates, how-to videos, and the positive vibe of the community.”
