Have no time but big dreams?
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!

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...
“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.“

“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.”

“Joining the course gave me the resources I needed to start an Etsy shop while giving me the freedom to design a shop that represented me. I seriously believe that I would not have been nearly as successful if it wasn’t for the course and community.
