The argument in one line.
Canva templates are not the product — they are the front door to audiences already searching for expensive downstream markets like resume software, merchant accounts, hosting, and legal services, where the real affiliate commissions live.
Read if. Skip if.
READ IF YOU ARE…
- You are exploring affiliate marketing or template businesses and want a data-driven framework, not generic 'post on Etsy' advice.
- You already dabble in Canva templates or digital products but are making little money and don't know why.
- You understand keyword research basics (Ahrefs, SpyFu) and want to see how to apply them to a content/template niche.
- You are willing to build a real website and email list around a niche rather than just uploading to a marketplace and hoping.
SKIP IF…
- You want a quick tutorial on how to physically design Canva templates — this video is entirely strategy and data, not design how-to.
- You are looking for a passive-income shortcut; the presenter explicitly warns most people make nothing and this requires sustained work.
- You have no interest in SEO or affiliate marketing — the entire monetization stack depends on both.
The full version, fast.
Canva's billion-monthly-visitor footprint reveals what people are searching for — and smart operators use that data to build niche template sites that attract high-intent audiences, then monetize with affiliate programs paying $36 to $1,000+ per sale. The framework has three layers: pick a niche where Canva already ranks (resumes, cleaning flyers, real estate templates), create a free template lead magnet, then bridge visitors to the expensive downstream market (resume software, web hosting, merchant accounts, legal services). The presenter demonstrates the full stack live using his own network-marketing niche site as the example, showing keyword research, parasite SEO, email lead capture, and a money ladder that scales a single template into a multi-offer business.

Lines worth screenshotting.
- Canva gets roughly one billion visitors per month — building on that traffic is the strategy, not competing against it.
- The Canva affiliate program pays a maximum of $36 per sale; treating that as the ceiling is the single biggest mistake template creators make.
- Every template niche has a downstream market paying 10–100x more than the template itself: resume templates lead to resume software at $5.44 CPC, invoice templates lead to merchant accounts at $22 CPC.
- The intent bridge is the model: capture someone searching for a free template, then walk them up a money ladder to the paid solution they actually need.
- Parasite SEO lets you rank content on Canva's own subdomain, Medium, LinkedIn, Reddit, and Etsy pages — borrowing domain authority you don't have yet.
- Keyword research before building is non-negotiable: 'resume templates' has 228,000 monthly searches on Canva alone; cleaning business flyer has 150 searches and zero competition.
- A Canva profile page (canva.com/p/...) can rank in Google organically — you can build a portfolio that drives free search traffic without your own domain.
- Web hosting affiliates pay $200–$500 per signup; showing any small business how to get off Canva onto their own site is a natural and high-commission upsell.
- The presenter made close to $1 million on hosting affiliate commissions alone by pairing content about free tools with hosting upgrade recommendations.
- Manus AI can generate an entire niche template page — copy, layout, and downloadable assets — from a keyword export without manual design work.
- Social media template bundles for a single vertical (realtors, cleaners, salons) outperform generic template marketplaces because the audience intent is sharper and the back-end offer is obvious.
- The prenuptial agreement template site — built entirely with AI in about three weeks — was already ranking and pulling traffic worth $14 per click from Google.
- Most Etsy template sellers stop at the storefront and never build an email list, a website, or a back-end offer — that's why 71 templates can produce only 242 sales across four years.
- Design Pickle offers a $1,000 referral commission; a single referral from a 'brand starter kit' template page covers weeks of content production costs.
- Every template category maps to a high-CPC advertiser vertical — the research step is matching the template audience to who is paying Google the most for that same audience.
Every template niche has a much bigger market hiding downstream.
THE MONEY TRAIL
A free Canva template is worthless as a product but extremely valuable as a filter — it identifies exactly which high-paying affiliate audience just raised their hand.
01Hook & credibility setup
- A 27-year track record of income claims gives weight to the disclaimer that follows: most people make nothing, and this is a business requiring real work and real data.
02Why Canva is the front door, not the money
- Canva's billion-visitor monthly audience is a research tool first — it shows you which audiences already exist and what they want, before you build anything.
- The $36 affiliate cap is a ceiling only for people who stop at the template; everyone else uses it as the front door to offers paying 10–100x more.
03Keyword research walkthrough — resume templates
- Canva ranking for 30,000+ resume keywords means the audience is already aggregated; your job is to intercept it with a more focused, monetizable version of what Canva offers.
- Always compare the template CPC against the downstream solution CPC — the spread between $1.08 (resume template) and $5.44 (resume software) is your profit margin.
04Niche mapping — family tree, invoice, merchant accounts
- Before choosing a niche, verify there is a high-paying affiliate offer at the end of the funnel — Offer Vault surfaces this faster than any other research step.
- Invoice template creators who ignore merchant accounts are leaving the highest-commission affiliate opportunity in their niche completely untouched.
05Template types that work & the Canva ecosystem
- Social media template bundles for a single vertical (realtors, cleaners) produce sharper audience intent and a more obvious back-end offer than generic multi-niche bundles.
- Real Etsy sales data — 242 sales over four years for 71 templates — shows why treating a marketplace listing as a business strategy is not enough; the email list and back end are mandatory.
06Parasite SEO & Canva-hosted websites
- Canva's own subdomain (canva.com/p/...) is a parasite SEO vehicle you can set up for free today — real profiles are ranking for niche keywords like ATS-friendly resume templates.
- Ethical parasite SEO means posting genuinely useful content on authority platforms, not spam; the ranking benefit is a byproduct of the utility, not a shortcut around it.
07The Multi Level Millionaires case study
- The original Herbalife catalog template (1990s) worked because it eliminated the $3,000–$10,000 barrier to entry for distributors — a template that removes a painful friction point has inherent value before any affiliate offer is attached.
- Manus AI can replicate that same 'bulk template for each company' approach across hundreds of network marketing brands from a single keyword export, collapsing weeks of manual work into hours.
08Prenuptial agreement site — live AI-built ranking example
- An AI-built site in a legal template niche can rank and pull traffic worth $14 per click within three weeks if built on an aged domain with existing backlinks.
- SimilarWeb traffic data, not gut feeling, is the validation step — 500 visitors per month at $14 CPC is a quantifiable asset, not anecdote.
09Master reference table — 40 template categories
- The master reference table maps each template category to a specific affiliate program, commission range, and downstream CPC niche — use it as a menu, not a checklist; pick one vertical and go deep.
- Design Pickle's $1,000 referral commission means a single conversion from a brand-kit template page can outperform months of Canva affiliate commissions.
10Funnel examples & CTA
- A complete funnel — cleaning flyer → email list → hosting affiliate → bookings software — can be assembled from free tools and zero upfront cost; the only real investment is research time.
- The downloadmynotes.com resource doubles as a soft pitch for coaching; the funnel the presenter teaches is the same one his own video is running.
Terms worth knowing.
- Intent bridge
- A piece of content or a free tool that captures someone at a low-commitment search query (free template) and routes them toward a higher-value paid solution that satisfies the deeper problem driving the search.
- Parasite SEO
- Publishing content on an established high-authority domain (Medium, Reddit, Etsy, Canva's own subdomain) so your page inherits that domain's Google trust and ranks faster than a brand-new independent site would.
- Money ladder
- A sequenced progression of offers from a free entry product (template) through progressively higher-priced solutions (courses, software, managed services), each triggered by the problem the previous step reveals.
- CPC (Cost Per Click)
- The amount advertisers pay Google each time a user clicks their ad for a given keyword. High CPC signals that the keyword audience has strong commercial intent and that affiliate programs in that space likely pay well.
- Loss leader
- A free or cheap product offered below its standalone value specifically to attract customers who will generate profit through subsequent purchases — used here to describe free Canva templates as the entry mechanism.
- Trojan horse PDF delivery
- The presenter's phrase for a simple website that gives away a free template or PDF lead magnet, capturing an email address, then using the follow-up sequence to sell progressively higher-ticket backend offers.
- Cross-platform demand
- When the same template type sells across multiple marketplaces simultaneously (Etsy, Creative Market, Design Bundles, Gumroad) — a signal that the niche has proven, durable buyer demand worth targeting.

“Canva is not the main cup of tea. When a lot of people talk about making money on a platform like, oh, let's make money on Facebook or Canva or whatever it is, what they're not looking at is the fact that that is the intro point.”
09:05
“This is what's called an intent bridge. We are going through and taking a template, creating it on Canva — I can create a template on Canva and I could sell that or I could give it away and get the intent different.”
14:30
“Whenever there's a front door online, there's a back door online where the big money is. This is everything.”
36:40
“Most people just go out there, they make a template, they put it on Etsy, they wonder why it doesn't sell because that's literally what everyone is doing.”
50:50
“I'm literally getting 500 visitors a month in a market that costs $14 a click.”
53:50
“The people who make it work either get lucky or base stuff on data, and I don't wanna rely on luck. I wanna rely on data.”

00:00$50,000 with Canva. How to make money with Canva.
00:04$11,000 a month. How to sell Canva templates.
00:10$1,370 a day? Canva's gonna pay my rent?
00:15Alright, ladies and gentlemen. Today, we're gonna look at the truth about making money online with Canva. Unlike the other generic videos that show you how to make little things with Canva and hope they sell online at places like Etsy, print on demand, or even digital downloads, we're actually gonna be focusing on the data.
00:35I'm gonna show you real world things that I use to make money right now. So if you're ready to learn what it really takes to make money with Canva, the good, the bad, and the ugly, well then, smash the like button because I think you're gonna love this video, including something I show towards the end, which is a little sneak peek into a 7 figure business that I created years ago that we're gonna replicate using Canva.
01:00This one is a doozy, and I'll never forget it. I was sitting there in the office of a house that I rented with other people.
01:08Yep. It was me, my wife, and my daughter who was about two months at the time. And I went into that office trying to make money online, and I came across something pretty amazing.
01:19That was the first time I ever made over $7,000 in just two hours. And that little win took me to making millions of dollars online.
01:29And it all has to do with how people can make money using Canva. Come on. Let's dive in.
01:42Alright. So today, I'm gonna take you through the actual data and show you how I make decisions on what types of niches to go into, how to use Canva, what the data looks like, how can we go through and understand what's actually going to work before we get started. A lot of people out there are gonna show very generic advice as we saw from many of the videos we talked about earlier.
02:01They talk about very basic stuff like print on demand, go make some cross t shirt, or some kind of thumbnail or something like that, where they're not actually talking about the nitty gritty of what's actually working. How does Canva actually work as a whole? How is it making billions of dollars?
02:17What can we learn from it? And how do we find the data that's going to support the business we want to run? This is super important, and yes, it is a little bit more complicated than just go make some bible verse t shirts.
02:29However, a lot of you guys have probably seen that making those t shirts you never really get anywhere because it's not really based on data. This is going to be based on data, so that if you go and make a template business, you know what type of templates to make.
02:42If you make a print on demand, you know exactly what to make. If you're doing logos, you know who to make them for. This is very, important and this is based on my entire twenty seven year career of making money online, helping businesses, running niche sites, affiliate sites, template websites, and more.
03:00This is the real deal. So congratulations, you found a video that shows you the truth.
03:05Now, before we dive in, I want you to know that the numbers I talk about, like the $7,000 I made in two hours and different businesses and millions of dollars online are not typical, implied, or guaranteed.
03:17This is a business. It takes work. You need to have the right data.
03:21You need to understand what to do with it. And even if you do everything perfectly, there's nothing that says it's going to work.
03:27In fact, the vast majority of people trying to make money online make nothing. So now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's talk about what this actually looks like. When we look at what the other people are saying with templates, logos, and websites, and things like that, what we need to do is understand what we are going to do.
03:43If we wanna look at Canva as an affiliate platform, you can see that they actually do pay. So I can make money with Canva.
03:49Promoting Canva, I get a maximum of about $36 a sale, which means if you wanna make a thousand dollars a month, you need about one sale per day.
03:58Now, we can also see that there's lots of other affiliate programs and things like that that pay a lot more.
04:05What we need to understand is Canva is not the main cup of tea. When a lot of people talk about making money on a platform like, oh, let's make money on Facebook or Canva or whatever it is, what they're not looking at is the fact that that is the intro point.
04:20Alright. A lot of people don't focus on this and focusing on this is going to help you right out of the get go. If we look at starting this as an intro point, what we're gonna see is that I can start with a simple template, and I can turn that into a giant business.
04:34I'm gonna show you exactly how I do this towards the end. We're gonna build this for a site that I've owned for over twenty five years, and I'm gonna show you exactly how this works and how it makes money. And this is going to this is gonna change the way that you think about this, because it's gonna be the biggest moment that you've had in a long time about business.
04:52Now, when we look at this as the angle, we we need to understand, okay, this thing that I'm making on Canva or hosting on Canva is just the beginning. It's like a . It's like the , the lead magnet.
05:04Okay? What we're gonna do is look at the core strategy of Canva as the front door. Now, when we go through and look at the data, we can see here that Canva does have a lot of stuff.
05:14They get a lot of traffic. They are getting roughly 1,000,000,000 visitors a month.
05:19That is a gigantic amount of traffic. So understanding that is big.
05:24That means they're getting almost a quarter of a billion actual unique users. The average user is staying on their site about five or six minutes, and their bounce rate is super low.
05:35What does this mean? People use Canva, they use it all the time. If I wanna be an affiliate, if I wanna use this to get people into stuff, this is a big kahuna.
05:43We need to understand it. Next, we're going to go through and look at what Canva actually ranks for. If we were to use a tool like Ahrefs over here, we can see that Canva ranks for a lot of different keywords in Google.
05:55What does this mean? This means if I search for AI art image generator or AI image generator, right like this, in Google, we can see that Canva is showing up right here on the top of Google, meaning they get a lot of traffic.
06:11Very, very important. Now, why is this important? This is important because this shows us what people want.
06:17We can see that Canva is getting a lot of people from the word background remover. This is a business that was created and lots of people have background removers, like remove background is one of the most popular ones.
06:29They make tons of money. Again, seeing this data helps us.
06:32Like a couple years ago, showed you guys how to create QR code generators. Some of you went out there and did it and actually got a lot of traffic. Some of you guys just laughed at it and said what a terrible idea.
06:42However, Canva used it and they're getting a lot of traffic. We can also see resume builder, free PDF editor, resume templates, and on and on we go. Now, looking at this data shows us what the front door's going to be like.
06:56Alright? So what are we gonna do here? Well, I could see here we have resume templates, which gets a lot of traffic on the Canva site.
07:03So we have resume templates with over 228,000 searches a month, Canva's ranking number two. If I was just to go resume, this is how you start to look at the data and really, really drill down.
07:15We're gonna go keyword, we're gonna type resume resume, right like this.
07:20So out of the 3,300,000 keywords Canva ranks for, over 30,000 of them are for resume templates.
07:30I mean, you do you see the power of that? Like, I could go out there and I could do specific resume templates and I know it has traffic.
07:40I know people want it, and not only that, but it ties to a very, very expensive market. If I go out there and look at resume templates or resume design services or something like that, if I was to go to SpyFu, we're gonna see, okay, that that gets a lot of money.
07:55Resume template. Boom.
07:58We're gonna see here, resume template. Okay. Did I spell that right?
08:01Resume template, resume. Let's let's get that the right way here. Okay.
08:05So resume templates. I am the world's worst speller. There we go.
08:10Resume templates. We can see here, fetches about a dollar 8 per click.
08:15What does that mean? That means if someone was to go to Google and type in resume templates, on average the ads would cost about a dollar 8 per click, meaning that's what advertisers pay.
08:26However, there's a backdoor. Whenever there's a frontdoor online, that's what we're gonna use Canva to get the traffic, there's a backdoor online where the big money is. This is everything.
08:36Now, if I could go through and do like resume services, something like that where people actually do resumes for you, now it's at $2 a click. If I was to go through and do something like professional resume or software, let's do resume software, right like this, now we could see $5.44 a click.
08:55Alright. Now that doesn't mean we're just gonna get $5.44 a click.
09:00No. That means that there's a lot of money in the market, the advertisers are paying more than just resume template. However, someone looking up a resume template would absolutely benefit from resume software that would help them get a job, which is the big market.
09:15This is how you think about this in a different way. This is key. So what we're doing is we're using Canva as the front door.
09:22Canva is not the end money, it's the front door. Now can I go out there and show people how to make resume templates, promote Canva and be an affiliate and make $30 a sale? Yes, I can.
09:32However, I think that would be leaving a ton of money on the table. This is what's called an intent bridge. We are going through and taking a template, creating it on Canva.
09:43I'm not gonna show you how to create templates on Canva, that's for another video. This is about strategy and money, but going through I can create a template on Canva and I could sell that or I could give it away and get the intent different.
09:55So what's gonna happen is they're gonna come in and be like, hey, I wanna make this free thing on Canva. Okay, cool. At the end of the day, people are gonna go up this ladder and they're gonna get closer to the things that cost more money.
10:07Someone will go in and be like, my resume is good, but I'm not getting a job. Why? Well, you need a professional resume, that's the $5.11 1 or whatever it was.
10:17Oh, maybe you need to check out the job listings in your area. Go sign up for LinkedIn or sign up for, um, Monster Jobs or whatever it is.
10:25And all of these have affiliate programs and things you can do, and there's even courses on how to find a job, and that template is going to be your . And we're basing everything based on data. Trust me, this is gonna get better.
10:37You are gonna love it. Smash the like button. Type moment if you're getting an moment because we're gonna put it all together, come full circle, and show you how I'm actually doing this right now.
10:46Now, going through there, can also take a look at what other types of stuff they have. If I was to go through and just type in template, I can see oh, let's spell it right.
10:57There we go. I did tell you it was the world's worst speller. Template, write like this, I can go through and see what kind of templates people want, and since it's on Canva, very easy to make.
11:06So we got invoice template, family tree template, graduation, and on and on we go. Gift certificate, comic strip, infographic, all of this stuff.
11:15This is absolutely good information because now I know what to build, and some of these are super low competition. So I what I wanna do is I wanna go through and extract a business out of these ideas.
11:29This is what it looks like. Okay? Very, very important.
11:31So if I go through and I do something like, let's say, family tree template. Alright. Who are these people?
11:37Well, these are people that are interested in family tree stuff. So if I do family tree template.
11:43Okay? Here we go. Put a little tree here.
11:46Here's our tree. It's a terrible tree, but we'll have some branches and some leaves there and some roots. Gotta have roots.
11:53Right? Then we're gonna go through and say, okay. So what does this end up in?
11:56Well, I know that, like, the family tree sites, right, ancestry.com and all of those make a lot of money.
12:05So my little templates can lead people into this other stuff. This is key.
12:11This is literally everything, because if I was to go over to Offer Vault or a affiliate program or something like that, what I can do is search for Family Tree Family Tree, or let's just do Ancestry.
12:27Ancestry. There we go. So you have like Ancestry, DNA test, all the things that Ancestry people would be interested in.
12:34And we even have Ancestry that pays on a lead. Okay?
12:38Very, very cool. We could do family tree, boom, family tree.
12:43We could we could spell it correctly. Family tree. There we go.
12:46Right? Stuff like this would be pretty cool, or even DNA or something like that. If we could go through and see all of these things, some of them are gonna pay a lot, like there's some kind of DNA multivitamin.
12:56I don't know if that would fit, but going through and looking at this, I have seen where the Family Tree stuff might pay like $3 a lead or whatever. Or offer letter template. Okay.
13:06That's a realtor or someone selling their house. You can get them into, you know, maybe a a legal service that drafts all the stuff. Or looking at something like invoice template.
13:15When we look at invoice template, what we're gonna do is we're gonna say, okay, so I have invoice template, who would want it? Okay?
13:22This is the key. Who would want it?
13:27Who would want it? Okay? That's what we gotta ask ourself.
13:30So if someone's looking up an invoice template, well, it's pretty easy to deduce that they want to invoice someone so they could get money, which means they're probably doing business. Cool.
13:43So using Canva, making invoice templates for various different businesses, I can get them into other stuff that's gonna make a lot of money.
13:50Like maybe they're tired of invoicing and they wanna get a merchant account. Right?
13:54So if I do invoice template, boom, and they probably need a website too.
14:00Invoice template, fairly expensive there. If we were to do free invoice template, that might even be a little bit less, but we can get traffic with this using using Canva.
14:09That's the key. Now going through here, we can also do let's say we wanted to do merchant account.
14:16Now we can see merchant account's $22 a click. This is where we start to look at this like a business.
14:22Now going through here, understanding everything very, very specific is key. One of the other things I'm gonna show you here before I get ahead of myself is how this works. What we're gonna do is we're gonna have a very simple website.
14:36We're gonna go through page one will be a Canva link, affiliate link. We can talk about different templates, give different templates away. Link them to Canva.
14:43You just literally make it in here and you hit the share button, the share link goes over there. And these are actually really easy to make. There's even like a family mind map and stuff like that.
14:52There's all kinds of crazy things you can make, and they're very, very easy. Okay? Even their AI will go through and help you make this stuff as well.
15:00We're gonna go through, have a very simple site, make it work. We can even have them where they can make custom versions of it or something like that.
15:07Then we're gonna look at the money ladder, which is the niche by niche breakdown. So if you're doing like a local service business or something like that, it could be Canvas cleaning business flyer.
15:16Something like this might get traffic and it's actually very, very straightforward. Now, one of the things also is Canva also allows you to share your share link as a website.
15:28More about that in just a minute because Canva's big. We talked about how it gets a bunch of business. Let's do cleaning business flyer.
15:35There you go. Got a 150 people a month, zero competition. Canva's ranking number one right now.
15:41Alright. I'm gonna show you how to use this data and understand it. Could you go out there and make a business helping cleaning businesses with flyers and then get them into other stuff?
15:51Absolutely. This is how businesses are built by having something simple. Pressure washing flyer, cleaning service flyer, we're just gonna go down the list and make all of these.
16:00And you could use bulk AI to make them, you can have outsourcers make them, you can use Manus AI, whatever you want. And then what we're gonna do is get a website called like Business Flyers or something like that, build it up and make it work. Now, when I talk about what Canvas ranks for, we can see over here this is my Canva site.
16:19This is where people host their own websites on Canva. Now we could see over here that if we click on what it ranks for, it obviously is is growing quite nicely. But what it ranks for, this is literally like traffic you could get right now.
16:32Now some of these are weird, but some of them actually do work really well. Like if we were to go look at spreadsheets or something like that, we can see that these things actually do rank and they do actually get traffic. And literally all it is is a site that is on Canva.
16:48Literally, like okay, they post their site about some kind of spreadsheet or whatever it is and boom, there you go. Like here's one for UGC portfolio.
16:57You want to get customers that want to learn about UGC, which is user generated content. Boom, there's Canva right there, here's Pinterest, here's all of this other stuff.
17:06This is how you understand everything as a business, is by looking at where the data is. If I wanna go through and do Canva business cleaning flyer, I could see Canva up here.
17:17If I had that as a Canva website, I'd probably rank pretty quick. I could also make videos on it, images about it, there's some on Etsy, and on and on we go. This is how we make data driven decisions.
17:28So I could go do the flyer business or salons or real estate, whatever it is, I could go through and help all of these people. Now what we wanna do is we wanna think about the bigger problem they're having. Where do they go?
17:40Like, what what happens when they get the flyer? Okay.
17:44So you got this flyer. I show you how to make it work. I'm doing a great job.
17:48I could do it for every business out there. Well, after that, they probably need web hosting so they can get their own website. Okay.
17:55You could even build them a website in Canva. They get web hosting through your affiliate link, you get $200. Pretty cool.
18:01Right? Works really well. I've made close to $1,000,000 on hosting affiliate commissions alone.
18:08Pretty cool stuff. Again, results not typical, implied, guaranteed, but this is how I started.
18:13Start with helping one person, see where they're at, grow from there. So one thing I could do is Canva business salons or whatever it is.
18:22Okay? Very, very important. And then you can even see like salon Instagram template.
18:27Let's look at our data. Salon Instagram template.
18:31Okay? 20 people a month, not a ton. Let's do salon template.
18:37Okay. So salon templates, now we have business plan, website template. I mean, this is game changing, and it's not that big of a deal.
18:44Like if they get web hosting for $6 a month and I get $200, that adds up pretty good. Real estate agents and on and on we go.
18:51Again, looking at the bigger picture. Etsy sellers, I can show them Etsy ads training, email marketing, Printify. Wedding planners, I can get them into like different honey funds or or credit cards or whatever it is.
19:04Thinking different, like they're gonna spend $50 on their wedding, they're planning it, that's in the beginning stage, like you're at the the bottom of a mountain that's worth a lot of money.
19:14That's what we're doing with marketing here. And using Canva to do this is is literally everything. You can go to budget and finance, course creator, churches.
19:22Churches like always get web hosting. That's one of the big ones that's out there. Course creators, small businesses in general.
19:28Looking at this is literally everything. Now, what I did is I went through and looked at the data of Canva, and we actually looked at what templates are working best, and we could see there there's like different little batches and things like that.
19:41So now when we look at this, we're seeing there's cross platform demand.
19:46So a lot of people that make stuff on Canva are also doing Etsy, design bundles, creative markets, things like that. And we're gonna run those through our tools. We're gonna take a look at where they're at like this here.
19:56These are actual results of people selling templates right now. That's what I want. I want real data.
20:02I don't want some guru saying, oh, hey, you know, it'd be cool to make, you know, a scissor cutting guide. Is it good? I don't know.
20:09Let's look at the data. Let's make sense of it. Going through and understanding that's everything.
20:13And when we look at this, so we understand all the pages that are on Canva, all the stuff that's going on, and we start to see what's out there, what's actually working, and where is the data going.
20:25Now, we found sellers from beginners making $30 to people making as much as 13,000 a month, or 90,000 a year or more. Now, I'm gonna show you how I do this in the real world way, but again, looking at what actually works. They're doing printables and digital products on Etsy.
20:41Here's a guy doing designs and a thousand or first month or something like that. Here's another one and on and on we go.
20:48What I wanna do is I wanna look at what they're doing. Resume templates, that's a big one.
20:52Okay? That's that's big. Now, I'm guessing that that person probably didn't do all the back end stuff they could do.
21:00That's what I wanna do. I wanna have a back end to this where it's like, okay, now you got your template, now what?
21:06Then you can have like voice driven webinars or even have yourself on a webinar if you want, and teach people how to fill out the template, how to use it. This is literally everything, and when you understand it, it changes everything.
21:19Now, what the data actually says, this is what we found with the trends. We found social media bundles are really big, so going through and being like, here's real estate for Instagram bundle. Here's realtor invoices bundle, or realtor logo designers, or whatever.
21:35Again, thinking about that next step that you want them to go to. When we go through and do stuff like real estate Instagram bundles or something like that, real estate Instagram templates, okay, again, looking at our data, seeing what people want, We got realtor marketing templates, real estate templates.
21:53Literally, what they're doing, they got 26,000 followers, almost 27,000. Etsy, real estate Instagram templates, real estate Instagram.
22:00Going through and pairing this with everything is the key. So I'm gonna go out there, I'm gonna start by making the templates.
22:10Right? So I go out there, I'm like, okay, you go to chat GPT, you're like, what are the best real estate templates? You look at your Ahrefs, you look at your data, you make sense of it, see what kind of things they want.
22:20You make a big pack of templates. Alright. Maybe I have like ten, twenty, 25 templates.
22:25Okay. This is our pack. This is our base.
22:28Now what I'm gonna do is I'm going to make content about all of them. So I'm like, oh, here's this real estate template for Instagram, here's how it works, here's what to do, blah blah blah, here's where to get it.
22:40They go to my website, they put their name and email to get the template. I give them that one template and then I send them emails and they can get the whole pack with the training and everything like that.
22:51This is the kind of stuff where if you had all of these, you could go to NotebookLM, you could create a video about here's how to use this template and you don't even need to be on camera or anything like that. You just feed it the template, it'll understand what to do, it'll do the voice, the video, everything like that.
23:06This is where you start to see things as a business. I would go buy a domain name like realestatetemplates.com or something like that or whatever is available.
23:15Right? If I could find one that actually has rankings and stuff, that's gonna help me even more.
23:21Starting to look at this different, this is how these businesses work. And if you look at Envato here, it's gonna show you some of the sales they have.
23:30So like real estate templates here. You could usually see how many they sold, right, which is pretty cool, and it'll show you if you log in, it'll show you how much they sold and everything like that.
23:41But really, really cool, you just see, okay, this is how it works. This is what's going on. There is traffic for this stuff.
23:49They are actually getting sales, you can see by the stars there, and the reviews and everything like that. But this is stuff that actually works if you understand how to do it right.
24:00But most people just stop here and they're like, why is it not working? Well, let's take a look.
24:06Again, looking at the data, we're going to go Ahrefs, we're going to go Etsy, and then we're gonna go over here, organic keywords, add filter keyword, and we're gonna do real estate templates.
24:24And we're gonna hit apply. You could probably even do real estate if you want. So we could see Squarespace and on and on we go.
24:32So the reason they're not really getting that much going on is because you really have to rank. Okay?
24:38So I need to force traffic at this. One of the problems with social media is people expect to just post and get sales.
24:46That's never how it works except in a few rare cases, and then those people become gurus and they won't admit that sometimes something happens by luck or timing or whatever it is, and it's very hard to duplicate.
24:59What I'm doing is I'm showing you how to look at the data and duplicate what's going on because everything leads a bread leaves a bread crumb trail and we can go do that. Business documents, planners, tax charts, things like that, all kinds of things you can use.
25:13Now, the template types that work best is like social media templates. This is probably, in my opinion, the most straightforward way to go. Like, okay, let's pick cleaning service businesses, let's get them social media templates.
25:25Boom. Now you can go out there, take a picture of a clean house or whatever, post it with this template, and here's how it works.
25:31A lot of cleaning businesses don't have websites, they rely on different bulk websites like scheduling websites and apps and things like that, which leaves a lot of money on the table. We're gonna show them how to get business.
25:43And the cool part about it is like one customer makes it worthwhile. So going through and looking at that's everything. Now, if you wanted to do this the basic easiest way possible, you could go out there and you can create all these templates, put them on a website, have those websites rank for the words.
26:01Right? Like so you would rank for Canva template, whatever template, real estate template.
26:08You'd rank for all those things. Okay? Then put them on Instagram, then put them on your website, then put them here and there and all this other stuff and lead to affiliate programs.
26:17Here's some affiliate programs you can promote, WP Engine, you could set them up with WordPress. Uh, hosting up to 200 a sale, 200 a sale. 500 a sale for, uh, Kinsta, Bluehost, Shopify, all of this stuff here is really, really key.
26:31Even Envato, you can get paid when they go get templates on Envato. What you're doing is you are building a brand around a template, an idea, something very, very straightforward.
26:43Going through looking at the data, maybe I could do like a letter of recommendation template. Those are people that are going for a job, they wanna give whoever it is they want the letter of recommendation for so that they can get that.
26:54Very straightforward. Business card template, very simple.
26:57So if I do hundreds of different business card templates, which now with AI you can do that, I can go through and look at let's do Ahrefs here, and we will do keyword explorer.
27:09And if you don't have access to this, they do have a free version, it just doesn't do all the data. However, there's lots of other tools there.
27:17You can use AI to find the data, stuff like that. So here we see business card template, lots of stuff.
27:23If I was to go through with like, let's do business card overnight.
27:30Something like that. Now we should have business cards overnight maybe. Overnight.
27:37There you go, $12 a click. So looking at that, you're seeing the bigger picture, the bigger market. And then all I would do is go through and make a bunch of business card templates or Instagram post templates.
27:48Whatever it is, we are going through and we're gonna pick one thing and do it really, really, really well. And sometimes going in here, the invoice one, you could lead to credit card programs, $200 a sale or merchant accounts, Aweber, different things like that.
28:02Now, another thing to look at is what's known as parasite SEO. This is something where there's a good version and a bad version. A parasite is basically something that piggybacks on something else.
28:13So like a parasite might get like, you know, it's on this other thing. So here's our parasite here, and he hitches a ride on the buffalo.
28:22Here's our buffalo. It's a weird looking buffalo, but there's our buffalo.
28:26We'll write buffalo so you guys understand. Right?
28:29There's our buffalo. I think do buffaloes have horns? I don't know.
28:32This one has ears, really hairy ears. But at any rate, he's hitching a ride on the buffalo. So the buffalo is the big SEO site.
28:41SEO. Here we go. SEO.
28:43What does that mean? That means that Google recognizes the Buffalo as the powerhouse. Like, think of it this way.
28:49If CNN came out today and they're like, hey, we wanna post about how to make pottery, They're gonna rank number one in Google because they're CNN.
28:59If you posted that, you would be the parasite SEO guy, you'd get that ranking, you'd get the traffic. Very simple. So what happens here is you can actually use sites like Medium.
29:09You can post about Instagram templates, LinkedIn articles, Reddit, or even using Canva itself as we mentioned earlier with all of these for the MyCanva sites.
29:21Literally set it up, get the traffic.
29:27When you understand that, it's literally everything. That's how that UG portfolio works.
29:32That's how all these other ones work, and you're starting to see this as like game changing data. And I'm gonna include some of this data in the notes of this video. I'll show you where to get them in just a minute.
29:42We can do Etsy listings, hub pages, sub stacks, and everything like that. If you wanna learn more about this, watch my videos. I talk about SEO all the time.
29:49We're gonna do the keyword research, pick the platform, write the page, you write a little article about the top templates or whatever it is.
29:57Again, I'm gonna show you how to do this in a real world way. We're gonna break it down in just a minute. Going through the target keyword, you say, okay, Canva flyer template for cleaning business.
30:06Going through here, you could see what people are doing. So there's a bunch on Etsy. That's the big kahuna.
30:11I can do that. I can also go through and see YouTube, Canva on Pinterest.
30:18So, like, here's someone on Pinterest doing flyers. Okay? I could go through and be like, okay, here's some guy doing flyers.
30:24How much traffic does he get? Probably quite a bit. Looks like a template site.
30:29So here's a guy doing this with templates. He's getting 517,000 monthly views.
30:34I would venture to say that his stuff is is pretty big and it looks like he's doing yeah, he's doing a Canva affiliate link it looks like or some kind of Canva link there.
30:45Really cool stuff. Again, thinking about like where do I go to put myself, where the traffic is and where the money is. I wanna get involved in what's already going on.
30:54Like if I go out there, Canva's a big thing. So if I go out there and I say a press release for new AI powered Canva real estate templates on my website, I could share those and I can get traffic very quickly.
31:07Now, there are different gray hat and bad ways to do Parasite SEO. Like, we don't wanna go out there and post junk.
31:16We wanna post good stuff. Now, when we go through and look at this, I want to show you the example I'm going be using, which is really cool. This is an example of a company I've had for years called Multi Level Millionaires.
31:28This was a business I started years ago. You could see there's nothing on it, but if you looked at it back in the day, it actually had quite a bit of traffic. We made money with it.
31:37I just I I went away from the network marketing crowd just because it was a lot of work. However, now with AI, I'm gonna bring it back. To show you what that story looks like, I actually went through and what I did is back then, this was back in the old days.
31:50Right? I took the entire Herbalife catalog and I scanned it and made a online place where people could buy.
32:00So back then what would happen is an Herbalife distributor would have to go and get a merchant account, they'd have to get a website, they would have to get all the products, they'd have to know how to design them.
32:12It would cost like 3 to $10,000 before they even sold a product.
32:18So what I did is I scanned the whole thing. I said, well, PayPal actually has a merchant account and it's free and it's based on the email address.
32:27So what I did is I made this whole catalog. It was a template. It was based on an email address.
32:33So going through, all I would have to do is say what is your email? Boom, push a button. It would replace all the emails.
32:39Now you have the catalog. It was a template. It was insanely easy to make once it was done.
32:44Right? Once the thing was done, scanning it and adding all the products and everything was difficult, but once it was done, it was done.
32:51And then I sold them for 300 to $500 each.
32:56K? So it's like here, get this custom thing. We sold I think like 25 or 30 that first night, whatever 7,000 would equal.
33:05It's been a while, but I remember it pretty clearly. Going through there and looking at that, now I was like, oh, this one template leads into this big business which is promoting your business.
33:18So what I'm doing with this one is I'm actually going through, looking at the keywords around these network marketing companies. So you got 1,200,000 searches a month.
33:28I could take this, I could export this data, and I can go to Manus AI, right, like this.
33:36I can give it that data, and I could say, go through this.
33:42I want to make a social media template for distributors of each program.
33:57Get the data on what would work, and then make a page with them listed and a Canva prompt to make the template.
34:16And you could even sell the prompts. I mean, this is like it's game changing. Once you understand like, oh, wow, there's this whole opportunity world out there of all these people doing these things, and back then I just did Herbalife, and I did really good.
34:30And two, you know, I think it was prepaid legal or whatever, and then we did them for Melaleuca and all these other ones, and it was actually pretty simple to sell because the people already wanted them. Understanding this is key.
34:43Now, also, you need to know results not typical, implied, or guaranteed as we mentioned earlier. Always use stuff you have access to. Back then when doing the Herbalife one, they didn't mind that you you used their catalog, they actually encouraged it.
34:56I don't know what it's like now, I think it's pretty much the same. They really don't care as long as you're selling stuff and it's ethical and good. Pretty sure they don't care.
35:03Um, but going through there, always check that because there are different things. If you're worried about that, go for like social media posts for accountants, or flyers for accountants, or cleaning services. Different things like that, which would be really cool.
35:15And then looking at the data is absolutely key because now I can make it for all of these and I can actually have Manus make those templates. Now make the templates templates and make a page for each.
35:33We will host these on multilevelmillioneers.com and give tips and info on each company and find people making money with them and what they make.
35:54This will go through and I can put this up, boom, it should start to get traction, and then I can build and grow based on templates for them. Right?
36:02Look at this, it just gives you all the data and this is without, you know, doing that much stuff. It just goes through and makes it for us, which is great.
36:10Going through and understanding, open, look at, okay, where am I am I gonna get people in? I'm gonna have this starter, whether it's templates or business cards or websites or posts on social media to make money or whatever it is, then we're gonna go through and back it out.
36:27Most people just go out there, they make a template, they put it on Etsy, they wonder why it doesn't sell because that's literally what everyone is doing. Okay? You can do that, that's a starting point, I recommend it, but then go through and think about like what is not competitive and what does Etsy not rank for.
36:44Right? Is there any templates that they they don't have that I can get people in or is there something I can add to it? Looking at our keyword data is everything because if I go through and I look at like Instagram story template and I go through like this, so here's Instagram carousel template, maybe bio template, cap cut, stories, Maybe we could find something like Instagram template realtor, something like that.
37:07Okay? Realtor, did I spell that right? Real estate.
37:14There we go. Canva real estate Instagram post template. Look at this, this is all specific to realtors.
37:21And realtors spend money on marketing and advertising and it it works really well. And once we understand like, oh, okay, now I can get them in, maybe they don't have a website or maybe we can help them get a better website or maybe we can make an entire system around this. This is the exact same thing I do with my clients all the time.
37:36We actually have someone right now. We built an entire AI business around helping real estate agents post on social media, because most of them have no idea what they're doing.
37:46They post a house, they wonder why no one cares and nobody buys. There is a system to this stuff and you can learn it and build these things with Canva and go through and look at that. Looking for the high intent market.
38:00What is that high intent market? Can I go out there and post them on Pinterest? Is Etsy gonna work?
38:05Like here we have this one low in stock, only one left. How many did they actually sell? Social estate.
38:12So they are doing social real estate stuff. Alright? They got 242 sales in the last four years.
38:19That's not really gonna move the needle for me. Right? Like even if even if they were $200 a sale, that's still not that much money.
38:27That's that's not gonna move the needle for me. I need to do more, and that's a lot of work.
38:32They have 71 templates they posted. I wanna go through and find a different strategy.
38:38I wanna get that traffic. I wanna find them in and then go out there like, okay, you got 71 posts. Do you have 71 videos driving people to the post?
38:46Are you building a mailing list? Do you have a website? Do you have this stuff there?
38:50Are you going through and actually treating this like you mean it? Now, some other things we can look at here is these other websites that have lots of rankings. So if we were to go here and do a batch strategy, we're gonna go through and look at this and say, now I can go through and see like Etsy, it's got a lot of traffic, creative market, so that would be a good one for creative stuff.
39:13Gumroad, that's good for digital downloads, TemplateMonster, see what kind of things these people have. Here's one for design bundles, and just going through and look at the data like, okay, what's actually working?
39:24What's actually selling? Because if I could find the thing that's selling really good, maybe it's SVG templates for for Cricut or Circuit or whatever that thing's called. Or maybe you have, you know, different things like coloring pages.
39:38Okay? That that could work, but again, you're relying on Amazon for traffic. If I was gonna do an axolotl coloring book, okay, there's low competition.
39:48Could I make a channel about how to color these in? Maybe.
39:53Maybe I could, or maybe I could do Pinterest or whatever. But again, doing this is kind of like that other one where the amount of sales you're gonna get is gonna be pretty low.
40:03I'm gonna use this traffic to promote like a big coloring book or page or something like that. Again, that would not be the best use of my time in my opinion. I would wanna go through and see, okay, well where's the actual money at?
40:19Where do we got the actual money? Maybe Kajabi.
40:22Okay, what's going on with Kajabi? Maybe they got some stuff. Or maybe we go through creative.
40:26Here's fonts. Okay? Fonts can actually make money.
40:29I've made a lot of money with fonts back in the day. This is where going through and you find that working with someone like me is going to help you because I've done so many things online, I've bought so many domains, I've gone through and built things that actually work based on data.
40:43You guys saw a couple like a month ago, I built this site for legal stuff. It was prenuptial agreement form.
40:51Again, this is a template for prenuptial agreements, ties into big money markets. And you could see here we are actually ranking already.
40:58I didn't do much with it. We took the site over I think, like three weeks ago.
41:03100% AI site. It is actually ranking in Google.
41:06It is getting traffic right now. And, like, Hello Prenup is a huge business. That's how I went through and looked at the data and said, oh, this makes sense.
41:14I'm gonna go look at data. I'm gonna look at where the money's at. Like if there's no money, then I'm gonna waste my time.
41:21Like if Axle Auto Culling Pages gets a lot of traffic, but you make 1p for every 100 visitors, well, I don't wanna do that.
41:29I want something that's like, hey, I'm going get someone who wants a prenup, I'm going get them into lawyer traffic that pays a lot of money. And when you go through and you see that, you're going to see, I think we're here somewhere, I might have skipped it. I think we're on page three or something like that.
41:44It's a new site, but it is getting picked up and it is actually getting traffic, which is cool. I'll show you in just a minute what it looks like. But again, there we are here.
41:52Right? So we rank for prenuptial agreement template. This is the site we made with AI.
41:58It was made in Manus. You can watch the video. I'll include it in the description.
42:01Again, it's a template, so I can go make templates in Etsy or whatever. I'm not a lawyer, so I probably would just have a generic one. But then going through watch this.
42:10If we go to, what is it? SimilarWeb over here. Where's our SimilarWeb?
42:15Right over here. There it is.
42:18So SimilarWeb, this is the domain. You can back all this up with data.
42:21It's all right here. We are getting about 500 visitors a month. It did drop because we took it over.
42:26It's gonna come back up. Very simple. Do this all the time.
42:30Building the site in a good way. We can see here that this one featured on CNN.
42:36Cool. So I got a domain featured on CNN. This is how you get all the stuff that that has backlinks and things.
42:40Obviously, it ethical and good when buying a domain. You don't have rights to the content, which is why I made my own content with with Manus AI.
42:51Very simple. But it's actually getting traffic right now. If you look at the traffic, we go through here and we're like, okay, divorce lawyer.
43:00Boom. There we go. $14 a click.
43:04So I'm literally getting 500 visitors a month in a market that costs $14 a click. Going through and looking at this and looking at the data and the money is literally everything.
43:14When we go through and we understand, oh, wait a minute, I can go through with this network marketing stuff, I can build a site, I can go through and I can build an entire business around cleaning templates.
43:27Make HTML not React.
43:31This is for cPanel. It made it in React because I forgot to tell it, but it'll convert it for us, and you'll see exactly how it works. So let's see.
43:42Okay. It's gonna switch it over, and then you can see what it looks like. So we'll reload this here.
43:46But going through and understanding data is literally how I've made a good living online.
43:52I remember back in the day we had, you know, find what and go to and all these other search engines that would work. I mean, going and looking at like a lot of this stuff is for companies that don't have websites, We can go through and we can build things like that.
44:06Maybe there are people looking for website templates. Right? I could go through and do keyword explorer, Canva website template.
44:16Okay. And you can see here Canva website template, 300. Give them the templates and then talk to them about why they would need web hosting.
44:23Very simple. You can even do like Canva website. Boom.
44:25How to start a Canva website. This is actually something I did years ago where we talked about the difference between Wix and having your own website.
44:34Sold a lot of hosting with that video, did really well. Again, thinking about like, oh, can I provide templates? Maybe you could do website template.
44:42Boom. Website template, you're going to go through portfolio website template.
44:47You got wedding website template. There you go, wedding website template. Not that much traffic.
44:52There's Canva, there's Wix, there's Etsy. So Etsy has some wedding website templates.
44:58They are getting some sales. Again, it's all about the back end. I'm not interested in the 100 sales at $9.
45:05I'm interested in the back end. What am I going to do next? How did the knot build a giant business out of this?
45:10Could I get them into web hosting? What can I do to make this work and think about it like a business? Again, I see wedding website design ideas and templates, that's on Pinterest.
45:21I could literally get free traffic. Here's someone on YouTube talking about how to make a Canva wedding website. When you start to see this, it's like, oh, I could just be the big giant fish in the little pond of cleaning websites, cleaning templates, cleaning business cards, cleaning invoices, understanding this is everything, and then I go through and I build that entire pack together, build it up as a website, make all these Canva templates, and then boom, there we go.
45:48And then I could do like, okay, now I could do now that I've been in Canva, maybe I could do HTML, and I can do AI, and I can do prompts.
45:56It literally just keeps going and going. So the idea is first pick a niche based on data. Mine is the one for the this one here.
46:06Okay? This is the one for network marketing.
46:10So I'm going go through and I'm going to say, yeah, like I want people who want, you know, Herbalife website or whatever. Right? And you can go through and you can see this.
46:18So like Herbalife will go through here and you can do like Herbalife leads, Herbalife website template.
46:27Let's see what templates they want. Herbalife template questionnaire, okay, shake party template, maybe we could do Herbalife website.
46:36There you go, Herbalife website, people who want website for distributors. Okay, not a lot of traffic there, but it's very highly targeted traffic. These people want websites, that's why they're typing it in.
46:46And we could go through, we could say, okay, Herbalife website for distributors, maybe there's someone on YouTube doing this as well. And this works really, really good.
46:56There you go, 5007, and here's another 1, 7300, and on and on we go.
47:02This is how you look at business and you start with something simple like Canva templates for whatever, Herbalife or whatever it is, and then you build and grow and build and grow. And then when we do this for all of them, this is how I take businesses from making 19 sales on Etsy to like multi million dollar businesses and companies is by understanding where everything fits and how you start with that very simple idea.
47:28Okay, what's out there? What's ranking on Etsy? How do I focus?
47:31How do I get people directly into this stuff? And you can see Canva even has it looks like some kind of thing here, canvas/p, where you could have a profile.
47:42Okay. So even as a profile. There you go.
47:44It just keeps going. And you're like, okay, canva.com/p.
47:48What actually ranks? Is there profiles that rank? There is.
47:52It literally just keeps going and going. So you got, like, some kind of friendly resume here.
47:58I don't know what ATS is. Applicant track okay. So applicant tracking system friendly resume.
48:04Nice. So we would go through and boom, there we go. Canva is ranking.
48:08You got YouTube. You got all this other stuff, and on and on we go. And his profile is ranking, which is cool.
48:14We can go through and do top pages. We could see what that one looks like. ATS friendly resume.
48:24Boom. There you go. Pretty simple.
48:26That's all they're doing. That is your starting point. But the problem is that so many people think they're gonna do one little thing, post one template, retire, and sail off into the moonlight.
48:36That's not how it works. We need to focus on data. We need to focus on what really works.
48:40We need to understand this and build a business like we mean it. Even if that means, hey, we got to invest in keyword tools or whatever. Look at this.
48:47There's another one. 10,000, and on and on we go.
48:51This is where the rubber meets the road. So go on over to downloadmynotes.com. I'm gonna have some of the keyword reports, some of the template stuff you can go through.
49:00You could start doing the research on your own and understanding it, remembering this is a business. It takes work, it takes effort. Going through, looking at the templates you can do.
49:08This is another thing I'm gonna have in the notes for you. We have 40 different template categories. We're gonna use our template as a bait, build a lead magnet.
49:16If we're doing affiliate marketing, do it as an affiliate bridge and then tie it with ethical parasite SEO. You could see here logo and branding kit, business card templates, invoice and business documents, presentation, website mock ups, uh, all all kinds of different things here.
49:33Again, I will have this in the notes over at downloadmynotes.com. If you want to work with me, the data will be there as well. But going through here and looking at what you can do really, really works.
49:44Here's Design Pickle has a thousand dollar referral affiliate commission. That's pretty cool.
49:49It's a brand starter kit. So you could go through it and be like, how do I make a brand on social media? Here's all your templates.
49:55Boom. There you go. Now, some of the complete funnel examples would be like the cleaning business funnel template would be the Canva cleaning business flyer.
50:04Cost to create, delivery is instant and doesn't cost you anything to make. We can do parasite SEO or social media or whatever. We can get traffic pretty quickly as you saw with the examples.
50:15Get the lead magnet, affiliate bridge, upsell them where you can manage bookings, payments, or build their website for them. Same with wedding or finance funnel. I mean, this just keeps going and going.
50:25Check out downloadmynotes.com. We have some other information as well.
50:30I think I did research on the ones that are getting the most traction.
50:38Yeah. This one here. So this one was showing Canva sites what's actually ranking.
50:43You can see that local businesses and services was by far the biggest outlier, but you can actually go through and find the little gaps that you can get into where you're like, oh, maybe I can do spreadsheets and things like that.
50:56This is absolutely key. Again, data is everything. We are in the data age, that's why they're making data centers, because data is that important.
51:05And far too many people are basing their businesses not on data, and that's why they struggle. Like I do all this data before I even get started. That's the key.
51:15That's what makes this stuff work, is really looking into it and saying, okay, well where can I go? So here's all these Kajabi people, what can I do with that Kajabi website templates?
51:24Could I make Kajabi website templates? Could I do that in Canva? They have a great affiliate program.
51:29We were actually one of their top affiliates for Kartra, which was pretty cool. We did really good on that. I think I sold like a 177 accounts in like five days or eighteen days or something like that.
51:41But it was really cool and we we made a lot, and you can go through and see, oh, here's some email templates, other things like that. This is what a friend of mine does, and he's just an affiliate of these programs.
51:51He provides templates, ways to use them, how to get started with them, and last I talked to him, he was doing like 7 figures a year. Haven't talked to him in like five years, so I don't know what he's doing now. Could be better, could be worse.
52:02Most people make nothing. But the people who make it work either get lucky or base stuff based on data, and I don't wanna rely on luck.
52:11I wanna rely on data. Download mynotes.com for the notes.
52:14Check out the videos in the description. They're the videos that I talked about here, so you can go through and look at those and start to build and grow. But Canva is a powerhouse and their data should not be ignored.
52:25Looking at what they rank for, looking at what we can build. I'll go ahead and get this here, um, so I can put this in the notes for you.
52:32You can see all this stuff, and we'll go through and show you how to use this in a real world way. Like even if you do grocery list template, could I take that into some grocery list coupon affiliate offer?
52:44Guys, this is where the data's at. Weekly planner, could I make a planner? This is how everything works, and this is where we need look, food truck template.
52:52Look at that, food truck template, 8,200 searches a month, and those are, I think they're a bunch of food trucks that want to do like flyers and social media and stuff like that.
53:04Understanding where this job offer letter template. Okay, cool.
53:08High school resume template, Canva, Instagram post template. It just keeps going and going. I mean, there's literally a 100,000 keywords that Canva ranks for related to templates, and bare minimum, can go out there and be a Canva affiliate, get $36 a sale, and and go in and make that work.
53:26It's it's not super difficult. I mean, does take work, but again, when you look at the data, I'm just gonna make what I know is gonna work and put it where I know it's gonna rank.
53:36I wanna put it in front of people that are gonna get there. That's why I do the things that I do. But understanding that, can you get to $20,000 a month with Canva?
53:45I think you can use Canva to get there, but I don't think it's just gonna be like, oh, I make these things on Canva sit around and and get paid. No. It's gonna be like, I have an invoice business.
53:56And then using that, like I'm doing with the network marketing one, I I think you can do even better. Like I have, certainly. Right?
54:03Or logos, maybe go through and and you have logos where they do business cards or whatever it is you're gonna tie them into. Everything has a bigger pitch market with it.
54:15Right? When you look at it, like I've gone into markets where people don't spend money knowing, hey, there's advertisers who spend money, so I'll just pair it with them. You don't have to get the customer to buy anything, I could just give that away and charge the advertisers.
54:27When you start to look at this, it changes everything and it changes the way that you do business online. So download mynotes.com for the notes, check out the videos in the description, watch them, they tie into this perfectly.

The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
The video opens by cataloguing every clickbait claim flooding YouTube about Canva income — $50,000, $11,000 a month, $1,370 a day — then immediately pivots: this one is going to use actual data. What follows is a 55-minute live research session that traces the money from a free Canva template all the way to the affiliate commissions nobody talks about.
Named ideas worth stealing.

The Intent Bridge
A free Canva template captures a low-intent search visitor, then a follow-up sequence bridges them to the high-value solution they actually need (the back-end offer). The template is the magnet; the affiliate product is the destination.

The Money Ladder
- Free template (front door / lead magnet)
- Affiliate product solving the template's core problem
- Upsell to software or SaaS ($200–$500/sale)
- Managed service or course (highest ticket)
Every niche has a vertical stack of offers ranging from free to premium. The presenter maps each template category to its ladder: invoice template → accounting software → merchant account → credit card processing.
Steal forStructuring any content site or affiliate funnel with progressive offer tiers

Front Door / Back Door
The front door is the free or low-cost entry point (Canva template, free tool) that gets Google search traffic. The back door is the high-CPC market advertisers are paying for. The operator connects both ends and collects the spread.
Steal forAny arbitrage between free-traffic niches and paid-traffic markets

- Check downstream CPC in SpyFu
- Verify buyer intent on Offer Vault

Trojan Horse PDF Delivery System

- Follow-up email sequence promotes back-end affiliate offers
- Optional: voice-driven webinar or video tutorial upsell
