One special thing is you can make money from all 4 methods separately or you can combine any two of them to make money. We will see more about this in this article later.

But first,

1. Freelance your Canva skill

This is the most famous and common method to earn money from Canva. You don’t believe how many people have started freelancing their design skills online on platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, or Freelancer. Numbers are massive.

You can see the number of services on Fiverr for the search term “Canva”. Up to date, there are nearly 10,000 people started freelancing using Canva.

And look at the amount they are charging, on average it is around 1000 rupees/per gig (starting from 391 rupees)

So if you are good at Canva, you can very well start freelancing from today itself. All you have to do is just signup into any of those freelancing networks, then create a gig like this,

I can help you with designing

• Logo for your business

Initially, it may be hard to get a client, and it may take months to get your first client, once you got them, finding clients will be easier. Check out these Freelance steps here. And check out this article on the freelancing guide for beginners.

The same happened to me also. I got my first client after 2 months of starting, in the initial period I worked for my friends and relatives, I was handling their Instagram accounts and created content for them using Canva. Later my friend suggested me to her sister, and she asked me to handle her Instagram account also, and she becomes my first client.

So things will take time, don’t wait for the right moment, keep trying.

If you are new to Canva and if you also want a demo on “How to use canva”, check the above YouTube video, where I have shared a live demo of how I created a YouTube thumbnail with canva.

2. Canva Affiliate program: Make money from Canva

Yes!! Canva also has an affiliate program for its pro version. It will very beneficial for you if you have a strong online presence, if not, check this article by my friend Faizan to find an effective way to build an online presence. If you don’t have any online presence for the next 10 years, it will look like you are not having an email in this current day. Online presence is crucial nowadays. Think about it.

If you are having a high-traffic blog or YouTube channel or strong social media presence, this is for you.  You can very well promote the canva pro version there.

For example, you can write or create a video with the titles like “Top 5 hidden tips in Canva pro version”, etc. And start promoting it.

For every new Canva Pro subscriber that signs up with your unique Affiliate link, you are going to earn up to $36. The payment withdrawal is also very easy.

To get your referral link all you have to do is to sign up in the Impact affiliate network. It will take 2 working days to approve your application, and there are several eligibility criteria for Impact to approve your application. Check out those criteria here.

The great thing about affiliate marketing is you don’t have to work daily like freelancing or a 9-5 job, you only needed to work at the beginning and the rest will be your passive income. However, the foundation should be very strong like a high-traffic blog or YouTube channel or strong social media presence. So you will need to work hard at the beginning.
