9 Sites Like Etsy to Sell Your Handmade and Digital Products
Etsy is great, don’t get me wrong. You can start an Etsy shop and start earning $2,000/month and create a remote side hustle for yourself where you can run your store from wherever you are. But it’s not the only option for a selling platform.
Check these out these Etsy alternatives to consider. Some of their fees are even as low as 0% (like Ecwid)!
1. Creative Market
Creative Market is an online marketplace where creators can buy and sell digital assets like digital art, graphics, fonts, website templates, themes, and more.
If you have digital products that fall into one of their selling categories, then this is a great platform to be on.
Creative Market is free to join but they take a percentage of your sales – 30
Head to Creative Market to learn more.
Pro tip: If you create digital art, you can stack this side hustle and get paid on Canva as a part of the Canva Creators program for the digital assets you submit.
2. RedBubble
RedBubble is an online platform where creatives, designers, and independent artists can sell their artwork on various products like:
- T-shirts, hoodies, and other clothing
- Home decor like art prints or pillows
- Stationary, notebooks, stickers, and other paper goods
- Tech accessories like phone cases and laptop sleeves
It’s a really cool concept and a neat way for your fans to support your work. Products are print-on-demand so when a customer orders your design on one of the above items, RedBubble does the printing and shipping (otherwise known as “dropshipping“).
RedBubble is free to join but additional fees may apply based on your account type.
