Printable Junk Journal Kits

What It Is

You create printable pages and pieces that buyers print, cut up and use for junk journals or scrapbooking, and sell them as instant downloads on Etsy in the craft-supplies category. Artists can scan their own drawings or doodles to build the kits. The creator found one such listing estimated at about $3,763 a month (471 sales), from a five-year-old, all-digital shop with 459 products estimated at $23,498 a month.

The Pitch

The creator suggests junk journal kits as a better route than plain printable wall art, which she says is oversaturated and launched slowly in her own test shop. She also sees it as a smarter way to sell clip-art-style artwork, and notes that one bestseller often drives a large share of a shop's income while other listings add steady sales.

Who It’s Best For

Artists, doodlers and crafters who enjoy making decorative paper designs and want a product they make once and sell repeatedly.

The Truth (as we see it)

The example shop took five years and hundreds of listings to reach its figures, so a new shop should expect far less. Printables are easy to copy and the Etsy craft market is crowded, so original artwork and good keywords matter. The creator advises using specific, varied tags rather than generic ones like "digital download." Revenue figures come from Profit Tree's estimates, not the sellers' own records. The creator uses an affiliate link for Profit Tree (50% off a year of its pro plan), sells Canva templates herself, and promotes her own Etsy launch videos.
