It starts with the dream

How Michelle makes money online by selling printables on Etsy - How you can do the same too!

Taking 100% responsibility for your life

In this podcast episode below Michelle Rohr from the Secret Owl Society shares her story on how she makes money online by selling printables on Etsy. If Passive income online is something you’re interested in then this is a MUST listen episode. 

Listen to the podcast here

How to make money online selling printables

Michelle started selling printables a few years back. In her first 18 months, she made a few thousand, then once she started taking it seriously everything changed and she’s since gone on to sell over $60,000 of printables on Etsy alone.

I came across Michelle from the https://femaleentrepreneurassociation.com/ membership where as part of team FEA she teaches masterclasses on using Pinterest and creating printables. Her laid back, confident but down to earth demeanour attracted me and I ended up buying her course!

At this point, I’d already been selling printables and know how to use illustrator to design them so I was buying the course really for her mindset and to tap into the way she thinks. I’m so glad I did because in the year since my mindset has developed and my beliefs have changed in so many ways that I now see possibilities, not just with my printables but other valuable things I have to offer.

She sell printables online to make money - How you can do the same too! Make money selling printables on etsy - make sell printables etsy - make money selling printables etsy - create and sell printables

If you’ve been in the online space long enough you’ve definitely come across the rather masculine approach, very hustle heavy ‘online guru’s out there with their ‘make a million online’ courses and teachings.

 

Taking 100% responsibility for your life

Michelle is a breath of fresh air and the perfect antidote to that forceful approach. If you’re burnt out with the whole ‘make passive income or money online thing’ hearing Michelle’s story will inspire and encourage you, refresh and motivate you to see things through a different lens.

In this episode we chat about:

  • Life before her printable shop
  • Taking 100% responsibility for her life
  • The importance of having a dream for your life
  • How she prices her digital products
  • What’s really going on behind the questions and procrastination
  • How we’re not just designing printables, we’re on a personal development journey
  • How she marketed her products
  • Why we need to let go of lies and embrace the truth
  • Making things easier for her students to start

And lots more!

We talk about her course ‘Passive income with printables’ which I am a student of, and also an affiliate. If you’d like to read more about the course then click on my affiliate link here

Have you found yourself waiting even though you believe God gave you a message to share? Maybe he's even given you the plan but you still haven't launched? Perhaps if you're like me in the past you've been watching webinars and downloading freebies but you're still not taking action. It's quite common and I see it with women I've worked with. So many women stay stuck in preparation mode because they believe they need more confidence, more clarity, more qualifications, or more time before they begin. But that's not true. I believe you already have a seed to plant right now that can grow into something amazing. It's already in you, because it's your life story. In this week’s post, I’m sharing why the answer isn’t another course or another strategy, but learning to turn your Milestones, Mastery, and Message into your Mission. If you’re tired of preparing and ready to finally take the next step, this one is for you. Read the full post over on my Substack.

What does learning a new language have to do with starting a business? More than you might think. Today I'm sharing a personal story about moving from Zambia to the UK as a child, losing my mother tongue, and what my colleagues taught me about courage, resilience, and being willing to sound like a beginner. Because nobody becomes fluent by staying silent. And the same is true when you're building a business, sharing your story, or stepping into a new season of life.

I'm curious 🤔 have you've overcome a difficult season in your life... AND you've never shared what you learned because you're not sure anyone would pay for your experience. You've done the healing. You've gained the wisdom. You've come through the other side. But your story is still sitting on the shelf instead of helping someone else. Who can relate?

When things go wrong, it's so easy to wonder what you did to deserve it, or if God's somehow disappointed in you. But there's not always a reason, life happens. But I believe God will take what was meant for evil and then it for good. He'll use it to heal you and make you more like him. He'll use the same thing that broke you to help someone else come back to life. Your story matters. I'm opening up 3 spaces for 1:1 coaching in July to help women uncover the treasure in their story and start using it to create a service or product to impact others.

Somewhere along the way I had equated being a Christian with everything going well and life growing in all the outward ways (status, money, influence). And for some time that was my life! ✅I studied the degree I wanted at the University of my choice. ✅I got a job in fashion (both competitive and hard to get into). ✅Kept increasing my income. ✅I got married, bought a home and had kids. But then…everything unraveled 😵‍💫 I experienced postnatal depression. Financial pressure mounted. We burned through savings trying to make ends meet. I developed arthritis and struggled with everyday tasks that should have felt simple. And honestly, I was DEVASTATED and questioned God’s love for me. But here’s the thing - while it was a time of intense pain and hardship, from that pain, my business “It Starts with a Dream” was born. I shared my journey, created planners, journals then courses and then coaching. The truth is: God uses the hard things. Every disappointment taught me something. Every struggle revealed something in me that needed healing. Every season of loss developed compassion, wisdom, resilience, and dependence on Him. Nothing was wasted. And that's what I now see in the women I work with too. So many of them believe they're disqualified because their journey has been messy. Because they're still healing. Because they don't have the perfect testimony or the perfect plan. But often the very things they're tempted to hide are the things God wants to use. The marriage lessons 🔥 The parenting lessons 🔥 The career lessons 🔥 The wilderness seasons 🔥 You see, the calling isn't separate from your story. It's built from it. If you've been sensing that God wants to use your experiences to help other women through coaching, courses, or digital products, but you don't know how to turn your story into something tangible, that's exactly what I help women do. I’m actually opening up (3) 1:1 spots, beginning July 1, to help you do this at a price point that won’t break the bank. If you’d like to learn more and discern whether this can work for you, send me a DM or book a call bit.ly/DCCalled

2 big things right now... I'm closing down part of my offers to make space for the new. It's been hard to do so, because I'm so proud of what I'd created and how they've helped people. But I've not been feeling passionate about them and not looking to update them at present because I'm really been focused on designing my life and inner healing. So I want to make space for what comes out of that. For the rest of the month you can get these amazing offers. 1. I'm running a 70% off sale on Etsy until the end of the month then the shop will go into holiday mode and possibly deleted. https://www.etsy.com/shop/itstartswiththedream 2. I'm retiring my original course Planners on demand (create planners with print on demand) and it is available to buy at 65% off iitstartswiththedream.com/plannersondemand OR type *demand* to get the link to your DMs You'll be getting amazing value and all the other bonuses like planner canva templates, sales page templates and more! #PrintableStationery #etsyprintables #lifeplanner #printables #lifeplanneraddict #lifeplanners #lifeplannerd

The part of your story you keep editing out? That’s probably the exact part someone else needs to hear. Not the polished version. The burnout. The cancelled launch. The year you lost yourself a little. The rebuilding. We try so hard to skip to the redeemed ending that we forget people connect through the messy middle. Your reader doesn’t need another perfect woman online. She needs proof that someone survived the chapter she’s currently living. Polished people are easy to admire. Authentic people are the ones who make people stay. Maybe the part you’re trying to hide is actually the very thing God wants to use. 🌿 I wrote a blog/Substack post about sharing the scar, not the wound, and why your story matters more than you think. bit.ly/burnout26 #burnout #AuthenticBranding #ChristianCreative #PurposeDrivenLife #WomenWhoCreate #FaithAndBusiness #PersonalGrowthJourney #CreativeEntrepreneur #CalledToCreate #WomenInBusiness
