10 Canva Template Ideas for Non-designers

So, you may have heard all about designing Canva templates and making oodles of passive income - but there’s one problem - your creativity is about as stale as a 6 week old loaf of bread.

You’re in luck, there are templates that require next to no creativity or design know-how to create. The best part, sometimes the templates that are more useful than they are pretty actually sell MORE than the aesthetic ones.

Here are 10 template ideas to help get those creative juices flowing:

1. Order Forms

   • Order forms are a great digital product because they are applicable to many different industries. From landscaping to beauty products, there are so many niches you could design for. Choose one that you have a bit of knowledge in, this will give you the advantage of adding things into the order form that the general population wouldn’t think of. Think product variations or details that you could add in sections for under the main product information area.

2. Invoices

   • Invoices, every designers nightmare to design. Basically because they are typically so bland and boring, full of humdrum lines and text fields that never end. Perfect for a non-designer like you!

3. Client Intake Form

   • Think salons, tattoo parlours, gyms, massage therapists etc. Each of these businesses typically need a client waiver/intake form that has all of the necessary details of each customer.

4. Journal/Notebook Pages

   • Blank journals are one of the hottest new digital products, and those journals need pages. This is a great opportunity to make templates of lined paper, lined paper with blank sections, lined paper with inspirational quotes scattered in etc. Find inspiration in journals and planners and see what kind of templates you could design. BONUS! Design them in the correct dimensions for Kindle Direct Publishing to reach even more customers.

5. Resumes

   • Everyone, and I mean everyone hates designing their resume. Why not make it easy for them by creating a professional template that they can just easily input their information info.

6. Press Release

   • Straight from the Canva trending search reports - These templates are hot right now! Mostly because there isn’t a lot out there to choose from, so jump on it.

7. Price List / Pricing sheet - for wholesale clothing brands, beauty salons

   • There are a ton of businesses out there that need a price list. Typically this would have their logo at the top and then an itemized list of their products or services and the cost. Having a template like this would save business owners a lot of time.

8. Any type of lists, - cleaning lists, photography shot lists, vendor lists

   • Lists, say it with me now, lists! These could be your golden ticket to digital product prosperity. No ones likes making them from scratch, they are time consuming. Creating list templates for niches and industries you are familiar with (or have friends in) can save business owners a ton of time.

9. Daily/weekly planners

   • Who doesn’t love a good ol’ to-do list. Daily/weekly/monthly and yearly planners are trending like crazy right now. They don’t require a ton of design, they are typically just blank sections to write in your goals and thoughts for the day.

10. Letterhead

    • What business doesn’t need a letterhead? These are super easy and quick to design.

Now it’s your turn. Get started on those templates babe! You can do this.
