Common mistakes when selling as a designer

Designers often make these mistakes when starting to sell online.

Extreme perfectionism before launching

Designers tend to polish forever. But a published product generates more than a perfect product sitting on your hard drive.

Launch at 80% perfection and improve based on real feedback. Your first product is for learning, not winning an award.

Not creating bundles or upsells

Selling individual templates at $9-19 limits your revenue. You need too many sales to generate significant income.

Create themed packs ($49-99) and complete collections ($149-299). Average order value increases 3-5x with well-designed bundles.

Relying solely on third-party marketplaces

Creative Market charges 40% commission. Gumroad 10%. Your margin shrinks dramatically on third-party platforms.

Sell in your own store with Crealo (5% commission, 0% Pro). Use marketplaces for visibility but drive traffic to your store.
