Bestselling printables on Etsy in June 2024 seem to be planners!
I have used the search term Printable in the Etsy search bar and listed the items with a Bestseller tag below. I ran the search on the 7th June 2024. Here’s what I found:

Now, before you jump in and create a product to compete, let’s analyse the top ten bestselling printables on Etsy in June 2024
Planners are back with a vengeance! Most printable planner pages can be used as digital templates in digital planners. If you are not providing an option for this on a listing, you really need to be.
What I have noticed is that the planner printables also offer a range of sizes. For success, you have to offer US Letter, Half Letter, A4 and A5. Other listings will beat yours and sell if your potential customer doesn’t see their size. Remember, Etsy is global. Provide value by adding options. Canva offers a super quick resize option. It really is a no brainer to offer size options.
Thinking outside the box on the top ten this month, it tells me people are starting to plan. They are getting organized, probably because the busy summer months are upon us. Think about what you are doing this summer and what printables you could use. Travel planners? Packing Lists for Camp?
Which Digital Product is Best to Sell on Etsy?
Comparing the bestsellers in May to the bestselling printables on Etsy in June 2024, there has been a drop off on the information type downloads and a shift back to printable planners. There has been a snake oil type of thing going on with selling printables which is no way anything to do with Etsy. Let me give you my opinion. Some bright spark has developed MRR – Master Resell Rights which allows anyone to buy something and resell it exactly as it is. No changes, no rebranding, nothing. Just buy and sell on. As a result, many people have “invested” in these MLR products and the market is flooded. My mantra of 10% product 90% effort has now never been truer. Go to Etsy and type in MRR in the search bar. You’ll see loads with the popular now tag, but look beyond that. How many of these products are THE SAME PRODUCT? If you were to buy an MRR product to resell it, how would you make potential customers buy YOUR product? They’re all the same, so the only point of difference is price. A race to the bottom.
Please Be Original. The Worlds Needs You, Not More of the Same
I’m not saying don’t use templates. But change your templates to tell your message, in your style for your customers.
