One of them is to sell your design online, on one of many platforms created for a competitive digital market. Whether your designs are printable on canvas, cushions, T-shirts or business cards, one of these selected platforms will become your favorite marketplace. Explore their communities, get inspired by designers worldwide, and make money selling your fonts, templates and much much more.

You can arrange your own store and set your prices, and Creative Market will take 30% of the items sold. Their community counts over five million users, which makes it a challenge to find your way to your audience, but also too good to resist.
Big Cartel
Unlike your stores on other websites, this platform lets you customize and brand your own shop around your personal visual identity. Each shop is supported with access to analytics, market research tools, and social network tools, so it’s even easier to attract your customers through social media you already use. They have a free plan, and their full support plan will cost you $29.99 per month.
