You can definitely make a digital planner to sell on Etsy by simply using Canva. However, keep in mind that you can only make approximately 200 Slides on Google Slides. That means that this tutorial is best for smaller planners.
In case you want to create a bigger planner, please use PowerPoint or Indesign.
First off thank you so much for sharing!!! Second thing, I'm sure you know but, just in case you don't, Canva allows you to add links to other pages. So when you export as a PDF it'll do what you're doing here. I just learned this tonight after I watched yours and had to share in case someone else didn't know this.
I have been using Canva for years but I learned soooo much from this video. Thank you! Very clear, fun, and to the point!
THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤ THERE IS NO ONE MORE REALISTIC AND HONEST THAN YOU ❤ GBY
Ahhhh. You are such a saint. Thank you. I had a vision in my head for what I wanted to create but wasn't sure what the best tools were to create them in.
Yay!!! So happy to hear that! The best tool is indesign for sure but it is quite expensive. Canva is okay for design. The links don’t always work tho :( aaaand the biggest thing is that you can only create 200 pages. However, you can use Canva for designs and LibreOffice for hyperlinks :)
Best planner tutorial ever! Thank you very much :)
Thank you for this!! This is one of the most helpful videos that I have found about this topic
Yayyyy 🎉🎉🎉 thank you so much!
Your instructional has helped immensely! Thankful to God for you sharing your experience ❤
Thank you, this is such a in depth video!
Thank you so much, I am so happy you liked it! Please let me know if there is anything else you want to learn:)
Literally best tutorial on CZcams
Thanku sooo much ma’am ❤ ….. been searching for this exactly……both your canva method and this slide method are amazing……❤
This is so helpful. Love your video❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is a very helpful video. Thank you!
Thank you! I am so happy that you found it helpful!:)
I was trying to design a digital planner watching another YT Video/Channel. The person teaching only had portrait style. But for the life of me I could get the rulers to be perfect without first making a guide with an element. The presenter made the design an inch bigger in both directions and made faux pages to make it feel more real .. after research I noticed most online are landscape
Hi, Wendy, if you are planning to sell your digital planner I’d highly recommend to create both versions. So I’d test the horizontal version first & then if it works well & you get sales, I’d try the vertical one as well ☺️
@@RealisticPlanner awww thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
Great video, thank you!! I learned a lot. I have a question though: Are we supposed to make an editable version of the PDF so that we can add our notes, or is it supposed to be printed? DO you have any videos on how to create editable PDFs?
Amazing tutorial…super easy to follow no BIG secrets or the need to pay…simply diy!!!!
Thank you so happy you liked it! ☺️☺️☺️
Thanks girl you're saviour
I like your alignment tricks, so helpful
Thank you so much! ❤️
I have paid so much money for canva/etsy courses this month, and wish I could've just found this video! This is so awesome and easy to follow. Thank you !
I'm so glad you found it useful!:)) Is there anything else you would like to learn that you couldn't find in the Canva/Etsy courses?:)
@@RealisticPlannerthe next step! 😊 How to actually design mockups, upload this to Etsy please 🙏
@@danijelastrauss7069 I do have a video on that:) czcams.com/video/DmWzQ1xipzY/video.htmlsi=yVnxCyfHGcGlyBQy
@@RealisticPlanner THANK YOU! 🙏
omg thank you so much for this :) you are a lifesaver!
YAYYY! Happy to help!
Thanks! Your video was very informative.
Thank you so much I am so happy it's useful:)
lo amé, muchas gracias
Muchas gracias, Sarah! ❤
that was a great video, thanks!!!
Thank you so much, I’m super happy you found it useful!
Thank you so much, great video and info
Thank you so much, I am so happy you found it useful!:)
Oh my gosh this was so great and I learned so much from your tutorial! Thank you so much for this!! I did have a question about hyperlinking the days of the week. At the end of the video you mentioned that but I wasn't sure how to go about it? Where can I link it to, should I create separate pages for the days of the week or something else? Thank you so much :))
Brilliant video. I've watched a few over the weekend, but your planner looked the best.
What I cannot seem to find out is how people can use the planner if we sell it digitally. How do they write in it?
Thanks for sharing.
You are fantastic !
That’s so sweet of you, thank you!
Thanks for your video, excellent. One question, why you worked the hyperlinks in Google Slides, can it be done with Canva or doing hyperlinks with Canva generate problems? Greetings, thanks again
Thank you
yay 💛
Great video. doubt is, do we need to create all from zero, or, can we use some layout that Canva provides? Thanks.
Thanks for this incredible tutorial 😍😍😍
Thank you so much you are so sweet! 🥰
@@RealisticPlanner the pleasure is all mine 😊
Thanks for your video you did great. Please how can I write on my planner. When I click the key pad doesn't come up for me to write something. Please I will be waiting for your feed back
Very helpful and informative video
Yay! I am so happy to hear that:)
Loved this! Do you happen to have the first version (not the pink boxes, just the grey ones with coloured tabs) for sale? I'd happily buy and use it! 😃
Not yet! But I am currently working on it & I will send you a link as soon as it's available, thank you so much! ☺️
thank you so much!!! this is super clear and concise. Just a quick question, how were you able to change your background [like you did at 27:01 ] and still made sure those hyperlinks would still be there after you changed it? is there a way to permamently anchor them into the master slide? thank you :)
So the hyperlinks are usually linked to specific objects, not the background. So basically you can change the background as much as you want as long as you have all the hyperlinked buttons on the top. I hope that answers your question:)
How do you change from potrait to horizontal
Thank you so much for taking your precious time to share this great video. Because of it, I learned to do some new things on Canva and Google slides.
Question: Do you happen to have any video showing how to create a planner each month that would have, for example, the month of March, separate pages (daily planner) for each day in March, and a weekly planner in one pdf?
Thank you Michelle! I don’t have one yet, I am working on it and I will post it soon:) I’ll send you a link once its live ❤️
@@RealisticPlanner Your welcome and Thank you.
I can not find the shadow you have used , (I also have a pro version) it looked nice :( can you teach how to do a cover as well.
I found that by making a master template and making it into a png and pasting it and then putting the hyperlinks is much simpler easier.
Hey I just found out about this and actually could in the future buy one as it's more clever than an agenda and fastar and fucntional than just adding tasks to the phone's calendar. So I wanted to know on canva, for example for the calendar, so you have the sample already and on the left editor you ahve the images you want to add as a background, how do I do that? Cos I've been googling but only shows how to use palette color.. I would liek to add my own uploaded or created images, however how do I add them to the daily planner aka calendar pages background? Thanks! Hope I was clear enough I wanted to put here a direct link image but can't seem to find snipit.
Thank you so very much! So helpful! Do you have another video on having the tabs move as you click each page, so it would look more like using a planner?
Would I have to make a separate page for each in Canva, then add hyperlinks to both sides in Slides?
I don't have it at the moment but I'll definitely create one and send you the link! And the answer to your last question is yes:)
@@RealisticPlanner Thank you! 🙂
Thanks a lot!
What are the days on top used for in a monthly planner?
They’re usually used in undated planners. That means that the person can circle the day they are on:) for example, if it’s Monday, they’d circle M
I don’t have a computer, would designing it be the same if I bought a Bluetooth keyboard for my tablet?
Pro design method 👍
Thank you so much!
Can you hyperlink multiple pages within the same month? I’m trying to hyperlink the calendar, weekly planning, savings etc per month.
Hello there. Thanks so much for this video, it was extremely helpful and you are a great teacher. Any how, how are you able to copy the squares you created over the tabs for the hyperlink? I have a MacBook and you do it so fast in the video, I am always looking for the short cuts.
Hi! Thank you so much:) 1. Select the object (you can hold SHIFT to select multiple ones) 2. Hold OPTION key on Mac. Then it will copy all the selected squares for you. Let me know if you have any other questions:)
Hi 👋🏽. After you have added the hyperlinks to the tabs, can you upload your index page or weekly planner layout to the edit theme portion of Google slides to add different hyperlinks or does that cancel out your original hyperlinks? I have been breaking days trying not figure this out. Thanks 😊
@RealisticPlanner - I have templates already. Can I just drag and drop them into the page guides?
I Don't know English but thanks to you I managed to make an agenda🎉🎉
Wow!!!! Great job!!! Im so glad to hear that ❤️❤️❤️
The dot thing- some devices have setting that when you press spacebar too fast or continuously for 2x, it will make a dot. It is called hotkey I think? Or shortcuts..
@RealisticPlanner I'm a bit confused with the sizing of the document...So basically you're using US letter landscape and dividing it into two so you have two pages. Did I understand correctly?
thank you for this lovely video; however, I am wondering why is there no part 2 or 3 to this? I paused and watched the entire video and followed through and the video comes to an end with no second or third part. So now I have a blank page I copied for the past 1 hour and I have no clue what to do next! HELP!
Keep pushing 🤞🏻😍
aww thank you so MUCH!
@@RealisticPlanner Don't mention it
How to make horizontal view?
This might seem like a stupid question, but once the planner is made, do you just print it out to use??
Hi, what a great video! :) In addition to the shadow below the pages, do you know how to create fake extra pages to the planner (I mean on the sides to give it the illusion of multiple pages) so that it looks more realistic by any chance? Any tips would be helpful x
Yes, of course, I’ll make a video on that soon!;)
@@RealisticPlanner great! :D
The video is LIVE 🎉🎉🎉 czcams.com/video/NzCHl6x_2Ww/video.html
@@RealisticPlanner thank you so much!!! 😀🥰 amazing!
@@sylli90 ❤❤❤
how do i make it horizontal?
Good afternoon. I am loving how easy your instructions are so. However, I have hit a snag. I am at the part where its time to create the hyperlinks. When I click on Slide, then edit theme, my slide is not in the edit theme spot. I've went back a few steps and retried it several times, slide number 2 is still not transferring over to the edit theme. Thanks, please help. Everything was going so perfect. 🙂🙁
Hello, Pamela, first of all, thank you so much for leaving such a lovely comment. As for your digital planner, try to copy "slide 2" and then go to themes and paste it there:)
are you able to transfer this into goodnotes or notability with the hyperlinks?
Yes! Just save it as a standard pdf and upload the file:)
Heyy firstly great video ! you made it so easy to follow through the video ! I was just wondering how you would go about posting this planner on Etsy as a Digitial download ?
Hi, Jovanna ✨thank you so much! I actually have a video on that as well: How to Upload Large Files on Etsy + FREE Digital Stickers
czcams.com/video/GZmNTjvk-NM/video.html
@@RealisticPlannerwow thank you so much !
can you show how to sell this kind of item on Etsy? video was so beneficial and i would appreciate so much if you answer! :)
Thank you for this video, it's very helpful. I have tried doing this but once I opened the final PDF and after zooming in the planner is pixelated (even after downloading high-resolution PNG from Canva) Any tips?
Thank you
Hi! Can I ask you what is the size of your Canva page & what is the size of Libre Office pages?
@@RealisticPlanner hi! I've used US letter size on both Canva and Googleslides.
This square idea…You’re genius! i wish i could see your video before i made my planner but i can do it for my another planners 🤗 I think hyperlink is more difficult when you do the months separately. Do you have any suggestions about it?
Thank you so much that’s very sweet of you!
Honestly, the best way to go around it is to buy a template with hyperlinks ready for either Indesign or Affinity publisher & then add your designs to them.
However, if there are any links you could keep the same throughout all the pages, then just copy & paste them. Otherwise, think about which hyperlinks are actually adding value to the client and add those only. Besides that, unfortunately, it is a lot of manual labor:)
@@RealisticPlanner yeah i agree. thanks a lot for your suggestions. I will try these. It really helps 💗
Hi dear, do you have a video about pricing? how much should I Charge for a planner like that
Hello, Hana, thank you so much! Yes, I’ll make a video about pricing soon ❤️❤️❤️
Why do it like this rather than in bound documents, because they will bound it for you. Is it solely because its a digital planner and not making it to print? Would we change it if we wanted a printed version?
Do you have a tutorial on how to design a digital yearly planner? I started making one but Canva won't let me add more pages because it's too long. I can't get past 160 pages. I was trying to do Monthly/Weekly/Daily style for busy business owners. Any advice?
Hi Bri, I actually filmed it today, I still need to edit it though:) I’ll send you a link as soon as it’s done!:)
@@RealisticPlanner Awesome! Thanks
@@RealisticPlannerlooking for it too
"me and my rectangles, bestfriends" 🤣 This was super helpful! I'm new to creating planners on Canva and I was wondering if you know how to make it compatible to both tablet and smartphone?
I’m glad someone got the joke haha and I’m super happy it’s helpful:) depends on what you want to do but I’d create one in portrait mode and see how it looks like. All three devices have different screen size so it’s difficult to create one planner that would match all of them.
@@RealisticPlannerAlso, how do you protect your digital products if you are to sell them?
@@isaimachine on Etsy, you can report those accounts if they try to sell it. Also, you can have the copyright. I personally don't worry about that too much:)
@@RealisticPlanner Thank you so much! Keep it up
@@isaimachine thank you so much! Please let me know if there is anything specific that you'd like to learn:)
I want to ask you
Is there any way to edit and change the original text of the template of digital notebooks/planners ?
Hi! So if you have the template in Canva, you can easily do that. In case you don’t, you could still add a square image on the text and then add your own. However, its better to have the Canva template, that way you can edit everything and just upload it to Google slides
@@RealisticPlanner when I Add the square image and the new text
Is the hyperlink will be still working?
And how can I do that because I don't have Ipad.. I know I can do that on canva but some pdf is more than 100 MG so is there anything else?
@@ayoubjoughmane it's better to do that in Google Slides, Powerpoint or Keynote:) Canva's links are pretty unpredictable. So it's way better to do that on the other platforms. Or Indesign for that matter. However, if the link is already there and you just put a square image in Canva and export that document as PDF Standard, it should work. But as I've mentioned before, Canva's links just don't work sometimes. Really, for no reason.:)
@@RealisticPlanner oh ok thank you very much I appreciate 🙏🏻
Very helpful! Although, I didnt quite understand how you insert the days pages and setup with the master theme?
Thank you for your comment! I am currently sick but once I am better, I will make a specific and more detailed video about that:)
@@RealisticPlanner Take your time !
@@lsxw123 Thank you! ❤❤❤
I had the same question on how to add the days? Did that video ever get posted?
where do i find the hold option key please?
Hi, you can find it here: images.app.goo.gl/sDz1FrBtMmVvT82t8 :)
Can you do the hyperlinks on Canva? I would love to send you my creation
Hi, unfortunately, I don't do that personally:) But I am sure you can find someone on Etsy who would do that for you ;)
this might be really silly but I'm not able to deselect:") idk why:"")
So after downloading the PDF, what’s next?
If you download it from Google Slides, then you can just upload it to GoodNotes or Notability or any other editing app (the free one is Xodo) & use your planner on your iPad:)
How do you click R if you doing it on the phone
On the phone it is different. In that case, go to the elements and choose a rectangle shape. You can try searching for rectangle in search. You should see the elements button on the bottom.:)
you are one smart girl.
Thank you:)
How do we create for planner more than 100 pages? And how to link the hyperlinks if need to merge the pdf?
That is a tricky one, ideally you’d want to use indesign for those cases. BUT I do have a free solution that I will post a tutorial of probably next week:)
@@RealisticPlanner I'm excited for the next week.
@@RealisticPlanner Yes please! I’ve been stuck for a week 😩
Hi! Did you ever post the solution by the way for this?
@@yvonnegonzalez9794 Hi, yes, I did, sorry I didn't post the link here! Here it is: czcams.com/video/Re1u9B3LlRA/video.html this is the way to do it for free.
You didn’t show us the most important part, how do I export it?
I came across your video on the hunt to understand the legal requirements to sell a product created on Canva. I have canva pro and wanted to know if you can download it as a PDF and sell it as a PDF for Goodnotes or Notability etc? So many videos have said you can only sell items made on canva using a link which is then to be used/edited on canva. I get that you will need to use multiple elements to make it original, it is the part of can you sell it as a pdf that is so confusing 🤦♀
Hello, Kerry, you can sell the pdf but you have to make sure that you change the design elements. For example, you can’t just take a template, turn it into a pdf and then sell it. However, you can change that template and then sell it as a pdf. Make sure to change the colors, move things around, change the fonts, etc. :)
@@RealisticPlanner Thank you so much! Your videos have been such a help as I’m new to all of this ✨
@@kerryanneh yay, I am so happy to hear that!:)
Maybe a silly question but how do you make the page horizontal
Ran to the comments to get the answer to this. I really hope someone responds
Hi, not silly at all ;) You can do that by reversing the US letter size. I choose the size in 1:13 of this video. Just type in 11 x 8.5 in. as a custom size and you will have a horizontal planner ❤
@@kekerobinson3314 You can create a horizontal planner by choosing 11 x 8.5 in size. I choose the size of the planner in 1:13 of this video ❤
Thank you.
But can I ask why not hyperlink in Canva? If You name each page or first page of each section in the editor screen on Canva You can link to each tab?
Great video. Allowed me to understand how people made those realistic planners
of course, the reason we don't do it on Canva is that sometimes the links don't work after you link them there. :) The best way I have ever found to do the hyperlinks is either in InDesign (but it's paid) or LibreOffice (it's free). I have a tutorial on that too: czcams.com/video/fLjtSGX2ORs/video.html But the main reason my own choice would be these programs is that they allow you to create digital planners with more than 250+ pages. Canva only allows 250 if you are lucky:)
@@LifestyleDIYW yay, I am so happy to hear that! You can make an even more realistic version but then you may need either Photoshop or at least Procreate ;)
Do You know where I can find a cheat sheet for codes/commands to use for Canva? Are these universal codes ?
Hi, sorry for just getting back to you! Yes, actually Canva has some
This infographic is pretty helpful: www.canva.com/learn/canva-shortcuts-infographic/
And on Canva itself you can see them next to the buttons:)
double space becomes dot, check your pc dictionary option
Will do, thank you!!!
This video was very helpful. Thanks. But you forgot August! 🤦🏽♀️
hahah thank you so much! Yes, I am actually going to redo this template:)
I'm trying to create a digital planner in canva. after 26 pages. canva says the file size is too large. does adding a lot of color affect it? I'm planning to make 200 pages... hic
Hi, it’s never happened to me before but here are a couple of things that I would do:) 1. Export everything as individual PNG images. 2. Go to compresspng.com and compress all the images. 3. Make sure that the page size you are choosing on Canva isn’t to big. I’d go for the US letter size. 4. Upload all the compressed images to your Google slides and add hyperlinks there. You can create multiple pages on Canva that way and use Google slides for the final result. Google slides allows 200 slides. Powerpoint -has an unlimited number of slides. You could also use keynote if that’s your preference. I hope this helps!:)
Yes having the same issue as well.
@@nolimitkk2715 I personally would create the designs on Canva but wouldn't repeat the same pages. I'd do that part in Google Slides. Would it be useful if I made a detailed video on that?
@@RealisticPlanner Yes pls , because I don’t want to have to take pages out my planner.
@@nolimitkk2715 Perfect, I will try to create it either tomorrow or by latest next week:)
why not use the rulers instead of squares to align the pages
Definitely use rulers if it's more comfortable to you:)
If you zoom into the page... you can make the element smaller.
Thank you!
I couldn’t even get past the first two mins😢 us letter is giving me a vertical document can someone help
you can already add hyperlinks on canva why would you also use google slides to do the same thing
Hey, many times Canva links don’t work properly:) so yes, you can add them but if you are going to add 10+ links, I’d use a different program
how did she get horizntal view!!!!!!
They're helping me but I don't need help. Haha. That's what I say.
Even better haha
Why not just create margins?
The fake spiral is Windows 95 ghetto.
Hey, Jim thanks for your comment haha. Many people like these on Etsy but obviously you can choose your own:)
@@RealisticPlanner I'm aware that most of them consist of middle-aged Republican women with blue-collar jobs, displaying little style, and seemingly trapped in the late 1990s.
Sorry, but I watched this till the end and no idea why you did all this steps, not clear in terms of practicing for the buyers how this planner can be used by them. Also, how do we export it into Etsy or other platforms.
Congratulations as you did monetize this video from my time.
Are you married ?
Yes, I have a partner:)
