Have you thought about starting a new side hustle? I’m sure many of you will answer YES! Did you know that moms are making a good income from their stationery businesses? Let’s take a look take at what some moms are doing to get to the money. Some links may be affiliate links. I do get a small commission if you purchase them.
One sec before we jump into the post. I wanted to mention that I love that I can make these products anywhere that I am. If you have a smartphone then you can also create these products. Sometimes I am way too busy to be sitting down by computer or laptop. If this sounds like you then continue reading.
Why would you want to sell digital or physical stationery products in the first place?
If you are anything like me, you are always on the go. I have always been obsessed with buying products that help me stay organized. About a year ago, I realized I could start profiting from something I was passionate about.
Making digital and physical products are not as complicated as you may think. You will be fine if you have basic computer skills and can work your way around a few social media apps. People are always in need of products that will help them stay productive. Productivity is the name of the game, especially if you want to stay organized on an everyday basis.
Creating products can be designed in the comfort of your home, and don’t take a large chunk of money to get started. I use Canva to create beautiful digital downloads to help busy moms stay on task and keep track of their tasks. The extra income is great, and I get joy from helping my mamas out there.
–Some links may be affiliate links. I do earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them. It is at no additional cost to you.
What type of products could you sell?
Everyone is looking for new ways to stay organized and on task. The possibilities are endless. It is important to pick a niche and run with it. Stick to what you love so you don’t get bored creating your products. I am a mom, so I loved the idea of making products that would help other moms out.
You can create stationery to help brides plan their weddings. Health planning is a very popular niche. Productivity planning is trendy; products help with meal planning or house cleaning tasks.
You also need to think about if you want to create a physical product or a digital download. Will your physical product be handmade, or will you use a company to make your product? Keep it simple in the beginning.
I currently create my own notepads, so I will link a few products I love using. There is a video link to my blog’s homepage if you want ideas on getting started.

Where could you sell your digital or physical products?
Finding where you want to sell your products could take some research. You can sell on your website. WooCommerce is embedded on my website, and I sell on Etsy. As a matter of fact, pop-up shops are a fun way to bring in more sales.
Let’s not forget about selling on social media platforms. It’s best to use a platform that you are comfortable with. Another piece of advice is not to feel pressured to sell your products on every platform. Just pick one or two and see how you like them. You can then start using many different platforms once you get comfortable.
Selling digital and physical stationery products can create financial freedom
I’ll mention it again in case you didn’t see it the first time. Selling digital and physical stationery products can help you earn extra income. You can use that money to pay off debts or plan for your family’s future. Have you heard of the term,
DON’T PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET
Selling stationery is a perfect way to create multiple streams of income. I sell both physical and digital items. You can literally make money in your sleep (passive income, baby).
You can still sell physical and digital stationery even if you are a busy mom
Y’all, I work a full-time outside-of-the-home job and still find time to tend to my stationery business. I run a blog and also a youtube channel. I find it easy if you start small and sell a few products. Once my business grows, more products will be added to my website and other platforms.
If you find it challenging to prioritize your time, you may want to wake up a few hours early in the morning or stay up a few hours longer at night. Your sacrifice will pay off. I hope I have given you some great tips on why selling physical and digital products is a great side hustle for busy moms.
