Is Creative Fabrica a Good Platform for Passive Income?

Check out my shop (aff.link)

If you're a creative person who loves the idea of designing clipart, backgrounds, or textures, you might have wondered if selling on Creative Fabrica is worth it.

I started my shop with no social media following, no audience, and little experience. Now, 2.5 years later, I've made over $1,000 on the platform. And get this, my earnings increased by 132 % in 2025, despite barely updating my shop at all.

My past work generated passive income for me all year.

🤩🤩🤩

But it wasn’t always smooth sailing, and I learned a lot along the way. When I first started my shop on Creative Fabrica, I had no idea what to expect.

I wasn’t sure if this platform could be a reliable source of passive income, cause I felt like neither Etsy or Creative Market was taking me anywhere. But I decided to give it a shot, and I’m so glad I did. 

In my first two months, I earned just a few bucks, but the snowball started rolling! While that might not sound like much, it was enough to show me that this platform had potential. 

Fast forward to today, and I’ve made close to $1100 in total revenue. This breakdown is for anyone who’s curious about selling on Creative Fabrica but doesn’t know where to start or what to expect.

I’ll show you the numbers, the lessons I learned, and the strategies that worked for me, so you can start your own shop with confidence. Most importantly, it shows you that sticking with something that just pays peanuts in the beginning over time can become a recurring and stable passive monthly income.

About me

Hi, I’m Amada! I’m a multi-passionate creative who loves designing clipart, backgrounds, and textures. And I blog about all of those things too! Like many of you, I started my journey with no audience, no following, and no idea if this would work. But I was determined to give it a try.

I first started out with an Etsy shop, but quickly discovered how much easier and faster it was to upload to Creative Fabrica, and how amazing it is that it is completely passive income. This realisation made me practically abandon my Etsy shop to go all in on Creative Fabrica.

Over the past 2.5 years, I’ve built a shop on Creative Fabrica shop that has made over $1,000 in total revenue completely passively, and continues to pay me monthly. It’s not a fortune, but it’s proof that you can start from scratch and make progress, even without a big budget or a social media presence.

I created this breakdown to share my journey, my numbers, and my lessons with you, so you can skip the trial-and-error phase and know what you can expect when you start or continue to grow your own shop.

What If I Don’t Have Design Skills?

You don’t need to be a professional designer to succeed on Creative Fabrica. But I think it's important to be creative and like designing things! With tools like AI and user-friendly design software, it’s easier than ever to create digital products like clipart, textures, and backgrounds. I'll tell you which tool I'm using too!

What If I Don’t Have Time to run a shop? 

One of the best things about Creative Fabrica is that it’s a platform for passive income. Once you create and upload your products, they can continue to sell without much ongoing effort. There's no customer contact like on Etsy.

I’ll share tips on how to make the most of your time and create products that have long-term value. It's also super quick to upload listings on Creative Fabrica. 

When I started my shop on Etsy that was the thing I disliked the most, that I felt uploading new listings was so time-consuming. I don't think having an Etsy shop fully counts as passive income, but a shop on Creative Fabrica does!

I'll tell you more about this in one of the video lessons.

What If My Products Don’t Sell? 

It’s normal to feel uncertain when starting something new. That’s why I’m sharing my income breakdown and lessons learned, so you can see what worked for me and avoid common mistakes. The great thing about Creative Fabrica is that it is a subscription based service for customers.

They get unlimited downloads and therefore don't have to think twice about downloading something! You get a commission every time your products are downloaded by a member.

What if I already have a shop on another platform?

That's great, that means less work for you when you set up your shop! It's very common that sellers of digital products are active on more than one platform. 

But because of Creative Fabrica's subscription model, you might want to do some changes to your listings to make sure your products generate as much money as possible. I will tell you more about how to think when you make listings in the earnings breakdown!

Why is this product only $9?

Because I want it to be accessible and affordable for everyone! I could probably sell it for $29, but I chose to go for a price I know most people won't have to think twice about! I've also bought lots of tiny courses at this price level myself in the past, and I love them because they are so quick to complete. Set aside an hour of your day, and you are done!

Wasn't this product free before, I feel like I've seen it before?

Nope! But I built it around a small freebie I made last year and used the same design, so that's probably why you feel you've seen this before. 

That former freebie is still included, but I've also included three new videos with lots of information for you! In total it's almost an hour of content!

How long do I have access?

Lifetime access, watch it whenever you want!
