Over the past four years, she has earned more than $18,000 selling digital planners, budgeting templates, and productivity tools through Etsy while keeping her full-time job.

In this interview, Sarah shares how she discovered digital products, how long it took to make her first sale, and what she would do differently if she were starting today.

Q: Sarah, what were you doing before you started selling digital products?

Sarah:

I was working as an administrative coordinator for a healthcare company.
