 Selling your CDR (CorelDRAW) files can be a great way to earn online as a designer. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to get you started:


🔹 1. Choose a Platform to Sell

You can sell your CDR files on marketplaces or your own website.

🛒 Popular Marketplaces:

  • Creative Market – Good for quality design assets.

  • Design Bundles – Easy to use, less competition.

  • Etsy – Great for templates, wedding invites, logos, etc.

  • Gumroad or Payhip – For digital product sales directly to customers.

  • Your own website (like howwhywhere.in) – Full control and branding.


🔹 2. Prepare Your CDR Files for Sale

Make your files professional and user-friendly:

  • Organize layers and elements.

  • Include fonts or link to free font sources.

  • Save in multiple formats if possible: .cdr, .pdf, .eps, .ai, etc.

  • Add a readme.txt or usage license if needed.


🔹 3. Create Attractive Previews

People buy with their eyes:

  • Make mockups or screenshots of your design in use.

  • Show different variations or colors.

  • Highlight what’s editable/customizable.


🔹 4. Write a Great Product Description

Include:

  • What the file includes.

  • What software is required (CorelDRAW version).

  • Use cases (e.g., logo design, t-shirt, invitation).

  • License info: personal/commercial use.


🔹 5. Set a Price

You can start small, e.g., ₹99–₹299 per file, and scale as your shop grows.


🔹 6. Promote Your Work

  • Share your files on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook groups.

  • Use YouTube shorts or reels to show the design process.

  • If you have a website, use SEO to bring traffic (I can help with that too).


🔹 7. Offer Freebies to Attract Buyers

Upload 1–2 free CDR files on your website or platforms like Behance/Freepik (with link to paid items).
