How to make free mockups for your Etsy printables - 100% FREE! No Photoshop! GIMP mockup tutorial

Do you want to know how to sell printables or digital downloads / instant downloads on Etsy for free? In this tutorial I will be teaching you how to get started selling printables on Etsy by showing you how to make mockups completely for FREE! You do NOT need Photoshop for this - contrary to popular belief you can make a mockup without Photoshop. Instead this will be a GIMP mockup tutorial, which is basically a free Photoshop.

Selling printables is a great way to make passive income on Etsy. BUT, selling printables requires mockups for your Etsy shop, with beautiful photography and great Etsy digital product listings. A mockup is a term used to stage your printable art in a picture frame (in case you didn't know).

If you don't know how to use mockups for Etsy, don't worry. In this tutorial I will show you how to create an Etsy listing photo and how to stage your printable art for FREE with a step by step walkthrough of GIMP. GIMP is a free mockup tool that can be used for Etsy. This video is great if you're looking for beginner tips on how to start an Etsy digital products shop. If you're intimidated on how to be successful on Etsy, just follow this guide.

Thank you so much for this series of tutorial videos. It is exactly what I have been looking for. I do not use GIMP as I have Affinity Designer. I expect I will be able to do all the things you have demonstrated. Love your tutorial style. Friendly, informative and not worried about being too perfect - charming ❤

Bless your heart! I was scratching my head trying to figure out how to professionally edit my mockups you are an amazing teacher!!!

here s some short cuts--you dont need to select & delete the ractangle part rather you can paste your design above the portrait section & merge both the layers.

Thank you for sharing all the information, it becomes quite expensive to start a business paying for all the subscriptions to use editing software and so forth, so a million thanks for your time also! Very helpful indeed! GOD bless!

I am learning to use Gimp for digitizing my artwork to sell prints and cards. How do you get rid of the watercolor paper texture?

Thank you so much for this. You made it so un-intimidating! I’d love to see a video to show how you’d do a mock-up that has the frame at an angle.
