Digital Products for Your Resin Art Business
Digital products give you a way to earn income beyond your time spent on custom orders. While resin art is inherently a service-based business, selling instructional guides, templates, design files, and resource collections lets you monetize your expertise once and sell it repeatedly. This is particularly valuable because your ideal customers—DIY enthusiasts, aspiring resin artists, and small business owners—are actively searching for knowledge to improve their craft.
The best digital products for a resin art business solve specific problems your target audience faces: achieving the right pour ratio, troubleshooting bubbles, creating professional finishes, or scaling production efficiently. These products work because they leverage expertise you already have.
Resin Art Beginner’s Course
What it is: A structured video course covering resin fundamentals—safety, material selection, pouring techniques, curing, finishing, and common mistakes. Modules are typically 20-40 minutes total, broken into 5-10 short lessons.
Who buys it: Hobbyists and people considering resin art as a side business who want to avoid expensive trial-and-error.
How to create it: Film yourself demonstrating core techniques in your studio, using clear lighting and close-ups of hands and materials. Edit videos in free or affordable software like CapCut or DaVinci Resolve. Write lesson notes as PDFs with material links and safety reminders. Host on Teachable, Kajabi, or Gumroad, which handle payments and student access.
Where to sell it: Your own website (builds email list and authority), Etsy digital downloads, or Udemy (though Udemy takes 50% commission and controls pricing).
Realistic income: $500–$3,000 per month if you reach 10–50 students per month at $30–$50 per course.
Resin Art Design Template Bundle
What it is: A collection of ready-made designs—geometric patterns, color palettes, inclusions layouts, mold configurations—that customers can customize and use as guides for their own projects. Typically 20-50 designs in high-resolution PDF or image format.
Who buys it: Resin artists who lack design confidence or want to skip the creative planning phase and move straight to execution.
How to create it: Create designs in Canva, Adobe Illustrator, or Procreate based on projects you’ve already completed successfully. Photograph finished pieces and create mood boards showing color combinations, layout ideas, and pour patterns. Organize templates by category (coasters, jewelry, home decor, river tables). Export as PDFs with sizing guides.
Where to sell it: Etsy is the strongest marketplace for this; customers specifically search for resin templates there. Also sell on your website and Gumroad.
Realistic income: $300–$1,500 per month with steady organic Etsy traffic and seasonal spikes around gift-buying periods.
Mold-Making and Casting Guide
What it is: A detailed PDF guide or video walkthrough explaining how to create custom molds from original designs, handle difficult pours, demold without damage, and achieve specific finishes. Includes troubleshooting for common casting issues.
Who buys it: Resin artists wanting to create signature pieces or small business owners looking to scale production with consistent results.
How to create it: Document your mold-making process with step-by-step photos. Write clear instructions covering silicone types, release agents, undercuts, and release techniques.

Where to sell it: Your website (position it as a premium resource), Gumroad, and Facebook groups where resin artists gather.
Realistic income: $200–$800 per month; this is a specialized guide with a narrower audience, but higher perceived value justifies $30–$60 pricing.

Who buys it: People starting a resin art side business or considering it full-time who want to avoid costly oversights.
How to create it: Compile everything you wish you’d known before launching: business registration steps, supplier contacts, insurance considerations, production cost calculations, marketing channels that work. Format as a downloadable PDF with clickable links and a simple layout. Consider adding a Google Sheets cost calculator template.
Where to sell it: Your website, Gumroad, and promote via social media to followers considering business launch.
Realistic income: $150–$600 per month; appeals to a smaller, more intent-driven audience willing to pay $20–$40 for actionable clarity.
Resin Color Mixing Chart and Palette Guide
What it is: A printable or digital reference showing how to mix epoxy or polyester resins with pigments to achieve specific colors, plus a curated collection of color combinations that work well together. Includes opacity levels, pigment-to-resin ratios, and notes on curing time effects.
Who buys it: Resin artists frustrated with color inconsistency or wanting to develop a recognizable aesthetic faster.
How to create it: Mix small batches of your most successful colors and photograph them under consistent lighting. Document exact pigment amounts and resin type used. Create a visual reference sheet in Canva or Illustrator. Include notes on which pigments work better with specific resin types and which combinations create muddy results.
Where to sell it: Etsy (high search volume for color guides), your website, and pin-able designs on Pinterest driving traffic to your shop.
Realistic income: $400–$1,200 per month; lower price point ($10–$20) but steady repeat purchases and impulse buys from browsers.

Where to sell it: Your website (positions you as professional and safety-conscious), Gumroad, and consider offering free to your email list as a trust-building lead magnet.
Realistic income: $100–$400 per month; narrow but loyal audience; consider offering this partially free to build authority.

Realistic income: $400–$1,800 per month; appeals to serious practitioners willing to pay $40–$75 for expertise that saves materials and time.
Getting Started With Digital Products
- Start with a template bundle. This requires the least production time and technical setup. Organize designs from pieces you’ve already created, photograph them well, and package as PDFs. You can launch this on Etsy within a week.
- Identify your biggest customer question. Review DMs, comments, and emails—what do people ask repeatedly? Turn that into a focused guide or short course. A troubleshooting guide or beginner’s checklist typically takes 1-2 weeks to produce.
- Create one product fully before launching another. Finish, test, and sell the first product for at least 30 days. You’ll learn what your audience actually wants and can refine messaging before scaling to multiple products.
- Set up a simple sales platform. Use Gumroad for simplicity or add a shop section to your website using Shopify, Squarespace, or WordPress. Start here before building complex email sequences.
- Promote only what you’ve genuinely created and tested. Your reputation as a resin artist depends on the quality of your products. Avoid reselling generic content or bundling products you haven’t verified.
Pricing Your Digital Products
Resin artists buying digital products are typically doing so because they value their own time and materials—they understand cost avoidance. Price templates and guides between $10–$25 (impulse-buy range for hobbyists). Price structured courses and specialized guides between $30–$75 based on depth and production quality. Courses over 90 minutes of video content and comprehensive guides with original research and extensive visuals justify higher price points.
Avoid heavy discounting; resin artists respect quality and associate lower prices with lower value. Instead, create bundle discounts (sell three products together at 10–15% off) or offer seasonal promotions around gift-giving periods. Test pricing by starting at the mid-range for your category, monitoring conversion rates, and adjusting after 30 days of data.
