Make Passive Income Working from Home as a Canva Entrepreneur - Use Canva to Sell Services and Designs on Etsy

Created by: Passive Income Gen Z

Last updated March 2025

Our take

Based on the ratings of 144 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in March 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is less a Canva tutorial than a side-hustle playbook that happens to use Canva. Over 9.5 hours and 40 lectures, Hamza Rouane builds a children's coloring book, a two-year planner and a Sudoku book for Amazon KDP. The later sections turn to selling: a Fiverr gig, cold-calling emails, Etsy planners and a short ChatGPT module. Udemy labels it Intermediate, but the syllabus shows no quizzes or exercises, only demonstrations of each build.

Reviewers who liked it say the step-by-step product demos are easy to follow and the explanations are simple. One student is on their fourth course from the same teacher. The criticism is pointed, though. A low-star reviewer says the pace is too fast for someone who has never used Canva and gave up after two sessions. Another calls it clickbait for anyone who wants Canva skills, saying the instructor admits limited design knowledge and spends much of the time on other platforms. A 4-star reviewer wanted more on design basics and niche research.

Of 144 ratings, 113 are four or five stars, and the average is 4.4, so most students came away satisfied. The course was last updated in March 2025 and includes AI image tools like Ideogram. It fits people who already know basic Canva and want a concrete plan for selling. Beginners should learn the tool first. The four-figure income talk in the description is marketing, so treat it as a hope, not a forecast.

Best forCanva users who want a ready plan for selling KDP books, planners and Etsy products.
Skip it ifYou have never opened Canva, or you want real design theory and technique.

Pros

  • Builds a coloring book, planner and Sudoku book from start to finish
  • Covers selling too: a Fiverr gig, cold-call emails, Etsy and Creative Fabrica
  • Reviewers find the step-by-step demos easy to follow and practical
  • Last updated March 2025; includes Ideogram and ChatGPT sections

Cons

  • Moves fast for true beginners, and one reviewer quit after two sessions
  • Light on design basics and niche research, according to reviewers
  • Income claims are optimistic, and there are no quizzes or exercises
I really liked that the instructor demonstrated how to create each digital product step by step. It made the process easy to follow and understand.

Labeled Intermediate, but one reviewer new to Canva could not keep up. The requirements list only the free version of Canva.

Explanation is simple to understand, got few more tips hot to use Canva

By Artemisa Rojas on 4/17/2023

This course is a clickbait. If you want to learn Canva, this is NOT the course to take. If you want to learn techniques on how to produce income passively, then this course will be useful for you. This person has little knowledge of Canva and design (He himself says this several times during the course) and spends most of the course on platforms other than Canva.

By Marsha Natalee Richards on 3/2/2023

This course was fun and informative, I learned a lot of new skills
