How to Make Any Digital Product Truly Yours Using Canva

Easy ways to edit, rebrand, and customize your product — even if you’re not a designer.

🧠 Why Customizing Matters (Even with a Ready-Made Product)

Anyone can buy a PLR. But not everyone will take the 1–2 hours to:

• Change the name

• Tweak the visuals

• Add a unique bonus

• And create a product that feels truly theirs

That’s what sets you apart.
Customization increases perceived value, credibility, and conversions.

And the best part?
You don’t need Photoshop or fancy software — just Canva.

🛠️ What You’ll Need

• Your editable Canva link (included with your PLR)

• A free Canva account (or Pro if available)

• 60–90 minutes of focused time

🎨 Step 1 – Rename Your Product

Think of your product name like a headline — it should:

• Say what it is

• Say who it’s for

• Suggest a benefit or outcome

🟢 Example PLR name: “Kids Bible Stories”
🟢 Customized name: “FaithTime Stories: 30 Days of Bible Adventures for Kids”

✅ Add it to:

• The cover design

• The header of the PDF or video thumbnail

• The sales page headline

✏️ Step 2 – Open the Canva File and Duplicate It

Never edit the original. Always:

1. Click “File” → “Make a Copy”

2. Rename the file (e.g., “My Custom Product – Final Version”)

3. Work only inside your copy

✅ This avoids overwriting the PLR template and gives you a backup.

🎨 Step 3 – Change Colors, Fonts, and Layout Elements

Keep it clean. Don’t overdo it.

Suggested edits:

• Match your brand colors (or pick a new palette)

• Swap fonts for a more modern or playful look

• Replace decorative elements (icons, frames, etc.)

🟢 Use Canva’s “Styles” panel to apply color and font themes in one click

🖼️ Step 4 – Update Images and Visuals

If your PLR includes placeholder images:

• Replace them with free Canva photos or upload your own

• Use photos that match your audience (e.g., diverse families, happy kids, real-life scenes)

✅ Pro tip: Stick with realistic or 2D illustrations if your product is for children or families

🪄 Step 5 – Personalize the Intro and Final Pages

Make it yours by adding:

• A short welcome message (use your name or brand)

• A note on how to use the product

• A bonus offer or link to your next product on the last page

🟢 Example closing page:

“Thanks for trusting our resources!
If you loved this, check out our next guide: [insert product name or link]”

 

💾 Step 6 – Export and Test

Once customized:

1. Click “Share” → “Download”

2. Choose PDF (or MP4 if it’s a video)

3. Download and open the file on your phone and desktop

4. Test links, layout, image resolution

✅ Double-check:

• All buttons or links are clickable

• Text is legible on mobile

• File name is clear and clean (e.g., “FaithTimeStories-KidsKit.pdf”)

🧩 Optional Add-Ons to Make It Stand Out

• Add a bonus page (checklist, quiz, coloring page)

• Include a mini “About the Creator” section

• Create 1 mockup image in Canva to promote on social media

🟢 Use templates from your PLR pack or Canva’s “Mockup” templates

🧠 Final Tip

Most people won’t bother customizing their product.
That’s why most look generic, and most won’t sell.

But you will.

By taking 1–2 hours in Canva, you can make your digital product feel:
✅ Unique
✅ Branded
✅ Premium

And your customers will feel like they’re buying something that was made for them.
