Licence

Free to print and use for your own shop. Please do not resell or redistribute the checklist. If you want to share it, link to this page instead.

Any figures the files help you work out are estimates, not financial, tax or legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no email address needed. Just download the file. If it helps you, you can buy me a coffee, but that is entirely optional and does not unlock anything.

How is it different from the Launch Checklist?

The Launch Checklist covers the whole launch, from research to promotion. This checklist goes deeper on one step: making sure the files themselves and the listing images are right.

Does it work for any platform?

Yes. The checks are about your files and listings, so they apply to Etsy, Gumroad, your own website or anywhere else.

Found this useful?
