AD Affiliate | When it comes to finding blogging resources, Etsy is often not bought into the conversation. Etsy has and remains to be one the best places to find affordable blogging resources, and it has so much choice. Over the past year I’ve purchased so many great bits from Etsy that are worth sharing. I mentioned in my The Best 14 Stock Libraries For Bloggers that Etsy has some of my favourite stock photos.
In this post I’ll be sharing some of the best blogging resources I’ve found on Etsy, this includes Media Kits, Stock Photography, WordPress Themes, Templates and so much more!
Media Kits
If you want to start pitching to brands, or you’ve been thinking of making a media kit, you may look to Etsy to find a beautiful pre-made media kit design. This will not only save you time, but you might find a more professional design then what you could create yourself (I know this is true in my case). You don’t necessarily need to have a media kit, but occassionally you may be asked for one, or just want to have one.
If you want more information on pitching to brands head over to How To Approach Brands & What To Fee For Sponsored Posts.
Here are some of the best media kit templates I’ve found.
Blog Pixie Media Kit Template Canva – My previous blog theme was from the incredible Blog Pixie, when I saw they sold Media Kit Templates I snapped this one up. It’s so affordable and matched my previous theme which was a bonus. It has everything you need from a media kit, and the design is beautiful, Blog Pixie also sell 3 more media kit templates on Etsy, which can be found under Blog Pixie Media Kits.
Media Kit Template Canva – One of the best media kit templates I’ve come across, I really enjoyed using this media kit it has everything that you need!
WordPress Themes
Etsy is also home to many great WordPress Themes. I think it’s worth noting that if you are looking to purchase a WordPress Theme you want to look for one that is SEO friendly and that is hard to find on Etsy. That aside, many large WordPress theme sellers do also sell on Etsy for example my previous theme creator Blog Pixie as mentioned above sell on Etsy!
The Sasha Rose Responsive WordPress Theme – Look familiar? The Sasha Rose Theme is my previous blog theme so I had to suggest it, it’s customisable, and just a really feminine pretty blog theme if that is your cup of tea.
Coffee & Sundays WordPress Theme for Bloggers – Another Blog Pixie theme which is perfect for new bloggers, or for those looking for a pretty new theme. I love the design of this one, it’s so pretty and has a lovely colour scheme.
Premium WordPress Theme “Minimalism” – Sky And Stars sell many gorgeous and responsive WordPress themes for bloggers. Minimalism is no exceptions, it’s a theme thats designed more for eCommerce or those who are wanting a theme that double ups as a business or online store and blog.
Pinterest Templates
If you use Pinterest daily, you may want to purchase Pinterest templates to make the process much easier. Personally I buy a lot of Pinterest templates, this is because I manage a few Pinterest accounts and I find that I run out of the Canva templates very easily. Making templates yourself is easy to do, but I find it better to purchase them as it saves me time. Here are some of the best templates that I have found.
Food Blogger Pinterest Pin Templates (These are my favourite food pin templates)
Food Pinterest Canva Templates
100+ Pin Power Template Kit for Pinterest ( The best pack of pin templates if you use Pinterest a lot, these are beautiful and create for business/professional pins)
Pinterest Pin Canva Templates Fully Customizable
These are just some of the best I’ve come across but you can find many more Pinterest Templates on Etsy.
Stock Photography
I buy a lot of stock photos, on an average week I can publish 3-6 blog posts, most will 2-3 photos. I used to take a lot of blog photography myself as someone who has multiple art degrees and is trained in using a camera, but ultimately I prefer to spend my time writing my content. So stock photography is just really handy. I find that Etsy offers many single stock photos and smaller stock packs which can be really helpful if you’re looking for a particular image. You can also find really large affordable libraries too. Here are some that I have loved.
Styled Stock Photo Bundle – 25 Styled Stock Photos.
Desktop Stock Photo Bundle Greenery – 35 Styled Stock Photos (these are my personal favourite)
Neutral Holiday at Home Styled Stock Photo Bundle – 34 Styled Stock Photos.
If you are looking for more Etsy Stock Photography options refer to my The Best 14 Stock Libraries For Bloggers post as it has plenty more options.
Lightroom Presents
Lightroom presets are an important tool for every photographer, whether you’re a fashion, lifestyle or food blogger you’ll want to be using them for your photos. Presets are a tool you use within Lightroom. It’s worth researching up on Presents if you aren’t sure of what they are or why they’re useful for you as a blogger. Here are some of my favourites I’ve found on Etsy.
20 Lightroom Mobile Desktop Presets Bright Feed
10 Mobile Lightroom Presets Natural
20 Bright & Airy Lightroom Mobile Presets
Film Presets Lightroom, 10 Mobile & Desktop Lightroom Presets
Etsy is honestly a treasure trove for bloggers of affordable resources, and I think it’s great to support smaller businesses on Etsy where possible. Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever purchased anything for your blog from Etsy?
I love these resources! I’ll definitely save these links for future use when I need them. Thanks for sharing x
I honestly buy everything on Etsy and didn’t realise it was so useful for blogging resources too! I got my blog theme on there – great post and thanks for all of these recommendations x
Investing in your blog is so important. I realised that probably a little bit late. I really like how Etsy has so many amazing resources for bloggers. I’ll need to check it out.

As a hobby blogger I probably don’t invest too much into my blog, but I did invest in a media kit template and Pinterest templates before as it just makes life easier! I never thought about using Etsy for all this though, so thank you for that!
I’ve been spending an extraordinary amount of time thinking about instagram, my photography and buying some presets so this was very well timed! Plus I love Etsy and could lose hours going through it all!
Great post Kayleigh, thanks for sharing x
I love Etsy, I use it for personalised gifts and cute little presents but I’ve never used it for my blog. I’ve used Design Bundles a lottt for Pinterest upgrades and blog bits. Will defo look into Etsy for more blog bits!

I didn’t know there were so many great blogging resources on Etsy! I used a template that was already on Canva for my media kit, but the BlogPixie ones look so nice!
Also I should definitely look into getting some Pinterest templates!
I’ve bought some blogging resources from Etsy before and it’s such amazing quality. For example, I’ve bought Pinterest templates, an invoice template and a media kit template all from one Etsy page cause they’re designs were so minimalistic and a perfect fit for my blog and brand! x

This is so informative to check out what’s really in it- Etsy and I really have no idea that Etsy offers these things! Thank you for sharing this
I bought my theme on Etsy for so low a price and I was happy! Didn’t realize Etsy sells these blogging resources too. I would love a Pinterest template!! I would love a media kit too when I’m ready to collaborate with brands. This is so helpful! Etsy definitely offers a lot of helpful things.

I never thought about etsy having media kits available! I will have to check it out, I love seeing all the different pinterest templates they have
Okay I honestly didn’t realise you can even buy these things on Etsy! I just assumed wrongly as I now know that it is just about physical products. I have a media kit but desperate to update the look etc; so this post has inspired me to have a look on Etsy. Thank you for sharing your suggestions Kayleigh.

I love Etsy but I’ve never bought anything for my blog from there before but this has definitely encouraged me to take a look next time I need something! I’ve been thinking of switching up my theme this year so I’ll definitely refer back to this when I do!
I love etsy for anything blogging, I’ve bought presets and blog designs from the platform before and I’ve never been disappointed! I’ll definitely have a look on there for media kits once I decide if I want to monetise my blog or not x
I literally LOVE Etsy for this sort of stuff and I’ve also just opened up my own Etsy shop! So exciting! Excited to get some bits and bobs up and live for April. Gx
I just treated myself to some pin templates a couple of days ago! I’m excited to get some consistency in my pin!
I’m thinking of getting some story templates too at some point.

I didn’t realise that you could get Pinterest templates on Etsy. I will have to go and have a look at your suggestions. I will have a look at the blog themes as well as I feel like it is time for a change.
I never thought to look on Etsy for half of these things! Thanks for sharing, I’m on the look out for some new Pinterest templates so will check those out.
Great tips love! I didn’t even think about Etsy for media kits, I don’t know why. I always gravitate towards canva. I’m going to keep this in mind for when I update! Thank you for sharing.

I admit, I never looked towards etsy because I always knew it as selling products for usage in life and not software items. Plus I was never open to spending dollars but now that I’m earning, I should take a look. Thanks for sharing!
Oh wow, I had no idea! I’ve bought presets before but I had no idea about stock photos, themes and media templates. Looks like I’m going to be spending some money very soon….
Omg, this is actually so great! You have got a lot of useful resources there! I absolutely love Etsy and this is amazing. Thank you so much!
