To sell planners in Ghana, design them in Canva (or Goodnotes-style PDFs for tablets), save them as PDF, and sell them as instant downloads from an online store that takes mobile money. Buyers pay and get the file by email straight away. For printed planners, take pre-orders with payment first, then print in one batch.
Planners and printables are a great first digital product: cheap to make, easy to explain, and useful every month.
What to make
Digital planners and trackers
- Budget and savings planners in cedis
- Study timetables and exam revision planners for WASSCE and university students
- Business planners: content calendars, sales trackers, monthly goals
- Wedding planners with Ghanaian traditional and white wedding checklists
- Fitness, meal and habit trackers
Printables
- Wall art and scripture prints
- Kids' worksheets and colouring pages
- Invitations and event templates people can edit
Make one planner very well for one person, then add more.
How to make them
- Design in Canva or another design tool. Use clear fonts and plenty of space to write.
- Export as PDF. For printing, use A4 and leave margins. For tablets, add clickable tabs (hyperlinked PDF).
- Test it: print one page, and open the PDF on a phone and a tablet.
- Make a preview: 3 to 5 mockup images showing pages in use.

Pricing
Digital planners in Ghana often sell for GH₵ 20 to 100, depending on how detailed they are. Bundles sell well: a budget planner plus a savings challenge plus a debt tracker at one price. Read how to price digital products.
Sell them online
On Paylead:
- Create your free store.
- Add the planner as a digital download and upload the PDF.
- Add mockup images and a short description of who it's for and what it helps with.
- Share the link on WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok.
Buyers pay with MoMo or card and get the download by email straight away, with limits on how many times the link can be used. You pay 4% + GH₵ 1 per sale, nothing monthly on the free plan.
Printed planners
Physical planners sell well as gifts and at the start of the year. To avoid being stuck with stock:
- Take pre-orders with payment first and a delivery date. See how to take pre-orders.
- Print in one batch when pre-orders close.
- Deliver with a rider, or let buyers collect.
Offer the digital version too, for buyers who prefer to print at home.
Marketing ideas
- Show it in use: a short video filling in a page.
- Time it right: January for yearly planners, school terms for study planners, wedding season for wedding planners.
- Give away one page (a free monthly budget sheet) to collect emails, then sell the full planner.
- Partner with creators who talk about money, study or weddings, and pay them a commission as affiliates.
