Let’s be real—almost every student and teacher has to make a PowerPoint at some point. But here’s the thing: not everyone has the time (or the sense of design) to make their slides look good. That’s why PowerPoint templates are super valuable. And guess what? In 2025, even high school students can turn this into a side hustle.
What’s a PowerPoint Template?
A PowerPoint template is a pre-designed slide deck with layouts, colors, fonts, and styles ready to use. Instead of starting from scratch, people can just drop in their text and images.
Think of it like selling “ready-to-go slide designs” that save people time and make their presentations look professional or aesthetic.
Why It’s a Great Side Hustle in 2025
- High demand → students, teachers, freelancers, and businesses all need presentations.
- Low cost → all you need is PowerPoint (or even Canva/Google Slides).
- Scalable → make once, sell unlimited times.
- Creative → you can design based on themes: school, business, creative, minimalist.
- Perfect for teens → if you already make slides for class, you’ve got a head start.
Types of Templates You Can Create
- School Projects → simple & colorful slides for homework or group presentations.
- Business Pitch Decks → modern, clean designs for startups or UMKM.
- Aesthetic Themes → pastel, minimalist, or artsy slides for creative students.
- Educational Templates → slides for teachers and tutors.
- Infographic Templates → data-heavy designs with charts and icons.
Skills You’ll Need
- Basic PowerPoint or Canva design skills.
- A good eye for colors, fonts, and layouts.
- Creativity to make templates that stand out.
- (Optional) Simple graphic design knowledge to add icons or illustrations.
How to Start Selling Templates
- Choose a theme → decide whether you want to focus on school, business, or creative vibes.
- Design the slides → usually 10–20 slides per template pack is enough.
- Bundle them → offer packs like “Minimalist Student Pack” or “Business Pitch Pack.”
- Export & package → save as PPTX + include preview images.
- Sell online → Gumroad, Etsy, Shopee, or even TikTok/Instagram.
How Much Can You Earn?
Say you sell one template pack for Rp30.000 ($2–3):
- 50 buyers = Rp1.500.000.
- 200 buyers = Rp6.000.000.
And since it’s digital, you can keep selling the same file without limits.
Why Teens Will Love This Hustle
- Fun & creative → feels like designing slides for school, but you get paid.
- Flexible → you can design templates on weekends or after class.
- Portfolio builder → great for future design or marketing jobs.
- Passive income → once uploaded, templates can keep selling for months.
- Useful skill → making good slides is a life skill you’ll use in college and beyond.
💡 Bottom line: Selling PowerPoint templates is one of the smartest and most creative side hustles for teens in 2025. With just your laptop and a bit of design sense, you can turn boring slides into something people are willing to pay for. Imagine your template being used in classrooms or business meetings—that’s impact and income. 🚀
