- 00:00:16hustle this is and it's really true a
- 00:00:19lot of people like to talk about how
- 00:00:20it's way too saturated nowadays but you
- 00:00:22really just need to know how to work the
- 00:00:24system find products that people
- 00:00:26actually want make good designs and be
- 00:00:28able to upload them in a way that is
- 00:00:30going to help you get sales now in
- 00:00:32today's video this is not going to be
- 00:00:34just a bunch of tips to help you get
- 00:00:35started I am actually going to walk you
- 00:00:37through the a toz process of actually
- 00:00:40finding a niche in a product that is
- 00:00:42going to do well actually creating a
- 00:00:44design for that product uploading it to
- 00:00:46your manufacturing partner making
- 00:00:48mockups and even being able to promote
- 00:00:51that on social media and drive
- 00:00:52additional traffic to that listing so
- 00:00:54I'm not going to waste any more time and
- 00:00:56we're really just going to jump into
- 00:00:58this whole process and by the end of it
- 00:00:59you should be able to make and upload
- 00:01:01your very own products to sell on print
- 00:01:03on demand now the very first thing I am
- 00:01:05going to do is pick what type of product
- 00:01:08that I want to sell now you've probably
- 00:01:10heard about selling mugs on print on
- 00:01:13demand websites or something like a
- 00:01:15t-shirt or a sweatshirt those are
- 00:01:16definitely the most common products but
- 00:01:18there really are a lot of products that
- 00:01:20some people don't even know are
- 00:01:22available to them to sell now the
- 00:01:24manufacturing partner that I use to sell
- 00:01:26my print on demand items is called
- 00:01:28printify now if you've never heard of
- 00:01:30them before they are kind of the
- 00:01:31middleman between you and a site like
- 00:01:34Etsy so you are going to be creating the
- 00:01:36designs and the listings but you're not
- 00:01:38making any of these products in your
- 00:01:39home printify is going to take care of
- 00:01:42all of that they are the white labeler
- 00:01:44that has the actual products they're
- 00:01:45going to store make ship them to all of
- 00:01:48your customers so all you have to do is
- 00:01:50integrate them with your Etsy account
- 00:01:52now I have a full walkthrough tutorial
- 00:01:54right here of how to do that if you've
- 00:01:56never integrated them before but it's
- 00:01:58really easy and they work seamlessly
- 00:02:00with Etsy so I am just over here on
- 00:02:01their catalog on their bestselling
- 00:02:03products and we're just going to go
- 00:02:05through these and kind of pick one
- 00:02:06that's going to be easy for us to create
- 00:02:08a really good bestselling design for so
- 00:02:11they have all sorts of different
- 00:02:13t-shirts here but they also have some
- 00:02:14alternate products like you can sell a
- 00:02:16print onand candle or a mug stickers
- 00:02:19phone cases blankets posters sweatshirts
- 00:02:22tank tops tapestries so really the sky
- 00:02:25is the limit if you can think of a
- 00:02:27product that is sold on someplace like
- 00:02:28Etsy or Amazon there a really good
- 00:02:30chance that printify has something they
- 00:02:32have over 800 different product types so
- 00:02:34really you can find whatever you want
- 00:02:36but truly the product that has made me
- 00:02:39the most money in print on demand it's
- 00:02:40how I really got my start is by selling
- 00:02:42T-shirts so that is kind of the
- 00:02:44quintessential print on demain product
- 00:02:46you should probably learn first so I'm
- 00:02:48going to take you through exactly how
- 00:02:49you do that so I'm going to go with this
- 00:02:52unisex Jersey short slave tea from Bella
- 00:02:54and canvas but before we can really get
- 00:02:57started with uploading a product like
- 00:02:59this first we have to figure out what
- 00:03:01Niche we want to Target now this is the
- 00:03:04area that a lot of people get really
- 00:03:05tripped up in especially when they are
- 00:03:07new sellers it's super tempting to maybe
- 00:03:10make designs for things you're really
- 00:03:12passionate about things that you like or
- 00:03:14just cute designs that you see out in
- 00:03:16the wild or you think would make good
- 00:03:17apparel ideas so a lot of times I'll see
- 00:03:20new sellers making some cute designs but
- 00:03:22then the niche is something like cat mom
- 00:03:25or something like a teacher now those
- 00:03:27sell really well on print on Dem man but
- 00:03:29but nowadays it's just way too
- 00:03:32competitive and saturated to go for
- 00:03:33something super broad like that so it's
- 00:03:36really important that you do your due
- 00:03:38diligence in either researching a good
- 00:03:40Niche or finding something that has a
- 00:03:42lot less competition because it's a
- 00:03:44little bit more specific now I'm going
- 00:03:46to teach you a couple ways that you can
- 00:03:48do this now the very first way that is
- 00:03:50really easy to find a bunch of niches
- 00:03:53that are either trending right now or
- 00:03:54have been selling really well previously
- 00:03:56is by using some kind of research tool
- 00:03:59now there's a bunch of them out on the
- 00:04:00market but the one that I've really used
- 00:04:02almost since day one that's helped me
- 00:04:04really scale my business is called merch
- 00:04:06Informer now Merchant forer is basing
- 00:04:09all of its data off of the best selling
- 00:04:11apparel items on Amazon now since Amazon
- 00:04:14is the biggest e-commerce platform
- 00:04:16typically when something is doing really
- 00:04:18well there it means that this is going
- 00:04:20to sell well on almost any platform so
- 00:04:22this is a great place to find good ideas
- 00:04:25now I am over on this side here and I
- 00:04:27just went to this movers and shakers
- 00:04:29section now what this section is is
- 00:04:31basically it's showing you products that
- 00:04:33were uploaded maybe a while ago they
- 00:04:35weren't getting sales and then all of
- 00:04:37the sudden their sales really took off
- 00:04:40so that means that maybe something is
- 00:04:41trending right now that is helping this
- 00:04:43do well or just this type of design is
- 00:04:46recently getting popular so we can take
- 00:04:48a lot of cues from this and find some
- 00:04:50really good Niche ideas so as you're
- 00:04:52scrolling through a lot of times I'll
- 00:04:54have a notebook and I'll just be taking
- 00:04:55note of some things that are doing well
- 00:04:57now this one immediately catches my eye
- 00:04:59it's class of 2037 so what a lot of
- 00:05:03people are doing is they are getting
- 00:05:04their kindergarteners a big shirt and
- 00:05:07then they are putting all of the years
- 00:05:08that they'll be in different grades and
- 00:05:10then taking a photo with their kid in
- 00:05:12this every single year to see how they
- 00:05:14grow now this is something that you
- 00:05:15could even think about doing for the
- 00:05:17next couple years so this one for 2037
- 00:05:20is trending but pretty soon kids are
- 00:05:22going to be in the class of 2038 so you
- 00:05:25could start thinking about like that or
- 00:05:26what I like to do a lot of times is
- 00:05:28instead of exactly copying what this is
- 00:05:30I might do a little bit of a different
- 00:05:32take on it so I might make a pink shirt
- 00:05:35design that has some like groovy font
- 00:05:37maybe a little bit like this one right
- 00:05:39here with some cutesy designs that would
- 00:05:41be perfect for maybe a little
- 00:05:43kindergarten girl so that's just one way
- 00:05:45that I kind of use this tool but you can
- 00:05:47kind of keep scrolling and then find
- 00:05:49some really great niches this way
- 00:05:52another good Niche that is really taking
- 00:05:54off right now is kind of these gender
- 00:05:55reveal shirts now they are getting
- 00:05:57cheesier and cheesier by the day but
- 00:05:59truly these are huge money makers people
- 00:06:02love doing big Ginger reveals and so
- 00:06:04they a lot of times will buy shirts for
- 00:06:06every single person in attendance so
- 00:06:08this can be a huge Money Maker now again
- 00:06:10I wouldn't copy this exactly but you can
- 00:06:12make your own variation of something
- 00:06:14like this but this just shows you that
- 00:06:15these types of designs are trending now
- 00:06:18the other way that is really easy to
- 00:06:20find great niches especially if you are
- 00:06:23trying to Target something on social
- 00:06:25media and maybe have a niche that has a
- 00:06:28bit of a following that you could really
- 00:06:30count on making some sales in and that
- 00:06:32is by using my cross niching guide book
- 00:06:35now if you've never downloaded this
- 00:06:37before I actually have it linked Down
- 00:06:39Below in the description along with a
- 00:06:41free Workshop that just kind of takes
- 00:06:43you through exactly how to use this but
- 00:06:45one way that I like to use it is in
- 00:06:47finding some really good Niche ideas
- 00:06:49particularly in the area of hobbies or
- 00:06:52careers so I'm going to scroll down to
- 00:06:55that section so we have careers right
- 00:06:57here now there are some careers that are
- 00:06:59Maybe just going to be a little bit too
- 00:07:01competitive so like previously I
- 00:07:02mentioned teachers that just has so many
- 00:07:05people going after it same thing with
- 00:07:07something like a nurse there are so many
- 00:07:09nurse designs that do really well on a
- 00:07:11place like Etsy but it's super
- 00:07:12competitive so it's kind of hard to
- 00:07:14compete with that type of career but
- 00:07:17there are tons of other careers that are
- 00:07:19kind of untapped gold mines because
- 00:07:22they're just maybe not one of the
- 00:07:23biggest 10 careers but people still
- 00:07:25really want to represent what they do
- 00:07:27for work people want to give gifts to
- 00:07:29people with these careers and jobs so
- 00:07:31they can be great ones so something like
- 00:07:34this could be something like a
- 00:07:35veterinary technician or a respiratory
- 00:07:38therapist maybe a auto mechanic or a bus
- 00:07:41driver those are all great ones but the
- 00:07:43one that kind of caught my eye that I
- 00:07:45think could be really good for what we
- 00:07:47are doing today is a pharmacy technician
- 00:07:50or a pharmacist so I think I'm going to
- 00:07:52go with actually a pharmacist because
- 00:07:55they are in the medical field similar to
- 00:07:57nurses but they don't always get the
- 00:07:58same amount of attention that someone
- 00:08:00like a nurse would get but I think that
- 00:08:02they still would love similar really
- 00:08:04cute designs that kind of represent what
- 00:08:06they do so we are going to actually make
- 00:08:09a really easy quick design for a
- 00:08:11pharmacist so when it comes to making
- 00:08:14print on demand designs you are going to
- 00:08:16need some kind of design Suite now there
- 00:08:19are a number of them out there but
- 00:08:21definitely my favorite and you guys if
- 00:08:23you've watched any of my other videos
- 00:08:25probably know who I'm going to talk
- 00:08:26about but that is KD and what I really
- 00:08:28love about K is they're a super
- 00:08:31versatile design platform but they're
- 00:08:33really optimized specifically for print
- 00:08:35on demand sellers so that means they
- 00:08:37have a lot of tools that other places
- 00:08:39don't and they have a library of
- 00:08:41thousands of different templates that
- 00:08:43are basically kind of plug inpl so you
- 00:08:45can just change out the words and the
- 00:08:46templates maybe change a few colors and
- 00:08:48then you have a ready to use design that
- 00:08:50just took a couple minutes to make so
- 00:08:52we're actually going to try and use one
- 00:08:54of their templates today now because
- 00:08:57pharmacist is a little bit more of a
- 00:08:58niche profession session I don't think
- 00:09:00that they're necessarily going to have
- 00:09:01any t-shirt templates for a pharmacist
- 00:09:04specifically but I think that we could
- 00:09:07take one for maybe something like a
- 00:09:08nurse or a doctor and just tweak a few
- 00:09:11things to make it more specific to a
- 00:09:13pharmacist so I'm going to go ahead and
- 00:09:14look up nurse and see what kind of
- 00:09:17templates we come up with so there's
- 00:09:19some really cute ones and if you are
- 00:09:20ever making nurse designs this is kind
- 00:09:22of the go-to place but let's see here
- 00:09:25I'm thinking I want a phrase with a
- 00:09:27little bit more text so something like
- 00:09:28this could work work really well so I'm
- 00:09:30going to go ahead and click on this one
- 00:09:32now I'm going to go ahead and change
- 00:09:34this something just so I know what it is
- 00:09:36now a lot of times when I have kind of a
- 00:09:38niche that I'm going after so in this
- 00:09:40case it's a pharmacist sometimes I'll do
- 00:09:42some preliminary searches to see if
- 00:09:44there's any trending phrases or ideas
- 00:09:46that I can get from what's selling well
- 00:09:48on Amazon or Etsy and for something like
- 00:09:50this I would even take a look at some of
- 00:09:52the phrases that are trending for nurses
- 00:09:54and doctors and see if I can kind of
- 00:09:56tweak that to work well for a pharmacist
- 00:09:59so I saw one that is trending that said
- 00:10:01something like I can't fix stupid but I
- 00:10:04can medicate it now anything that is
- 00:10:06really snarky or like sassy does super
- 00:10:09well for print on demand I don't really
- 00:10:11know why except maybe people like to
- 00:10:12give funny gifts so I think I'm going to
- 00:10:14do something like that for this
- 00:10:16pharmacist design so before we go ahead
- 00:10:18and just change the text out here I'm
- 00:10:20actually going to get rid of some of
- 00:10:22these elements so I am just going to
- 00:10:24right click on this and ungroup
- 00:10:26everything same with these Hearts here
- 00:10:28I'm going to ungroup them them and I'm
- 00:10:29going to get rid of this hat here now
- 00:10:31some of the other stuff we can kind of
- 00:10:33leave because it could work for a
- 00:10:35pharmacist as well maybe I'll get rid of
- 00:10:37this Band-Aid too but I'm going to
- 00:10:39definitely get rid of that hat and we'll
- 00:10:40at the end add in some more elements
- 00:10:42that make it so this definitely looks
- 00:10:44like a phist shirt not just a nurse one
- 00:10:47so all I'm going to do is I'm just going
- 00:10:49to start changing out the text here so
- 00:10:52this I'll say I can't fix so let's do
- 00:10:55that here I can't fix and then that is
- 00:10:58just a little bit too long so I'm going
- 00:10:59to go ahead and highlight it and then
- 00:11:01change the size to 50 here and then we
- 00:11:04can go ahead and resize that and all of
- 00:11:06this we are going to kind of edit the
- 00:11:08font and the layout once we get
- 00:11:10everything filled in here but the first
- 00:11:12thing I'm going to do is just change all
- 00:11:14the lettering so we know what we're
- 00:11:15working with so this is going to stay
- 00:11:17stupid and then this I want it to say
- 00:11:20but I can and then this to say medicate
- 00:11:23and we'll make that a little bit longer
- 00:11:24it's just a bit too long there I'm going
- 00:11:27to move these hearts and then I think I
- 00:11:29want it to be in this same kind of font
- 00:11:32here so I'm just going to go ahead and
- 00:11:33copy this text box and then I'm going to
- 00:11:36go ahead and paste it and we'll just
- 00:11:37have this say it so now that we have
- 00:11:39kind of all of our text there we can
- 00:11:41start kind of playing around with the
- 00:11:43placement now I think the first thing I
- 00:11:45want to do is this I can't fix I want it
- 00:11:47to also be that cute pink color too just
- 00:11:50so it is a little bit more cohesive and
- 00:11:52then for the transformation it's kind of
- 00:11:55distorted curved up right now but I can
- 00:11:58go ahead and click click this custom
- 00:12:00distort again and I could even kind of
- 00:12:02bring this down here just kind of play
- 00:12:04around with that until we're happy with
- 00:12:06it now you could do something else you
- 00:12:07don't have to do exactly that but that's
- 00:12:09just one way you can distort stuff and
- 00:12:11then same thing with this buty can right
- 00:12:13here I think I'm going to do kind of a
- 00:12:15custom distort again here but kind of
- 00:12:18change that all right so it's already
- 00:12:20looking pretty good but what I want to
- 00:12:22do is definitely add some elements that
- 00:12:24are like specific to pharmacists so I'm
- 00:12:27going to go over here and I'm just going
- 00:12:28to look up medicine so we could do
- 00:12:30something like that ooh I actually I
- 00:12:32really like this one here and don't
- 00:12:34worry that it's green we're going to
- 00:12:35change it to make sure everything looks
- 00:12:37cohesive this right here and I can even
- 00:12:39move like these Hearts around if I don't
- 00:12:41want that in the way and one way you can
- 00:12:43make things always look cohesive is just
- 00:12:45by changing this to the same color that
- 00:12:48helps a ton let's see I kind of like
- 00:12:50this one that's like spilling out as
- 00:12:52well where could we put that maybe down
- 00:12:54here by the it if we move this a bit
- 00:12:57that here again change it to the brown
- 00:12:59color let's see oh I kind of like this
- 00:13:01one where it's like a pill kind of
- 00:13:03opening up so let's make that smaller
- 00:13:06and then maybe put it right here by the
- 00:13:07M I think that looks really cute and
- 00:13:09then I'm just going to adjust everything
- 00:13:11until I'm really happy with how it looks
- 00:13:13so that's looking pretty good so what
- 00:13:15I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead
- 00:13:16and just download this now it's really
- 00:13:18easy to download things on KD I'm just
- 00:13:20going to click download here we want it
- 00:13:22to be a PNG but we don't want the units
- 00:13:24to be in inches we want that to be
- 00:13:26pixels and then I like to make sure my
- 00:13:28design designs are at least 4500 pixels
- 00:13:31wide and at least like 5,000 pixels tall
- 00:13:34so this is going to work really well and
- 00:13:36it doesn't exactly matter if your pixels
- 00:13:38are right but you can also go ahead and
- 00:13:40change that to 300 DPI but as long as
- 00:13:43your pixels are good that is going to
- 00:13:44work for a print on demand design and
- 00:13:46then we're just going to go ahead and
- 00:13:47remove the background and download that
- 00:13:50to our computer all right so now the
- 00:13:52next thing we are going to do is we are
- 00:13:54going back over to printify to that
- 00:13:57shirt that we initially picked out now
- 00:13:59if you had picked a different product
- 00:14:00type it would work the exact same way
- 00:14:03you'd just be uploading it to something
- 00:14:04other than a shirt now before we
- 00:14:06actually upload the design we need to
- 00:14:08pick which manufacturing partner we want
- 00:14:10to use so if you just click Start
- 00:14:12designing it's going to default to the
- 00:14:14pry Choice which typically is a really
- 00:14:17good option but I like to sometimes pick
- 00:14:19my provider now the one I really like
- 00:14:21using is going to be swift pod just cuz
- 00:14:24they have so many colors look at that
- 00:14:26and then they have really low starting
- 00:14:29cost for a lot of their items so it just
- 00:14:31makes sure that you can make enough
- 00:14:33profit when you actually do end up
- 00:14:34selling this on a place like Etsy so I'm
- 00:14:36just going to click Start designing and
- 00:14:38now the first thing that I want to do is
- 00:14:40kind of change the color I really love
- 00:14:42that pink and it's going to help us
- 00:14:43stand out a little bit there's tons of
- 00:14:45black and white t-shirts out there but
- 00:14:47anytime you have a design that's really
- 00:14:49optimized for a certain color that
- 00:14:50sometimes can help it really stand out
- 00:14:52so this just classic pink one is what
- 00:14:55I'm going for and I'm not even going to
- 00:14:57sell that on white I think just the pink
- 00:14:59looks the best but you definitely can
- 00:15:01add more colors if you want as well and
- 00:15:03then I'm going to go ahead and upload
- 00:15:05that new design so I'm just going to go
- 00:15:07ahead and drag and drop that file here
- 00:15:09and you can also add it from your
- 00:15:10computer as well now I typically like to
- 00:15:13make sure to take up as much space as
- 00:15:16possible on the design so I'm going to
- 00:15:18stretch this out until it really fills
- 00:15:20up most of this canvas so that's looking
- 00:15:23really good and then we can go ahead and
- 00:15:25preview it and just make sure that
- 00:15:26everything is looking nice on here so
- 00:15:29that looks really cute let's go back
- 00:15:31over to edit and then we're going to
- 00:15:32click save product now this is where we
- 00:15:35start to make some initial edits to our
- 00:15:37listing now because this is already
- 00:15:39integrated to my Etsy account it's going
- 00:15:41to be making all these changes over on
- 00:15:43Etsy as well so we're going to do some
- 00:15:45initial editing here but then we're
- 00:15:47going to go over to our Etsy account and
- 00:15:49actually do some other adjustments there
- 00:15:51now I'm going to make my own mockups and
- 00:15:53I'll show you exactly how to do that in
- 00:15:55just a second so I'm going to go ahead
- 00:15:57and just get rid of all these other
- 00:15:59mockup views and just have kind of the
- 00:16:01one standard one I like to keep that so
- 00:16:03people can get a really good idea of the
- 00:16:05exact shade that this is going to be and
- 00:16:07the exact placement and then just so I
- 00:16:09know exactly what design this is I'm
- 00:16:11going to change part of the title and
- 00:16:13we're going to edit this a little bit
- 00:16:15more later I'm going to show you some of
- 00:16:16the things that I like to include in the
- 00:16:18title but I'm just going to go ahead and
- 00:16:20type in what I initially have on this
- 00:16:22design all right and then the
- 00:16:23description is autof filled in with a
- 00:16:25lot of the information about this
- 00:16:27product now when we go over to Etsy we
- 00:16:30are going to add more to the description
- 00:16:32that's going to help with our SEO but I
- 00:16:34always like to keep this part of the
- 00:16:36description kind of at the bottom
- 00:16:38because it gives a lot of information
- 00:16:39about the product itself so never get
- 00:16:42rid of that now I'm going to go over to
- 00:16:44the pricing section and this is the next
- 00:16:46thing that I am going to edit so I'm
- 00:16:48going to select all click edit the price
- 00:16:50and I'm just going to go ahead and
- 00:16:52change it to $24.99 now you always want
- 00:16:55to make sure you're calculating your
- 00:16:56prices so that you're making enough
- 00:16:58profit and typically I will change the
- 00:17:00price on these items that are bigger
- 00:17:02sizes just cuz they are a little bit
- 00:17:04more costly so I might change that to
- 00:17:06something like 26.99 later all right and
- 00:17:08then we're just going to go ahead and
- 00:17:10push publish all right now that we push
- 00:17:12publish we can see that over here on our
- 00:17:14printify account and once it's green and
- 00:17:17says published here that means it is all
- 00:17:19ready to be edited on Etsy so I'm going
- 00:17:22to head over to my linked Etsy account
- 00:17:24all right so we can see that right here
- 00:17:26in my active listings now what I'm going
- 00:17:28to to do is I'm going to click this gear
- 00:17:30icon and just click edit now before we
- 00:17:33worry about the title The keywords all
- 00:17:36that SEO one of the most important
- 00:17:38things that we always need to be
- 00:17:39thinking about is the mockup photo now
- 00:17:42most of the time when people look up an
- 00:17:44item that they are thinking about buying
- 00:17:45so if someone looked up shirt for
- 00:17:47pharmacist gift they are not reading the
- 00:17:49title they're not clicking on it and
- 00:17:51reading the description they don't
- 00:17:52really care about the tags all they are
- 00:17:54caring about is the first little photo
- 00:17:57that is going to show up on on the page
- 00:17:59when they're scrolling and usually that
- 00:18:01is pretty tiny so that is really
- 00:18:03valuable real estate and we want to make
- 00:18:05the best first impression because if our
- 00:18:07initial kind of photo doesn't look very
- 00:18:09good we are probably not going to get
- 00:18:11that click so that means we're not going
- 00:18:13to get people to actually make a sale so
- 00:18:15if you really take nothing else from
- 00:18:17this video one of the things you should
- 00:18:19take from it is that you should be
- 00:18:21spending a decent amount of time and
- 00:18:22effort putting together mockups now it
- 00:18:24doesn't really have to be tricky and I'm
- 00:18:26going to show you the place that I get
- 00:18:27pretty much all of my mock UPS so I'm
- 00:18:29going to head over there right now now I
- 00:18:31have a account on place it which if
- 00:18:33you've never heard of place it before
- 00:18:35they do a lot more than just mockups you
- 00:18:37can actually make designs here you can
- 00:18:39make video mockups you can make logos
- 00:18:41all sorts of different things you can do
- 00:18:43but what I really like is their mockups
- 00:18:46so I'm going to go over here to the
- 00:18:47apparel and then t-shirt mockups and
- 00:18:50then a lot of times what I like to do is
- 00:18:52I'm going to store by just a woman
- 00:18:54because this shirt I'm definitely
- 00:18:55designing it more for a woman and then a
- 00:18:57lot of times I like to sort by popular
- 00:19:00because these are just the mockups that
- 00:19:02look really good so let's see here I
- 00:19:04think I'm going to make a couple
- 00:19:05different mockups for this so I think
- 00:19:07the first one I'm going to do is Pur
- 00:19:09right here and then I'm going to click
- 00:19:11design and then if you already have used
- 00:19:13it before you can click recently
- 00:19:14uploaded or just upload from your device
- 00:19:16so I'm going to go here in my recently
- 00:19:18uploaded and then click on that design
- 00:19:21now right here we can kind of see a live
- 00:19:22preview so I'm just going to adjust this
- 00:19:25until I'm happy with how it looks make
- 00:19:27it a little bit smaller small all right
- 00:19:29so that is looking good we're going to
- 00:19:30go ahead and crop it and now the next
- 00:19:32thing we're going to do is change that
- 00:19:34shirt color so I'm going to change it to
- 00:19:35the pink that looks really similar to
- 00:19:37that one on printify and once we're
- 00:19:39happy with it we're going to go ahead
- 00:19:41and click download now once it's ready
- 00:19:43we can go ahead and click to download
- 00:19:45the image as it is so I'm going to do
- 00:19:47that because later on when we are making
- 00:19:49some social media images we are going to
- 00:19:51use ones that are more landscape like
- 00:19:53this but for Etsy you're going to want
- 00:19:55to actually crop it so I'm going to
- 00:19:57click this crop icon right here all
- 00:19:59right so now we're over here on the
- 00:20:00image Cropper and all we're going to do
- 00:20:02is adjust the size so it's optimized for
- 00:20:05an Etsy thumbnail so that's going to be
- 00:20:072700 pixels by 2025 and then I'm just
- 00:20:11going to zoom in on this until it fills
- 00:20:14up most of this image now one thing that
- 00:20:16a lot of people don't know when they
- 00:20:17first get started is they always try to
- 00:20:19show the model's face but I have found
- 00:20:21in most other top print on demand
- 00:20:23sellers also know that you don't really
- 00:20:25need to show the face of the model it's
- 00:20:27all about the actual product so once
- 00:20:30that looks good I'm going to go ahead
- 00:20:31and download it and then I'm going to go
- 00:20:32back over to the mockups and we're just
- 00:20:34going to make one more mockup that we
- 00:20:35can use later for social media as well
- 00:20:38all right I really like her too so I'm
- 00:20:40going to go ahead and click on her and
- 00:20:41just put the exact same image on there
- 00:20:44so since I just used it it's actually
- 00:20:46going to default to that same design so
- 00:20:49all I have to do is change the color to
- 00:20:51that pink and then download this I'm
- 00:20:54going to click here to download now
- 00:20:56we're going to head back over to our
- 00:20:58account so we can start editing that
- 00:21:00listing now all we're going to do is
- 00:21:02click here to add photos so I'm going to
- 00:21:04go ahead and add that new mockup photo
- 00:21:07that I created all right so that is
- 00:21:09uploaded and I'm just going to make that
- 00:21:10the primary image and then keep this one
- 00:21:12as the second image now if you had
- 00:21:14multiple different colors you could keep
- 00:21:16all of those here as well but for this
- 00:21:18video I'm just doing that initial one
- 00:21:20and really the first photo is the most
- 00:21:22important it's what people are going to
- 00:21:24see so if you're going to put effort in
- 00:21:26make sure it's that first photo and you
- 00:21:28can kind of put a little bit less effort
- 00:21:30into those other ones for the listing
- 00:21:32now let's go ahead and start working on
- 00:21:34our SEO for this so what I'm going to do
- 00:21:37is think about things that people might
- 00:21:38be searching when they are looking for a
- 00:21:41gift or a shirt for a pharmacist so the
- 00:21:43first one besides just the title here is
- 00:21:46I might put some funny gift for
- 00:21:49pharmacist and then I like to have the
- 00:21:51text that's actually on the design there
- 00:21:54but then I think of other things so like
- 00:21:56we could do Pharmacy mom and and then
- 00:21:58like female pharmacy technician birthday
- 00:22:03gift and then this shirt could also work
- 00:22:05for maybe a nurse or like a Medtech or
- 00:22:08something too so I might actually if I
- 00:22:10have some room put some things that
- 00:22:11could work for that as well even though
- 00:22:13we're initially targeting pharmacists so
- 00:22:15I could do for Medtech nurse all right
- 00:22:18so we used about just all of our
- 00:22:20characters which I highly suggest you do
- 00:22:22don't just use those first few this is
- 00:22:24really valuable real estate and then I'm
- 00:22:26going to go down to the description and
- 00:22:27like I said I'm I'm going to keep all
- 00:22:29this here but I'm going to put about two
- 00:22:30sentences that have to do with the niche
- 00:22:33or the SEO that I'm trying to Target so
- 00:22:35I said the best gift for pharmacist mom
- 00:22:37grandma Aunt sister kind of trying to
- 00:22:39think of those words that someone might
- 00:22:41search for and then I'm going to put
- 00:22:43actually what it says on the shirt all
- 00:22:44right and once I'm happy with that we
- 00:22:46are going to go down here now I already
- 00:22:48adjusted the pricing on printify and
- 00:22:51then we can add some tags here now
- 00:22:53typically I like to just add the
- 00:22:55keywords that I think people are most
- 00:22:57searching for for something like this so
- 00:22:58we could do something like Pharmacy
- 00:23:01shirt and female
- 00:23:04pharmacis and pharmacy tech so I'm going
- 00:23:07to add those and you are definitely
- 00:23:09going to want to use all 13 but for the
- 00:23:11sake of this video I'm just going to do
- 00:23:12those first three now it's going to
- 00:23:14default your shipping right here but if
- 00:23:16you do want to offer free shipping or a
- 00:23:18different price for your shipping you
- 00:23:19could edit that right here and then I
- 00:23:21make sure to have my policy as no
- 00:23:24returns or exchanges and then if you are
- 00:23:26doing Etsy ads you can enroll it here
- 00:23:29but if you don't want to you would turn
- 00:23:30that off and if you wanted to feature at
- 00:23:32the top of your shop you would just
- 00:23:33click that here now for the renewal
- 00:23:35options neither one is really a bad
- 00:23:37choice you can do automatic renewal or
- 00:23:39manual but a lot of times I'm going to
- 00:23:41put manual renewal because if this
- 00:23:43hasn't sold in a few months I kind of
- 00:23:45want to evaluate that and see maybe what
- 00:23:47changes I could make before I pay to
- 00:23:49actually list it again so once all those
- 00:23:51settings are done we have our mockup
- 00:23:53photo we changed our title our
- 00:23:54description tags we're going to publish
- 00:23:56those changes all right so now we can
- 00:23:58see that it changed our photo right here
- 00:24:01and that is looking perfect so now
- 00:24:03people can find that when they search
- 00:24:05things on Etsy but we're not done I'm
- 00:24:07actually going to show you one more
- 00:24:08thing that can help really Drive traffic
- 00:24:11to any of your listings especially when
- 00:24:13you are making new ones and that is by
- 00:24:14using social media now I have an entire
- 00:24:17video about my process to get a lot of
- 00:24:20traffic through the social media
- 00:24:21platform at Instagram so I will link
- 00:24:24that right here and that's going to show
- 00:24:25you more of the logistics of how to kind
- 00:24:27of set up an Instagram account if you do
- 00:24:30want to use this strategy but the thing
- 00:24:32that you need to think about when you
- 00:24:34are maybe wanting to use social media to
- 00:24:36promote some of your listings is
- 00:24:38thinking about the audience that you're
- 00:24:40targeting so I really don't suggest
- 00:24:42having just a Facebook page or an
- 00:24:45Instagram account that's just a generic
- 00:24:47print on demand store I think it's
- 00:24:49really valuable if you can pinpoint an
- 00:24:52audience and make a really Niche
- 00:24:54specific Instagram page or Facebook page
- 00:24:56just for them so like for this product
- 00:24:59if I had a page that was all just for
- 00:25:01pharmacists or even more specifically
- 00:25:03female pharmacists then that is going to
- 00:25:06get a lot more engagement people are
- 00:25:07actually going to be interested in
- 00:25:09following it because it's not just a
- 00:25:11random hodgepodge of a bunch of
- 00:25:12different niches so I am going to be
- 00:25:15making some social media posts that
- 00:25:17would be optimized for an account that
- 00:25:19is really tailored to just pharmacists
- 00:25:22so I'm actually going to head back over
- 00:25:24to KD and show you how I would do this
- 00:25:27all right so KD actually has has a bunch
- 00:25:29of really cool social posts already made
- 00:25:31but one thing that is really cool is
- 00:25:33they just introduced kind of a multiple
- 00:25:37artboard feature that you can work on a
- 00:25:39bunch of different similar things all at
- 00:25:41the same time in fact I have a recent
- 00:25:43video where I show how to do this for
- 00:25:45multiple designs at once but you can use
- 00:25:47this for multiple social media posts as
- 00:25:49well so I think I'm going to use this
- 00:25:51kind of Instagram template for the posts
- 00:25:54I'm going to make for this pharmacist
- 00:25:56new design that I created so you really
- 00:25:59don't have to use all of them I think
- 00:26:00that I'm going to use kind of the story
- 00:26:02template and then the portrait photo for
- 00:26:05my Instagram so the first thing I'm
- 00:26:07going to do is I'm just going to go
- 00:26:09ahead and upload those two mockup photos
- 00:26:11that we created so I'm just going to go
- 00:26:13over here to uploads and then click
- 00:26:15upload right here all right so those are
- 00:26:16now uploaded I'm just going to get rid
- 00:26:18of those photos right there and then I
- 00:26:20am going to drag and drop these new ones
- 00:26:23that we created here I'm going to make
- 00:26:24it a similar size and do the same thing
- 00:26:26for this one all right and I want to use
- 00:26:29some of the colors that are in this for
- 00:26:31this design here so I think I'm going to
- 00:26:33do the background kind of this dark pink
- 00:26:36color so I'll zoom in here so you can
- 00:26:37see that a little better so I'm going to
- 00:26:39click this background I'm going to go to
- 00:26:41the layers and then go to right here
- 00:26:43where it says Instagram portrait and for
- 00:26:45the new drop I'm going to do the text
- 00:26:48this pink color here and then this one I
- 00:26:50am going to go ahead and change that to
- 00:26:52that light pink color and then same with
- 00:26:55all of this I'm going to change that to
- 00:26:56that light pink color All In at once and
- 00:26:59I don't really love this font that says
- 00:27:01dropping August here so I'm going to
- 00:27:02change that to something else I think
- 00:27:04something maybe more bubbly would be
- 00:27:06really cute okay that's looking good
- 00:27:08here so I'm just going to go ahead and
- 00:27:10stretch that out a little bit and then
- 00:27:12make it smaller and then right here is
- 00:27:14where I would probably put my name so
- 00:27:17for example this would be like cute
- 00:27:18Pharmacy gifts and then I'm going to get
- 00:27:20rid of these okay so that is looking
- 00:27:22cute and then I'm going to do the exact
- 00:27:24same thing here for this story one I'm
- 00:27:27going to get rid of those change this to
- 00:27:28that same font color so it looks
- 00:27:30cohesive I'm going to change this text
- 00:27:32color and maybe I'll do a different kind
- 00:27:34of text for the story like let's try
- 00:27:37this one it looks cute and change the
- 00:27:39color of all this and I might even get
- 00:27:41rid of some of this extra stuff for my
- 00:27:43story and just have this down here but
- 00:27:46I'm going to go ahead and add these
- 00:27:47photos but I'm going to actually crop
- 00:27:50them more like the size of the thumbnail
- 00:27:52we created so that looks good and I'm
- 00:27:54going to do the exact same thing with
- 00:27:56this one here just go ahead and crop bit
- 00:27:58right around the same area and then
- 00:28:00stretch that out this one I might need
- 00:28:02to crop a little bit more all right that
- 00:28:04is looking good now all we have to do to
- 00:28:06actually download these is we're going
- 00:28:08to go down to the downloads and then you
- 00:28:10can download all the artboards at the
- 00:28:12same time but I'm only going to download
- 00:28:14those two right there and click download
- 00:28:17and then now those would be actually
- 00:28:18ready to use on your Instagram account
