- This one T-shirt is generating $23,000 each month,
and by harnessing the power of three AI tools,
I'm building an art startup from scratch,
stocked full of AI generated art products.
And in 2023, to do this,
you don't even have to be an artist,
you can start with less than $50,
and the platforms are going to be selling them on
have built-in buyers ready to purchase products.
And here in the next 10 minutes,
you're going to be able to stock your own store
of AI artwork that will sell.
But it's not as easy as just making artwork,
throwing it online and hoping that it sells.
To do this, you need to know
exactly how to prompt these tools
to produce high quality, unique images,
and be able to determine what the customer's going to buy
before even making the artwork.
But even more importantly,
I'm going to be sharing what I'm doing
to stay ahead of the competition,
because with AI hitting the masses,
these opportunities will evolve quickly
and we don't want to get left behind.
I'll also be discussing a tool
that's a replacement for Chat GPT right now,
since it's currently at capacity with users.
And the store will be setting up today,
once it's at $1,000 profit per month,
I will be giving it away to one subscriber.
So be sure to subscribe and like the video
to enter in a chance for that.
First, let's head over to an AI art generator.
There are about five or six on the market right now,
with more popping up every single week.
The way these work is it takes text as a prompt
and will convert it over to an image,
and the one we're going to be using today
is called Nightcafe.
And these tools can be extremely powerful
if you know how to use them properly,
and the only thing they're going to be limited by
are the commands that we give them.
This means that one word
can create an entirely different image.
So let's say we want an elephant
but in the artwork style of Picasso.
I typed in elephant with a bow tie in the style of Picasso
and I got these four images.
However, if I remove the word style,
I got this image right here,
so something completely different.
Now, Nightcafe also has Dall-E,
which is the image creator created by OpenAI,
the company that made Chat GPT.
But the important thing to understand here
is that these image creators are going to be limited
based on the prompts that we give it,
and on Dall-E, there is actually a book
where you can see a list of prompts to get certain pictures,
depending on what style you're looking for,
because the more details that we add,
the more likely we're going to get that image
that we're looking for,
and I highly recommend checking that out.
Link will be in the description below.
Now, when you make these images,
per Nightcafe's terms of service,
you own the rights to those images.
However, it doesn't mean it wouldn't make something similar
like that for someone else.
But one reason why Nightcafe really stands out to me
is the ability to change and evolve the images
that are made for you
to really make them stand out and unique.
So after creating those Picasso elephants,
I was able to morph them into four more designs.
But before we start making hundreds of pictures,
where exactly are we going to be selling these products?
There are dozens of platforms out there,
but the two that I'm choosing is Merch by Amazon
and Print on Demand with Etsy.
And the reason why I'm choosing to partner
with these companies
is because you can now white label your products,
meaning you can add logos, pictures, whatever you want,
and they would ship those out for you,
and you get to tap into their already existing audience.
The main benefit here
is that we don't have to bulk purchase supplies
and it's shipped once the item is actually sold.
So for example, if we type in dog socks on Etsy,
we can see these golden retriever socks right here.
And odds are that if we were to buy these,
the print on demand service
would be the one shipping them out to us
and not the actual customer.
But how do we decide what artwork we should make
that would actually sell well?
One way to get inspiration is to just look
and see what's already selling on Etsy.
So we type in animal socks on Etsy
and we see these sloth socks come up.
It looks like they've sold about 3,200 pairs,
which comes out to be about $85,000.
And after Etsy fees, that's still about $65,000 in profit
on the lifetime of this listing.
But doing it this way is incredibly inefficient
and we can't even really see the exact revenue.
So one tool that we can use is Alura,
which will pull all of the data on those listings.
So for example, if we type in socks into Etsy,
we can click on this Chrome extension
and see all of the socks
that are doing over $1000 a month in revenue.
And right here I see these great white shark socks,
so I'm going to use this for inspiration for my store
and head back over to Nightcafe.
I typed in cute manatee logo and this is what I got back.
Now I spent 10 bucks on 200 credits,
and you don't have to do that,
I just wanted to do a lot of experimentation for this video.
And that ends up being about 800 pictures,
or only 25 cents a photo.
And when I talk to other people
who have done this in the past
that would commission this on Fiverr, a freelancing site,
they would pay $5 a photo,
meaning that this has cut the cost down by 2000%.
Now, out of the four that were generated,
I really liked the bottom right one,
but we're not done yet.
I clicked the Evolve button and I got these four images,
and the bottom right one is going to be what I'm using
to create our first product.
And you can actually keep evolving images
to get four more images each time,
or you can take those images through a style transfer,
which I did right here but I decided not to use any of them.
But before putting these images on any products,
I actually took them over to Vector Magic
to convert them over to vectors.
That way, when these images get enlarged,
it doesn't damage the quality.
And now we can head over to Printify to start designing,
but I want to add this design to some socks.
So I'm adding a pattern to each side of the leg,
the left and the right, and from there, the socks are done.
Printify does cost each month,
but I'll have a link down below for a free trial
if you use my link.
Now we can actually create our Etsy store,
and I'm naming the store The Blue Buck,
and I'm picking something broad here
so I can try several different items,
probably the theme of everything being blue.
And to get all of your designs from Printify onto Etsy
is just connect your store over on Printify and that's it.
But I really want to make our listings pop
with a good description, and currently Chat GTP is down.
But what I'm using as a current alternative is Jasper AI.
Now, Jasper AI does cost $25 each month,
but it is much more efficient
to create listing descriptions this way,
especially if you're going to be creating
hundreds of listings.
And what I did was I headed over to the template tab,
I clicked on the Amazon product template,
and you just plug in some descriptions about your item,
and it popped out this entire description
of the manatee socks.
But Etsy's Print on Demand is just one platform,
and there's one that's much bigger, Merch by Amazon.
It has a similar premise
where you're just creating designs to be sold on Amazon.
However, there are three big differences.
The first being is the approval process.
Unlike Etsy, where you get approved right away,
Merch by Amazon can take days, and once you do get approved,
you can only list one shirt a day up to 10 shirts
until you get a certain amount of sales,
and then you can start selling more.
But the biggest difference
is that Merch by Amazon takes 75% of the fees.
And you're probably thinking right now,
why would I want to sell this $20 shirt and only make $5,
when I could sell this somewhere else
and make a lot more money?
Well, the reason being
is that Amazon has 200 million Prime members.
So where on Etsy, we saw this one shirt
that was selling for a thousand bucks,
where the seller was making $750,
this shirt right here is doing $23,000 a month
and the person selling it is making $5,000 in profit.
And not only is there a much higher demand,
each marketplace has its own audience,
so there's a chance that you have some designs
that are doing well over on Etsy
that aren't doing well on Amazon, and vice versa.
One other thing I've noticed
in my half a decade of selling on Amazon
is that when Amazon does put
these restrictions in place for new sellers,
it ends up benefiting the sellers
and the entire ecosystem long term.
So let's say you work up those tiers
and you can list a thousand shirts now,
you're not going to have to worry as much
about new sellers coming in and saturating the market,
and this isn't even going to take any extra time
since we're using AI to automate the entire process,
and this is how to avoid saturation.
Saturation doesn't really exist.
It just means that too many people
are trying to solve the same problems.
So to stay ahead of the competition,
you constantly need to be solving different problems,
and that's by building up different stores
on multiple platforms
and constantly testing out new designs and different niches.
Now, if this store can get $1000 profit per month,
I will be giving it away to one subscriber.
And normally I don't document everything that I test out,
because for every successful income stream,
there are three or four failures.
But hopefully this inspires you guys to start,
because it's easier now than ever
to take advantage of these opportunities.
But this is only a tiny sliver in the possibilities
of leveraging artificial intelligence
in this emerging wave of new technology,
and failure to understand this
would be like waiting to understand the internet
when it became accessible to everyone.

that will make you absolutely lethal this year.
