in this video I'm going to show you how to use mid journey to make mock-ups for your print on demand
products hi guys my name is RJ Martinez I've been doing print on demand for over six years now and
I have made over a million dollars in sales all time all right so I'm over here in the back end
of mid journey and I typed in mock-up for a plain black t-shirt on a wood floor so this right here
depending on what it is so mock-up for a plain black T-shirt you can switch this to white T-shirt
red t-shirt green t-shirt whatever color T-shirt that you would want to you know put a design
on and then I just mess with this and this all depends on the theme too so on a wood floor and it
gets you to think now there's different scenarios there's different scenes this all depends right
you so think about like a different different holidays coming up that'll be a good idea or just
the theme of your your website the theme of your Etsy shop or your Etsy store there's different
things that you can put right here let's say like you want like a cloud background a cloudy Blue Sky
background or something like that you don't want the wood floor right you can do that now I did it
right here on the white one too as well mock-up for a plain white T-shirt hanging on a wall same
thing here so just different kind of you know it's almost like this one's not this one doesn't have
a hanger this one does right so just think about it like how you're talking to it and how you're
going to describe what you want and what type of mock-up you want at the end of the day you can do
you can even do this for all holidays keep that in mind so you can do like Christmas Thanksgiving
Fourth of July whatever it is you know and the way that you want to do it this is what I recommend
you know how you would talk to a mocca for a plain white T-shirt so hanging on a wall with a you know
Fourth of July theme background or a Thanksgiving theme background now any of these two as well just
keep in mind you can you know upscale any of these images here if you like a certain one you can do
a different variation if you like number one you want to do a variation of that one you like that
you know the ID and how it looks the theme of it you can do a different variation of that one I'm
going to show you this in this video so make sure you stay to the very end of this same thing with
this one too as well so you can see how I did that very simple very easy so I did some themed
mock-ups so here's the Fourth of July one you can see what it did here kind of getting the concept
getting the idea I think it's maybe just even just just do for set of Fourth of July I maybe would do
just American flag themed background kind of get the idea now when it comes to doing research for
print on demand my go-to tool is Merch Informer I'm gonna have my affiliate link Down Below in
the description so check the idea of that out of you know whatever you're whatever the holiday is
and what people are really passionate about so and you're seeing like a lot of you know American
flags for Fourth of July stuff like that or even just like a barbecue cookout stuff you know in a
barbecue theme background something like that would be really good too I think with you know
a theme of Fourth of July and then we come down Thanksgiving now Thanksgiving themed background
you see what I did here and it's kind of I did a pretty good job with this one right there are
certain ones and some of them they even put a a design on the actual t-shirt itself now we look
at the background they're pretty good right and kind of you know it gets the the theme the style
of Thanksgiving right so if we go down and we got Christmas now I think it was like getting
the concept like this one's pretty decent I like this one right but I think if anything that you're
trying to do if there's like a certain theme that you want if you want more pine cones you know
say I want more pine cones you know in this mock-up or put more pine cones in the mock-up
right so think about it that way or you want like a Christmas gifts in the background think
about it like that when you're creating the prompt make sure you include it in there and
this will help you you know generate what you're looking for same thing here mock-up plain black
T-shirt Easter themed background I mean look right let's get it has some there's some orange eggs so
if you want like a certain color egg more of that certain color right or if you want a Easter bunny
in the background or something like that you can do that too as well so you can see with
the idea here right in the creating different themed mock-ups or even just coming over here
and just creating a simple mock-up something like a white or a black all right so I went ahead and
took a you know the black plain mock-up T-shirt with the wood background right here you can see
the prompt that I typed in right and I upscaled it the variation two right there so it went ahead
and you know brought us up the variation too I went ahead and right clicked the needle right
click and you just save the image right just come over here to a photo LP and we're going to come
over here to new project and then the width we're gonna do is 27 and four two zero two five DPI it's
all up to you but this I'm just gonna just I'll leave it at 72 DPI and then the background I'm
going to go ahead and change it to transparent and then I'm going to go ahead and hit create
and that right there is basically the listing size requirements for you know Etsy so they require
a minimum of uh 72 DPI resolution at least right now if we come over here I'm going to go ahead and
grab an image I'm gonna grab that mock-up let me bring this over here I'm gonna grab that mock-up
drag and drop the image over here and then as I drag and drop that image I'm gonna go ahead and
you know scale it out Bring It closer to the side simple and remember to like if you don't
like doing these you know these type of scaled out images like that you can also come over to
grab this one over here and bring it over here so you can see pixel cut and you can go ahead
and upload an image over here and I explained this information right here in the video up in the card
up here you check that out like the step-by-step process on how to upscale any image and this is an
AI image right so we can upscale this image right here and make it like more of a higher quality
image so you can do the little stretches and stuff a little stretching and however you want if you're
not a big fan of you know stretching out an image you want to upscale it you can definitely do that
over here with pixel cut and it's free now we're going to go ahead and add a let me add a a design
to this so we can get this bad boy rocking alright so now we're with the mock I say we're with the
mock-up but we have it let's go like that and we're happy with it and what we're going to do
is just resize this to this and you can do this with all your designs if you like right click on
making sure we got this as best as possible and straight as possible on here and also if
you're looking at this you can see like I'm just clicking the images clicking them I'm
highlighting them and moving them around as best as I see fit now that right there seems
and you can also too keep in mind you can you can stretch in any of these images out kind of
just enlarge and make them a little bit bigger so you know you're a little bit happier with
where the placement of this actual design is and it's all about you know getting it to that right
placement to how you want it right and boom and then depending on how you want to save
it or export it as let's say JPEG and go ahead and we're going to save it as a JPEG and we're
going to hit save and then we'll come over here and enlarge the image and boom crazy huh really
cool real awesome and you know that's is you know how you create a mock-up for your
Etsy shop or your own personal website or even if you're running some type of ads to a certain
design boom right there is how you would create a mock-up using this is all using AI too by the way
