hey what's up guys I am excited for
today's video more than normal because
have you ever browsed Etsy and come
across some of these custom products in
their catalog that are generating
thousands of dollars a month in orders
and thought to yourself I get it I get
why people are buying this product but
how in the world is the seller on the
other side fulfilling all of these
orders it doesn't make sense either
they've got a massive team of va's
virtual assistants helping them with the
custom aspects of these orders on the
back end or perhaps we can theorize that
some software might exist that helps
streamline customization requests am I
the only one that's thought that before
anyways the purpose of today's video is
to let you know yes software does exist
that can streamline these customization
requests not that many people know about
it at least I'm assuming right because I
didn't know about it and I'm out here
grinding regularly trying to figure this
stuff out and I'm pretty well networked
and I hadn't heard of it the software
I'm going to show you today is called
customilly and I'm going to venture
against that more than a couple of these
really
um I don't want to say high-end but like
these product listings that are just
doing massive numbers with
customizations on Etsy specifically but
actually custom Italy supports more than
just Etsy are probably using custom
Milli as their software solution that is
giving them such a big leg up over the
competition so I want to introduce you
to what it is how it works and I'm going
to wow you I'm gonna blow your mind I
promise you that so let's get started
real quick before we get started guys
I've got a link to join customilly right
there at the top of the description also
down there I've got a link to my free
weekly print on demand giveaway my free
print on demand mini course that'll get
you started with Etsy which is relevant
to this video I'll send you one lesson a
day via email and my print on demand
Facebook group so check all of those out
so here's an example of what your
listing may look like in Etsy that you
create with custom elite now keep in
mind the real functionality that
customly is delivering takes place after
the order okay right now we're seeing
the front end of an Etsy product listing
we can create and customize this however
we see fit okay in this demo listing
right here uh this is just you know two
images and very straightforward to the
point
um just to make note that like if it's
not a demo listing like this one in
front of me I'm probably gonna spend a
lot more time and effort making it look
better putting more images in
ETC you know what I mean all the best
practices that we're hopefully all
familiar with if not uh subscribe to my
channel check out my Etsy content um
generally speaking you know two images
is not what I would roll with but for
the sake of a demo listing this will
work so let's say hey uh it's my
anniversary coming up I want to get a
custom painting for me and Marielle to
give her as a gift and I find my way on
over to Etsy and I see a personalized
couples portrait wow perfect now I don't
have to do any of the artwork myself and
what's really cool is that if this was
just a normal like Etsy personalization
then I would have one text box with a
write-in and that's severely limiting
all the various customization aspects
that are available that custom Milli is
going to open the door to so with this
customly enabled listing when I check
out so I add to cart and I make the
purchase
because Etsy lets us see our customers
email address custom Milli when it
integrates with our account they will
automatically email our customer
and the email will look something like
this so this is an actual custom email
that you see behind me that would get
triggered off of purchasing this listing
all right so the customer's like oh wow
the order is ready to be personalized
perfect hopefully hopefully the customer
checks their email of course
um by the way you could actually while
I'm thinking about it you could
integrate this also with allora you guys
have heard me talk about Alora uh
basically a full Suite of Etsy seller
tools and you can set up the messaging
automation to also maybe say hey don't
forget to personalize your order I'm
just saying that is possible be a very
nice complimentary tool to uh customly
so anyways uh then you go ahead and
click personalize all right and in this
case we are talking about a product
that is basically like a canvas painting
with various um custom aspects but just
so you guys know
it doesn't have to be like a painting
you know what I mean we have an
open-ended ability to customize all
types of things I'm going to show you in
this example what we can customize but I
just don't want you to you to get your
thinking boxed in that it has to be this
it can be any number of things all right
they liken it to as if you're designing
in canva so you know how much Freedom we
have in canva and how easy it is to kind
of plug and play change this change that
change colors Etc that's similar to
customly but also think that we are the
seller so right now I'm showing you the
customer's perspective
as the seller We Are One Step Up from
here and we design this whole sandbox we
determine what the customers that made
their purchase can and can't change so
just remember that part so in this case
the personalized couple portrait
uh we can type in her name so I might
type Marielle all right you can see in
real time there uh it's putting uh
Marielle down there and then his name
Marielle and Ryan I actually have done
some stuff like this back when I worked
as a web developer I you know worked
with a lot of non-profits and I would
make it so that you could buy like you
know a brick in somebody's honor and you
know you could type their name and it
would put the name on The Brick and you
know using JavaScript you can kind of
mock that up in real life or in real
time I should say not in real life then
you make the order and it pops up in
real life um so anyways you see on the
left hand side here it actually put
Marielle and Ryan uh and you can
customize skin color and this is again
this is just the sandbox so keep in mind
this is very customizable
um this is just the demo that we are
looking at so I click the skin color and
it changes in real time
uh hairstyle so you could do you know in
this case bun short mid long and you can
add even more lengths as well they have
various uh hairstyles now
um it may take like a second after you
click to change just because your
browser has to go and like actually
download the asset uh before it can
render it in real time in front of you
so I just wanted to make that clear but
again it's you know customer will figure
that out no worries can change the shirt
color
okay so all these things are
customizable uh pants color
Etc
um now I can customize the guy side on
the right okay let's change the hair
make myself bald why not maybe in like
30 years I think I'd probably get a hair
transplant honestly but we'll see when
that when that day comes hopefully it
doesn't come to that but you know who
knows knock on wood right all right back
on track uh change the pants color
and then you just submit personalization
and when you submit the personalization
guys us the sellers we get an email that
says hey the order is complete here's
the print file
the print file it's going to merge all
these layers down for us so that if
we're using let's say printful to
fulfill this order
all we do go to printful create the New
Order upload the print file that's
finished
and that's it you know what I mean it
couldn't be easier all right
um and again if we want to change
additional things in the uh the sandbox
that we've created here like I've seen
them reference changing the the frame
colors we can do that uh just keep in
mind guys like if we're using wait it
doesn't matter who we use honestly but
whoever we're using for the production
partner to fulfill these orders
they need to actually be able to like if
you're going to offer different frame
colors we need to match them up to
what's available
in printful or in printify or whoever
you know what I mean so just keep that
in mind you don't want to offer things
that you can't uh deliver on and check
this out guys customly has their own
cartoonizer built into the app all right
so what you see here is actually
pre-made but I said you know what I want
to test this so I opened it up on a
different tab I uploaded a picture of my
beautiful girlfriend Marielle as you can
see there and it transformed her into
what looks like a hand sketched cartoon
and it cropped me out of the photo so it
actually seems to have like some facial
recognition or something like that
because I I was actually in this photo
but it said nope zooming in on her and
uh you can see it actually looks really
good
um then I went in I typed her name typed
the date that was us at uh Red Rocks uh
Red Rocks amphi Amphitheater in Denver
um just you know recently in September
so great time at that concert and yeah I
mean as you guys can see like customally
is packed with functionality now guys
just to reiterate when you receive an
order on an Etsy listing that is tied to
customally
number one you're going to get your same
old email from Etsy saying hey you got
an order but the customer is then going
to get an automated email from
customally that says hey your order is
ready to be customized they follow the
link in that order they then customize
every attribute that we the sellers make
customizable and they when they have it
perfect they say submit when they click
that submit button it then kicks off an
email to us the seller saying hey that
order that just came through the
customer submitted their information
here is the production file all right
the finished product and then we can go
do something with that whether it's you
know going to printful and creating that
order or whatever it is all right and I
just wanted to mention as well customly
actually has support that they offer for
the sellers and the buyers and that's
something that really helps
um you know ease the potential you know
for any issues that might pop up with
just given that this is an added step
but again it's it's an added step that
these seller or these buyers are
willingly opting into when you buy
something that's custom you actually
intend to customize it right this is
just helping us do that in a streamlined
fashion
so as far as pricing goes because I know
you guys are wondering uh like for me as
soon as I heard about this I was like
I'm I hope it's not a thousand dollars a
month because I really want to get going
with this because uh like I said I've
looked at Etsy I've seen some listings
doing major volume but they have this
like high degree of customizability and
I'm like how is that possible and now
that we know how it's possible well how
much is it going to cost us let's see
the damage all right eight dollars per
product per month minimum 12 products so
you're not paying less than 96 dollars a
month
all right but
consider how much you're going to charge
per sale all right and keep in mind too
you could also just be selling digital
products as well because I know I've
seen a lot of these um best-selling like
highly custom listings they typically
sell physical products but they also may
sell just the digital print and that's
pure profit you know what I mean it's
pure profit
in addition I mean outside of what you
have to pay to customally to use their
software so it is worth considering but
it's minimum 12 products at eight
dollars per product which is going to
run you ninety six dollars a month for
the preview plan for the preview and
production which will deliver the ready
to print file it's uh double that so 16
dollars per product per month that comes
to 192 dollars a month for a new Etsy
Shop you may be thinking like oh man
that's a lot but again if you think in
terms of okay how many sales do I need
to make to pay that off and how should I
be pricing my products well the nice
thing is and we talked about it earlier
but when you offer these highly custom
products that not many sellers are
offering and you can imagine why because
it's not easy right especially if you
didn't know customly existed you tend to
be able to command a higher price point
and you also tend to run into reduced
competition so I know um you know it's
not for everybody but those you guys
that are out there that are go-getters
that are feeling the way that I'm
feeling inside which just like I got
that fire burning inside me I want to
see what I can do with this I want to
enter different niches I want to sell
custom dog photos custom portraits to
couples I want to sell custom jewelry
you know what I mean I can hop on over
to shine on and sell it there you know
what I mean there's so many it's just so
much potential guys
um and I said sell it on time I meant to
say fulfilled by shine on but anyways
that's what I'm thinking like there's
just endless possibilities so I'm
excited I'm gonna Dive Right In guys uh
and also if you if you want to do more
than 40 products by the way they do have
unlimited plans as well so you can reach
out to them about that but guys I hope
you'll check out custom Milly I'm gonna
drop a link right at the top of the
description it'll take you to their Etsy
specific uh page for Etsy sellers
because they do also integrate with
other e-commerce platforms I'm planning
on doing at least probably one more
video about custom melee and some of
their other e-commerce Integrations
because I just see so much potential
guys and you already know I like to be
contrarian if everybody's doing the
minimum I'm willing to go a little bit
above and beyond like using something
like customly that sets me apart from
the competition but that's just me I'm
willing to do that not everybody's
willing to do that and it's all good um
but you know Zig while people zag be a
little contrary and set yourself apart
and that's how you can sometimes stumble
upon the Etsy listings that make you a
thousand dollars a month profit you know
what I mean as opposed to just another
t-shirt that maybe sells once and makes
you to five to ten dollars profit you
know what I'm saying so guys that's it
for this video by the way I do have a
full print on demand course and that
includes my Etsy course so if you're
saying man I need to get my Etsy shop
going uh that's included in the full
print on demand course amongst other
things you know Amazon eBay Redbubble uh
all the other platforms I upload to so
make sure you guys check that out
there's a link in the description all
right guys thanks for watching please
like And subscribe and I'll see you soon
with a new video
