I was doing some really awesome research today, and there's a lot of
stuff that went on over the weekend.
I'm not sure if you guys seen some, there's some UFC fights over the
weekend and a, it was UFC 300 and it was one of the biggest main events.
And just the way they promoted it, the way they did everything, it went over and
beyond with what was expected to happen.
Like I was expecting that to happen with the way they were promoting it and
the way they stacked the card up, but it literally just, Something I'm going
to talk about to later on this week.
It's just, it literally take took mixed martial arts MMA
to that next level, I believe.
Right?
So when it comes to that right there, you just going to have to think about,
, if it's, Took it to that next level.
Like there's obviously there's money to be made.
There's t shirt designs that need to be made.
And obviously everything that you're doing.
And as far as research, just with certain trends and you know, certain
things happening in the world, there's always opportunity with
inside these different niches, right?
There's always a new t shirt idea.
There's always a new book idea.
There's always a new design idea.
There's, oh, there's, there's so many things that are happening.
. So you can never run out of ideas, right?
Just want to keep that in mind when you're coming.
Like thinking about everything that I'm telling you, never run out of ideas.
There's always something new happening.
Right?
So I was coming across came across this t shirt.
. And it's a QR code.
And if you're not aware of what a QR code is, it's basically, you're going to
take your phone and you can scan that.
. Now think about it as an individual wearing it and they're scanning it.
And literally this is what it's saying.
It's saying F you.
. And I'm going to show you exactly what I'm talking about when
I scanned this with my phone.
But one thing I want to point out, we're seeing this, right?
. Amazon has always been strict with the rules of, , you can put cuss
words on t shirts or you can put, you know, the cuss words on the title.
And then next thing you know, they're like, no, you cannot
put cuss words on t shirts.
You can't do this.
So they seem to be very confused on what they should do with this and
you know, how they should do it.
I think it's, it's, it's important when, when platforms don't know what they're
doing at first one year, it's good.
The next year isn't good.
One thing I've done is kind of just stay away from this.
. But that's not saying that's saying to basically do what you know, right?
And go with what you know.
. And I'm always a big fan of like, don't try to do something different.
And and, and don't, don't try to do something different and
try to go around the rules.
Obviously like this person is doing, they put a space right here on purpose.
. I'm pretty sure they're probably like, Oh, can I do this?
And I'm not sure if I can do this.
Can I do it or not?
This opens up a lot though.
Like even if you do not want to do it on Amazon merch, you
can think of different things.
So when you scan this, Like think of different ideas that you can possibly
use to create a different saying or a different phrase, or like, you know, for
example, like, will you marry me, right?
Scan this QR code.
This would be a good idea, right?
That's just an idea.
. So like if someone scans it, then it pops up.
Will you marry me?
I'm gonna show you right now too, as well.
So I'm going to go ahead and get my phone.
We're going to go ahead and scan this QR code.
Alright, and it's saying, it's, it's taking me to a PDF, and it's hitting,
I'm hitting download, and then I'm gonna go ahead and open it up, so it's scan
the QR code, and that's what it says, it says FU, so that's all it's doing
right there, right, which is pretty crazy, because it's like, huh, like, does
this, like, when it, it's just funny, right, the whole concept, the whole
idea, but like, What else can you do?
Besides saying the F you part of it.
I love you.
Will you marry me?
Let's go on vacation.
Like those are just certain different, those are different ideas that
I'm personally coming up with.
. So when it comes to any of this.
I'm always on the look and seeing like, , what is, what else can you do?
. What's the, what's the idea of this and what else can you do?
And yeah, next is I'm going to show you actually how to create the QR code.
. So you can pretty much do anything you want to do.
If you want to do a PDF and, or do whatever, whatever it
is with this, you can do that.
. So it just I thought it was really cool, creative.
I liked the concept, like the idea, and then just taking it to that next level
where you want to be with, like, it's just like, it's a t shirt design, but
now you're, someone scans the t shirt and then it goes, it goes into like,
you're, you're scanning it and then you're downloading a PDF and then it's
saying a message on your cell phone.
I think it's, that's pretty creative.
That's what I'm, you know, I think it's pretty creative.
So the next thing is.
How do you do this?
How do you create this?
And what else can you do here?
All right.
So I went ahead and found a Q R creator, Q R F Y.
com.
Now I'm not no affiliate or nothing like that.
I was just trying to find one to help me create a, you know, A QR code so I can
put a custom, you know, PDF inside of it or whatever you plan on doing with this
or whatever creative idea that you you thought of, there's several different
things that can be done with this.
I think that are really cool.
And we'll dive into it, how you create the QR code, right?
So I went over here.
I signed up credit account.
Now this is a seven day free trial.
Trying to find a free one.
If anyone finds a free one that you can create QR codes, let me know down below
in the comments, please, because yeah, I would like to check it out myself.
So what I did was come over here to create a new QR code.
Now look at, this is crazy because During like the pandemic in 2020 over here in
my area, like I seen a lot of restaurants create, you know, just go from no menus
to digital menus when they were creating, you know, scan the QR code and you
can put the menu and it gives you all the, you know, how you can order from.
Your phone, you can, you know, scan it from your phone.
You can order from your phone.
You can look at the whole menu.
You can order drinks.
You can do a ton of stuff right here.
Now, I think that's really cool.
But also too, it's, there's nothing wrong with the, the original
old school way with the menu.
I like that one way.
I like that way too, as well, but it just.
There's a ton of different ideas here.
, just showing you this because it's like, what else can you do?
Since we felt like we found like QR code shirts It's like is there anything
else that can be done here and maybe you have some ideas and if you want to
share leave a comment down below So PDF.
. Now you can use like different templates here.
There's a ton of different things that you can be done here You can use a
different template if you want to do any of this stuff You can mess with any of
this right here . Which is pretty cool.
. So just if you download that, you get this PDF type of appearance over here.
Now for this example, we'll just leave that out right there.
Now I'm going to put, I love you.
I love you part two.
. Now this is the idea.
It was like, will you marry me?
Just, just, just different stuff, like different ideas
that can be done right here.
There's gonna be, there's a lot that can be done here.
. And I'm gonna show you how to create the actual The image in here
that you can upload to right here.
Now you're going to come over here to design.
You can choose like different colors here.
If you want to do any of that, you can choose any of these colors.
So let's do like a purple and that color.
And you can switch any of this.
All this is customizable too, which is cool.
All right, now I'm going to go here.
There's different fonts.
There's all this stuff right here, but I'm going to go ahead
and go to basic information.
I'm going to upload this PDF that I have over here.
Now I uploaded it.
. I just uploaded a simple PDF over here and you're going to see.
Right.
See the color now kind of populated right there.
I can change any of this stuff if I want to do any of that.
Now, when you're able to, when you're squashed, obviously you can,
this is what you're going to see when you scan the QR code, right?
When you put the design on the shirt.
What I did was come over here to, to Microsoft word.
You can probably do this in Canva.
You can do this any, any type of, any design.
Dot creator that you can save.
And what I did was save, come over here to, as I save this, this PDF,
let me show you, I saved the PDF file and then let me show you what I did.
So this is a new file.
I love you.
Right.
And then I just put the exclamation points, right.
And you can obviously.
You're gonna, what you want to do is kind of make it a little bit bigger and then
I just centered it and then you can just change the font to any color that you
want to change to up here, just hit the little font, you can change the color.
, now any, any, any, I'm pretty sure you can do this in Canva, you can do this in any
type of Word doc that you can possibly get your hands on, you can do that and then
what we're going to do is come over here to file and then if we're going to save
as and then save as I love you, right?
Dad, dad, dad, dad, part.
three, four, five, whatever.
And then the word doc part right here, I'm just going to put hit
save as and just save it as a PDF.
Bam.
That's simple.
. And then obviously when the person scans the QR code, this is going to populate.
It's making sure that you're following along with me here.
Now we uploaded the PDF here.
We have it here and I'm just going to come down.
There's a few other things that you can look at if you want to look at that.
But for this example, we're just going to stay with what we have here.
Just keep it simple.
If you want to go into more detail and do any of that stuff,
you're more than welcome to.
Now this is cool.
I'm just going to leave the QR code, but look at this.
I thought this is really cool.
They're doing like different graphics.
So coffee, you get what I'm saying?
There's a coffee QR code right here.
Another coffee QR code.
It's like a barbecue QR code, a beer QR code, a bag QR code.
There's a, there's a lot of different ideas here.
. So if you can get creative with this, I can see like funny quotes or funny
things like a beer drinking shirt that can work really good right here.
. So even if you create your own design and you put a QR code inside of a beer
mug or create your own custom beer mug or whatever it is that you want to do.
It can be a lot there's a lot can be done and we're going to keep this symbol
right here You can obviously going back to the the shirt that we found here.
You can see how it's all orange.
, that's pretty easy inside of here that lets you you know,
you can edit anything in here.
, so if you want to Turn it red.
You can do that.
If you want to just keep it black, you can do that.
. So let's say I want to turn that red and then I want to turn the border.
You're going to see that.
See, I turned it white.
We don't want that because it probably won't scan.
. I want to just keep the borders black, right?
And then I want to, and the, the background, you can,
. . You can see, see that little inside right there.
You can change that.
Then you can change like the different, like you can do a
lot, a lot of shapes in here.
You can put in little hearts if you want to do that.
. So there's a lot that can be done.
I think this is really, really cool.
. So, but I'm going to go ahead and just, you know, all that right there, you can
just hold the whole process all done.
You can change all that.
All that's good.
And then let's say we're done.
We're completely done.
We like it.
And let me just switch this back.
We like it.
We're good.
We're happy with all that right there.
We hit complete.
Now I did it already once right here.
So, but the thing is too, you can come over here after this is done right here.
You can download this and it's obviously tracking the scans too.
So you can get an idea of the information so we can hit download, but then you
can download it in the PNG format SVG.
There's a few different formats, PDF.
We want to hit, I'm going to hit right here at custom.
You can also do an SVG file too, but custom and then look at, you
can upscale it inside of here too.
. Which is really cool.
And once you hit that download, boom, it's downloaded, right?
Now we're going to go ahead and remove the background and remove the
background to show you, you know you know, how you remove the background and
then get the transparent background, then upload it over to Amazon Merch.
I went over here to Canva.
com and I'm going to upload the image here.
These I'm going to do with the Amazon Merch format template right there.
. 45 by 5, 400.
And then I'm going to go ahead and upload this QR code, which is here.
. How to upload that QR code.
All right.
Go ahead and bring it out a little bit.
We got the middle right there.
And this cool thing about Canva, he does a lot of this stuff for you.
I'm going to go ahead and bring it up a little bit more.
You can see the centering of it right there.
. Not the center, but it's, you can see how it's positioned right there.
I'm going to go ahead and bring it up a little bit, bring
it a little bit down there.
Boom.
And then the cool thing about Canva, I can hit the the actual image
and remove, Remove the background.
Right.
And as I hit, remove the background, boom, it removed the background for me.
. And then I can do any type of any, you can see it did a really good job at it.
Look at that.
Clean.
Nice.
Right.
Hit back.
We're good.
Now I'm going to come up here to share, download, and then we're
going to do a transparent background.
All right.
It's going to go ahead and download that in a transparent background for us.
Then we'll go over here to Amazon merch and upload the design that it just
did for a drag and drop and boom, pop.
. Now let's say like Well, obviously we want to see how it looks.
Take it off that black background.
Now, one thing too, it's a moment of truth.
Let's go ahead and see if we can scan this just on that, on that mock up right there.
And it did it work to see it popped up a little link and then code into my phone.
And there's the PDF, right?
You can see the PDF.
If I even want to open up a little bit bigger to see that.
There's the PDF, but it also too, it was pretty cool because it brought
it up in that little cool template.
Right.
So you can do anything with it, which is really awesome.
So it worked.
It scanned it from the mock, from the mock up right here on Amazon merch.
. When you're uploading your design, getting the whole process and doing
that uploading over there, it worked.
So it's pretty cool.
So, but also to keep in mind.
If it's getting from here, the image is going to be a little
bit bigger on the t shirt.
So, but for the most part, this right here, it should scan.
. So just keep in mind if you're down, I don't know, we'll just test it out and
see what happens, but it should scan.
It's a really, that's a really cool way to kind of just be different
from the rest of your competition and think of different ways like this.
. So if you want to learn how to, Optimize a listing with Amazon merch.
Watch this video right here.
Next.
I go into detail on how to put really solid keywords in to your Amazon
listing so you can be searched or be found by a lot of customers on
Amazon and make a lot of sales.
