So today we're exploring how you can make money with 3d printing, but not
actually printing anything. We're talking about making money with a
3D designs, creating those 3D designs for free on one
website, without even having any experience doing that, and then
getting paid for it on another website, we don't even have to
generate the traffic. And if you stick around long enough, I'll show
you a second source of traffic that can possibly get more eyeballs and
wallets to your store. So let's get straight into it. Okay, so the first
website we'll be checking out is my manufacturing.com. This is a really
cool website that would allow you to create a store to sell your 3d
designs discretely. This store connects to different types of
people, people who want to buy 3d designs to print, and then people
who want to get paid for making 3d designs. In case you're wondering if
3d printing is something that is trending right now, according to
Google Trends, it has been consistent over the past few years,
and raising on YouTube alone for the past month, on average has over 10
million searches each month. And the good thing about my mini factory.com
Is that it gets a lot of organic traffic each month. As you can see
right here on Uber Suggest it gets over 300,000 monthly visitors. Keep
in mind, these are not people who are just interested in printing
something or designs. This website, it's specific to treaty designs and
getting them printed. So people who are visiting this site is already
interested in 3d designs and 3d printing. This also increases the
chances of somebody buying something. So basically, what you're
going to have is a store here, where a buyer would hit store, come down
to one of these Featured Products click it after they make the
decision on whether they want to buy this product, and they hit Add File,
circuit and purchase. The good thing about this site as well is unlike
similar sites that take a large chunk of the profits, you get to
earn 90% of the sale. So 90% of the sale goes to the designer, which in
this case is going to be you. But don't worry about the treaty designs
as yet, you're not going to need any 3d experience to create those
designs. And I'll show you that in a minute. So what you're going to
simply do is head over to contribute open a store. And I'll simply come
down to open your store. But as you can see here, it says open your
store for 20 $24.99 per month where you will 90% from The Sales. Don't
panic as yet, because I will show you a little bit in the video how
you can get the money for that for free. And the truth is, once you
make a few sales, just a few sales, you should be able to more than make
back this 2499. So let's go into opening your store. The registration
process is simple. Just hit join and follow the basic instructions. So
once you've registered, and you're logged in, you simply come up to
upload and hit treaty object to upload your treaty design. But But
of course, you need to have a treaty design to upload here. So now we're
going to make the treaty design for free and with no experience at all.
But what we want to do is make sure that something that we're trying to
sell on my manufacturer.com, we want to make sure that it's already
selling, we don't want to just pitch an idea, put in the work, create a
product, and then we get zero sales. So what we're going to do is a
little bit of research first to see something that is actually selling,
and then we're going to make the product. So what you want to do to
get started with this is head over to explore tab, then just choose a
category, let's just choose fashion and accessories. And you can see on
the left hand side here, you can sort sort by magic. So you have
popularity did publish and views we're going to choose popularity for
this stuff here is going to be the most popular items for sale on this
site in that category. So we can simply just choose something here
that we want to proceed with. Another thing that you can do is
search for something that a lot of people already use. For example, a
cup, everybody uses cups, so you can simply search for cups, and then
narrow down the search on the left hand side here. But as you can see
already, there are a lot of options to choose from here things are cups
that are getting a lot of views and seals. And the reason why I searched
for cups is because you want to start with a product that's
relatively easy to design. You don't want to start with something too
complicated. And when you're at that point, you might want to outsource
that part of it when you're making money. Of course, though, for the
sake of this example,
we're going to design a 3d cup. And we're going to create the design of
that cup for free with this 3d design tool called Autodesk
Tinkercad. Tinkercad is arguably one of the simplest and most intuitive
3d modeling tools can be found online for free. Of course, what
makes this so convenient is that it just operates in your browser, you
don't have to install anything on you just create an account for free
and you hit Create new design. And the interface is very
straightforward, but don't panic as yet. You don't have to figure out
any of this for yourself, because it's something popular like a cup.
We're just going to look for a tutorial online and make a cup.
Okay, so for this example, we're going to design this 3d cup and this
is going to should be much simpler than you actually think. So I'm just
going to undo everything that I just did. And then I'm going to show you
how it could easily be done is simply just going to come over to
this cylinder here, drag it onto the canvas, stretch it out a little bit,
probably makes it a little bit taller, then I'm going to come over
here now and find something for the handle. So we're just going to take
this tool and drag this right here, we need to try flipping it to align
it to what's the cup, now we want to simply connect it to the cup, so
you're gonna come over here, no, and here's where you can move things
around. So you're gonna take this snow and move it around, so you can
easily move around, but what we want to do is put it towards the cup, and
to make sure it's looking like a handle. Okay, so that does not look
like a handle, we want to bring that up a little bit. Okay, so just
simply pull this up, there is an something like an arrow here, you
just hit that and drag it up. An easy way to view this in the treaty
perspective is press CTRL on your keyboard, and then drag and hold
left click with your mouse, and it can move around like that to make
sure that it's looking good. But as you can see, there's no place in
sight for the coffee. So we need to put a cylinder in there. And to do
that, you simply grab this cylinder over here, want to make sure it's a
little bit taller, because we want to make see that it's going inside
of the cup. So again, Ctrl button on the keyboard, left click and drag on
the mouse to see from a top view. And we could just position that in
the middle. And then we come back to see how this looks. It's a pretty
big handle. But we're just gonna go with that because it's just an
example. Left click, drag, and you want to highlight everything, and
then you simply come up group. So there is your cup, of course, you
could go in and change all of the colors and play around with it
yourself. But this was to simply show you how easy it is to make this
tree design. This can literally take you a few minutes. Of course, if you
play around with the program. And once you're finished, you just hit
Export, and you have an option here for 3d printing. So you have several
different options to choose for exporting. Now remember this is if
you want to create the design yourself and you don't want to spend
any money. No, if you have some extra cash to spend and less time,
you can head over to a site like Fiverr and search for 3d designs.
And there are a lot of designers right here. And there are a lot of
different designers with different prices, where you can simply just
choose one of them, let them know what the job entails and let them
make it. But let's say you didn't want to spend any money and you
created the design yourself. You then head back over to your
manufacturer, optimize your store, upload your design, and fill out all
of the required information here. Tags would be things like cups,
coffee mugs, and a detailed description so that when somebody
searches for a product, like a cup of coffee mug, your product will be
showcased in the results. And once you make your first few sales on my
manufacturer.com, then you can more than afford for a next month of the
monthly membership. And as well if you want to outsource the designing,
because if you're making success with one of the products, then it
would only make sense to make another 2d design and another which
would increase the chances of more people stumbling upon your store and
making a purchase. And at that point, you could start outsourcing
the 3d designing. That's if you didn't start to like the process of
creating the designs yourself, then you can save that money. So now that
you have your design created and uploaded on your store, you can get
traffic directly from my manufacturer.com if you optimize it
properly, because as I mentioned, people are coming onto this site to
buy treaty designs. But I did promise an additional way for you to
get traffic on your store. And that is by using Pinterest. As you can
see, I search for treaty Design for Print. And on the food you can
consider this the first page right here, there is a channel that has
only 20 followers, but it ranked on the first page and this treaty
design. If somebody clicks here, it takes them to their my mini factory
store.
So in addition for somebody making purchases by visiting my
manufacturer.com, somebody can be browsing for something on Pinterest,
and this takes them directly to the product for sale on my mini factory,
which increases the chances of you making additional sales. So just to
recap the process, you're heading over to my manufacturer.com going
into a category sorting on the left hand side for popularity, finding
something that is already selling well here, and you can also search
for something specific like a cup. Then after you decide on a product,
you then find a simple tutorial somewhere online or you can use
YouTube Google find something very simple to make if it's your first 3d
design, and we're going to use Autodesk Tinkercad. To create that
3d design. I show you how you can easily create this for free, you're
not spending any money to create that first 3d design. You then
export that and you have it on your store. While you can make sales on
my mini factory, I showed you an additional channel which is on
Pinterest for you to make additional sales. If you follow along with the
steps that I outlined in this video, then there's a good chance you're
setting yourself up for success in getting those first few seals which
I'm sure will cover the cost of that monthly subscription on my
manufacturer.com But if you're looking for an option where you can
come up with the money for free for that first month of membership, then
you're going to want to check out this video next, because then now
when I talk about how you can find free photos that you can then sell
on another website, and the money that you learn from that you can
reinvest the profits into my manufacturer.com membership where
you can then start making money with your 3d designs. So I'll see you
over there.
