what's up guys with St Patrick's Day
coming down the pipeline a lot of sales
are going to be made in this Niche
there's a lot of different ways to
approach it in this video I am tailoring
it towards making sales on Etsy so I did
some Etsy research on the phrase St
Patrick's Day shirt for women I took a
look at some of the best sellers and I
said you know what I think I can do a
quick design tutorial on how to create
some of these designs uh specifically
the ones you see behind me in the
thumbnail of this video so I'm going to
show you how to design them and I can
very quickly show you how I would go
about creating some listings on my Etsy
shop so let's get to it
foreign
so check this out I came over to Etsy
and typed in St Patrick's Day shirt for
women let's take just a quick look a
quick scroll down the page at the type
of design styles that are performing
really well you'll you'll never guess
but Etsy tends to put the best sellers
for that search term or search phrase in
this case that someone typed in towards
the top because at the top you'll get
the most visibility and they want to
make their customers happy right
hopefully that's not news to anybody but
you know what I mean they want to put
the um most relevant products that they
think the customer will like in front of
them so they put them towards the top
and the closer you are to the top the
more visibility you get the more sales
you make it's a little feedback loop all
right now I specifically picked out a
few different designs that I liked uh
the first one is this simple Shamrock
with a different overlay so they
actually let you choose what
um pattern you want on your Shamrock
design now this makes me believe that
they're not actually uh probably like
printing glitter like putting an actual
glitter on the shirt or like a sequin or
anything like that it's probably just a
like print on demand design you know so
I think we can definitely handle making
something like this the next one I
wanted to do is gonna be uh kind of the
Shamrock made of smaller elements and
the third is just going to be a simple
lucky sweatshirt right where we just use
a good font and we type out the word
lucky because there's actually a couple
of those
um selling pretty well like here's one I
swear there was more upon further
inspection of course I went out of one
browser into a different web browser and
then it changed up the results uh
slightly so I do have the listing itself
saved right here and it used to be on
page one now I don't know exactly where
it is either way um you can tell it's
definitely a successful shop it's got
over 21 000 sales so we're gonna design
these today and then I'll show you how
to go about listing them on Etsy for
sale myself also one thing I'm not going
to spend too long on in this video is
showing you how to make really good
thumbnails because that could be a whole
like we could do like a whole week-long
course on how to make good thumbnails uh
but you can't skip that part
part of why these simple simple designs
behind me are performing so well is
because whoever made this listing framed
them really well so they perform well
they get clicked in search results
anyways let's start with this one so if
I want to make a design like this
and even offer up different versions of
it like where we can you know change the
appearance of the design element itself
which again that's going to be a
customization that's on you to fulfill
if you offer it uh but even if you don't
you just want to make this I mean simple
enough right now I don't know really how
to go about designing I mean if I've
tried hard enough I'm sure I could
figure out the Little Shamrock but let's
be real I can just go to create a
Fabrica grab a shamrock so right here
there is a I say Shamrock Clover maybe
I'm calling it the wrong thing I grab a
clover here uh there's an SVG you know
what I mean and there's a bunch of them
to choose from so I just I said this one
looks good enough so I grabbed this SVG
I've got it over here in the folder all
right and then I can just bounce to
photoshop and take the SVG drag drop it
in boom okay that's step one but how do
we get the glittery effect that we see
here you know and if we want to offer
multiple glitter effects how do we do
that
um you know we know how to do solid
color hopefully so we can go to pixels
this is just one way that I like to do
it all right we go to pixels pexels I'll
drop links to everything in the
description and I don't know we could
try typing in glitter I don't know that
that's how I'd normally do it okay yeah
this should work actually so they do
have like glittery patterns I would try
to grab one that looks like more
straightforward straight on let me just
scroll for a little bit just make sure I
don't pass up on a better one
no I think that one is going to be
probably the best
um in the past too I've also just looked
up universe and you can actually take
pictures of like the stars and it'll
work very similarly so anyways you can
click free download and it'll download
it I already did that on my end and now
what I'm gonna do is I'm going to drag
this into Photoshop like you can see
here over my shoulder I will cover the
entire Shamrock so I actually have a
little piece hanging out the bottom
there boom I covered the entire Shamrock
and then I'm just going to right click
the layer which I'm covering up behind
me I'm going to right click this layer
here and I'm just going to hit create
clipping mask and when it does that look
it covers the Shamrock the Clover and
here's the cool thing right if we want
to sell customizable colors which is
definitely not a required step but you
know sometimes uh like Steven was saying
in the interviews that I you know you
guys were loving that I dropped last
week
sometimes you just gotta take a hint
from the people doing it better than you
so what you can do if you want to offer
different colors and different design
Styles you can click image go to
adjustments go to Hue saturation all
right and then you can just play around
with the Hue and it'll actually change
the color
of the Shamrock so if you want like a
green boom you can play around with the
saturation as well all right if you guys
aren't familiar with these Concepts
um you know quick Google search probably
do the job but either way all right so
you can make it red blue green really
whatever you want all right so a nice
green Shamrock there maybe a make a
little bit deeper saturation I think
that looks good against the white shirt
and for all intents and purposes that's
uh really what I was looking to do here
now if you like this pattern more
looks more like a sequin pattern
um again you're it's really up to you I
mean if you have a creative Fabrica
subscription I'm sure you could type in
like
sequin pattern or something like that
and there's they have everything here so
of course yeah they've got a bunch of
them here on Creative Fabrica as you can
see behind me um you can go here and do
it you can go back to pixels and look
for something but again I'm just trying
to show you that there's really no
excuse I mean you can do this really
easily also there is a website called
photo P all right it's a free online
version of Photoshop that works in your
web browser I'll link to that in the
description as well in case you don't
have Photoshop you don't feel like
paying for it no worries you get it for
free anyways no excuses all right next
one
this one is a little bit trickier for me
because I'm not as experienced with
creating bigger designs from smaller
designs like I would trust Juna and
Detour shirts a professional graphic
designer to do this like 10 times better
than me so you know what I might do is I
might just stick to my strengths I might
come to the shape Cloud generator on
Creative Fabrica so when using this Tool
uh well first go to Tools in navigation
then go down to shape cloud and it'll
bring you here you're actually able to
upload custom shapes so I went ahead and
I took our SVG that we grabbed from
creative Fabrica earlier and I uploaded
the SVG here you'll notice it's missing
a stem so when we're done with this
graphic we'll probably have to go in and
just like manually add in a stem that
doesn't have a word but from here guys
uh first and foremost you know we can
change the color to Green we can change
the font if we want to I'm actually okay
with this font though Pacifico font
uh and then we can add our own words so
we can delete the basic words here and
we could type in you know clover
leprechaun lucky
uh gold why not
um Saint Patty
what else is there green color green
does that sound good and then we can
just hit update changes and then when it
spits out the end result uh you can
click download design I'm just gonna
honestly screenshot it for the sake of
this video to keep it moving and then
I'm going to turn off our previous work
I'll paste this one
and again what you're seeing me do here
is not how you would do it I'm just
doing this for the sake of the video uh
so you then you paste it in here and if
you want to just draw a tail on first
I'm going to grab the color green and
actually you know what I'm just going to
grab the tail off of
um the original Shamrock make my life
easy here
so I'll just go ahead and cut that off
I will re-enable our previous one you'll
notice that the color green does not
match so that's something that
um I should probably do so I'll right
click I'll do blending options do color
overlay
and I will borrow the color green to
match the text in our shape Cloud design
so check that out that was easy enough
right and then of course we're going to
export it as a transparent PNG and
upload it for sale the last one that we
wanted to do very simple straightforward
design I mentioned I alluded to earlier
that the reason this is probably selling
so well well number one it's you know a
shop that has a lot of sales they very
clearly know what they're doing you know
21 000 plus sales
um good keywords all that stuff but also
just great framing of the products now
I don't know of a way to offer I mean I
do know of a way I don't know of a way
that doesn't require a lot of additional
time and effort to rig to offer you know
a white product with a green design and
a green product with a white design if
that's something you want to do know
that it can be done but to do it and
have it fully automated it's going to
require some extra rigging that like you
know if there's enough interest maybe we
do a video on that in the future but I
typically will just pick one and move
along with that
um to keep it straightforward
um that being said here we really just
need a good script font to make this
work and why don't we go ahead and
actually make the background color green
for this one and we'll use a white
foreground
so before I started recording this video
I went and I found a really nice script
font that I actually love for this
purpose called Lionel on Creative
Fabrica they've got tens of thousands of
fonts of course they've got you know a
font for every occasion uh this one
though wait till you see how good it
looks okay so all we really need to do
is type lucky but we just need to make
it look good enough that people want to
buy it so I'm going to flip the text to
White I'm going to hit T to open the
text tool
I've already got the Lionel font
selected because I you know prepped for
this video to make sure it looked good
for you guys and now I'm just going to
type in lucky and check that out I
actually think it looks like really good
now if we study how these guys have done
it they've got it overlaid on basically
where the pocket would be but what I'll
recommend is we can still export it here
um in a large size by the way I'm using
the you know old Amazon merch Dimensions
4500 by 5400 for the design space it's
not required either way I'll export it
from here and then I'll show you how we
can upload this to awkward Styles and
make this available for sale and we can
do it you know across the chest if we
want to or we can put it you know across
the pocket like we see here in this uh
listening so if we jump on over here to
awkward Styles this is just my test
account uh we go over here to product
catalog and what do we do we're talking
about women's clothing here that's how
we started we'll do sweatshirts
uh and then most likely you're going to
want to use the Gildan uh 18 000 I mean
personally I've I've got a couple of
these they're extremely comfortable
extremely soft and that's what a lot of
people on Etsy are selling because it's
most likely going to be the most
affordable option it's also like a
well-respected trusted brand so Gildan
18000 is the first one up there in the
top left corner I'm gonna click that
they've also got a nice uh Kelly Green
right there so now we can scroll down
here to the bottom I'm going to select I
said Kelly Green let's just be accurate
and say Irish green all right we've got
that right there and then I'm just going
to upload the design then go ahead and
click it it'll add it to the mock-up now
you can make it bigger as big as you'd
like you can also make it smaller and
overlay it over the pocket like that
basically and you can hit preview if you
want to see how it's going to look when
it's all said and done you want the
pocket design boom they got you covered
now of course I do like to just remind
you that you're going to want to take
these images that look like what the
product will look like and then go and
do a little Wizardry to enhance chance
your primary thumbnail if you really
want to compete on some pretty basic
style designs on the St Patrick's Day
Niche you're going to want to compete
especially with
um not just a good you know quality
listing with good images but also on
price when you initially post the
listing and you just have a brand new
listing um having a competitive price
even if you're just breaking even is a
nice way of helping you increase your
odds of getting ranked in a very
competitive space all right we should be
able to acknowledge the fact that yes St
Patrick's Day everybody sees it coming
from a mile away so you got to figure
out what's going to make your listings
different but yeah guys if you use
awkward styles for fulfillment it's only
going to cost you 12 dollars and 10
cents to have your Gildan 18 000
sweatshirt fulfilled that leaves you a
nice buffer for profit especially after
you've made a few sales if you want to
increase the price to maybe 29.99 then
you've really got some room for running
ads maybe which will help you further
improve your ranking
um that's by the way that price point is
with awkward Styles Pro if you join
awkward Styles and you use code Ryan
Hogue which I'll put in the description
they'll give you two months of pro for
free so you get the best fulfillment
prices out there that's it guys that's
all I wanted to cover I hope you found
this video helpful let me know if you
have ideas or requests for future videos
something along these lines I'm
definitely not the best designer out
there but I can figure out how to do
most of the you know popular stuff that
we see a lot of these shops doing so
anyways thanks for watching guys please

I'll link everything in the description
