In this video, we're going to look at a new secret method where you can
get prints just like this one done right here, and then go on to make
money just like this guy right here with over 3500 sales or $20 each,
where you will not have to be doing the printing or packaging yourself,
you won't need an audience to sell to. And you won't even have to make
the photos yourself either. So this method is going to be fairly
straightforward, but we do the research first to find out what
products what types of photos, what prints are selling. And then we're
going to actually get the photos for free, make them look really good,
and then get them printed on another website. Then when we have the
prince, we're going to sell them on another site. And if you stick
around long enough, I'll tell you about a bonus and additional means
of getting traffic to your store, as well as another way that you can
make money with selling photos, the site you're going to head over to is
etsy.com. Understand the process of figuring out what photos are
selling. Not only this can be done with photos, but it can also be done
with paintings as well. Now we're going to look for something like
sunsets, sunset framed prints,
these are selling as you can see this, this guy has over 448 reviews,
or $20 each other in the majority of times, not everybody who purchases
something would leave a review. So it's probably double this amount,
probably almost 1000 seals 1000 times and $19 is that's roughly
$19,000. So for the sake of this experiment, we're just going to use
sunset frame prints. Now that we know we're going to be using sunset
frame prints now we have to find pictures of sunsets. Now I know
you're probably wondering that how you're going to use photos for free
and sell them, they're usually a lot of issues with commercial licensing
and getting sued for using people's photos. And this is not going to be
using stock photography, either. What we're going to be using are
photos that are in the public domain, which means that you can use
these photos, you can modify them, and you can also sell them legally.
And we're going to use one website here to get those photos, we're
gonna head over to a site called raw pixel.com, where there are a lot of
free photos, but what you're going to do is hit the public domain
because that is the type of photos you would like to sell us, we want
to make sure that it is in the public domain. And as you can see
right here, there's a little explanation on exactly what that
means, clearly states here that they're making these pictures
available to you to use as you like with a Creative Commons license. And
only click the creative combinations, you can see that
there's no copyright here. You can modify, distribute, and perform the
work even for commercial purposes, all without even asking permission.
So that is a type of photos that we want to get thrown around to make
sure we finding a sunset in the public domain. So just search for a
sunset, or this is cool. And this one looks nice. So we're just going
to click that. And you can see right up here that this one is in the
public domain. So you're going to want to just hit the free download
button, quickly register for free and get and get this image on your
computer, you may be prompted to register one of their premium
accounts. But you don't need that to do this method, you just hit next or
skip. So once you download the image just like this, you then head over
to a site called pixilla with his step, which is step to be xlr.com.
Or you open the image that you just downloaded right here to full HD hit
apply, and the site is really cool, you don't have to register, nothing
like that, you just head over to pixlr.com and you can just start
editing the photo. But you don't want to what we're gonna do is make
it look better. But don't worry, you're not going to be doing any
editing, you're just going to hit one button here. After all two
buttons. After you choose adjustment, you just use the auto
pop. And the next thing you'll want to do is head over to filter by then
detail and just hit sharpen. You can there's a little preview in the back
here, you can just you can simply just read it a little bit, you want
to go all the way there because I would ruin the photo so it is not
carried up a little bit. And then hit Apply. There's not much to do
here. This is an important step because we're going to be using this
image as well to showcase the photo the photo print that we have for
sale over on Etsy. So once we are done, you just hit file, and export
image as PNG, save it. And now for step three, you're going to head
over to a site called printful. On printful is where you can create and
sell custom products online. So how printful works is you have your
online store in our case it will be Etsy where we will have the photos
for sale. When somebody places an order printful would then fill that
order by printing it and shipping it to the customer. In this case they
will be shipping it to Etsy and then Etsy will be shipping to the
customer on the home pages hit products head down to a home and
living. And you can see here there there's wall arts posters, framed
posters, Canvas prints, so you can choose any one of those options. And
just to be clear, when you hit integrations on the online
marketplaces, you'll see Etsy where there will be all of the
instructions as to what you need to do to connect this to your Etsy
store by simply hitting The next Etsy store. So of course, sign up
for a free account to get started. And for the next step now is where
you head over to your Etsy store, you register and create an account
for free. I'll just log into mine here, you choose to create a shop.
And when you go into your shop manager, you want to add a listing
photos, the first thing that somebody would see when they're
browsing, and that's why we wanted to make sure that that looked really
nice. So here's the photo that we retouched to make that make it look
really good. Because of course, this is the first thing that somebody
would see when they when they're browsing to buy something, the
mirante some challenges here as it relates to dimensions on the photos,
what do you need to worry about that you can just come here and just
click crop photo to exactly what they would like it to be,
I want you to done with that. You just hit save and move on. If you
didn't get a slideshow done easily for free on a site like Canva. I'll
be really cool to upload here because videos usually push a
product a lot, just as much or maybe more than photos. So once you make
sure that printful is is integrated with Etsy, you have to have a new
listing, which would be that photo that we just refined and made it
look really good for print. This brings us to the next step, which is
getting traffic to the store because that is how you're going to make
sales. And there's several ways we could look at this, you could look
at paid advertising, or you could look at organic means through social
media accounts, whether it's tik tok, YouTube, Facebook, but we're
going to keep things simple by just using etsy.com. So you have to keep
in mind that the more money you make is the more money that Etsy mix. So
these profiles here are promoted by Etsy because they're making sales
and when they make sales at sea, make sales as well. And even as a
new seller on Etsy, you could make sales however, you have to put some
things in place to build that trust for Etsy to actually promote your
product. And in order to do that customers need to buy and leave
reviews. But before they actually take a purchase on a new seller, you
need to get their attention and you're going to get their attention
by having a captivating thumbnail something to click the title has to
be something that they're searching for. And you can't compete with
broad terms like just sunset, because they may have a lot of
people already having sunset photos. So you want to be a little bit more
specific. And you want to have your your product being in a little bit
lower competition. So for example, you want to type sunset, not just
sunset, but Sunset over something Lake river, a mountain. Let's see
what shows up. Because this will show up what people is searching for
Sunset over mountains. So you can see Sunset over mountains shows up
here and there is less competition, but there's still a lot of seals.
But this way you want a smaller pool of competition where you can rank
higher. And as you build trust with customers that Etsy, Etsy will rank
your products higher in the search engine. And then you may be able to
eventually rank for higher, more broad things like just sunsets. So
we're going to leverage on the Etsy algorithm to get those first initial
sales by making sure that we have a captivating thumbnail title, you can
even add a video in your listing here to make sure that you you're a
step above the rest. And that can easily be done in an app like Canva,
where you can just drop in a few images and create a slideshow. You
don't have to worry about how you're going to come up with the
information as it relates to your listings because in the listing
details and see pretty much guide you here. So right before I head
into the bonus, let's just do a quick recap of the steps so far. So
step one is where you search on Etsy for a print that is selling. Once
you find something that you want to proceed with, you then head over to
raw pixel.com in step two, where you hit public domain, and search for
the type of image that you will want to download. And then in Step three,
you head over to pixlr.com p IX, l are calm, you hit File, Open image,
and you simply just hit adjustment and hit adjustment auto pop, or to
adjust head over to filter in details. And then you can click
sharpen. And then in step four, you head over to printful.com where you
get the products printed for you and shipped to Etsy. In Step five, you
head over to etsy.com and optimize your new listing your new photoprint
that you're going to be selling on this site. And you're using Etsy
traffic to get to that new product, you're not going to use any other
traffic source, and then optimize that listing by putting in the right
photos or maybe a video and all of the information here that you need
in order to rank even as a brand new seller. Okay, so you've waited long
enough for this bonus. So once you set up this system and you start
making sales, you may want to eventually start scaling that. And
you can do that by a form of paid advertising right here on Etsy. Or
you can try a different type of product like 3d designs, which
people are making a lot of money from when I made a video about it
right here where you can take everything that you learned in this
video, and take those tips in that other video and merge the two ideas
together for the best success. So I'll see you Over there.
