If you wanna make passive income
using Print On Demand sites,
but you're not an artist and don't have design skills,
this video is for you.
I'll show you five methods that you can use
to make attractive designs
that sell on sites like Redbubble and Merch by Amazon,
with minimal effort.
Number one is Placeit,
which used to be a site focused on creating
realistic mock-ups of your designs.
And it still is,
but they've adapted and now allow you to create designs
for free online.
There's a link in the description to this page,
the T-Shirt Designer,
or you can just click on "Designs",
then "T-Shirt Designs".
You don't need any design skills
because they create the templates for you.
Everything that you see here is free to use.
You can hover over an image to see alternative styles
of the same template.
And when you click one,
you'll be taken to the editor
so you can adjust anything that you want,
the colors, the text, or the placement.
You can even change the main image
using one of their defaults,
or upload your own.
When you done, make the background transparent
and download it.
You can then upload the finished design
straight to Print On Demand sites to sell for profit.
Or you can import your design
into one of their mock-up templates,
to use for marketing purposes.
They've got free mock-up images like this one,
as well as videos too.
You might have seen this woman before
because it's one of the only free videos,
so it gets used a lot.
If you're targeting a particular demographic
like women who love dogs,
just search for women with dogs,
or whatever your niche is,
and choose a suitable template for your design.
If you want to access all the design templates,
you can pay annually
and get it for $6.35 a month with a 15% discount,
or $12.70, if you decide to pay monthly.
If you don't have the money
you can just stick to the free features instead.
Next up, at number two is good old Canva.
I made a video years ago when Canva looked like this,
talking about how to adapt it for use with Print On Demand.
But now they've updated the site
and it's way more accessible.
They literally have a T-Shirt Designer now
which is full of free templates to choose from,
like this Halloween one.
You can edit and change anything you see here.
If you scroll down you can see other categories
as well as typography,
if you want text-based templates like this one.
Click the elements button on the left hand side,
and you can add your own from the popular category.
A really nice feature is being able to filter by color
which makes creating easier.
So you might type yellow, or red, or purple,
to see what's available to match the template
that you're using.
You can enter a keyword here too like "sunshine".
Everything's free to use,
unless it has a crown icon next to it
indicating that it's available in the Pro version.
You can sign up to Canva Pro for free,
for 30 days using the link in the description.
This allows you to access all the features
including transparent backgrounds,
so you can create designs ready for Print On Demand
without any extra effort.
Third on the list is Photopea,
which is the best free online version of Photoshop
in my opinion.
It's super easy to use,
and you can import Photoshop templates,
if you want to edit them for specific sites
like Merch by Amazon with this t-shirt template.
If you don't have the skills to create designs,
you can simply use the text feature to type.
There's a huge demand for text-based designs,
and anyone can make them in no time at all.
You can create and sell really simple designs
like this one just by typing.
Here it is on Amazon for $14.99
with the Best Sellers Rank of 1,884.
That means it's making about $1,000 a month
in profit right now.
You can use the huge variety of free fonts
that comes with Photopea,
or you can upload your own custom fonts
that make the text-based design stand out,
which is exactly what I did with this one.
See the description for more details about this
as well as in-depth tutorials that I've already made.
Fourth on the list is Merch Designer.
This used to be 100% free to use
but it's now a paid resource as part of Merch Informer,
but you can get a free trial that lasts for 3 days
if you wanna try it out.
The good thing about Merch Designer
is that it was made specifically for Print On Demand.
So it automatically sets the correct canvas size
based on the product that you creating for.
It's got some decent templates,
which are typical of the kind of designs
that sell well on Amazon,
and they release new graphics every month
that are available for commercial use.
When you've done, you can just click download,
and it gives you the transparent file,
ready to upload to Print On Demand sites.
The main selling point in my opinion
is that you also get access to Merch Informer
so you can see what's popular on Merch by Amazon.
That way you can make sure that you creating products
that are already in demand.
My fifth and final tip for people without design skills,
is to just outsource the process.
Get someone else to design for you.
You can find thousands of artists
on sites like Fiverr or Upwork,
and they'll create designs for you for as little as $4.
I always recommend uploading your own content first,
even if you think it's terrible.
You'd be surprised at how low the bar is to make a sale,
and you'll learn a lot in the process too.
It's entirely possible to make thousands of dollars
without any design skills,
and without investing any money.
But outsourcing speeds up the process
and takes your design ideas to the next level.
I've got several step by step tutorials
about how to outsource,
which I'll link in the description too.

I wish you all the best for your Print On Demand success.
See you soon.
