what's up guys Ryan here so I've got
some family friends celebrating a 60th
birthday soon they're having like a
joint birthday party of husband and wife
so we're gonna make two mugs for them
and I'm gonna do the design right now
and then I'm gonna show you how we can
use printful x' sample orders which they
give you a certain amount of sample
orders each month meaning they reset
monthly and they give you 20% off plus
free shipping so there's no reason not
to use them especially when it's
gift-giving season like everybody loves
custom personalized gifts this is the
perfect chance to make your friends
family loved ones t-shirts mugs anything
else I mean principles got such a wide
catalog and also I mean if you guys are
geared bubble users you can do the same
thing in gear bubble as well however
your bubbles gonna charge you for 95 for
the 11 ounce mug and they're gonna
charge you for 95 for shipping so the
it's honestly cheaper - yeah for 95 for
95 so it's honestly cheaper to use
printful and use the sample orders cuz
it'll bring the 795 11 ounce white mug
price down to 6 bucks and then shipping
should be free alright so I'm gonna show
you how to do the ordering in a second
but first let's find some funny mugs and
then create some simple simple ish
designs alright and then by the way when
you're looking like I looked at Google
Images first I didn't really like these
there's so many ways to find funny mugs
so you go to google red bubble Amazon
eBay Etsy etc so let's do one from
Amazon so look at the you know there's
obviously sponsored product placements
and whatnot but if you want to know
what's really selling well and it also
mean obviously it's a favored older
products but the products with the most
reviews indicate what's really selling
best so this mug it's the organic rank 1
so it is selling well but also it's got
27 reviews so it's clearly doing okay
alright and honestly like I had already
looked and I was liking this one right
here I'm only six decades old so real
quick before we do any design whether
it's for t-shirts mugs anything else go
to TM search uspto.gov
and I'm only six
six decades old make sure that it's not
trademarked so we're good to go here
trust me there's nothing worth worse
than creating a design and then doing
the trademark check after and realizing
that it's trademarked and you have to
delete it anyways so I've got my
Photoshop template go to design template
open normally I'm designing for
dark-colored t-shirts but in this case
we're gonna use white mugs so I'm gonna
switch the background there and I'm
gonna come up with a similar design to
this one I think it looks pretty good
I'm also going to kind of optimize for
speed here so I'm not gonna sweat the
little things too much
I'm only it's a really thin font so I'm
gonna give it a stroke and stretch out
so you can go into the character pane in
Photoshop and I'm gonna give it some
letter spacing which I believe is called
kerning and maybe make it next that's
fine it doesn't need to be like the
whole size of the canvas cuz it's only
gonna be a coffee mug well there's
nothing wrong with designing for
t-shirts and then scaling down four mugs
that's usually what I do that way you
get to offer your designs on as many
products and what products as possible
I'm only six alright let's get a big
bold font this looks good
get black
all right that looks pretty good
I'm only six and then we'll do the
decades old as well make the font much
smaller of course decades decades old
and make that smaller and definitely
less letter spacing there all right 220
seems all right see if we can just like
match it up to about the same size there
we go that looks good that's centered
all right and then I guess last but not
least we can do these little lines so
I'm just gonna make a group and I'm just
gonna add a stroke later to each of
these could probably just duplicate
these as well and then flip them flip
horizontal yes I didn't do all of them
all right well scratch that I'll just
make three new ones on the other side
all right we'll add a stroke to
everything in that group maybe make it a
little bit thicker it looks pretty good
let me fix this bottom right one and
then make it more consistent okay yeah
all right
boom that didn't take too long at all
it's not like the best but it's
definitely good enough it'll look fine
when I put this on a mug so I'm going to
merge these layers create a new file PNG
and on only six decades old boom one
design down let's get one more let's go
to Etsy maybe and funny 60th birthday
mug probably gonna see some similar
results oh this one's pretty funny just
like crossing out the crossing out the
the lines there makes sixty great again
six delicious making the world a better
place since 1959 I may be old but I got
to see all the cool bands I'm sixty
leaving the hill alone it took 60 years
to look this good there's some good ones
let's see what should we do don't you
spend too long on this part alright like
making the world a better place since
1959 that's not a bad one all right so
I'm gonna delete this and get going
again if you get like a thin font this
one looks good making the world a better
place how should I do this since yeah if
it works it works I trust them trust the
mug that's already selling well on Etsy
maybe add like a little bit of a stroke
to get a little bit thicker doesn't need
to be that much maybe like eight pick
oops like eight pixels should be alright
maybe a little bit less even maybe like
four cuz we did want a thin font for
this think a thin one we look better
making the world's I might reduce the
letter spacing here on the top road just
to make it not as wide so I think that
looks okay and then 1959 is that math
correct yep 1959 hmm next question
what's the best font to use can do like
60
don't want it to be wider than the top
so making the world a better place since
1959
looks pretty good we could introduce
some color here make it the same red so
that kind of matches the other mug I
don't think that looks too bad making
the world a better place since 1959
should be changed should we add anything
my goal was to do this quickly but we
could would it make sense to add any
like emojis or even like a globe like a
globe icon or something no no this is a
thing it's like it's been a long day the
creative the creative side of my brain
isn't working 100% right now I did like
how these guys had a little bit of like
a color scheme in there that I might
just borrow I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
steal their design I'm just gonna color
pick the colors and see if I like this
different like this more so i'ma do
placate the the red text and then in the
duplicate I'm going to color them in a
similar way
yeah this will probably look better I
suspected it would look kind of lazy
just to leave it like red or black huh
yeah how about that it looks pretty good
I'd say that looks a little bit better
myself so yeah we don't need to really
do anything else I think that's good
enough so I'm gonna grab this design and
export as PNG by the way guys this is
something I've talked about in my
courses but naming convention matters if
you're wondering why you should just
take me at my word but yeah people in my
courses know why it matters all right so
we've got those exported now I'm gonna
go to printful I already talked about
how if you go to gear bubble guys it's
for 95 so you're like how is for 95 not
cheaper than the 795 mug and printful
well your bubble makes money off their
sellers off shipping now this is
something I've been talking about on my
channel and I'm gonna do I might have to
do another video talking about it cuz it
was like I was first talking about it
when my channel is pretty small earlier
in the year but guys like with printful
you can charge people flat rate shipping
and then fulfill it using dynamic
shipping and you pocket the difference
as profit guess who else knows this gear
bubble and they do it to their sellers
unlike printful where they let their
sellers make the choice of what to do
with their customers your bubble sees
their sellers as you know opportunities
for them to make more money that's why
they charge their sellers flat rate
shipping and I'm not by the way for 95
shipping 4 mugs is not like it's not
like we're getting gouged here but I'm
assuming that your bubbles making money
off shipping because they always charge
flat rate so 4.95 plus 495 is what you'd
be paying each mug would be like 10
bucks through gear bubble I don't
actually know that we're gonna get free
shipping in printful because this is a
coffee mug now also I don't see free
shipping here I mean I could double
check on my main account real quick and
you know I'll do that before the video
is over and see if it says free shipping
because I'm not sure if because this
account is like kind of new and
and have sales history if that's
affecting whether or not we get the free
shipping all right so in order to get
here guys all I did was go to orders go
to new order and then go to sample order
and then add product new products I'm
just gonna type mode you can see they've
got some options glossy black magic mug
I think that's color-changing matte
black mug and then white glossy mug I'm
gonna hit that
alright upload the designs and then all
I have to do is click them and it'll
overlay it on the mug it's been a while
actually since I uploaded a mug to
printful but you want to drag it off to
one side and center it and then down
here click duplicate image on both sides
it may look weird right now but trust me
it'll make more sense well you can hit
mock-up view right here and see it or
you can just go to the next screen and
it'll do the mock-ups for you but as you
can see here you can kind of see what's
going on and how it's actually gonna
look when this is ordered printful i do
like that they give you these like
background mugs I think they help for
Etsy I think I've done a video talking
about this in the past about how if I
upload to Etsy I grab these extra
mock-ups and then I upload them to the
listings on Etsy as well alright so this
is good enough for me I think we just
have to go back to the product and hit
11-ounce
and continue alright
six dollars thirty-six cents let's see
I'm gonna add product real quick mug
same thing grab your file
it's repositioned we might want to make
this slightly smaller so it's not
bleeding in to the edge when we
duplicate mock-up view how's it look all
right I mean that looks pretty good I
don't think it looks bad at all
a little pineapple alright back to the
product tab hit 11-ounce continue
alright it's gonna be like 12 72 right
now alright now I just use the dummy
address here put in the headers for like
the White House in Washington DC and
then boom printful gives you free
shipping on even your sample orders of
coffee mugs which I know cost more
because there's the extra you know
shipping hazard where you don't want
them to break it's definitely not as
like shipping a t-shirt but how awesome
is that so they give you the ability to
create these free products and again
even with like a baseline free printful
account by the way free like your bubble
likes to charge their sellers to use the
integrations I know they have free plans
I hate when people I don't hate I mean
you guys can hit me up like I always say
like on facebook or email whatever
YouTube comments but I always try to
talk people there's so many people
mislead trying to like I should save
this for another video honestly I maybe
I will but like thinking that they're
gonna go start a gear bubble pro shop
and get rich I'm like guys you're not
gonna get any traffic like if you spent
I would say if you spend like two months
setting up the best gear bubble pro shop
ever no one's gonna see it no one's
gonna know it exists then you have to
spend another two months figuring out
how to run paid traffic to your site and
then you're gonna have to really monitor
those analytics carefully make sure
you're operating at a profit so don't be
that person
leverage the traffic on the big
ecommerce trusted brands Amazon Etsy
eBay dare I say start with the Amazon
start with Etsy anyways we don't need to
it's like I had nothing against your
bubble but like this is where I started
but like as soon as I found printful I
was like hold up like like these guys
aren't taking advantage of the sellers
maybe we should use them so yeah
printful printful is my recommended
print-on-demand production partner I've
said that before I'll say it again it's
for a good reason
also look you can add different sample
recipient addresses which is pretty cool
anyways guys that's it so all I have to
do if I want to receive these coffee
mugs is and I'll go back and I'll show
you them again that we just made if I
want to order these all I have to do and
I'm gonna do this soon as I end the
video I'm gonna put my real address in
and get them sent over here but $13
getting two awesome coffee mugs it did
not take us more than like 10 minutes to
research design create and print full
and order right or this video might come
to like 15 minutes in total but it
really wasn't a long process and I
definitely moved a little bit slower cuz
I was recording but anyways guys I hope
you enjoyed this video if you did do me
a favor hit that like button if you're
new here please consider subscribing if
you have any feedback hit me up below
and I'll get back to you always open it
real now at riots
