In this video, I'm going to show you a secret method and how you can
almost automatically create paintings like this one. And this
one for free with the earning potential of this guy that has over
1600 sales at $132 per painting, that works out to be, well, a lot of
money. The exact steps we're going to take in this video is finding
paintings prints that sell, get paintings and then enhance it,
you're not actually going to paint anything, have them printed and
ready to hang on a wall. And then finally, use an untapped traffic
source for this to send people to your store who are ready to buy. And
if you can figure out that blue dot secret traffic shows that I'm
talking about, let me know in the comments down below. If you haven't
figured it out as yet, the store that we're going to be creating is
on Etsy. And the paintings on the canvas here really do sell. And if
you're somebody who might be thinking that the reason these
people are getting all of these seals is from paid traffic. What I
mean by that is somebody's spending money on Pinterest ads, Instagram
ads, or even ads right here on Etsy to get their store in front of
buyers. And the truth is, some of these sellers probably do that. But
a lot of them don't which they use free traffic, which I'm about to
show you well, not right now a little bit later in the video, let's
focus on the store first. But the point I'm making is regardless of
whether it's paid or organic traffic, this social proof right
here of having over 95 reviews, five stars would help in getting
somebody's attention other than the thumbnail here. And overtime of
getting enough sales, you would actually rank higher in the search
results for whichever product the keywords that you're trying to rank
for. Now, as I said, the first thing that we're going to do is to find
prints that are actually selling these paintings are the two things
that I'll be keeping in mind when I'm looking at the results here,
types of paintings that show up multiple times like this one and
this one, as well as what will be easy that to find photos of and
based on these top 16 photos here, what I found at least four to six
have a pictures of flowers of roses. So that's it, I've decided that
we're going to look for paintings of flowers or roses. And I did say that
you don't have to be a painter or have any experience with painting.
Because what we're going to do is get paintings that are in the public
domain emulations that comes along with it gives you the right to use
it however you like. Which means you can also sell it on products
products like the canvas that we were just looking at on Etsy. And to
get access to the rest of the video, you just have to hit the like
button. And as soon as you do that the rest of the video will just
automatically start to load. Awesome the site called Raw pixel.com, where
you have access to over 1 million free creative resources. But the way
you really want to go is up here to public domain and take Nora to where
it says here the world's best collection of public domain art and
design resources. We are making these available to you to use as you
like with a Creative Commons license. And the Creative Commons
license on creativecommons.org makes it clear that the person associated
with this work has dedicated the work that painting to the public
domain by weaving all of his or her rights to the work worldwide under
copyright law. And to be explicitly clear, you can copy, modify,
distribute and perform the work even for commercial purposes, all without
asking permission. And that's everything that you can find under
this tab. That's all of these things. So search the public domain
for flower eating. Let's see what we find. Okay, well, that's it without
too much searching. I like this one, let's just go with this one, very
fine. The right hand side here that it is in the public domain. It's a
free Creative Commons image. You can even hit here to view the license
and it leads us back to the same page. So it good to go with this
photo. No, you don't have to go with this one, you can choose some of the
other photos. But I think this one looks fine. So let's hit free
download quickly provide basic information sign up, or what I like
to do is just hit sign up with Google, just pressing one button is
much easier. Once you log back in hit download. And just like that I
have access to this high quality painting that I can sell for free.
The next thing you want to do is retouch this photo to make it look a
little bit better by popping the colors making it brighter, showing
some more detail in the flowers. And you're definitely not going to use
something like Photoshop for this as a matter of fact, you're not even
going to be editing it, you are going to just use one button to do
it automatically. That's because it's always easier to just click one
button, just like the subscribe button. Actually, that's two buttons
because there's a notification bell. So once you got that done, let me
show you how to click that other button to edit the painting
automatically. What I'm using is a site called canva.com. Once you read
the show the link that I will provide you with shortly just hit
Login after head over to create a design. But instead of choosing a
template, you want to come down to edit photo. Okay, the painting that
you just downloaded from raw pixel, choose to open it here. There it is,
yes, we want to edit his photo. Now check this out. As soon as the
painting has been uploaded to Canva, click it go to Edit Image and then
come down to auto enhance like that. And just like that
the photo has been enhanced. If you want to increase the intensity on
the enhancement, you can just click this and drag it up and see what it
looked like before you can hit your original so this is before and this
is after before after and when you're done, hit apply. In case
you're wondering What this program just did you see all of these
options over here, what kinda went ahead and did for us with this photo
is the analyzed it, and then automatically applied to different
controls that was best suited to enhancing this photo, you can go
ahead and make the adjustments if you want, but I'm good with this. So
if you wanted to try out Canva, I have a link in the description below
where you can get a 30 day free trial with all of these features. So
check that out. Now go ahead and download this image by going up to
here hitting this button, choosing the download, we can even carry up
the size, but we'll just stick with these dimensions come down and hit
download. And in just a few seconds, this enhanced painting is ready to
download enhanced floor. Yeah, my naming convention is not the best
now that you've reached this far. The next thing on the list is to
print that painting on a canvas for free and have it shipped to our
store without header was it prenta phi.com, we're hoping to phi is
going to look is that you'll have to pick the product that we're going to
use. What we're going to use is a canvas print that somebody could
have up on their wall. Well, if you choose that, we're then going to
customize it by uploading our painting onto the canvas, have a
look at what it looks like. then integrate it and have it shipped to
our Etsy store. So head back up to the top and hit start selling sign
up. And you're not here to spend money. You're here to make money. So
hit I'm here to sell products online. Would you describe to you
well, the artists, you just artistically enhanced that painting.
So you're an artist, right? Yeah, feels that you're looking to start
selling on that hit Next we want to design or first product. And I
believe you'll be able to find that in home and living as canvas. Now
you could have selected to print out a poster but but for this example, I
want to see how to do this on a wood canvas where it looks like this on
some of these wall except with a better painting. So hit start
designing ready to start creating Shoya it audio designed. Now you're
gonna find that enhance painting that you downloaded from Canva is a
good thing. I named it enhance flow. So I know it's that one. All right,
let's see how it looks. Now I should have looked at the dimensions of the
photo before but Well, in this case, I'll just fill it in the frame and
crop it a little bit just like this. I think that'll work. And what's
cool with printify is you can see what it looks like on a canvas on
some of these wall. Check this out. Yeah, it's mixing paint. Oh, cool.
Is that alright, so I'm gonna do this, I'm going to hit Save product.
And I'm already getting a notification up here looking to
connect your store. Why yes, we are. So that takes us on to the next
step. We're going to create the Etsy store now and integrate it with
printify, head over to etsy.com and scroll down to the bottom of the
page and look for sell on Etsy, click that get started provided
email address and then hit Continue. And after you sign in, scroll down
and hit open your Etsy shop on the left main menu, go down to listings,
and then go all the way up here and hit add on listing. And obviously
the first thing that you want to add here is the first thing that
somebody sees for to the thumbnail, so pick that enhance floor. The
other really important thing that you need to focus on is your title,
include keywords that buyers will use to search for your item. And to
find that I will just start searching in the buy here, flower,
P, these are all terms that people are actually searching for on Etsy.
And what we want is that when somebody searches for flower
painting, eventually, our product shows up in the full set of results
here, but you don't need to worry about that as yet. Because we're not
looking to rank in search for a brand new store. Because that'll be
a little bit difficult, we are going to generate our own traffic. And
right before I show you that, let's quickly integrate printify with our
Etsy store. So back on printer find.com. Remember this notification
bell. Let's explore that by hitting this drop down here and then hitting
manage my stores and met. And there's Etsy over on etsy.com, I
immediately got this notification saying that an application would
like to connect with my account. And it shows the email address that I
signed up with just now on prenta phi. So you can go ahead and quickly
read this and then hit allow access to integrate the two stores. That's
all you need to do. You can go ahead and customize it details a little
bit more. But essentially the purpose of printify here is to get
these beautiful painting prints on this canvas
when somebody orders it from over at your Etsy shop. And now for the
moment that you've been waiting for this secret traffic source. Well,
it's not so secret, but it is underutilized for traffic source to
an Etsy shop. What I'm talking about is YouTube shorts. And to be really
specific of an example it's time lapse videos of paintings just like
these, we're going to recreate a no we're never going to download these
exact videos, upload it as our own. We're gonna do this all legal and
free. Pretty much what a video like this is about is somebody speeding
up the process of painting a flower in this case from beginning to
ending speeding it up so that it's under 60 seconds to be a YouTube
short. I'm just playing some music in the background that you could
also download for free. And so the concept here is that if somebody
looks at a video like this, at the end of it, it's somebody that
appreciates art. So you can have a little bar going across right here
that says something like link in description for beautiful painting
like this one. And when somebody clicks these three arrows here hits
the description, you'd have the link to your Etsy store here. And when
they click it, it means that they came over there with some buyer
intent, and there's a higher chance here that they would actually make a
purchase versus just stumbling upon your store. Now, because you stayed
this long in the video, I'm going to show you the quick method to put
together a video like this one search on YouTube for flower
painting. And while there are some nice examples here to use that we
that will be very helpful for time lapse, some of these creators may
not have given us the permission to use their videos. So to get access
to the creators who allow us to use the videos, hit filters, and then
hit Creative Commons. Now these videos we can use, remember, you're
not limited to search for flower paintings. But let's say you were
using this, this one got a lot of views. So there must be some reason
why people like this, this one actually is a great example. So let
me just quickly scan through this entire clip and see if this is
something that we could use. And it looks good. So now that we've
decided that we're going to use this video, copy the URL, and over to the
side called y to meet that is then paste the URL right here, it start
now we want this to be 10 ATP. So hit convert, then download it to
your PC, not edit the video for free. I like to use this video
editor called open shot, which is really straightforward to use. So
just head to open shot.org and hit download and grab the version that's
applicable to your operating system download. Once you've installed it
and open it up, this is what it looks like drag and drop the video
that you just downloaded onto the timeline. Now remember, this video
is very long, all the way up to 51 minutes. And we need to get that
down to under 60 seconds. So to do that, just right click time, fast
forward 60. Next of that's a lot fits under four minutes, but it's
still not under one minute to just repeat that again. And maybe this
time four times. And from checking here. Now it's just 50 seconds which
just meets the requirements of a YouTube shot. But we're not done
yet. Let's get the music for free now search in Google for YouTube
audio library sign into your YouTube account if you haven't done so
already. And here you go. All of these tracks you could use for free
you can just hit play to sample to see what it sounds like. Let's see
found that one was suitable you just head over to download i In case
you're not sure if you can use all of this audio royalty free. The
license type is states here that you're free to use this audio track
in any of your videos, no attribution is required. So now
let's plays that song. Just download it onto the timeline, pull it
across. And the last thing is actually one of the most important
things for the video that I forgot to do. And that is to make sure that
the profile is set for YouTube short. So come up here to choose
profile and select HD vertical TCP and hit close. Now you want to go on
any of the corners here, hold on CTRL on your keyboard and click and
drag this to maintain the dimensions but increase the size a little bit
bigger. And let's check out the video. Now. Once you're pleased with
the video, come up to file, hit export project and export video. And
this is what the YouTube short looks like so far. So be sure to upload
that new video to YouTube. And most importantly, copy the link to your
Etsy product. If you want you can use a link shortener like bitly.com
and paste that long URL right here it created to make it a much shorter
link. And of course paste that new shortened link in your description
of the video that you just created and uploaded. So at this point, it's
just a matter of repeating the process not of creating these
different products. But mainly the process of making more YouTube shots
to drive more traffic towards your Etsy store which would increase the
chances of you making your first sale know if you like this method,
but you want to do something a little bit different not
particularly floor paintings, but maybe T shirts, then you're going to
want to check out this video. Next we'll look at a method where you can
create those T shirts for free on one website, not Etsy create unique
designs by having no experience and then drive the traffic to that store
with YouTube shirts but in a different way that you probably
didn't think about this yet. So check that out next
