hey what's up guys I wanted to dedicate
today's video to looking into if we can
make some money selling digital
portraits on Etsy and I'm going to show
you a way that we can all have them
created for us using AI pretty quick
pretty easy it's something I wanted you
to be aware of so let's get right to it
[Music]
all right so guys for most people the
barrier to entry of selling custom
digital portraits on a place like Etsy
is going to be how do we produce the
actual
um output like how do we produce a
quality image and I wanted to remind you
guys that creative Fabrica has this
relatively new tool that they call spark
okay spark creates AI generated images
on demand and I wanted to just show you
that I don't know if it's coincidence or
what but there is a whole bunch of these
like custom uh dog portraits where you
can include like the breed you can say
things like the style of the graphic you
can say wearing a Santa hat and it'll
output these images for you and a lot of
them are really actually impressive Now
is it going to be perfect like does this
mean you can go to Etsy and say hey send
me your photo and I'll convert it into a
digital picture for you a digital
portrait right I don't think it
necessarily means that right I don't
think it's I think it's kind of limited
in what it can do but that being said
like these limitations aren't that huge
you can continue to use the tool over
and over again until you get an output
that you like
um I did want to mention that there is a
app called cartoonize that I have
plugged in the past because I've been
using it for years and this would be
another method that you could use to
create these custom digital portraits
and again you can sell them as digital
downloads when you say portrait which by
the way I mean if you go to Etsy and you
type in like custom portrait digital
portrait Etc there's plenty of these the
vast majority especially if you include
the keyword digital are going to be sent
as digital downloads so when you see
them looking like they're already
finished products that will show up at
your door that doesn't necessarily mean
that that's the how you're going to
deliver them to the customer okay
because I know the the digital aspect or
the aspect of selling digital products
on Etsy is something that a lot of
people are attracted to because it's a
low barrier of Entry because you don't
really have to front the money I know
for some people they don't even want to
do print on demand because they don't
want to they don't want to pay a
production partner to produce the
product and ship it to the customer even
though you've already locked in your
profits and I mean I kind of get it um
I've seen it often enough that I know
that there's a handful of people out
there that are like that so digital may
be something they're into but you know
you might have to Fork up a little bit
of money for something like creative
Fabrica spark okay which I believe is
just included with your subscription to
creative Fabrica which if you guys
weren't aware I know a ton of you guys
signed up but right now it's like 83 off
as a part of their Black Friday Cyber
Monday deal so you can lock that in and
then they also just emailed me today and
said that they're selling credits that
they call speed credits for their spark
tool and what this does is essentially
if you use the spark tool your request
for the AI generated images goes into a
queue
and it'll eventually get processed if
you use the speed credits it will jump
you to the front of the queue so it's
going to be nearly instantaneous so
you're getting these on demand guys and
I mean just let's just scroll through
these for a second and check out the
quality of some of these uh Graphics
they really are impressive I mean you
could do quite a bit with this I mean
and again like when you say like you can
sell custom digital portraits you can
keep using the spark tool until you get
an output that your customer
um is essentially what your customer
wants I mean it kind of is open-ended
right on Etsy you can talk to the
customer you can do buy or seller
messaging you don't have to do that the
bigger your shop gets the less you're
going to probably want to do that but if
you're just getting started offering
customizations is a great way of gaining
an edge over your competition so it's
something you should consider and I mean
just look at the quality of the outputs
here in Creative Fabrica now they are
working on ways to enhance the
resolution of these images because right
now they are um not huge I believe it's
around like between 500 to 600 pixels
you know uh in width roughly so use your
imagination for the height if it's 500
pixels wide and it's a tall image maybe
the height is like 800 pixels I did also
want to tell you guys that there is this
topaz AI that specializes in enhancing
the quality of low resolution photos so
if you have a low resolution photo you
need to blow up topaz AI can make it
crisp all right so there's these AI
tools are getting absolutely crazy
um you can use them on things like
mountain ranges here uh it's absolutely
crazy guys um this animal right here is
it gonna let me preview that yeah look
at that
so low quality high quality I hope this
translates in the video I also wanted to
mention that I've used cartoonize in the
past for the exact same purpose I don't
know what it is with the cartoonize app
because it doesn't claim to have any AI
that makes it um sharper resolution
but for whatever reason when I've run it
through the cartoonize tool it's
smoothed out low resolution and allowed
me to blow up images and make them look
like they should be at that higher
resolution when they their native
resolution may have been you know a
fourth of the size so I'll link to these
in the description in case you guys want
to check them out but what I really want
to tell you guys is that number one the
creative Fabrica deal is a great great
deal one of the best values this uh
Black Friday Cyber Monday for print on
demand sellers the spark tool is just
one of a few different tools that I
really like that they have the other one
I'll do a quick shout out I'm also a big
fan of creative fabrica's shape Cloud
generator so this allows you to provide
a cloud of words you can do custom text
you can change the shape you can change
the color scheme it's completely
customizable and it's a great way of
creating unique uh designs that can fit
really any theme that you would like
using creative Fabrica it only takes a
couple seconds if not a minute to create
these designs one after the next and on
Etsy here I just wanted to quickly
breathe uh briefly shout out like
Insight Factory I love them for just a
nice easy solution for getting sales
projections for any product or Niche on
Etsy
as you can see here I looked up Custom
Pet portrait digital download and you
can see some of these listings of course
you know the first one has to be ripping
off Disney I don't know why so many
people rip off Disney on Etsy but a ton
of people do making about three sales a
day this one the pet one is doing
roughly this is Seven Day sales so 370
what is that like it's got to be 50
sales a day I think roughly a little bit
more than 50 sales a day so they're
killing it this one right here doing
probably six sales a day all right so
not all these are doing sales if it's
like a new listing guys it's just like
any other e-commerce platform you're
gonna need to make sales you're gonna
have to have customers typing in
relevant keywords clicking you and
purchasing from you and that's going to
help train the Etsy algorithm to rank
you higher on these things if you don't
get overnight instant success my
recommendation would be don't give up if
you're gonna give up at least have
something better to replace it don't
just go and watch television right like
do do something
um
like not getting instant success and
giving up is definitely not the right
way to approach this and ideally we
would have been grinding and really
setting ourselves up to right now be
benefiting from the hard work we put in
all year not just getting started right
now but hey the best time to start is
yesterday unless you have a time machine
then the next best time to start is
right now so I just wanted to shout this
out guys
um this is clearly doing quite well on
Etsy and this is probably a trend that's
going to continue to grow we know Etsy
is a popular destination for custom uh
both digital and physical products and
often you can bridge the gap there you
can offer a digital download from
something that maybe you generated in
Creative fabrica's uh spark AI tool but
you can also tie that you know it might
be a little bit of manual effort
involved but there could be a manual
component tied to it where you also
offer a physical product delivery that
you could fulfill through printful or
printify or you know whatever production
partner you are a fan of guys so that's
what I really wanted to plug today on my
way out I want to remind you guys that
in the description I've got my my free 8
day print on demand mini course you can
take advantage of that I've got my print
on demand Facebook group I'd love to
have you there if you're not already a
member and my full print on demand
course is 20 off for Black Friday Cyber
Monday so that's the maximum discounts
the best deal you are going to get on
that it's all Linked In the description
guys as well as a link to creative
Fabrica thanks for watching guys enjoy
the rest of your day I'll see you
tomorrow with a new one
