hey what's up guys today i want to show
you a website that somebody shared in my
print on demand facebook group
so this website lets us generate product
mock-ups for free we can upload our
print-on-demand designs
and they'll mock them up on a bunch of
different models different color
shirts etc it's something that you
should know about because hey
like i said 100 free plus you can use
these mock-ups to enhance your product
listings on any website where you can
customize
the images for instance uh etsy lets us
upload custom images as our primary
thumbnail on amazon we have to have that
white background so we're
uh we have a lot less choice on amazon
but for etsy we can
get creative so i'm going to show you a
couple ways i would use these including
like i just described
you can use these as additional images
on your product listings and you can use
these on
ads if you decide to run ads like
facebook ads or something so anyways why
don't we get started
[Music]
real quick i just wanted to remind you i
run a weekly print-on-demand giveaway

like 10 seconds

you can find a link in the description
this week sponsored by merch titans

tools
all sunsets premium pre-made sunset
graphics for your designs and bubble
scout the only redbubble niche research
and validation tool
alright so the website we're going to be
using today
is called mockup mark i'll put a link in
the description and you don't even need
to sign up for an account you literally
just click the link
and you can either upload your own
designs or you can use their pre-made
designs just to demo how the mock-up
generators
work it couldn't be easier i actually
really like the website
so on the free mock-ups category which
is at the top of the list
the first thing you'll notice is behind
me they have some pre-made example
designs they have a cat getting sucked
up into a flying saucer
they have a surfing summer 2020 design
they've got a
cool like skull vintage skull a mountain
design and some fruits alright so i went
ahead i clicked the skull design
after you click a design it'll start to
load and generate a preview
that's what you see here behind me after
about i don't know three four
five seconds you should see them load in
and it'll look something like this
so again i'm using one of their example
designs but earlier i also
experimented with some of my own demo
designs and
i can confirm that it works great now i
didn't see the ability in the free
mock-ups
to change the color of the shirts that
they're being mocked up on which is some
functionality that
i believe like some of their competitors
have like place it um that being said
this is free so no complaints right
so you can see here they've got like
some girls some guys
various ethnicities various angles
various
outfits being worn some of them are
zoomed out
some are zoomed in the one right here
behind me as i fail at the green screen
point yet again right here
uh is mocked up on a hanger so there's a
lot of options here i took a picture of
all them we'll just scroll through
really quickly so that you know what's
out there
um they got a guy wearing sunglasses on
a black shirt with tattoos
another guy with tattoos kind of leaning
back somebody at a beach
um they got a girl with like her shirt
rolled up in a ball
um yeah just lots of different scenarios
here some outdoor some indoor
some cool backgrounds that kind of pop
like i like the one right here behind
where i'm pointing
actually at an angle here the one with
the green background uh the green
background with the leaves i think might
pop because it's like a
i don't know it just seems like there's
good color contrast on there
and whenever i'm like trying to get a
click in search results on my listing
and not the competitors
i typically like to try to do something
that catches the eye of the viewer the
only thing i don't like about that one
is that the design is cut off
you know he's got his arms crossed so
it's kind of covering up the design
um what else you know more beach beach
photos
you got an older guy staring directly at
the camera making eye contact i think
those convert pretty well
um the only thing is again the design is
cut off of the bottom
uh pablo's here he says hello oh yeah
and don't forget there's also a second
page of designs
uh in the free mock-ups so make sure you
check out the second page here um got
some more
models and i think it shuffles around
the order that they're generated in so
this isn't like the
the order um if you're just watching the
video like when you do when you run your
own
tests or generate your own mock-ups
you'll see it kind of shuffled around
and i'll give you some feedback on some
of these the ones i like the ones i
don't like as much as well as how i may
edit some of these
and use them in thumbnails in a second
um you can see they even have uh
the brands themselves so this is if you
pay to upgrade i'm just looking at the
sidebar there
what i'm really showing in this video is
the free mock-ups but like if you end up
paying for a subscription
they've got t-shirt sweatshirt long
sleeve hoodie tank top lifestyle
mock-ups e-commerce mock-ups
they even have like specific branded
shirts like the bella canvas
anvil gildan and american apparel
all right so as far as colors um there's
four colors that i noticed
here are the three that i would
recommend if you wanted to
look for specific colors you got the
heather gray on the left you got the
there may actually be five i don't know
you can use your um you can determine
that on your own but like
it looks like there was a white and
there was a cream but here we have the
heather gray there's a black in the
middle
and then white behind me it looks like
there may have been a cream version of
the shirt and there's definitely a girl
wearing a blue shirt
but it's like super the design is like
super cut off so i don't think it's
going to convert well
they have some flat mock-ups here you
see the current
three flat mock-ups that they've got
if i had to choose one i'd probably roll
with the one
all the way on the left hand side and
i'd probably like
magic wand the background off and
zoom in a lot on the design and then
change the background color to something
like
electric pink something that pops you
know that
that the potential customer isn't going
to expect to see that's just me
personally
so this is one of the mock-ups that i
liked now it is a little hard to see the
design i would definitely zoom in but
one thing that i liked was that the
yellow background really caught my eye i
thought it popped
and when you are looking through the
mock-ups pretend you're the customer
this is actually a pretty good litmus
test
see what catches your eye because
ultimately that's what you're attempting
to do here
right when you're trying to convince
somebody to click your listing instead
of your competitors
so see what stands out that's really the
game
uh i like this one this free mock-up
because it's i think it's the only one i
saw that wasn't on a t-shirt it looks
like it's on either a long sleeve shirt
or a sweatshirt
and you can download this and upload it
to your etsy listing or again wherever
and you can say something like available
on additional products
that's always a great way of making
additional sales to customers who maybe
like the design but don't like the
product type that you've got it
currently listed on
these three i was not a huge fan of let
me hide myself because i realized i'm
overlaying on the third one there on the
right side
these three mock-ups the first one the
design is just kind of
really secondary to the mock-up itself
and it doesn't really shine at all like
i would never guess that was a t-shirt
mock-up
um the one in the middle and the one on
the right
they are good mock-ups but the design is
cut off in a major way like you you see
less than half the design on both of
them
so i would be careful with those i'm not
a big fan of these
now this one i thought maybe has some
potential uh it's a woman on like a
rooftop
and she's got her arm above her head and
it's a good like clean picture of the
design you can see the wrinkles in the
t-shirt so it looks very real
and here are my thoughts though if i was
going to use this and to generate
a primary thumbnail so what i might do
is
go to photoshop and then here i just
tried to illustrate to you guys
what percentage of the actual mock-up
that's generated
is relevant to what the consumer's
buying
um and it's it's less than half right so
i like to chop that down and make
if i'm selling a t-shirt with a design i
want the customer to see the t-shirt and
the design primarily
so you can see here in this mock-up
there's a lot of just extra stuff going
on that doesn't really
increase the odds of in my mind at least
of
making a sale so this is how i'd
probably crop
the mock-up so we went from this well
this and i'd crop it something like that
and this is for my primary thumbnail by
the way if it's not the primary
thumbnail
i am cool with just uploading it you
know straight up like you download it
from the mockup generator but if it's a
primary thumbnail i want it
zoomed in i want the design to shine and
i want it to be
still evident that it is being sold on a
t-shirt i think this checks all of those
boxes so i really like that
and i even went ahead and mocked it up
in etsy
uh using my web developer skills so this
isn't actually being sold on etsy
i just went and kind of hacked it in to
show you what it looks like
if it was used as a primary thumbnail on
etsy i think it looks pretty good
all right and that's all i really wanted
to show you in this video guys before
you leave i just want to remind you i
have a full
print on demand mini course completely
