00:00:00 | 00:00:02 | in today's video we're going to tok |
00:00:01 | 00:00:04 | about etsy drop shipping and i'm going |
00:00:02 | 00:00:06 | to take you through an entire tutorial |
00:00:04 | 00:00:08 | of a to z how to get started from |
00:00:06 | 00:00:10 | finding good listings to actually put up |
00:00:08 | 00:00:12 | on etsy and then how to go about doing |
00:00:10 | 00:00:13 | that with a specific software okay i'm |
00:00:12 | 00:00:15 | also going to teach you a little bit |
00:00:13 | 00:00:16 | about graphic design so you can create |
00:00:15 | 00:00:18 | these listings yourself all within a |
00:00:16 | 00:00:20 | short time period we're not going to |
00:00:18 | 00:00:21 | draw this long tutorial out i'm very |
00:00:20 | 00:00:23 | bullish on this platform i think that |
00:00:21 | 00:00:25 | there's a lot of opportunity to be had |
00:00:23 | 00:00:27 | here and one of my main things that i |
00:00:25 | 00:00:29 | love about it is once you spend the time |
00:00:27 | 00:00:30 | to actually go through and create the |
00:00:29 | 00:00:32 | listings you might be slow in the |
00:00:30 | 00:00:33 | beginning it might take you a little bit |
00:00:32 | 00:00:34 | of time maybe like five minutes to |
00:00:33 | 00:00:36 | create a listing and actually put it up |
00:00:34 | 00:00:38 | on etsy which isn't that long and as you |
00:00:36 | 00:00:39 | do more and more you'll get a lot better |
00:00:38 | 00:00:41 | at it and they'll go a lot smoother and |
00:00:39 | 00:00:44 | a lot faster but once you create the |
00:00:41 | 00:00:45 | listings it's completely hands off okay |
00:00:44 | 00:00:47 | your listings are gonna sit there |
00:00:45 | 00:00:48 | they're gonna get you sales and |
00:00:47 | 00:00:50 | obviously you have to answer messages if |
00:00:48 | 00:00:51 | you get them here and there which seem |
00:00:50 | 00:00:53 | to be a little bit more rare on etsy as |
00:00:51 | 00:00:54 | compared to like a platform like |
00:00:53 | 00:00:56 | facebook marketplace for example but |
00:00:54 | 00:00:57 | then it's completely hands off the |
00:00:56 | 00:00:59 | company that we're gonna use is going to |
00:00:57 | 00:01:02 | take care of everything from the stok |
00:00:59 | 00:01:03 | monitoring processing your actual order |
00:01:02 | 00:01:05 | and shipping it to the customer they're |
00:01:03 | 00:01:07 | going to grab the actual order the |
00:01:05 | 00:01:09 | address from within your etsy account |
00:01:07 | 00:01:10 | ship it to the customer and then also |
00:01:09 | 00:01:12 | after that they're going to input the |
00:01:10 | 00:01:14 | tracking number their cells okay so |
00:01:12 | 00:01:16 | you're gonna connect all this stuff from |
00:01:14 | 00:01:18 | from the software to etsy and they're |
00:01:16 | 00:01:19 | gonna take care of everything for you |
00:01:18 | 00:01:22 | that's why i love it so without further |
00:01:19 | 00:01:24 | ado let me show you so there's two main |
00:01:22 | 00:01:26 | ways to actually drop ship on etsy one |
00:01:24 | 00:01:27 | is going to get you in trouble and |
00:01:26 | 00:01:29 | eventually going to get your account |
00:01:27 | 00:01:31 | suspended and the other one is a little |
00:01:29 | 00:01:32 | bit more difficult to set listings up |
00:01:31 | 00:01:34 | with in the beginning but is fully |
00:01:32 | 00:01:36 | compliant with the terms of service on |
00:01:34 | 00:01:38 | etsy and you can drop ship long term |
00:01:36 | 00:01:40 | what you're not allowed to do is take |
00:01:38 | 00:01:42 | listings from ebay for example or |
00:01:40 | 00:01:44 | listings from another website like that |
00:01:42 | 00:01:46 | and dropship to your customers what you |
00:01:44 | 00:01:48 | are allowed to do is create your own |
00:01:46 | 00:01:49 | print on demand products and it's |
00:01:48 | 00:01:50 | actually easier than you think i'm going |
00:01:49 | 00:01:52 | to show you how to do that in this |
00:01:50 | 00:01:54 | tutorial here and then use a website |
00:01:52 | 00:01:56 | like printful to actually drop ship |
00:01:54 | 00:01:58 | those products to your customers because |
00:01:56 | 00:01:59 | on etsy you're allowed to drop ship but |
00:01:58 | 00:02:01 | it has to be either vintage or handmade |
00:01:59 | 00:02:03 | and so the print on demand falls into |
00:02:01 | 00:02:05 | the handmade category you're allowed to |
00:02:03 | 00:02:06 | drop ship it so to get started with etsy |
00:02:05 | 00:02:08 | drop shipping you're going to need three |
00:02:06 | 00:02:10 | main things okay you're gonna need an |
00:02:08 | 00:02:11 | etsy account obviously so this goes |
00:02:10 | 00:02:13 | without saying if you don't already have |
00:02:11 | 00:02:14 | an etsy account sign up for one the |
00:02:13 | 00:02:17 | second thing you're gonna need is to |
00:02:14 | 00:02:19 | sign up for printful.com it's completely |
00:02:17 | 00:02:21 | free to sign up they just take a small |
00:02:19 | 00:02:23 | cut of every single sale and before you |
00:02:21 | 00:02:24 | actually have a product go live they'll |
00:02:23 | 00:02:26 | tell you exactly what that specific cut |
00:02:24 | 00:02:28 | of the product will be how much it's |
00:02:26 | 00:02:31 | estimated to ship to your customers and |
00:02:28 | 00:02:32 | so you can always list your product up |
00:02:31 | 00:02:34 | enough so that it's profitable and the |
00:02:32 | 00:02:35 | final thing you're going to need is a |
00:02:34 | 00:02:37 | graphic design software now that sounds |
00:02:35 | 00:02:39 | complicated it's actually super easy one |
00:02:37 | 00:02:42 | of the ones that you can use is canva |
00:02:39 | 00:02:44 | right here that's 100 free now with |
00:02:42 | 00:02:45 | canvas specifically it's really easy |
00:02:44 | 00:02:46 | there's two things there's two main |
00:02:45 | 00:02:48 | things that i create and i've been |
00:02:46 | 00:02:49 | playing around with other things but |
00:02:48 | 00:02:50 | we're going to keep it simple in this |
00:02:49 | 00:02:53 | tutorial we're either going to create |
00:02:50 | 00:02:54 | mugs right so print on demand mugs or |
00:02:53 | 00:02:56 | print on demand t-shirts now those are |
00:02:54 | 00:02:58 | the two easiest things to get into the |
00:02:56 | 00:03:00 | two you know quickest and shortest |
00:02:58 | 00:03:01 | barriers to entry so that's why in this |
00:03:00 | 00:03:03 | beginner tutorial i'm going to actually |
00:03:01 | 00:03:05 | go ahead and teach you those that said |
00:03:03 | 00:03:06 | once you get half decent at it and you |
00:03:05 | 00:03:08 | have a little bit of skill involved |
00:03:06 | 00:03:10 | after doing a few listings you might |
00:03:08 | 00:03:11 | want to move into a different niche or a |
00:03:10 | 00:03:14 | different type of product that doesn't |
00:03:11 | 00:03:16 | necessarily have a lot of competition an |
00:03:14 | 00:03:18 | example of that would be like printed |
00:03:16 | 00:03:19 | bags right or another great example |
00:03:18 | 00:03:21 | would be like printed hand towels i've |
00:03:19 | 00:03:23 | seen those kind of flying off the |
00:03:21 | 00:03:25 | shelves lately and so this works very |
00:03:23 | 00:03:27 | very well but you don't just want to |
00:03:25 | 00:03:28 | stay in the t-shirt and mug niche |
00:03:27 | 00:03:30 | because that's where everyone starts if |
00:03:28 | 00:03:32 | you don't want to use canva i highly |
00:03:30 | 00:03:34 | recommend using photoshop it's not that |
00:03:32 | 00:03:35 | expensive to get started i forget how |
00:03:34 | 00:03:37 | much it actually is because this is just |
00:03:35 | 00:03:39 | something i don't even pay attention to |
00:03:37 | 00:03:40 | anymore obviously i subscribe to adobe |
00:03:39 | 00:03:42 | so i think it's like 20 bucks a month |
00:03:40 | 00:03:43 | for lightroom photoshop i really don't |
00:03:42 | 00:03:45 | pay attention to it anymore so don't |
00:03:43 | 00:03:47 | hold me to that specific number but it's |
00:03:45 | 00:03:49 | not expensive it's highly worth it so |
00:03:47 | 00:03:51 | what you can do with photoshop is it's |
00:03:49 | 00:03:52 | gonna allow you to create better designs |
00:03:51 | 00:03:54 | overall it's gonna give you a lot more |
00:03:52 | 00:03:55 | freedom to actually create the designs a |
00:03:54 | 00:03:57 | lot more you know freedom to move things |
00:03:55 | 00:03:59 | around create your own png images so you |
00:03:57 | 00:04:00 | can like take something out and put it |
00:03:59 | 00:04:03 | on whatever color background you want |
00:04:00 | 00:04:05 | whereas something like canva however |
00:04:03 | 00:04:07 | you're really only limited to specific |
00:04:05 | 00:04:08 | color backgrounds in my experience so |
00:04:07 | 00:04:10 | i'm going to walk you through tutorials |
00:04:08 | 00:04:11 | with both of those but the very first |
00:04:10 | 00:04:13 | thing that you need to do is you need to |
00:04:11 | 00:04:15 | actually connect your etsy account to |
00:04:13 | 00:04:17 | printful now i'm not going to lengthen |
00:04:15 | 00:04:19 | this tutorial because there's so many |
00:04:17 | 00:04:20 | other youtube videos out there that will |
00:04:19 | 00:04:22 | show you literally just once you sign up |
00:04:20 | 00:04:24 | for an etsy account once you sign up for |
00:04:22 | 00:04:26 | a printful account how do you connect |
00:04:24 | 00:04:27 | the two it's super easy and printful |
00:04:26 | 00:04:29 | actually has their own videos when |
00:04:27 | 00:04:31 | you're connecting in and you're signing |
00:04:29 | 00:04:32 | up to connect to etsy for you it's going |
00:04:31 | 00:04:34 | to show you how to do it it's actually |
00:04:32 | 00:04:35 | very very simple now assuming that |
00:04:34 | 00:04:37 | you've already completed that step and |
00:04:35 | 00:04:38 | you're you have an etsy account you have |
00:04:37 | 00:04:41 | a printful account and they are both |
00:04:38 | 00:04:42 | connected to each other now you can get |
00:04:41 | 00:04:44 | started so the first thing that we're |
00:04:42 | 00:04:46 | going to need to do is you can't just |
00:04:44 | 00:04:47 | create a design based on anything right |
00:04:46 | 00:04:49 | what you want to do just like you want |
00:04:47 | 00:04:50 | to do when you're drop shipping on any |
00:04:49 | 00:04:52 | platform is you want to go out there and |
00:04:50 | 00:04:54 | you want to figure out different types |
00:04:52 | 00:04:56 | of products that are already selling so |
00:04:54 | 00:04:57 | there's a number of different ways to |
00:04:56 | 00:04:59 | actually go ahead and find hot selling |
00:04:57 | 00:05:01 | products on etsy if you like videos like |
00:04:59 | 00:05:02 | this please give it a thumbs up and |
00:05:01 | 00:05:04 | comment down below and let me know that |
00:05:02 | 00:05:05 | you're more interested in some of this |
00:05:04 | 00:05:07 | etsy drop shipping stuff and maybe i'll |
00:05:05 | 00:05:09 | create more tutorials on how to actually |
00:05:07 | 00:05:11 | find hot selling products on etsy |
00:05:09 | 00:05:12 | specifically but just like any website |
00:05:11 | 00:05:14 | where you're drop shipping the products |
00:05:12 | 00:05:15 | are what's going to move the needle the |
00:05:14 | 00:05:17 | most and so the products that you're |
00:05:15 | 00:05:19 | listing you want to make sure have high |
00:05:17 | 00:05:22 | demand or at least a high chance of |
00:05:19 | 00:05:23 | selling and proven to be sold on this on |
00:05:22 | 00:05:24 | the platform in the past so we're gonna |
00:05:23 | 00:05:26 | go to etsy and we're gonna use an |
00:05:24 | 00:05:28 | incognito browser to kind of browse |
00:05:26 | 00:05:30 | around so it doesn't you know suggest me |
00:05:28 | 00:05:32 | certain things based on what it thinks i |
00:05:30 | 00:05:34 | like we wanna see what it looks like to |
00:05:32 | 00:05:35 | a normal person with no data stored in |
00:05:34 | 00:05:37 | etsy so the first thing that you can do |
00:05:35 | 00:05:38 | is you can start typing things into the |
00:05:37 | 00:05:40 | search bar and the first keyword |
00:05:38 | 00:05:42 | potentially that you type in will start |
00:05:40 | 00:05:43 | yielding you ideas and basically what |
00:05:42 | 00:05:44 | you want to do is you want to find one |
00:05:43 | 00:05:46 | of two things you either want to find a |
00:05:44 | 00:05:47 | hot selling product that looks like it |
00:05:46 | 00:05:49 | has sales in the past and you can do |
00:05:47 | 00:05:51 | that by browsing around and finding one |
00:05:49 | 00:05:53 | yourself or you want to find a seller |
00:05:51 | 00:05:54 | that has a lot of sales history that's a |
00:05:53 | 00:05:56 | good seller and start kind of you know |
00:05:54 | 00:05:59 | mimicking their successful products it's |
00:05:56 | 00:06:00 | just like you would sniping on any other |
00:05:59 | 00:06:02 | platform this is the most successful way |
00:06:00 | 00:06:04 | to do it so since patty's day was |
00:06:02 | 00:06:06 | yesterday what's the next type of |
00:06:04 | 00:06:08 | holiday or season that we can go after |
00:06:06 | 00:06:10 | let's say spring for example so let's |
00:06:08 | 00:06:12 | type in spring and you see spring wreath |
00:06:10 | 00:06:14 | spring wreaths |
00:06:12 | 00:06:16 | for front door spring decor spring press |
00:06:14 | 00:06:17 | on nails and typing keywords into the |
00:06:16 | 00:06:20 | search bar like this will actually show |
00:06:17 | 00:06:21 | you different ideas going forward of |
00:06:20 | 00:06:23 | what etsy thinks you're looking for |
00:06:21 | 00:06:25 | based on what other people are already |
00:06:23 | 00:06:26 | looking for on the platform so that's |
00:06:25 | 00:06:28 | one way to do it what i'm going to do to |
00:06:26 | 00:06:30 | accelerate that process just for the |
00:06:28 | 00:06:33 | sake of the tutorial is type in |
00:06:30 | 00:06:34 | something like sprint like funny spring |
00:06:33 | 00:06:35 | t-shirt and we're going to make a |
00:06:34 | 00:06:37 | t-shirt and the next thing that you're |
00:06:35 | 00:06:38 | going to want to do is you're going to |
00:06:37 | 00:06:39 | look for products that are already |
00:06:38 | 00:06:42 | selling so you see that this one says |
00:06:39 | 00:06:43 | popular now we can check that one out if |
00:06:42 | 00:06:45 | it's ranked high then you also could |
00:06:43 | 00:06:47 | check that out or if it says star seller |
00:06:45 | 00:06:48 | then you could look into the seller but |
00:06:47 | 00:06:50 | let's just open a couple of these tabs |
00:06:48 | 00:06:52 | and we'll start looking through so let's |
00:06:50 | 00:06:53 | open what part of this don't you |
00:06:52 | 00:06:54 | understand |
00:06:53 | 00:06:56 | um |
00:06:54 | 00:06:58 | my peeps might be an interesting one for |
00:06:56 | 00:07:00 | easter coming up this one might be an |
00:06:58 | 00:07:02 | interesting one hello spring might be an |
00:07:00 | 00:07:03 | interesting one and you can go down what |
00:07:02 | 00:07:05 | you want to do basically before you |
00:07:03 | 00:07:07 | actually create these is actually search |
00:07:05 | 00:07:09 | that to make sure that there's not a lot |
00:07:07 | 00:07:11 | of other competition out there whereas |
00:07:09 | 00:07:12 | like there's 50 other shirts just like |
00:07:11 | 00:07:13 | this so |
00:07:12 | 00:07:14 | this one's the first one we're going to |
00:07:13 | 00:07:16 | check out |
00:07:14 | 00:07:17 | this one says it's popular now so the |
00:07:16 | 00:07:19 | very first thing that we're going to do |
00:07:17 | 00:07:21 | is men's tea chocolate bunny toking |
00:07:19 | 00:07:24 | funny easter holiday we're going to |
00:07:21 | 00:07:26 | search that into the etsy search bar |
00:07:24 | 00:07:28 | so we're going to come back here |
00:07:26 | 00:07:31 | it's actually a new tab oh |
00:07:28 | 00:07:33 | got one in the incognito browser |
00:07:31 | 00:07:34 | search that in the search bar and make |
00:07:33 | 00:07:36 | sure that there's not a bunch of of |
00:07:34 | 00:07:38 | t-shirts just like this and you see that |
00:07:36 | 00:07:41 | there are a large number of t-shirts |
00:07:38 | 00:07:43 | like this but nothing crazy that you you |
00:07:41 | 00:07:46 | know potentially couldn't rank for i see |
00:07:43 | 00:07:47 | maybe eight of them so there's space |
00:07:46 | 00:07:49 | here to rank for this actual keyword a |
00:07:47 | 00:07:50 | good example of this might be something |
00:07:49 | 00:07:52 | that's a little bit more you know |
00:07:50 | 00:07:54 | surefire with like a specific title and |
00:07:52 | 00:07:55 | you'll type that title into the search |
00:07:54 | 00:07:57 | bar and you'll see that there's like an |
00:07:55 | 00:07:59 | entire first page of pretty much the |
00:07:57 | 00:08:01 | same shirt with just slightly different |
00:07:59 | 00:08:03 | lettering and slightly different colors |
00:08:01 | 00:08:06 | so that is not the case for this one so |
00:08:03 | 00:08:07 | this one could be an interesting idea so |
00:08:06 | 00:08:08 | the next thing that you could do is you |
00:08:07 | 00:08:10 | can come down and you could reverse |
00:08:08 | 00:08:12 | engineer the seller's best listings if |
00:08:10 | 00:08:14 | the seller obviously has a lot of |
00:08:12 | 00:08:15 | experience so this is a popular shirt |
00:08:14 | 00:08:16 | we're going to actually mimic this shirt |
00:08:15 | 00:08:19 | as well but you can also see that it's |
00:08:16 | 00:08:21 | sold by extra fly apparel who has over |
00:08:19 | 00:08:23 | 23 000 sales here and they're five stars |
00:08:21 | 00:08:24 | on the platform so we're going to open |
00:08:23 | 00:08:26 | up their store and we're going to start |
00:08:24 | 00:08:28 | looking through their best product so |
00:08:26 | 00:08:29 | they actually have a lot of different |
00:08:28 | 00:08:30 | products but what we're basically |
00:08:29 | 00:08:31 | looking for here is something that's |
00:08:30 | 00:08:33 | going to say |
00:08:31 | 00:08:35 | hot selling product or showing us that |
00:08:33 | 00:08:37 | there is a lot of sales you could also |
00:08:35 | 00:08:38 | go down at their most recent reviews and |
00:08:37 | 00:08:40 | see which of their products are actually |
00:08:38 | 00:08:41 | selling well so to give you an example |
00:08:40 | 00:08:43 | of how we're gonna recreate the shirt |
00:08:41 | 00:08:45 | you can either use canva or you can use |
00:08:43 | 00:08:46 | photoshop for this specific tutorial i'm |
00:08:45 | 00:08:49 | gonna use photoshop because that's what |
00:08:46 | 00:08:50 | i like but canva is just as easy it's |
00:08:49 | 00:08:52 | really really simple to play around with |
00:08:50 | 00:08:53 | and if you need to learn canva you can |
00:08:52 | 00:08:55 | probably learn canva in like 15 20 |
00:08:53 | 00:08:57 | minutes by watching a simple tutorial so |
00:08:55 | 00:08:59 | we're simply going to recreate something |
00:08:57 | 00:09:00 | just like this but maybe put our own |
00:08:59 | 00:09:02 | spin on it so we're going to find |
00:09:00 | 00:09:04 | chocolate looking bunnies just like this |
00:09:02 | 00:09:05 | all right so we found an image very very |
00:09:04 | 00:09:06 | similar and now we're just going to |
00:09:05 | 00:09:07 | download the image and we're going to |
00:09:06 | 00:09:09 | rip those bunnies out of the picture |
00:09:07 | 00:09:11 | we'll just save the image we'll bring it |
00:09:09 | 00:09:13 | open in photoshop and specifically with |
00:09:11 | 00:09:16 | photoshop t-shirts you want them to be 4 |
00:09:13 | 00:09:18 | 500 by 5400 those are the best |
00:09:16 | 00:09:19 | dimensions to create on an image for a |
00:09:18 | 00:09:21 | t-shirt so you'll see this is going to |
00:09:19 | 00:09:22 | be like the main part of the t-shirt now |
00:09:21 | 00:09:24 | we know what we're working with so we're |
00:09:22 | 00:09:25 | going to open that picture that we just |
00:09:24 | 00:09:27 | downloaded |
00:09:25 | 00:09:28 | with the bunnies simply quick select it |
00:09:27 | 00:09:30 | which means we're just going to take the |
00:09:28 | 00:09:31 | bunnies out of the original picture and |
00:09:30 | 00:09:34 | now we're just going to quick select the |
00:09:31 | 00:09:36 | bunnies and grab them from the image so |
00:09:34 | 00:09:37 | now we have the bunnies one tip that i |
00:09:36 | 00:09:40 | will give you is make sure that you |
00:09:37 | 00:09:42 | utilize all of the space that you have |
00:09:40 | 00:09:44 | in this actual frame you don't want a |
00:09:42 | 00:09:46 | little design on a big t-shirt unless |
00:09:44 | 00:09:47 | that's what you're actively going for |
00:09:46 | 00:09:49 | now i also went to google and we're |
00:09:47 | 00:09:51 | gonna open up two speech boxes really |
00:09:49 | 00:09:53 | fast i just downloaded those off google |
00:09:51 | 00:09:55 | as well and we're gonna need to select |
00:09:53 | 00:09:57 | these with the quick selection tool just |
00:09:55 | 00:09:58 | like we did before now that we quick |
00:09:57 | 00:09:59 | selected it we're gonna just drag it |
00:09:58 | 00:10:00 | over and now we're gonna do the same |
00:09:59 | 00:10:02 | thing with the other one just quick |
00:10:00 | 00:10:04 | select it and now we've pretty much |
00:10:02 | 00:10:05 | replicated the shirt we just need to add |
00:10:04 | 00:10:07 | some text there all right and there we |
00:10:05 | 00:10:08 | go we pretty much replicated the shirt |
00:10:07 | 00:10:11 | so what we basically did is we took |
00:10:08 | 00:10:13 | these images off google we put them in |
00:10:11 | 00:10:15 | there we then found some speech tabs we |
00:10:13 | 00:10:16 | literally wrote my butt hurts and then |
00:10:15 | 00:10:18 | we change it up a little bit with |
00:10:16 | 00:10:20 | instead of saying what he's got like the |
00:10:18 | 00:10:21 | shocked or like the i don't even know |
00:10:20 | 00:10:23 | what you would call that face but we put |
00:10:21 | 00:10:25 | that emoji in there to kind of switch it |
00:10:23 | 00:10:26 | up and that's pretty much what the |
00:10:25 | 00:10:29 | original shirt looks like we just kind |
00:10:26 | 00:10:31 | of put our own spin on it now before you |
00:10:29 | 00:10:32 | actually upload this because unless |
00:10:31 | 00:10:34 | you're uploading this to a white shirt |
00:10:32 | 00:10:36 | and even if you are uploading it to a |
00:10:34 | 00:10:38 | white shirt background the whites might |
00:10:36 | 00:10:39 | not still be the same color you can also |
00:10:38 | 00:10:42 | learn these basics of photoshop super |
00:10:39 | 00:10:43 | fast within like a quick udemy course or |
00:10:42 | 00:10:45 | something like that it won't take you |
00:10:43 | 00:10:47 | very long canvas a lot easier to use but |
00:10:45 | 00:10:49 | again you can't rip the actual picture |
00:10:47 | 00:10:50 | out with png like i'm about to show you |
00:10:49 | 00:10:52 | so if this was your t-shirt and you were |
00:10:50 | 00:10:54 | using like canva you'd have to put this |
00:10:52 | 00:10:55 | on a white background because you can't |
00:10:54 | 00:10:57 | remove the background if you are on |
00:10:55 | 00:10:58 | photoshop one of the benefits of that is |
00:10:57 | 00:11:01 | that you can just hide the background |
00:10:58 | 00:11:02 | now and then it turns into a png and you |
00:11:01 | 00:11:04 | can save this picture and then put it on |
00:11:02 | 00:11:06 | whatever background shirt you want so |
00:11:04 | 00:11:08 | we're going to export this now as the |
00:11:06 | 00:11:09 | png and now what you want to do is you |
00:11:08 | 00:11:11 | want to go back into printful you're |
00:11:09 | 00:11:13 | going to go to your stores you're going |
00:11:11 | 00:11:14 | to go to add a product and now you're |
00:11:13 | 00:11:16 | gonna find a t-shirt so you can type in |
00:11:14 | 00:11:18 | t-shirt here i know where they are so |
00:11:16 | 00:11:19 | i'm just gonna go to men's clothing or |
00:11:18 | 00:11:21 | this might even be better for women's |
00:11:19 | 00:11:23 | clothing t-shirts a lot of them are |
00:11:21 | 00:11:24 | unisex anyway and you can see on the |
00:11:23 | 00:11:26 | side here on printful all the different |
00:11:24 | 00:11:27 | things that you're able to drop ship and |
00:11:26 | 00:11:30 | then right here we're going to actually |
00:11:27 | 00:11:31 | put our design in so it's dtg printing |
00:11:30 | 00:11:33 | we're going to drop the design in there |
00:11:31 | 00:11:34 | and bam there it's on the shirt we can |
00:11:33 | 00:11:36 | actually see what it looks like on the |
00:11:34 | 00:11:37 | actual shirt and so now what you want to |
00:11:36 | 00:11:39 | do is you want to select all the |
00:11:37 | 00:11:41 | potential colors and sizes that you can |
00:11:39 | 00:11:43 | which is why it was important for us to |
00:11:41 | 00:11:44 | actually make that a png image in the |
00:11:43 | 00:11:46 | first place because if we didn't we |
00:11:44 | 00:11:47 | could only really put it on a white |
00:11:46 | 00:11:49 | background because then it would be a |
00:11:47 | 00:11:50 | white square on a different color shirt |
00:11:49 | 00:11:52 | and it would look terrible so we're |
00:11:50 | 00:11:54 | going to select all the colors that we |
00:11:52 | 00:11:55 | can and obviously it limits you to a |
00:11:54 | 00:11:58 | certain variant so we're going to take |
00:11:55 | 00:12:01 | out 4xl 5xl |
00:11:58 | 00:12:02 | we'll take out xs we'll take out 3xl and |
00:12:01 | 00:12:04 | then we're going to remove some of these |
00:12:02 | 00:12:06 | other colors right here not white though |
00:12:04 | 00:12:08 | and there we go so now we offer it in |
00:12:06 | 00:12:10 | all these sizes and all these specific |
00:12:08 | 00:12:11 | colors i took a lot of the darker colors |
00:12:10 | 00:12:13 | out because i don't know that this would |
00:12:11 | 00:12:14 | look too good on a dark shirt a lot of |
00:12:13 | 00:12:15 | people for easter anyway are probably |
00:12:14 | 00:12:17 | going to get these lighter colors or |
00:12:15 | 00:12:19 | something along those lines but now look |
00:12:17 | 00:12:20 | at all the variations that we offer and |
00:12:19 | 00:12:23 | all the variations that we can drop ship |
00:12:20 | 00:12:24 | of this specific shirt to other people |
00:12:23 | 00:12:26 | and we don't have to hold any of that |
00:12:24 | 00:12:27 | inventory you can see it's going to show |
00:12:26 | 00:12:29 | you all the different mock-ups so what |
00:12:27 | 00:12:31 | you can do is you can use an active live |
00:12:29 | 00:12:33 | mock-up they have part of the printful |
00:12:31 | 00:12:35 | software shows you what it looks like on |
00:12:33 | 00:12:36 | an actual person and then obviously can |
00:12:35 | 00:12:38 | help you a lot of ways when you're |
00:12:36 | 00:12:39 | trying to sell the t-shirt because |
00:12:38 | 00:12:41 | people are going to visualize themselves |
00:12:39 | 00:12:42 | wearing the t-shirt and now you don't |
00:12:41 | 00:12:43 | have to because this is literally going |
00:12:42 | 00:12:46 | to be your listing what i've seen to |
00:12:43 | 00:12:47 | work best for me honestly is not the |
00:12:46 | 00:12:50 | live mock-ups although you can use them |
00:12:47 | 00:12:51 | test them both out i've seen that like |
00:12:50 | 00:12:54 | normally just like the laying down kind |
00:12:51 | 00:12:56 | of ones work the best but again test |
00:12:54 | 00:12:58 | them both i have sold plenty shirts and |
00:12:56 | 00:12:59 | mugs where it's like the lifestyle image |
00:12:58 | 00:13:01 | so i'm gonna use the spring summer vibes |
00:12:59 | 00:13:02 | mock-up and here we go so you can't see |
00:13:01 | 00:13:05 | what the shirt looks like here but it |
00:13:02 | 00:13:06 | will when it actually uploads onto etsy |
00:13:05 | 00:13:08 | so now what we need is we need the |
00:13:06 | 00:13:10 | product title and the description okay |
00:13:08 | 00:13:11 | so the first thing that i like to do is |
00:13:10 | 00:13:13 | i like to go through and check to see |
00:13:11 | 00:13:15 | what the bottom one looks like because |
00:13:13 | 00:13:16 | the bottom one on printful often will |
00:13:15 | 00:13:18 | say something along the lines of |
00:13:16 | 00:13:20 | manufactured in whatever the country is |
00:13:18 | 00:13:22 | i always delete that the next thing i do |
00:13:20 | 00:13:23 | is i'm going to go back and what i'm |
00:13:22 | 00:13:26 | going to do for the sake of saving time |
00:13:23 | 00:13:27 | is just copy their specific listings i'm |
00:13:26 | 00:13:29 | actually actually going to list this and |
00:13:27 | 00:13:31 | then i'm going to paste it in here to |
00:13:29 | 00:13:32 | get all the potential keywords that they |
00:13:31 | 00:13:34 | potentially rank for on the platform now |
00:13:32 | 00:13:36 | what you want to do once you do this is |
00:13:34 | 00:13:38 | you want to switch this up a little bit |
00:13:36 | 00:13:39 | right so you don't want to say their |
00:13:38 | 00:13:41 | exact title you want to switch it up you |
00:13:39 | 00:13:43 | just want to use the majority of their |
00:13:41 | 00:13:45 | main keywords so i'm going to paste this |
00:13:43 | 00:13:46 | in here i'm also going to see if their |
00:13:45 | 00:13:48 | description says anything so they don't |
00:13:46 | 00:13:50 | really have any good keywords in their |
00:13:48 | 00:13:52 | description so that's a way that we can |
00:13:50 | 00:13:54 | improve ours women since we made a women |
00:13:52 | 00:13:57 | shirt women's chocolate bunnies toking |
00:13:54 | 00:14:00 | funny easter holiday short sleeve |
00:13:57 | 00:14:00 | t-shirt bunny rabbit funny egg hunt |
00:14:00 | 00:14:02 | spring |
00:14:00 | 00:14:03 | t-shirt t |
00:14:02 | 00:14:05 | short sleeve the next thing you're going |
00:14:03 | 00:14:07 | to want to do is the tags so just like |
00:14:05 | 00:14:08 | you would on any other website you want |
00:14:07 | 00:14:10 | to come up with some good tags that are |
00:14:08 | 00:14:11 | going to actually actually help you get |
00:14:10 | 00:14:13 | visibility on the platform and now's the |
00:14:11 | 00:14:14 | fun part now you get to see what you can |
00:14:13 | 00:14:16 | actually make so for whatever reason i |
00:14:14 | 00:14:17 | need to reboot my actual printful |
00:14:16 | 00:14:19 | because it's not working but usually it |
00:14:17 | 00:14:21 | estimates your profit margin here on the |
00:14:19 | 00:14:22 | side so it'll tell you if you like you |
00:14:21 | 00:14:24 | list this for 15 bucks here's what |
00:14:22 | 00:14:25 | you'll make on the actual t-shirt you |
00:14:24 | 00:14:27 | also want to take into account what |
00:14:25 | 00:14:28 | everyone else is selling this for so |
00:14:27 | 00:14:30 | they're selling it for 10.99 that does |
00:14:28 | 00:14:32 | not mean you need to sell it that low |
00:14:30 | 00:14:34 | what i would do is i would take this in |
00:14:32 | 00:14:36 | to etsy again see what everybody else is |
00:14:34 | 00:14:37 | selling it for and then pick somewhere |
00:14:36 | 00:14:38 | in the middle when you're starting out |
00:14:37 | 00:14:40 | you don't have a lot of reviews you want |
00:14:38 | 00:14:41 | to sell on the lower end to get some |
00:14:40 | 00:14:43 | reviews and some social proof this is |
00:14:41 | 00:14:45 | true on any platform that you drop ship |
00:14:43 | 00:14:47 | on as you build those reviews you build |
00:14:45 | 00:14:49 | more store notoriety you get more sales |
00:14:47 | 00:14:50 | you can start raising your prices |
00:14:49 | 00:14:52 | because then obviously people will buy |
00:14:50 | 00:14:53 | from you with the no like and trust |
00:14:52 | 00:14:55 | factor and there you go now it's |
