Hey, everyone. Welcome
back to another video. Today's video is going to be a complete print-on-demand tutorial. This is going to go over
everything step-by-step that I personally do, and I've been in this
space for quite a while, so hopefully this video can
be an all-in-one video for you to go from idea of wanting
to start print-on-demand, to getting your first sale. Everything in between is going
to be covered here on camera, and here on the computer. I can put you on screen recording so you can follow along step-by-step, and get everything you
need out of this video. Now, this video is going
to be a little bit longer, it probably could be a course as you guys know, I put
everything here free on YouTube, so really take advantage of this video. It's got all the special tools that I've learned to use, and I'm sharing it all
with you guys freely. So all I ask is if you enjoy this video, just give it a thumbs up and let me know down in the comments. Alright, without further ado, let's go ahead and get
straight into this video because there's going to
be a lot of information to cover here. So before we get into this, for those of you who don't
know what print-on-demand is, essentially what
print-on-demand business is, is you create T-shirt designs, you upload them to a
few different websites, and they get sold on these websites. People can purchase those
designs on T-shirts, and the company or the website that you uploaded that design to, they do all of the
printing onto the shirt, shipping out to the customer, and they handle the
customer service for you. So essentially, we create
the T-shirt designs, we upload them to the right websites, and if everything is done correctly, all we do is collect our paycheck. Now, I know this sounds
like one of those things that's too good to be true, but I've been doing this
for over seven years now, and I'm just giving back and sharing all of this information freely so that you guys can start
this kind of business for yourself as well. Now, to give you an idea
of what this looks like, let's go into my computer real quickly. So print-on-demand, I'm gonna
use Amazon as an example because they are one of the
websites that does this. You search for a type of T-shirt. Right now, I'm searching
for a camping T-shirt. And you scroll down and you can see Amazon Merch on Demand. This is a little label that's
under each of these listings. That's using this
print-on-demand business. Now, some sellers on Amazon, they could physically print the products and ship them to you,
but those who are using this business model of print-on-demand, are just uploading the designs. It gets labeled as Amazon Merch on Demand. And then, basically, you can come in here, you can click on this shirt. If you like this shirt,
then you can switch to whatever type of shirt you're buying, whatever color you want this shirt in. You select your size. And then you can place your order. You can buy it now or add it to the cart, and purchase it just like you
would on Amazon on any site, but then Amazon will do
all of the backend work where they print the shirt
and they ship it out to you. And again, all of the
customer service is handled, just like it would
normally be through Amazon. Now, I wanted to show you that because Amazon's very easy to relate to, so that you can understand
what print-on-demand is. But Amazon's not the only
website that does this. There are several other websites that I'll talk about in this video. Some of them are better than others. I'll talk about that
later on in this video. But you can upload these same design to multiple different websites, and they all get their own traffic and you can basically repeat
this process I just showed you on all of these different websites. Now, one more small thing to
cover before we start start getting into this step-by-step tutorial, is that there's two different
types of print-on-demand. I'll cover this quickly, but it's an important thing to note. There is passive print-on-demand, which I basically just showed you. And then there is active print-on-demand, which is you create your own website, you try to drive your own traffic, and you basically build
your own clothing brand. And then you can still use
a print-on-demand provider to actually print those
products and ship them out. But you have to collect the order, you have to send it to that provider, and then they do all of the shipping. You still are responsible
for the customer service. So with that being said, of building your own website
or just uploading to Amazon and these other websites, I personally prefer the passive side because everything is done for you. You just create the
designs and upload them and you can really sit back, you don't even need internet access, and all of these sales can
be fulfilled by themselves and you don't have to lift a finger. So needless to say, this whole tutorial that I'm going to walk you through, is for this passive-style business model, because ultimately, I think
you're going to like that a lot better in the long run. So now that we should
all be on the same page of what print-on-demand is and what's going to be
covered in this video, now let's get into the
good part of this video. I have a lot of good tools to show you and some good processes. So let's just go ahead and jump in the computer and show you. So when you decide you
wanna do print-on-demand, you can create T-shirt designs in any topic or any niche that you want, as long as you're not doing
anything that is copyrighted. Typically, this is
going to be movie quotes or song lyrics or logos of businesses. You don't wanna use any of those things because they are owned by other people. We wanna be looking for things like this camping shirt here that says, "Camping is my happy place." That is most likely not
going to be trademarked, that's not going to be owned by someone. It's not a logo. That's the sweet spot of
what we are looking for. Now, my first piece of advice for you would be to think about
what kind of topics or niches you'd like to create designs in. If it's something that
you are passionate about or you know about, that is
going to be a great place to start for you. And when you're just getting
started in print-on-demand, it can be hard to get
past that initial barrier of getting those designs created, getting them uploaded to the websites, and then waiting a little bit until you see those sales started. Then you will have that
motivation to continue going. So in the beginning, rather than hunting for
the absolute perfect topic or the perfect niche to
create your designs in, just think of what's relevant to you. For me personally, I like the outdoors and camping and traveling. That's why I'm using this as an example. So that's what I'm gonna walk
you through in this tutorial. But for you, that might
be food and drinks. You might really like culinary things, you could use that as your niche. Or you might really like
yoga or mountain biking or rock climbing, whatever that is to you, let's use that as your way
of getting started here. So once you have that topic or idea of what kinda shirts you
wanna create in your head, and this can change any time, you just need a good one to start with to get you through this tutorial, then let's go over to a different website and figure out what kind
of designs or slogans to put on these shirts. So my initial place that
I've always recommended to get ideas for creating these designs, is to go over to etsy.com. Now, we're not actually
going to be using Etsy for print-on-demand, however, they are a great place to get inspiration because they have a ton of
great creative listings. So what I'm going to do
for the camping idea, is I'm going to type in camping T-shirt. Now once you search this, you are going to get a ton of hits here and you can see a ton
of different designs. Some of them are pretty funny, I hate people. That's why people go into
the middle of the woods to go camp. There are a lot of different designs that you can get ideas from here. And the important thing is
don't rip these designs off. Just look at these slogans. That's all we need to
look at for right now. Now, going to Etsy has been
my place to find inspiration for T-shirt designs for basically ever. It's just such a good resource,
that's why I recommend it. However, in this tutorial, I have another way that you
can get really good designs. This is something that's brand new, so I'm really excited to share
it with you in this video. So there's a new website that's created by a company called OpenAI, basically standing for
artificial intelligence, and they create products
or they create services that have artificial intelligence in them. And they recently created
a product called ChatGPT. So let me open that up over here. And the way to get to
this is Chat.openai.com, and you'll basically just have to create a free account to use this. And this is going to be
my new suggestion for you. I don't know how long this is going to be available for free. I think currently
they're just testing this as a customer-facing AI, but I have a feeling that
Google or someone big is going to purchase this
and put it behind a paywall where you have to pay to use it, or not have it customer facing or free. So long story short, if
this is still available, this is going to make things a lot easier. It's not required. It's just a good way that you can find really
good ideas quickly. So once you get in here, you can basically ask ChatGPT anything, and you're basically asking artificial intelligence something, and it's giving you an answer back. Now, I do not agree with this 100%, because I think it's
going to get carried away. And the biggest problem here is that the information
that they give you back on most answers is not factual. It's not 100% credible. But for our instance of asking ChatGPT what are good T-shirt
designs for whatever niche, you're going to be blown
away by the results. So allow me to show you this, and then bear with me
because there's a few things that you have to understand throughout it, but this is likely
going to blow your mind, like it has mine. So here we go. I'm just going to jump
into this and show you. So over here on ChatGPT,
let's just type in, what are 10 copyright-free
camping T-shirt slogans? Now, you can swap this out to 10 copyright-free,
whatever your niche is, T-shirt slogans. So once you hit Enter, it's going to take a
minute to think about this and give you an answer. You can see it's loading down here. And you can switch this to 10, you can switch it to 20, no matter how big you want this list, but 10 is a good place to start. So as you can see, it's
starting to answer this, and it's basically just giving me slogans for T-shirt designs. This is really crazy. I've never seen any tool
that can do it this good in the past. So this is something
that's pretty special. Again, I don't know how long
this is gonna stick around, so if you can get access
to this, go try it out. So here we go. Life is
better in the woods. Camping is my happy place.
I'd rather be camping. The mountains are calling and I must go. These are absolutely awesome. But there's something that's
really important here, and it's that, like I
was mentioning before, not all of these are factual or true. So I explicitly asked it for copyright-free
camping T-shirt slogans. Well, what I have found
is that not all of these are always copyright free. Some of these may be
copyrighted by a company or by another seller,
so you can't use that. If you accidentally go ahead and just use this in your
design and upload it, that listing will be removed and you're going to get
a strike on your account. In some cases, they will ban your account for copyright infringement if
you do this too many times. So once you get this list, it's basically a way to just get the text, and then you figure out how
to create the design with it, which I'll walk you
through everything here. But before we go from
what these slogans are to actually creating the design, the huge important step here is to make sure that these
truly are not copyrighted. So you could manually
copy these and paste them into the government website
and search trademarks to see if they're protected on apparel, or you can just use a tool for this that basically does it for you. This is what I've been doing for years, and it makes it much easier. So what I'm going to do is
select all of these 10 here and use Command + C and copy them. And then I'm going to go to our next tool that we're going to use here, which is called Merch Informer. This is one that if you've
been watching my channel, I talk about because I've
been using it forever for this instance right here. So on Merch Informer,
it's about $10 a month or something like that. This is our first paid tool here, but it's going to help you avoid all of the legal issues
of potentially using a copyright-protected slogan. So I'm just going to log into my account, but for you, you may wanna go to pricing and check this out. I actually have a discount code from them that I'll put down in the description. That gives you 20% off, so that I'll bring it down
to about $8 per month. Well worth it. You don't have to use this. There are other ways that you can search the government website. This is just going to make
it so much easier for you. So let me sign in and
show you how to do this. Okay, so once you're
inside of Merch Informer, basically come over to the left side and hit Trademarks. It'll drop down and then
go to Trademark Alerts. Now, in here, we're just
going to Command + V. I'm just going to paste
all of these 10 slogans that we got from that website. And then the only tedious thing is I just have to delete
all of the quotation marks so that the search is done properly. All right, so once you
have all 10 of these here with no quotations on them, just hit Save. Now, all of these are
going to be bumped down into the results down here. Now it says, "Safe to
use, not checked yet." So all you have to do is then
click this button up here, Check Trademarks, wait for
this to load for a second, and then just refresh your page and it'll give you the new answers on if they're copyright protected or not. So as it turns out, all of these 10 here are safe to use on apparel, so they get the green check mark. If you got the red X, that means that it's copyright protected. Do not use that on a
print-on-demand listing on apparel because you're going to
run into legal issues. So in this instance of
searching for camping shirts on the ChatGPT, all of these
are actually good to use. Now, this does not happen every time, just in this example. However, I really do wanna emphasize that not all of the time these are going to be copyright free. So don't just create this
list and then go use it because you're going to be
shooting yourself in the foot if you accidentally upload things that are copyright protected. So now if we go back to Merch Informer, and we know that all of
these are good to use, we basically have our text and we have our slogan
ready to go into designs. So now we are all the way at the point of creating the designs, which is basically our last step here. Once we create the designs, then we upload it to the websites. And I'll talk about which
websites to upload to after this so that you're not wasting
your time with bad ones. You're just uploading to the ones that truly get traffic
and you'll get sales on. Now, when it comes to designing, this is where you really
have to focus your efforts and make sure you're doing it right. All of the steps up to here
have kind of been technicality. So we have good ways to find designs, we have good ways to check if
they're copyright protected, but now you have to create
the designs yourself. Now, in the beginning, when I started out, seven-some odd years ago, I did not have graphic design experience. Still, I would consider myself not able to create designs by hand that are going to be really good designs. That stuff is really challenging. It truly is, and I've
been doing this forever. So what I have done is I
have found different websites that offer print-on-demand
T-shirt templates. This is by far the best way to do this if you're trying to start
print-on-demand as a business. Essentially, what we need to be able to do is create great designs
in an efficient manner where it doesn't take us too long, so that we really can
keep rinse and repeating, creating great designs,
uploading them to the websites. We're not going to spending an entire day creating one design because
you're simply not going to cover enough ground, you're not going to create enough designs. In my peak of doing print-on-demand, I was uploading somewhere
around 50 designs per day. That was creating the
designs and uploading them to the different websites. Now, that is a lot of work
to do all by yourself, but the tool that I'm about to show you will allow you to do that. So if it is just you in
the business running it, you don't have other people helping you, you can create a lot of designs yourself. You're not going to be
spending tons of hours on a single design. So the next tool that we're
going to use in this process is strictly for designing. So this is called Placeit.net. This is the tool that I
have kind of grown to use. I've used all of the
different tools out there, and a lot of them run into
the issue of the fonts or the templates or the
graphics are not copyright free. So even if the slogan or
the text that we checked is copyright free, some
of these other websites, you're using a font that's protected or owned by someone else, and they don't even tell you that until you start reading the fine print. Everything that you find on
Placeit, is 100% copyright free. Everything from the graphics, to the text, to the layouts, everything. This is why I use Placeit. Placeit is also going to be one of those that is a paid tool to use. So what I recommend if you
have the means to do this, it's only a couple dollars a month. I think right now, they're
charging $7.50 a month if you do the entire year. If you just do it month to month, I believe it's about $15 per month. But they also gave me a coupon because I've used them for years now. That gives you 15% off, so it brings you down
to about $12 per month. And then you get full, unlimited access. Since this is another paid tool, I just wanted to spend a minute here to try to justify why I use it and why I'm recommending it to you guys, because I know that's
money out of your pocket. You're trying to start a business, you're not trying to pay
money to other people. Hopefully, that justifies
why this is a good product. Let's go ahead and just
show you how to use it. So first, let me log in here and then I'll show you how to
create the T-shirt designs. All right, now that I'm logged in here, let's go over to the homepage here. And let's hover over Designs and then go over to T-shirt Designs. Now, once you're in T-shirt Designs, this is going to be all of
their different T-shirt designs. If you hover over it, it'll show you the different
colors or different examples that you could create with that design. And if you scroll down to the bottom, you can see that they have tons of pages. There's literally 600 different pages of T-shirt designs, and there's gotta be 20-plus on each page. So what I recommend to you, to get the best outcome for your search, really to be the most efficient here, is to type in the niche or the topic that you are creating
designs on currently. So I'm going to type in camping, and I'm just going to search for that. This is going to give
us a bunch of results. Then I'm going to come
over to the left side here, and sort it by just T-shirt Designs. So there are 47 camping T-shirt designs, I can see the number right here, that are specifically
T-shirt designs for camping. And when you hover over these, you can see slightly
different variations of them, different colors, different graphics, and we can choose any of these. All of these are going to
be 100% copyright free. So as you scroll through here, you can see there are
just a ton to choose from. And some of these are
really complex designs. Something like this would be
extremely difficult to create in Photoshop and you can
simply just come in here, edit the text, change the graphics, change the color if you want to, and just save it to your computer, and you just saved all of that time. So I'm going to use one of these. Like, look how intricate these are. This is just every time I come in here, it continues to blow my mind. This would be so difficult to create and you can just use it here. So I like this one over here. These circular designs, I think
are really cool for camping. I just tend to see it a lot of the times when I'm out there. People have shirts on like this, so that's what I'm going to use. It's more of a minimal design. I'm going to click on that. It'll bring us right into
the T-shirt Editor here. And now what I'm going to do,
is go back to Merch Informer and look at our list of 10 phrases. So now we have all of these, and basically we can use
every single one of these. So since we have 47
different camping templates, and I have have 10 right here, I can put every single one of these
into a different template. So I'm going to use this one, Life is better in the woods. I just think that's a cool phrase. And if you look at our design, it's clearly in the woods. So this is going to match up good here. So this first box right here, and again, you can move any of this,
you can make it bigger, it's not going to fit in a circle anymore, but if you do need to move a graphic or make it bigger, you can
do all of that right here and you can just hit back button if you wanna undo something, or you can do reset if you
wanna put it all the way back to how it was in the beginning. So our text here is going to be, Life is better in the woods. So I'm just going to switch this out here. Life is better in the woods. And as you can see, it kind
of auto formats everything, and basically we're done. You really don't have to do anything else but change the text, if you don't want to. But if you do wanna change
the font or anything, again, all of these are copyright free. But all you do is come in here and you can select a different font, and it'll just change that in real time. So that's actually a really nice font. Let's just go ahead and
use this one instead. There we go, recently used. Perfect. So before we can download
this to our computer, there's one more step
that we need to take. So let's go over to Background right here, click on that dropdown
and hit the checkerboard. This is basically going to turn
this into a transparent PNG. So the background will not be printed in any color on the T-shirt, you'll just have the graphic right here that gets printed on that T-shirt. So I know you can't really
see the design right now, but that's why we change
this as the last thing. And then once we do that, we're just going to click download. It's just going to say that
it's processing the download, it's almost ready. And then all you do is
click here to download, and it downloads it
directly to your computer. So just like that, we have
our first design already done. So when you zoom in on this, you can see that the quality is great. So it'll print. I have
no issues with that. And it has a transparent
background for us already. So this is our first design
right here. We're already done. So basically, we would
just close out of this one. We'd go back to our list over
here, we'd go to the next one, and we would just start doing all of these in different templates. That's how easy it is
to create these designs. So I'm just going to
create this one for now, use it for this tutorial, and we'll proceed through the next steps. For you, once you get
started in this business, you'd wanna stay here and
create all 10 of those. And then you have your 10 designs ready, then you can go to the next step and efficiently upload all of them to the different websites. All right, so first off, congratulations if you've made it this far. You basically have done all
of your research and ideation. You've found different slogans, you figured out which
ones were copyright free or which ones are protected
and you shouldn't use. And then you came over and
you created the designs with really professional templates. So most of the hard work is already done. Now it's really just logistics stuff. This is technical things of
going to different websites and uploading your designs
and then putting a title and a description to them,
and you're essentially done. Once you've uploaded these
designs to these websites we're about to talk about, those
designs will have a listing on those websites essentially forever. And they will do the marketing. They bring in their own traffic. So essentially, we're nearly at the end of this process here already. Now, I'm going to start off
on one of the first websites. This one's called TeePublic. Now, the reason I'm using TeePublic is because they have a
really good upload interface that's simple to understand. So for you guys who are new starting out, this should help you catch you up to speed and kind of give you the idea
of what we're trying to do when we're uploading these,
how we're titling them, what kind of descriptions
we're putting in. And then this is just one of the websites. So if you look up a list of different print-on-demand websites, there
are a ton of them out there. Now, I've used a lot of the
popular print-on-demand websites for years, so I've seen
how many sales come from how many items are uploaded, and I've uploaded these same designs on multiple different websites to see which ones sell the best. So you can upload them
to as many as you want because all of these
websites are non-exclusive. So you can have the same
design with the same title on multiple different websites. However, my recommendation to
you would be just a handful of different websites. There's a reason that I
like to do it this way, is because you don't wanna waste your time uploading to 15 different websites, when maybe only five of
them are going to give you the vast majority of your sales. So save your time from
uploading to a ton of them, and I would recommend just
uploading them to a few. So the ones that I would
recommend from experience would be TeePublic, just
because we're showing it here, that's going to be a good one. They get well over a million
people to their website every single month, totally organically, browsing three different shirts to buy. And then you have Redbubble,
you have Merch on Demand, the Amazon website we
were talking about before. And then you have Zazzle
and you have Teespring. These are going to be
the bulk of the websites. Now, I'll put all of those
in a list right here, and I would recommend
screenshotting this list just so you have it on your computer. So later when you're going through this, you can know which websites to
spend your time uploading to. Now, the only thing
before we get into this, is that all of these websites, you can just create an account and start uploading right away. The only one that's going
to be different from that is Amazon's. So that Amazon Merch on
Demand, Amazon's so big, they literally get billions of people to their website every
month, not just millions. So they are a little bit more selective. So on Merch on Demand for Amazon, you're going to have to actually
apply to be a seller there. So once you finish this tutorial, you can go over to merch.amazon.com and you can basically just
go to this landing page. This means you made it to the right place. And you just click sign up. It'll have you fill out
the entire application. I'll link up a video
down in the description that you can watch that gives you tips on that application to try
to help you get accepted. But it may take about two weeks until you hear back from them
if you're accepted or not. If you don't get accepted, I highly recommend reapplying
as many times as you can until you do get accepted, because there's a lot of
sales and a lot of traffic that's going to come from being a print-on-demand seller on Amazon. So coming back to TeePublic, let's go through this upload process here. So when you start on TeePublic, just come over to the right side, go to Create an Account. And then just fill in your information and create an account. What I would recommend to you, is first and last name,
obviously, but then email address, create an email address
just for print-on-demand. That way you can log into that inbox and have all of your
print-on-demand business emails all in one place. So once you've gotten this far down, you're going to see this
little checkbox that says, "Yes, I'd like to advertise my product in off-site marketing." This is something that a lot
of these websites do for you. And basically, it's free marketing. So they will automatically kind of pull the information
from your listing and put it into
auto-created advertisements that go throughout all different
websites on the internet. So as you know, on the internet, just a crash course in this real quick, ad providers can kind of
automatically put advertisements in front of people that are
relevant to those people. So if the person is searching
for camping locations or camping jackets or
whatever that camping gear is on Google, well then once
they go over to Facebook, or once they're on a different website on YouTube or something, the camping-related advertisements will be put in front of them. So it's relevant targeting. Well, some of these websites
do that for you for free. So they will take your listing
of your camping T-shirt or whatever your topic is, and they will put that
on different websites in front of people who are
interested in those topics. Now, this is something that if you were to try
to do it on your own, you would have to pay
for that advertising, plus you'd have to learn
how to do the whole process. I've done all of that. Having this done for you is
very easy and totally free. So why not take advantage of it? So just make sure you
turn this box to Yes, it should be that way by default, and then later if you
decide for some reason, hey, I don't wanna do that anymore. I don't know why you'd do that, but you still have the
ability to turn that off later in your account. So just leave it on in the beginning, just so you don't forget about it. And then just click Create My Account. It's going to send you
a verification email, so just go verify that in
your account real quick, and then you're basically all set. So now we go back to Log In and we log in with our credentials once our account is verified. So now we have a account on
here, so we're ready to roll. That's how easy this is. So now you can go to My Account, it'll show you your earnings
here at a nice quick glance, and then you can go to Upload A Design. So the first thing it's
going to have you do is create a storefront. So this name is totally up to you. It doesn't have to be
the same as the niche, because on this website it's going to be all of your different listings
in all different topics under one storefront. Now, the cool part about this
is these different websites, they market your listings individually. So basically, if someone wants to see all of your different designs at once, they'll see your storefront. But in the vast majority of cases, they're just going to see
the one design from you that they are purchasing
because it was marketed to them, and they won't ever see
your entire storefront. So call this anything that you would like. You can be as creative as you want here. Just don't put anything
that is offensive or vulgar. It's not going to help
you out to get more sales. Now, once you've put a name in here and it says that it is
available, you're all set. You can just say, Take Me To The Uploader. So now you're basically
ready to upload your design. So all we have to do is,
as you can see it says PNG. Well how we download it from Placeit, is already in a PNG with
a transparent background, ready for us so we don't have
to change anything there. So basically, just click to
upload and then select the file that you created from Placeit. Give this just a second to load here. And then this is our design. As you can see, it's got
the transparent background, so you really can't see it, but we know from creating it
before, that it's good to go. And then we can scroll
down a little bit here and we can give it a title,
description, fill out the tags, a little bit more information, and then we can pick the colors. So let me start at the top here, because this is going to be the same on all of the different
websites you upload to. So you have to give this
a title and a description. Two important things here. So what I typically do is
have a very basic title that's going to have keywords in it of what that shirt is about. So this is a camping shirt, and the text that we put on that shirt is, Life is Better in the Woods. So that is what we wanna put in our title, that it's a camping shirt
and that the text says Life is better in the woods. That way if someone's looking for just generally a camping
shirt and they type that in, we will still show up. But if they have found
this phrase somewhere else, Life is better in the woods and they're looking through Google specifically for a shirt like
that, we will also show up. That's all I'm going to type in, because at the end of this, it's going to say T-shirt for us. So let's just copy that. I'm going to paste it
down here at the bottom. This is going to be the description. You can write out a
whole description here, basically a sentence or two just saying, this shirt is a camping shirt and it says Life is better in the woods. Get this for yourself or give it as a gift for someone who loves camping. Now, I don't personally do that because I don't see much benefit to that. I think people are buying
based on the design, not so much being talked
into it in the description. So I just put the same keywords in there. That'll help us a little bit
without going over the top. Also, by doing this, it
keeps it very efficient, so you're not spamming anyone, but you're just copy pasting
and that way it makes it easy and you can get through these
listings pretty quickly. Now, coming over to the tags over here, this is a camping shirt. So generally, I'm going
to put in the general term of what that is. If it's a tennis shirt,
you'd put in tennis here. And I don't like to go
into the specific ones here because I don't wanna get excluded from the overall topic that
people are searching for. So I'm just going to type camping. That's your one main tag. And then the rest of these
are going to be relevant tags. It'll auto pull these up for
you based on your main tag, and you can basically just select them. This is something I love about TeePublic, just makes it easy. So you can do hiking, you can do nature, all of the ones that are
going to be relevant. So as you start clicking these, all of these are very relevant. So I'm probably going to use all of these. And that's probably good right there. And then the last thing is just, Does this contain any mature content? And you'll just answer no here. I wouldn't recommend creating
any content like that. You're just going to exclude yourself or potentially get into trouble. So I wouldn't include that, especially not for
print-on-demand business. This part up top is going to be the same for the different websites. So keep that in mind. And basically, the only
thing that's going to change from the different websites, is what kind of products that
they offer and in what colors. Now, this is another important part for all of the different websites. This design that we
created was white text, and it's generally light, so you don't wanna print a white
text shirt on a white shirt because you won't be able to see it. So if you were to select white here, you can see it's just
generally really hard to see. So rather if we were to select
black or a darker color, you can see how good
this design looks on it. So what you can do is just come down here, and if you have a light
graphic, then you can say, I want it printed on dark shirts only, and it'll uncheck all of the
ones that are light shirts, which would be hard to read it on. That's just a nice feature on TeePublic. But on the other sites,
you'll manually do this. So coming back up here, you're going to choose a default color. That's another one of our settings that we have to fill out here. So for this, I'm going to choose
one of these darker shirts. I typically go with the
black or the asphalt if it is a white color shirt like this. And then we're going to do
the same for these down here. Now, if you picked a color
that's available in every item, like something like a black, all of them will be filled out for you. All of the ones that are
applicable, like the baseball tee, that's in different colors. So you wanna make sure that
it has this one, not that one, 'cause you can't see it. These are just the defaults, so basically what's going
to be shown in the listing when someone's looking for
that on the marketplace. But then once they
click in on the listing, they'll be able to choose
from any of the darks colors that we selected. So over on the right here, we
have the different products that this is going to be available on. This is what's great
about print-on-demand, is all we do is upload the
graphic, but then it's available on all of these different products. If someone likes it on a
hoodie better than a T-shirt, they can purchase it and
TeePublic will print it, ship it out to them on
this specific product in the color and size that they choose. So all of these are good.
I leave all of these on. The only things that
I'm going to turn off, and I'll show you that here, is if you come down here. And you have it on
stickers or cases or mugs, like things like that, it gets a little bit challenging here. So by and large, you're going
to sell the most of apparel, typically just T-shirts. That's going to sell by far the most. These are all extra products. And as you go to different websites, especially something like Redbubble, once you get over there, they have a ton of different products. The problem that I run into is that the products don't always fit. So if you're going to
be on a mug like this, it gets a little bit big in some cases and you have to go in and reformat it. This one probably would work. But in other cases, your graphic is kind of
spilling over the edges. So what I end up doing is I
just turn off all of these. All I want is the
T-shirts and the apparel, just because that's going
to give us the most sales. And then we don't run
into any customer issues or we don't run into
anything related to sizing on different miscellaneous products that might only be sold
one out of every 100 sales of a T-shirt. So I just make it easy for myself. I would recommend the same for you. So just like this, we
basically have already filled everything out. I'm just gonna do a once over here. We have our design with
the transparent background. We have our title, our
description, our tags, and saying that it has
no mature content on it. And then when we come down, we have all of the different products, and we have what kind
of default listing color that's going to be in. We have all the different available colors that this will be in. And then when we come down, everything else is turned off. We're just having T-shirts and apparel. So now you can say, I agree,
and you can say Publish. As you can see, just like this, you've just created a listing. So all of this is ready to go. So it says Life Is Better In
The Woods Camping T-shirt, it added the T-shirt to the end. It's made by Pro TeeShop, just
the name that I used here. This is the only place people
are going to be able to find that storefront we were talking about. But it says it's a camping T-shirt. Our description shows up right below it. And it looks nice and clean. All of the different
colors it's available in. You can choose the different kind of shirt that someone wants to purchase it in. Size, different style, and they can even switch it
to a hoodie, a kid's shirt, and then they can just click Add To Cart. The sales are going to run for you. The marketing will be
done for you off website with those off-site ads, and you don't have to do anything else. That was the whole process. If you wanted to stop right
here, you absolutely could. What I would recommend to you if you really wanna build
this into a business, is take that same design
that we just talked about, the Life is better in the woods that you have saved on your desktop, and go do this same process on the other websites we talked about. That will give you four other listings that are identical to this
one, getting organic traffic from all of those different websites. So another really important
thing to note here, is that you can be a
seller for print-on-demand anywhere in the world. So you could create the
listing just like I did, and you could live somewhere in the world and then someone could order that shirt on the other side of the world. And some of these different websites even have fulfillment
centers all around the world. So whichever one is closest to where that customer ordered from, they will print a shirt and
they will ship it from there to keep shipping times really fast. But for some of you, you
will really benefit from this because if you live in a
country that has a currency that has a really good
conversion rate to the US dollar, let's say, and then you
make a sale in the US, that profit from that shirt will get converted to your currency, which may be at a really
good multiple for you. So you may end up making
a really good profit on each one of these sales. Now generally speaking, between all of these different websites, you'll make anywhere from 2 to $10, sometimes 15 or $20 if it's a hoodie or a more expensive item
like that, per sale. So you can expect to get
some pretty good profits. And again, you don't have
to do any of the printing, shipping, nothing like that. You just get your split of the profit because you were the
creator of the design. So guys, that's it for this video. I'll put all of the links
that I talked about, the discount codes and
then also the other videos that would be helpful
in specific situations. All of those will be
down in the description. I hope this video has really helped you. Again, this is totally
free, so if you enjoyed it, just give it a thumbs up and let me know down in the comments. And I'm going to be here
to answer any questions. So hopefully, this can
get you guys started on a really good business for yourself and get you some passive income flowing. If you have any questions, just let me know down in the comments. Otherwise, I will see you
guys all in the next video.
