this video we're going to look at a new
secret method where you can get prints
just like this one done right here and
then go on to make money just like this
guy right here with over 3
500 sales at 20 each where you will not
have to be doing the printing or
packaging yourself you won't need an
audience to sell to and you won't even
have to make the photos yourself either
so this method is going to be fairly
straightforward but we do the research
first to find out what products what
types of photos what prints are selling
and then we're going to actually get the
photos for free make them look real good
and then get them printed on another
website then when we have the prints
we're going to sell them on another site
and if you stick around long enough i'll
tell you about a bonus an additional
means of getting traffic to your store
as well as another way that you can make
money with selling photos the site
you're gonna head over to is etsy.com
understand the process of figuring out
what photos are selling now not only
this can be done with photos but it can
also be done with paintings as well now
we're going to look for something like
sunsets sunset framed prints so these
are selling as you can see this this guy
has over 448 reviews at 20 dollars each
and then the majority of times not
everybody who purchases something would
leave a review so it's probably double
this amount probably almost a thousand
sales a thousand times nineteen dollars
that's roughly nineteen thousand dollars
so for the sake of this experiment we're
just gonna use sunset frame prints now
that we know we're gonna be using sunset
frame prints now we have to find
pictures of sunsets
now i know you're probably wondering
that how you're gonna use photos for
free and sell them there usually a lot
of issues with commercial licensing and
getting sued for using people's photos
and this is not going to be using stock
photography either what we're going to
be using are photos that are in the
public domain which means that you can
use these photos you can modify them and
you can also sell them legally and we're
gonna use one website here to get those
photos we're gonna head over to a site
called rawpixel.com
where there's a lot of free photos but
what you're gonna do is hit the public
domain because that is the type of
photos that we would like to sell so we
want to make sure that it is in the
public domain and as you can see right
here there's a little explanation on
exactly what that means clearly states
here that they're making these pictures
available to you to use as you like with
a creative common license and when you
click the creative common license you
can see that there's no copyright here
you can modify distribute and perform
the work even for commercial purposes
all without even asking permission so
that is the type of photos that we want
to get so we want to make sure we're
finding a sunset in the public domain so
you just search for sunset oh this is
cool and this one looks nice so we're
just going to click that and you can see
right up here that this one is in the
public domain so you're going to want to
just hit the free download button
quickly register for free and get and
get this image on your computer you may
be prompted to register for one of the
premium accounts but you don't need that
to do this method you just hit next or
skip so once you download the image just
like this you then head over to a site
called pixlr which is which is step 2
pixlr.com where you open the image that
you just downloaded
right here choose full hd hit apply and
this site is really cool you don't have
to register
nothing like that you just head over to
pixlr.com and you can just start editing
the photo but you don't what we're going
to do is make it look better but don't
worry you're not going to be doing any
editing you're just going to hit one
button here after all two buttons after
you choose adjustment you just choose to
auto pop and the next thing you'll want
to do is head over to filter by then
detail and just hit sharpen you can
there's a little preview on the back
here you could just you could simply
just read it a little bit you don't want
to go all the way there because i would
ruin the photo so you're just going to
carry it up a little bit and then hit
apply there's not much to do here this
is an important step because we're going
to be using this image as well to
showcase the photo the photo print that
we have for sale over on etsy so once
we're done you just hit file and export
image as png save it and now for step
three you're gonna head over to a site
called
printful on printful is where we can
create and sell custom products online
so how printful works is you have your
online store in our case it would be
etsy where we would have the photos for
sale when somebody places an order
printful would then fulfill that order
by printing it and shipping it to the
customer in this case they would be
shipping it to etsy and then etsy would
be shipping it to the customer on the
homepage just hit products head down to
home and living and you can see here
there there's wall arts posters frame
posters canvas prints so you can choose
any one of those options and just to be
clear when you hit integrations under
online marketplaces you'll see etsy
where there will be all of the
instructions as to what you need to do
to connect this to your etsy store by
simply hitting connect etsy store so of
course sign up for a free account to get
started and for the next step now is
where you head over to your etsy store
you register and create an account for
free i'll just log into mine here you
choose to create a shop and when you hit
go into your shop manager you want to
add a listing the photo is the first
thing that somebody would see when
they're browsing and that's why we
wanted to make sure that that looked
really nice so here's the photo that we
retouched to make that make it look
really good because of course this is
the first thing that somebody would see
when they when they're browsing to buy
something you may run into some
challenges here as it relates to
dimensions on the photos but you don't
need to worry about that you can just
come here and just click crop photo to
exactly what they would like it to be
and once you're done with that you just
hit save and move on if you can get a
slideshow done easily for free on a site
like canva that would be really cool to
upload here because videos usually push
a product a lot just as much or maybe
more than a photo does so once you make
sure that printful is is integrated with
etsy you have to have a new listing
which would be that photo that we just
refined and made it look really good for
print this brings us to the next step
which is getting traffic to the store
because that is how you're going to make
sales and there's several ways that we
could look at this you could look at
paid advertising or you could look at
organic means through social media cons
whether it's tick tock youtube facebook
but we're going to keep things simple by
just using etsy.com so you have to keep
in mind that the more money you make is
the more money that etsy makes so these
profiles here are promoted by etsy
because they're making sales and when
they make sales etsy makes sales as well
and even as a new seller on etsy you
could make sales however you have to put
some things in place to build that trust
for etsy to actually promote your
product and in order to do that
customers need to buy and leave reviews
but before they actually take a purchase
on a new seller you need to get their
attention and you're going to get their
attention by having a captivating
thumbnail something to click the title
has to be something that they're
searching for and you can't compete with
broad terms like just sunset because
they may have a lot of people already
having sunset photos so you want to be a
little bit more specific and you want to
have your your product been in a little
bit lower competition so for example you
want to type sunset not just sunset but
sunset over something lake river a
mountain let's see what shows up because
this will show up what people is
searching for sunset over
mountains so you can see sunset over
mountains shows up here and there's less
competition but there's still a lot of
seals but this way you're in a smaller
pool of competition where you can rank
higher and as you build the trust with
customers at etsy it's you will rank
your products higher in the search
engine and then you may be able to
eventually rank for higher more broad
things like just sunsets so we're going
to leverage on the etsy algorithm to get
those first initial sales by making sure
that we have a captivating thumbnail
title you can even add a video
in your listing here to make sure that
you you're a step above the wrist and
that could easily be done in an app like
canva where you can just drop in a few
images and create a slideshow you don't
have to worry about how you're going to
come up with the information as it
relates to your listings because in the
listing details etsy pretty much guides
you here so right before i head into the
bonus let's just do a quick recap of
these steps so far so step one is where
you search on etsy for a print that is
selling
once you find something that you want to
proceed with you then head over to
rawpixel.com in step two where you you
hit public domain and search for the
type of image that you want to download
and then in step 3 you head over to
pixlr.com pixlr.com
you hit file open image and you simply
just hit adjustment and hit adjustment
auto pup auto adjust head over to filter
hit details and then you can click
sharpen and then in step 4 you head over
to printful.com where you get the
products printed for you and shipped to
etsy in step 5 you head over to etsy.com
and optimize your new listing your new
photo print that you're going to be
selling on the site and you're using
etsy traffic to get to that new product
you're not going to use any other
traffic source and then we optimize that
listing by putting in the right photos
or maybe a video and all of the
information here that you need in order
to rank even as a brand new seller
okay so you've waited long enough for
this bonus so once you set up this
system and you start making sales you
may want to eventually start scaling
that and you can do that by a form of
paid advertising right here on etsy or
you can try a different type of product
like 3d designs which people are making
a lot of money from where i made a video
about it right here where you can take
everything that you learned in this
video and take those tips in that other
video and merge your two ideas together
for the best success so i'll see you
over there
