[Music]
next
so welcome back to the video my friends
my name is jay and if you are new here

step by step guides
teaching you exactly how to build up
your online business
by creating digital products that will

we are learning how to actually create
designs that will sell in
etsy so if you love things like these
consider subscribing to the channel
and at any time you are getting value
from this video please
make sure you give me a like because
that helps this channel out a lot so
let's jump into
the video all right so where we're gonna
be spending our time today
is in canva so if you don't know
anything about canva or how to get there
i'm going to leave a link in my
description box below that would take
you right there
you sign up it is free to use and so we
are going to use that version today now
just to preface this
tutorial i am using the paid version of
canva so what that basically means is
i get certain templates i get certain
fonts that i use and certain images
however
canva has a lot of free things you can
use on here so i don't want you to be
scared that i'm using the paid version
because again if you are using the free
version i have created tons of shirts
and sold tons of shirts using the free
version
so if you are new here jump on let's
jump in and let's go ahead and get
started
so here's what you want to do you first
want to go over to t-shirt exactly what
i did here
you want to find the t-shirt templates
and actually click one that really
brings inspiration to you the way that i
think about this is i know when i create
a t-shirt i'm not going to create it
from scratch
however i am going to change up what's
already there
and make it my own so again don't try to
work from a blank canvas
i have videos where i teach you how to
create things from blank cameras that
can actually sell
however for this video tutorial my goal
is to just to show you
how to create a shirt how to mock up a
shirt and how to
lift up a shirt so again you want to
search up shirts
in canva because that give you the
proper size
for your particular template and so
again we're going to go
here and mess around a little bit with
this and so the first thing that you
want to do is that
if you notice this entire design is
grouped up together right so i'm going
to zoom in a little bit
this whole design is just grouped up
together and working with it right now
might be a little challenging so a
little
easy tip to let you know how to get out
of that is you can just click on this
and hit
ungroup and what ungroups allows you to
do is ungroup all of these items in our
picture
where you can manipulate each individual
one now again if you know
that hey you want to use all of the
things that you just created simply
highlight it and hit
group again and i have a video of
shortcuts if you guys want to know how
to do this
in a shortcut way but for right now
that's the way we're going to do it
[Music]
today
all right so this is our t-shirt we just
made in kev again our goal today is not
to create a t-shirt from scratch
however i do want to show you my process
of how i actually listen my tv search on
etsy so say
if this is our t-shirt that we're using
what you want to do
is actually name your search now there
are a lot of people
i know who just hit download and they go
but i am a firm believer
in that you have to make sure everything
is organized because if you are trying
to start a business you want to make
sure that you can find what you need to
find
when you need to find it so i want to
name this i
am uh 2 kids shirt and that's what we're
going to do today is a kid shirt
i want to go ahead and download this and
when you download this you want to
download this as a png file
just if you have a background just hit
transparent now again this is a part of
the pay version
but i have another video showing you how
you can make any template or any
correction you design
with a transparent background but for
today i'm going to hit transparent
and i'm going to hit download file and
that's going to download right to my
computer
and then i'm going to show you the next
step of how i'm actually able to mock
this up all right so our next step that
we're going to do today is now mock up
the shirt now
if you are new to my channel i teach you
guys several different ways you can mock
up a shirt but today
we're going to use the website called
place it place it is a great
platform for you to mock up just not
shirts but any digital item you have
created
and so again if you guys want to check
out how i use place it make sure you
look at the link in the description box
below because you're going to find the
place it link but also my deep dive
tutorial of how i'm able to use place it
for many different things but for today
our goal is just simply
to mock up a shirt so let's jump into
our mock-up
all right so we are in placer right now
and the first thing you want to do is go
up to
mock-ups and again they have a ton of
different mock-ups you can use but again
you want to check out that video of how
i walk through
each mock-up make sure you check out my
channel and my link down below
but for right now we're going to go over
to t-shirts now one thing i do like
about using this website place it
is that it gives you a lot of cool
filters you can
actually use to find your style that you
want to use again when i create t-shirts
on canva i try to use two types of
images to display my design
i try to use a flat lay but i also try
to find a real model to
wear my shirt so that people know
exactly how that shirt will look
on them when they purchased it from me
so i'm going to go ahead and right now
find a flat lace shirt and again on the
left hand side of
place that you can actually filter all
of these out that you can find exactly
what you need
so if you are new to place it they do
have a couple free designs you can
actually use right now but for this
tutorial i am using the pay version
but again there are multiple free
mock-ups you can use so check out the
site so you know what is free
but in our case today i want to find a
good mock-up that will bring out my
design
and it is a kid's shirt so i want to
find something that is relatable to a
kid
and so i'm going to use this one because
it's free so i think this would be a
pretty good
mock-up to use so one of the things i
like about places that you are able to
add several different things to your
mock-up like text
change the shirt color in the background
color to your image and so
it is a really good website to use if
you are creating multiple colored shirts
but for our case today we are just going
to upload one shirt and so lets go ahead
and do that now so we are going to go
ahead and mock up our shirt now the way
you do that
is simply go to insert image and find
wherever
your design is and upload that design to
this mock-up
so our image is uploaded but before we
get it mocked up on our shirt we do have
an option to crop
the design but i think it's good where
it is and so we're going to go ahead and
hit the crop
button so again one thing i love about
placer is that again if i know that my
design is not standing out like i
created to do that i know that i can
test out different colors just
by a click of a button and i can see how
it looks in white
how it looks in black or
how it looks in blue you know you have
the option of seeing how your design
looks in different colors which i think
is a great feature to have
but for this particular design i'm going
to go ahead and leave it in the blue
that we have because i think that really
pops out
now just from a design perspective i can
realize that the pink is a little bit
too strong in the background
but again the reason why i love using
place it is because you are able to make
anything stand out that you feel is not
placed well so again if i believe that
my background was a little too pink
i can change it to actually make the
shirt pop out and i think this is a
pretty good style we have right here
so we have created our design in canva
and we mopped it up using place it so
the only thing we have to do now is
download the image
and move on to our next step actually
list this product
in essie so before we list our shirt in
seo i want to just talk a little bit
about connecting your
printful account to your etsy account
that is a major point in how we're going
to move forward today
so if you have not created a printful
account or you don't know how to connect
your printful account
to your etsy store then make sure you
guys check out my other videos because i
walk you through step-by-step
how to do that so make sure you connect
your printful account
to your etsy account so if you did that
already then let's jump back into our
video all right so now i'm back in sc
and i'm going to show you exactly how
you can list your t-shirt
on etsy that we just created so what i'm
going to do i'm going to go and actually
find
my mock-up design so our t-shirt mock-up
is now
in etsy and this is how it's going to
look when people search for the shirt
however
what i tend to do is i tend to bring the
design
more in focus so that people can see how
the shirt actually looks
before they open it up on my account so
again i have it saved here
now i'm going to go to my next step and
actually create
the title for my shirt alright so my
title for my etsy listing is kids number
birthday shirt
birthday shirt happy birthday shirt kid
birthday shirt happy
second birthday and if you guys have not
checked out my other videos
of how i'm able to get this title
because this title has a lot of major
keywords in here
make sure you guys check out my other
video because i taught you guys exactly
what keywords to use to actually get
your product listing
searched up in etsy so if you want to
check that video out make sure you guys
check out my link below because again
i'll teach you exactly
how you are able to find these titles
that are
full of keywords all right so we have
the title of our particular t-shirt here
we actually have the mock-up of our
t-shirt
and the next thing that we're going to
do is actually go to the description now
etsy is not like youtube right with
youtube they have told us that hey we
want to put all the keywords
in our description so that we can come
up and search however
etsy is not like that as he is all about
making sure that the title is right as
well as the keyword is right
and the whole description is for the
potential buyers so
this whole box that we have here this is
where you speak to the potential buyer
now
do not be like other people that fill
this whole section out with paragraphs
and
all this type of stuff that people
really don't want to read right they're
not reading a book they're reading about
your shirt
and so if you can keep it down to maybe
four or five bullet points of giving
them information
about your shirt this will help increase
your sales so i have given you guys some
key points you want to put
on your description so that people know
exactly about your shirt
and that's the name of the shirt the
quality of your shirt
the size of your shirt the shipping time
of your shirt and
any personalizations or further
information you think is needed
regarding your shirts all right so i
have created all of the keywords that
i'm going to use for this particular
listing
again i teach you guys exactly how to
create these keywords because the
keyword should match
exactly what you have in the title once
you guys find that winning title
you want to put those same keywords in
your keyword section or your tag section
so i'm going to walk through these for
you i have birthday shirt happy birthday
tea
kid birthday shirt happy second birthday
shirt because that is our
number four shirt second birthday shirt
second birthday tea all these key words
are
so important so don't feel like well i
already put t-shirts so i don't got to
put t
no because some people just search up t
some people search up the letter t
dash shirt so you want to have all that
as much as possible in here
kids number shirt birthday number t
second birthday
kids birthday gift again that's a part
of our whole theme here
birthday shirt kids custom kids shirt
birthday shirt child so you want to
cover all of those key words that are
exactly
in our particular title so again if
someone is looking up happy birthday
shirt for a second-year-old our second
child's birthday then we know that our
shirt will come up because our shirt
is covering everything with the number
two now again if you are making multiple
shirts like seven year old eight year
olds then you want to change that number
and actually put that number in your
tags however for
our particular listing today i think
this is a great way to start off
and to test and see if these keywords
work so a little secret of how you guys
are able to make more sales on essie
is to duplicate this listing right so
when you create this shirt like we have
here
and you have all this information laid
out and you did your keyword research
and everything like that that i taught
you guys in my other videos
the secret of making more money on etsy
is you want to create multiple listings
of the same shirt and then guess what
use a different title
and use different keywords you keep the
same design
but you're using different information
because then you are able to test to see
okay what keywords
work best for this particular design and
once you see a shirt getting more views
getting more favorites getting more add
to carts and getting more purchases
then you know this whole keyword section
here is golden
so again a little tip is duplicate the
listing that you have
at least two or three times keep the
design the same however use
a different title with different
keywords and your tags and see how well
that particular listing does
uh against the one that you just made so
