Thank you, Sarah, for this video. Is it possible to create this using only Canva? It is a bit overwhelming for a beginner like myself to learn all the tools you use in this video and also to cut down on cost because most of the tools you use cost money.
Thank you Sarah. Super useful! Quick question: how does one avoid similarities with other designs already on sale? I know it is a "long shot" for AI to recreate to exact designs, but still, is there an easier method than just browsing Etsy to check the designs? Thank you and keep posting that great content.
You don't get the amount of money from Amazon that you're saying. You just get the profit beyond the cost of the t-shirt. For example, one month, I had a design that sold great - lucked out - sold about 70. I made about a $4/shirt profit above the cost of the shirt. You should give people that information, not MISINFORMATION. They will NOT get the entire $17.99 for a shirt that sells for that amount.
@@JazzMaster01 It may be obvious to you or I but if you are making a guide you need to say that. The assumption should be that your audience know nothing about it or they wouldn't be watching a guide.
It's logical, amazon is your partner. So you get a profit but not the full prize. But I agree they should say that honestly in video's. I can understand if ppl thought they would receive full amount it is a big dissappointment.
These kinf of videos can be inspirational but also at the same time depressing if you are trying these ideas, trying to set up your own shops on Etsy, Amazon or wherever and you getting nowhere. It's so depressing to see it made out to be so easy and all these success stories of people making thousands and thousands each month and you are struggling to get 1 sale and feel like you are missing out and not able to be a part of that.
The biggest problem is, she never did these, no real experience, just know the basic steps to create. (She leaves out so much). She is a real e-commerce guru
Actually, I do use this in my own stores and products and I even made another video on the cross idea formula I have been using here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M9ZOiqxuMsg.htmlsi=l-193i34YpiIWQo3 I do apply this also to ai art and I particularly like to use AI art if no clip art can fill the gap that I need, and I use chatgpt extensively for slogans like this, but still, people will come up with stuff about me that isn't true and I have come to peace with the fact that I can't stop it 🙏
Why not offer a Pay What You Want Workshop to create one of these projects for those who are curious about or currently struggling with how to use the A.I. tools in the way you demonstrated in this video? Collect testimonials from that and continue to serve and build. :) By the way, in my opinion, if anyone watching this isn't actively learning how to make A.I. work for them then they are missing out on claiming their share of a massive opportunity!
@alicewondering4295 real question is, what makes you assume that and why? Sarah is well known in the industry and is hugely successful. So why the hostility? It doesn't reflect well on you.
I want to say Midjourney gives you the option of creating images strictly for your own use even for selling as a digital image, which is the most restrictive license for most content creators. So, just make sure you are ensuring that the AI package you are using provides that license. It’s usually for a pretty penny, but worth it if you’re an active content creator.
You always make everything seem so easy and you apparently make a lot of money every time but for some of us its not that easy..please tell us the real truth about how to make money..I feel too many people reel others in through lies and deceit and about how much money they really make..no body really gives away the secrets to making money because they want to make it all for themselves..
What a great video! I stopped watching you a while back because I thought you were just giving ideas with no clear instructions. I stumbled upon you again about a week ago and I am pleased and amazed at how instructive and informative and clear your information is now! Thank you so much and keep it up! I have resubscribed to your channel.😊
Thank you very much for your informative videos, really helpful! Sorry, this is off topic but one thing I’m confused about is setting up taxes for my store. I’m from NZ and I’ve just started POD with Printify and Printful (selling on Etsy) and I have no idea how to set this up. I haven’t made any sales yet. Is this something I need to set up, or should I just factor this in to my pricing when deciding what to charge? If so, how much should I add on to my price?
The opportunity is real, but those unicorn designs don't sell that much, estimations are wrong since Amazon moved most of the best sellers shirts to an ecological category, BSRs are screwed. A more realistic number is about 1000 usd per month for the whole set of unicorns design. I love your videos and keep the good work !!
I admire your dedication. I'm freelancer and I only finish projects if it's for someone else. If it's my personal project it's never good enough and I keep making making excuses to not finish it.
I can honestly appreciate that! Excellence is the key to making money. But excellence isn't perfection, it is what is excellence to the customer. Striking that balance is key!
Sarah, you rock so hard!! Thank you!! I'm trying to transition into a WFH situation, so the more I learn and the more passive income streams I have, the better! 😘
Because I wanted to remove my background before upscaling, and its actually faster to remove the background in Adobe, rather than with Canva, as they didn't have an upscaler while filming this video. It's quicker to use Canva if you're already designing a picture in it, but since I needed to do more to the image, it was faster to use Adobe. Canva's background remover is actually fairly slow, my guess is it's just a server issue.
Then either you pre-pay your credit card to have a positive balance anticipating your sales volume or request additional credit from your lending institution or bank. The printing company will not fulfill your order if not paid upfront. Etsy usually also holds customer payments for a certain time period before remitting them back to you so you really need a start up fund to operate your business until the transactions are running smoothly.

Hi Sara😊Is it better to stick to one niche on etsy when it comes to selling t-shirts or can I do different niches?And can I add some mugs on my shop even if i sell only t-shirt, or it will have a bad effect somehow ex. for t-shirt niches 1.Fishing 2.Cats, dogs, parrots etc 3.Jobs 4.musicians and so on
I once noticed your reply about creating popular videos that many other RU-vidrs have made . You said You avoid this due to algorithm ? Could You explain this . I know You don’t make videos about how to grow on RU-vid . You have been super successful Any chance You would ?
Fantastic insights on leveraging AI for t-shirt design! 🚀 The cross-idea formula not only sparks creativity but can significantly cut down the time from concept to market, allowing designers to capitalize on trends swiftly and effectively.
Sarah have you noticed Monster Digital quality has taken a hit? Their rating in the 8s now. Curious, do you have a back up provider? Thanks in advance!
Hey do you work with influencers? Is there a way to give a influencers a “key word” can’t think of the right term, to input so when working with multiple influencers I know whose followers made the purchase?
Hey Sarah I really like everything you share with us on these videos. You are a true pro at it unlike myself who doesn't even have the confidence to get this going part of the reason is because the market right now is saturated with AI content and that is discouraging!
Thank you. Something I think that is good to keep in mind though is the market is not "saturated" with ai products, because it can't be. It's impossible for it to be. Ai is simply a tool to help you create products. Saturation is a niche problem, it isn't an AI problem. Some niches are more "saturated" than others. Even then, all that means is that those niches are more competitive than others, not that they are saturated in the sense they can't be broken into. It just means the standard for product creation in those niches is higher. It just means in those niches customers have more choices so only sell in them if you think the products you create, with or without ai, are better than what exists. If you don't think you can create products better than the competition in competitive niches, pick less competitive niches. 🙏
You could've done background removal with your Photoshop clone app. It's called the magic wand tool and you just save it as a PNG. You could've also created that distress texture in Photoshop if you knew how to make brushes.
Hi Sarah! I like your videos and they are super helpful, thank you. I am just wondering if I can open up an Etsy store here in the Philippines and sell in the US? Your response is greatly appreciated, thank you and God bless you more!
At the very end, the distressed bits appeared to still be on backround as well not just the dog and text. Though visible here how is it it doesnt print on the shirt? Thanks for the vid and all your knowledge. Its been interesting over the last few days binging your videos and learning.
Thank you! That is just an illusion due to the transparent background. When exported it will print just like it did at 14:00 - that was the final exported image uploaded onto that shirt 🌞
@@WholesaleTed I've made several designs in Canva, but I have never increased the resolution to the max. Can you explain why you do that? Do I need to redo all of my designs and increase the resolution and resave them? Most of my designs are either 4500 x 5400 for t-shirts or 9.3 inches x 8.2 inches for tumblers if that helps. Thanks
Hey Sara, I tried to purchase the ecourse for the 1$ and it wouldn't allow me to purchase it. 😢 I was really hoping to start but I'm unsure how to start I was really hoping that I could start!
It’s great, but posting designs is not enough, it’s only a few more drops in an ocean of tees, no matter how beautiful they are, the most difficult thing is how to find buyers! With The AI, everyone can create tees, but what do we have to do to sell, then? Do you have tips about how to make money-magnet ads, how to handle social media?
No, because "money magnet ads" are honestly, in my opinion, overrated as a traffic strategy for new stores. Instead, understanding the new product boost algorithm is the key to success on Etsy and other similar platforms which also now have it. And I have a dedicated video to they topic 🙏 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v3jE2qNt3I8.htmlsi=LrfRt6OxyHBAvDgo
And also... who told you designs weren't enough? Designs ARE enough. They are the #1 best traffic strategy IMO for platforms with viral algorithm. Great designs sell because thanks to the new product boost, all products get given a chance. And because customers will always naturally gravitate towards great designs, coming up with unique designs is the best way IMO to stand out as a new seller. I also have a video dedicated to that topic: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M9ZOiqxuMsg.htmlsi=oKhdmBxcCmKho0cr

Kia ora Sarah, I see you don't have a lot of Maori RU-vidrs following your amazing, awesome videos, I have been following you for some time now, and your array of ideas that can earn some serious putea are just great. I love the fact that you give the information freely in all your videos, you have an amazing following and so you should, because you have helped so many including myself.

Acronyms are abbreviations spoken like words: NASA, RADAR, LASER and LIGO. If you're spelling it, it's just an abbreviation or initialism: CIA, WtF, LotR etc.
I love all your videos. I actually learn so much and use the ideas you present to utilize them in my own ways. I have way too many notes from all the content i have absorbed lately : P
Hi Sarah, Love your videos! Quick question-if you are setting up an Etsy store in Australia using printify should you change your default Etsy store currency to match printify to US dollars? I’ve noticed when you publish from printify to Etsy it won’t do conversions for you. So US 23 will come across to Etsy as AUS 23. Cheers, Clare
HI! I'M CONFUSED. I FORGOT HOW I WORDED IT BUT I ASKED CHATGPT IF WE COULD MAKE MONEY USING STORY BOOKS THAT CHATGPT MADE FOR US TO MAKE MONEY & IT SAID THAT WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO USE ANYTHING FROM AI NOR CHATCPT... I JUST WENT BACK TO ASK & NOW IT'S SAYING YES. I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO TROUBLE NOR GET SUED. CAN U PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF WE CAN? I TOOK A SCREENSHOT OF THE ANSWER WHEN IT SAID NO BUT CAN'T FIND IT. PLEASE HELP. THANK U.
Except your "secret step" doesn't work. In your video the distressed background is also applied to the transparent areas (little dark splotches all over the gray/white)......
Yes, this works. Yes, the same effect is applied to the transparent background as you have visually seen, but because the background is transparent already, it is irrelevant - there is no color to remove. Therefore, while it is applied to the entire canvas, it is only relevant to the areas that actually have color. You can try it for yourself, for free, to see that yes this works 🙏
Hey Sarah. I’ve tried this before but I never got any customers. Any ideas how to get more interaction. Is it the product which may be bad or something I’ve done in the title. Thanks
It's probably the products, honestly! Clever products get clicks. Your thumbnail picture and thus your design is the biggest factor of success on Etsy due to the New Product Boost algorithm which I discuss in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v3jE2qNt3I8.htmlsi=WIbbEJa6pycA2GWr
