How to Make $6,279 A Month Selling AI Mugs on Etsy (Beginner Print on Demand Tutorial)

[@RailinX]

These are adorable! Their Ai has really improved.

[@hannahebeling]

I agree!

[@somthinwrong]

"how can I do nothing and contribute nothing while earning money?"

[@Thelawsofvitalityandhealth]

We are not telling people is that Printify charges the seller first. So it is not risk free. Imagine if 100 clients buy products from you. Printify will charge you first before the money from the clients gets into your account.

[@BirdsPawsandClaws]

Thanks for this comment. I watched another video that explained the cash flow risk you describe. It is a really important item to consider. Thanks for posting your comment to highlight this consideration and risk.

[@Thelawsofvitalityandhealth]

@@BirdsPawsandClaws It is not the about the cashflow risk but people present POD as it does not require investment. Which is completely false. The Printing company charges you first and you have to wait for the money from the client.

[@hannahebeling]

Yes, definitely something to be aware of! I have several videos that talk more in depth about all the true startup costs of POD.

[@faithmindbodysoul2001]

thank you so much for your input! I will never use Printiful and find one that doesn’t charge me first! 😢

[@VisioMaxxx]

This. It was the reason I stopped doing POD

[@JoshepGomez-c8v]

I really needed this video. I was considering awkward styles mugs

[@artg520]

I appreciate all of your videos! Do you think you can make a video about making size charts, color charts, and the importance of having them on your listings. Much love ❤️

[@denisoliveira2196]

I am Brazilian and I can say that this was the best and most comprehensive video I have watched on the subject. Thank you for sharing this knowledge with such great didactics and mastery.

[@LisasEbooks]

I love Kittl. It’s a one stop shop.

[@hannahebeling]

Totally agree!

[@northerngirlhobbies]

This was totally awesome thank you!

You're so welcome!

[@theresaoropeza1959]

Thank you !! I have watched a few of your videos and you are very thorough!

Great tutorial. Thanks. Love to sell blankets. It has a bigger profit potential.

[@johndavis8988]

Hi Hannah. I am thinking of starting an Etsy shop but would like more information about the upcoming changes. One of those i think will be to do with only using mockups from the items supplier. Can you do a video about the changes. Thank you

[@LoriHarris-qo8vn]

Wow! I've been resisting using AI and Kittle but....soooo cute 🥰

[@hannahebeling]

It's so good!

[@tizi2003]

Best video EVER! Clear and to the point with a ton of usable info and fun too. Great creator!

You are doing god's work!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭♥

[@JeffJaymes]

So market research isn’t always the way to go? Sometimes you’re just throwing things at Etsy to see what sticks?

[@claudiaromanelli6700]

This is the BEST video to help me with my Etsy store!!!!!! Thanks!

[@tracimoney-honey8545]

thanks Hannah ... IT finally clicked ... I was able to use your download to create whole series of designs

[@mojolotto7774]

Have you sold anything yet?

[@edlaurelellis2435]

I just ran across your channel today and love it. I have an ETSY store but haven't done anything in well over a year (Wife got sick). The best results I had was on one mug but that was before AI. Do you suggest having seperate stores for each item type (Mugs, T-Shirts...) or just one general store like I have now?

[@ashleyharkness2127]

I love your actionable advice you give, no fluff ;)

[@hannahebeling]

So glad you enjoy it!

[@athemjjs]

I'm gonna try out .... I've seen many videos and I think it's ok to start with this one ... and your teaching style is understandable...🎉

[@wandawoods]

This is a great tutorial and I feel like you can cross niche all day long but how do you know people are searching for these items to get them sell????

[@Makeitgreat1]

Going great for me, ive sold 4 mugs wuuhuu!!! Absolutely rolling in dow. 🤑 My life has completely changed guys 😉

[@sebbalocalizes]

Congrats! How’s everything going now?

[@hannahebeling]

So glad you think so!! Thanks!

[@yehoapwi7670]

thank you

[@beverlybelman8114]

Love your tutorials! Very easy to follow for beginners. My only question is no matter how I size my design they are off center in the mug photos in Printify. Any suggestions?

[@donnabosilkovski7580]

Awesome video as always. I use and love Kittl so much but I still always get helpful tips from your tutorials. Thanks again

[@hannahebeling]

Glad you like them!

[@wendyboland]

Any hints on how to use Kittl as quickly as you do - I can't line up the designs or check the alignment because the Settings board keeps coming over the top of the design - you do it so well

[@PattyChafatelli]

Ok so stupid question...once I have the photo and name from the customer, do I have to send the design to printify to make and ship or is it something you upload to Etsy and send to printify. My concern is the 'how' and also the need to be available all the time to create these custom designs. I am probably missing the obvious but had to ask

[@PeggyOliveiraMSW]

Thank you. It seems you have the customer pay for shipping. You haven't found the high shipping prices to be a barrier to someone purchasing? I've gone back and forth about including shipping or not. 🤔

[@corinnec4450]

Is it ok that the mug mock-up photo from Kittl is different than what is on Printify (different handle)? Have you had any complaints from customers when they get a different mug than the mock-up?

[@lydmarie444]

thank you Hannah ! i created an amazing design and listing all while watching this video . thank you so much!

[@hannahebeling]

So cool! Glad it helped!

[@michellebeausoliel2566]

This is a very helpful and thorough tutorial. Thank you so much!🎉

[@hannahebeling]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tamikasalkey-hi4el]

Thanks much Hannah for this video and for the cross niche guide. I am looking forward to using the information to help my POD business. I notice you did not research whether there was demand for this hyper specific product. Is that okay? Or should we always always check to see if there is demand first? Thanks again.

[@hannahebeling]

Thanks so much for watching! It definitely never hurts to take a few extra minutes to see the demand on a new idea!

[@heiditrombetti125]

Your tutorial has been the best I’ve found! I have an Etsy shop geared towards a very small niche. I create digital social media products and want to add a few POD products. I’m going to use your discount for Kittl, and would like to know what plan you used to create the designs for your mugs in this video. Thanks in advance!

[@BoReads]

I have made a mug with a watercolor cardinal I painted a while back. This is very informative as well thank you, although I may stick to just my own designs because I enjoy them. :)

[@John-gy1vv]

Hello I had a question, if the Etsy fee is 2.00 and cost of mug is 4.00, 6$ total you sell for 12.99 you profit 6$? I’m confused, isn’t that just your money back?

[@maryhimebaugh6390]

You buy a mug for 4$. you sell it for $12.99. You now have $12.99 . You made( profit)$8.99. So in the case of the fee you go home with $10.99. You made an extra $6.99

[@suki9317]

Maybe this is a dumb question but what about copy rights involving AI? Is there such a thing?

[@NiaLaLa_V]

I read about that often and I will continue to look it up regularly because we are in uncharted waters.

[@suki9317]

Hello, I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but. After this entire process, after the sale is made by the customer, how is printing or shipping done? I'm really a beginner, I loved your video and I've already subscribed to your channel

Thank you for the content so that I can continue to support your channel! ;) I mirrored that thought just the way you mirror those mugs lol

[@joelhopkins5247]

Can you do a video on how you market these mugs? That would be really helpful

[@Velvet-n3l]

Just found your channel and subscribed. I tried opening a second etsy shop for my digital products and they shut it down before I could post my first product. I did use a different email. Am I missing something about opening a second shop?

[@ifeifesi]

You can open a second shop but Etsy are being odd in that their bots are shutting them down in minutes. Have you tried appealing their decision? If not, try doing so.

[@Velvet-n3l]

Thank you :)@@ifeifesi

[@NiaLaLa_V]

Shutting down new accounts is something a lot of online businesses do, to combat bots. Video games do it too and we have to appeal and prove we didn't cheat when we killed the new boss sooner than they believe we could legally.

I'm going to keep trying with AI. Thank You very much

[@bobbeeson8284]

Good video hannah, my only concern was after Kittle created my first image it was completely incapable of producing any more in the same style. It's taken me two days to find an AI that will do it, thumbs up to Adobe's Firefly, especially as I got a whole bunch done before using all my free credits, including upscaling.

sadly, Kittl isn't working right now -- server issues. Hopefully they'll be up and running again soon -- can't wait to try

[@LifeHasLessons]

Question, I’m having an issue with editing only black color T-shirts with white color text without changing the rest of the T-shirt colors with a black text when I go edit specific color and press safe product and Printify it changes the color white on the T-shirt colors instead of only changing the black color T-shirt

You have resurrected my desire to do mugs. I thought faith based mugs and patriotic ones would be a place I could settle in…I have sold to some of my church ladies but not to the general public. I have gotten views and visits but no sales. I use Canva and have purchased a year membership so don’t want to spend money on Ki right

[@jessicameisner8487]

Nice video and useful Hannah! Quick question. For mug price at $12.99 is that incl. the shipping fee from printify or is that added in somewhere else? I plan to start a POD co in Q3 in addition to the handmade store I’ve been working on for a year.

[@morielmoshe3138]

thanks for a great video. when printify sends the item to the customer, what does the packaging look like? does it say it comes from printify? is there a way to private label their shipping box and labels so that they don't mention it was created by them? thanks

@@beccatibbs9854yes I see what you’re saying. I guess I feel like someone searching for French bulldog might find the listing with chess but is not a chess player so they keep scrolling.

But then I end up in super saturated niches 🤪

​@@staciphelps4034 Ppl won't search about things like that, even if they did you have many competitors why would the buy from you? ....

[@thegenxproject5941]

Concerning costs. If you are selling directly on Etsy does printify charge Etsy account for the sale or your personal account? Seeing Etsy holds the purchase income for whatever you choose. If that makes any sense?

[@mattchristie1810]

Great ... but as someone who's just started on Etsy, I'm aware listing fees are minimal. But when you start to throw hundreds of templates at these things, listing fees soon add up with no guarantee of sales. Is there somewhere better to list for free? There's a definite loss there at the start and I don't know how many out there are making the big numbers claimed on these videos. It may be possible, with a lot of time and a little luck, but the majority I think will not get so far.

[@MsTeryStalker]

Yeah every 100 listings is $60 per year. I have 300+, so that's $240. Making sales doesn't equal profit either. I price my mugs at $15.95 each and have the buyer pay for shipping and if I profit $5, it's amazing. But let's be real, if you're charging $20+ for a mug, it'd better be pretty special.

[@mugstore99]

I completely apologize for that comment. I didn’t mean that I’m bummed out that you’re doing so well I’m thrilled for you and for all the successful sellers. I’m just struggling no sob story but single parent two kids and I’m trying to support a house and like everybody else, everything is tight and I thought I could, do this and make some money I’m not looking for six figures. I know that that’s probably crazy but I just see all the videos from Etsy Seller and you know they say I just made $10,000 a month selling this one T-shirt or I’m sure you know what I’m talking about just seeing thevideo headlines and just hoping it’s gonna come our way.
