Full transcript
- 0:00You know, it blows my mind how I'm able
- 0:02to sell the most boring digital
- 0:04products, PDFs, and sell that using
- 0:07Claude. And I'm going to show you the
- 0:09numbers that I'm making every week. It's
- 0:11It's actually crazy, guys. Check this
- 0:12out. As you guys can see, in the last 7
- 0:14days, July 1st to July 7th, 4.8k.
- 0:17Refresh, so it's real, guys. Pretty
- 0:19crazy what's possible. So, when I say I
- 0:21sell boring PDFs, this is what the
- 0:23business model looks like. Inside these
- 0:27PDFs that I sell, they are PNG images.
- 0:31I'm basically selling images packaged
- 0:34into a PDF. The delivery model to the
- 0:37customer is via PDF. This business model
- 0:40is known as a PNG shop. I have an online
- 0:44shop that sells PNG images delivered via
- 0:48PDF. I'm going to show an example and go
- 0:51a bit further what that looks like. And
- 0:53basically, how this works is take a
- 0:56look. This is an example of a
- 0:58successful, really successful store
- 1:01doing exactly that, making seven
- 1:04figures. You thought my figures are
- 1:05good? You know, I'm doing 5k weeks,
- 1:07sometimes more. This is what a
- 1:10multi-million dollar store looks like.
- 1:12It's called North Prints. Take a look
- 1:14here. They're on the Etsy platform. They
- 1:16sell on Etsy. And all they sell, as you
- 1:18can see here, are uh three to
- 1:20five-dollar digital downloads. So, when
- 1:24someone buys this art, okay? If we
- 1:26scroll down here, they are shipping to
- 1:28the customer a digital file in the form
- 1:30of a PDF. Meaning, every time a customer
- 1:33pays three to five dollars for something
- 1:35on this store,
- 1:37they're going to get these prints in a
- 1:39PDF that that they can then go and print
- 1:42it out themselves and put it in a frame.
- 1:44There is a huge market for this stuff
- 1:45where buyers print out files. They buy
- 1:48the designs from you, and then they go
- 1:50and print it out themselves. Before you
- 1:52ask yourself who would do this, the
- 1:53proof is here, guys. Focus on the fact
- 1:55that this market exists and how you can
- 1:58take part in it. And guys, look, every
- 2:00single day people buy these and they
- 2:02print it out themselves and they frame
- 2:04it. It's fun. It's a fun craft hobby. We
- 2:06are capitalizing on that.
- 2:08Now, you're wondering, you don't need to
- 2:10be an artist, you don't need design
- 2:12skills. All of these stores are actually
- 2:14leveraging the power of AI technology to
- 2:17make AI generated arts in the file type
- 2:20of a PNG and put that into a PDF to
- 2:23deliver to the customer. So, the end
- 2:25goal is to have a successful store like
- 2:27this that makes millions of dollars,
- 2:29right? That's my goal. That should be
- 2:31your goal. And the cool thing about this
- 2:33is, you know, we look here, they have
- 2:351,700 listings. Your goal is to have
- 2:39a bunch of listings that make really
- 2:41good money. So,
- 2:43you can easily, in one niche, you can
- 2:46easily have two different types of PNGs,
- 2:48okay? There's clip art, which is what
- 2:51people will buy to print out for on
- 2:53their wedding invitations, their baby
- 2:55showers, their kids' room, the
- 2:57wallpaper, tablecloths, cake toppers.
- 3:00They buy clip art, they print it out.
- 3:01Or, the example I showed you, art
- 3:03prints, where they buy your PNG files
- 3:05and they go print it out themselves to
- 3:07frame specifically on a wall, okay? Now,
- 3:10yes, $4 to $5, $5 to $9. It's not much
- 3:14money, but you have to realize this is a
- 3:16passive business. When you set
- 3:18everything up one time, it sells for you
- 3:21passively as a system. You don't have to
- 3:22do any work. So, in volume, it's a
- 3:25numbers game.
- 3:26You actually end up making a lot of
- 3:27money. Now, if you have two good
- 3:30listings like this that are best sellers
- 3:32passively selling for you every day, 30,
- 3:3540, 50, 100 units a day at these price
- 3:37points, you can easily make on on two
- 3:40good listings 1,500 to 2K a month in
- 3:43profit.
- 3:45Now, your goal is to rinse and repeat
- 3:47this until you have multiple listings
- 3:49that net 1,500 to 2K a month, so you can
- 3:52eventually have a 10K to 20K a month
- 3:54business cash flowing selling
- 3:57PNG images in a PDF. That is the
- 4:00business model I'm showing you here.
- 4:02Okay? Now,
- 4:04in this video, just so you guys know, I
- 4:06don't sell a course. I'm not selling you
- 4:08anything. I'm just showing you my
- 4:10workflow how I run this business. I'm
- 4:11going to show you the tools I use, how I
- 4:13would go about finding a trending
- 4:15design, the make making the images with
- 4:18AI AI, packaging it, putting it into a
- 4:20PDF, and then going live on Etsy. Okay,
- 4:23guys, so if you're watching this video,
- 4:25sit closely, pay attention, and I'm
- 4:27going to show you guys my workflow how I
- 4:29do this. And again, there's room for
- 4:31anyone. It's art. It's been around for
- 4:33years, and it will stick around for
- 4:34years to come. That's why I'm making
- 4:36this video. Why not, right? So,
- 4:39the first thing you're going to want to
- 4:40do in this workflow, I call it the
- 4:43workflow to set up a PNG shop to
- 4:45eventually sell PDFs, is you're going to
- 4:47want to visit this site here called
- 4:49trend to designs.com. I like this site
- 4:51because it gives you trending designs
- 4:53that are already trending, and then it
- 4:55gives you a prompt that you copy paste,
- 4:57and it makes the images for you for you.
- 4:59So, 80% of the work, you know, the
- 5:01product research phase, and the design
- 5:03phase is done, cuz it's telling you
- 5:04what's trending. So, you're wondering,
- 5:07why do I have animals on toilet here?
- 5:09Because I discovered on Etsy, this is a
- 5:12a piece of art of a frog on the toilet
- 5:15reading the newspaper. This one listing
- 5:18made $22,000. So, I'm like, "You know
- 5:20what? Let's see what I can find in that
- 5:21niche."
- 5:22And upon typing this in, I found a few
- 5:25different trend ideas, right? So, I was
- 5:27browsing, and then I came across this
- 5:30cute one right here. Let's see where it
- 5:33is.
- 5:34This cute one right here.
- 5:36So, I simply copy pasted it into an AI
- 5:39tool, like so. Uh by the way, guys, the
- 5:42trend to design tool, this tool, and
- 5:44this tool will be the link is
- 5:46description if you want to use those
- 5:47tools when you when you try this
- 5:49business yourself but we're using Kittle
- 5:51literally just copy paste the prompts
- 5:54from this tool okay so like I said just
- 5:57copy paste
- 5:59open any image generator
- 6:01paste it and then the results are pretty
- 6:04exciting okay as you can see I'm just
- 6:07going to put bring this up I I I did
- 6:08this in advance not so you guys aren't
- 6:10waiting I generated this cute cottage
- 6:12core styled design and also guys to make
- 6:16sure this this tool I'm using here is
- 6:17legit it's as cottage core it's the type
- 6:20of design it's trending so what did I do
- 6:22to verify that this website Trend
- 6:24Designs actually provides legitimate
- 6:26stuff I simply opened Google Trends and
- 6:29I just typed in cottage core to see
- 6:31I'm cross referencing is the demand
- 6:34accurate that the tool is predicting so
- 6:36I typed this in and as you can see here
- 6:39it's spiking recently so this Google
- 6:41Trends is very legit for data purposes
- 6:44this confirms that Trend Designs to data
- 6:48is correct okay so this is a good niche
- 6:51it's working so I took this prompt and I
- 6:54know I have something that here that
- 6:55could work so I typed this in
- 6:58and the cool thing about this tool also
- 7:00I'm using Kittle is it's really smart
- 7:02the AI this agentic AI I literally told
- 7:05it without doing it in one sentence
- 7:07basically make a bunch of different
- 7:09design size types okay cuz if I were to
- 7:12sell wall art like this
- 7:15it needs to be in a bunch of sizes so
- 7:18as you can see it gave me all sorts of
- 7:20sizes I can choose from
- 7:23the reason why I want to have all these
- 7:24sizes
- 7:25like I spoke about here for the business
- 7:27model the PNG shop I in this example I'm
- 7:30selling the art print version and the
- 7:33clip art version
- 7:34so using my AI tool
- 7:36okay my trend the trend design tool
- 7:39found this trending niche I have a
- 7:40design I made a bunch of sizes for wall
- 7:43art. So, I'm going to use this for my
- 7:45listing.
- 7:46And
- 7:47I told it to make me a lifestyle mock-up
- 7:50because if you see here, another reason
- 7:53why this is a best-seller is because
- 7:55their pictures, their lifestyle pictures
- 7:57showing off the art in a realistic
- 7:59living room.
- 8:00I'm not a pro again. I'm not a
- 8:02photography pro. I'm not a design pro.
- 8:04So, I just told the AI to make lifestyle
- 8:07mock-up photos. And as you can see, I
- 8:09have this stunning living room picture.
- 8:11So, when I sell the as you see here,
- 8:14when I sell the art print version of
- 8:15this frog, I'm going to upload these and
- 8:18I'm going to put this in my Etsy listing
- 8:19for sale to show customers, future
- 8:22customers what this frog on the toilet
- 8:24would look like in their living room.
- 8:26Okay? And by the way, guys, for example,
- 8:28this tool Kittle, I love this cuz when
- 8:30you're done, simply just press quick
- 8:31export, export as PNG, each one. Really
- 8:35simple. I can background remove. I can
- 8:38upscale. Really simple stuff.
- 8:40Okay? Once you download all of these,
- 8:42you're going to want to basically open a
- 8:44Google Drive account and just have a
- 8:47folder, I call the clip art, and upload
- 8:49all the PNGs. So, in this example, it's
- 8:52all my files.
- 8:54Uh and if I'm selling a pack of images,
- 8:57I would put them all here, all sorts of
- 8:58variations. Okay? I'll explain why in a
- 9:01minute.
- 9:03And as you can see here,
- 9:05if I were to sell the clip art pack,
- 9:07okay? So, you're wondering, you're like,
- 9:09Alex, what is clip art? Let me show you.
- 9:12I'm going to sell also, let's say So,
- 9:14look, this is what a clip art pack looks
- 9:16like. It's basically a digital product
- 9:18with a bunch of individual little icon
- 9:20characters in the pack. So, you pay $4
- 9:23and you basically get 59 little
- 9:24characters included. So, I'm going to
- 9:27sell a listing like this, a clip art
- 9:29pack of these frogs. So, I'm giving
- 9:33variation and options to the customer.
- 9:35They can buy the wall art version where
- 9:37it's just a piece of art that they put
- 9:39in a frame or they can buy like I showed
- 9:41you there the clip art version where it
- 9:43basically comes in all different frog
- 9:45breeds and colors.
- 9:47Now you're also wondering this
- 9:49thumbnail, how do I make this if I want
- 9:51to sell clip art? Well, I simply told I
- 9:54simply told this kiddo AI tool make me a
- 9:57thumbnail. I typed it in here. I
- 9:59literally typed it down here and it
- 10:01generated me this. I said make me an
- 10:03Etsy listing thumbnail for my frogs in
- 10:05different colors and different frog
- 10:06breeds. As you can see here is my
- 10:09stunning
- 10:10thumbnail. So, I can use this to make a
- 10:12the listing. And I have all the the
- 10:15color frogs included. As you can see
- 10:18right here I said
- 10:20make another color and it did and then I
- 10:22can keep adding more
- 10:25and more variations until I have 10 to
- 10:2720 different frogs and I would put them
- 10:30in a Google Drive like this. I would
- 10:32then click up here, go to share, press
- 10:35share. Always make sure you have anyone
- 10:37with a link enabled.
- 10:39Copy link and now here's the part where
- 10:41this becomes a pedia a boring PDF for
- 10:44sale. Okay?
- 10:46You're going to want to go into Google
- 10:47Docs
- 10:48and you're going to want to have a thank
- 10:49you card like this. You can literally
- 10:51use Claude to make this for you.
- 10:54And right here
- 10:56is where you paste that share link.
- 10:59Okay?
- 11:00You have your shop name, you have any
- 11:02questions the customer needs. So,
- 11:04when customers pay you money
- 11:07on the Etsy platform
- 11:09they're going to be delivered cuz you're
- 11:10going to export from Google Docs this
- 11:13document as a PDF. We're going to upload
- 11:15this PDF for sale
- 11:18on Etsy like this. You're going to want
- 11:20to have an Etsy account and you're going
- 11:21to want to make a listing like this
- 11:23and you're going to want to upload here
- 11:25in the digital file section that PDF.
- 11:27Are you following? Great.
- 11:30Now you're wondering, okay, so how do we
- 11:33have the SEO, the marketing? How do we
- 11:35get nice titles,
- 11:36nice descriptions?" Well, that's where
- 11:37Claude comes into place.
- 11:39I simply asked Claude,
- 11:41"Give me Etsy title suggestions for a
- 11:44cottagecore frog clip art pack." As you
- 11:46can see,
- 11:47gave me simple title suggestions. I can
- 11:50choose any one, and I can just
- 11:53paste that into
- 11:56my title.
- 11:58Okay? All I'm doing with Claude is
- 11:59copy-pasting what it's telling me to.
- 12:02Here's my description.
- 12:05I can simply
- 12:07copy this, go back to Etsy,
- 12:09go to description, paste.
- 12:12Right? Same thing with these tags to
- 12:14rank and get organic traffic because in
- 12:16this business, you want to have organic
- 12:18traffic, and you want to basically have
- 12:20free sales. You don't want to run ads
- 12:21because there's so much traffic already.
- 12:23Tags over here, same process.
- 12:26I can just
- 12:28copy all these tags,
- 12:30paste them into here.
- 12:33And basically set up the set up the
- 12:34listing like so.
- 12:36You know, I can price it for $2, $3.
- 12:40Set the quantity. And when I'm ready, I
- 12:42can press publish. One more thing I want
- 12:44you guys to mention
- 12:46is if we scroll down, right here.
- 12:48How is this digital content created? So,
- 12:51you have to be compliant with
- 12:53regulations and and let people know, let
- 12:55Etsy know it is made with an AI
- 12:56generator.
- 12:57Even if it's made with an AI generator,
- 12:59this market doesn't care. They're going
- 13:01to buy from you anyway because this
- 13:02market, they pay for convenience. Before
- 13:05you run to the comment section and say,
- 13:06"Oh, they can make it themselves," this
- 13:08market of creative buyers and crafty
- 13:10people, they don't want to do all that.
- 13:12They want to just pay you for the
- 13:14convenience of you already making it for
- 13:16them. That's what this whole business is
- 13:18based on, and it's been around for
- 13:19years. So, don't overthink and not start
- 13:22the business because of that. People are
- 13:24still buying even though you are
- 13:26literally saying at the bottom of your
- 13:28descriptions, it's made with AI. You're
- 13:30being compliant. People understand that
- 13:32they're paying it's a win-win. Okay? So,
- 13:34that's how you can easily make listings
- 13:38like these to make a clip art pack and
- 13:42an art print print pack. Okay? It's
- 13:44pretty crazy what's possible. And all
- 13:46we're doing is uploading this boring
- 13:48PDF. They pay for it and then when they
- 13:51pay for it and they press on this Google
- 13:53Drive link, they get all the files they
- 13:56needed. So, if they need files for clip
- 13:58art, they can access them them here and
- 14:00print them out for their craft projects.
- 14:03If they bought a wall art print, they
- 14:05open this file, they download the PNGs,
- 14:07they go to their local Walgreens,
- 14:09Walmart, and they print it out to then
- 14:11frame it in a nice, you know, frame and
- 14:14put it in their living room.
- 14:16Pretty crazy what's possible. And all of
- 14:18this workflow is what I do to run my
- 14:20business to do 5K a week. Now, mind you,
- 14:23I'm posting a lot. It's a numbers game.
- 14:26You're going to have to post a lot. I'm
- 14:27making it easier showing you guys the
- 14:29workflow, right? So, this AI tool makes
- 14:32it so much easier and Trendy Design does
- 14:3480% of the work. It tells you what's
- 14:36selling and it gives you the prompt.
- 14:38Okay? So, it makes your life easier.
- 14:40But, that's pretty much how we run a PNG
- 14:43shop, guys. That's the business. That is
- 14:45how we sell boring PDFs using Claude.
- 14:47And if you're consistent, you will make
- 14:49sales. That's it. So, guys, that is the
