  1. 0:00You know, it blows my mind how I'm able
  2. 0:02to sell the most boring digital
  3. 0:04products, PDFs, and sell that using
  4. 0:07Claude. And I'm going to show you the
  5. 0:09numbers that I'm making every week. It's
  6. 0:11It's actually crazy, guys. Check this
  7. 0:12out. As you guys can see, in the last 7
  8. 0:14days, July 1st to July 7th, 4.8k.
  9. 0:17Refresh, so it's real, guys. Pretty
  10. 0:19crazy what's possible. So, when I say I
  11. 0:21sell boring PDFs, this is what the
  12. 0:23business model looks like. Inside these
  13. 0:27PDFs that I sell, they are PNG images.
  14. 0:31I'm basically selling images packaged
  15. 0:34into a PDF. The delivery model to the
  16. 0:37customer is via PDF. This business model
  17. 0:40is known as a PNG shop. I have an online
  18. 0:44shop that sells PNG images delivered via
  19. 0:48PDF. I'm going to show an example and go
  20. 0:51a bit further what that looks like. And
  21. 0:53basically, how this works is take a
  22. 0:56look. This is an example of a
  23. 0:58successful, really successful store
  24. 1:01doing exactly that, making seven
  25. 1:04figures. You thought my figures are
  26. 1:05good? You know, I'm doing 5k weeks,
  27. 1:07sometimes more. This is what a
  28. 1:10multi-million dollar store looks like.
  29. 1:12It's called North Prints. Take a look
  30. 1:14here. They're on the Etsy platform. They
  31. 1:16sell on Etsy. And all they sell, as you
  32. 1:18can see here, are uh three to
  33. 1:20five-dollar digital downloads. So, when
  34. 1:24someone buys this art, okay? If we
  35. 1:26scroll down here, they are shipping to
  36. 1:28the customer a digital file in the form
  37. 1:30of a PDF. Meaning, every time a customer
  38. 1:33pays three to five dollars for something
  39. 1:35on this store,
  40. 1:37they're going to get these prints in a
  41. 1:39PDF that that they can then go and print
  42. 1:42it out themselves and put it in a frame.
  43. 1:44There is a huge market for this stuff
  44. 1:45where buyers print out files. They buy
  45. 1:48the designs from you, and then they go
  46. 1:50and print it out themselves. Before you
  47. 1:52ask yourself who would do this, the
  48. 1:53proof is here, guys. Focus on the fact
  49. 1:55that this market exists and how you can
  50. 1:58take part in it. And guys, look, every
  51. 2:00single day people buy these and they
  52. 2:02print it out themselves and they frame
  53. 2:04it. It's fun. It's a fun craft hobby. We
  54. 2:06are capitalizing on that.
  55. 2:08Now, you're wondering, you don't need to
  56. 2:10be an artist, you don't need design
  57. 2:12skills. All of these stores are actually
  58. 2:14leveraging the power of AI technology to
  59. 2:17make AI generated arts in the file type
  60. 2:20of a PNG and put that into a PDF to
  61. 2:23deliver to the customer. So, the end
  62. 2:25goal is to have a successful store like
  63. 2:27this that makes millions of dollars,
  64. 2:29right? That's my goal. That should be
  65. 2:31your goal. And the cool thing about this
  66. 2:33is, you know, we look here, they have
  67. 2:351,700 listings. Your goal is to have
  68. 2:39a bunch of listings that make really
  69. 2:41good money. So,
  70. 2:43you can easily, in one niche, you can
  71. 2:46easily have two different types of PNGs,
  72. 2:48okay? There's clip art, which is what
  73. 2:51people will buy to print out for on
  74. 2:53their wedding invitations, their baby
  75. 2:55showers, their kids' room, the
  76. 2:57wallpaper, tablecloths, cake toppers.
  77. 3:00They buy clip art, they print it out.
  78. 3:01Or, the example I showed you, art
  79. 3:03prints, where they buy your PNG files
  80. 3:05and they go print it out themselves to
  81. 3:07frame specifically on a wall, okay? Now,
  82. 3:10yes, $4 to $5, $5 to $9. It's not much
  83. 3:14money, but you have to realize this is a
  84. 3:16passive business. When you set
  85. 3:18everything up one time, it sells for you
  86. 3:21passively as a system. You don't have to
  87. 3:22do any work. So, in volume, it's a
  88. 3:25numbers game.
  89. 3:26You actually end up making a lot of
  90. 3:27money. Now, if you have two good
  91. 3:30listings like this that are best sellers
  92. 3:32passively selling for you every day, 30,
  93. 3:3540, 50, 100 units a day at these price
  94. 3:37points, you can easily make on on two
  95. 3:40good listings 1,500 to 2K a month in
  96. 3:43profit.
  97. 3:45Now, your goal is to rinse and repeat
  98. 3:47this until you have multiple listings
  99. 3:49that net 1,500 to 2K a month, so you can
  100. 3:52eventually have a 10K to 20K a month
  101. 3:54business cash flowing selling
  102. 3:57PNG images in a PDF. That is the
  103. 4:00business model I'm showing you here.
  104. 4:02Okay? Now,
  105. 4:04in this video, just so you guys know, I
  106. 4:06don't sell a course. I'm not selling you
  107. 4:08anything. I'm just showing you my
  108. 4:10workflow how I run this business. I'm
  109. 4:11going to show you the tools I use, how I
  110. 4:13would go about finding a trending
  111. 4:15design, the make making the images with
  112. 4:18AI AI, packaging it, putting it into a
  113. 4:20PDF, and then going live on Etsy. Okay,
  114. 4:23guys, so if you're watching this video,
  115. 4:25sit closely, pay attention, and I'm
  116. 4:27going to show you guys my workflow how I
  117. 4:29do this. And again, there's room for
  118. 4:31anyone. It's art. It's been around for
  119. 4:33years, and it will stick around for
  120. 4:34years to come. That's why I'm making
  121. 4:36this video. Why not, right? So,
  122. 4:39the first thing you're going to want to
  123. 4:40do in this workflow, I call it the
  124. 4:43workflow to set up a PNG shop to
  125. 4:45eventually sell PDFs, is you're going to
  126. 4:47want to visit this site here called
  127. 4:49trend to designs.com. I like this site
  128. 4:51because it gives you trending designs
  129. 4:53that are already trending, and then it
  130. 4:55gives you a prompt that you copy paste,
  131. 4:57and it makes the images for you for you.
  132. 4:59So, 80% of the work, you know, the
  133. 5:01product research phase, and the design
  134. 5:03phase is done, cuz it's telling you
  135. 5:04what's trending. So, you're wondering,
  136. 5:07why do I have animals on toilet here?
  137. 5:09Because I discovered on Etsy, this is a
  138. 5:12a piece of art of a frog on the toilet
  139. 5:15reading the newspaper. This one listing
  140. 5:18made $22,000. So, I'm like, "You know
  141. 5:20what? Let's see what I can find in that
  142. 5:21niche."
  143. 5:22And upon typing this in, I found a few
  144. 5:25different trend ideas, right? So, I was
  145. 5:27browsing, and then I came across this
  146. 5:30cute one right here. Let's see where it
  147. 5:33is.
  148. 5:34This cute one right here.
  149. 5:36So, I simply copy pasted it into an AI
  150. 5:39tool, like so. Uh by the way, guys, the
  151. 5:42trend to design tool, this tool, and
  152. 5:44this tool will be the link is
  153. 5:46description if you want to use those
  154. 5:47tools when you when you try this
  155. 5:49business yourself but we're using Kittle
  156. 5:51literally just copy paste the prompts
  157. 5:54from this tool okay so like I said just
  158. 5:57copy paste
  159. 5:59open any image generator
  160. 6:01paste it and then the results are pretty
  161. 6:04exciting okay as you can see I'm just
  162. 6:07going to put bring this up I I I did
  163. 6:08this in advance not so you guys aren't
  164. 6:10waiting I generated this cute cottage
  165. 6:12core styled design and also guys to make
  166. 6:16sure this this tool I'm using here is
  167. 6:17legit it's as cottage core it's the type
  168. 6:20of design it's trending so what did I do
  169. 6:22to verify that this website Trend
  170. 6:24Designs actually provides legitimate
  171. 6:26stuff I simply opened Google Trends and
  172. 6:29I just typed in cottage core to see
  173. 6:31I'm cross referencing is the demand
  174. 6:34accurate that the tool is predicting so
  175. 6:36I typed this in and as you can see here
  176. 6:39it's spiking recently so this Google
  177. 6:41Trends is very legit for data purposes
  178. 6:44this confirms that Trend Designs to data
  179. 6:48is correct okay so this is a good niche
  180. 6:51it's working so I took this prompt and I
  181. 6:54know I have something that here that
  182. 6:55could work so I typed this in
  183. 6:58and the cool thing about this tool also
  184. 7:00I'm using Kittle is it's really smart
  185. 7:02the AI this agentic AI I literally told
  186. 7:05it without doing it in one sentence
  187. 7:07basically make a bunch of different
  188. 7:09design size types okay cuz if I were to
  189. 7:12sell wall art like this
  190. 7:15it needs to be in a bunch of sizes so
  191. 7:18as you can see it gave me all sorts of
  192. 7:20sizes I can choose from
  193. 7:23the reason why I want to have all these
  194. 7:24sizes
  195. 7:25like I spoke about here for the business
  196. 7:27model the PNG shop I in this example I'm
  197. 7:30selling the art print version and the
  198. 7:33clip art version
  199. 7:34so using my AI tool
  200. 7:36okay my trend the trend design tool
  201. 7:39found this trending niche I have a
  202. 7:40design I made a bunch of sizes for wall
  203. 7:43art. So, I'm going to use this for my
  204. 7:45listing.
  205. 7:46And
  206. 7:47I told it to make me a lifestyle mock-up
  207. 7:50because if you see here, another reason
  208. 7:53why this is a best-seller is because
  209. 7:55their pictures, their lifestyle pictures
  210. 7:57showing off the art in a realistic
  211. 7:59living room.
  212. 8:00I'm not a pro again. I'm not a
  213. 8:02photography pro. I'm not a design pro.
  214. 8:04So, I just told the AI to make lifestyle
  215. 8:07mock-up photos. And as you can see, I
  216. 8:09have this stunning living room picture.
  217. 8:11So, when I sell the as you see here,
  218. 8:14when I sell the art print version of
  219. 8:15this frog, I'm going to upload these and
  220. 8:18I'm going to put this in my Etsy listing
  221. 8:19for sale to show customers, future
  222. 8:22customers what this frog on the toilet
  223. 8:24would look like in their living room.
  224. 8:26Okay? And by the way, guys, for example,
  225. 8:28this tool Kittle, I love this cuz when
  226. 8:30you're done, simply just press quick
  227. 8:31export, export as PNG, each one. Really
  228. 8:35simple. I can background remove. I can
  229. 8:38upscale. Really simple stuff.
  230. 8:40Okay? Once you download all of these,
  231. 8:42you're going to want to basically open a
  232. 8:44Google Drive account and just have a
  233. 8:47folder, I call the clip art, and upload
  234. 8:49all the PNGs. So, in this example, it's
  235. 8:52all my files.
  236. 8:54Uh and if I'm selling a pack of images,
  237. 8:57I would put them all here, all sorts of
  238. 8:58variations. Okay? I'll explain why in a
  239. 9:01minute.
  240. 9:03And as you can see here,
  241. 9:05if I were to sell the clip art pack,
  242. 9:07okay? So, you're wondering, you're like,
  243. 9:09Alex, what is clip art? Let me show you.
  244. 9:12I'm going to sell also, let's say So,
  245. 9:14look, this is what a clip art pack looks
  246. 9:16like. It's basically a digital product
  247. 9:18with a bunch of individual little icon
  248. 9:20characters in the pack. So, you pay $4
  249. 9:23and you basically get 59 little
  250. 9:24characters included. So, I'm going to
  251. 9:27sell a listing like this, a clip art
  252. 9:29pack of these frogs. So, I'm giving
  253. 9:33variation and options to the customer.
  254. 9:35They can buy the wall art version where
  255. 9:37it's just a piece of art that they put
  256. 9:39in a frame or they can buy like I showed
  257. 9:41you there the clip art version where it
  258. 9:43basically comes in all different frog
  259. 9:45breeds and colors.
  260. 9:47Now you're also wondering this
  261. 9:49thumbnail, how do I make this if I want
  262. 9:51to sell clip art? Well, I simply told I
  263. 9:54simply told this kiddo AI tool make me a
  264. 9:57thumbnail. I typed it in here. I
  265. 9:59literally typed it down here and it
  266. 10:01generated me this. I said make me an
  267. 10:03Etsy listing thumbnail for my frogs in
  268. 10:05different colors and different frog
  269. 10:06breeds. As you can see here is my
  270. 10:09stunning
  271. 10:10thumbnail. So, I can use this to make a
  272. 10:12the listing. And I have all the the
  273. 10:15color frogs included. As you can see
  274. 10:18right here I said
  275. 10:20make another color and it did and then I
  276. 10:22can keep adding more
  277. 10:25and more variations until I have 10 to
  278. 10:2720 different frogs and I would put them
  279. 10:30in a Google Drive like this. I would
  280. 10:32then click up here, go to share, press
  281. 10:35share. Always make sure you have anyone
  282. 10:37with a link enabled.
  283. 10:39Copy link and now here's the part where
  284. 10:41this becomes a pedia a boring PDF for
  285. 10:44sale. Okay?
  286. 10:46You're going to want to go into Google
  287. 10:47Docs
  288. 10:48and you're going to want to have a thank
  289. 10:49you card like this. You can literally
  290. 10:51use Claude to make this for you.
  291. 10:54And right here
  292. 10:56is where you paste that share link.
  293. 10:59Okay?
  294. 11:00You have your shop name, you have any
  295. 11:02questions the customer needs. So,
  296. 11:04when customers pay you money
  297. 11:07on the Etsy platform
  298. 11:09they're going to be delivered cuz you're
  299. 11:10going to export from Google Docs this
  300. 11:13document as a PDF. We're going to upload
  301. 11:15this PDF for sale
  302. 11:18on Etsy like this. You're going to want
  303. 11:20to have an Etsy account and you're going
  304. 11:21to want to make a listing like this
  305. 11:23and you're going to want to upload here
  306. 11:25in the digital file section that PDF.
  307. 11:27Are you following? Great.
  308. 11:30Now you're wondering, okay, so how do we
  309. 11:33have the SEO, the marketing? How do we
  310. 11:35get nice titles,
  311. 11:36nice descriptions?" Well, that's where
  312. 11:37Claude comes into place.
  313. 11:39I simply asked Claude,
  314. 11:41"Give me Etsy title suggestions for a
  315. 11:44cottagecore frog clip art pack." As you
  316. 11:46can see,
  317. 11:47gave me simple title suggestions. I can
  318. 11:50choose any one, and I can just
  319. 11:53paste that into
  320. 11:56my title.
  321. 11:58Okay? All I'm doing with Claude is
  322. 11:59copy-pasting what it's telling me to.
  323. 12:02Here's my description.
  324. 12:05I can simply
  325. 12:07copy this, go back to Etsy,
  326. 12:09go to description, paste.
  327. 12:12Right? Same thing with these tags to
  328. 12:14rank and get organic traffic because in
  329. 12:16this business, you want to have organic
  330. 12:18traffic, and you want to basically have
  331. 12:20free sales. You don't want to run ads
  332. 12:21because there's so much traffic already.
  333. 12:23Tags over here, same process.
  334. 12:26I can just
  335. 12:28copy all these tags,
  336. 12:30paste them into here.
  337. 12:33And basically set up the set up the
  338. 12:34listing like so.
  339. 12:36You know, I can price it for $2, $3.
  340. 12:40Set the quantity. And when I'm ready, I
  341. 12:42can press publish. One more thing I want
  342. 12:44you guys to mention
  343. 12:46is if we scroll down, right here.
  344. 12:48How is this digital content created? So,
  345. 12:51you have to be compliant with
  346. 12:53regulations and and let people know, let
  347. 12:55Etsy know it is made with an AI
  348. 12:56generator.
  349. 12:57Even if it's made with an AI generator,
  350. 12:59this market doesn't care. They're going
  351. 13:01to buy from you anyway because this
  352. 13:02market, they pay for convenience. Before
  353. 13:05you run to the comment section and say,
  354. 13:06"Oh, they can make it themselves," this
  355. 13:08market of creative buyers and crafty
  356. 13:10people, they don't want to do all that.
  357. 13:12They want to just pay you for the
  358. 13:14convenience of you already making it for
  359. 13:16them. That's what this whole business is
  360. 13:18based on, and it's been around for
  361. 13:19years. So, don't overthink and not start
  362. 13:22the business because of that. People are
  363. 13:24still buying even though you are
  364. 13:26literally saying at the bottom of your
  365. 13:28descriptions, it's made with AI. You're
  366. 13:30being compliant. People understand that
  367. 13:32they're paying it's a win-win. Okay? So,
  368. 13:34that's how you can easily make listings
  369. 13:38like these to make a clip art pack and
  370. 13:42an art print print pack. Okay? It's
  371. 13:44pretty crazy what's possible. And all
  372. 13:46we're doing is uploading this boring
  373. 13:48PDF. They pay for it and then when they
  374. 13:51pay for it and they press on this Google
