June 2020 - Update - Section 4: Researching for Designs

Are you ready to start generating a passive income? Are you interested in launching your clothing brand? Have you heard about the hundreds of millions of dollars Etsy is bringing in every year for the platform's sellers, and you want in on that action? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, this is the perfect course for you.

For a few years straight, I spent a lot of time researching different ways of generating passive income online. Believe me, there are a ton, but the problem is, most of them only bring in nickels and dimes, and I'm looking to make dollars. I started getting frustrated until I came across a print-on-demand and dropshipping business model.

As a graphic artist, I figured I would still have to work hard to create images to place on t-shirts and other products. I was wrong; I discovered that there is plenty of low-cost and free resources that offer commercial licenses so I can use them to streamline my product creation.

Then I needed to figure out how to get noticed...well, I had to learn that the hard way too. After a year of experimenting, I finally found the keys to making consistent sales on Etsy while only putting in about an hour of effort per week.

This course will bring together all of my accumulated research and development into a shiny little package for you. Not only that, but I will also share with you how I am currently scaling my store up from generating around $40 per week in revenue to hundreds per day!

This course is designed for beginners who have little to no experience with print on demand and dropshipping on Etsy but if you are intermediate with this topic, here are a few things you may take away from this course:

How much can you really make by letting things run fully automated vs. how much you need to manually intervene to scale up.
How to get started with SEO and understanding a couple of misconceptions that you may be practicing with your tags.
How to use vector graphic design software to put together designs using pre-rendered assets.
How to use Etsy's built-in marketing tools, such as ads, sales, and email followups.
What items to add right after t-shirts that are proven to sell.
Why start with Etsy rather than Amazon Merch.

I have also completed a workbook that I will be updating from time to time as the market changes. Please use the workbook as your cheat sheet and Etsy store planner.

What is NOT covered in the course:

My goal with this course is just to get you started. You could stop after taking this course, but I recommend diving deeper into some of the topics I cover. Here are some things I may touch on but won't dive deep into.

Advance SEO and marketing analyses
Marketing (buying ads) on social media
Advance graphic design techniques

I look forward to teaching you all that I know!

Who this course is for:

Beginners interested in creating a passive income on Etsy using Print on Demand and Dropshipping
Graphic artist who would like to create a passive income stream with their designs
Someone new to Etsy and needs inspiration on what can easily be sold on the platform
