## Transcript

Shein cart, but instead of checking out, I decided to do something crazy. I am building my own Shein because I am tired of spending money instead of making my money work for me. So, we're going to go through some of the best-selling pieces
on Shein. We'll recreate them at home, and then we will build a website to sell them on, and I'm going to show you the best way to start getting sales fast. After this, we will not be needing Shein anymore. So, let's head over to this
insanely popular fast fashion site that's pulling in over $38 billion a year, and yes, I said billion with a B. But, the styles we are looking for today are going to be the top-rated and most popular because that means this is
exactly what the people want right now. And as you can see, there are so many what we need to focus on today are the ones that we can recreate the fastest. shirts or hoodies, which are some of the top-selling products on Shein. And
looking at some of these styles that I see right now, they are honestly really basic, but this is what's getting thousands of sales. But, after scrolling a bit, I came across this really unique design that's trending right now. It's
hoodies, so we'll recreate this one. And multiple products starting out, and I'm thinking something Christmasy, like maybe one of these. People love these type of shirts during the holiday
season. So, we're going to add this to our list. So, now that we have picked our inspo, it's time to actually design it, and you already know who I'm going to have to do most of the work for us, and that is AI. So, what I am going to
do is take a screenshot of this hoodie, and then I'm going to head over to Chat GPT. And what I'm going to ask it to do is to create me a super detailed prompt I can use in an AI image generator to recreate a hoodie design like this one.
Make the words look like cutout letters with the rough torn edges, and each letter has a different color and background patch that looks ripped and layered. It should give the grungy street style vibe, and instead of it is
what it is, let's make it say faith over fear with the words on three separate lines. Line one should be faith, line two over, and line three fear. And then I'll add the image of the hoodie here, and once I hit enter, it gave me the
perfect prompt to use. So, what we need to do now is bring this to life. And to do that, I am going to be using one of my favorite tools to use right now, and actually going to be found inside of
Google Gemini. So, once I log in there, all I'm doing is pasting the prompt, and then we are going to see what it comes up with. Wait, hold up a second, y'all. up with. Wait, hold up a second, y'all. This looks really good, and it is very,
very close to the other design, which we are not just copying. Of course, we added our own touch to it. We changed the colors, we changed the words, but this came out great. So, let's see what it can now do with our Christmas shirt.
So, this time I'm going to ask Chat to write me a super detailed prompt for a cozy modern Christmas T-shirt design inspired by the attached image, but make it look unique, include bold playful typography, and slightly distressed
texture, and layered holiday elements like snowflakes, candy canes, and stars. And don't worry, I will be putting these prompts down in the description, but once I hit enter on this, it gave me the next prompt that we need to go over to
use in Nano Banana. So, I'm just going to copy that, and now I am going to paste it over here. And this time, this is what it gave us. And honestly, I am telling you, Nano Banana never miss when I use it. This right here is definitely
what you're going to see people walking around this Christmas in. So, why not be the person selling it to them? So, now that we have our designs, we only have two more steps that we need to do. And the next one is going to be to head over
to Printful. And if you want to follow along with me as I do this, I dropped description. You can just click on it. But, this is where we will take everything we just created and turn it into real physical products. And
Printful lets you upload your designs and place them on hoodies, shirts, bags, bottles. They have over 400 premium products that we can sell our designs on. And the best part about this is when we start getting those orders, they will
print it and ship it to the customer. That's what we call print on demand. So, after we create a free account, we can click start to design our [music] first product, and I'm going to start with a hoodie. So, to find the perfect one,
I'll view full catalog. Then I'm going to go to the men's clothing because they have unisex hoodies, and we want this to sell to men and women. So, I'm going to go with this one, and I'll choose start designing, and this is where we'll
upload the image that we created. But, before we do that, we want to make sure that we have the best image quality that we can possibly have. So, I'll go over to Canva and first remove this background that Nano Banana added, and
then I'll go to apps, look for the image upscaler, and I'll select the image, and just have to do is download this with a transparent background, and I'll head
back over to Printful and now drag and drop it right here. And as you can see, it shows us over here that the image quality is good, and that's definitely what we want. So, after we've added the design, we can choose all of the colors
that we want to sell on. Definitely, we need black because it looks so good with it. But, we'll also choose the sizes, and I suggest always going with all because that way we will be able to reach more people and make more money.
And then we can just save this to our templates, and I'm going to now do the same process with the other shirt, always again choosing unisex, then drag and drop in the design, and just like that, the next one is all ready. So,
the way, and we have one more important thing that we need to do. And that's to build the online store that's going to look like Shein. And for this, we are going to be using Hostinger. Again, I added the link down in the description
but Hostinger is about to make this process super easy because you will be able to build an entire full store in minutes using their AI website builder.
And unlike other platforms that take a cut of every sale, this one does not that AI builder is going to come with the business plan, which also works with our print on demand. Then we'll go ahead and choose the period, and I always go
with the 48 months because you get the best price with that one. And on top of that, there is an amazing Black Friday sale going on right now. Plus, if you enter my code the hint since it will give you an additional 10% off. So,
after we have our account set up, we are going to select the Hostinger website builder, and the only thing we will have to do is enter our brand name. And just for today's video, since we are using Shein for inspiration, we are going to
call this one Ween. And so, now we have to describe it, and I am saying Ween is a modern online store that sells trendy affordable fashion and lifestyle apparel. Of course, we have to make this sound fancy. And the goal is to make
stylish high-quality pieces accessible to everyone. So, once I hit create website, in like 10 seconds, it has made [music] me an entire online store that I can customize to make fit my brand even more. What it gave me is everything we
need, and it actually looks pretty similar to the layout of Shein. So, I will go with this one for now and continue the store setup. And at this point, we will be able to add our print on demand provider, which was Printful,
by going to integrations, and then we're going to get started with Printful, and then click on add Printful. And because I'm already logged in, it already kind of pre-connected it. All I'll have to do is hit authorize, but if you're not
logged in, just add your details here. But, now that it is connected, the only thing we have to do is go back into Printful and hit publish on the products that we made, and we will be able to see everything over here on Hostinger, and
we'll also be able to manage all of the products here as well. Anytime we create automatically send it over to Hostinger to our new store. But, I just need to delete the filler products that AI added. But, one of the things I want to
do to make our products stand out even more is use Nano Banana to generate an image of someone wearing the hoodie. We need to bring this to life. So, after I asked it to create someone wearing it, this is what it made. I'm telling you,
this is everything. It says so much without saying words. So, this will help us to get more sales. And once we download it, we can just add it right here with our images, and we can also have AI to generate all of the product
details for us, including the title and description. And once we hit save, this is what the product looks like in our store. This looks very professional. And let me show you what people will see when they first visit Ween. Now, of
more tweaks to make this pop a little bit more, but I'm telling you, these companies better watch out because I know the next millionaire is about to be born. Comment down below and let me know
if you think that our newly created store gives the same feel and vibe as products on there as well, but we are just getting started. Don't count us out. Now, having a store, [music] being a store owner is amazing, but we need to
that we can get paid. And let me show you a really quick way that's going to help you to be able to get sales. And with this, I am always recommending to everybody to use the power of social media. And if you want to see fast
results, you definitely have to hop onto TikTok because you can go viral fast, especially with the method that I'm about to show you. So, we are going to take the photo of the person that we designed wearing our product, and we are
going to create a full video using Google's Video 3. So, I usually use it in Gemini, but to do what we need to do, we will be using it in flow this time. we will be using it in flow this time. And I am going to choose frame to video.
right here, and then we have to give it some directions. I'll say make this person move naturally on New York City streets. And he says, "One thing I will always have is faith over fear, and I will wear it everywhere I go. What you
standing on?" And so once I hit enter on that, it's creating the video, which is now ready. And take a look at this. One thing I will always have is faith over fear. And I will wear it everywhere I go.
What you standing on? Come on now, y'all. We can definitely rack up pushing out videos like this. You know I am not going to leave you hanging. I'm not just going to tell you how to set it up. We need to be able to make this money. And
definitely does encourage me to buy this. But you can create many more AI influencers and have them wear your products and just upload them to TikTok please don't let this just be another video that you watched. I have literally
given you everything you need to get started, and I gave it to you for free. Things like this used to be so hard to do, but with AI now, this is making it possible for anyone to be able to create this. And honestly, you can take these
designs even further. I just wanted to keep it simple today, but I was playing around with Prompt Fours earlier, and I was able to make this cheetah print dress, which is also a dress that is trending on Shein, and it turned out
really good. So if you want the full tutorial on how to make these all-over designs like this, comment down below, and I'll show you exactly how I did it. And you want to hop on this now so that you can get ahead of the game. So I hope
because that helps me out. And until next time, we out. Peace.
