[00:17] started to begin I will recommend you that you always make a research because you don't want to invest time and effort doing something that no one is going to buy so to start with our research in case that you don't have any idea aidea

[00:30] of which Niche you want to start to create your t-shirts on what you can do is use the help of AI and for this I'm just going to go and open my chbt account and over here I'm just going to ask it to give me ideas of activities

[00:44] that can take t-shirts on Match so I can go and start to get some ideas of which t-shirts designs I can create and sell on Etsy so I'm just going to go and I'm going to let it grite it so over here we have group or family team event

[01:00] have group or family team event celebrations of parties travel special interest of groups awareness work related activities School Outdoor Adventures and holiday celebrations so as you can see from here you can get a

[01:14] lot of ideas to start to make some research for your t-shirts from here I think I really like the bachelor parties with t-shirts with phrases like Brad squad or Grooms crew I think this is a very fun topic for me to create my

[01:28] designs and once I grab some ideas from cha GPT I can go and make some research on Etsy so we can see if we actually have an opportunity with this topic so I'm just going to go and open Etsy and over here I'm just going to go and

[01:43] search for bachelor t-shirts and now we have some options of some Bachelor t-shirts that I can start to create but first I'm just going to go and I'm going to evaluate how this Niche is doing and to do this I'm just going to go and I'm

[01:57] to do this I'm just going to go and I'm going to open one of these products and to evaluate it I'm going to go and I'm going to use my everv account so now that I have found this product I can go to my everv account I can go to the

[02:10] section of keyword research over here I can take a look of how this keyword is doing in the Etsy Market I can go paste it and over here it's going to tell us the competition and the keyword score we can also see the search volume which is

[02:25] good and then we can start to analyze if we can create designs for this type of t-shirts so I think it's not so bad and we can even go to the product analytics the same I'm just going to go paste my keyword and over here we can see the

[02:40] price of the t-shirts we can see the monthly estimated sales the monthly revenue and the total sales so as we can see it's a product that actually gets a lot of sales and we can see that sellers under this Niche is making up to

[02:55] $40,000 per month which is insane we have 22,000 21,000 24 and it keeps going so I think this is a good Niche for me to start the creation of my t-shirts

[03:08] once we identify the niche for our t-shirt we can start the design process and for this I will be using gelato which has all the tools you need for print on demand in one place gelato allow us to design and create amazing

[03:22] mockups for our Etsy listing with just one click and one of the best things about gelato is the integration with Etsy as well as other platforms this means you can focus on design your t-shirts while gelato handles the

[04:04] of products that we can create with gelato but for this video I'm going to be focusing on the t-shirts for women so we actually have to go to the women's clothing section over here I'm just going to open it and as you can see we

[04:18] have a lot of options as well we have the t-shirts hoodies sweat t-shirts the t-shirts hoodies sweat t-shirts jackets BS polos tank tops so we get a lot of options for our products so for this product I could even go and create

[04:31] t-shirts and hoodies or we could even get very specific and we can create tank tops for our Bachelor t-shirts but for now I'm just going to be following into the T-shirt section first of all we have to go and take a look of the shipping

[04:47] region over here because I'm going to be selling it on the US I have to go and change it over here so I'm just going to go and change it to North America but as you can see we have so many options we have Europe United Kingdom Asia South

[05:03] America and the rest of the world and you can even go and click in all regions but for now I'm just going to keep it on North America over here we can select the t-shirt that we want to sell on our Etsy store so if you position your mouse

[05:18] over the product you can see the sizing for your T-shirt so we have S ml XL and 2XL we can also see the different colors that it offer and we can check the

[05:30] pricing for this t-shirt so over here we have different options so it will depend on your product and your pricing which of these options you're going to choose and also if you want to sell the t-shirt on different colors I will also

[05:44] recommend you that you check the colors available for each of these t-shirts so we have this one this one they have different colors as you can see we have pink and gray and over here we have different pink but different colors and

[05:57] you can even go and check this over this this option we have more expensive and we have more cheap options so over here you just have to go and select the one that adjust to your needs so I'm just going to go and I'm going to choose this

[06:13] option and as you can see over here we can see how it's going to look our t-shirt we have the front we have the back of it we have the markup of it so how it would look and we also have like different closeups and back of it so you

[06:29] just have to to check if you actually like this model otherwise you go back and then you choose a different one as you can see the model is a men because this teure is actually unisex so we can use it as well for women and over here

[06:42] we can go and select the color and the sizes so over here we can check that the product price is going to be $8 and the shipping is going to be shipping is going to be $33.99 so $4 we can also see that this

[06:55] product is going to be delivered to the United States and we can also go and colors so if I would like to make my bachelor party t-shirt on pink I can see how it would look so I think I really like it on pink and I'm going to keep it

[07:09] on this color so I'm just going to go I'm going to select M size and I can click in add to the store and if you haven't connect your store with gelato you just have to go to the section of stores and over here it's going to let

[07:22] you connect your Etsy store but it's not only available for Etsy we also have Shopify Amazon Tik Tok shop and all of these options so you just have to click in the option of connect and it's going to take you to the signing of your Etsy

[07:37] shop and then it will connect your Etsy shop with gelato it's that simple so once you connect and you add this product into your Etsy Shop it comes the moment to create our mockups and over here we have the exact mockup of our

[07:51] t-shirt so I can start to add the designing into my t-shirt so over here we have the section of product as you can see we can go and add different colors if you want to add more sizing for your t-shirts you can do it as well

[08:05] over here so it's not only M we also have the other options as well as the colors but for now I'm just going to keep it with this same color and this same sizing moving on to the section of text is over here where we can go and

[08:19] add the text for our t-shirt so I can go and click add text and we can start with the designing of our t-shirt so I'm going to take the example from chapp bright Squat and I'm going to add it into my design but you can go and

[08:33] customize this text but if I just add it like that I don't think it's going to sell very well so I'm just going to go and I'm going to change the fonts and to do this I'm just going to select my phont and we can click in this section

[08:45] over here we can go and select one of these free options so I think actually this one look very nice and I can go and increase the size of it so I'm just going to go I'm going to make it figger I can go and even pull from here and

[08:58] then you can see see that it actually showed me where my printing is going to be so I have to be careful and just follow the same sizing so I think something like this I'm also going to put it in the middle so it looks very

[09:10] nice and we can even go and change the color of this so I think I can go I'm going to select it and we can click over here to change the color of these fonts so I think this one looks very well but you can also go and then just add the

[09:24] code of the color that you want to add in case that the color that you want is not here or you can also go and custom your color over here so both options work for your text and now to add more elements into my design I can go to the

[09:38] section of shter stock over here I can go and search for elements that I can go and add into this t-shirt that will actually make it stand out so you can go and search for bride or just the element that you want to add on your T-shirt so

[09:53] for drink because I think like all of the designs have like drink uh IM and stuff so I can go and then just search for mine so actually this one looks very well and I can go and add it over here

[10:06] so I'm just going to choose one of these ones because I don't really want to add all of it and you can go and just start to cut the parts that you don't need from it so I think I'm going to go and then just also make it longer here you

[10:20] can even add to so something like this would work I guess and there we go you strings so you can go and choose the one that you like the most it's just that I really like these two options and I'm going to be working with this ones and

[10:33] there we go I'm going to be using this one then I'm just going to adjust it to the sizing of my t-shirt and there we go we have our text we have our elements specific with the elements that you want to add and find elements more like this

[10:49] ones or just find your own elements you can go and create yours IND designing platforms and then just oplo it into your gelato account so you can go and click choose file and then you just upload your elements or otherwise you

[11:03] can also go and use platforms like creative Fabrica where you can go and to make this bachelor t-shirt personalized gelato actually offers an automated personalization so once you get an order gelato will fill the

[11:18] details of your t-shirt which will make the workflow even more smooth and you can keep adding more elements into your design so you can go add shapes you can even change the layout of your your T-shirt you can add stickers so over

[11:31] here we have some options so as you can see we have all of these that you could go and add into your design but I think for mine it looks good like this so I'm just going to keep it and now we can move on into mockups and from here is

[11:45] where we're going to get our listing pictures for our Etsy shop so as you can see we can have some options over here we have some male options but you don't have to use it also we have some women's over here and other options you don't

[11:58] have to use this one ones you can only use the T-shirt one so we also have this one this one so you can showcase how your t-shirt is going to look so I think for me I'm just going to be using this one and I think for me this won't work

[12:11] very well I think I can also go and use this one of this lady and you can choose the ones that I choose the best for you and now we can click in continue to details over here is where we're going to go and add the description of our

[12:24] product if you don't want to keep this title you can go and change it and what I really like about gelato is that you even get assistance with the generation of your description so you can click in generate with AI then over here you just

[12:37] make a quick description of your product and the AI will generate it for you and then we have the rest of the settings so we can go and enter our tags and you can go and choose between these options if you choose to but I can go and click in

[13:06] depending on the margin of profit that you want to make so over here if I charge $17 for my t-shirts I'm going to be having this profit and you can keep adjusting till you find the right price for your t-shirts and once you have

[13:20] found the pricing for your T-shirt you can click and continue to review and over here we can see the retail price and we can see the estimated price profit and finally we can even see the delivery regions for our t-shirt and
