[05:12] front of you with the name of POD Collection Launcher. Ok? So the name of this skill is POD Collection Launcher. And what will I do now? Now I will launch an entire collection and show you and also create modeling images or the product images you

[05:26] need within just a few minutes. So first of all To launch the skill, you simply type backslash here and from here you will select your skill and simply press enter.

[05:40] Ok? This is the only thing you have to do. Further, I will also tell you the procedure on how you can use the print on demand platform and get your entire system ready One thing I want to tell you here is that in this collection that we are creating, there will be a

[05:54] collection of 8 images. Meaning that your eight products will be made here. If you want to create more products then you can tell it here itself whether I want a collection of 16 products or a collection of 20 products.

[06:07] So we have selected at here. So the benefit of 8 will be that I can show you everything clearly. Now you see here our skill has been launched. He has also used the product launcher here. Now here it will also do its

[06:19] own research as to what kind of ideas should be there. This will also give us some ideas. We can select from them also. Or if we have any idea in our mind then we will give that idea also to it. So using that on top of that, it will create some really nice

[06:31] for our products [music]. So now you can see here that it has given us some ideas which are ideas that it has already searched which will perform well. So give that also. I select an idea here and this skill is

[06:46] simple. After you have selected the idea, it will now generate props and then generate its images. I will definitely share with you the important things in it now. Now you can see here that

[06:59] it has locked this design and after that it has also selected the colours, colour palettes. And right now it's telling us that I've selected all these things for at designs. Now here it's telling us to

[07:12] start creating these images. So I would say yes to this. Well, if we have written yes here, along with this we could have told it something else also like whether our product should be contain only images. If there should be some style for some thing, then

[07:28] we could have told it that thing here and it would have adjusted accordingly in the future. So now you can see that it will use the image generation model of Hugs Field and I have use GPT image to [music]. So this gpt will use image two only and will

[07:42] create art images for us. Then after that we'll also create images of the models that we'll use on our product listings [music]. So now you can see here that the Hugs Field image generation model has fired up

[07:57] and it's starting to generate our images [music]. So, our images have started to generate. You can see that this image is on a white background. The reason for this is that when we take it to the print on demand platform,

[08:09] we can easily remove its background. Ok? We will use only this text and this image by removing the background and we will list it on the print on demand platform. Now let me tell you that procedure also. So

[08:22] here you can see that we can simply download these images from here and other images have also become ours. He has created all the images related to the niche we selected. So now if you want to change your niche

[08:37] or want to change something in these designs, you can do that too. Ok? So all these designs have been made. I'll give you an example later on how to upload it to a print on demand platform and from there how you can connect it to an ad. So here it is

[08:50] images are created, product images are created, then after that it will also create the model listing. As I told you and in this we have given examples of HNM Zara that the way its models show their T-shirts should be like that.

[09:04] So here we will say yes. I told him that yes brother, now create images and I have also given him another option that your dimensions should be one by one. The name of the T-shirt given is the same as the name of the

[09:18] T-shirt available on print on demand. A mockup of the T-shirt is available. So we will use the same T-shirt design so that our design also does not change. And here this thing can also happen that we can do print on demand as I show you

[09:31] that this is our T-shirt. We can give all the details of this T-shirt here. And then it will use the same T-shirts on the modeling pictures it generates and make the models wear them and then also apply designs on them so that our product

[09:45] images can be created. But for now, I've just named it T-shirt here and we'll click enter. While it's creating designs, we download a design and I'll show you how we upload it to

[09:59] our print on demand platform. Here we have this design in high quality. You have to click on save image. So I've come in here inside Cwa. Inside Cwa, we have

[10:13] upload your image inside the upload. So this is our image we have uploaded. You can see that our image is in very high quality. But the We will use the background remover here and stretch our design like this.

[10:27] stretched out here. And we'll click on Share. Click on download. we have to select the transparent background. This page has to be selected. And from here we will download it. I will download it. Once we download it, our

[10:41] next step is to upload it on our print on demand platform. platforms before, you can use printfi.com. you can use printfi.com.

[10:55] you can add your print on demand designs and then you can connect it with Adc can also connect it with Shopifi. Ok? You have both options. For now, we'll Our design is being

[11:08] uploaded here. So you can see that our design has been added here. when you are making your product, you also have the option of selecting variants. you also have the option of selecting variants.

[11:22] n't look good on grey. You can remove it. You can see on different designs how your design will look. So it looks much better on these designs. So we will select this design and we will also select white at the end and we will

[11:37] back the selected base here. Now here's another thing you can do. If you go to the preview, you will see mockups of all your products here. As you can see, if someone is wearing a T-shirt, he will

[11:49] feel this way. Ok? [Music] So this is So now you can see the product in front of you. Now one thing that

[12:01] arises here is that when we create designs in this way, then it not going to upload these designs here. We will upload our designs here. Now

[12:14] here there is a front side as well as a back side. If you want to make something on the back side, you can make that too. Otherwise you will save the product. After saving the product, you can connect your listing with your store's [Music] here.

[12:27] So as soon as you publish this product from here, it will give you two options that you can connect it on Shopify here and you can also connect it on AdC. you simply have to click on Connect and approve it from there.

[12:40] Your print store will be connected to your ad and will also be connected to Shoppi. Now what will happen is that if you want to edit your listing here, you can do it edit it by going above the ad, you can do it there also. We're back here on our

[12:54] design, so you can see that it has created all those model images for us. it has created all those model images for us. changed the colour of the shirt also. We did not give white colour there. So

[13:07] if we had given it white color, it would have looked better on white color. So despite that, these have also become images of our models which we can also put on our Etsy product listings. So [music] this is a complete procedure through
