While exploring various online tutorials about earning money through Etsy, I noticed that many of them primarily emphasize on the design aspect, leaving out a comprehensive step-by-step guide that covers everything from generating ideas to listing products in your store. This realization prompted me to consider creating such guides. So, let’s get right to it!
In this article, I will demonstrate a one-click method to create stickers surpassing the capabilities of mid-journey, and it’s absolutely free. Additionally, I’ll guide you through setting up a user-friendly shop that outperforms Etsy.
Step 1: Coming up with sticker ideas
Using ChatGPT, stickers are delightful little pictures that you can adore in your notebooks, phone, or anything else, adding a touch of charm and helping you express your emotions or interests. Let’s have some creative fun and generate some fantastic stickers that you can sell.
Step 2: Creating the stickers
In this step, we’ll dive into the process of actually creating the stickers. We’ll focus on removing backgrounds and enhancing images efficiently and effortlessly. The tool we’ll be using for this purpose is leonardo.ai, which proves to be a superior choice compared to mid-journey because it provides a free plan, making it more accessible and cost-effective.
Step 3: Upscaling the images
While Leonardo AI has some upscaling options, I’ve discovered a tool that does an even better job and saves your tokens. Upscale Media is a great tool for upscaling images without signing up, but if you need to upscale pictures in bulk, you’ll need to create an account.
Step 4: Setting up an online shop
For beginners, Redbubble is a more user-friendly option compared to Etsy. It offers a simplified process that covers everything you need to sell your stickers, including printing and shipping, all within their platform. This makes it an excellent choice, especially for those new to online selling.
Step 5: Driving traffic to your shop
One effective way to drive traffic to your shop is by creating an Instagram page and showcasing your sticker designs there. You can also use social media platforms like TikTok or YouTube Shorts to share videos featuring your stickers and include your shop link in the video description.
By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to creating and selling your own stickers online. Good luck with your online venture!
