Digital AI Product Success Stories
This guy Nick made $6,350 selling this digital AI product, and this woman Shannon made $392,000 selling the same thing. Many more like them are making full-time incomes selling a unique digital AI product that you can make using a couple of free online tools and ChatGPT. So, let’s dive right into how to do this!
Getting Started with ChatGPT
First of all, you’re going to go over to create your image ChatGPT, and over on the left here, you’re going to click on “Explore GPT.” It’s a section of ChatGPT where people have programmed their own versions of ChatGPT that can do a lot of extra things above and beyond what ChatGPT can do all by itself.
Creating AI Generated Images
After you click on “Explore GPTs,” you’re going to search for “Free AI Image Generator,” and you’re going to click on this one right here. Then, you’re going to click “Start Chat,” and then you’re going to put this exact search into the box: “Boho Floral Design Seamless Tile.” It’s going to ask you a couple of questions right here. You can just ignore all that and type the word “no,” and you can see the image that it created right there.
Understanding Seamless Patterns
What we wanted to make is an image that we could multiply a bunch of times, and it would create a seamless image. As many times as we combined copies of this image together, it would create one giant image following the same pattern. You wouldn’t be able to tell that it’s a combination of a bunch of images. That’s why we use the word “seamless tile” when you do this.
Pattern Matching Process
Whatever image it generates, you just want to make sure that what the image looks like on the right-hand side of it and what the image looks like on the left-hand side of it match so that it could become a seamless pattern if you combined a bunch of them together. So you can see that if you did that with this one that was first generated, that would not work. Sometimes you have to ask ChatGPT to make a second one if it doesn’t get it exactly right the first time.
Second Image Generation
So I’m just asking it to do it again. Now, if you look at this second one, you can see that if you combine this one together with a bunch of copies of itself, it would create an infinite pattern, and you wouldn’t be able to tell where the lines are.
Image Resizing Steps
Now our next step, we’re going to go over to Photo, and basically what this site does – “Resize Image” – is makes any image that you have and basically just makes it smaller, because for this project that we’re going to do, we need this image to be a little bit smaller than it is. So we’re going to go over here, we’re going to click “Open” from our computer, and here’s our image.
Image Cropping Process
Now we are going to just click “Crop” over here. We’re going to click these three lines, and we’re going to change this to be 400. Then we’re going to click this crop button again, and we’re going to pull this over until you have the numbers in the black box say “400×400.” That’s the size that you need for this particular side hustle that I’m explaining to you, and you’re just going to click “Delete Crop Pixels” and the check mark.
Patterico Website Steps
You can just ignore everything else, and then we’re just going to save that. Then for our next step, we’re going to go over to create tiled image to a site called Patterico. I don’t even know how to say it, but once you go there, you’re going to click on this little button right here – “Emoji Patterns.”
Custom Pattern Creation
Then what I want you to do is we’re going to create a custom image, so we’re just going to press that button, and you can see there’s our 400×400 image that we just created in the last step. I’m going to select that and click it, and you can see that it has expanded it to cover the entire screen. You can see how it’s taken that one square and it’s made it into a pattern that covered everything so it’s seamless.
Final File Conversion
Then we’re just going to click “Download as PNG.” The next thing we’re going to do is we’re going to go over to Canva and we’re going to turn this PNG file into an SVG file. And you can see right here, I’m just going to upload that image, and it’s going to open it in Canva, and literally all you’re going to do is open it and then you’re going to go ahead and click download right away, but you’re going to click download in SVG. And so what we’ve done here, we’ve basically created an image pattern that could be infinitely multiplied, and the pattern would just continue and continue and continue seamlessly, and you’re probably wondering “Making money?”
Making Money with Digital Patterns
“How am I actually going to make money with this?” Do you remember those two people that I showed at the very beginning of this video? Well, you can see Nia right here has a store called “Clip Art Creations,” and if you look at what they’re selling, they’re selling this exact thing that we just made.
Understanding Seamless Patterns
It’s a digital seamless image, which means it’s an image that you could use to create textiles, to print on fabric, to print on posters – anything that you want. It would be a seamless background, and this pattern would just be able to be repeated forever and ever. Similar, if you look at Shannon’s store, she’s mainly selling these seamless images that can be downloaded and used for all kinds of pattern use.
Selling on Fiverr
So I’m going to show you exactly how to set this up properly to sell on Etsy in just a second, but I want to show you another way to make money with this. This seamless pattern that you just created, if you go on this website “Fiverr” (which is mainly used to sell services), you can see people are also selling these digital seamless patterns as a service.
Earning Potential
So you can see right here, “I will design a seamless repeat vector pattern for textile prints” – 724 reviews, which means this person has gotten at least 724 buyers of this product and selling them for $30 each. So if we multiply $30 by 724, you can see this Fiverr seller has made $21,720.
Custom Service Benefits
You can charge a lot more for it if you’re doing it as a service, which means someone would come to you and say, “Hey, I have this image or I have this logo, could you make a seamless pattern for me so I can print it on a poster board or I can print it on a textile?” Because it’s a custom service, you can charge a lot more than you could on Etsy.
Success Stories
And you could literally use the free tools that I just showed you to custom create any kind of seamless pattern for a client on Fiverr. You can see how many people are doing this – we’ve got this one made 833 sales for $15, 344 sales for $25, this one down here 1000+ sales for $30 each, and you can see it only takes a few minutes using those free tools.
Real-World Examples
So if someone came to you and said, “My daughter really likes cartoon elephants and it’s her birthday, could you create a seamless pattern so I can print a tablecloth for her birthday party that’s covered in cartoon elephants?” You could literally go over to ChatGPT, just like I showed you, have it create for you a seamless pattern full of cartoon elephants and sell it to a client on Fiverr for $30 or $25.
Monthly Income Potential
Or maybe a business owner would come to you with their business logo and say, “We want a vinyl poster with our business logo repeated in a seamless pattern, could you create a custom seamless pattern image for us?” Now if you combine an Etsy shop with the Fiverr technique that I just described, you’re probably going to make between $2,000 and $5,000 per month.
Client Communication and Time Investment on Fiverr
The disadvantage of it is that you’re going to have to continually be serving clients on Fiverr, right? The clients are going to come and ask you to create the images, you’re going to have to go through the process that I just showed you. It doesn’t take very much time, but there is going to be time involved in communicating back and forth with your clients, coming up with new Fiverr gigs.
Alternative Autopilot Business Model
If you’re interested in a more autopilot business model, that free auto-pilot business class doesn’t require constantly dealing with clients on Fiverr or constantly creating these images over and over and over.
Google Maps Income Generation
That doesn’t require you to continually serve clients day in and day out, and it’s a completely different business model. Doesn’t have anything to do with Fiverr or Etsy, that actually uses a loophole in Google Maps to generate income for you day in and day out whether you’re working or not. Now it does require a little work to get the initial setup and to learn how it all works, but once you get it going, it’ll generate residual income for you. It’s a system that’ll generate income for you.
Etsy Product Preparation
I did promise that I’d show you specifically how to get all set up on Etsy, so I’m going to show you how to do that now. Before you get set up on Etsy, more tips on setup and selling or even on Fiverr, you want to go through the process that I showed you at the beginning of this video to create about 10 different images because you want to sell like a 10-pack of them or something like that, and you want to save them all in a folder on your hard drive so you can access them later.
Etsy Store Setup Process
Once you have the product created and you’ve got 10 of them, then it’s time to actually set up the product on Etsy. Once you set up a brand new Etsy account right away, it’s going to ask you to add a product to your Etsy store, and we want to have a nice looking cover image to use for the product. Like if you see right here, “Papers by Helen,” she has all different types of products that she’s selling, but each one has an image that’s sort of like the feature image. Same thing with Fiverr, you see how they have a feature image there and has a little bit of text on top of it to kind of tell what it is.
Creating Product Images in Canva
So we’re going to create that first. What I’m going to do is I’m going to go back over to Canva. You can do this in any image editor, by the way. We’re just using Canva ’cause we already have the image in Canva from before, and I’m just going to click “Add a Heading” and then I’m just going to type in the words “Seamless Tile Pattern,” and then we’re going to download that and then we’re going to go over to Etsy.
Uploading Products to Etsy
And so it’ll bring you to a screen it looks something like this, and this is a digital file so I’m going to click that, and then it’s a tool to make things, and then right here I’m going to check “with an AI generator.” I’m going to click right here “Made between 2020 to 2024,” and then we’re going to click continue, and for our title, I’m just going to literally copy what other people have as their titles ’cause a lot of times other Etsy sellers know which keywords to put in and stuff like that. So I’m going to use that, and then for our photos, we’re just going to upload that photo that we made before that had the words overlaid over the top of it, and then I’m going to scroll down here and then we’re going to click add all of our digital files. You remember earlier I told you to make 10 seamless patterns.
Upload Process for Etsy Listings
So you’re going to follow the process at the beginning of this video 10 times, and you’re going to upload all of them right here when Etsy asks you to do it. So I’m just putting in this for my description. You can use the text that I have put in for your own Etsy description, just change it a little bit so it’s not exactly the same. Obviously, you’re not going to have the exact same type of images.
Setting Up Product Details
Then for quantity “1,” then we’re going to do “Digital Files Instant Download.” And then for category, if you look over here at this other store, you can see she has hers categorized under “Digital Paper Packs,” so we’re going to use the exact same category. And you can add some tags in there. It’s probably a good idea to copy successful sellers and see what kind of tags they have, and everything else here looks good, so we’re just going to click “Publish.”
Etsy and Fiverr Setup Comparison
And just like that, our seamless tile pattern is all set up. We’ve uploaded the digital products, and we are ready to start getting orders on Etsy. If you want to set up on Fiverr, it’s going to be a similar process. You want to go and look at successful sellers on Fiverr and seeing what kind of cover image do they have, what kind of descriptions do they have, what kind of pricing do they have, and basically imitate what they’re doing in your own listing.
Pricing Strategy for Fiverr
One key thing with Fiverr – it really helps if when you first get started, you offer your service at a price much lower than the other Fiverr sellers. Because that way, it’ll get you some orders very quickly because you’ll be the cheapest one, because a lot of what helps you get more customers on Fiverr is if you have positive reviews.
Product Diversification
Now I’ll say both on Fiverr and on Etsy, you want to set up a bunch of different products. So on Fiverr, you want to have different services that showcase different types of designs, and on Etsy, you want to do the same thing. You want to have tons of different patterns that people can choose from.
Understanding the Workload
So the example at the beginning of this video, we did a boho design, but take a look at the other sellers that are selling this type of thing and see how many different patterns they are offering for sale. Obviously, I realize it’s going to be a lot of work creating tons of images to sell on Etsy, and it’s also going to be a lot of work constantly creating custom designs for buyers on Fiverr.
Free Online Business Class
And like I said before, that’s why I created the free class that I’m offering in the link in the description of this video. For those of you that don’t want to continually have to work and work and work to make money, the link in the description of this video has a free class for you on how to make residual income 100% online.
