I'll show you how you can sell stickers
[1]
like these to make money in no time at all.
[4]
First go to Pexels
[5]
which is a site you can use to get free images from.
[8]
Search for what you want.
[10]
For this example, I'll type "cat".
[12]
Here are thousands of adorable cat pictures.
[15]
I'll go with this one.
[16]
Click download.
[17]
Now you've got the image,
[19]
go to Remove.bg.
[21]
This removes the background automatically for free.
[24]
Select your image.
[25]
And it takes less than a second
[26]
for the background to be removed.
[28]
Download it and then upload it to Redbubble
[31]
so you can sell it as a sticker.
[32]
Click here to change the markup.
[35]
If you set it to 100%
[36]
you'll get between $3.59 and $26.60 profit
[41]
every time someone buys it.
[43]
You can leave it at about 20% until you get your first sale
[46]
and then increase after that.
[48]
That way you know the margin isn't responsible
[50]
for you not getting any sales.
[51]
Now, I know that you're a responsible person,
[54]
so you must be thinking, hang on Uncle Owl, is this legal?
[58]
What does the licensing look like?
[60]
Here it is on Pexels for you.
[62]
All photos and videos can be used for free.
[65]
Attribution isn't required,
[67]
but... you can't sell unaltered copies.
[72]
So the question is, does cutting out part of the image
[74]
count is altering it?
[76]
According to the terms and conditions
[78]
and specifically clause 5.5,
[81]
you can use the content in any way you want
[83]
even commercially, but you need to update, modify
[88]
or, otherwise incorporate new creative elements.
[91]
Now there's no written definition
[93]
as to what the words "modify" or "update" actually mean.
[96]
I contacted Pexels weeks ago for clarification
[99]
but got no response.
[101]
If I get an update, I will put in the description for you
[103]
so check down there.
[105]
For now though, if you want to play it safe,
[107]
in addition to updating and modifying
[109]
the image on Remove.bg, you can also incorporate
[112]
new creative elements into the design.
[115]
This can be as simple as drawing something on the images
[118]
like these glasses, or this skateboard,
[122]
or this beard and hat, whatever you want.
[124]
It really doesn't have to be amazing.
[126]
In fact, sometimes the more ridiculous it is
[128]
the better it sells.
[130]
People love weird stickers, and you can incorporate elements
[134]
from your chosen niche into the design
[136]
so it appeals to your target audience.
[138]
You can also edit stuff like the saturation or the color,
[141]
Control + U is the keyboard shortcut for this.
[144]
I'll go to layer style and drop shadow to add a shadow,
[147]
or stroke to add an outline.
[150]
Whatever effects you think will look good on your image.
[153]
Now let's take it to the next level.
[155]
You can get a few images from the same search
[158]
or find similar images like I'm doing with these cats.
[162]
Remove the backgrounds again with Remove.bg.
[164]
Then just drag them into Photoshop
[167]
and make a sticker pack by placing them together.
[169]
This means customers get several stickers for the same price
[173]
a better deal so they're more likely to buy from you
[175]
instead of someone offering only one sticker.
[178]
And they'll probably buy a bigger size too
[180]
which means more profit for you.
[181]
You can even add text if you want.
[183]
Something relevant to your chosen niche,
[186]
which will then be cut out
[187]
as another sticker for your customer.
[189]
The canvas size you'll want to use is 2,800 by 2,800.
[194]
This makes sure all your stickers fit on all sizes
[197]
offered by Redbubble.
[198]
You can search for whatever you want
[200]
and find thousands of images to choose from.
[202]
What about a cactus themed sticker pack for plant lovers?
[205]
Same process again, just download it, remove the background
[208]
and edit it in whatever way you want.
[211]
There's thousands of images to choose from.
[213]
If you want to cute animal pack
[215]
there's almost 60,000 results to look through.
[217]
If you go to the top right,
[218]
you can filter by orientation, size and color.
[222]
Search for Halloween, and you can create seasonal packs
[225]
to target Halloween, or Christmas.
[227]
You can do this for big events through the year,
[229]
or just go for evergreen content
[231]
that will sell all year round.
[232]
There are lots of websites
[234]
like Pexels you can use to find images like these.
[237]
Pixabay is another good one.
[238]
And there's Unsplash and Pikwizard.
[241]
I'll put a whole list of them in the description
[243]
so you can use whatever you want.
[245]
You can combine elements from these sites
[247]
to create something great.
[248]
There's also loads of websites with free vector images
[251]
for commercial use.
[252]
I'll put a list of them in the description as well.
[255]
Just check the licensing
[256]
and make sure you can use each image
[257]
that you like the look of.
[259]
On Pexels, you can click any image
[261]
and see the licensing information underneath.
[264]
And click info for more detailed specifications.
[267]
Make sure you read the license
[268]
if you're using a different platform
[270]
as you don't wanna get in trouble.
[272]
Once you've done it a few times though,
[273]
you'll get to know the websites
[274]
and it will become second nature.
[276]
One final bit of advice for you about sizing
[278]
and making sure your products look great,
[280]
Remove.bg gives you a transparent file for free,
[284]
but the resolution isn't huge as you can see.
[286]
You can get the full HD resolution download
[289]
but you'll need 1 credit.
[291]
The first credit's free for signing up.
[293]
Then it works at out about 16 cents per image
[296]
if you want huge resolution files to use on Redbubble.
[299]
If you don't want to pay
[300]
then you can resize the images yourself manually
[302]
using Photoshop or Photopea.
[305]
Just drag your image in and adjust it however you want.
[308]
That will affect the quality though.
[310]
There is a free site called Waifu,
[312]
which can upscale your image to twice the size
[314]
without losing quality.
[316]
That wizardry is beyond my comprehension but it works
[319]
and it's great.
[320]
I'll put this page from Redbubble in the description
[322]
so you can check it out
[323]
and get more tips about how to design for stickers.
[326]
