Whether you’d like to cover your basic cost of living expenses put a little extra money into savings or make some generous donations to Wall Street 100 a day can actually make a huge difference from my personal experience making a hundred dollars a day online in a somewhat passive manner is some of the
Most magical life-changing money that I’ve made just being able to pay essential bills or have some extra cash coming in can enable you to pursue businesses Hobbies or whatever you find meaningful in life in this video I want to share with you five products that you could start selling online today that
Can get you to 100 a day fairly easily and hopefully far beyond fast now for this first product to make sense we have to talk about this guy Jim Carrey now early in his acting career in 1985 Jimmy wrote himself a check for 10 million dollars for acting services rendered
Payable Thanksgiving 10 years later in 1995. he then carried that fake check in his wallet until 1994 when he was actually we paid the real 10 million dollars for his role in Dumb and Dumber now this story just illustrates his belief in visualization and manifestation transforming thoughts or
That check he wrote himself into reality now the reason I’m telling you this is because regardless of whether or not you believe in manifestation or transforming thought energy into reality a lot of people do believe in it and they want to duplicate this kind of success and
That’s exactly why this first shop has been so successful this shop called manifestable is absolutely killing it selling these digital download manifestation planners and journals they have this very clear aesthetic on all of their products and they sell everything from digital stickers to student calendars and they only have 24 listings
They’re selling almost everything for five to six dollars but since it’s a digital download they keep almost all of it in profit even if you don’t have experience making planners calendars or stickers it’s probably pretty easy to pick up they’re just making it as a template so the customer gets a PDF and
The template file to use inside of goodnotes they’ve just taken the digital planner digital sticker product and targeted the manifestation Niche with it and been extremely profitable Now using a tool called Allura which I’ll leave a link for down below we can see that over the last year almost to this day they’ve
Made over six hundred and seventy thousand dollars and just in this month they’ve made fifty six thousand dollars again almost all Profit just minus the Etsy fees since it’s a digital product and they’ve only been going for a year and they only have 24 products this is
Why I always say that regardless of the competition you can still make products work this is just a great example of selling the same product as a ton of other people but using unique targeting to absolutely kill it I’ve chosen products that will work well if you’re
Able to sell on eBay or Etsy but if you aren’t or you don’t want to you could still launch these products on your own Shopify store the only real difference is eBay and Etsy Drive their own organic traffic so it’s kind of like free marketing but out of Shopify you’ll have
To drive your own traffic I would give this profitability a 5 out of 5 since it is a digital product the manifestation planner Niche is at around 11 000 listings so I would say this is less competitive than a lot of the other products and the startup costs are going to be
Only about ten dollars if you need to pay for good note but that’s only a one-time fee now a product that’s also quite popular and in a similar Niche to what we just looked at is wall tapestries now this would be kind of interesting to sell alongside the manifestation Niche I’m guessing that
Sometimes it’s a similar crowd but these are basically just cool looking kind of hippie wall tapestries now this shop is selling these tapestries with all different kinds of designs on them but mostly these kind of hippie looking natural designs with a lot of plants some mountains and psychedelic mushroom
Looking things this shop really knows their target audience so they can crank out products for them now this shop opened a little over a year ago and they’re currently making around 6 600 Canadian dollars each month now they’re only at about 73 listings so they could definitely up their listings and
Probably get more sales there are more successful shops like this one they’re doing similar things to the other shops but they’re also selling some of these more realistic style images that I think are doing quite well for them this shop has solved quite a bit more around 185
000 USD and they’re bringing in about 11 000 a month which is a bit more than a hundred dollars a day in profit as well now you might be wondering how we would even make and fulfill these tapestries if this is supposed to be a mostly passive slide hustle and the answer is
Print on demand print on demand is not like traditional Drop Shipping you work with a company like printified who provides you with white label products these products can be a variety of different things but in this example we could just sell this tapestry all I’d have to do to make the
Product is just upload a design I made this design using Ai and then I can position it and scale it to however I want it to look and then it’s ready to sell since printify connects directly with a bunch of different platforms including Etsy I can publish this
Product directly to my Etsy shop where it can be purchased the interesting thing that a lot of beginners Miss is that you don’t pay for any product up front you’ll only ever pay after a customer has already bought a product from you for example if someone buys
This tapestry that we’ve just made we would have already made money this means that when I click submit on the order in printify they’ll charge me for the product and then they’ll print it and ship it off directly to the customer’s door and then I’m left at the difference
As a profit this is the business model that I’ve used for the last four years or so and you guys are starting to see success as well over 750 people have signed up using my link from down below and started making money and those are just the ones that I can track because
They’ve signed up using my link and almost 300 of those people came from just last month so it’s exciting to see that this method is working really well for you guys too now the profit margins on this side hustle can vary depending on the complexity of the art but I would
Have to give this one a 3.5 out of 5 since there’s still potential to make a good profit but it’ll be harder to get those really good designs unless you’re using AI the competition for this one would be a bit harder there’s a lot of listings in this space so you have to
Get really specific with your Target and know who your audience is with your keywords like the shops that we looked at I’d have to say that this Niche is moderate or hard to sell in the startup costs would be quite low if you can already make these kind of designs then
You’re probably good to go for free but if you need an image AI like mid journey and an image upscaler then you’re probably looking at about twenty dollars a month now this next product is one that I’ve actually sold online myself this was back in my early days but it
Actually did really well for me and had great profit margins the product was a mapped print I stopped selling this product which might sound like a red flag but I only stopped because I was selling custom map prints and I wanted to stop selling all of the custom
Products so I could switch to pre-made products which are a little bit more passive now with this Shop sells pre-made and custom map prints it’s just a stylized map of an area with some labels on it people buy these as decorations for their house or just as
Gifts to give to someone this also makes your job as a designer super easy because you’re basically just selling one product it’s just a stylized map and it can be for any location this also means that your target audience is a lot larger because you can Target people in
Multiple different cities towns States or countries or whatever you can think of Allura estimates that this shop is done 445 thousand dollars in all-time sales but for just this month they’ve done around 6 200 so that means at a 50 profit margin they’re making about a hundred dollars a day there are much
More successful shops like this one but they’ve also branched out into selling more similar custom items like these star maps and other somewhat related items they’ve been much more successful though making around 735 000 pounds which I believe is about a million dollars and just this month
They’ve done about 27 000 pounds which is about 35 000 USD so much more than a hundred dollars a day as for the score profit margins would be a four out of five you’re able to sell both digital and physical print-on-demand products and your physical products still have a
Really good profit margin the competition for map prints is very high if they’re at a half a million listings but you’re probably going to be more specific than that you would want to sell specific locations so for example a Los Angeles map this would show you that
There’s not a lot of competition at all if you’re selling specific locations so very low competition startup costs would only include the software that you would use to generate the maps if needed but when I was selling these I always found a way to get it for free so this can be
A literal zero startup cost but if you do need the software you’ll probably be looking at around 50 a month I live in the lovely state of Colorado and one thing that I’ve noticed living here is that if you go into some of the local shops either downtown or in the
Mountains they’re basically just like real life Etsy shops and as I’ve done more traveling I’m kind of realizing that’s the case everywhere but one thing that all of these shops always sell is dish towels it’s like a staple of any local shop but you could just sell it
Online with no Financial Risk or having to open up a physical brick and mortar business look at this shop that only sells dish towels most of them are custom so I guess people like having their name on dish towels but they’re all really simple designs that you could
Easily make inside of canva they’re making monthly about 518 sales so if they’re making roughly a six dollar profit on each order that’d be about a hundred dollars a day there’s a lot of other shops that sell dish towels more successfully this shop I’m almost certain is using AI to make their
Graphics I mean look at the text on this bottle here it looks exactly like an AI would do and if this Shop sells dish towels but they’ve also branched out into a lot of other products to help them get even more sales and they’re doing a lot more at around thirty
Thousand dollars a month for the score on this one your profit margins are lower than some of the other ideas because you do have to sell a physical product and a lot of people don’t want to pay a big premium since it is a common product
So I give it around a 2.5 out of 5 for profit just remember that you could always use this as an additional product or add additional products to this store to get even more sales in the Home Goods Niche the competition for these towels is getting into the competitive range
But if you’re smarter about it and you targeted something like the monogram dish towels you can be more specific and reduce your composition significantly so I would consider this under 10 000 listings to be low you wouldn’t have to pay for canva to make designs you couldn’t do everything inside of figma
For free and the shop that we looked at only has 58 listings so if you used my link below you’d get 40 free listings and you can start this business for basically zero dollars idea number five is a similar concept to what we saw with the first job which is selling a product
That a lot of other people are selling but to a new Niche group and this shop is selling tote bags and pencil bags aimed at kids this is kind of a unique angle because they just offer the customer to change the name on the front of the bag before it’s printed what I
Like about this shop is they’re offering blank items which they can fulfill at a super low cost and it kind of acts as their price bait and then they’re offering a one or two-sided print that means that even on the one-sided print option they’re still making around eight
Dollars and fifty cents each order if they’re doing 739 sales each month on average that’s over six thousand two hundred dollars a month or just two hundred dollars a day so even if you were half as successful you can still make a hundred dollars a day the profit margins on this item are
Pretty good almost 50 percent which means you don’t have to sell as many items per month to still make a good income just like the first shop that we talked about they’re selling the same product as everyone else just with a unique angle the issue with this product
Is that if you don’t have a good angle to take you’re competing with over 1 million other listings so this Niche has to get a one out of five for competition unless you’ve got that good angle as for the startup costs this business doesn’t have it you might spend a few dollars on
The mock-ups but everything else can be done completely for free inside of figma or any other design software and speaking of making designs if you don’t know how to make them you can watch this video next which will teach you all of the tools you need to make t-shirt or
Any other kind of designs that you could think of I hope this video was helpful and as always I’ll talk to you soon foreign
Are you married? 😘😘
how did you make your maps when you were selling them
I would like to see a video from you where you would address practical issues such like sales tax and other federal taxes and also, what is the real cost of selling x expected profit. It would be great if you could just pick a platform such as Etsy and put in perspective the number of sellers and the concentration of sales among the number of sellers. Thank you for your content.
Etsy is not available in my country😢
Only @wildvestcorps page is the best trading platform I have been making a good profit ::
Hey Alek, I've been watching a lot of your videos just recently, and I am wanting your advice. If I create good designs, would it be better to have multiple companies/stores on etsy selling one product each (ie. mugs, shirts, bags, etc.) all sharing the good designs between each store? Or should I have one store and have multiple products with the good designs? So far, from your content, I am seeing that I should have multiple stores specializing in one type of product, but is it fine to share designs between the stores I am running? So I can have the same design on my mugs from my mug store, and the same design on my shirts from my shirt store?
Gothamchess brother teaching us how to make money
How the hell are these shops selling wall tapestry for $14? POD providers carry them for much higher prices.
Can this be done from India too
Great job! I find this channel a good help in understanding the unique problems facing we individuals, I wish they taught me this in college. As a beginner I was scared of losing my savings, you've helped me a lot Pam Joan Birnie. Imagine investing $2000 and receiving $8,600.
You should make a video Alek about the changes in Etsy and how theyre affecting your business. You're one of the only businesses on youtube that I trust.
I use ink scape or vector to enlarge my art.
This is awesome. I've been selling for about three weeks. 8 sales. Hoping it gets easier!
Your so helpful
Hey Alek,
What A.I. are you using to get the higher resolution images for the tapestries as Midjourney doesn't have higher res images from what I've seen.
Does anyone have a link to where you can see what the different sellers on Etsy sell for, perhaps per week, month, or year? Kindly note in the link.
Didn't know that Printify had tapestries, thanks man, published two before your video was over, lol. Seriously though, thanks for your videos, they are helpful and inspiring.
did goodnotes up their price by 20 bucks lmao
Amazing content creator 😊
Hello Alek , I have a few questions. I am thinking about starting an online store in selling wall art & digital downloads. What would be a good way to start?
I noticed you didnt call out the coffee mugs you always discuss? Thinking because the competition has become insane?
Business opportunities are all around us, you just need to have your eyes opened, mine were opened with the help of my financial mentor mr Robert Andrew
oh no remove the music asap and never have music in any videos. your content is already good dont need music
Hey @spearworks, did you receive an answer to your question as I am also interested? | What are the paid software apps people use to create stylized maps and nice-looking map designs?
