How To Add Products To Your Store

Yeah. All right, everyone, I am excited and I hope you are too. Once again, this is Adrian Morrison and this is one of the favorite things uh for me to teach to my students, I've had students from all over the world and print on demand is just so fun and actually going in and seeing how simple it is to set products live on your store and have them for sale right away is mind blowing and exciting at the same time. So, we have our three recommended apps. Once again, there's various fulfillment apps. Um you can go kind of find the ones that you like. These are the three were using as examples and that I like. And we're gonna go through each one pillow profits, Print full T launch. And we're gonna add a product in each just so you can kind of get a feel for how each app is different. So, we'll start out with pillow profits, it's at the top and we're going to now add a product to our Shopify store. All right, so, we've logged in the app and at the top here, we're gonna hit add products. Oka...

y, now, once we do this, we need to select what product it is that we want to start selling. Okay, now, we have a lot of options. We have pillows or pillow covers, we have tote bags, leather handbag, so on and so forth. So you need to make sure that whatever image it is that you're putting on a product uh, fits on that product and looks good on that product. So, you know, some images may look great on a pillow, but look terrible on this canvas, leather saddlebag or this low top shoe. Right? So, you kinda have to um design when you have your designer do images for you. You kind of need to have them designed them in specific ways if you know, if you have a product in mind that you really want to promote. So let's start out with pillows because there's fun, they're simple, they're cheap, they have great profit margins. When we start creating a pillow on pillow profits, it's very simple. Um one thing that I love about this is that it allows me to create four different variants, so I don't want to just sell one pillow. Typically if somebody comes to my store to purchase a pillow, They're going to buy 2-4, because if you think about it, you put these on your couch or your bed or something and nobody has just one pillow on their bed or one pillow on their couch, they'll do a pillow for each side, or they'll do like a little bundle. So what we're gonna do is we're just gonna step one name of variants, so we're just going to say um this is gonna be a Pitbull pillow, I have a design, I just made just a sample of design. So Pitbull, um let's say white. All right, now, I can take my images. Uh These are images saved on my computer and all I have to do is drag and drop them. This is so called. See this image here. I'm dragging and dropping it from a folder and it's gonna upload it immediately to this pillow, check it out. Alright, and there, you have it short and sweet. So we've got a beautiful looking pillow here. Now in the dog niche, I could be like my german shepherd, my yorkie, my Pomeranian stole my heart. So there's a lot of scalability to this. Um I just wanted to point that out there. I would, if I were teaching my students right now um that have gone through my course and everything, I would be saying, hey, if this pops off, there's a ton of scalability right here, and that's why I love this. Uh these types of niches. Okay, so anyways, we got Pitbull White now um like I said, people are going to buy multiple pillows, people don't just buy one pillow, you know, they're going to buy 23 or four. So what we do is we kind of get our graphic designer to do multiple colors, options of different things. So here we have a black image. All right, so let's go ahead and enter this in and say Pit Bull Black. So now people can get a white pillow and a black pillow. They might like one they might like uh the other, they might like both. And um you know, you can play with the image sizes and everything. Um and you can kind of make a bigger smaller whatever you want to do. Um So you talk to your designer about that. Now we also put in here, Pitbull let's say blue and I have the same design, but I have it with the blue background. And really what I want people to do is buy all four. Okay, So they have all four colors. So here's Pitbull with the blue background. And when when we produce these, the quality of the images will be much higher as well. All right. So these are just like drag and drop mocks at the moment and you'll see here, it tells you exactly what size images you need to put on here for them to work. And they've got all sorts of little files for you. Okay, now the final one will be the pink pillow. So let's go ahead and drag and drop that file over here. So we'll put Pitbull Pink. Now we have the pink pillow. So as you can see here now we have four different colors. And all I did was drag and drop an image that my designer made. Um And now we hit review and publish designs. So at this point now we have to take a look at what we want to put is our description in our title. So our product title, this is what people are gonna see on our Shopify store might say um you know, let's just say Pitbull stole my heart pillows. All right. And then you can put your description here and you could say like um not sold in stores. Get a massive discount on these super cute. Uh you know, my Pit bull stole my heart pillow covers. Okay? And then you might say um if you are a pit bull owner this is for you. All right now you can choose what collection you put these in in your Shopify store. So if you have a pillow collection or pitbull collection or niche collection, whatever you can do that here. Um and then you can also put your selling price. So these pillows are $5 per pillow cover out the door, shipped anywhere in the world um from this specific vendor. Okay so what I typically would do is I would price these at like $12.95 up to $15 per pillow cover because their exclusive, they're not sold in stores, their custom printed. So what I'm teaching my students um I'm telling them, hey don't undercut yourself always, you can always go down on the price but you can never go up. So if these are like $7 per pillow on your store and tomorrow you double the price. People are going to be like, what the heck is going on? But if you start at a higher price, you can kind of tweak it and work your way down until you find the sweet spot for your customers. And I think 12 95 is a solid price for these pillow covers. All right, so we're going to publish product and of course now we are actually preparing the product, adding it to the Shopify store, pillow profits is doing everything Once this is live, people can go buy it on my store and as soon as they make the purchase pillow profits fulfilment, their app will see the order, they'll start printing on it, the pillow covers, they'll ship it to the customer. Everything is done for me after this. So here it is in our store, looks really good. And um we can actually view it on our store and there we go. So let me zoom in real fast. So you got our logo at the top, You got these pillows. Look at a high quality these look, I mean these are just amazing. Um People can come to the drop down menu, they can choose what color they want, pillow profits, created the product, They're going to fulfill the product. All that good stuff for us. Now, we're selling pillows and I can do every dog breed if I wanted to jumping back over here to the app. Let's go back in the pillow profits. Um I wanted to show you just another another thing that they do. That's pretty cool. We're gonna do one more product in here because I think it's important that you see um there's a difference between doing a pillow and then something a bit more um advanced that has curves and stuff. So down here we have the fox fur boots. These have been a really big hit. Uh You were we've we've been able to sell these for around $100 a pair, I believe it is 90 to $100. The cost out the doors. 41 bucks. I just want to kind of show you the difference in how these work. So when you first start creating a pair of these boots, um I've got some different uh Let me see here, I've got some different images I can put on here. So we don't just keep looking at the same image over and over and over again. Okay, I found some. All right. So what we're able to do is we're able to take like really cool patterns and stuff like that um and drag and drop them over here. So let's just drag And then we got to do the left one as well are the right one because you can put a different image on each boot if you want to and you'll see here in just a second. These are more complex images, so they take a little bit longer to load um over here to the left hand side, it tells you exactly what size your image needs to be. So when you're doing print on demand, you got to make sure that the images that you're using our high enough quality image, right? Um So that's always going to be in any print on demand app there. They should be telling you what size image to be using. So now we've created these dog bones boots. So what we could do is say blue fox fur boots. All right now, what we can do is go ahead and hit review and publish designs and so now we're going to repeat the same thing, but this is just to show you how quick you can do it, so we can do bones, fox fur boots, product description. Oh my gosh! These boots are flying off the shelves, um not sold in stores, get a massive discount right now, okay. And you would want to write a little bit more on there, but I'm just trying to be fast. So I would try to sell these at at least 89 99 if not 99 99 because they're very nice. Alright, so publish, publish product, so we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna hit publish. Now, once again, Pillow profits is doing this is what's so amazing about print on demand apps. And this is why I've told all of my students, I've had students from all over the world learned drop shipping from me. And there's all sorts of different ways you could drop ship. And this is why I've told my students that I love print on demand because you can be custom, you can be unique, you can build a solid brand. And there's these cool apps, like the ones I'm showing you here in this module, that within a couple of minutes now you're selling, uh, customized boots. I mean, it's crazy, right? And you've got 100% markup on these bad boys. All right, So that is pillow profits. Now let's jump back over here and let's make a product and print full because print full has different types of products. And um, you know, you really want to be using multiple apps to give your customers a really good selection. So we're going to add products, we're going to create a new product in here. Now. They've got shirts, hats, mugs, uh They've got tote bags, leggings, dresses. I mean they've got some really cool stuff too. So let's do a coffee mug. All right now they've got two different options of coffee mugs and one of them is made in the U. S. And the other one is apparently not. So um I like to go with the ones that give me a better chance of success and then in the future if I want to scale to the uh maybe premium products than that have less of a profit margin on them. I I can do that. But goal number one is to make money. Right? So let's choose the white glossy mug. It's 8 95. That's the cost of the product. Now, you can see that principles widget looks a little bit different. All right. So it's gonna be a little bit different than the last app I showed you. So, what we're gonna do now is we are going to jump over here and grab a new file. Let's just grab that heart, that pit bull heart that I used earlier. Uh, let's see here. Um, Okay, so I'm just gonna drag and drop this. And this is the, the image file that said, uh, my pit bull stole my heart and you'll see here that it's gonna ask me where I want my image placed. Do I want in the center of the mug? Do I want it, you know, to show on a specific side of the mug, like the left side of the right side? Um, so you can kind of move it around and with coffee mugs. Sometimes you have to try one or two times to get it to the right side. You know do you want it on the left side of the right side of the mug? Okay. And they even tell you if your print quality is good, excellent whatever it is. All right. So we've got this here. Let's proceed the mock ups. Now we can choose which side of the mug we want to be um you know showing the left handle, the right handle so and so forth. We can have them all. All right, Let's get rid of the front view. That's not necessary. All right. And proceed. Oh another thing I like is they will produce the mock up on your store in a J. P. G. Um Which will help your store load faster and still high quality or PNG. So they give you that option. Which I think is pretty cool. All right. So then we'll just do uh Pit bull heart mug. Alright? And Pit Bull I believe is actually two different words. And then they kind of fulfill, they put in a description for you. So I think that's pretty cool whether you're drinking your morning coffee, your evening t. Um And so and so forth. So you can add your own custom spin to this uh proceed the pricing. Now they're going to tell you that the 11 2 15 ounce mug is 8 95 to 11 95. They suggest that you sell it for 15 to $20. And so they tell you your profit margins after each one. So that's pretty nice. Now we can submit this to store. If we're happy with the pricing, we can charge more if we want to. Uh They also fulfill what they suggest. Alright, submit to store. You'll see that it is building the Pit bull heart mug, right? So it takes it a second and it's doing um what the other app did, It's published, its building, it it's publishing it to our store. So literally in less than five minutes you can have products, like it doesn't take long before you've got an entire store full of products, right? So let's go to edit this product on your store and you'll notice here that the image, we can just make that our image, it's not perfectly placed. So we might want to go back and edit it, but let's just uh let's preview this. So I can just show you kind of what's happening here. So here it is on our store, kind of shows the different angles and everything, so we've got it right here and um you can edit these images if you like to lead them, like there's no reason to show that view, or or that view. Um you might just want to show this view in this view, because this is kind of like one side and the other side at a slight angle, right? Um so now we've got a coffee mug for sale, and principles going to automatically get these orders are going to process these orders, they're going to ship these orders for us, and they're just an amazing app, like they're once again, they make it very easy to come in and start selling mugs, hats, um leggings, which are popular socks, and you can take this image and pretty much put it on everything right. Um so, coffee mugs, once again, they're a little bit tricky because it's a rounded item and you've got to make sure that you you place the image in just the right spot. Other ones aren't as uh you know, it's tricky, I guess you could say All right, So um once you have your products added from Principal, you can always come in here and you can edit those products, you can view them and Shopify. Um you can see, you know, all the products that are on your store that aren't sink in principle. Obviously you're you're not gonna sink these two, but they kind of they catch every product in the store, which is, I don't think necessary, but they do it. All right, so that's printable, phenomenal company and you're gonna want to come in here and with this app, I think leggings are going to be a big hit, hats are going to be a big hit, and I really think it's cool that you could do dresses, and skirts. I think these four items make printable, quite unique and that's why I like them. All right now, let's jump over to uh t launch another app that I really enjoy using and we can add products in here as well by hitting new product at the top and for this, maybe we'll just do a good old fashioned basic t shirt. Okay, so let's grab this american apparel. Men's t shirts, $14 out the door. Um, well, no, they have shipping on it, so I shouldn't say out the door, but it's $14 product cost And shipping is $4 extra. Now, t shirts, you can pull $25 to $30 a pop on t shirts. American apparel is a very nice brand, so you could probably pull $30 for a shirt like this. Um, additionally, T launch has other options that are cheaper. I just kind of selected the first one. So it's cool because you can do different colors, um uh, different color shirts if you want to, it's very neat, you can do multiple variants. So we're gonna do is, we're just gonna grab our artwork and they want it to be a PNG. Alright, so they'll tell you exactly what you need over here. So let's grab our artwork and we're uploading this Pit Bull heart image and here it is on the shirt now, think about this is you might not want it to be like really big. So what if you just put this over right the chest, like right here? So, my Pit bull stole my heart, see with the T shirt, you can kind of move this around and you can put it anywhere you want to. And I think this is a really great spot because a lot of t shirts have it where, right here on the chest, and that makes sense, because it's got the heart to now, of course, we can do it in different colours, we can have it published in blues and grays, we can have it published in any color we want, right and white. Um and we can do it navy, whatever. We can make sure that we have it in smalls and mediums larges all the way to three XL. And once this is done, um we do the same old thing. We go through and we publish it and it hits our store, and we are done. So we're gonna do is we're gonna go ahead, we are going to review and publish designs, and it's gonna ask us to do the same old stuff. So we're just gonna say, uh Pitbull, we'll say Pitbull stole my heart shirt, and they'll go ahead and they'll put in a semi description already for you, but you would come in here and say, oh my gosh, these Pitbull shirts are so cute, and then you could say something like on sale now um and then not sold in stores, and you can play around with this, and, you know, you can give it more information, like item info, and then you can put your selling price an american apparel, I put 29 99 for the t shirt, and then, of course, hit published your store, and ultimately, you need to, you know, you're gonna have to sell the product for whatever people are willing to pay for it, so you have to test around at the price, but you see how it's adding all the sizes, all the colors, it's so cool. Um T shirts are, are great sellers. I got started in print on demand selling t shirts. So the very first print on demand item I ever sold where it was a T shirt and I ended up getting hooked and I sold so many of them, I told my students how to sell t shirts and I taught them how to sell pillow covers and I taught them how to sell shoes and it's just been growing um a growing experience where we've evolved from something simple to selling like really crazy high ticket print on demand items and people absolutely love it. Like our customers come in and they just stock up on everything. Thing is, is if they like the pillows that we made on pillow profits to say my pit bull stole my heart and then they see the coffee mug like, oh my gosh, I've got to have the coffee mug to and then they see the T shirt, I might as well get the T shirt and you'll find that some customers will like a graphic so much that they will come in and they will buy like five different items with the same thing. I bet right now some of you that are watching this have done something similar. I know I do, if I really like something, I buy it in every color. I have a coffee mugs and T shirts and stuff myself. So now we can view the product now it is finished. Um it is on our Shopify store, you'll see that all of the colors are here, all of the variants and the sizes are in here. It's crazy. It's all done for me. That's why T launches so great. We can view it on our store and now people can quickly choose what color t shirt they want, right? And they can come in here and they can choose what size they want and they can check out and they can buy this and they can also, you know, go get those other items and each one of these Shopify, print on demand apps will automatically fulfill everything for you. You've just got to build them, put the graphics on them and you know, do the marketing and they'll do the shipping and the processing and all that stuff for you. It's just an amazing opportunity, I'm so glad that you're here and you're watching this course and you're watching these videos because this is one of those opportunities for newbies and even advanced marketers and e commerce store owners to get started with little risk. I mean we're not stocking anything here, it didn't cost me anything to put this T shirt up for sale. I only stand to gain from this if somebody makes a purchase right? The fulfillment company Prince it. Um they ship it. I never see it. I never touch it. All I know is I mark it up. I get paid and they do all of the, I would say the hard work which is the fulfillment. Right? So that being said, I hope you enjoyed this video. Um This has been a video on the three top recommended print on demand apps, pillow profits, print fel and T. Launch. I gave you a couple of examples. I hope that you learned a lot. I hope you go download these apps or not download them but one click install them on your Shopify store and you get started selling some print on demand stuff. Mm
