this guy Byron made $38,700. This other guy made $28,896.22. And you can do this using a free chat GPT account and a Google Drive account. The more I looked into this, I was shocked by how many people are making money with this. Like here's a woman named Jazman who made $2,493 with this. And here's another guy that made $40,200. Give me some good prompts for images if I'm going to be using the images as t-shirt designs. Now we're not going to be selling T-shirts here, don't worry, just stick with me. This is a much easier business model that expands way beyond t-shirts and requires no selling of physical products whatsoever or shipping or anything like that. And in fact, I didn't even know about this business model until I saw all these people making huge money with it that I showed you in the screenshots. Now the next thing that we're going to do is sign up for an Etsy account. You just

search in Google for Etsy and click on sign in right there. You can click continue with Google. That's kind of the simplest way to do it. And again, we're not going to be selling homemade crafts or any kind of t-shirts or anything like you normally would sell on Etsy. This is a totally unique Etsy loophole that you probably have never seen before. Now, once you have created the Etsy account, I want you to click right here, get started. And then we're going to click let's do this. And right here, we're just going to click I'm starting to sell for the first time ever. And for this one, we're just going to scroll to the bottom. And we're going to click skip this question. We are going to click on start your shop. And right here, we're just going to put in our language preferences. I'm putting US dollars for mine because I'm in the United States. Then we're going to name our shop. And I'm just going to name it Design Elites. You can make up a name for your shop.

really doesn't matter what it's called. And then pretty much your shop is set up and ready to go for this Etsy loophole. Now, you're probably wondering where I'm going with all this, so let me show you some live examples of this loophole in action. And to do this, we're going to have to do a little spying on some different Etsy shop owners. Now, this is a website here called Allura. And what Allura does is it goes through and it pulls data from all the Etsy stores that are out there. And it can actually show you how much they're actually making. And so I just brought up this shop here called Epoca, which is a store doing the exact thing that's this loophole I'm about to teach you. And you can see right here they made $28,896 on this specific Etsy loophole. Now, if we go over to Etsy and we look at the Epoca shop, which you can see right here. And if you look at one of their items, a lot of their items are all just like this. You can see what they're

actually selling is a pack of 300,000 t-shirt designs. Now, they're not actually selling the t-shirts. They're actually just selling a downloadable file that contains thousands and thousands of unique designs that you could put on t-shirts. And it's so easy to do. I'm going to show you all how to do it in this video. If we go over to this guy here, Byron, you can see he's doing the exact same thing, selling t-shirt designs. And if I copy his store name here and I paste it into this Allura spy tool and search for it, you can see he's made $38,711 selling these downloadable t-shirt design packs. If you look at this one, Embroidery Gallery PDF, this person has made $222,450 selling downloadable graphic packs just like this. And the nice thing is we can generate all of these images using AI in just a few minutes. So let's go back to our Etsy setup because we only got partway through it. I wanted to show you kind of the income potential.

there and let's continue. So this is where we stopped in our store setup. At this point in the setup, it's asking us what kind of item are we selling. And like I just showed you, we are actually selling a digital file. Right here you want to check a supply or tool to make things. And then when did you make it, we're going to put 2020 to 2024 'cause we're making it right now. And then we're going to click save and continue design or anything like that. Then we're going to click next. And here we're going to put in the title of the item. And I have a little notepad file, text file that I'm using here so I can copy and paste it over. But you can just put something like this, a vintage retro t-shirt design bundle. And I like to include other keywords like PNG files, custom apparel, DIY projects, digital. That's just so the Etsy search will bring up my product when people are searching for this kind of thing. I'm just going to drag some t-shirt designs.

that I have. I'm going to show you how to generate these using AI in just a second, and I'm uploading 10 different images. I would encourage you to upload as many images as you can. Again, we're going to have hundreds and hundreds of these by the time we're done with this video, so just stick with me. And then I'm just going to put this description in, which I actually had ChatGPT write this description for me. The next step is to actually use AI to generate all the images that we are going to be selling. So you're not going to have to create any images yourself. They're all going to be created by AI. You remember earlier when I had you set up a ChatGPT account. We're going to go back to that ChatGPT. And remember I had you type in this prompt. And so basically, we're going to use ChatGPT to give us our ideas for the t-shirts. That way you don't even have to come up with the ideas for the t-shirt designs yourself. And you can see

it's given me 10 different ideas, and I like this one down here, which is a retro illustration of a Classic 60s muscle car. And then I'm going to go over to this free tool called Leonardo, and I am going to paste that text directly in and have it generate for me the T-shirt design. And you see right there, it's created us eight different designs that can be put on T-shirts and included in our t-shirt design pack. So you're just going to go through and download each one of those by clicking on this little arrow download image, and then you're going to click generate again. Now, Leonardo only lets you do eight at a time, so what I recommend is that you have at least a th000 different images, whether it's psychedelic images or classic cars or vacation scenes or whatever it is. So as you can probably see, if you're using this tool with Leonardo, it's going to take quite a long time to generate a th images. Now you can do it this way where

you just keep clicking generate, generate, generate, and making enough images to create a design pack. And remember, ChatGPT gave us a whole bunch of different ideas that we could copy and paste to create a big variety of different t-shirt designs. But what I actually recommend that you do, that's going to be a lot quicker, is actually sign up for an account on this site called RunwayML. Because this service actually allows you to create up to 1,000 images all at once. So you don't have to keep keep clicking the button over and over and over to reach a really large number of designs. Leonardo only lets you do eight at a time, but RunwayML lets you do hundreds at a time. Now, the disadvantage of RunwayML is that it's a paid tool. It's going to be a little more expensive to use, but I think it's going to be worth it to save you the time. Let me show you right here. Now, when you're in RunwayML, see, I've pasted in there the exact same prompt. And in this case

you just click this batch button, and that's going to let you generate hundreds of designs instead of just a few. Now you see this shows you how much it costs. It's going to be $10 per 100 images that it generates. So, if you wanted to create 1,000 of these, it would only cost you 100 bucks. Or you could just pay 10 bucks and have it generate 100 at a time. Now, a couple tips about this. First, first of all, you don't want to use words in your images. So, try to give it instructions that don't include any words. Runway ML and Leonardo AI both don't do well generating any kind of text. But you can see these images are pretty cool, and it's going to generate you hundreds of them just like that for t-shirt designs. Now you just click download right there, and you can download the designs into a folder on your hard drive. And I'll show you what to do with them next. Now probably what you're going to need to do is spend a

few days creating these images cuz like I said before you want to have a thousand or more images all together in one folder to make these packs really valuable and the people that I showed you earlier that are making tens of thousands of dollars with this all have thousands of images in their downloadable files that they are selling and that's what makes it really valuable now some of the main people that are buying this are people that actually sell t-shirts so they don't have time to create all the designs they're just looking for a quick way to get a large number of designs so they can have as many different types of t-shirts as possible so you're actually selling them the designs to save them time and they might not even know this trick about chat GPT and all that now if all this seems like something you don't really want to do it maybe it's kind of boring to you to create images over and over and over I really encourage you to check out my free class in the link in the

description of this video. Now, my free class is going to show you how to set up an auto-pilot online business that generates money for you day in and day out. Residual income, whether you are working or not. So, for those of you that are looking for a truly residual income model that generates auto-pilot money, there's a free class in the link in the description. Once you have created all of your images, now it's time to upload them to Google Drive. And the reason why Google Drive is so important is it can store all these images for you online, and it'll make it really easy for you to deliver these images to your customers without you having to email each one of them individually or anything like that. It's all going to be done through Google Drive, and I'll show you how to do it. Now, I'm assuming you've spent the time to create over a thousand awesome t-shirt designs, and they're sitting on your computer. And then all you do is you click new right here, and you click on folder upload, and then you go to your

hard drive, and you can see right here, I've got all my designs in this folder called t-shirt designs. You can see, see right there, it's 2.5 gigs, so it's a very, very large file because there's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of images in that t-shirt designs folder. We're going to just click on that, and it's going to say upload, blah, blah, blah, th000 files to this site, and yes, and now you can see down there, it's uploading the entire folder to my Google Drive so that I can easily deliver this entire folder digitally to my customers, and I'll show you how to do that right here. The next thing you want to do is click on new, click on Google Docs, and we're going to create a brand new Google doc that looks something like what I'm showing you right here, and you can see here it says, Thank you for shopping with Design Elites. Remember, that was the name of the store that I created in the beginning of this video. Now, what this is, this is

actually going to be a document that we're going to send to all of our customers. And the reason why is Etsy won't allow us to upload an entire giant file to their site. We have to actually first create a small little file with our download link in it. It's all going to make sense in just a second. So you're going to create a Google doc just like I showed you that, and you can use this exact text: Thank you for shopping with [insert your store name]. You'll be directed to your files by clicking the link below: Files purchased. And then the words: Click here to access your file. And then we're going to go over to our Google Drive. Remember we uploaded all of those images into Google Drive. And so you just go in your Google Drive, you go directly to the folder that you uploaded, look like I'm showing right here, and you click Share. And then you click the word Share again. And then right here, you want to change it from restricted to Anyone with the link. So that way anyone who has this exact link

can download this file, and then we click copy link right there. And then we are done. And then we're going to right here. We're going to highlight this text, and we're going to actually paste then the link that we just made into this little box. Click apply. And now if anyone clicks on that, it's going to go directly to that giant folder on Google Drive that contains all the images that we created. Now we're going to click download, and we're going to click PDF. So we're going to export this as a PDF because that's kind of the easiest kind of a document that everyone can open. And you can see here's the PDF. And if you click on that link, it's going to go directly to our Google Drive folder with all of our designs in it. Now this final step is where we're going to put everything together. So what I want you to do is in your Etsy store, you're going to click into the product. Remember earlier in this video we created a product on our Etsy store. I want you to go click into

that product. And you're going to click edit, scroll down to where it says digital files, and I'm going to click on ADD file. And then we're going to click on the PDF that we created earlier. And now, now this PDF is going to be automatically delivered when anyone buys our digital product. Etsy is going to send them this PDF that we created and see that, that's what it's going to look like when they buy. It's going to get them directly to this PDF, which is going to allow them to access that huge folder with all the t-shirt designs in it. So we're just going to click save and continue. And our first listing is done. Now, if you want to expand to make even more money with this, you can actually take that exact same PDF that we just made and you can sell that same PDF on sites like Redbubble. There's another site called Zazzle, which is a similar idea. And if you really want to make big money, which is where you can really expand your business, is when you

have one of these t-shirt companies buy your design pack. You want to get their email address and add them to an email list. Every time you create a new design pack, then you can have a list of customers that you can email right away and say, Hey, we just released a new design pack. You can get it fully downloadable for only $5. And even more powerful, get them on auto bill. So let's say you sell 100 of these design packs. Imagine if each one of those 100 people, each one of them, have their own t-shirt business, so they're all constantly looking for new designs. Imagine if you told them, Hey, I'll release 1,000 new designs every month. You can sign up for a subscription, and I'll automatically send you a new Google Drive folder every month as long as you continue paying every month. It's so simple to do. You can even set up subscription payment plans on PayPal to enable them to pay you every single month on autopilot. All you do is click right here on business tools.

once you're logged into your PayPal account and right down here, you click on subscriptions, and that's going to let you set up subscription payments so someone can pay you every single month on autopilot. Now you can see how powerful this idea can be and how you can expand it into an autopilot monthly business. Before I leave you, I have my own autopilot training in the link in the description of this video. All you need to do is click on the link in the description. It'll take you to a page that looks something like this. Enter your name and email there, and I'll actually email you even more ways to make money online on autopilot. Make sure you put your best email in there so that we can send that free training class directly to your email address. And I'm also going to play a video for you right now. It's going to pop up on your screen right here of my daughter who set up her own autopilot business, and we go through exactly how she did it and how it's been paying her.

for years without her doing anything that video it's going to pop up right here and all you have to do is click on it to watch it talk to you soon

Unconventional Etsy Loophole for Big Earnings

Many individuals have made significant amounts of money using a unique Etsy loophole.

The process involves creating an Etsy account, setting up a shop, and using a specific business model, different from traditional selling.

The loophole has been successfully demonstrated by various shop owners, leading to substantial earnings through the platform.

Selling T-Shirt Design Bundles: A Lucrative Business Model

Entrepreneurs are making substantial profits by selling downloadable t-shirt design packs, with one seller making over $200,000.

Using AI to generate the designs allows for a seamless and efficient process without the need for creating the images manually.

ChatGPT is utilized to provide ideas for t-shirt designs, eliminating the need for entrepreneurs to come up with the concepts themselves.

Leonardo AI can generate eight t-shirt designs at a time, but it takes a long time to create a large number of images.

RunwayML, although a paid tool, allows the generation of up to 1,000 t-shirt designs at once, saving time and effort.

Both Leonardo AI and RunwayML don't work well with text, so it's best to provide instructions without words for the image generation process.

Selling T-Shirt Designs: A Lucrative Business Model

Creating a large collection of t-shirt designs and selling them as downloadable packs can be highly profitable, especially for those in the t-shirt selling business.

Uploading the designs to Google Drive allows for easy digital delivery to customers, eliminating the need to send individual emails.

Offering a free class on setting up an online business for residual income is also a part of the strategy to attract those uninterested in creating designs.

Creating a Download Link for Etsy Purchases Using Google Drive

Thank your customers for shopping, provide a link to their purchased files, and create a PDF for easy access.

Share the Google Drive folder with anyone who has the link to allow for file download.

Finally, add the PDF to the digital files section of the Etsy product for automatic delivery to buyers.

Building a T-Shirt Design Subscription Business

You can grow your t-shirt design business by building an email list and offering a new design pack for $5, with an option for customers to subscribe for a monthly fee.

Setting up subscription payment plans on PayPal can enable you to create a steady stream of income on autopilot.

You can also provide autopilot training and further money-making tips through email marketing.
