Who doesn’t like customized clothes, mugs, stickers and so on? Everyone loves feeling special and unique this is why people love buying customized items that are not in every house. And this is why this business goes so well, this is the exact aim of customized items businesses. And the secret is: you can do this for free in less than 10 minutes. That’s right you can create your own brand without having a company, without creating the design yourself and without creating the items yourself. And no, you don’t need to be a genius to do this, anyone can do it without being a tech pro and I’m going to show you how you can have your own customized items with your own designs without making the designs yourself completly free without breaking any copyright law.
Step nr 1: Getting the image
First step it’s getting the image for our design, we’ll have to make sure it has no copyright so we won’t get in any trouble for doing this. For this we are gonna go on Pexels.com where we can find lots and lots of copyright free images. I’m gonna search for let’s say “cats” and choose a simple design like this one. After you choose your image just click on it and downlad it, the higher resolution the better, make sure to be at least a full HD one so your design won’t look low quality.
Step nr. 2 Getting the image ready
Now that we have our image downloaded in high resolution, all we need to do it’s removing unnecesary background. Depending on your preferences you may keep your picture background or not, I say it’s best to remove it so your design won’t be just a copy-paste one and it will have a little bit of originality so the more editing you do to it, the better.
The best part is that you don’t need any software to remove the background of your images and no editing skills. Just go on remove.bg they will do all the work for you. Upload your image, let the website process it then download the no background picture they made for you and in just a few seconds you have your image ready to go.
Step nr. 3 Creating your own webstore
Now that we have the design image ready, all we need is making it available for the people to buy it, this is absolutely free, a website will take care of everything for you, you won’t have to do the shipping or anything, they will go thru all the production and shipping trouble and you’ll get a cut from it everytime someone buys your design.
Alright so let’s go on Redbubble.com and register an account then go to your dashboard and click on add new work then upload new work then select your image.
Then give it a title, some tags like cats, cat, cat images or whatever your image is about and a description of it.
Then scroll down and choose where your design will be available, you can put it on hats, clothes, pillows, stickers, mugs and many others, edit it to make sure it looks good on the items you choose and enable them.
After you made your design available on all the items you want, you can increase your chances to make your items seen by more potential buyers by sharing them with your friends, family and social media.
