It's the 11th most searched thing on Etsy right now. People are going crazy over stickers. It is a big trend and you want to be in on the big trends, right? And they're inexpensive to make and you can sell them for a really good profit margin. There's so many good reasons to do stickers. So let's jump into it. I want to walk you through all the steps of it so you know exactly how to do it. At the end of this video, you can start your own business. Now, if you want, you can make them yourself. If you want a third party to do it, you can do it for as little as a dollar depending on the volume that you're ordering. Now, where do you start? Well, you figure out your niche and it can be almost anything, guys. Let me show you an example up on the screen here. This particular one is inspired by her cat, Milky. And she created a cute cartoon version of him that she remixed into different designs. And you can see them on the screen right there. They're pretty cool. She's the owner of Created by Christine. And she chose to create stickers full of positive vibes and inspirational quotes. She also gets ideas from her day job as a first grade teacher and makes stickers for fellow educators. Okay, so let's brainstorm a little bit about some ideas. I'm going to put some ideas up on the screen here for you. It could be your hobbies and interests. It could be your favorite artistic styles. It could be communities that you belong to. What you find inspirational, maybe you have some motivational stuff. What messages or symbols represent your personality. If you want inspiration, you can just browse some of the stickers that are on Etsy or some of the other websites out there, Redbubble or something like that. There are programs that will help you design them. You can use a program called Procreate on your iPad where it actually integrates with one of the iPad pencils and you can do that. You could have a graphic artist come up with some ideas if you want. Fiverr is a great place for that. It cost you five bucks to have something done or $10 or $20. It's very inexpensive. And a lot of those people have programs and they can turn that stuff out so fast for you and you can have your products right away. These stickers can be created so many different ways and so many different forms. The first type of cut that you'll see is what's called a die cut where it's cut all the way through and the backing is the same size as the actual sticker. The other is called a kiss cut where the top layer is cut out but the backing is not. So when you peel it off, the backing goes away and you've got the sticker. Two main ways that you can create them. Now on the screen is an example of stickers that are kiss cut because you have one whole sheet there and you can peel off the individual stickers. So that's a good example of that. Now let's look at some of the types of finishes you can do. I'll put those up on the screen too. You can have gloss, paper, vinyl, you can have matte, you can have holographic, you can have mirrored, you can have holographic glitter, you can add prismatic, you can have clear. The choices are almost endless so just get started. I think sometimes we're faced with all these choices and it slows us down. Just pick something that you like and get started. Now to start with, you're going to need some type of paper, sticky back paper. And you can get that from onlinelabels.com. You can find it on amazon.com. There's a couple ways you can do this. You can print it out and you can put it in what's called a Cricut machine. I'll put one of those up on the screen there so you can see that. My wife actually has one of these Cricut machines. I don't know what she uses it for but she has it. And what you can do if you want, you can get the matte finish ones which are just flat. And then you can buy a sheet of gloss to put over top of it and by putting that sheet of gloss over the top of it, it provides some protection for it. A little bit of weather proofing, that type of thing. And it's cheaper to make it that way than if you buy the glossy stick paper. Now if you do decide to invest in one of these machines and print your own stickers, the good thing about it is you don't have to print a lot of inventory. You can print as you need. But the downside is you do have to invest in all the paper. You got to invest in the machine and all that stuff before you get started. And you're not going to know really what sells. And it's going to take a little bit of time to figure it out. But you can certainly do that and a lot of people are very successful at it. There's also companies that will do it for you. You can go to a company such as Sticker App. You can go to Sticker Mule and you can go to Sticker Giant. You can also look for local printers that may have a better deal and faster turnaround times. But any of those companies can do it for you. Now there's also print on demand companies. If you want to be totally hands off, print on demand companies going to actually print up the sticker for you. All you have to do is upload the image. They're going to print the sticker for you when you get a sale. So you don't have to buy any inventory. They're going to ship it out to the customer for you so you don't have to ship it out. All you really do is marketing and you collect the money. It's going to be more costly to print your stickers that way. So with dropshipping you're doing a whole lot less work. But you're going to make less money. OK, the stickers are going to actually cost you more money. The next thing you can do is actually sell on Etsy. Now Etsy already has a marketplace. They already have people that are selling stickers there. So there's already people coming to that site. They're used to it. They're going to provide you with traffic but at a price. For every product that you upload it's going to be 20 cents on a recurring basis depending on what that period of time is. They're also going to charge you at the time of this recording 5% of that sale in addition to that you're going to have to pay a transaction fee. So you're paying to have that traffic there and you don't have as much control. Now what a lot of people do is they will start on Etsy and then they'll start a Shopify store on the side. The cool thing about a Shopify store is that you have total control. You don't have any fees, right? You got the fee of the website but that's it. So you're not going to have transaction fees the way you would on Etsy. You don't have to pay a 5% commission. You don't have to pay money to upload your products. Now you may say, well, should I just do a Shopify store? The answer is no. Why not get the traffic off Etsy and make the money off Etsy and also make the money off the Shopify store? The next thing you can do is Redbubble or Society 6. Now what they do is they take over the entire process, okay? So if you're selling on Redbubble, what you're going to be doing is uploading your design to the products and then Redbubble is going to actually sell the product and they're going to collect the money and they're going to make the product and they're going to ship out the product and they're going to pay you a commission for doing that. So that's how Redbubble works. Now obviously you're going to have the lowest amount of profit on Redbubble or Society 6. However, you don't have to do any work. It can be actually passive income. Once you've uploaded some stickers that people like and they're buying on a regular basis, you don't really have to do anything at all because they just sell and then they ship them out for you, they make them for you, they do everything. So it makes it really simple for you. It's a good side hustle. I wouldn't say you're going to make millions of dollars doing it, but it is a good side hustle to have some extra income. The next question you may be asking is how much are you going to sell them for? Well, they normally sell from about $2 to $6. That's the sweet spot. That doesn't mean you can't charge a whole lot more for a much bigger, more intricate sticker, but that is the normal price they're going for in the market right now. So you're probably going to shoot for that. You can also look at your competitors and see what they're charging for their stickers and make a decision based on that. Now we're down to shipping, okay? We've come up with our ideas, we've made our stickers, we know where we're going to sell them and we've collected our money, now we got to ship them out. How are you going to ship out a sticker? I tell you, it's easy. Normally, mostly stickers can be put in an envelope with just a postage stamp and be shipped out. You may want to be a little extra secure, you may want to put it in a photo mail or you may want to put some cardboard in there. It's a lot of things you can do to protect it, but basically it's easy to ship it out. I own a survival food company and we have canned meats. In a case of the canned meats, it's 27 pounds. Well, that's a lot of weight, okay? And since it's so much weight, it costs us a lot in shipping, 30, 40, 50 bucks. Keep in mind, we're selling a product that sells for two, $300. So that's the difference there. I have a big investment in a warehouse. I have a big investment in inventory. I have to store all this stuff. You won't have to do all this if you're selling stickers. So it's much easier to ship it out. Now, the only thing is if you use first class postage when you ship it out, it doesn't provide a tracking number. So you may want to offer priority shipping with tracking information for an additional fee. Well, there you go. You know how to sell stickers. You, you could actually start a business right now. Today, yes, today, you could be selling from your couch. My couch is over there that way. This is my office, okay? You could actually be selling from your couch or your kitchen table or a coffee shop. I work a lot in coffee shops. I go to Starbucks and hang out, use their wifi, drink their free water and run my business. That's a pretty cool deal. You could do the same thing. Anybody can do this. Get it through your head that you could do this. Fire your boss. Go do it today. Thank you so much for listening to this video. I hope you got a lot out of it.
