  • The easiest way to do this is to create your own passion niche
  • Use Shutterstock to look exclusively for illustrations using related keyword
    • You can’t just use the standard image license when purchasing images on Shutterstock to resell by printing them on products. Purchase the ENHANCED image license.
  • you need to make sure the cross-niche is in demand. To do this, use Facebook’s ad targeting tool and see whether your cross niche falls within an audience of 100,000-500,000 people.  
  • uses Printful app on Shopify
  • she sets the profit at 50%
  • shirt artwork at 150- 300 dpi
  • for Printful, max image size is 12 x 16 inches
  • don't use image with background esp from Shuttershock
