Product placement

Printify: an e-commerce platform that allows users to design and sell custom products. It ACTS as a print-on-demand service, printing and shipping products with user-created designs. Removing it would change the entire process described. Etsy: an online marketplace for handmade and vintage items. It ACTS as a sales channel, where users list and sell their products. Removing it would mean the products have nowhere to be sold. Canva: a graphic design platform. It ACTS as a tool for creating designs. Removing it would mean the user has to find another tool to create designs. Photoshop: a raster graphics editor. It ACTS as a tool for creating designs. Removing it would mean the user has to find another tool to create designs. Taco Bell: a fast-food chain. It APPEARS as an example of a place where money is spent. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. Urban Outfitters: a retail chain. It APPEARS as an example of a place where money is spent. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

the college sidehustle you NEED

Transcript

To all my divas starting college in the next few weeks. Listen to me. That cute little summer job you had to save up money? Yeah, that's all gonna be gone in two months. Cause I did that and I've tried damn near every side hustle in college. And I'm gonna tell you all which one was my favorite. Because you gotta make up for that 2:00 AM Taco Bell and Urban Outfitters and edikted sales somehow. What you're gonna do is you're gonna go to Canva, Photoshop, I don't care. And you're gonna make a design, think about like whatever patterns are trending, huge events coming up, tailgate season, I don't know, come up with something. I trust in you. You're gonna save that and then you're gonna go to printify.com and you're gonna pick a product from their catalogue. When I tell you there is so much freaking stuff on there, I mean it. Like if you think of something, it's probably on there. Like I would spam can coolers during tailgate season. Alright, whatever. Upload your design onto that product, then you're gonna connect it to Etsy and boom, that's it. When someone buys it, it's printed and shipped for you. I remember like between classes and sometimes in the middle of class, I would just be designing random stuff and just uploading it and calling it a day.
