How To Use Midjourney🎨 For Print On Demand 2023
About this video
RJ Martinez, who says he has done print on demand full-time for over six years, walks through using Midjourney for a print-on-demand business. He starts with research in Merch Informer’s Movers and Shakers category, jotting down selling t-shirt ideas such as a Fourth of July baby T-Rex and Day of the Dead skulls, then turns those keywords into Midjourney prompts (e.g. cute baby T-Rex holding a firework, t-shirt design, white background), noting AI struggles with some elements like fireworks. He shows upscaling and making variations of chosen images, saving them, then removing backgrounds two ways: Canva Pro’s one-click BG Remover (using a 4500 x 5400 Amazon Merch template size) and Photopea’s Magic Cut, adding text in either tool before exporting a PNG. He then lists where to sell AI art — Amazon Merch on Demand (he claims he has sold over 100,000 products and made over $300,000 there), TeePublic, Redbubble, Society6, Zazzle, Spreadshirt, Etsy, Teespring/Spring, CafePress and Fine Art America — plus print providers Printful, Printify and Gelato for Etsy, Amazon or your own site, stressing you must have the rights to the designs and not infringe on brands like Nike.
Key takeaways
- Research first: mine Merch Informer’s Movers and Shakers for selling design ideas and keywords before prompting Midjourney
- Prompt in plain language with use-case terms like ’t-shirt design,’ ‘sticker,’ and a chosen background color, then upscale and create variations of the best results
- Remove backgrounds with Canva Pro’s BG Remover or Photopea’s Magic Cut, add text, and export as PNG at the platform’s template size
- Marketplace platforms like Merch by Amazon, Redbubble and TeePublic print and ship for you; Etsy via Printful, Printify or Gelato is more hands-on
- Only sell AI art you have rights to — do not rip off existing designs or use brands like Nike
