Selling your own prints, t-shirts, posters and more is becoming an extremely popular side hustle, with many people setting up this new business venture to make more money. But how do you get great photos or mock ups or photos of your products to place in your eBay, Etsy and other online stores? Taking your own photos can take time and money, not to mention a lot of practice. That’s why I have teamed up with Design Bundles to help you to save money with this side hustle.

What is a Mockup & Why do I need one?

A mockup is essentially a template that you can use to input your design.

These items that can include prints, posters and T-shirts have already been photographed, so once your design has been placed then you are good to get started using them.

If you are wanting to create a business or are already in a business using your designs then you know that it can usually take a lot of time and money designing, printing, photographing and then editing the photos before you can use them online. Ether that be Etsy, eBay or your own blog.

Using a mockup can save you a lot of time and money and can help you look more professional, which in turn can entice new customers into making a purchase of your items.

How much do mockups cost?

The prices of a mockup depend on the product or products you are selling and which mockup you are looking for. There are mockup bundles from Design Bundles for as little as £1.46, you can also get mockups for 1 plus credit if you are a member of their Plus Membership.
