Case Overview & Background

The author of the Love Eat Travel Repeat blog runs an Etsy print on demand shop and posts monthly income reports. For March 2025 she reported $8,081.93 in revenue, below her five-figure months, because she was focused on a standalone Shopify store and Facebook ads.

How AI Is Used

She uses Midjourney for initial design concepts and then edits them heavily in Canva to make unique products. She says AI tools should enhance creativity rather than replace it.

Step-by-Step Process

Step 01Research

Keyword lists in eRank to find low-competition niches.

Step 02Design

Midjourney for concepts, Canva for heavy editing.

Step 03Scale winners

Make more of what already sells, combined with fresh research.

Step 04Look after customers

She reports almost 1,000 five-star reviews.

Customer Acquisition & Distribution

Etsy search, using keyword research to find low-competition terms.

Limitations, Risks & Failure Modes

What may not apply to you, and what could go wrong:

  • Self-reported by a blogger who also sells training
  • Revenue drops when she stops adding listings
  • Etsy fees and print costs take a large share
  • AI-generated designs face copyright and platform policy questions

Key Takeaways

  • Regular new listings mattered more than any single design
  • AI was used for concepts, not finished products
  • Diversifying to Shopify pulled time away from the shop that earned
