How to save money on design mockups

This is a paid collaboration.

Selling your own prints, t-shirts, posters and more is becoming an extremely popular side hustle, 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? I have teamed up with Design Bundles to help you to save money with this side hustle.

Who are Design Bundles?

Design Bundles was started in July 2016 to provide customers like you and I with affordable digital products. That includes things like:

• Graphics
• Templates
• Mock Ups
• Patterns
• Illustrations

And many more.

Since their start, Design Bundles have a customer base of over 1 million users, and over 150,000 marketplace products. These bundles offer up to 96% off the regular price, meaning you can save a lot of money.

Whilst Design Bundles won’t do all of the work for you, you can find the perfect mockup or design that you are looking for. Using this you can simply tweak and personalise the bundle, creating the perfect look that you want to achieve. You can then use these designs however you want – from a blog logo to creating products to sell online, through eBay, Etsy or your own shop on your blog.

Why do I need a mockup?

If you have designed a selection of prints, posters or t-shirts then it takes time and money to print them, photograph them and edit the photos before displaying them on your online shop. You will also need to create different pictures for variations such as colours or fit of the t-shirt.

A mockup is almost like a template you can use, where you simply put your design into the mockup that is already beautifully photographed, and you are good to go.

Here is an example of a mockup you can find on Design Bundles:

If you are thinking of starting a side hustle with your own designs then using a mock up will really help you to look professional and entice new customers into making a purchase.

How much do mockups cost?

Depending on the product or products you are selling and the type of mockup you are looking for, you can get a mockup bundle from Design Bundles for as little as £1.22.

There are plenty of mockups to choose from, and you can use the search bar to find exactly what you are looking for.

design consistency

The great thing about mockups is that you can use them for a variety of things. For example you might use them digitally on your blog as a Pinterest template, your blog logo or your blog header. This helps your readers to see consistency and become familiar with it because they know what to expect and know your brand. Alternatively you can use them for products you are selling – where your customers get to know your brand from the consistency and the high quality mockups that you use to showcase your designs.

If you are looking to start a side hustle that showcases products you have designed then using the mockups from Design Bundles is a great way to save money.
