The online gurus claim that a product sells more if there is a video attached.
Here I used a POD camping cup I had ordered for myself to show how to pack granola in it for travel and loaded the video into YouTube.
Why granola instead of mug of tea? I am currently trying to sell on theme Survival September 2025, and product lines on travel and meals on-the-go aspect of it (mugs, bento boxes, luggage, mobile phone stands, anything else that could be added to the design lines…) Packing an enamel camping cup with food for travel fits the theme, I hope. Though presented as a travel tip, this would be useful for planning a short term bugout bag, or for (emergency) travel under conditions when restaurants might not be open.
I made a critical mistake by publishing it on YouTube immediately after upload – this will bury the video with few views. Or so I am told. I have not published enough in YouTube to discover if this is true or if I am organically uninteresting.
I also loaded a lower resolution version of it into Etsy with the mug in the video. Maybe it will attract a buyer.
In any case, I am learning video editing, maybe the skill will be useful in the future.
P.S. This design is for sale in Printify, Etsy and eBay.
