What people who have made LINE stickers but aren't selling should review first
Hello, this is Shigi.
When I tried making LINE stickers, the first thing I thought was,
"Getting to the point of making them is surprisingly doable."
That was it.
Generate illustrations with AI.
Think of phrases.
Prepare the images.
Register with the LINE Creators Market.
Each step is not that difficult.
However, the problem is what comes after.
You made them, but they aren't being seen.
You started selling them, but they aren't selling.
You don't think they're bad, but there's no reaction.
I think many people stop here.
I actually made some myself, and I felt this quite strongly.
LINE stickers don't just sell naturally once you make them.
Rather than thinking someone will find them when they appear in the new arrivals, there are just too many now.
So, if you just release them, they are easily buried.
What you want to review first here is the title and description.
To be a bit blunt, just making cute stickers is only half the battle.
Who do you want to use them?
In what situations will they be used?
What kind of words are likely to be searched?
Once you decide these things, you are finally ready to be found.
For example, rather than just thinking of "cute polite stickers",
Showa retro polite stickers for women in their 50s to send to family, friends, and hobby group members
It is easier to create a title and description if you narrow it down this much.
"Polite language," "Adult," "Showa retro," "Family," "Friends," "Thank you," "Understood," "Good work"
It becomes easier to include these kinds of words as well.
Conversely, if this part is vague, your description will also be vague.
"These are cute stickers you can use every day."
This isn't bad, either.
However, if there are few searchable words, there are fewer entry points for people to find you.
At first, I also thought of the description as just a regular introduction.
But halfway through, I changed my way of thinking a little.
The description isn't just for writing nicely; it's also a place to include searchable words.
Of course, that doesn't mean you should stuff it with too many.
However, I believe you should include as many words as possible that clarify who the stickers are for and what situations they are for.
When your LINE stickers aren't selling, you might not need to change all your illustrations right away.
First, start with:
Does the title include the user? Are there searchable words in the description? Is it clear who is sending the stickers to whom and when?
Just reviewing these points will significantly change the direction of the next stickers you create.
In my case, too, while making LINE stickers, I sometimes got stuck on the final settings rather than the images.
I couldn't decide on a title. The description didn't feel right. I couldn't think of search keywords.
If you spend too much time here, you won't be able to proceed to sales even after putting in the effort to create them.
That would be a waste.
So, I also created a GPTs to help think of LINE sticker titles and descriptions.
It allows you to generate ideas within 30 characters for the title and 80 characters for the description, while also incorporating potentially searchable words.
People who want to try making LINE stickers.
People who have made them but are stuck on the title or description.
People who want to create many in a series.
Please feel free to use it if you like.
LINE stickers are easy to start as an AI side hustle.
However, precisely because they are easy to start, many people make them.
That is why I think the first thing you should review is not just 'making better art,' but 'including words that will get you found.'
You won't know right away if they will sell.
But, release them, look at the numbers, fix the titles and descriptions, and make more.
I believe that for those who can cycle through these small improvements, LINE stickers are a quite interesting side hustle.
I have created a GPTs for people who want to make LINE stickers but are likely to get stuck on the title or description.
I have designed it so you can think of titles within 30 characters and descriptions within 160 characters, including words that are likely to be searched.
If you want to release your first one, please feel free to use it.
