> The path — step by step
Pick products that photograph badly
Furniture, jewelry, gadgets sold online — anything where good photos decide the sale but a shoot costs real money. Pick one product category.
Set up Meshy
Create a Meshy account and learn image-to-3D: upload a product photo, get a 3D model. The free tier is enough for samples; upgrade when a client pays.
TOOL: Meshy
Make your first render
Take one product photo from any online shop, convert it in Meshy, and render it in a clean studio scene with soft shadows. This before/after pair is your entire pitch.
TOOL: Meshy
Add lifestyle scenes
Place the product into lifestyle backgrounds with GPT Image 2 — on a beach, in a kitchen, on a desk. Shops pay for variety they can never afford to shoot.
TOOL: GPT Image 2
Get paid
Create a Stripe payment link: €X per render, or €Y for a pack of 5 renders of the same product. Packs are easier to sell.
Find shops with dull photos
Browse Etsy, Amazon and independent shops in your chosen category. Save 10 shops whose product photos are flat, dark or obviously shot on a phone.
Pitch one free before/after
Email the shop: "I turned your [product] into these 3 studio renders — free to use. If you want more, €X per pack." One free render of their actual product converts far better than any portfolio.
Upsell: whole catalog packs
After the first pack, offer to render their full product line. One client ordering 30 renders is a week of work and a real invoice.
