31/07/2026 | 26 mins.#1016 What if the secret to spotting the next big Etsy trend — before your competitors even notice it — was sitting inside a chat window the whole time? In part 2 of this two-part episode, Christina Umerez returns to go even deeper into her AI-powered print-on-demand playbook, revealing how she uses Claude to spot rising trends (yes, the "goose" and "raccoon" crazes are real), generate dozens of fresh design prompts from Etsy bestseller research, and turn those into finished designs through Kittl's AI image tools. She also breaks down how she uses Claude as a strategist and coach — auditing her Facebook ad campaigns, building out email marketing calendars in her own brand voice, and even helping her figure out what to delegate to her VA next. Christina gets candid about the reality of copycats in the print-on-demand space, shares how AI has roughly doubled her output while cutting her workday down to just two to three hours, and explains why she's using her newfound time freedom to launch a second Shopify store this year!
What we discuss with Christina:
+ Using Etsy bestseller research to spot trends
+ Generating AI image prompts with Claude
+ Turning prompts into designs via Kittl
+ Trend example: geese and raccoons
+ Weekly AI-generated trend reports
+ Applying broad trends to niche products
+ Dealing with copycats on Etsy/Shopify
+ Using Claude to write email campaigns
+ Auditing Facebook ads with Claude
+ Doubling output, cutting workday to 2-3 hours
Thank you, Christina!

In part 1 of this two-part episode, Christina Umerez of CUOnline joins us to break down how she built a location-independent print-on-demand business — and how she's using Claude AI to automate the tedious parts that used to eat up her entire day. Christina walks through her journey from hand-drawn pet portraits on Etsy back in 2020 to scaling two separate seven-figure storefronts, and dives deep into how she's using Claude's MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations to handle customer service drafts straight from her Gmail and auto-generate SEO — titles, descriptions, tags, and more — for every new product she lists. She shares real numbers on the time she's saved (cutting her VA's customer service hours nearly in half), what it costs to get started, and practical tips for anyone looking to buy back their time with AI!
