Canva Add an image has since changed I made this video, here are the updated instructions
Let's see if it working! I couldn't upload your Mockups, I hope the picture is ok because I already posted on Etsy, I am a new Etsy seller and I don't want to buy more Mockups, so I just saw this message.
Thanks for the update! I was wondering what the dimensions were for mock ups in Etsy❤
Does using the set image to background do something to the photo?
Thanks for this! I am in Canva now and did not see the edit photo option.
I can't seem to get anything to work for me on Canva. Your instructions do not seem to lead me to design a basic t-shirt. Canva keeps sending me other t-shirts when I say I want to design a t. I don't get it.
One thing you can do in canva also is when adjusting the size, grab an edge and move slowly... It will show you the height and width, you can write it down and boom no more guessing. GREAT video.
True, this is definitely something I need to do and that's worth doing in general
Hi Cassiy! I have been a huge fan of your channel for quite a while now, you've given me such great tips for my POD shop! So when I heard you talk about my shop (Moonlit Mockups) it was kind of a surreal moment!! I almost fell off my treadmill from the excitement lol. I just want to say thank you so much for all of the support!! You're the best!!
OMG that's your shop??! You are like the best of the best mockup store and so successful! Can't believe you watch my channel, you are like a celebrity in my mentorship group lol we constantly talk about how you have all of our money!!
Email me at Shirtifiedhustler@gmail.com if you'd be interested in being a guest star on my mentorship group sometime
Oh my gosh, thank you!! You are toooooo kind! I'll send you an email here when things slow down a little bit! I'd definitely be interested! :) Hope you're having a great week!
Amazing.
Your videos are amazing. I love how you talk slow and allow the viewer to actually follow along with you. So many people on youtube talk so fast I can't follow what they are even doing. You do an amazing job at teaching the information. Thank you so much.
YAY I’m so glad you’re able to follow along with my videos!! Thanks so much for watching! ❤️
You can slow down the speed of the video by going up to the upper right corner to the icon that looks like a flower…sometimes I slow it down so much that it sounds like the presenter is drunk lol😅
I have been binge watching your videos all morning! Incredibly informative and useful information . I'm excited to get started later today. 500 designs by October 31st means I have to create roughly 11 designs a day to meet that quota! I'm so going for it!!!!
Yay I'm so excited for you!! Wishing you all the best!
Me too😂
"Shameless Plug" lol girl you deserve it! Do you know how much trial and error you have saved me in starting my shop?! You help me get fired up about it and not discouraged. I purchased from you and one of the other shops. And now want to sell them someday myself. My husband laughs every time I come to him with another thing I want to branch off of my store. He calls them my "Side Quests" lol. Thanks for keeping us inspired.
YAY I am so happy to have a positive impact on your life and your business!!! I am cheering you on!! ❤️
@@CassiyJohnsondo you use the lowered opacity of the design for the final print as well; what you put into Printify?? Or is the lowered opacity ONLY for the mockups?
Thank you so much!❤️ I have a question for you. What do you choose for variant visibility? When posting a new listing from printify to Etsy. I noticed that if you choose to display out of stock items as “out of stock” or to completely hide them if they’re out of stock, you’ll have to go back in manually whenever they become available back in stock. Or at least, I’ve had to do that so I started choosing all items available and if they are out of stock I’ll use an replacement store or I’ll message the customer and offer other color options or a refund. Could you possibly make a video on how to handle out of stock situations!😁❤️ it would help a lot of us out. Especially with the holidays coming up. I want to be prepared since Im still a newish Etsy seller and wasn’t there last year to learn from it. You’re also the only Etsy you tuber I’ll ever listen to because you’re honest and describe things with such detail. I appreciate you! 💛 thank you for taking your time to teach us.
I choose to have Printify show all variants as in stock so I can just have a different print provider fulfill it if my preferred one does not have that variant in stock right now. I'll see about making a video on it, maybe I'll make one about how to prepare for the holidays in general and include some tips of out of stock items too. Really appreciate your kind words in the comment as well, I am so glad you are liking my videos!!
The fact that you are giving us all the free and valuable information is amazing!! I love it here 💕 thanks 😊
I’m so glad you’re enjoying my channel!! Wishing you all the best! ❤️
Cassidy, mugs are a big thing and I have lots of ideas.I hope you will do a video showing how to apply a design to a mug mockup. It's far trickier than on a t shirt because of the curb on the mug. I would love to know how to do it.
Hey Cassiy,
I'm struggling about mockups. How do you manage that matter? I mean, selling shirts for Halloween for example would ask a kind of mockups, different than Christmas.
So, do you have a bunch of mockups and use them accordingly to the theme season, or it would be more efficient just using neutral themed mockups?
And what about the shirts colors? We know that providers such as Monster Digital have a tone of shirts colors. Do you list all of them or do you select only the best sellers?
Thank you.
To anyone wondering, this video is worth the watch! I just started building an Etsy, and after watching this, I know I just saved hours and hours of me trying to figure this out on my own! It answered questions I had, and questions I should’ve had! Fabulous video
Cassiy this video is invaluable! It’s going to save so much time. For some reason I never thought about working on several mock-ups in Canva at once. Thanks so much as usual for sharing your knowledge with us! Congrats on 10,000!!! That’s amazing and you rock!!❤️
So glad I could save you some time Lisa
@CassiyJohnson Ms.Johnson I need your help.i am new to this trying to help my son start a tee shirts company. We purchased mock ups. How do I used the mockups we brought esty and download it to his esty store. I am confused. I purchased some great mockups Esty but do not know how to transfer it to the store please help
Thank you for your informative video. I am an artist and designer just getting started with POD. I looking to hire some help. The technical aspects of this venture is overwhelming. How can I get support with this by phone or on line? What do ou offer for support besides videos?

좋은 영상 너무 잘 보고 갑니다.
I don't find the Edit Photo. It change to Custom Size? can anybody help? first time working on mockups for my Etsy store. Thanks.
I've tried to find back t-shirt mockups for men and there very limited and awful. Gilidan 5000 has terrible ones. I think ill have to take my own
Can someone please help. I bought a couple of mockups from Etsy. I'm trying to access the mockups everywhere but it just says "this file format is not supported" even on Canva. Can someone help me
This video was gold! I dont think you realized how much time you've saved me. The best part of the videos I'd that you always answer our questions and I learn even more just by reading the comments. Thanks for all you do!
Yess So glad I can save you time!! All of these things took me so long to learn lol so glad to save you the trouble!! Thanks for commenting
Okay I’m stuck trying to figure out how to get canva to put the image behind the models hair. Some of the mock-ups I have the models hair is in the way and so I have to shrink the look of the design. There have been some gorgeous mock-ups I’ve seen from a successful shop where the design was behind the models hair. How do you deal with this?
So I should have made this part of the video today, in Canva there is only one way to do it and it's not ideal. You add the png onto of your mockup, then you click "edit" on the png. Then you want to select "remove background", this will then give you the option to erase part of the png. Unfortunantley though, this does not let you see the mockup underneath at the same time so it's a trial and error going back and forth until you can get it right.
I still use the Godaddystudio app sometimes for this as well, it should be free to use if you are not wanting to use any of their graphics, they have a website as well and they have a "mask" feature that makes this quick and easy!
@@CassiyJohnson you are amazing! Thank you!
Great content once again 🙂I jumped over to Etsy to start shopping for ready-made mockups and noticed seasonal-themed mockups for Fall or Halloween and started adding to cart but wondered if I should just get generic mockups instead to avoid paying for more generic versions later? In your experience, do these themed mockups attract more customers to your listings? Additionally, I noticed that Sizing mockups show all sizes on them and I won't offer all sizes. Does this create more customer inquiries when using these?
I'd recommend offering all of the sizes that your print provider has and if you can, find a size chart that match just to avoid confusion.
As for the mockups, I think one or two seasonal ones are nice! I don't have any proof that these help with conversions but the main thing to focus on is just having great mocks in general. So whichever works best for you! You are fine buying just generic ones.
Great Video! One of the things that I noticed when searching for mockups is that there is not a lot of POC mockup stores. I see a lot of cute shirt mockups that I would love to use but can’t because my store is catered to black women/girls that it would not make sense to use them. But I am keeping an eye out just in case I decide to add more generalized t-shirts to my other POD Etsy shop.
I have seen some nice ones with POC for sure! Hopefully you can find some great ones
Hi Cassiy! Thank you so much for your videos, I love them! Thanks to you, I had the courage (and knowledge) to open my shop 2 months ago and now I have 7 sales, and 2 five star reviews☺️
I have a question: do you ever upload listing videos? Or are they not worth the time in your opinion?
Congrats on getting started Julie, great job taking action!! As for videos, I don't think these really add to your success much unless they are actually bringing the customer value in some way. I have never done them but you are welcome to try them if you see a good way to do it that your customers will enjoy!
Hi Cassiy, would I need to purchase a mockup for each color? Also, how can I make sure it's the same color as the one on printify?
PLEASE HELP. When I create my mock up, I add my design to the T-shirt mock up photo just how you taught us to do and then I listed on Etsy the design is blurry or pixelated. What am I doing wrong please please please help. Thank you.
Hi Joanie! Is the size of your design larger than 2500 by 2500 pixels? You could even do as large as 5000 pixels. That's my best guess as to why it would be blurry! I hope that solves your problem!
HI Cassiy, thanks for your guidance but please can you let me know why the 'EDIT PHOTS' tab doesn't show when I click Create Design button on the Canva Home page.? thanks
This is a new change in the last week, sorry! You can try making a custom size of 4167x3333 for now if that makes it easier for you. That the size of quite a few of my mock-ups
Do you think Placeit is worth it for mockups?
And why are you saving them as a JPEG instead of PNG? Is that a requirement by the Print on Demand company?
You want to save the mockups as a JPEG file so it is more compressed. We don't need the mockups to be PNG's since we don't need the transparent aspect of it. You will be uploading these directly to Etsy, not onto the Print on demand partners website. Sometimes if you save a mockup as a PNG, then it will be too large to upload onto Etsy. Hope that helps!
But I don't understand how can you just take random mock up pictures because they are different tshirts then the once I'm using so they will have a different fit on the person in the picture so doesn't give a good image of how the shirt will actually fit on somebody.
You only want to buy mock-ups of the exact shirt you are selling. Sure it’ll fit everyone a little different but it’s a normal unisex shirt so most people will get a good idea of the sleeve length etc
If you don't take returns or exchanges, how do you "make it right"? Give them a refund?
Yes you can give them a refund or let them buy a new one at a discounted price if they just wanted a different size
This stinks. There is no Photo Editor like you show on Canva. So difficult to follow along when the website has changed now.
Sorry Canva Add an image has since changed, here are the new instructions!
1. Create a Design
2. Import File
3. Use in a new design
4. Choose “Custom Size” at the top
5. Create new design
OR
You can just go to a custom size canvas of 2700 x 2700 and add your image just by uploading it. This will be the exact size of the thumbnail on Etsy so you can see exactly what it will be like before posting it and zoom in if needed
Honestly I have the same beef with every mockup I've seen sold, and that is that the design just lays flat on the shirt which looks so fake. It needs to distort and displace to match the surface of the shirt and the model wearing it. I won't say this is easy to do because it isn't, but it could be setup as a template in Photoshop that would allow you to simply drop in your design. Does anyone sell these?
Someone out there probably does sell that kind but honestly if you look at what’s selling on Etsy, 99% of them are these types of mock-ups. So just lower the opacity and try to make it semi real looking and people really don’t care! Don’t let that hold you back or distract you from the stuff that will make you money. You’ve got this, don’t overthink it!
Thank you Cassidy!
I am only 4 days in to opening my store and I have been having a super tough time understanding al lot of the tutorials. I had no trouble understanding everything you explained. This video was so easy to follow and it helped me so much. Thank you! You are always my go to adviser.
Hi I’m so glad my videos have been helpful for you!! Congrats on opening your store!!
I guess it was easy to follow along 4 months ago. Now the website is all diff.
HI! I am just starting out and there is no "edit photo" button on my Canva and I have tried looking for it all over and its just not there!!!! help lol
Sorry it has changed since this video! Here are the new instructions!
1. Create a design
2. Import a file (at the bottom where the add an image button used to be)
3. Click the image you want to add
4. Click "use in a new design"
5. Select "Custom size" at the top
6. It should auto populate the size and you just click "create new design"
Or since now thumbnails are squares on Etsy, you could just create a custom canvas In the size 2700 x 2700 and then add your design to it!
Do you think you need a custom model mock-up for every color or is it ok to have one main mock-up and then have the color variations be a flatlay?
I do think that would be fine! Variety can be good. Thanks for watching! ❤️
Do you do coaching for printify to EBay.I’m a total beginner?
No so sorry I don't do anything with Ebay but I think Ryan Hogue on his channel teaches some about Ebay so I'd check out his channel!
This might be a dumb question but is there a rule where we put the design like 3 inches below the collar or something? I am spending to much time wondering if it’s ok .
I just love how you explain so thoroughly, you answered so many questions for me. I hope some day soon to find your success, or at least come close. Thanks you so much please keep doing your thing it's much appreciated ❤️
That day is likely much closer than you think! I would never have thought that this is where I'd be just 2 years after starting. If you just keep your mind open to learning and trying new things until you find what works, then you will get there
@@CassiyJohnson Cassiy, thank you so much! Your words are so uplifting. I started just about 2 years ago. I understand a lot more now, and what I was doing wrong. Iam still a work in progress.... Consistency and perseverance will get me there, and Cassiy's informative tutorials. God Bless you for helping so many. 🙏 and thanks for the reply, you made my day!
Take care..
I'm designing multiple items in Printify for my Shopify/Etsy stores. I have a lot of product, but I haven't opened the stores because I don't like the look of them. Finding mockups for women's shirts and t-shirts is easy. Men's clothing, women's (besides tees and sweatshirts) clothing like skirts, home decor, etc are giving me a harder time. I can't find all the mockups I need for the various items. Any ideas? You're right, Printify's mockups are terrible, but it seems like that's what I'm stuck with for the most part.
I think you are trying to tackle too many things all at once. I’d recommend getting started with just shirts and learning how to effectively design for those before trying to sell other products instead. And you can just use unisex or flat lay shirt mocks for the guys. The most important thing is to just get started and start learning asap in my opinion! Then as you get successful with one product. Then you can look into adding another!
When I started an Etsy shop 8 yrs ago, it seemed like the thinking with thumbnails was having a cohesive look for all of them and no distracting backgrounds. (Until recently, all my items were made and shipped by me, so I took all the photos.) I love the pretty mock-ups as your thumbnails but wouldn’t a customer also want to see just a simple photo of the item, like the ones from printify? Would that really hurt a sale if you had one or two of those?
The mockup is a real photo of the shirt on a real person in real life. The printify ones is a computer generated random shirt laying completely flat and lifeless. I don't think they do the shirt any justice. I would get a flat lay mockup that you purchase if anything. It's not like those are real pictures of the design actually printed on them either.
There's something I don't get at all with the mockups. Let's say that we want to sell some shirt which is not the typical white/black t-shirt, but with shorter sleeves, or some random stuff that is away from a standard t-shirt.
What about the mockups then? I mean, you need to find an EXACT mockup (ofc, adding your design later on) of the shirt you want to sell from Printify or whatever other provider, otherwise customer will reject his order once received. What then?¿
Most popular items on printify have mocks available on Etsy, so I’d just search for that shirt + mock-up on Etsy and make sure to only use photos of the exact item. Then you shouldn’t ever have any issues!
@@CassiyJohnson how are you creating the designs (.png)? Right now I'm using Figma but once exporting it as .PNG and uploading it to printify it says "medium quality - 140dpi". So I'm not confident at all on sending it to production... not sure why the quality is Medium. Btw, you have +300 dpi using PNG. Any tip?¿
Hello I recently created a Canva
t-shirt, design for Printify. Unfortunately the design looks to small.Can you please tell me the correct design size, I need to be compatible, for Printify?
You can edit the design in printifys to drag it larger if you need too! I use a canvas size on canva of 4500x5400 for shirts!
@@CassiyJohnson
Thanks so much, for
your reply...
Cassie, I do have Canva pro but there is no option at the bottom of the next (next to custom) to "edit photo"....
Sorry it has been updated since this video, here are the instructions!
1. Create a design
2. Import a file (at the bottom where the add an image button used to be)
3. Click the image you want to add
4. Click "use in a new design"
5. Select "Custom size" at the top
6. It should auto populate the size and you just click "create new design"
I ordered one of your mock up packages, but I can’t find it when I try to bring it into Canva. When I download it where does it go.? What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
I would check your downloads folder! If you didn’t download it yet then you may still need to go into your purchases on Etsy on a computer and download it first!
U can drag it into uploads into canva
Love this video!!! Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers!!! 🤩💕🤩
So glad you liked in Tina, thank you so so much!!
How would you go about making mockups for shirts/sweaters that are All Over Print? This video is super helpful but mainly focuses on shirts that have a design that fits in the center of the shirt. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
This was great. I see how the opacity makes designs quite realistic. Placeit has advantage that they actually apply the design 3dimensionally to the mockup and I wish you could also make a video about that! ps. bought my first mockup today and it is gorgeus
What if you can’t find mock ups of the shirt you are selling? Do I change shirt/supplier? I’m in the UK & printify doesn’t have as high reviews as in the US so I’d be nervous using them.
Great video! Do you think it’s important to have consistency between mockups in a single listing? For example, if offering several colors for a shirt should the mockups of each color all be from the same mockup store? and all the same model in a similar pose, etc.
Thanks, girl!
No I don't think that's important at all! Just the cutest ones you can find
also, I cannot find the area on printify where you were choosing your orders to go through once a day.
I have a free launch guide down in the description I’d recommended signing up for! It’s 9 modules and goes through all of this stuff like setting up Printify all the way through setting up your first listing. Hope it helps!
Do I need a separate mock up for every color T-shirt that I offer?
You want to show what the color looks like for every color yes, that can either be a mockup or you could have a few mockups and then a color chart. You can purchase color charts on Etsy but please do not purchase a color chart with colors on it that you are not going to offer in your listing. They should be able to buy every color they see in your listings page!
If you use the photo card for care instructions, is there a need to put the same things in the listing typed out?
If you are talking about in the description, yes I think it's worth it to provide in multiple places in case your customer looks in one place instead of the other. But you can just come up with one description and use it over and over for every listing of the same product type.
Thank you so so much for your very clear tutorial! It takes me so long to figure these things out 😂. Thank you also for sharing information you learned so others can get right to it. I am Totally going to buy your mock ups! Your kind to share other shops but I want to give back. I’m new to print on demand but I’m so excited to try this! I’m so glad I came across your channel! We love creating handmade jewelry but we want to add this to our shop as another option.
Hi Jana! I am SO glad my channel has been valuable for you! Wishing you all the best as you expand your business!! ❤️
Do you have any tips for creating mock up photos? I was thinking of starting a mock up shop too, bought some blanks and nice lighting. I only have my phone camera and not sure if that would cut it in quality... thanks in advance!
I don't have a ton of tips, I am definitely not a pro! One option is you can pay to go to a studio and have someone else take the pictures for the first time, just to make sure they are good! Or just try with your phone, upload them and see if it is any good, just be honest with yourself, would you use them? You can even just order one shirt and use natural lighting so it's not a big commitment!
I am learning so much from you and it's just so incredible how easy you make it. Thank you sooooo much for all these great videos. I know where I'm purchasing my mock ups. 🙂 I love supporting people that help others.
So you can’t use any random mock up you always need to buy? Once purchased you can use it as many times as you want? Are there mock ups for mugs and other items as well? Sorry for the beginner questions I am just trying to understand fully.
Yes you need to have the rights to use the mockups, but yes once you purchase it you can use them unlimited times! And yes there are mockups for lots of types of items. But if the item you are selling doesn't have one available, then just use the mockups that come with the item on Printify if you have to.
I want to change the mockups with my own mockups for my Etsy listing. when I do that, it changes from "published" to "unpublished changes". if I get an order on my Etsy shop, will it still process my product that shows up as "unpublished changes"?
Hi Cassy! I have a question, after setting up my Etsy shop with your help obviously!... and the first person i bought mockups of, i started out with just black and white mockups, but I have recently been using Print Clever, because they offer more colour variety, bought a few bundle mock-ups off Etsy, but for instance, I got a nice baby blue mock-up, a tan mockup, colours, print clever don't do, I feel as if I wasted money, Any advise??, I am imagining you are going say check print provider does the colour of the mock-ups you are buying on Etsy LOL, only made 5 sales so far this year, not able to leave the job I loath just yet ;-) LOL
Hi again, I believe that I just located the area in which to load my new mockups. Etsy, correct?
Yes upload your mock-ups onto Etsy within the listings!
@@CassiyJohnson Thank You! hugs!
Hehehe, I guess I was one of the reasons for this review. 🤪. I was so happy with the review you did on my shop. Some really good advice. I learnt a lot. Thanks again. ❤
LOL hopefully no offense taken
Would you ever consider making a video on how to make and sell mockups as a digital product? I have been searching and have not found one that really explains how to do the dimensions and dpi and all of it correctly (found lots on selling digital products, but not actual tshirt mockups), but I'm curious (and it's fun making the mockups)! Or would this be something you'd do in your 1 on 1 coaching?
I probably won't ever make a video about how to start a mockup store but yes if you book a 1:1 call with me, I'd be happy to answer any of your questions!
I do not know much about photography though so I just take pictures with a nice camera and sell them. I couldn't even tell you what the DPI is or dimensions. I bet that changes literally every time!
@@CassiyJohnson Good to know! Thank you!
Great content, thank you so much. I had last week my first sale on Etsy. Your videos are clearly a part of that process! I saw in this video that you don't use all 10 images that Etsy offers?? Or did I misunderstand that...?? Has it to be always 10??
Hi Cassiy! I love your videos they are very helpful to a total noob like myself. I do have a question about this particular video though, I seen this is a year old now and I was wondering if you have an updated version? It appears that Canva has made some changes and the "Edit Photo" option no longer seems to be an option. I was trying follow along with you in the video but can't seem to save my mock ups as you did. Do you have any advice?
Canva has t-shirt mockups. Why not use them?
You just want to use the best ones that you can find. I have never used Canva's but I'd compare them to what all the best sellers on Etsy are using and really see if they compete. This is a super important part in getting people to imagine how cute they will look in your clothes!
Hello Cassie - I just watched your video and was wondering with the mockup that you buy from Moonlit, or your store, do you have to buy a mock-up for every color tshirt or can you change the color of the t-shirt like you can in Placeit? If you can't change the color of the shirt, do you just show a color chart of the other colors you offer?
I love your videos! They have been very helpful and informative. I have been working on my designs and mockups, but I am running into an issue with some designs. I have purchased high quality mockups, and all of my designs are sized correctly and saved as PNG files. When I open my designs in Printify they almost always say medium or low resolution, AND when I upload my mockup photos in etsy they are also saying low resolution. My mockups are being saved as jpegs, all of my sizing is correct, I cannot figure out what the problem is. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
Another awesome video. Without fail, every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new. I think you need to add efficiency to your list of superpowers😉
Aww you are so sweet, I am so glad I can help save you time and energy in learning this all for yourself
Before I buy...Does your Mock Up store have many Male mock ups ....I have lots of male t-shirt designs to start my store...Thanks for sharing all your great wisdom.
❣️ having issues with coffee mug mockups! If I have a 15oz black mug from the Printify catalog, how do I change the mugs around!? Help!
I bought mock up but have trouble linking it to printful
You upload the mock-up to Etsy after publishing from Printful!
wow how come i did not see this video before?!?! you are my go to Etsy teacher!
I hope this was super helpful for you!! Thanks for watching!! ❤️
Watching the Mock-Up part on Canva. It seems like we are putting a 2dim design on a 3 dim person. The wrinkles won't show up. (I realize they are both on a flat screen) Will this matter? Does Place-It look more 3dim? I have 1100 + items in my store. I have over 30 different Categories. What would be the best, &/or quickest method to do this to my store. I have used Printify for all of my items. Some Printful too. What would you suggest if you had that many to do?
Hello and thank you for your videos... I am a new subscriber and I started watching your free course training. I have a couple questions though. So in the Printify settings set up: In the order routing section on my screen under the "enable order routing" there is a section that you skipped over that's asking for "Max additional cost per item (incl shipping)*" And allow routing for either exact product matches only or similar product matches (if exact is unavailable)....can you tell me a little bit more about these and if they are NA or do they need to be messed with??
Also your screen shows "Order view Settings" you clicked on "Show all orders" but on my screen I don't even see "order view settings" under the "order approval" section...it just goes straight to the "Tracking Notifications" section. So that has me a little confused. But something I noticed on mine that's different from yours is right under the "Tracking Notifications" section there is a grey box that says within it "Settings only apply to Manual and Sample orders"
If you could help me with a little clarity on these two issues I would appreciate you so much...I need all this to work!!
😘😘😽
Hi Cassiy; Congratulations on your 10,000 milestone. I just started using Canva to design my shirts. I downloaded mock ups to Canva, but I use the "Custom Size"not the Edit photo button. I then upload the mock p to my screen and design on it. Once Im finished designing, I use the transparency button but save it as 2000 x2000. I down load it to my computer. I then go directly to Etsy and upload all my designs. I have 75 of them this way and now Im watching this video. Am I doing it all wrong? I don't upload anything to Prinitfy as I have them linked in my Esty store as the print provider. My photos look great in my shop but nervous now after watching this video.
why do you do 4500x5400 and not each printing company's file requirements?
Thank you!
So When I'm picking out a shirt on Printify to do a design on, really, I should be picking it based on which high quality mockups I've purchased because the mockup tshirt has to match the tshirt i'm selling, right? Or can you buy a mockup that allows you to change the shirt somehow. sorry... I'm pretty inexperienced.
Hi there. So if not PlaceIt, I would need to buy every single mockup? 😢 I don’t have finances to pay for multiple and of course we need to fill up all the photos in each Etsy post. Great overall tips though.
You don't have to fill up every single slot in your listing. I usually just reuse the same 3-4 mockups over and over in every listing. You can get these for pretty inexpensive, I'd say 3-4 really nice ones for well under $20 and then you have them forever. Placeit you'd have to pay monthly so that would actually be more expensive in the long run.
@@CassiyJohnson wow ok. I always hear someone say use them all but that helps for you to tell me that. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas!
@@CassiyJohnson hi again. Sorry but I have another question. Should I buy holiday mockups too or it’s ok to just stick to regular ones and it will still bring success without them? I am doing more than shirts and hoodies so it’s definitely adding up.
Hi! Great video! I am using your mockups for ornaments - when I see the ornament on the mockup in Canva it looks beautiful, but when I add it to Etsy, my designed ornament looks blurry. Is it because my ornament picture is a png and when saving as jpg it blurs? Just my ornament is blurry - background mockup stays the same. Please help :)
Thanks for your videos, they are fantastic and really insightful. Do you have any information on how to setup purchases to go to diffetent supplies dependent on location? E.g. if somoene from US orders, it goes to a US print supplier, if someone from UK orders, it goes to UK print supplier? P.S. i look forward to being featured in 12 months when my store is killing it 😆😆
I’m new Etsy seller. Trying to put black words design onto a sand color sweatshirt mock-up I purchased from stop mock roll.
No matter how I change opacity I cannot get the design to look real on the mock-up thumbnail. It looks computer generated which I’m not a fan of. Any suggestions?
How are you getting that canvas page? When I use the Create a Design, I don't see anything other than an "upload" option, then it's asking for a custom option, and nowhere in my design space is there a white box, just a grid. I must be doing something wrong. :(
I really appreciate your helpful videos, Cassiy. I have another question. When I see my design on printify mock ups, it shows the design almost fillilg a whole t shirt. Is it better to have a design spaced around he chest area and not too far down. Since watching this video, I have decided to re size all my designs so they are smaller and focused on the chest area. I have also purchased mock ups from moonlit mockups and lemonsmith. I need your expert advice, here, please. Most of the designs on Etsy mockups are smaller and focus on the chest area. Is this the right way to add a design, even for my Shopify store. I plan to open an Etsy shop sometime late this fall when my Shopify store has been opened a few months. I would really appreciate all the help you can give me. One last thing: do you still offer your course on setting up an Etsy store? Thanks
Hey! Cassiy, How are you over there? I hope you are doing great? I am planning on purchasing mockups fron Creative Fabrica Marketplace. Would it be a good idea?
Hello I just started with printify for my Etsy shop I add shirts .. how many colors do you recommend to add and do you need a mock up for each color? Thanks love the video.. I’m going through your videos.. so I can learn more ..
Thank for this video. I hope it helps me. I am new to using Canva. (I use PS now.) I was in tears yesterday trying to use Canva. Nothing would layer up right and things kept disappearing. I went back to PS but am going to give Canva a try again after watching this video. One question, when doing holiday designs, is it better to use mock ups with the holiday theme, or just stick to the plain ones like shown in this video? Thanks much.
I am so sorry that happened to you Julie!! There are some other great Canva specific tutorials out there on YT, maybe go watch a few so it won't be so overwhelming to learn! Using holiday mockups is a great idea, I'd say you don't have to make all of them themed but the thumbnail photo is a really nice touch!
@@CassiyJohnson Thanks, I am doing much better with Canva now. I still like all that PS can do for design, but Canva is easy, once you figure a few things out, to set up and do the mockups over and over again.
how to remove the black background on the final product ? after removing the background the image still black and show black background , how to remove that ?
What format do you save the graphics in, in Canva before adding them to the mockups?
Do you do this separately at all besides the ones saved as jpeg with the mockups in printify/etsy?
So you wouldn't change anything on Printify's mockups, just Etsy's?
Have you done a tutorial on how to make a size chart.
No these are very inexpensive to buy on Etsy so I typically just purchase them since they are only a few dollars.
Thank you so so much for all of your videos - they are some of the best I've ever seen! For when you sell multiple colors of a shirt, is it better for SEO to create 1 individual listing per shirt while showing showing multiple color mockups and saying something like "view my full store for more color options" so you can be in search results multiple times OR have 1 listing and then they can select multiple colors from the dropdown for the order? I'm leaning towards the first option to create more listings overall but I'm nervous that I could potentially confuse the buyer by showing multiple colors on 1 listing and them not realizing which one they're getting.
Hi Cassiy, I just cannot get my mock-up designs to stand out and look vibrant. Making letters bold to combat this, does not achieve the desired effect. Some designs even look as if there is a very subtle ghosting behind it on the mockups. I was wondering if it might be due to the quality of the mock-ups / pixels, etc. Could you maybe shed some light on this?
Hi! super POD newbie here. I created my first design and uploaded it into Printify, choosing 5 different color shirts. When I publish the listing to Etsy, only the pictures with the white color shirt pulls over. How do I get the photos with the other shirt colors with my design on to pull over to Etsy? Thanks so much!
Hi! I’m not sure if my Etsy shop and Printful account is set up correctly. How to make sure things are looking right? The person I followed to set up my accounts gave poor instructions which caused me to skip steps and now I don’t know if it’s set up right to where I will get paid for my orders. Help! 😢
Hi Cassiy, I have a store on Etsy for some of my resin, glass, and other designs. Should I start another store just for the Mockups? Thanks!!
I'm confused....why do you say "realistic" when you're just applying a 2D image onto the shirt? There is no warpage. distortion, or skew going on. I honestly thought you were going to show us how to "wrap" and/or "contort" the images to the shirts. Do you by chance have a video that shows how to do this?
Very helpful. But how do you get mockups in the exact colors you've chosen for your design? Even if its slightly off its misleading
Anyone from latín america (not México) selling printed t-shirts? I need some help! I am in costa rica and I want to desing anf sell tshirts in USA but I am not sure I can, can someone help me?
Hi Cassiy, is there a way I can fix blurry mockup photos once I upload them on etsy. I have the right pixels and they are perfectly fine and crisp when I make them on canva? I haven’t been able to list on etsy because of this and it’s so frustrating.
Hi found you a few days ago and your videos are so good and helpful. But I need help!! I downloaded my design as transparent background but when I go to put on the Mockup it's not transparent!?!? It just fills the whole design area over the photo.
HI Cassiy, thank you so much for all your videos they are extremely helpful. I have a question about saving the design (not on a mockup) what size or PX is best to save at so the quality in printify will be the best? I feel like I seen you explain it in another video but can not seem to find it now.
Exactly what I was hoping for!!! Thank you SO MUCH! Super helpful!
Thanks for your comment Jamie, so glad you got the value you needed from my video!!
