@The 9th Wall no, that's not MLM. What he's doing is called affiliate marketing and if you bothered to see his other videos he's pretty open about it, and even shows you how to do it, wiseguy.🙄
Hi Greg, how come you don't have a link to your full store "HUSTLE" when I display an item of yours on Teespring ? Just thinking like a potential buyer who wants to see the whole store before buying. I think its also better for like selling two items at once if they see they see they can buy a coffee mug that matches their T-shirt ?
Thanks for this super straight forward tutorial, you gave away so valuable information that others charge hundreds of dollars, wish you a good day! All the love all the power!
So great full for all the knowledge. Subscribed to merch informer with your code and I'm looking for niche. I found one with B and 662 item and 91 with BSR. Is it good or I still need to look. Once again thanks for your hard work. Regards. Norbert
@@papadel8442 Honestly I started my marketing to my friends and family. I had people tell me that they will support me no matter what and then I had some that liked my designs, and others I designed something custom for them (like my mother for example). I must have hit a threshold because now I am getting sales after I switched gears back to real estate,
@@GregGottfried I would love to pay for a basic course that walks you through step by step because it’s so much information in your getting started video it’s overwhelming for a beginner
@@deanakjefferson9278 I think he has a udemy course, he talks about 7 streams of passive income and mentions that he made udemy videos. You might be able to find bite-size info on there.
There were several times while watching this video that I was going to press the like button, but then realized I had already pressed it. Great video!!
I left the industry in the late 90's, when the T-shirt industry only made money for print shop owners and retailers. Designers and artists were paid something like not-much-over-minimum wage, despite cranking out art for three or more orders a day for years nearly 15 years. So I'm glad to see that creators now have options other than a screen print shop supplemented by the occasional freelance job.
Thanks for the comment! I agree, it seems like this industry is more enjoyable when you get to do it at your own pace, without pressure, and make designs for things you like.
Hi- yes, you definitely can! You got this- take it day by day & step by step :) Also, feel free to let me know if you have any questions along the way!
Amazing content expertly delivered. You can waste a fortune buying courses that promise so much but don’t deliver a fraction of what Greg provides. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful! I really appreciate hearing that because that is exactly what I wanted this video to be (no fluff, and straight to the point). Thank you Rishabh, and please let me know if you have any questions as you're going along!
Greg i got a question about instagram pages; Using your example with the Van Life niche I assume the next step would be creating the instagram page and start publishing, I was wondering two things: First: would you say its better to have an instagram page for every niche that you have or maybe have a couple ig t shirt stores that contain maybe related niches in between them ? My second question is: i've been uploading all of my teespring listings on the same teespring store, would you recommend it or create different stores to the different niches? The advantage i have on uploading all of them to the same store is that i only need one teespring link on my instagram page so the traffic coming through has a simpler way of checking the store out, but maybe the more designs I upload the harder is gonna get for them to find the design they want, so i've been debating on it for a bit and would like your insight on it before I continue doing this, hope you can answer this or maybe upload a yt vide on the subject would be also great for the people wondering similar things. Finally wanted to add to keep up the awesome content Greg and stay safe!
now i,m really feeling old watching you i am an old school artist still using paper pencils inks paints and drafting boards the old fashioned way yes i do have a 24 inch Wacom tablet to design on and A3 printer scanners to down load my artwork in the 21st century now its good to see how you dont need an artistic bone in your body to make artwork just cut copy past keep it up i tip my hat to you Greg you can do in hours what takes me weeks to do
Greg, I know not all colors are different when comparing RGB and CMYK. If I am not wrong, I think some colors that may print and look different are electrical blue, green, yellow etc. I have used green, yellow and other colors in my designs. So I am skeptical about it.

@@TheBunnyHeals I hear ya! Wish you the best. I’m still doing research into this myself before I get started as well. Haven’t seen many commenters talk about their own POD business so was curious.
I want to start my business and was looking for THE software to help me..thx to you i discovered placeit and now i created my first logo and tshirt with a breeze !! THIS IS THE all in one tool to pick !!
The first thing he says is so true. So many people are doing this that most print on demand sites no longer accept new artists. Do the research like he says.
I use Placeit for my designs but I am worried about how they would print. I am worried about the design colors specially. Would the design colors print the same as they appear on screen?
@@GregGottfried I know not all colors are different when comparing RGB and CMYK. If I am not wrong, I think some colors that may print and look different are electrical blue, green, yellow etc. I have used green, yellow and other colors in my designs. So I am skeptical about it.
I have made tee- shirts and ordered one the photo was way smaller than it seemed on the photo of my tee-shirt and moke-up. I later found out I should've used 5000 by 5000 but with using their moke-up it didn't say that so now I have to start all over with my store.
I actually used to show my accounts, sales, listings, and storefronts but it quickly lead to people trying to hack into my accounts and my designs being copied exactly.. Maybe it was naive of me to show all of my personal accounts, but that's why I no longer do it. I just share the information that will help, without the hype of the numbers. I hope that helps explain!
Do you think you would be able to recreate an account from scratch and still reach your level of success with POD? Others like you are teaching ways to be successful with POD and I’d imagine it’s getting extremely competitive and saturated. It’s so hard to commit heart and soul into something that sounds too good to be true. Do you think you could get up to 100K a year in a years time following all your instruction? Hoping you can give some kind of concrete numbers to go by. Thank you Greg...all the best 🤙🏻
@@GregGottfried I understand. However, I find hard to believe that you can make decent money from POD. You have stated to make 40k a month on passive income. If I recall with 4k followers from your Yoga Clothing store I find that very hard. Could you shows us in a way where your designs and personal information is not shown?
I dont usually comment on youtube videos but all viewers must be gratedul to the one and only Greg Gottfried thanks so much for this information for free!!!
Hey Blair, Great question! Yes you absolutely can. Look for the small button on the POD sites to switch the view to the back of the shirt, and then add the graphic there. You can also put a pocket area graphic on the front of the shirt if you'd like. I hope that helps!
Greg I just did my store and I think I got too excited lol because I didn’t order samples first lol I didn’t see that suggested in any of your videos so do I need to close my store and order samples first? Thanks in advance
Greg I have two questions 1. If I choose a saturated niche but theres a lot of people looking into that shouldn't I have more exposure and chance to get more sales ? 2. Can you provide a few more examples. I try to look for inspiration but most are design heavy. I just need one or two to know if I'm on the right track
Sir I live in India ..I want to open a store in redbubble and teespring.. Do I need to pay taxes for the payments I’ll receive , because of I don’t live in US and I don’t have a US bank account (even if I use Payoneer or PayPal) What type of taxes do I need to pay .and to who ( US or to INDIA ).? As I have gone through redbubble help centre it said ‘no need to pay sales tax, it is included in purchase rate ‘ but I’m still confused about any other taxes ...plz help me to get out of this.. I’ve been postponing days to start a store..
@@abhiramsainagireddy5839 brother I am an Indian too and I have already started POD since two months I wanted to contact via any means so that we can get more. information together on POD as an Indians is there any way I can contact you ?
Thankyou so much Greg. Very few people genuinely guide you with the right content. Keep growing and also help others with useful videos like this. God bless you:)
@@GregGottfried Hi Gregg, I have a question about the Advanced Competition Checker. Anything I type in gets me an F - not a good niche. If I get an A, which I have never got so far, wouldn’t that point to a topic that nobody is interested in anyway? How can I find out whether an A niche is good or one that nobody cares about?
Guys Keep working hard! I have made 52 sales in 3 months with $400+ profit. Greg has helped a lot and i encourage you to keep working on POD and eventually you will see sales.If you have any questions let me know!
How many designs do you have up for sale? And how long did it take to start getting sales. Also, do you create your designs yourself. Are you an artist or graphic designer?
10 years in POD business, lesson from my experience: its always, small fish who try to bite, small businesses try to trademark stuff they did not even create and take advantage of trends by elimination competition, second big money such as Disney, Warner Brothers, Nike, Adidas you never want to touch their turf, they compete in same segment, sell same stuff as you so just imitating them takes money from their pockets which they dont like. Some companies are most sensitive to trademark violations than others, take ETSY vs Amazon. In last years, USPTO became a little smarter, back than when I was starting, people started trademarking single words "programmer" "engineer" and so on, now if USPTO sees its widely available and spread in internet they will deny your application, which is good for everyone.
Hey Sofia, thanks for taking the time to write this. Glad this video helped you get past the hard part in the beginning. If you have any questions as you're going along just let me know!
Thank you for so much good information and not the same old lame stuff everyone else is spitting out to make them a few bucks! This is really going to help me since I will be first starting out.
You're welcome, glad to hear it's helpful! Thank you for taking the time to comment too. If you have any questions as you're going along just let me know!
I was wondering if we could use the temlplate as it is from Placeit if we think it's exactly what we need? Thanks for your videos Greg, very generous from you a true gentleman's gesture!!
Great question! Yes and No... Yes you technically can if you are the first person to upload it to the print on demand website. If someone has uploaded it exactly as is before you, then yours will be taken down as a duplicate. It's a risk to do (whether you are going to be the first one to upload it or if someone already has) so I definitely recommend editing it at least moderately to make it 'your own' before uploading. I hope that helps!
I have just started to build up the preparations for my own POD business. Pretty much based only on what you show me. I am still a bit uncertain if I can actually succeed but I will try my best
Right on! The methods are solid, it's just hard work and patience at this point. There are some comments throughout some of the videos on my channel of people who gave it a real shot and came back months later and shared how well I worked. If you ever need motivation, I think those will keep you going!
Decided to just build a huge list of niches then start a designing blitz. Since I like doing something over and over until I get it more or less perfected, I have already arrived at about 300 nice 2-4 word niches that rate A with more than 2 and less than 1000 items and many with at least a 2 or more BSR . Next plan on intensive designing, again plenty of opportunity to 'get it perfected'. Not so much the design but the most efficient ways of inventorying the designs and getting them uploaded to each platform. Then it's uploading to at least 5 different sites (I have had content on one site you never mentioned since probably 2008 or so). For me, I found that I can come up with tons of great niches if I just keep adding variations to each until I've exhausted my thoughts on one before moving onto another. I check each one on MI and record the # of products as well as BSR for each word group and add one through 5 exclamation marks to designate what chances I feel how a word group would compete. The actual time spent on that list was maybe 3 evenings. It's much easier to generate the niches when that is all your thinking about. Someone had posted that they went through tons of searches and was having a very hard time getting A graded results. The method I used resulted in maybe 90+% grade A and very few of less. Makes for a great way to train my brain to think niches and better words to use . Just a couple thought that may help someone find the "A" graded niches.. Another great informative video!
Thank you very much for this simple course it is very helpful. However, can you please show us how to protect our ideas whether phrases or logos. Thanks again Greg.
Thanks for these videos. Love your channel. I have over 700 designs on 5 storefronts. I have sold 13 products(myself). Almost a year and teespring still hasn't promoted my shirts. I guess slowly gets the prize. Thanks again Greg.
Thank you Greg you have really gone above and beyond to getting this awsome video together in such a short space of time. Ive wanted to do this for sometime but got lost in alot of other rubbish videos Hats of to you mate hmmm now to start this new adventure 😊

Right on, I'm glad it helped! Thanks for the comment too, and let me know if you need anything as you're going along!
thank you so much GREG!
This video came right when i needed it
Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching :)
So simple, the point , quick, and video is is not long and boring , I’m amazed, excellent teach , honest and transparent, thank you 🙏🏽
I appreciate that! Thanks for taking the time to comment, and if you need any help or have any questions as you're going forward just let me know.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing your insights! ❤️ I have to up my Print On Demand game again 😋
Love it!! Thanks for watching :)
The first thing he says is so true. So many people are doing this that most print on demand sites no longer accept new artists. Do the research like he says.
Would you make a video on the digital products on Teespring? Please? :)
Thank you Greg! I finally understand , you are a real teacher and you are very clear.
Thank you so much!
I use Placeit for my designs but I am worried about how they would print. I am worried about the design colors specially. Would the design colors print the same as they appear on screen?
Great question! They print very well. I've bought samples to confirm it, and they are top notch!
@@GregGottfried Thanks. But Greg, what about the RGB and CMYK? I want to know if I am creating my designs in CMYK or RGB on Placeit.
@@GregGottfried I know not all colors are different when comparing RGB and CMYK. If I am not wrong, I think some colors that may print and look different are electrical blue, green, yellow etc. I have used green, yellow and other colors in my designs. So I am skeptical about it.
I have made tee- shirts and ordered one the photo was way smaller than it seemed on the photo of my tee-shirt and moke-up. I later found out I should've used 5000 by 5000 but with using their moke-up it didn't say that so now I have to start all over with my store.
7:12 Wowwww, thank you so much greg for sharing knowledge about this website.
Happy to share it with you!
When will you show us how much you make with POD? Actual numbers and analytics?
I actually used to show my accounts, sales, listings, and storefronts but it quickly lead to people trying to hack into my accounts and my designs being copied exactly.. Maybe it was naive of me to show all of my personal accounts, but that's why I no longer do it. I just share the information that will help, without the hype of the numbers. I hope that helps explain!
Do you think you would be able to recreate an account from scratch and still reach your level of success with POD? Others like you are teaching ways to be successful with POD and I’d imagine it’s getting extremely competitive and saturated. It’s so hard to commit heart and soul into something that sounds too good to be true. Do you think you could get up to 100K a year in a years time following all your instruction? Hoping you can give some kind of concrete numbers to go by. Thank you Greg...all the best 🤙🏻
@@GregGottfried I understand. However, I find hard to believe that you can make decent money from POD. You have stated to make 40k a month on passive income. If I recall with 4k followers from your Yoga Clothing store I find that very hard. Could you shows us in a way where your designs and personal information is not shown?
I dont usually comment on youtube videos but all viewers must be gratedul to the one and only Greg Gottfried thanks so much for this information for free!!!
I appreciate that! Thank you!!
Can you put the van image on the back of the shirt as well?
Hey Blair, Great question! Yes you absolutely can. Look for the small button on the POD sites to switch the view to the back of the shirt, and then add the graphic there. You can also put a pocket area graphic on the front of the shirt if you'd like. I hope that helps!
I love how thorough you are an bullet proof all your work is.
Thank you so very much! Full gratitude good man.
Greg I just did my store and I think I got too excited lol because I didn’t order samples first lol I didn’t see that suggested in any of your videos so do I need to close my store and order samples first? Thanks in advance
Hey great question!! No you don't need to order samples (that's totally optional). I think you are off to a great start!
Gregg you are a fantastic teacher! You are very generous with your knowledge and clear in the explanation. Thank you so much!
Thanks Laura! I appreciate that. If you run into any questions as you're going through any videos just let me know.
Question: when using Merch Informer to check trademarks, it comes up "not checked yet" under the safe column
does this mean it is free to use?
Great question! Just click "Check" and then refresh your page. It will have a check mark or an x. :)
Greg I have two questions
1. If I choose a saturated niche but theres a lot of people looking into that shouldn't I have more exposure and chance to get more sales ?
2. Can you provide a few more examples. I try to look for inspiration but most are design heavy. I just need one or two to know if I'm on the right track
Sir I live in India ..I want to open a store in redbubble and teespring..
Do I need to pay taxes for the payments I’ll receive , because of I don’t live in US and I don’t have a US bank account (even if I use Payoneer or PayPal)
What type of taxes do I need to pay .and to who ( US or to INDIA ).?
As I have gone through redbubble help centre it said ‘no need to pay sales tax, it is included in purchase rate ‘ but I’m still confused about any other taxes ...plz help me to get out of this..
I’ve been postponing days to start a store..
Hai bro,
There's only need to pay income tax based on the tax bracket.
I'm not a tax advisor, but you just pay your local tax :)
@@GregGottfried thank you😃
@@akhilrajkumar894 hey bro..thank you very Much..🤓🤗
@@abhiramsainagireddy5839 brother I am an Indian too and I have already started POD since two months I wanted to contact via any means so that we can get more. information together on POD as an Indians is there any way I can contact you ?
Your video is the best POD tutorial ever. You taught me a lot and now I feel I'm ready to sell my design products. Thank you!
Wow, this is great to hear!! Thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful, and you feel that your ready to start!! You're very welcome :)
As a community we can also help each promote each other stores and mock-ups and we can build as community
Yeah
Thankyou so much Greg. Very few people genuinely guide you with the right content. Keep growing and also help others with useful videos like this. God bless you:)
You're welcome! Wow, thank you for that! Best of luck with all of your endeavors :)
Can I use images from the internet for parts of my t-shirt? Like take part of an image and put it in mine?
Yes you can as long as they are copyright free and commercially usable. I recommend using sites like pixabay.com unsplash.com and pexels.com
The best video I have ever watched on T-shirt design and everything connected to it. Simply superb. Thanks a lot.
Hi Julian! Thanks for watching! I'm glad to hear that, thank you!
@@GregGottfried Hi Gregg, I have a question about the Advanced Competition Checker. Anything I type in gets me an F - not a good niche.
If I get an A, which I have never got so far, wouldn’t that point to a topic that nobody is interested in anyway?
How can I find out whether an A niche is good or one that nobody cares about?
This is one of those videos that share rare valuable information. Thank you so much!
Thank you, I appreciate that! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! You're very welcome :)
Thanks Greg! You are an awesome teacher and a very kind and generous person.
I appreciate that! Thank you Stephen. If you have any questions as you're going along just let me know!
Hi Greg, thank you so much at all. God bless you.
Guys Keep working hard! I have made 52 sales in 3 months with $400+ profit. Greg has helped a lot and i encourage you to keep working on POD and eventually you will see sales.If you have any questions let me know!
What tool you uses to make design ❤️
How many designs you have
Your first sale
Thank you , these type of comment encourages me.
How many designs do you have up for sale? And how long did it take to start getting sales. Also, do you create your designs yourself. Are you an artist or graphic designer?
What would happen if someone patent the slogan you’re using. Can I keep selling (grandfathered) or get in trouble?
10 years in POD business, lesson from my experience: its always, small fish who try to bite, small businesses try to trademark stuff they did not even create and take advantage of trends by elimination competition, second big money such as Disney, Warner Brothers, Nike, Adidas you never want to touch their turf, they compete in same segment, sell same stuff as you so just imitating them takes money from their pockets which they dont like. Some companies are most sensitive to trademark violations than others, take ETSY vs Amazon. In last years, USPTO became a little smarter, back than when I was starting, people started trademarking single words "programmer" "engineer" and so on, now if USPTO sees its widely available and spread in internet they will deny your application, which is good for everyone.
I already have a placeit subscription. Didn't even consider I can use their design tool. Thanks Greg
Happy to help! Thank you for watching 😊
This is the best print on demand video ever. Thank you very much for sharing this to beginners like me. Very easy and I am willing to try them.
Wow I’ve been struggling so much and this is to the point and most comprehensive video I’ve ever watched
Hey Sofia, thanks for taking the time to write this. Glad this video helped you get past the hard part in the beginning. If you have any questions as you're going along just let me know!
Looking at your videos really makes me pumped to start doing this myself! Thank you for the positive impact you've been doing to many people.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I’m happy these videos are helpful to you! I wish you nothing but success along your journey!
At 3:11 I'm sure Greg meant to say quotation marks not parentheses. Thank you for another great video, Greg! 👍
lol Yes I definitely did...
It's insane I went to watch your video and your freaking niche "Van Life" is exactly my freaking Niche!! WINNING!! Hitting that subscribe button now!
I was looking for metal and found GOLD!!! Amazing video! Subscribed 👌
Thank you for so much good information and not the same old lame stuff everyone else is spitting out to make them a few bucks! This is really going to help me since I will be first starting out.
You're welcome, glad to hear it's helpful! Thank you for taking the time to comment too. If you have any questions as you're going along just let me know!
I was wondering if we could use the temlplate as it is from Placeit if we think it's exactly what we need? Thanks for your videos Greg, very generous from you a true gentleman's gesture!!
Great question! Yes and No... Yes you technically can if you are the first person to upload it to the print on demand website. If someone has uploaded it exactly as is before you, then yours will be taken down as a duplicate. It's a risk to do (whether you are going to be the first one to upload it or if someone already has) so I definitely recommend editing it at least moderately to make it 'your own' before uploading. I hope that helps!
@@GregGottfried It realy does. Thank you. Wish you all the best. Keep up the good work.
I didn't know we can change sizes in Placeit, thanks for the tip 😃 It will really help me a lot.
Happy to help! Best of luck to you😊
I have just started to build up the preparations for my own POD business. Pretty much based only on what you show me. I am still a bit uncertain if I can actually succeed but I will try my best
Right on! The methods are solid, it's just hard work and patience at this point. There are some comments throughout some of the videos on my channel of people who gave it a real shot and came back months later and shared how well I worked. If you ever need motivation, I think those will keep you going!
@@GregGottfried thank you so much. I hope to return here and share positive results with you!
@@bogdananicescu6051are you still doing?
Thank you so much Greg. I am ready to launch my store. I learned so many vaulable things that I didnt know. Now it is time to execute.
Excellent!!! I’ve watched numerous videos and I’m sold on yours. Thanks 🙏🏽🤙🏽
Glad you like them! Thank you for taking the time to comment too. If you have any questions as you're going along just let me know!
Decided to just build a huge list of niches then start a designing blitz. Since I like doing something over and over until I get it more or less perfected, I have already arrived at about 300 nice 2-4 word niches that rate A with more than 2 and less than 1000 items and many with at least a 2 or more BSR . Next plan on intensive designing, again plenty of opportunity to 'get it perfected'. Not so much the design but the most efficient ways of inventorying the designs and getting them uploaded to each platform. Then it's uploading to at least 5 different sites (I have had content on one site you never mentioned since probably 2008 or so). For me, I found that I can come up with tons of great niches if I just keep adding variations to each until I've exhausted my thoughts on one before moving onto another. I check each one on MI and record the # of products as well as BSR for each word group and add one through 5 exclamation marks to designate what chances I feel how a word group would compete. The actual time spent on that list was maybe 3 evenings. It's much easier to generate the niches when that is all your thinking about. Someone had posted that they went through tons of searches and was having a very hard time getting A graded results. The method I used resulted in maybe 90+% grade A and very few of less. Makes for a great way to train my brain to think niches and better words to use . Just a couple thought that may help someone find the "A" graded niches.. Another great informative video!
Best. Video On POD. Ever.
Thank you!!
Watched so many of your videos and you are so good at teaching and just getting to the point!
I appreciate that! Thanks Marianna!
Very Good Informations in Easy & Understandable language ....... Thanks ....... Love❤ from India🇮🇳

Thank you very much for this simple course it is very helpful. However, can you please show us how to protect our ideas whether phrases or logos. Thanks again Greg.
Your content is always positive and informative.... and I have learned a lot from following your channel!
You really are a great teacher!
Thank you for your kind comment- that means a lot. I’m so happy you are enjoying the videos! I wish you nothing but the best 👍🏼
Thanks for these videos. Love your channel. I have over 700 designs on 5 storefronts. I have sold 13 products(myself). Almost a year and teespring still hasn't promoted my shirts. I guess slowly gets the prize. Thanks again Greg.
Congratulations on the sales! And yes, stick with it, keep creating & staying positive- you got this! :)
