Hey I discovered your channel a week ago and I LOVE it! I've been following your tutorials and advice and I implemented it in my store. Do you think you could review it and tell me what I should change and/or add? Thank you so much for. everything even if you don't reply.
Unfortunately I very rarely do store reviews on this channel: and I usually only review a store if I have something bad to say about it to help others, I'll be honest! 🙏 I don't offer any sort of 1-1 consultation or coaching programs either. But if you do want to have your store have a chance to be in a video, like these people, you can always drop a link to it in the comments section 🌞
Hi, it's as a result of your videos I was able to start my store. There is more for me to learn and I really appreciate it. Kindly, I will love you to do a review of my store as I am ready to go along with your advice.
It's really good that so many people are bad at design and marketing that would explain why so much people fail, makes me feel a bit hopeful because I can actually do those stuff well
Ok Sarah...time to critique your channel... First a disclaimer, I was not supported, asked or paid for this. Secondly, I have been watching for couple of years..well now to fun stuff.. does it fulfill a need..yes! Is it informative..yes! Who am I fooling? You're awesome! I always look forward to your informative and down right brutally honest reviews! But at the same time you are letting them know what they did wrong you give them example of how to do it right..absolutely love it. Now if they can only get over their bruised ego and fix it! Oh yeah guys...get over yourselves learn from a real pro! As always Sarah you are a double thumbs up 👍👍 from me! 'Moose out!!'
Profitable! Thanks, Sarah! It took 6-7 months through coronavirus and tough budgets, But my store is now covering all ads plus monthly overhead. It was definitely harder than expected, but fun and I learned a lot, so who cares. Taking your paid class definitely helped get me over the final hump. I'm very happy I stumbled upon your videos. Some questions: How do you deal with Shopify's awful bulk editing? Find and replace in descriptions iand HTML is missing, meaning a lot of edits that are simple on other platforms take hours on Shopify.. Also you often recommend upselling t-shirts to mugs. THe problem is mugs require extra shipping and the profit is low. I wonder how you manage this. Thansk again Sarah! Really pleased.
Congratulations! 1) I deal with it because it's one of the best on the market... yes... that IS one of the best on the market for small to mid sized stores for most things it does 🙈 it's a good suggestion though at add that to the bulk editor, I'd like to be able to update product page html in the bulk editor, submit the suggestion to Shopify, they do add things that their customers request! Same with the find/replace option. 2) It depends on how your store is priced, I sell my mugs for $25, there is plenty of profit there, in business, a high profit margin is 20% and I easily clear more than 20% profit (people often have wildly unrealistic expectations with profit margins I find, and think anything under 40-50% is low) with my mugs at that price (on Printful, even without a discount, are about $8 + $7 for shipping, $15) but mugs are literally just 1 example, I just bring them up as an item you can try, it's not because mugs are magically special. You can test other higher profit margin items, like tote bags, hoodies, etc. Totes of course have much higher uptake by females though so maybe go with a product that appeals to both genders equally in your niche is male orientated or unisex 🙏
Eclubhouse member now. You truly do have great content. I have seen a TON of videos on TH-cam etc and yours are very well done and most importantly you don’t have a money gun or a Lamborghini. Most of the wealthy people I met in my life don’t have any of that stuff. And they have millions. It says a lot.
Wow! Just wow! People commenting about hunting t-shirts are literally insensitive and toxic? Instead of learning why that t-shirt was successful they straight up went to comment section to write their nonsense. Please, Sarah don't listen to these people no matter how controversial these t-shirts were they were in fact as you said really good example to show why certain designs might be very successful. Just ignore them we should be able to learn regardless of feelings of certain people. And most likely they were those who downvote your videos just because they want(haters) Also I want to thank you. You are a great source of inspiration and your videos motivate and inspire a lot of people around the world! We all should be thankful
I wish I was as smart as you are. I love the way you explain things and you take the time to want to help us. I really appreciate you. And I appreciate that your mother had conceived you into this world. Thank you so much for all your advice. You're awesome. You're great and you're a good person, good investor. And good support thank you
Oh Sarah, I do love your sarcky humour. I'm sitting here with pen and pad in hand patiently waiting for you to drop my next six figure tee shirt slogan lol.
Just downloaded your free book. I'm really excited to start working on my PoD lil business, but I'm not even owning a PayPal or Payoneer account, haha. Anyway, your advices are pure gold, because they speak the truth, so thank you for being real to all of us! Can't wait to start, fail, learn, repeat and eventually succeed. :D
Lucky you, been on Etsy a month still no sales, and have a bunch of Tees, did have a lady asking if she could get a t-shirt within 3 days but obviously that's not possible with printful. Shame really...
Great advice! So many gems. Teespring will advertise your product on their site, but only after you build your trust score. I was very lost on that when I used them before. Trust score is built by making a handful of your own sales, no copyright issues, and spamming. Unfortunately, no official way to tell when the score has been built, but if you check your traffic it should be noticeably different once that as occurred.
Made me remember a woman that frequented the open access computer lab I ran, advertising an in person class on making tshirts and posters. I cringed because I knew for a fact that her flyers were 3 pages long, all caps, 5 or 6 tiny pictures and not relevant clip art, in 20pt comic sans. That’s what the flyer for the class looked like, too. She couldn’t figure out why no one signed up.
Do you have a video with step by step on how to setup a POD with shopify? Like a detailed start from nothing guide? I absolutely love your video style and would love to follow along if you have one already.
This is the year!!!! Finally taking action with your tips! Opening my Etsy tonight. I am super creative and want to sell a lot of ideas but you're making a lot of sense here. I still have to have a general store because i love coming up with witty ideas. BUT picking a niche and marketing a good design will have better results. So picking a niche is the first hurdle. Maybe turtles..........or Wordle?
Too many people think of themselves as morally superior and with the right to silence others or decide who should not participate in society. Usually the same people preach tolerance and their slogan is do not judge.
Also there was a typo in NK's shirt description....Idk if its just me but when if I came across it on the internet, I'd become skeptical, or I'd think: if they didn't have enough time to spellcheck do they care enough/will they have time for me as a customer?
OMG Sarah, I am a new subscriber to your channel. First I was just browsering on internet looking for some first POD tips. I think after two and a half weekes after teaching and researching and 5 days of binge watching Your channel its weird that your not talking to me while I sleep :D Thanks for every video, for every advice. As i am not very confident kind of person Im most definetly gonna try POD on few sites and Im connfident in this. I gave my depressed ass a speech and Im gonna do it for whole year to see results. You helped a lot, a saw that I have some cool sense of mixing up desings....and I would never NEVER post a shirt like in your review :D its a joke, everybodys got to learn :) Lucky for me I have people in my life that I can trust with brutal opinion :D Although it may be harder for me since im in Europe, but not gonna give up!
Sarah I love you 🥺. The way you have roasted is awesome. Their bad luck is not getting roasted but it is to get so much of expose to their store and have nothing but shit in it. I wish you visit my store as well. It's been just 50 hours that I just saw about there is something called POD and spent around 5 hours on your videos and now I am into the business and I have a whole idea how this system works. I thank you a lot . I haven't seen your video which is so engaging I don't think I might have started my business. I am not overconfident but very confident that in less than a year you will review my store not to roast me but to inspire others. Love you Sarah.❤️❤️
@@cindyfinlayson4197 I"m working two jobs and trying to get my paintings done before I publish my shop! It's my own fault for not putting more importance to this store!! But once I get it published I expect it to take off!!!! Thanks... I do paintings i acrylics and watercolors and also pen and ink, also pastels....
"Goat, you cannot just come and take someone else's intellectual property like this!" The word "Goat" sounds like an insult instead of someone's account name 😂😂😂 Thanks for the laugh, Sarah!
Hi! I'm a subscriber to your utube channel. Would you please do a video of which print on demand/designing sites and apps can be successful without investing in marketing? Or a video reviewing marketing companies? Thank you!
Social media is free. If you have the time, you could advertise for yourself by building a community for your niche. There are plenty of free "classes" on youtube & linkedin learning on how to digital market yourself like a pro (given enough time & effort)
What you can do to know if your design is good, you make it and wait a couple of days before you see it again. That kinda resets your brain and it's like you're seeing it for the first time. You have to be honest with yourself, tho
I am curious which is better when you are starting with no money to put into this, Should I start by selling my shirts places like Red Bubble, Etsy, and Amazon or should I start with my own Shopify Store? But then I would have to pay for advertising for my store right? So maybe I start with the 3 platforms until I bring in some money and then open my store. What do you think Sarah?
I have a question, although I create designs myself, I'm seeing a lot of ads from sites offering ready made shirt designs, you ever tried or recommend them? Or they more of a risk?
Sitting here in November 2021 wanting to start a travel-themed POD store and I was thinking it might ok to get into that niche and Sarah is saying it's not a great one right now......re-thinking my whole business plan 😭
I've spent the last 3 weeks of testing Printify suppliers and most of the results were mostly bad. I am so discouraged to even start my store... I finally know who I want to work with so I guess, I'm launching in august finally! Please consider doing an extra call to review e-comm clubhouse member's stores! I think it would be fair to charge something extra for that. I'd love to submit mine and I'd love to see your comments on others' stores!
So, my favourite supplier, Monster Digital, has created t-shirts onpar with the quality I would expect from Printful, which is why I recommend them. One tip is something I discussed recently in Oberlo's podcast (www.oberlo.com/blog/how-to-launch-a-profitable-print-on-demand-store ) is if you want to test suppliers, NEVER order sample products. Always pay full price. It's a genuinely confusing thing, but POD suppliers seem to skip a step in control quality when creating sample orders, which I am assuming keeps their prices low (since sample orders are discounted). So the quality of products you get it always worse. So if I ever want a sample order from a supplier, I always play full price 🌞
@@WholesaleTed Sarah, thank you so much! Your course has saved me from a lot of pain down the road. I remember that in one of the calls you mentioned to never order samples, always pretend to be a customer. So what I did, I placed the order through my website where I had listed my shirt for shipping plus manufacturing cost. I doubt they figured on their end that I am testing their products. I have a tricky design with chakra symbols inside a lightbulb. It has 15 colors and is very detailed. I basically had this same design made by 4 different providers, including Monster Digital. I ordered it on two different shirts because also wanted to check out the model of the shirts. On both shirts, they had stretched out the fabric while printing which resulted in the design being elongated vertically. Maybe I can use them for simple text designs, but for more complex graphic design I must nope out. So far my favorite is Print Geek. It's more expensive, but the quality is absolutely amazing.
Thanks for letting everyone know. I bought a shirt from store that cost them $0000 and 0% risk?!?? About to start my own Tee shops. Not one lets just open 20 of them. Everyone don’t by T-Shirts just make your own. BTW Nice to see the Queen on Australian Benjis! loL
I like this girl and that she is brutally honest and she’s pretty dead pan funny. Found to be pretty intelligent from her Gamestop Scam vid. Smart girl.
Hey. I'm still a little confused on upsells. Shopify says use the compare at price to put stuff on sale. You've said to set compare at price for ALL products at double the actual price, right? I did that, turned off the sale globe, and conversions today were 12%, so I'll keep it like that.. So when setting up upsells, you've said to do it with out the discount but to make upsell items appear to be on sale. But without the discount, the compare at price isn't displayed in Smar7. I'm just confused how you are implementing sales if the compare-at price isn't available for it. So far customers have clicked past the upsell popup.
Yes Sarah our Aussie notes are a lot more colourful than the US greenbacks! And to top it off, for every US$100 I earn I get AUD$150 in the exchange. 😊
I love your channel and your harsh critique I have found my niche (authors) but I find it difficult to find them to advertise to. y the very nature of the hobby or work we isolate ourselves its not a job where you need to communicate to massive amounts of people. I guess my question is where and how do I advertise my store to other authors?
Teespring is problematic in that; a. they gouge the consumer and seller on t-shirt prices, b. they gouge both consumer and seller on shipping, c. their "trust score" keeps your designs hidden from TeeSpring traffic until you have driven somewhere between two and ten sales to your storefront by yourself.
I'm also not a big fan of Teespring. As a POD provider, they produce very middling quality products. Plus their internal traffic is extremely low anyway, so you don't really get any benefit from Teespring traffic by posting there. They don't advertise aggressively like RedBubble & navigating & finding good products is much worse. It isn't designed to be a destination marketplace. If anyone can afford to spring for a Shopify subscription & open a store themselves, I'd always recommend that, but for some people, they literally can't (especially if they live in a 3rd/2nd world country where $29 USD is a lot of money) and so Teespring is an option to get started with 🌞
Hi Sarah, I was just wondering something regarding images that can be used on products. Are you allowed to get images of public domain things (Eiffel Tower, Mona Lisa as examples) online like on Google photos? Or are those restricted? Just wondering because I know its generally a good idea to use royalty free sites such as Pexels or Pixabay, but I'm not sure if its a public domain idea used, would it be Ok to get the image off Google or would it still be considered someone else's work? Thanks!
The fact that hunting is contraversial is it's self controversial, in this context. Politics is marketable but only focusing on one side seems a bit silly. The people buying your products do not care about your personal politics they only care about if the product suits them. There are people that eat only vegan and only carnivore our job as creators is not to take sides but to find the niche that is under represented and see if there is a market. So we can make a bit of money and the buyer can get an awesome product. @Wholesale Ted love the content and the brutaly honest reviews, never sugar coat it just tell it how it is. cheers m8.

One tip is something I discussed recently in Oberlo's podcast (www.oberlo.com/blog/how-to-launch-a-profitable-print-on-demand-store ) is if you want to test suppliers, NEVER order sample products. Always pay full price. It's a genuinely confusing thing, but POD suppliers seem to skip a step in control quality when creating sample orders, which I am assuming keeps their prices low (since sample orders are discounted). So the quality of products you get it always worse. So if I ever want a sample order from a supplier, I always play full price 🌞
@@WholesaleTed Sarah, thank you so much! Your course has saved me from a lot of pain down the road. I remember that in one of the calls you mentioned to never order samples, always pretend to be a customer. So what I did, I placed the order through my website where I had listed my shirt for shipping plus manufacturing cost. I doubt they figured on their end that I am testing their products.
I have a tricky design with chakra symbols inside a lightbulb. It has 15 colors and is very detailed. I basically had this same design made by 4 different providers, including Monster Digital. I ordered it on two different shirts because also wanted to check out the model of the shirts. On both shirts, they had stretched out the fabric while printing which resulted in the design being elongated vertically. Maybe I can use them for simple text designs, but for more complex graphic design I must nope out. So far my favorite is Print Geek. It's more expensive, but the quality is absolutely amazing.
Thanks for letting everyone know. I bought a shirt from store that cost them $0000 and 0% risk?!?? About to start my own Tee shops. Not one lets just open 20 of them. Everyone don’t by T-Shirts just make your own.
BTW Nice to see the Queen on Australian Benjis! loL
I love your accent and al your awesome ideas!
I like this girl and that she is brutally honest and she’s pretty dead pan funny. Found to be pretty intelligent from her Gamestop Scam vid. Smart girl.
Hey. I'm still a little confused on upsells. Shopify says use the compare at price to put stuff on sale. You've said to set compare at price for ALL products at double the actual price, right? I did that, turned off the sale globe, and conversions today were 12%, so I'll keep it like that.. So when setting up upsells, you've said to do it with out the discount but to make upsell items appear to be on sale. But without the discount, the compare at price isn't displayed in Smar7. I'm just confused how you are implementing sales if the compare-at price isn't available for it. So far customers have clicked past the upsell popup.
Candy Wrappers 😂 As an Aussie i find that hilarious.
Hey Sarah!
Yes Sarah our Aussie notes are a lot more colourful than the US greenbacks! And to top it off, for every US$100 I earn I get AUD$150 in the exchange. 😊
You are an awesome lady. I like your energy.
Any teespring tips?
I love your channel and your harsh critique I have found my niche (authors) but I find it difficult to find them to advertise to. y the very nature of the hobby or work we isolate ourselves its not a job where you need to communicate to massive amounts of people. I guess my question is where and how do I advertise my store to other authors?

That was hilarious! Love your videos! 😃
Hunting tee-shirts are pretty cool
FREEE MONEY!!!!! 💰 YAYYYYYYYY!
*jumps up and down in excitement* 😃
Hello Sarah, is women's sneakers niche a good niche to start up?
Thank you, Sarah. Your videos are very insightful and you are pretty. ❤
Sarah never disappoints, love your honesty. Am currently trying to market for my amazon merch so I can get out of tier 10, any tips? Thanks

We appreciate you
what do you think about redbubble and zazzle
Can you do a video helping us to find our niche market over social media?
Teespring is problematic in that;
a. they gouge the consumer and seller on t-shirt prices,
b. they gouge both consumer and seller on shipping,
c. their "trust score" keeps your designs hidden from TeeSpring traffic until you have driven somewhere between two and ten sales to your storefront by yourself.
I'm also not a big fan of Teespring. As a POD provider, they produce very middling quality products. Plus their internal traffic is extremely low anyway, so you don't really get any benefit from Teespring traffic by posting there. They don't advertise aggressively like RedBubble & navigating & finding good products is much worse. It isn't designed to be a destination marketplace. If anyone can afford to spring for a Shopify subscription & open a store themselves, I'd always recommend that, but for some people, they literally can't (especially if they live in a 3rd/2nd world country where $29 USD is a lot of money) and so Teespring is an option to get started with 🌞
Wholesale Ted and what provider is your favorite? Printful, Printify?
I love watching your videos 😉✌️🙏🙏
Hi Sarah, I was just wondering something regarding images that can be used on products. Are you allowed to get images of public domain things (Eiffel Tower, Mona Lisa as examples) online like on Google photos? Or are those restricted? Just wondering because I know its generally a good idea to use royalty free sites such as Pexels or Pixabay, but I'm not sure if its a public domain idea used, would it be Ok to get the image off Google or would it still be considered someone else's work? Thanks!
This is a good question
The fact that hunting is contraversial is it's self controversial, in this context. Politics is marketable but only focusing on one side seems a bit silly. The people buying your products do not care about your personal politics they only care about if the product suits them. There are people that eat only vegan and only carnivore our job as creators is not to take sides but to find the niche that is under represented and see if there is a market. So we can make a bit of money and the buyer can get an awesome product. @Wholesale Ted love the content and the brutaly honest reviews, never sugar coat it just tell it how it is. cheers m8.

Hey I have a question if I was to make a collage off Pinterest and alter them and layer them and used that on a T-shirt is that still copyright ???
Great video, thank you
The other problem with the last T shirt is that it doesn't make sense. The phrase is "All is well".
