When you use Shopify and customer places an order, do we instantly get the money from the order so we can then pay printing to fulfill that order. If we don’t have a credit card or money upfront to invest.
Really good video. I love your no-BS, honest style. I am not in POD or have any plans to do so, but your style is someting that all creators can learn from.
Okay here's the point at which I wonder if I should drop by the wayside. Speaking of ads at all these social media sites, plus this, plus that, sounds like an expense level and energy level I'm not sure I could maintain. You speak of partnering with your brother, two young men with energy and fresh ideas, whereas I am one older person, willing to learn and work really hard to achieve this, but with a limited budget and I do need to sleep. Hmmmmm. What to do. Thanks for laying out the reality of it so I can make an informed decision.
@@shimmymorris1 Thanks Shimmy. What is the average CAC vs AOV on a new store. I was thinking a Subscription model would be a way of leveraging the upfront ad cost. Is it like £10-20 per sale on adspend?
@@shimmymorris1 and secondly, how would I go about picking your brains on call - and what is the best resource of blueprint. I’ve left the UK and going to do something and it has to work as I am responsible for 3 kids. ;)
@@Onlylovelystuff erm, I don’t do 1-2-1s at the moment as I keep all that stuff in our community now. I might be adding it back separately but the best way to chat is through the community probably
Thanks for sharing. This is very informative! I’ve been thinking about POD but want to use my own original art. I’m just wondering if there’s any point nowadays with all the AI designs and bulk postings flooding the market. Just something to think about too.
That's super interesting, thank you for making honest and no BS content. It's hard to know who to trust these days on TH-cam. As I'm in the uk as well, wondering how do you launch a store in the US? Do you need a bank account there or can you connect your printify and shopify accounts to a UK business bank account? And aren't there sales taxes that need to be paid in the US? Thank you, will check out your communities!
Thanks for watching!! No US bank account needed. I set it up with UK details, and sell in the US. I don't pay US tax but I do have to pay sales tax on the inventory. It's very minimal
@@shimmymorris1 can one open a bank account like in Portugal and then pay tax there even if one has not moved yet, but due to POD, working online nad being a person who likes to travel while working? what rights do we Europeans have to make POD work so that one pays the tax in the European country with the lowest tax?... I live in the highest tax-paying country right now, so to me, this issue really matters to get started the right way and not end up ruined by the tax office, we got 68% in tax for small companies ... help is needed to make this work in a better way.. thanks!
When you say "Shopify", what you really mean is selling on your OWN website, right? That's regardless of the platform it's built with. I know Shopify is ready to use out of the box with all the SEO tools available, but is there any other business advantage to using Shopify specifically over an ecommerce website hosted elsewhere?
They say the truth will set you free! This presentation ABSOLUTLY DID THAT. What a refreshing change to the sea of confusing information surrounding POD. I was just at the point of giving up on POD as viable way to earn a living online, when I stumbled across this video. Got my sights set on the paid program, hopefully before the early bird special ends. a HUGE THANKS for these fantastic insights.
When people buy a shirt on Etsy, do they click right through to printify and they handle it or do you have to collect money, pay printify and manually process the item?
I think that you have to collect money, pay printify, but if you integrate your printify with amazon or etsy which is not free "I guess" they'll process the item for you.
Really interesting video and a fantastic framework but I think you should add what I would consider an important point, you did touch on it but only as a side mention "your target market". Without having a clear market in mind and I am just realising this myself you have no clear destination for style, designs, production partners and what products are available in your target market area. So really early on you need to decide who and where as that will start to dictate your pod path. Having been firmly on the fence for the last 6 months I am starting to see a path, for that I thank you
Yes, the first step is picking your niche, that is your target market... None of this was to detailed as it was just the overview of the framework. But you are right, the target market is very important and it's the first piece of the puzzle
@@shimmymorris1 morning, by target market I was thinking more location, Europe, States, Asia, UK etc I think this will effect your choice of niche, supplier, branding and more, example gardening is a great niche for many places but may not be so popular maybe in a sandy Arab or Africa country. Until I watched this video it never occurred to me tbh.
It only opened 15 days ago, and the training goes live on the 15th May. So I’ll let you know ☺️ - it’s currently in the pre launch stage at 50% off. It’s not a simple training course where you sign up and take it and that’s that. . We’ve been building this out for 8 months. The course is a tiny element of it. The 1:1 support and the community is the biggest element of it It’s a thriving community at the moment and everyone in it is just so positive and helpful! It’s so nice doing this with likeminded people.
Good work as always, and thanks, I have some questions 1- your course is 49/month till the 15th, so if I join now will I be paying same or from next month I will have to pay 99 /month 2-is instagram and TikTok allow us to post products and mention link on bio? I had a warning by instagram long ago
Hey! 1. If you sign up before 15th or before 200 people it’s always 49 for you. 2. You can add shop links but sometimes you need a certain follower size
Thanks so much for mentioning this. I was just looking at Prinifty recently and trying to narrow down which ones to try. I had bad luck with Awkward Styles for my first POD (even though they did refund), but I had to redo my Shopify listings with a 2nd POD. I invested heavily in samples with Custom Cat, but again, I am disappointed with overall quality (even though customer service was great). So I will give Swift POD a try. Thanks!
Can you do a video on setting up shopify for selling to the US when you’re outside of the US? Store settings wise etc. Super stumped on this part 😅
When you use Shopify and customer places an order, do we instantly get the money from the order so we can then pay printing to fulfill that order. If we don’t have a credit card or money upfront to invest.
Superb!! Thank you, Shimmy.

What an absolute fantastic vid. I'm bookmarking this one for sure. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!!
Thanks Shimmy. Have you ever considered a subscription based POD product? Would ppl subscribe to something like monthly new T-shirt?
@@Onlylovelystuff oooo I have not that but that does sound intriguing. I’ve seen sock companies do it. But never T-shirt companies

@@Onlylovelystuff it really depends and changes over time too. So don’t wna give a generic figure as that could be misleading

Great informations as usual, in my opinion you are number 1️⃣ when it comes to POD, keep it up and good luck in your projects
Aw thank you so much that’s really kind of you

He said on another video that is very difficult if not impossible to sell your etsy account, with Shopify it's more straightforward.
Etsy is not available in a lot of countries if you want to sign up as a seller
I know it’s very unfortunate which is why I like Shopify

@@shimmymorris1 Thanks
what does he say at 1:28 ?
I need help Do you recommend printful manufacture overseas or local manufacturers
Printful has various facilities around the world, so they can work. So does printify, gelato, etc
Which print on demand company better about shipping and quality of manufacture
@@ChristianJulesCruto-bp6fe we use printify with swiftpod
Huge thanks @@shimmymorris1 I’m 13 yrs old l hope my future business will be great don’t have a good have a great day

still don't understand how godaddy created that brand name lol, a bit ambiguous 😅
Can you explain please how to connect printify to amazon mba?
Printify doesn’t connect to Amazon. MBA is its own thing and has print on demand printing and shipping already integrated
@@shimmymorris1 bro im just trolling because of your last scam dude video 😂😂
On Etsy almost all pod designs contain the work f@k.......
Do they…
@@shimmymorris1 yes especially tumblers
'Almost all designs'?!! You seem not to understand the meaning of the word 'most' .😂😂
