Thank you for existing pal 👍👍👍
Thank you !!!
Immediate thumbs up for that intro!!! 🤣
Thank you LOL
@0:12 So very true 🤣
Some of your videos made it a bit easier for me, if I get to FBA I'm def touching base with the videos you posted.
I walked away from amazon. Listing a print was super complicated and didn't link with my website. When I finally started getting some sales the returns were outrageous and you don't have any say in it.
Yikes! that's crazy
so the thumbnail was a little click baity but the info inside was 🔥. I need to list 2 new products on the store today and this will help. The standard variations method is a PITA. It took me less than 60 seconds to get accepted in Amazon Custom after I logged into SC. As for the listing pics. I use the Background remover in Canva and then add a drop shadow, so it doesn't look terrible. According the image guidelines for Handmade only the main image has to be on a perfectly white background. It's worked for me so far. Going forward though, I will definitely shoot photos with Amazon guidelines in mind. Continued success too all.
Amazon is like a hydra, you cut off one head , another grows immediately back
Excellent info -Been thinking about it. Did you see an option where the buyer can upload an image to be printed or engraved?
I think that is an option when you enable custom. There are lots of options for the customer to customize the item. That said I can not confirm that for sure.
Just wait until you set up your first FBA shipment- whole new level of confusion.
I'm not looking forward to it and looking forward to it at the same time
Your backgrounds look grey to me, rather than white. Either correct in post or use a software that allows you to snip the item and insert it on a pure white (#FFFFFF hex code) background. My 2 cents.
after this video I discovered this white is not white to them. They want absolute white. Did exactly that made it FFFFFF and we are up and running.
I like 3d printing but this doesn't belong in the handmade category. I'm a welder and woodworker as well as a 3d printer. Show me where on your 3d print is the spot that isn't quite right because you sneezed while sanding. Show me the spot on your 3d print that has a mark because you were shaping it with your favorite pliers but they have a knick in them from that time you hit the pliers with your grinder. These things are not hand made. Keep it real. If it's not made by your hands it isn't hand made.
I respect your perspective as a skilled welder and woodworker-there’s something truly special about the imperfections that come from traditional hand tools. But “handmade” isn’t defined by the tool alone; it’s about the process and the intent behind the creation. The products I make didn’t exist until I designed them, layer by layer, from an idea in my head. I bring them to life using a 3D printer, but I could bring them to life with any tool.
That said, this is coming from a maker’s perspective. For me, it’s not about whether it’s shaped by a grinder or built layer-by-layer-it’s about creating something unique that didn’t exist before. Whether it’s sanded wood, welded steel, or printed filament, the result is still a product of skill, creativity, and effort. At the end of the day, it’s less about the tool and more about the craftsmanship.
@tenmilecreations I can respect that reply. I enjoy 3D printing because it allows me to make things I can't do with metals or wood but I still don't see it as handmade.
I think handmade is the idea that the thing can't be mass produced the exact same way every time. Again, I respect your view point but I can't agree with it. Mass produced, perfectly replicated things are not handmade in my opinion. But if you can get onto Amazon at a lower cost using that description of your items then more power to you because I understand business as well. Keeping costs low is important.
