Do i need a permit to open a shop online? If the plan is to do it passively? What are the best 5 POD online websites are very suitable for the totally passive plan?
Hi Greg, glad to find your channel today feels like a blessing of the day to me. I have watched some of your videos today. Right after my finals will start my POD business and hope the things trun out best for me. Thank you for the content and I appreciate your hard work and honesty for your viewers. 🎉❤
Can you provide a video on the profit margins of these services? This all sounds good but at the end of the day is the effort worth it based on the profit margins?
Hi Greg! Thank you so much for your videos!! So easy to understand and follow! I started my store and I have 30 designs already and I m trying to add every day a little bit more!
Hi Greg! Love your videos Ive watched a few of them thus far. Im an expecting mom with no current income and im going to start today. Thank you for all the information!
Hi Greg, fantastic video of yours! Would you recommed to create some social media accounts (FB, IG, Pin) to adverties the products? And can we do afffiliate marketing as well? Wish you the best!
Thanks for all the videos! I just started (yesterday) thanks to watching your videos and advice. got a few designs going on teepublic and got apprentice which is fine to start :D..Can't find any of my designs tho unless I have the link taking me straight to them :( staying positive tho :D hopefully in a few weeks I'll be able to find them in one of the 50 pages it has haha. Thanks again!
Right on! And no worries about the apprentice label. All new accounts start out with that label and once they see you’re not a bot spamming the platform or breaking the terms your account will automatically change 👍
Hi Greg - this is so... helpful... So informative and to the point. Definitely you are in my subscribed list. Will check-out your tutorial. Bless your heart for sharing.
Greg, thanx for another straightforward tutorial! I'd like if you do videos on platforms such as spring, spreadshop, zazzle and fourthwall. They still do the cust service for the shops, but we have to do our own marketing, unlike pod marketplaces. I wish to know if for example spring, if u cld show us how to start a store or if spring still allows multiple stores in the dashboard with one login. And because its like our own store with no competition, are we able to sell our spring stores, or transfer the acct ro someone else? Like selling the business. Thanx for everyrhing Greg!
Thank you very much man, your videos are always full of knowledge. I am wondering, what are your thoughts on those who uses design and upload automation? Like they can create and upload 100s of designs per day.
Great question! I don’t personally recommend them because the big print on demand websites easily confuse it for spam and can take your account down. I know people use them on very large established accounts but that’s something that comes after years and I still think it’s risky.
In regards to setting the price, on Teepublic the price is set for you (so they can run sales and promotions). However, on all the other sites we are able to set our own prices and therefore determine how big our profit margin is per item.
I saw an earlier video of yours a few years back, and was intrigued . Unfortunately, I watched some other POD Etsy videos, went down that rabbit -hole, and felt that there was too much to learn, and kept getting into this cycle of watching more videos ...and getting mightily discouraged. Just when I was thinking about giving up , I saw your 2024 POD video and I must say, you are a gifted teacher and I feel inspired to follow your method.🎉 . I wish I had done so a few years ago, you give honest and good advice. I would like to know how many percent I should factor in when pricing, if I am using PayPal or Payoneer? You know, to be on the safe side? And do you recommend one over the other? I come from a family of teachers, by the way, so I am not just saying it lightly, when I hold you in high esteem. 💥👏 Kudos to you for all your success.
👍Thanks Greg for this much needed info, especially about Shopify. I know it takes time to get accepted to MBA but with patience and perseverance I got this. Thanks for always keeping it real and sharing your content to help us all succeed! 🙏
Just curious, Can you make a video or have you made a video showing how to drive traffic to your listings on these 3 sites? Or are you just posting and hoping for organic sales from random shoppers?
Great question. I've done it both ways (pretty intensely) and I now just rely on the organic traffic going to the websites. The social media strategy used to work great but it took so much time and brain power compared to just spending the same energy making more designs and getting them uploaded.
I don’t personally recommend it because the people purchasing the items from this way of print on demand (on a marketplace website rather than a clothing brand storefront) are just looking to buy the shirt for the design rather than any brand loyalty. I hope that makes sense and helps!
Thanks and great question! I switched from Canva to Placeit because not everything on Canva is copyright free (fonts & graphics specifically) and I felt the tshirt design templates on Canva were too basic. You technically can use Canva but I really think there are better options out there that will help you do a lot better in print on demand. I hope that helps!
Hi Greg! I have an issue with my teepublic's account. They changed the account category from artists to apprentice account in January, I deleted some duplicate designs but still my category is apprentice account, I have sold out 247 items in 6 months. How Do I get my account to be a artist account back? Please help me out I lost my 9 months struggle😢😢
Thanks for the comment, great question, I should have discussed this a bit more in the video. Each of the sites does payments their own way, however across the board you will be paid either automatically direct deposit to your bank each month, automatically paid to your PayPal each month, or funds build up in your account and you can choose how often you want to withdraw them either into PayPal/Payoneer/direct deposit. I hope that helps clarify!
I have taken your advice on selling 30-40 designs per sub niche. I have about 50 designs right now but no sales. How long did it take you to start getting sales?
Nice work so far! It's about 30 days average I'd say, that's a rough estimate though. Here's a video of about 50 new sellers time to first sale: th-cam.com/video/BRdK2GGOxnA/w-d-xo.html
In regards to setting the price, on Teepublic the price is set for you (so they can run sales and promotions). However, on all the other sites we are able to set our own prices and therefore determine how big our profit margin is per item.
Hey Greg is there any workaround for someone who wants to sign up for Amazon merch on demand but their bank isn't in any of the options that are listed on the merch on demand site? And if they isn't, is POD worth it without a merch on demand account on Amazon?
Hello greg.. please explain with the designs which we can use as it is.. also let us know sites where we can find designs with no problem of licensing or copyright issue ..
Placeit is my favorite website with design templates because they are all copyright free. As long as your phrase is not trademarked you have full rights to use it on designs from Placeit with no licensing issues 👍
Hi greg, great video. Thanks for all the info. I had one question, i already published my design to teepublic but when i search it i cannot find it in thier selection. Is there instances like that?
Hi Greg. Have you tried to upload your own unique design to Placeit? I have created some unique designs back in those days when I was a kid (not sure now if it would get copyright during these times). I wanted to start my POD ASAP.
In regards to setting the price, on Teepublic the price is set for you (so they can run sales and promotions). However, on all the other sites we are able to set our own prices and therefore determine how big our profit margin is per item. Average is about $5 margin per t-shirt 👍
what strategy would you suggest? so say i chose camping as my niche and then is it between 20 - 40 sub niches within tha niche? how many niche would you suggest as a minimum so you get a good passive income?
Hey Greg, I would like to know, can i still use Teespring for print on demand and your social media strategy for Teespring that you've discussed in your previous Teespring tutorials on how to make sales on Teespring?
Great question. Teespring changed up their platform to be more focused on established creators. I’ve since started doing it this way: Print On Demand Tutorial For Beginners 2024 (Step by Step) th-cam.com/video/UWf2oFExj58/w-d-xo.html
Hi Greg, enjoy watching your great videos. I tried Amazon KDP with several books, from children's books to coloring books. Uploading to Amazon does not always mean sales. What are you doing to make your products available or found when someone searches for a particular item? My books are ,in my opinion, buried deep in the bottom of Amazon. I want to start a tee shirt business as you described. Thank you
I have 10 designs to upload to TeePublic, since this is new to me should I do them one at a time or select the bulk upload? Will the process pause whenever I'm preparing the next T-Shirt? If I pick save for later how does that work? Thanks, Bill
Absolutely! I’ve done this before and it works well to help promote your own designs, but the big thing is that it’s not necessary anymore. Getting your designs listed on the big print on demand marketplaces is all I do for traffic, and I don’t do any external marketing anymore. I hope that helps to know!
Question...in a video from a few years ago you said Amazon Merch on Demand has a size requirement of 4500x5400. Is that still true for today? Thanks again for all these videos they are super helpful.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge I would like to ask you a question, can I start on teesprig? Because I have an obstacle in the payment gateways because I live in Egypt
Great question. I’ve used it in the past for tshirt designs but have switched to Placeit because not everything on Canva is copyright free, and I felt the design templates were basic compared to Placeit. I hope that helps!
My best advice at this stage would be to not give up. I've heard of it taking several attempts to get in, but once you're in it's well worth the effort.
Hi Greg! I have a question that, if i buy newbie subscription of merch informer i will get 50 trademark searches for per day or a month? Waiting for your response, Thanks.
Hello Greg. I got have been following your "Easiest ways to print on demand 2024 video. I have followed the instructions but now Iam trying to upload my t-shirt prints and it is giving me this error message. Your image isn't large enough to support all our Wall Art options. The largest size your image supports is Medium (16" x 24"). File Requirements: A high-resolution transparent .PNG at 150dpi. Minimum dimensions of at least 1500px by 1995px (not including outer transparent pixels). To enable all products, your file must be at least 5000px by 5500px. See our design guide for help. Can you help?
No worries, that message is just in regards to creating full wall sized art work (like tapestries and wall canvas prints). We are just focused on t-shirts and apparel so you can disregard that message. More on that in this tutorial: th-cam.com/video/-hV1199wN0k/w-d-xo.html
Is it possible to do Custom or Personalization orders for this way of POD? Or would I need a platform like Etsy to be able to do that? Like could they add a name or something to a design I already created.? I hope that makes sence..
do you need to give teepublic etc your real names(to get pay &/or settle yourself there)? or just Amazon(or even in Amazon, you can be anonymous)? what extent of info on yourself do they demand from you?
I hear you and I wish it was easier to just start selling on Amazon. But don’t give up, I’ve spoken to many people who got in on their 2nd or 3rd try by reapplying with different email addresses! Once you get in I think you’ll thank yourself for pushing through!
i noticed i cant make many accounts on amazon until i get approve because it mandatory needs your phone number. i dont have many phone numbers only one and it wont let me create another account with the same number link to an account already.
Greg, I'm a subscriber and I've watched many of your videos on both POD & Affiliate Marketing and they're all very informative and easy to understand, especially for a newbie like me who's 55+. However, one thing I see quite a lot on YT is many other POD designers talk a lot about using AI to create these very beautiful graphics to print on T-shirts or even posters. So I would like ask if you could make a video about your thoughts on using AI like Mid-Journey, Canva, Chat GPT 4.0 (Dalle-E3), Kittl AI and also some of the other apps that help to upscale AI graphics. Is this something you can give us some insight on? Thanks.
But what about how to market the product? How do people know about my Amazon store? How to create traffic for the store?? This is the most important point in the print-on-demand business. Unfortunately, you do not mention it or teach us your marketing strategy.
I’m glad you asked! This is something I should have explained a bit more, but you don’t have to do any external marketing yourself. By listing your designs on the marketplaces, they show up in people’s search results individually (not as your entire store) so people come to them on their own when they are already browsing the marketplace. I’ve done a ton of external marketing on social media in the past and it’s good for added traffic, but it simply takes a ton of effort compared to just focusing on creating and listing more designs to the marketplaces. I hope that makes sense and helps clarify!
There's one problem I want to apply for merch by amazon but in payment options while adding bank account it does have india as country what to do in that case ??
Hi Greg, here in Pakistan we have no paypal and stripe kindly tell is there any other payment method rather than paypal and stripe. Waiting for your response, Thank You.
Greg, I have posted 44 desings at TeePublic and they still have not approved any for sale. How did you get them to allow you to upload your images to pending and then allow you to sale them? How long did this take you? I have been waiting for over a week, sent them two emails and still have not heard back from them.

Right after my finals will start my POD business and hope the things trun out best for me. Thank you for the content and I appreciate your hard work and honesty for your viewers. 🎉❤
Thanks a million Bro, your videos have saved me from weeks of comparative research as a beginner in the POD business 🤜🏽🤛🏻
That's awesome, I appreciate the comment too. More on the way 👍
Can you provide a video on the profit margins of these services? This all sounds good but at the end of the day is the effort worth it based on the profit margins?
I think it's $2-5 for shirts, $15-25 for hoodies. He mentioned it in the video he linked.
The reply above is spot on 👍👍
Thanks for sharing. Please share how and how quickly each site pays your revenue and any data analytics available.
Hi Greg! Thank you so much for your videos!! So easy to understand and follow! I started my store and I have 30 designs already and I m trying to add every day a little bit more!
That’s amazing, nice work!
What website did you use?
What about sales?
I've been watching the video's for a week, great job. I will keep watching and learning. Thanks Greg
It's so nice to see a video about POD on a platform, other than Etsy! Thank you, Greg!
Awesome, the video was well transparent. One of the best I've seen.

Hi Greg! Can you please shed some light on setting up the pricing part of the merchandise on Teepublic?
In regards to setting the price, on Teepublic the price is set for you (so they can run sales and promotions). However, on all the other sites we are able to set our own prices and therefore determine how big our profit margin is per item.

Love the video and overall the content. Can you please recommend some free to use options for creating templates in the next one.
How do you know what the quality of shirts are? Can you choose from any sites the quality and styles?
I have the same Q 👍🏼

I don't know if this is relevant. Can you show us a video of how to set up a store in one of these apps like Red Bubble, please?
Great video.
Thank you! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Hello Greg, I wonder if it's a good idea to place a little "watermark" on my design?
I don’t personally recommend it because the people purchasing the items from this way of print on demand (on a marketplace website rather than a clothing brand storefront) are just looking to buy the shirt for the design rather than any brand loyalty. I hope that makes sense and helps!
Good information!! Thanks so much!! 👍🏽👍🏽
No worries. If you run into any questions let me know 👍🏼
Hi Greg,

Thank you! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Great Video!! Very helpful, but one question how do you receive the money whenever someone get's a buy?
Thanks for the comment, great question, I should have discussed this a bit more in the video.

You’re welcome, and thank you for the comment!
I have taken your advice on selling 30-40 designs per sub niche. I have about 50 designs right now but no sales. How long did it take you to start getting sales?
I am interested to hear this answer as well. How many designs should you have up before you can expect to see sales.
Nice work so far! It's about 30 days average I'd say, that's a rough estimate though. Here's a video of about 50 new sellers time to first sale: th-cam.com/video/BRdK2GGOxnA/w-d-xo.html
Do you have a recommended amount of t-shirts that I should put on these sites? Thanks in advance Greg. 🙏
Do you have an active POD video instead of just passive? Thanks!
With these 3 POD's, do you set the pricing, or is it handled by the sites?
In regards to setting the price, on Teepublic the price is set for you (so they can run sales and promotions). However, on all the other sites we are able to set our own prices and therefore determine how big our profit margin is per item.
Can it be sold on TikTok shop? Thanks for the video, much appreciated!
Thanks for this 💪🏽

Hi, can you make tutorial how to post it on Amazon?
How do you price items? And what is average profit per shirt?
In regards to setting the price, on Teepublic the price is set for you (so they can run sales and promotions). However, on all the other sites we are able to set our own prices and therefore determine how big our profit margin is per item. Average is about $5 margin per t-shirt 👍

Hi Greg, I want to find another POD provider with affordable. So, what do you think about Merchize?
What are your thoughts on using Canva for POD?
Hey Greg, I would like to know, can i still use Teespring for print on demand and your social media strategy for Teespring that you've discussed in your previous Teespring tutorials on how to make sales on Teespring?

Can you make videos teaching us how to design t-shirts?
Is Teepublic worth it in 2024? I just made 1 sale in last 4 months
Hi Greg, enjoy watching your great videos. I tried Amazon KDP with several books, from children's books to coloring books. Uploading to Amazon does not always mean sales. What are you doing to make your products available or found when someone searches for a particular item? My books are ,in my opinion, buried deep in the bottom of Amazon.

Is it ok to post t-shirt design on Instagram after uploading on march by Amazon if not then what is the best way to to permot print on demand t-shirts
Absolutely! I’ve done this before and it works well to help promote your own designs, but the big thing is that it’s not necessary anymore. Getting your designs listed on the big print on demand marketplaces is all I do for traffic, and I don’t do any external marketing anymore. I hope that helps to know!
What about Canva?
Any recommend about supplier with many unique t-shirt like reflective or something like that?
Can I keep the image on the template and just change the text?
Yes you can 👍
Hi Greg, can you upload AI or outside images into Placeit?
Question...in a video from a few years ago you said Amazon Merch on Demand has a size requirement of 4500x5400. Is that still true for today? Thanks again for all these videos they are super helpful.
Hi Greg, Enjoyed your video. Can you use a personal amazon account to sign up for merch by amazon?
Yes, absolutely!
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge
I would like to ask you a question, can I start on teesprig?
Because I have an obstacle in the payment gateways because I live in Egypt
I would recommend Teepublic before Teespring. You can use Payoneer on Teepublic too so you should be able to get through any payment issues in Egypt 👍
Thank you @@GregGottfried
Should I use paypal personal account or business account to receive payments from POD SITES
Personal is 100% fine 👍
Do you not use Etsy?
That's correct, I've had a bad experience with them for POD. More on that here: th-cam.com/video/m2v5bifoIX0/w-d-xo.html
i want to make Tee shirt design on canva because its free and i am just starting this work , whats your opinion ????
Great question. I’ve used it in the past for tshirt designs but have switched to Placeit because not everything on Canva is copyright free, and I felt the design templates were basic compared to Placeit. I hope that helps!
@@GregGottfried ok thanks
I need help with Placeit. Can you help me.
Advice for getting accepted to Amazon Merch. I watched your video but they rejected me twice.
My best advice at this stage would be to not give up. I've heard of it taking several attempts to get in, but once you're in it's well worth the effort.
Hi Greg!
I have a question that, if i buy newbie subscription of merch informer i will get 50 trademark searches for per day or a month?

The largest size your image supports is Medium (16" x 24").
File Requirements:
A high-resolution transparent .PNG at 150dpi. Minimum dimensions of at least 1500px by 1995px (not including outer transparent pixels).
To enable all products, your file must be at least 5000px by 5500px. See our design guide for help.
Can you help?
No worries, that message is just in regards to creating full wall sized art work (like tapestries and wall canvas prints). We are just focused on t-shirts and apparel so you can disregard that message. More on that in this tutorial: th-cam.com/video/-hV1199wN0k/w-d-xo.html
If you get accepted on Amazon, does Amazon expect you to sell exclusive with them?
Great question. No, they are non-exclusive (all the others are too) so you can sell on all of them at the same time.
Is it possible to do Custom or Personalization orders for this way of POD? Or would I need a platform like Etsy to be able to do that? Like could they add a name or something to a design I already created.? I hope that makes sence..
do you need to give teepublic etc your real names(to get pay &/or settle yourself there)? or just Amazon(or even in Amazon, you can be anonymous)? what extent of info on yourself do they demand from you?
Greg can this work in the motivational niche?
Cross-niching is key!
Absolutely!
Hi greg, I have a question. If I live in Costa Rica Can I apply for Amazon merch on demand? Thanks Be well
Yes you can 👍
Are tshirts and kdp the only options for pod for amazon or are there other items?
Hi sir
😀
Getting an Amazon account is all but impossible!😊
Do you have other POD sites showing the designs you've made? If so, do you submit those sites when applying?
@@CacklingChick I tried that didn't work
I hear you and I wish it was easier to just start selling on Amazon. But don’t give up, I’ve spoken to many people who got in on their 2nd or 3rd try by reapplying with different email addresses! Once you get in I think you’ll thank yourself for pushing through!
@@GregGottfried Just delete the account it wipes all your data
I heard it was really hard to get on to Amazon as well.
i noticed i cant make many accounts on amazon until i get approve because it mandatory needs your phone number. i dont have many phone numbers only one and it wont let me create another account with the same number link to an account already.
Question: If I have made some designs that I made, is there a way that I can verify that it not copyrighted( font, image,slogan, and soforth)?
Greg, I'm a subscriber and I've watched many of your videos on both POD & Affiliate Marketing and they're all very informative and easy to understand, especially for a newbie like me who's 55+. However, one thing I see quite a lot on YT is many other POD designers talk a lot about using AI to create these very beautiful graphics to print on T-shirts or even posters. So I would like ask if you could make a video about your thoughts on using AI like Mid-Journey, Canva, Chat GPT 4.0 (Dalle-E3), Kittl AI and also some of the other apps that help to upscale AI graphics. Is this something you can give us some insight on? Thanks.
But what about how to market the product? How do people know about my Amazon store? How to create traffic for the store?? This is the most important point in the print-on-demand business. Unfortunately, you do not mention it or teach us your marketing strategy.
I’m glad you asked! This is something I should have explained a bit more, but you don’t have to do any external marketing yourself. By listing your designs on the marketplaces, they show up in people’s search results individually (not as your entire store) so people come to them on their own when they are already browsing the marketplace. I’ve done a ton of external marketing on social media in the past and it’s good for added traffic, but it simply takes a ton of effort compared to just focusing on creating and listing more designs to the marketplaces. I hope that makes sense and helps clarify!
@@GregGottfried Thanks 🌹🙌🏻
There's one problem I want to apply for merch by amazon but in payment options while adding bank account it does have india as country what to do in that case ??
I recommend looking into Payoneer's US Payment Service 👍
Hi Greg, here in Pakistan we have no paypal and stripe kindly tell is there any other payment method rather than paypal and stripe.
Waiting for your response, Thank You.
Alternatively you could use Payoneer 👍
Okay thats Great 👍.
Thank You very Much Sir!
Greg, I have posted 44 desings at TeePublic and they still have not approved any for sale. How did you get them to allow you to upload your images to pending and then allow you to sale them? How long did this take you? I have been waiting for over a week, sent them two emails and still have not heard back from them.
Did they approved them or you still waiting?
i got rejected twice from merch by amazon, its impossible to get accepted
Wouldn’t you also want to limit how many colors you have your design on due to shoppers fatigue and making up their mind
Roses are red,violets are blue,
We all searched the comments to see if it's true.
That's awesome 🙌
I tried everything Amazon 7 times think I'm blacklisted
i tried 15 times whith diff emails but at last they accepted me!!!!
@@IdrisCali-t8s where are you from?
@@IdrisCali-t8s Wow, think I should start applying again.
Does anyone know if all theses steps are doable from a phone ?
