Sorry to add this onto an older video, but it's a Vexels question. I just had a brief look around the whole Vexels' Merch Store and Merch Maker tools they've added, and was almost instantly overwhelmed by how one goes about setting up a store there. I did manage to pick a name and vexels url for my store, then my brain sort of shut down trying to figure out the rest, and I've set up different online stores so I'm not a total novice. Anyway, I was hoping you'd do a video or even a series on this whole new aspect of Vexels that they've introduced. Thanks in advance!!
I've seen the brand THERAPY. It's usually embedded in their clothing in the tag. I don't think using words like that in a sentence outside their trademark or different contextualization would get you into trouble. Such as Coffee Therapy with the image of a coffee cup would already imply it has nothing to do with their branding. I would only think something like this would apply if you tried to start another clothing company and called it THERAPY, then they might find out and come after you. Even if it's just a picture of someone laying on a beach with the word Therapy under it, that would also imply it has nothing to do with the company THERAPY. I could be wrong, but I think in a practical sense this is how it would work.
yes I totally agree with you for the most part. I just know that the amazon algorithm which rejects listings doesn't really follow this logic. It often just sees a trademark and therefore give you a rejection which has a bad impact on your account
Hello, thank you for all your valuable videos. I would like to know if the Etsy algorithm recognizes copyrighted words, such as the word "therapy," even if it's just printed on the shirt but not included in the title and description. Does the algorithm recognize text from an image? Additionally, I would like to know what happens if a trademark is registered after the listing is published. Should I periodically check all my listings on tmhunt? Thanks again for your valuable contribution. I'm eagerly hoping for your response.
@@PhilipAnders Good. Thanks for the reply. Could you please answer the other questions if you can? -Does the algorithm recognize text from an image? -What happens if a trademark is registered after the listing is published. Should I periodically check all my listings on tmhunt? Thank you
I don't think the etsy algorithm does scan thumbnails for trademarks. Amazon can though. Technically you have to always be up to date with trademarks but I doubt anyone checks tmhunt for their old listings regularly@@danielerogazzo4540
Hi Philip, Your videos are a light in the dark...even if seeing how good you are puts me off :-) Thanks for your work. I have a question: I take as an example the expression "home is" which is covered by copyright. Can it be used in longer sentences like "home is where I feel happy"? Sorry for the trivial question but I'm now starting my experience with print on demand. Thanks
Good question! Trademarks are confusing. In your example the sentence "home is where I feel happy" would be infringing on the trademark "home is". So it's technically not allowed
@@PhilipAnders What a pity! Since I see so many design ones with the expression "home is...." I was hoping it would be allowed. so all sellers are taking risks. thanks a lot for your reply
Doesn't trademark work for a whole phrase? Like if "capyabaras are my therapy" isn't trademarked as a whole phrase is the trademark on the word "therapy" alone actually valid?
You could be correct, I am not a trademark expert. And in front of a court that may be a valid argument. Unfortunately the amazon rejection algorithm doesn't work that way though. You can definitely get rejections for single word trademarks even if they are part of a phrase
@@martins.6917 it might seem that way, but I have uploaded over 10,000 Designs to Amazon and I know of many people who have. You just need to be aware of which trademarks apply to you and which don't
That's pretty weird (trademarks & copyrights). So if I come up with a slogan saying "I need hug and cuddle therapy" I cannot use it because the word "therapy" is trademarked? So in theory I could go out there and trademark words like "love", "peace", "unicorn" just to make other designer miserable 🙄
On most marketplaces selling a sentence like that wouldn't be any trouble. I just like to caution people because amazon can be really strict and ruthless. But yeah it seems like you can trademark any random word
Very cool! I joined using your link to try it out as I am working on several modified public domain images that have speech bubbles which are now empty... so I want to put things in them but tired and running from office to laundry room periodically so distracted. :P Thanks for this video. - Heidi
Hello. As a note from someone who owns several trademarks; you cannot own the exclusive rights to a commonly used word as therapy hence why there are tons of uses of the word in several word marks even those specifically for t-shirts. When we submit a mark with a common word there is a line that says we understand that we are not claiming the sole use of that word. My lawyer points this out everything we submit a trademark with a common word. You can of course confirm this with any trademark lawyer.
Thanks for the headsup and I totally agree with you. The only issue is that amazon merch has a rejection algorithm which sometimes doesn't follow this logic. It just sees a trademarked word and automatically rejects it, regardless if it's common or not. And as too many rejections lead to account closure I typically recommend to stay away from most trademarks as possible. I wish they had a trademark lawyer judging rejections instead :D
Hi! Great video! I have a question-if we use quotes that are unique on platforms like Redbubble or Teespring, do we still have chances to be found in search results? If yes, how do we set our keywords such that we can be listed and found easily?
Thank you! Most people don't look for a specific phrase. They'll type in "funny avocado shirt" or "gift for yoga lover" for example. If you need help with finding keywords and writing your listings please check out my merch by Amazon listing guide video😉
What a great tool! Thanks for this helpful walk through. I appreciate the real-life examples of how you would use this to create t-shirt designs. And capybaras!? Who would have thought of that?!
I stressing about theft so much, i have heard horrors of how people are stealing others art work and it just isn't enough because there are multiple businesses stealing the same design and it takes alot of hassle to report a single seller.
This is pretty awesome. I have so many cool midjourney designs I know will sell well, but have a hard time getting funny sayings to match it has be tough. The text generator helps a lot
Sounds like a great quote generator however when I type in my niche only 16 designs are found and some aren’t even related to my niche. It’s great as it means my niche hasn’t gained traction yet but also means I have to create my own designs and risk in the future having them stolen.
Welcome to the struggle of creating designs when you've found a good niche😅 it's a good problem to have though. Designs can be stolen whether they're from Vexels or your own btw
The issue is ONLY if you use the single word as it is, if you use it in conjunction with other words it turns into your own “design” so no issues there.
Hello pal, The problem with vexels is that the day I want to cancel my subscription I lose the right to market all my designs that I created with them, for example if I have 200 or more designs selling I lose everything and go back to square one.
The tool is not free. I have registered myself and it didn’t allowed me to try it before I chose a plan. No free trial at all! And they offered me to sell them for 25% discount, which is the purpose of this video actually
The trademark thing is wrong. The only way it would be infringement is if you were having single word 'Therepy' like eg Nike lol. You can't trademark a single word and say someone can't use that in a slogan/thrase unless the Nike example again 'just do it' obviously that would be infringement
Isnt it bad for your own sales if you tell us those really easy ways to produce mass of tshirt designs to sell? the competition will raise so much with every of those how to do videos
I think that's a common misconception. "If you share your methods and help others, won't it be your own downfall?" I believe in the opposite. It's like assuming the master chef who gives away his recipe will go out of business, however what do some of the most famous chefs in the world do? Teach you how to cook
Most of these people don't even make sales themselves, they're making money off of youtube and selling you courses and "resources". I've seen very few post their real sales.
I hear you, that is frustrating. I made this video 3 weeks ago when that was still possible. Unfortunately I can't guarantee that the tools I share are always going to stay the same after my video goes live

No free trials :(
I like , after some generations, you will get the same over and over again, Naturally, there are limitations to this
as of today it is no longer free.. :(

Could you elaborate please?
oh no :( i don't think it's free anymore lol
it's NOT FREE and pretty price for AI with so many other similar tools being free
It’s not free
It ask to have a subscription 🤥

Vexels isn't free
No it's not, but their quote generator was free for the first few weeks
It's a free 2 week sign up before you have to pay. You clearly already knew that, but lied about it.
Yes you're right I am clearly lying, I never make mistakes in my videos. My entire goal is to trick people into free trials
