Your videos are always so informative and helpful, thank you! Does anyone know if we can edit any pre-made images found on creative fabrica on canva? Example: I found some pre made designs I like but I would like to crop the image out and or change the font used but i have no clue if that’s a possibility to do on canva? Thank you!
Yes you can! Add the png to Canva, click "edit image", then click "background remover", then an eraser tool will pop up that will allow you to erase parts of the design, then click apply! Here is a link to the part of a video where I show this step by step th-cam.com/video/PXJQRv4j3Q0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much h for taking the time out of your busy day to have this super beneficial video today. You are a blessing in all of our lives who has watched this today. Thank you so much! 💓
You rock! Of all the videos of how tos I’ve watched you gave me more information and inspiration not to mention guidance. Thank you so much. Now I have a goal.
I just wanted to let you know how much I love and appreciate your videos! You are so helpful and informative, and I absolutely appreciate the way you break things down in a way that we can understand and follow along. Thank you so much for what you are doing….please keep it up!
Newbie to Etsy here! It can definitely be overwhelming designing but I play your videos in the background and I remain calm. Lol! Thank you for your help and kind words of motivation.
Thank you so much, Cassiy! You’re so generous with the information you share. This is just the video I have been searching for. Thank you for sharing it early enough so we have time to get to work. I am very much looking forward to the logistics video to cover the other side of things! I can’t thank you enough! 😊 The tricky part now will be to also get listings up that will sell after the holidays! I opened my shop in July so I feel I am racing against the clock trying to get ready for Q4 and beyond 🤣
I'll probably talk about that some in my logistics video as well or I will share a video in October of what to work on! I'd be spending about 75% of your time on holiday designs right now and then 25% of the time on more "evergreen designs" or designs that can sell at any time. A good one to try is the professions niche, because you can make one cute design and then just change the words out for each profession. This is a great way to quickly get new designs into your store without having to spend tons of time designing. Then in October, I'd take a week break and design for Valentines Day, St Patricks Day and the 100th day of school!
I find your videos to be quite helpful. It's nice to hear from someone who is successful but only started a couple years ago. Those that started 10 years ago have an advantage just for being around so long.
Hi, Cassy! I absolutely love your vedos, they are very helpful and easy to follow. That's why, even though I watched them all, I tend to watch them again whenever I list something new or need a refresh in some topic. So I found that Most likely to has been submitted to trademark for shirts and clothing, not yet given a registration no, but just as well I think we should be aware. So my question is what do we do next? How can we avoid future infringements and if there is a work around to this type of thing, like can we still design this way and not use the phrase in our title, tags or description. I know you've made a video about this subject and also mention it on others, but I was wondering if you have some new insights. Thank you so much for all the valuable work that you do for all of us new to this!
Cassiy when you talked about mock up issues that people have in your previous video felt I could be making some of those newbie boo boos lol wondering if you could show us how to scale the mock ups on Etsy. I feel Like I spend too much time thinking should I go square or rectangle and which rectangle .. is there an efficient way to proceed? Thanks for this and everything you share with us
Always wonderful Cassiy! OMG I have so much work to do. Do you have any hints on colors to stick with for Christmas? Red green white? I’ll have to get some mocks to match . Thank you so much for your wisdom and for sharing it with us 🥰
I hope this video was so helpful for you as you plan your holiday strategy! Thanks so much for watching! Yes, red and green are really popular, but I would also say you can't go wrong with white, black and gray. :)
Hey Cassiy. New subscriber here and I love your videos! You do an excellent job at explaining and showing helpful information for print on demand. I did read the creative fabrica policy, etc. but it's still confusing o try and figure out what's ok to use for POD products and what's not. Do you have more videos on this info? Thank you so much!
Hi Kathleen! When you're looking at a shops page, scroll down to the bottom passed their reviews and you'll see their number of sales and when they started on Etsy. Hope that helps! :)
Hi Cassiy ! I have watched a lot of your videos and I am wondering if you could do a breakdown of your expenses mostly the price for mock-ups , graphics , software starting out ?
Thank you so much for always providing us with so much information! You honestly have one of the most useful channels out there. Question, do you know if it’s possible to setup our Printify account to ship our customers Etsy orders to ourselves first that way we can do customized packaging or add non POD options from our shop?
Cassiy I just wanted to thank you for your videos! They are so informative! I just opened my Etsy shop and have not made any sales but remain hopeful. I am confused about when a print provider on Printify doesn't carry a certain color ( like sand) on a sweatshirt, or they are out of stock.How can I have two print providers for the different colors I want to offer? Thank you!
You would just list the items for sale with the print provider that has the items available that you sell. Then if they go out of stock, Printify will let you know and then you will be promoted to choose a different print provider to make it for you at that time! If someone buys 2 items from you and they are made by 2 different providers, then you just need to let the customer know that they will be coming separately.
Wonderful guidance for all of us, Cassiy. Thanks a million. Do you group ALL of your Christmas listings in a Christmas category, or if you make a nurse Christmas shirt for example, do you put that within your nurse category? As far as I have found, you can only place a listing in one category at a time. Thanks again, and see you on the next one. 😃
Thanks Cassiy! I love this video. It’s 2023 when I’m writing this. Would you still recommend T-shirts and sweatshirts exclusively, or should we be focusing on other products? Thanks! ❤
I have been waiting for this video!!! Thank you so much!!!! Will you please do a video on etsy ads? When you run them and on what? I spend a lot of time and really research my SEO, but I feel I need ads to help boost me in the ratings! I also feel like I'm wasting my money.... I know you've said a little about ads, but I would love some advice!! Thank you I love all your videos!!
Thanks so much for all the great videos! They are so helpful! I have a techy question/maybe video idea. I am wondering how to edit an item after it has been published/synced with Etsy and not have to start all over with a new listing. If you get a chance, I'd love to hear your workaround on how to do that!
I guess it depends on what you need to edit, if you are editing the mockups, SEO or price, then you just edit this all on Etsy and it will remain synced. If you want to change the PNG, then you just need to go to that item in Printify, edit the png and change it, then republish it to Etsy. Then you will just have to add the new mockups.
This is great thank you! I am very new to Etsy and wondering how to do the daily research for Chistmas Best Sellers as you recommend in this video - huge thanks for any guidance :)
Hi Cassidy, thanks so much for your videos! I was wondering if you could explain (or maybe you did in another video) how to change the text in Canva on a design that you have downloaded from Creative Fabrica?
th-cam.com/video/PXJQRv4j3Q0/w-d-xo.html - How to erase parts of designs on Canva - This clip from this video shows you how to erase parts of the design and then you can add different text!
It’s definitely not too late, go ahead and do a bit of all three for sure! I keep designing for Halloween all the up until the beginning of October. You just have to try to be ahead of the trends to really get those early sales and lock in your spots at the beginning of the sales season at the top of the search results!
Hi Cassiy. I have been following you for some time and can I just say that the information and tutorials you provide are invaluable - so thank you! 🙂Could I just ask your opinion on Everbee - I see a lot of entrepreneurs suggesting use of Sale Samurai, and I was wondering, do you use this also or is Sale Samurai an alternative? (does Everbee provide all the same information?) If you could possible offer your view on why one is better/more useful than the other I would be extremely grateful! Many thanks
Your videos have been so helpful! I have a question though. Is it true we cannot use the pro graphics on canva if we are are going to sell our designs?
I always do the Heather Kelly personally but I’d do some research for yourself and see what a bunch of successful listings have used in past years! Also doesn’t hurt to try both as a split test. Honestly most times my Christmas stuff is on basic colors like Black, White, Sport Gray, Ash and Sand
Aloha Cassiy ! My name is Michelle and I so thankful for your TH-cam channel ❤ I was wondering about setting up my shop......Im starting with tees and sweatshirts but I would like to do tote bags and mugs too.....should I have a sperate store for each type of product or combine all types of products under one shop? Please advise, thank you.
Hi. Thank you so much for all your great content. I have been learning a lot. One question I have is about the dimensions for sweatshirts on Amazon. I have designed 4500 x 5400 for everything. And is that dimension okay for Etsy? Hope this makes sense. Thank you.
Cassiy your video is simple and easy to follow, which is awesome. Quick question on one of tutorials you mentioned you like to use athletic heather and white as your colors, for Christmas, are those still the colors you recommend? Is it better to have fewer color options, so the customer doesn't go into analysis paralysis?
Yes I think fewer color options are best! I do sometimes offer red and green shirts as well for holidays if it makes sense with he design but usually I make colorful designs that look best of white, black or light gray!
I am SO curious.... you mentioned a goal of having 500 Christmas listings up....I've been working for months to reach a goal of having 800 listings TOTAL up in my shop, and am still about 100 away....Anyway what I am curious about is about how many listings do you have up all together at any given time in your shop? Do you ever have listings that never sell and so you take them down? Thanks! Your vidoes are seriously the best. :)
At any given time I will have between 1500 - 3000 listings. I have plenty of listings that don't preform, it's all just a number game and testing different things until you find what works. I usually let items renew twice to see if they will sell and if they don't, then as they renew for the third time, I will change them to manual renewal so If they don't sell in that timeframe, I will just let them expire!
There are a lot of reasons why I like Printify more, faster shipping, more options for products and cheaper prices are the biggest ones. Here is a video I did comparing the price difference and it's drastic. th-cam.com/video/10_e5od0EVU/w-d-xo.html
Another treasure trove of a video, Cassiy, thank you!! A possible topic for new folks might be about what to expect and how to prepare for the inevitable issues the print on demand companies have with stock when they get overwhelmed over the holidays, and have delays. How to deal with this and keep customers happy. Would love to hear your advice on this. :)
Thanks so much for watching Alex, really appreciate you taking the time to comment on my video to support me and I am so glad you are getting value for your business
Thank you sooooo much for yourvaluable information. Am I right in thinking that you have to have some money up front in a Printify wallet for your first couple of sales?
You can either add money to your Printify wallet or connect a credit card of debit card because yes you need to pay for the item cost + shipping before they will begin making it. Then Etsy sends you the money the customer paid - Etsy fees, and you get to keep the difference.
Thank you Cassiy you are the best! 🙏🙌 I used your Creative Fabrica and Everbee affiliate links to give back a little bit. This video is pure gold and extremely motivating! Thanks again! What do you think would be better? publishing the designs as I´m creating them or have the 500 and publish all of them in October?
Publish them all now for sure! Then you can start getting an idea of what’s working so you can make more of it, and slowly be rising in the rankings to get best sellers. Then as the masses come shopping in October and November, then you are at the top of the search results and ready!
Thanks so much for another fantastic video full of SO much valuable information, Cassiy! I’m looking forward to the next one you were talking about as well! 🥰
Thank you Cassiy for all the wonderful videos and extensive information you provide. You are extremely generous with your knowledge. I am a bit new and am having difficulty with the shipping times. In one of your videos you said (I believe) you like to do custom ship times (5-10 days). I am finding this is pushing the expected receipt date for customers out almost 3 weeks at worst case and I am concerned people will shy away from purchasing from me because they are potentially waiting so long for their item. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thank you.
I like to do 3-10 days for processing and 2-5 days for shipping! Sometimes it really does take that long especially closer to the holidays. So it’s better to have it set longer just in case so you don’t get customers expecting it 7 days from now and then mad when it doesn’t show up
Casey, i am your fan and my success goes to you as i imbibed all business skills and sense from your videos. Thank you for doing that! I was wondering whether any design work can be expensed on taxes? i.e if someone makes design for me/ outsource? Can this be write off?
Thank you very much for your content! I am learning a lot!! I have the doubt if I can affiliate two POD companies in my store? This is going to be my first Q4, I'm really excited and waiting for your videos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You can use two companies for sure but make sure not to spread yourself too thin, I would recommend focusing on selling sweatshirts and t-shirts and when those start taking off, then adding those designs potentially to new items!
Another fantasy video!! Thanks for sharing! Just curious how much do you typically spend on advertising and do you only use Etsy ads or do you use other forms of advertising?
I've only used Etsy ads and leading up to the holidays in the past I have spent like $40/day and then during November last year I spent $100 per day. But I might even up that this year and do more. But I try to only advertise what is already working so I already know they are proven good designs that people want, I just need to get them in front of more people!
Thank you so much, Cassiy! I learn so much from your channel. Quick question, Is there any way to have multiple products in one listing like ( v neck, toddler, onesie T-shirts sizes in one listing) sync automatically on printify, or do I have to manually fulfill each?
You could do this manually where you add all of the variations manually on Etsy but then you'd have to copy and paste EVERY SINGLE sku number for every size and color from Printify over to Etsy. So not worth it in my opinion since we do POD. I recommend having these all be separate listings and then you come up lots of times in the same search results instead of just once!
Hi Cassiy! Thanks so much for all your hard work on youtube. You truly do a great job! I have learned so much from watching you! I have a quick question for you. I know you like to personally use Monster Digital for most of you shirts but do you ever swap up on companies if another one is cheaper priced or less time to ship like SwiftPOD or Awkward styles?
It's easiest to pick one print provider for all of your apparel products and try to stick with it, that way if someone buys a few products, they aren't all shipping separate!
Very inspirational and informative! Thanks so much! Have your customers ever complained about Swift Pods smaller print size on Tshirt and Sweatshirt compared to Monster Digital?
Thanks for your response and info! We are also very grateful for all of your videos saving us so much time and from so many problems now and down the road!
Your videos are always so informative and helpful, thank you! Does anyone know if we can edit any pre-made images found on creative fabrica on canva? Example: I found some pre made designs I like but I would like to crop the image out and or change the font used but i have no clue if that’s a possibility to do on canva? Thank you!

Yes Christmas is a long season so start early and keep designing all the way until the end of the season 🔥
Is it too late to focus on Halloween and thanksgiving or should you do all three, but focus more on Christmas?
It’s definitely not too late, go ahead and do a bit of all three for sure! I keep designing for Halloween all the up until the beginning of October.

Do you suggest rolling the shipping price into the item cost on Etsy or separating them out?
I suggest rolling them together and offering free shipping. :)

I really reccomend doing them all in one shop! Here is a video I made all about this
Great video !!!
Thank you so much!!
Hi. Thank you so much for all your great content. I have been learning a lot. One question I have is about the dimensions for sweatshirts on Amazon. I have designed 4500 x 5400 for everything. And is that dimension okay for Etsy? Hope this makes sense. Thank you.
Yes these design sizes are perfect to use on Printify!
Thank you so much Cassiy, this is so helpful 🥰
So glad you enjoyed it Misa ❤️
So good thank you for another great video!
Really appreciate that, so glad you got some value!!
Love all your info! Thank you so much💕
So glad, thanks for watching!
Cassiy your video is simple and easy to follow, which is awesome. Quick question on one of tutorials you mentioned you like to use athletic heather and white as your colors, for Christmas, are those still the colors you recommend? Is it better to have fewer color options, so the customer doesn't go into analysis paralysis?
Yes I think fewer color options are best! I do sometimes offer red and green shirts as well for holidays if it makes sense with he design but usually I make colorful designs that look best of white, black or light gray!
I am SO curious.... you mentioned a goal of having 500 Christmas listings up....I've been working for months to reach a goal of having 800 listings TOTAL up in my shop, and am still about 100 away....Anyway what I am curious about is about how many listings do you have up all together at any given time in your shop? Do you ever have listings that never sell and so you take them down? Thanks! Your vidoes are seriously the best. :)
At any given time I will have between 1500 - 3000 listings. I have plenty of listings that don't preform, it's all just a number game and testing different things until you find what works. I usually let items renew twice to see if they will sell and if they don't, then as they renew for the third time, I will change them to manual renewal so If they don't sell in that timeframe, I will just let them expire!
@@CassiyJohnson aww thanks so much for responding! Really appreciate all the helpful info and actual numbers!
Waiting for it
Hope you loved it!
I use printful, is there a reason you like printify more?
There are a lot of reasons why I like Printify more, faster shipping, more options for products and cheaper prices are the biggest ones. Here is a video I did comparing the price difference and it's drastic. th-cam.com/video/10_e5od0EVU/w-d-xo.html
Another treasure trove of a video, Cassiy, thank you!! A possible topic for new folks might be about what to expect and how to prepare for the inevitable issues the print on demand companies have with stock when they get overwhelmed over the holidays, and have delays. How to deal with this and keep customers happy. Would love to hear your advice on this. :)
oh you already did one, awesome!! lol
Hey it was a great recommendation though lol thanks for watching and commenting, really appreciate you!
So when you download these graphics how do you erase the words and add your own in canva? I am struggling ! Thank you for posting this!
Yes exactly, erase the words and add your own for sure!
Thank you so much Cassiy. I love all your videos, they're so helpful for newbies like me! x
Thanks so much for watching Alex, really appreciate you taking the time to comment on my video to support me and I am so glad you are getting value for your business
Very helpful great idea thanks u 👌
So glad my video was helpful for you!!
Thank you sooooo much for yourvaluable information. Am I right in thinking that you have to have some money up front in a Printify wallet for your first couple of sales?
You can either add money to your Printify wallet or connect a credit card of debit card because yes you need to pay for the item cost + shipping before they will begin making it. Then Etsy sends you the money the customer paid - Etsy fees, and you get to keep the difference.
Thank you Cassiy you are the best! 🙏🙌 I used your Creative Fabrica and Everbee affiliate links to give back a little bit. This video is pure gold and extremely motivating! Thanks again!
What do you think would be better? publishing the designs as I´m creating them or have the 500 and publish all of them in October?
Publish them all now for sure! Then you can start getting an idea of what’s working so you can make more of it, and slowly be rising in the rankings to get best sellers. Then as the masses come shopping in October and November, then you are at the top of the search results and ready!
@@CassiyJohnson I will do so, Thank you once again! have an amazing day! 🤗
Cassiy still not sure how to list family shirts...e.g mommy daddy and baby...all in one listing, please.
Merry
Wishing you all the best this holiday season!! ❤️
Thanks so much for another fantastic video full of SO much valuable information, Cassiy!
I’m looking forward to the next one you were talking about as well! 🥰
Thanks for watching Lisa, so glad you found it valuable!!
Hi Cassiy, I noticed that merry christmas is trademarked? How can everyone be using it?
How did you make that shirt that you have on ?I want to make Christmas products?
I actually purchased that png on Etsy! Just type in Small Business Owner png into the Etsy search bar and you should be able to find it.
Hi Cassiy which is the best tool to create sweater mock up
I like to use Canva.com to create sweatshirt mockups!
Thank you Cassiy for all the wonderful videos and extensive information you provide. You are extremely generous with your knowledge. I am a bit new and am having difficulty with the shipping times. In one of your videos you said (I believe) you like to do custom ship times (5-10 days). I am finding this is pushing the expected receipt date for customers out almost 3 weeks at worst case and I am concerned people will shy away from purchasing from me because they are potentially waiting so long for their item. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thank you.
I like to do 3-10 days for processing and 2-5 days for shipping! Sometimes it really does take that long especially closer to the holidays. So it’s better to have it set longer just in case so you don’t get customers expecting it 7 days from now and then mad when it doesn’t show up
Casey, i am your fan and my success goes to you as i imbibed all business skills and sense from your videos. Thank you for doing that! I was wondering whether any design work can be expensed on taxes? i.e if someone makes design for me/ outsource? Can this be write off?
Yes that is something you can write off for sure!! Just make sure to keep the receipt and track all of your expenses!
Thank you very much for your content! I am learning a lot!! I have the doubt if I can affiliate two POD companies in my store? This is going to be my first Q4, I'm really excited and waiting for your videos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You can use two companies for sure but make sure not to spread yourself too thin, I would recommend focusing on selling sweatshirts and t-shirts and when those start taking off, then adding those designs potentially to new items!
@@CassiyJohnson Thank you very much for answering me, I will follow your advice!
Another fantasy video!! Thanks for sharing! Just curious how much do you typically spend on advertising and do you only use Etsy ads or do you use other forms of advertising?
I've only used Etsy ads and leading up to the holidays in the past I have spent like $40/day and then during November last year I spent $100 per day. But I might even up that this year and do more. But I try to only advertise what is already working so I already know they are proven good designs that people want, I just need to get them in front of more people!
Love these videos and all your advice!! So helpful and beneficial
So glad you are loving it, thanks for watching!!
Thank you so much, Cassiy! I learn so much from your channel. Quick question, Is there any way to have multiple products in one listing like ( v neck, toddler, onesie T-shirts sizes in one listing) sync automatically on printify, or do I have to manually fulfill each?
You could do this manually where you add all of the variations manually on Etsy but then you'd have to copy and paste EVERY SINGLE sku number for every size and color from Printify over to Etsy. So not worth it in my opinion since we do POD. I recommend having these all be separate listings and then you come up lots of times in the same search results instead of just once!
Thank you so much Cassy for all the knowledge and all the great content you share with us. You are a blessing 😊
I am so glad you are getting great value from my videos, it really means the world to me!
Hi Cassiy! Thanks so much for all your hard work on youtube. You truly do a great job! I have learned so much from watching you! I have a quick question for you. I know you like to personally use Monster Digital for most of you shirts but do you ever swap up on companies if another one is cheaper priced or less time to ship like SwiftPOD or Awkward styles?
It's easiest to pick one print provider for all of your apparel products and try to stick with it, that way if someone buys a few products, they aren't all shipping separate!
Very inspirational and informative! Thanks so much! Have your customers ever complained about Swift Pods smaller print size on Tshirt and Sweatshirt compared to Monster Digital?
No I have never gotten this complaint, I just use the full print space for SwiftPOD and it has always worked out fine.
Thanks for your response and info! We are also very grateful for all of your videos saving us so much time and from so many problems now and down the road!
