Thank you so much, I finally found someone that actually goes at a good speed, explains everything and really helps me understand exactly how to sell digital prints. I appreciate you! Thank you!
Smiley face is trademarked, etsy sellers use it anyway. They will eventually get into trouble the same way the Disney sellers are getting in to trouble! You could also sell a real product with Printify. Thanks so much! New Etsy seller here!
Hey, great video, thanks for that. I have one question: Do you add bleed at the edges (3mm for example)? I am not sure about that, becaus, if the customer print it at home, he will use the right paper, so the bleed dont will be cut of and the print looks strange and not like it suposed to be. But if you dont ad the bleed and he goes to a printshop (or an online printshop) they will maybe cut of a bit of the design, and when there is no bleed, they will cut of the real design. I am not sure, if I should upload the regualr sized artwork or with an added bleed...
That is a great point that I honestly didn't think of before creating this tutorial! You could always upload both and let the customer know in the FAQ document that there is a file with the bleed and another file without it. Hope this helps!
Hi Megan thanks a lot for sharing the great stuff. But just one thing that how to know the stuff available on Canva is trademarked like that yellow smiley.
I would just Google it, I know not all info on Google is 100% accurate but that's what I would do if I wanted to know about trademarked things. Hope this helps!
Great video. I am a new subscriber. Looking forward to more videos. I have a question. Can you please explain the width and height for ISO A1, A2, A3, A4, A5? Thank you.
Thank you! I'm so glad to have you here! I created a "cheat sheet" that includes the A sized documents on it. You can download it at bit.ly/3PDEAFz but if you don't want to do that, a Google search can help with the exact dimensions. Hope this helps 😊
When selling printable art, it's important to know the difference between RGB and CMYK color modes and when to use each one. RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is a color model used for displaying images on electronic devices, such as computer monitors, televisions, and smartphones. RGB uses a combination of red, green, and blue light to create a wide range of colors. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) is a color model used for printing. Unlike RGB, which adds light to create color, CMYK subtracts color to create various shades. This process is called "subtractive color," and is used in the four-color printing process. When selling printable art, it's important to provide a CMYK version of the artwork in addition to an RGB version. This is because printers and monitors use different color models, and RGB artwork may look different when printed. By providing a CMYK version, you can ensure that your artwork will be accurately represented when printed. It's also a good idea to provide a high-resolution version of your artwork, in both RGB and CMYK, to ensure that it looks good when printed at a large size. If your artwork is intended for digital use only, then you can provide only an RGB version.
Thank you. This is very helpful! Some mock ups won't upload to my Etsy Shop and I get the message that they have to be less than 10 MB. I am trying to upload a mock up that has three frames in it. Is there a way to change these images so they can be uploaded to Etsy?
Hehehe love your vibe ❤ and thanks for this tut…I was told we have to upload an image of at least 300dpi CYMK to ensure the design prints good. Is that true? If yes, how do you make sure that it is 300dpi CMYK with the elements you get from Canva and Creative Fabrica? Appreciate your advice.
Thank you, I appreciate your feedback so much 💜 so I may be wrong here but I'm pretty sure anytime you download your design as a PDF print document, it's automatically 300 dpi. You don't have to worry about the elements being 300 dpi since the design itself will be high quality when you download it. Hope this helps!
I know all my print sizes I just need to know if it's a digital download print that's full color (all the way to the edges) should it be the actual print size or do I make it with the white border already around it as my final print file?
This was a very thorough and complete video. Thank you so much. I’m considering starting a store and there’s so much I don’t know. This was very very helpful!! Do most people start with their personal bank account and credit card or do they open up a business bank account and credit card account for their Etsy store?
Thank you so much for your feedback, I’m so glad I could help! So if you’re just starting out I wouldn’t worry about starting up a business bank account until I started making at least a few hundred dollars per month but it’s totally your call - great question though! 👍
Very well and simply explained. Actually, encourages me to start. However, can this method be applied to actual photographs I've taken if that's what I want to sell? Thanks :)
It a pretty much useful for beginners like me. But, still, I am a bit of a problem with how to fix the sizes with the corresponding aspect ratios like 2:3, 3:4 or 4:5 and to put all these files on Etsy step-by-step properly so that no issues come later. Can you please tell me more about it?
@@DoingDigitalWithMegan I appreciate your insights and intelligence Honrable Mam. Would you mind sending me the link vedio which describes the proper keywords searches and SEO on Etsy. I will be grateful to you Mam. I'm in Wall Arts and Posters niche. Thanks alot Mam
For printable wall art. Using PDF Print is what people recommend for allowing the customer to print the design into a physical copy with a printer. Should that be mentioned too in the description?
I thought we had to put the link in a template I’m so confused 😩cause I tried that and I can’t get the digital link it won’t paste to the template and I copied it 😩
The link goes to the template. Open up a new document, copy the link to the template, paste the link in the new document. Then share that new document as it is what links back to the template. Hope this isn't too confusing!
So the way I found "preppy wall art" was through eRank, which is used to tell you trends on Etsy. I looked up preppy wall art on Etsy so this is how I found it. I don't look on Google for Etsy trends, hopefully this makes sense!
@@DoingDigitalWithMegan thanks for my reply. Maybe my question wasn't clear. What is the definition of 'Preppy Art?'' Also @ 31.56 you pull up a ''Most Popular Tags'. I can't see that in E-rank. How do I access it?

Great vid so I just tried to get the cheat sheet in your link but nothing has come through! 😞
Hello, is the canva pdf print a 300 dpi? Or do you suggest exporting canva pdf to a 300 dpi jpg?
I'm not sure if it's 300 dpi but you could always export it just to be sure 👍

I always add both options to my listing ..saves time of having them message and having to make one or the other ..

Thank you so much.. I have question: Should I set the image in CMYK format ?
I’ve never done that (since I’ve never sold any printable art) but I don’t think it would hurt!

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is a color model used for displaying images on electronic devices, such as computer monitors, televisions, and smartphones. RGB uses a combination of red, green, and blue light to create a wide range of colors.

I had a question as to we save this design as pdf print so will the customer would be able to print that as it's a pdf
You're welcome! Also, you can save it as any type of printable file, but I find PDF prints best. Hope this helps!!
Hi .great vid . Do we have to save each resized image separately when we are done ? Or can they all be saved and downloaded at once ?
Great question! Unfortunately they have to be saved individually but maybe Canva will change that eventually!
Thank you. This is very helpful! Some mock ups won't upload to my Etsy Shop and I get the message that they have to be less than 10 MB. I am trying to upload a mock up that has three frames in it. Is there a way to change these images so they can be uploaded to Etsy?
Glad I could help! If it's the mockup that's causing issues, you could just resize the mockup so it's less than 10MB and you should be good.
@@DoingDigitalWithMegan Thanks! So far it is just the mock up so now I can do that!
How do you do larger pixel piece of original art 10800X9200 Canvas doesn't allow you to do this?
Hehehe love your vibe ❤ and thanks for this tut…I was told we have to upload an image of at least 300dpi CYMK to ensure the design prints good. Is that true? If yes, how do you make sure that it is 300dpi CMYK with the elements you get from Canva and Creative Fabrica? Appreciate your advice.
Thank you, I appreciate your feedback so much 💜 so I may be wrong here but I'm pretty sure anytime you download your design as a PDF print document, it's automatically 300 dpi. You don't have to worry about the elements being 300 dpi since the design itself will be high quality when you download it. Hope this helps!
This is true. A PDF is automatically 300dpi and yes CMYK for printable art.
I know all my print sizes I just need to know if it's a digital download print that's full color (all the way to the edges) should it be the actual print size or do I make it with the white border already around it as my final print file?
I wouldn’t leave any white edges around the final product since some picture frames have a white or colored space around it. Hope this helps!
eRank is more for Etsy? Any keyword research tool that can target or platforms too like eBay ,Amazon, Google all in one?
I know there are other platforms like eRank but I'm not familiar with the ones that target other platforms. Good luck on your seller journey! 😊
@@DoingDigitalWithMegan thanks
Wal mart was Sued in 2009 for using the Smiley face , it use to be painted on the wall when you entered the stores

For SEO purposes and uploading it into Canva? If that's what you mean then yes this should work! 😊

Can you please tell me more about it?
I explain the sizing in the cheat sheet from the description box 👍
When we do resize some alignment are not in same position. What to do for this issue
You select the elements that you want to realign, then you click "position" at the top and there will be options on how to align everything.
Wow great video ❤...And i must mention that you are "Gorgeous"❤🩹😉💗
Thank you! Glad I could help!!

How do they print wall art in the 16 x 29 range? Most printers are 8.5 by 11
Good question! You would have to go somewhere like Walgreens or find a local place that prints larger items.
Great video.
Selling this 100x will cost you 100 times x 5% plus 0.2$ one time listing. Is that corect?
awesome video! and I totally agree. I'm so tired of seeing gray and dull colors 😭😩
Sooooo glad I'm not the only one 😅
Creative Fabrica you can get a whole year for like 59 bucks it’s got a ton of free mock-ups for wall art and they are super cute!
I didn’t realize Creative Fabrica was that inexpensive! I’ll have to look into that!!
Yep it’s trademarked
Nice Tutorial. Kindly make it more SEO friendly as competition on Etsy is too much. Anyways thanks alot Mam.
I completed keyword research with eRank to find niche wall art. Nothing is too saturated if you can find the right keywords 👍

Aren't you using the margins? Will it not cut the design when the customer prints it?
I didn't use the margins in this video but I think if you do use margins it will cut the design per the margins when someone prints a design.
Aren't most wall art in jpg format? Canva does not allow 300 dpi for jpg files.
I feel like a lot of art is in PNG format but I could definitely be wrong as wall art isn't typically my thing.
Maybe this is a dumb question but what is considered 'Preppy art?' Google isn't really helping!
So the way I found "preppy wall art" was through eRank, which is used to tell you trends on Etsy. I looked up preppy wall art on Etsy so this is how I found it. I don't look on Google for Etsy trends, hopefully this makes sense!
@@DoingDigitalWithMegan thanks for my reply. Maybe my question wasn't clear. What is the definition of 'Preppy Art?''
Also @ 31.56 you pull up a ''Most Popular Tags'. I can't see that in E-rank. How do I access it?
My print files are always too large (more than 20mg) to upload to Etsy. Suggestions? Thx.
