Alek, you’re giving us so much useful and realistic information. I’m very grateful for you and your channel. It’s nice to see good people succeed, you’ve inspired me to give this every thing I’ve got. You’re an awesome human being! 😊
Alek, why don't you have memberships or super thanks enabled for your channel? It's passive income and would allow folks to repay you for your good information. Please consider it. Doing this takes time and effort - I would like to help pay for your time and knowledge.
Your videos are a game changer, Alex! I am a semi retired graphic designer with 38 years experience, looking for a side hustle to keep me going through retirement and what I discovered in your videos is mind blowing. What is the saddest thing is that I didn't know about the power of Midjourney!!! I'm so freakin excited that retirement is now out of the window and I'm ready to go into a brand new adventure. Thanks a million Alex. You are well on your way to a million subscribers!

AI getting so crazy today that if you don't use it to your own advantage like you, you are left so far behind and you will lose your job. I tried a lot of these stuff for myself, and I am content creator (using it along with Famester to have that sweet boost immediately), and so far I like it. Probably the best inventions in this century.
Thanks Alek, it's very kind of you to give people tools to make a living. Not many people lifting others up and that is exactly what you are doing. World needs more people like you.
Thanks Alek! Great ideas. Quick tip from experience on the tile function in Midjourney. When upscaling using an AI upscaler, they often loose their seamlessness - just slightly by a few pixels - but enough to notice if you're tiling on a large scale like shower curtains or fabric. Best to check before it's considered production ready.
I have watched many videos on TH-cam on a lot of subjects. Your video stands out because your tone is friendly. You come across like some friends we all had in college, the college roommate, the dude we all play ball or workout with...Much success to you and thank you for the valuable technical knowledge.
Great ideas for shop businesses here! My favorites are the custom pet collars and the digital graphics. It's amazing how AI tools can make things easier and more efficient. Like I'm using boost app social for my social media content, it's also helping a lot in crafting engaging content in seconds.
Alex i have to say,you are a true gem here. Thank you so much. I started offering CV services online and I already made almost 10k in few weeks. I still have to figure out and open an Etsy shop for downloads but I’ll eventually get to that too. Thank you so much again…
Am I the only one who automatically hits the "like" button at the beginning of Alek's videos? So many great ideas without the fluff. Thanks for the inspiration, Alek!
Good video - but, Spoonflower has been around for years - in fact they sort of used the “print on demand” model before it officially existed - they did customs on a high level at least 8 years ago, when I was in college. it was a known place to go look at or buy fabric and swatches for assignments…they aren’t any different really than a brick and mortar fabric store in any town 🤷🏾♂️..my point is they aren’t some people casually sitting in their living room ‘testing’ a fabric print on demand’ idea. They aren’t remotely new to doing custom work in the fabric design game - they were likely around before Printify.
ok but ive never heard of it, no one ik has heard of it. just because theyre successful doesnt mean no one else can and that theyve captured the entire market does it?
Thank you so much for these valuable ideas. I am about to start a couple of the ideas that you mentioned on Etsy and learning how to use the prompts. This is very helpful.
Thank you for your help. My problem, to be honest, is creativity! I've got the drive and have a couple side hustles that just aren't lucrative or making me any money. You've given me more ideas to try. I appreciate all of your videos and ideas....
Alek, I love your videos and I can see you have put lots of time and effort on your research, I truly appreciate that! May you have another full video about the tumblr wrap designs and the patterns one??? Thanks in advanced !!
I would like a full video on the pattern for blankets, wallpaper ect that you we’re talking about from beginning to end either with canva and mid journey. Does printify have wallpaper and can you use their pattern tool? As far as midjourney once you get an image -do you have to upscale each one and can we use Kittles background removal for images we upload? How do you do bundles such as clip art? If we create 40 images as you said and save each one individually how do we list all of the images as one bundle? Thanks so much!!
Thanks for this great video! This is a fabulous overview of making digital product fast on AI art programs like Mid-Journey and enough people are already doing it. These images can also be used on all kinds of POD. I am definitely looking into this.
I hand make dog collars. There is a large amount of competition and most people get their fabrics from spoonflower. Also the start up costs are a lot especially if you’re hand making them. I wouldn’t expect to get rich fast and I would tell everyone to expect to be upside down your first year.
@@CxMadeIt I am really interested to know which analytics service does he use. There is no doubt he is putting efforts to make video using multiple effects/animation effects and lot more.
This is amazing, but do you know how this dog collar guy adds personalized tags on his collars? Because I don't see this option on Printify. Also, it looks like he sources them from somewhere else, because the quality is different - and better - from what I see on Printify. Any ideas? Thanks!
I'd love to see any hacks you have created for uploading products to Etsy shop etc. It's such a tedious and boring part of the process. Anything to make it easier would be much appreciated.
Hey Alek! Love the Videos. Do you have any insight on how important it is to have a single product type shop? As in just mugs. Is it viable to offer a variety of print on demand products?
Can you share some of the customer “complaints” you’ve received in Etsy and how you handle those. Especially if you use Printify to print and ship. I worry about someone claiming poor product, didn’t receive, etc. and how that works when using something like Printify.
Hey Alek! I'm pretty dog crazy and would love to create amazing dog collars; would you make a video on how to do this step by step? Thanks in advance!! Cheers.
But how do we sell collars like the ones you showed in the beginning, with the customization and super high quality and metal buckles and all that? I don’t think the Printify ones looked anything close to those.
You said in another video to focus on one product but you also say to list a lot to see what sells. I am considering selling multiple products with the same designs. Thoughts?
I've been researching dog collars and dog bowls, but my opinion is Printify's options look cheap. What is the best way to find optional dropship suppliers?
Do you have and tips or tricks to getting your listings at the top of the page ? Is it worth paying for ads to get to the top of the listings? I think this is the most difficult part of the business, the marketing....
Hey Alek, My name is Alan. I started to do a t-shirt business on Etsy/printify, but I have PTSD issues and I was going through that. But now I'm ready to learn and jump into this. I'm not really sure where to start and I know I've got a lot to learn, but I'm reaching out to you for advice or maybe some kind of guidance on where to begin.
Hi Alek, love your videos. Would love to see one on tools to manage/improve your etsy store (ideally in bulk). Consistently getting 10-20 sales a day as T500 on AMZ merch, but maybe 2 a month on Etsy, but it's a very different market place and I find it frustrating and slow to try to edit the listings to make them more visible
Hello Alek! You are the best TH-camr! You gave the most valuable information! Thanks! I would like to see video un tumbler wrap, also on how to list them as Digital and as products. Also personalized dog collars would be interested to see ❤
hello, congratulations for the video, you have given me great ideas. I would like to know with which tool you see the number of purchases and earnings of a product, as you show in the video with the dog collars.😀
Thank you for all the helpful videos! I just started my second Etsy shop specifically for digital downloads/products. What websites do you recommend to enhance the quality of images and websites for removing white background?
I'm quite confused on how the candle thing works. So they use etsy to sell those candle design and once someone ordered, printify will be notified about the order and they will be the one who will send the product? So they are not selling candles, just the case or jar with design ?
Hey Alek, I’m loving your content! I’m trying to use AI to create designs and sell with Printify. I created all my accounts and connected Etsy to Printify and I published my first item on Printify, but Etsy is saying the listing is unavailable. Any idea why?
@alekSheffy Found your videos and figured I would give it a shot. What site are you using for background removal and upscaling? I've tried several and the results are poor at best. Thanks!

Hi alek, if I be an existing shop , but I want to try your ideas, should I open a brand new shop ? I guess so? Just want to ask

and how did it go for you? i notice so many comments like this never have a follow up.
I'm super curious too
He sounds like a great guy too...
ok so how did it go? i see so many comments like yours but (almost) never any follow up on actual results.
@@PrintOndemand-f2p there's no follow up because its all bs. shill accounts.

I agree with almost everything you said, and think AI is great but it's not great that some people are going to lose their jobs.
ai generated photo... channel doesnt have any content.... hmmm....

Yeah, boost app social is pretty cool! Been using it myself for my socials. It makes the whole process smooth and easy. 🤩
"harrisrichad" = This channel doesn't have any content
Spoonflower is a major corporation that’s been around for a very long time. It’s a fabric print on demand marketplace in itself.
I came to say the exact same thing. Spoonflower has been around for a very long time.
your channel doesnt have any content...
Alex i have to say,you are a true gem here. Thank you so much. I started offering CV services online and I already made almost 10k in few weeks. I still have to figure out and open an Etsy shop for downloads but I’ll eventually get to that too. Thank you so much again…
I like the pet portrait idea if I can learn the photo editing piece. Would love to see a video with more about this type of biz.
Am I the only one who automatically hits the "like" button at the beginning of Alek's videos? So many great ideas without the fluff. Thanks for the inspiration, Alek!
I do too.
Same!
Finally a creator who isn't posting the same copy-paste that everyone does . some good content and relatively- new ideas here
You are my hero of the week. Thank you for producing content that is insightful and potentially life changing.
Totally love your videos, Alek. Quick, slick and informative with no time wasted. Big thanks!
Spoonflower is a marketplace for designers to sell their patterns, and have people have it printed (POD).
Your channel doesn't have any content...wonder why....................................
Instant subscribe! Really like your non-nonsense friendly advice Alek!
thank you ❤️
Always waiting for your video bro 💥 Thank you!!!
Good video - but, Spoonflower has been around for years - in fact they sort of used the “print on demand” model before it officially existed - they did customs on a high level at least 8 years ago, when I was in college. it was a known place to go look at or buy fabric and swatches for assignments…they aren’t any different really than a brick and mortar fabric store in any town 🤷🏾♂️..my point is they aren’t some people casually sitting in their living room ‘testing’ a fabric print on demand’ idea.

ok but ive never heard of it, no one ik has heard of it. just because theyre successful doesnt mean no one else can and that theyve captured the entire market does it?
Thank you! This was super helpful to give me an idea of which direction to head to start using AI images.
Ow, you're using the bigjpg upscaler! Excellent!! ❤️
Please do a full video on making AI tumbler wraps. Love several of these ideas!
There are already tons of those videos explaining tumblers step by step on TH-cam
Alek, TY for putting together such a great video... clear and super informative... It's a new world brother... Will let you know how I make out!
Thank you so much for these valuable ideas. I am about to start a couple of the ideas that you mentioned on Etsy and learning how to use the prompts. This is very helpful.

Honestly ive been unsure about AI but now kinda want to give it a try. Thanks
Awesome! Thank you! I am getting really familiar with AI on ChatGPT and Midjourney. Inspirational ideas and processes! You're videos are very good!
You're a great teacher! Thanks for all this info!
Thankyou for this! I’ve been wanting to give up on my Etsy shop as I’m not getting sales! Ima try one of these out
I really enjoy your content. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing content, you have put a lot of work in all these videos, thank you
Thanks for this great video! This is a fabulous overview of making digital product fast on AI art programs like Mid-Journey and enough people are already doing it. These images can also be used on all kinds of POD. I am definitely looking into this.
Wow! My excitement is building! I want to run to my computer and design something ASAP! THANK YOU, ALEK!

Loving the videos, just subscribed, thank you!!
Thank you for sharing your blessings Alek.
Great vid my dude.
New sub😊
As someone who's played around in photoshop for the last 10 or so years, I'm going to try putting my own twist on these pet portraits
I hand make dog collars. There is a large amount of competition and most people get their fabrics from spoonflower. Also the start up costs are a lot especially if you’re hand making them. I wouldn’t expect to get rich fast and I would tell everyone to expect to be upside down your first year.
Also with Spoonflower you have to order your own designs in order for them to be sold to the public.. the test swatches are about $5 dollars each.
Loved the video!! Would like to know which white background remover you use as well as which product you use to upscale the images. Thank you!!
Your so awesome, so happy I found you!!!
Thnx Alex. Awesome video. Could you do a video on publishing books?
Hey Alek, I saw your subs 14k in Jan23 and now 223K. How come you made this possible ? Its really amazing 😜😜
Because his videos are so high quality and full of real information instead of BS! You can tell he puts in a lot of work to make it look professional.
@@CxMadeIt I am really interested to know which analytics service does he use. There is no doubt he is putting efforts to make video using multiple effects/animation effects and lot more.
wow Alek this are a lot of ideas you are the best Thank you!!
Hi Alex
I would like to see a video on how to make wallpaper and fabric designs. Thanjs
This is amazing, but do you know how this dog collar guy adds personalized tags on his collars? Because I don't see this option on Printify. Also, it looks like he sources them from somewhere else, because the quality is different - and better - from what I see on Printify. Any ideas? Thanks!
I'd love to see any hacks you have created for uploading products to Etsy shop etc. It's such a tedious and boring part of the process. Anything to make it easier would be much appreciated.
Hi Alek - does Etsy or Midjourney have a rule requiring users to indicate if an image was generated by AI like at 6:58?
Nah
I am curious if there is a ‘benefit’ to being that transparent…
Yea, just don't. It's art theft 🤷🏻♂️
Amazing Content! Thank you so much! With which Tool you get this Statistics of Shops?
Awesome tips, so helpful!! Thx
Hey Alek! Love the Videos. Do you have any insight on how important it is to have a single product type shop? As in just mugs. Is it viable to offer a variety of print on demand products?
I have a similar question, thanks for asking.
Me too!
Very interesting ideas! Appreciate the research you put into your recommendations! Thank you 🙏🏼 Would you mind sharing the upscale site you use?
Where or how do you find the time to do all this research and then produce such an information-dense and well crafted video? 🤯
Hello! I have a simple question. What is VAT, why is it required in etsy and printify and how can i get a VAT code?
Can you share some of the customer “complaints” you’ve received in Etsy and how you handle those. Especially if you use Printify to print and ship. I worry about someone claiming poor product, didn’t receive, etc. and how that works when using something like Printify.
Hey Alek! I'm pretty dog crazy and would love to create amazing dog collars; would you make a video on how to do this step by step? Thanks in advance!! Cheers.
what's the tool you used to review the shop product sales data ?
What website are you using to analyse these etsy shops and view their listings?
I've been considering a shop putting pets heads on fun bodies, I'd love to see a more complete video on that idea
Thanks for this very informative video tutorials, meantime, is this applicable in the Philippines?
Can you make a video tutorial about the (-) u put after the prompts and the different numbers and letters and what they do
I would love a full video on the AI Tumbler wraps.
What do you recommend for image upscaling ? Great videos !!!!
Hi. Nice video. What image upscaler do you use?
Yes I would like to know how can you scale this to a Shopify brand to one day become sellable.
Great video!
Are they just selling the pattern for the fabric and wallpaper or is there a company that prints and ships it??
I may have missed it, but what is the image enlarger you are using?
What program do you use to find out the figures for these shops? Thanks
But how do we sell collars like the ones you showed in the beginning, with the customization and super high quality and metal buckles and all that? I don’t think the Printify ones looked anything close to those.
You said in another video to focus on one product but you also say to list a lot to see what sells. I am considering selling multiple products with the same designs. Thoughts?

What was the image upscaler called?
Hello Alex, can you tell me what the Midjourney prompt aspect ratios are for the Printify candles and the patterns on fabrics & wallpapers?
Thank you!
Just subscribed, So if I understood well you can sell the print on etsy without the actual product? Is there a step by step how to do it please?

How did you come up with that exact number?

May I ask what is the light stand behind you in your video? I seen that in other videos as well.
wow! great i thank you for that
hello, congratulations for the video, you have given me great ideas.
I would like to know with which tool you see the number of purchases and earnings of a product, as you show in the video with the dog collars.😀

Is starting on Etsy and moving to Shopify the way to go?
What image upscaler do you use? is it free
Hi Alek, do you need to create separate accounts (email, printify, etc.) for each Etsy store? TY - Angela
What tool are you using to see which products in these Etsy shops are making the most money?
Hey Alek, I’m loving your content! I’m trying to use AI to create designs and sell with Printify. I created all my accounts and connected Etsy to Printify and I published my first item on Printify, but Etsy is saying the listing is unavailable. Any idea why?
