My advice is to stay focused and not get distracted by the next “great, money-making” product. Stay the course with your store and products. Otherwise, you end up with a store full of unrelated items.
Great video! One thing I would add is that you don’t have to use a credit card, a debit card also works. Just for the people who might feel they need to apply to get a credit card to do this. 😊
You are the first person I’ve watched who has shared some of the most important financial details I need to develop a print-on-demand business plan. Thank you!
Thanks for this - I am in the research phase at the moment, I am a graphic designer by trade so should be okay with that side of things, but it's just trying to figure out the best way to go to market which is the key thing.
Thank you for the info! Also printify offers pop up shop. Of you start with them you don't have to pay for them to design. They take care of the shipping and product development and you just receive your profit. So you won't need a credit card...but I've been having trouble setting it up
Thank you so much Mak for creating this incredibly informative video about Etsy! I am your new subscriber. As someone who has just opened their Etsy shop, I found your channel to be an invaluable resource. Your tips and advice for beginners like me are so clear and easy to follow. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into sharing your knowledge. It's channels like yours that make the Etsy journey less daunting for newcomers. Looking forward to watching more of your content. Thank you again!
THank you for a really genuine, simple to understand, informative video. This was really great to watch and listen to, and your information was basic but so necessary. Thanks again!
I love your videos! You motivated me to start with POD! Beautiful to see you are still so exited and love what you are doing, you shine and smile talking about it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Lots of love ❤
Thank you for sharing your valuable Info content and being honest! Good idea starting your community sharing inside POD and valuable experience! Glad I found you while searching on TH-cam! 😊
Great video! I'm thinking of just getting started but i have a few concerns on etsy. 1. Is it possible to link a website to an external site on etsy without getting banned? I'd like the option to scale beyond the platform on my own site and to just protect myself in case the store closes. 2. How do you figure out if a particular logo or word combination is trademarked? 3. Can you link multiple suppliers like printful and printify together 4. Is it better to have multiple stores with different niches or one for all
Can you put a clarity to the place you said that one will have to pay upfront prior to order or sales by using credit or debit card and you also said that no money will be deducted until orders are made. So how does this help process the order faster as against buyer having to pay for their orders and they take it up from there?
What about nature related photos like lightning pictures reason why I ask is because im considering starting an online store of my own that sells photography related stuff
What a great video! I love your take on marketplaces, so many “coaches” are against them, but honestly having to focus on marketing as well would make starting my shop so much harder….also if you’re ever out of video ideas, I’d love to hear how your business has changed your life!
Hi Mak, I'm setting up my Etsy shop and wondering if I should offer free shipping only in North America or go Worldwide? I'd like to offer free shipping but going Worldwide I'd have to charge for shipping? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Love all your tips! Thank you for all the great info for beginners like me. Quick question, when you talk about design, can”t I use Canva for the designing tool? Since they have a lot of options to choose from all I have to do is piece it together. Or is there some kind of legality issue behind using Canva?
Hi! Thank you:) According to Canva, you may use their graphics and fonts as a part of a design but you cannot resell them just as they are! It gets a bit confusing sometimes but you can use them! Just check over the rights on their website to be sure you understand:)
New subscriber here! Saw you on the HelloCustom Q&A video and loved your input! :) so hope to learn more from you about Print on Demand to hopefully earn a bit on the side.
I've been using placeit for over 3months and they suck. Most of their mockups are for t-shirts and wall art. If you're doing home deco which included bathroom, there's nothing here. It's a wasted subscription. They only have about 6 shower curtain mockups. I made a request to include nursery items, they said they couldn't because there was not a large enough demand for it. Am I supposed to believe that everyone is doing sweatshirts and t-shirts? They also have mug mockups which is ok but boring to be truthful. The most times consuming thing with them is that their images are always blurry and I have to run them through another program for clarity. They are not worth the cost.
I read that if you use Etsy printify shipping rates are automatically applied to product listings, is this correct? If not how do we set the shipping price for all different countries?
‼️MAC‼️‼️‼️‼️I need to know how to properly size my designed images for PRINT ON DEMAND! I never end up with high resolution. It always ends up blurry and LR!! Please help me!!
Hi! I don’t accept returns due to the custom nature of POD products. My policies are very well shown on my stores I’m located in the USA so this is allowed so be sure to check local laws
You can but they wont sell because 1) they dont look good on clothes, unless you are goot at photoshop then you can make it look good 2) copyright issues 3) people usually buy something that has cool design or a good message such as quotes , so its hard to sell something that is just a picture printed on tshirt
Thanks this is super helpful! (suggestion to you...stop the lip injections cause it is really distracting. you are gorgeous and the balance is off.... sorry i can't help but say this...i was a makeup artist w/ top photographers for many years and am also a portrait painter.)
See that’s why I don’t like the idea of e-commerce platforms! Everyone I talk to that have had thriving shops wish they hadn’t ever! If I take an order now I’m paid up front period!
My advice is to stay focused and not get distracted by the next “great, money-making” product. Stay the course with your store and products. Otherwise, you end up with a store full of unrelated items.
completely agree. Most of the successful print on demand shops try to keep their stores really focused on certain niches and types of products.
@@soon.tobemillionaireCan you suggest what type of nich is popular for POD?
a Coffee mug?
Great video! One thing I would add is that you don’t have to use a credit card, a debit card also works. Just for the people who might feel they need to apply to get a credit card to do this. 😊
You are the first person I’ve watched who has shared some of the most important financial details I need to develop a print-on-demand business plan. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I wouldn't be nervous to start your own paid community. You are a natural.
Thanks for this - I am in the research phase at the moment, I am a graphic designer by trade so should be okay with that side of things, but it's just trying to figure out the best way to go to market which is the key thing.
The first and most honest person I have seen ! thank goodness ❤❤❤
Dropped so many gems I would have paid for it! I had to subscribe to the channel!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

I would be very interested in one on one time with you as well as working with other peers to help with the community

I’m down for a community, would definitely be helpful!! Great video 💯
definitely would enjoy having an online community you create
absolutely incredible info! thank you so much
One one take is to try to find not-yet oversaturated products. It really changed the game for me
Thank you for sharing this valuable information. 🙏
Been open since January. Not 1 sale. I did a small stream on FB ads. Was going to run some this week. I have a shopify.
Want someone to review your products to see what might be the issue?
@rinagetsreal6189 yes if its free. I literally have $100 to my name.
how are you getting people to see your shopify other than the facebook ads? that’s what she said in the video
Yesss super interested in the community !
I appreciate you for sharing this, excellent!

Mak, just have people submit two questions when they sign up. You can handle it- you are doing an excellent job!
Thanks so much! Great suggestion
Hi Mak, I'm setting up my Etsy shop and wondering if I should offer free shipping only in North America or go Worldwide? I'd like to offer free shipping but going Worldwide I'd have to charge for shipping? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
what about if you want to start a print on demand shop but don’t really have a defined “brand” yet?
Thank you for providing these valuable tips and insights on POD.

Thank you, really helped me!
I didn’t know about the pay up front thing with print full! That information is like … no where!
very helpful, worth the watch
Thanks for the video. By the way, how do you get to know your clients? What do they like?
I’ve been undecided in which bank use for my business. I would like to know what is your insight.
Hi , I would be interested in the community however, I am doing POD on Shopify would this help with that as well or mainly for Etsy POD?
New subscriber here! Saw you on the HelloCustom Q&A video and loved your input! :) so hope to learn more from you about Print on Demand to hopefully earn a bit on the side.

You are AWESOME!!! TY
Do you have any courses or classes?
I would be interested in joining the community also
Yessss‼️ would love to join the community
Plz start the mentor group
Hey Mak, can you explain to me what you do with the returns
Hi! I don’t accept returns due to the custom nature of POD products. My policies are very well shown on my stores
I’m located in the USA so this is allowed so be sure to check local laws
Very helpful.. thank you
I just started an etsy store and I am expecting zero sales for the first six months... haha Why am I doing this??
Nooo not for the first 6 months.. you should have sales within a few weeks
thank you so much
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾
What is your shop?
Thank you
thank you i am interested in the mentorship community
Coming soon!
@@moneywithmak thank you, looking forward to mentorship
TY!!! AWESOME
Thank you💚
An online community would be great!!
thanks!! I’m hoping to start one soon:)
take me in as your Student!! Mak
Interested in the online community :)
What about selling things that have a taylor swift theme?
Nooo!! Copyright issue
Most of it is copyrighted but you can still do it without using any copyright elements
Does printify use organic cotton?
On some! If you click on the product and check the details they show all the info!
An accountability community sounds good. I'd even manage it for you.
LEARN
Can we use real life Photos to put on print on demand?
You can but they wont sell because
1) they dont look good on clothes, unless you are goot at photoshop then you can make it look good
2) copyright issues
3) people usually buy something that has cool design or a good message such as quotes , so its hard to sell something that is just a picture printed on tshirt
Do you start your Etsy by linking your printify?
Thank you for sharing ❤
❤❤
Wow, your guide is only 20$, not 500-5000k and you are not promising overnight success? You must be real then. Im not even joking...
Thanks this is super helpful! (suggestion to you...stop the lip injections cause it is really distracting. you are gorgeous and the balance is off.... sorry i can't help but say this...i was a makeup artist w/ top photographers for many years and am also a portrait painter.)
Suggestion for you.
Don't offer your opinion on someone's looks/style who you don't know and hasn't asked your opinion.
See that’s why I don’t like the idea of e-commerce platforms! Everyone I talk to that have had thriving shops wish they hadn’t ever! If I take an order now I’m paid up front period!
Thank you for this!
Am watching from South Africa🤩Thank you for the information
That’s awesome!! Thanks for watching 🥰
Meam Looking Sooo amazing
