Thank you so much 😀
Thank you❤💓
You're welcome 😊
very good Video
Thanks for the visit
Thanks for sharing. I would add to your list to know your niche/style before your start. If you already have a niche in mind, it makes it easy to create your design and target your audience. It is also a blueprint to inform you if you may need to niche down.
that's a great one... thanks for sharing
ty sir
You are welcome
I have taken notice of you. Thanks
Welcome!
Thnkuh so much sir for this beautiful and helpful video 💕💕💕💕 love from India 🙌🏻❤️
My pleasure
Noted boss…thanks
Welcome
thanks
Welcome
Yep, should have watched this first. 😏
It's ok the designing was good practice
Thanks for the comment
The perfect I'll be in my office is the bathroom lol it is witty and funny as hell.
Yeah... that is a good one
Great information .who those start POD. I'm really considering uploading sizes for variable products. Thanks for sharing this info. Juno sir 🙏.
Thank you so much for sharing this Video, Juno.
I would like to ask whether one size pixel on red bubble (5000 × 5000) can be applicable for many products? thanks
Glad it was helpful!
5000x5000 can work for many products but not all... There may not be a perfect one for all products.
@@DetourShirts Ok thank you so much Juno 🙏🙂
Can you create a video that lists all the print-on-demand sites available? I have been doing print-on-demand for years but still find new ones. Thank you for this video and all you do!
I could probably tell you 20 but that may not be all of them.... they are not all equal..... some of the smaller ones may not get you any sales
@@DetourShirts yes I know. You really have to see which ones work for you. I have always kept the attitude to do what I love and the extra money is just an added bonus when it comes.
Great tips. But I think the one thing that these POD sites have to do on their side is "disable right click" to stop those from stealing other artists work in the form of a saved image off their shop. Also better watermarks should make it harder to copy as well.
Good ideas. Yeah if they only showed the design on the product and not by itself that might help too.
@@DetourShirts that's right and if you can influence your connections, perhaps more trust would be gained. Also the date of the design can also indicate who the original artist is on that specific POD site.
Hello Juna, I'm brand new to your channel. I am very interested in starting. Are you allowed to upload the same teeshirt designs on different POD sites? I know Merch by Amazon you have to wait to get accepted, do you have to wait to get accepted on other sites? For a beginner what other sites do you recommend??
Yes you can! Your designs can be uploaded to different PODs at the same time. Amazon is really the only POD that I am on that I needed to wait to get accepted... there may be others out there though.
Second 😍
Nice... Thank you
Thanks Juna! Most people like myself, just jumped in.
Niche = neesh
Nitch doesn't exist. Americans mispronounce it & unfortunately it's caught on. Mostly youtubers to blame, I think :' D
I probably heard it from a TH-cam video to be honest... I try to say it both ways when I remember... 😂
I have a design question... Do you prefer to design via vector? Since you mostly design t-shirts you probably have a good idea of what size to design everything and could probably get away with raster, but surely you design with vectors so they're scalable, right? That being said, which program do you prefer? I sometimes work on the desktop and sometimes on the ipad. I'm having a bit of trouble finding a good vector app on the ipad that can do everything.
I prefer vector but I think that is a personal taste.... raster is so good now that it doesn't make that much of a difference
Hey Juna, Do you use anything for font management?
Not really... I just use the favorites on Affinity Designer for my favorite ones and Font Book on my Mac to upload them
🙏
Thank you
You didn’t mention about having a business license (for Etsy at least) and taxes in most state’s.
I think you can do it without a business license at least in the US... I think all you need is a PayPal account or Bank account... your SS number should be enough... Etsy might be different... Yes taxes... We need to save at least 30% for taxes in the US at least.
does your videos show you step by step (and I mean as far as how do to margin settings/connecting to shopify/settings for illustrations to be made for posters or tees/etc? i have seen on so many "training videos" that only give you basic info, but claim "step by step" and leave out important inf and won't reply with how to fix what went wrong by following their instructions. i am with redbubble, followed a step-by-step tutorial thinking that was all I needed, I then ordered my tee and it was terrible printing. i wasn't happy at all. i was very discouraged. then I happened to look at another video that someone did and they said to make sure your settings for the transfer on placeit (4500-5400) was these numbers. i ordered the same tee and it came back with what I expected! so.....i wanted to know if your videos covers the important things I need to know (why connect to shopify, how to connect to shopify (which I am able to order tees without shopify)/how to set or price margins and change that setting on redbubble/etc. I'm not expecting you to answer these questions from the youtube comments, but wanted to know what you videos cover (details or general info).
It really depends... I try to do step by steps for the subject in the video but not all of my videos are about the same things.... I'm not sure if I have a step by step of the whole process all the way through.
What's an average time for newly uploaded design to almost stop getting any views?
I don't know if there is a thing like that.... it really depends on how long a trend lasts or how popular the topic is.
What is the font name you are using in thumbnail
Veneer
hey I'm like the only one who uploads the design multiple times before finally push it.. is that any template too see how the design looks before uploading (MBA)
There isn't a good one.... I think you can download a Photoshop one from Merch by Amazon... would be nice to have a template in Affinity Designer though...Hmmm 🤔
@@DetourShirts ive tried but wont work properly on affinity
So on USPTI because Golden Hour is used I can’t make my t shirt with golden hour on it?
If it is trademarked for shirts... than no you can't.... if the trademark is dead you can.... if the trademark is for something other than shirts than you can use it for shirts
@@DetourShirts Thank you!
Its all a matter of taste. A design i would buy doesn't necessarily mean you would buy.
That's exactly right.... the market will decide.... but it's a good idea to give yourself the best chance of getting a sale by knowing what types of designs the audience you are designing for likes
For Merch by Amazon, do you think it's a good idea to create different shops for different niches?
Especially when you're just starting and are capped to 10 designs per shop
Yes, definitely.... any time is a good time... if the niches are different you can use the brand names to add more keywords
first
You get the trophy today... 🏆
Hey, Juna. I hope you reply. I'm a beginner in print on demand. i suffer a lot when designing T-shirts. I try to use Google Bard or m Microsoft Bing to come up with ideas to design and I use Kittl too as a design tool, but Kittl doesn't get me all what I need. The thing is sometimes I suffer when designing only one design. I feel like I'm stuck to move on and proceed. How to get over this easily and design 10 t-shirts or more easily?
Waiting for your reply.
Use my Design with Detour prompts and pick 10 or more
@@DetourShirts what is that? What is your design you mean? Is that a tutorial video? or a pack of designs should I pay for? I didn't clearly understand your comment. Would you guide me please for you mentioned where can I find it?
I created account Merch Amazon..
Account in review for 14 days...
But I not uploaded any desine...
What I do
Pls guide me
You can try other POD sites... RedBubble, TeePublic, etc.

Stupid question, what does BSR stand for ?🙂
BSR = Best Seller Rank.... every product that has sold on Amazon has one... the lower the number the better the sales
@@DetourShirts Thank you Juna, I really enjoy your videos.
Did you see a drop in your sales after putting your margin at 40% instead of 20%?
I didn't notice... but I had to guess...possibly less sales but about the same or more profit.
I am not good on research. ;(
It's something you can learn for sure
You are saying things but we can't see. Too small print. Need to zoom in on what we are talking about please
Yes... sorry in my newer videos I learned to zoom in
Isn't "Big Brother" going to run us into copyright problems?
If you use it by itself maybe... I would add more text with it
@@DetourShirts okay, I understand. Thank you for the quick response and all you're helpful videos.
I'm very new and I'm discovering almost every idea that I've had is infringement of some sort lol so I'm really just learning where the limits are so thanks!

Yes... #2 is very important
@@DetourShirts junna what about anime t-shirt and manga in redbubble

Your camera is focusing on your mic, not your face. It makes you look blurry.

Great question... I wonder that myself

I don't sell much on TeeSpring... I only have the account tied to my TH-cam channel

Yup... can't promise I will have a really good answer but I'll try
