Absolutely love your video. I have been thinking about personalized blankets for a long time but did not know where to start. My question is, when you create the Etsy Listing, what do you say when it asks you Who made it? Do you put I did or Another company or person?
Hi! Thank you so much for watching! I have a print on demand tutorial that goes over that process step by step. 😊 You can watch that one here: th-cam.com/video/O9mDJNU0dk4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you sooooooo much ! Clears the muddy waters. How would I upload say 4 different colors of my product, which I have changed colors before uploading please ?
Hi! Thank you so much for watching! You would want to create 4 designs and then upload the designs to 4 products separately (one for each color) 😊 Printify doesn't yet allow us to change colors within the product itself on blankets, the base color will always be white. 🥰
Great video Jess! Because the customized blanket order process is manual, do you get tied up on your computer for hours on end processing custom orders during heavy activity such as quarter 4? I ask, because if one does not have the capacity to keep up with the manual custom orders, it could actually hurt their shop as they fall behind. This would especially apply to shop owners who still have a full time job. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Hi! The best way to offer colors is to create a color chart with Canva (or whatever design program you prefer), then use the Variations tool in the Etsy listing to let the customer choose the color. You would then just change the background color when you change the name/personalization for each order. 😊 Hopefully this helps! Thank you so much for watching my video! 🥰
I have watched your video a few times.. it was the easiest to understand. I now have my listing up on my etsy shop and i just processed an order.. yay... my question is in PRintify how do i get rid of the original order ? I have done the manual order with the correct name on it but it shows the original requires action... how do i get rid of that without it causing a problem for my manual order.
I'm so glad you found my video helpful! :) When you say the original order, are you talking about in Printify or in Etsy? If you created a manual order in Printify, there should be one (original) order in your Etsy shop dashboard, and one in Printify. If you have more than one order in your Printify dashboard for this particular Etsy order, I would cancel that extra order asap. THEN go make sure you don't have printify set up to automatically fulfil those orders, since they are personalized. I have a full step-by-step tutorial for setting up automatic Printify orders that might help explain this a bit better. You can find that video here: th-cam.com/video/O9mDJNU0dk4/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps! 🥰
Thank you, the logistics of how to make personalizing work was holding me back. I still need to ask - if you get 200 orders all of a sudden (I know this is not practical for startup but say for this successful seller for instance), you personally have to sit and do all of these orders one by one? Or say if you are on vacation and a bunch of orders come in, you are "on call" for work huh? :D
Thanks for releasing this video! You had told me you were going to release this today and you did. 😊 I really get so much value from your content. Have a wonderful day!
Aww I'm so glad you were able to watch it today! Thank you! 😊 I have to make/edit/post my videos on a schedule because my health limits my work hours, so the upside is that I usually know in a couple weeks in advance when my videos will post. 😅 I am really glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate your comment so much! 🥰
Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial! You make it look so easy. Question! When customizing the color on canva, do you name the color and make a color chart to list on Etsy as shown from the shop you based this video off of?
Help! I love your videos. I'm trying to list a blanket (not personalized). How can I let the customer pick the color? It doesn't give them a choice! Thanks,
Hi! Great question! 😊 To do this you will want to create a color chart image, and then in the Etsy listing, go down to the Variations section and add a variation for the color choices. 😊 Here's a great Etsy article to walk you through the process: www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015664047-How-to-Add-Variations-for-Your-Listings%23:~:text%3DScroll%2520down%2520to%2520the%2520Variations,Click%2520Save.&ved=2ahUKEwjKmYPd9tWDAxX1UqQEHXYsANAQFnoECA0QBQ&usg=AOvVaw0t5FP5nkYgFVVTG8NO9k0u
Informative video. Is there a way(using an app, maybe) to automate the entire process. ie; the name gets automatically changed and printify gets it for fulfillment. Thanks Jess
Hi! Thank you so much for watching! There are a few apps that can automate the personalization, but I've found that problems can arise when customers don't input the names in a specific format (or they add notes into the box) so it's often easier just to manually personalize with a templated design. 🥰
That's a great idea, thanks! I do have a tutorial coming up about syncing your Etsy to Printify but it doesn't really cover the design part, so I will add that to my list! 🥰
Thank you for this very informative video. I am a new subscriber, TH-cam recommended your video :) I was wondering if these blankets can also be made with seamless pattern prints. Does Etsy have an issue with those? Are they considered "handmade?" Again thank you for your concise and informative videos!
Hi! Thank you so much for watching and for subscribing! 🥰 In terms of seamless patterns, if you're creating the patterns then it is still considered 'handmade' because you're still the designer. Hopefully this helps!
That is a great question! I think if it were me, I would try to work with the mockups from printify and Placeit, and if I could find and purchase a white (blank) blanket of the same fabric and size, use Photoshop to create my own mockups as well. 😊
Aww thanks! 😊 Yes, I hide discount codes for 40% off in all the videos I've posted since October. My most recent one will probably be the easiest to find 🥰
Hello Jess, great video! I created my blanket template and saved it in DRAFT in Printify. Now, I have to go into Etsy and create a listing for it. Do I have to add the Printify Sku number in the Etsy listing? Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching! 😊 If you're creating personalized blankets, then no, you don't need to add anything from printify to the Etsy listing. You will be creating the Printify orders manually because they will have the customer's name of choice on the design. 🥰
Thank you for this! I was literally searching for a video to do this! How do they do the color blocks to show the customer their color choices? Did they just pick colors in Canva?
Hi! 🥰 Yes you can decide ahead of time what colors to offer and then use those colors in Canva for your background. You can also use Canva to create a little color chart for the listing images to show customers which colors they can choose. 😊 Thank you so much for watching this and taking the time to comment! 🥰
Thanks for this video. I'd like to make some. That's a lot of variations of fonts and colors. Does that lead to buyer indecision? What do you think is the minimum amount of colors and fonts you can offer?
Hi, I just purchased your ultimate insight tools but I gave me a message that the product is no longer available and that you are working on a newer version. Will I be getting it when you have it? My card was charged since I paid for it. Thanks for your great content!
Hi! Thank you so very much! 🥰 The workbook resource page should have a link to sign up for the waiting list, and be free until the new version launches- can you email me at support@insightbyjess.com with the email address you used on the resource page when you checked out? I can look into it for you asap 🥰
Love this tutorial. If I am honest though, I feel sorry for this shop's listing quality score with so many of us going over to look at it. Their conversion rate is going to suffer now. If they have ads running, I hope no one clicks on them or that is going to cost them a lot too. Might be a good idea to blur out the shop's name going forward, just a suggestion.
Oh wow that's a great suggestion, thanks! It feels sneaky to blank out the names because I want to be transparent, but as this channel grows this is going to be a concern so I think you're right and I'm going to blank them out going forward! ❤️ The good news is that Etsy has a pretty smart algorithm so it will detect the sudden jump in traffic as an anomaly and it shouldn't affect them long term. But it will give competitors a temporary advantage and potentially cost them for ad clicks, so best to blank the names out going forward. Thank you so much for bringing this up, different perspectives are what help things grow and improve! 🥰
I thought of this too (blanking the store names) cuz it’s causing them with now thousands of people trying to copy what they’ve posted (the particular store)… when I searched for their store, it isn’t operating anymore. Must be a name change?
I had a quick question in regard to shipping from printify. Since you are manually inputting the order and your Etsy shop is not connected, would you have to pay out of your own pocket for the printify shipping? And then once the customer receives their product, Etsy releases the money and you would essentially be paid back and receive the extra money you made from the sale? I’m a little confused on that part.
Hi! That's a great question! Typically when you sell on printify, you have to pay for the orders. It doesn't come from your Etsy account, even if you have the two platforms connected. Once your deposit comes through from Etsy, you are reimbursed for the cost of the order + the profit. 😊
Hi! What a great question! 🤩 Yes, you can rank, but if course you will rank below this top seller bit with a strategic SEO and pricing plan you can definitely get sales built up (and maybe even grow to similar sales or better as this seller over time!) 😊 I do have my Etsy Seller Success Workbook 2.0 coming out soon which helps with both pricing and SEO, if you want to join the waiting list I'll put the link below: bit.ly/ESSWB2 Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🥰
Hi amazing informational video I really needed to understand this. Question on canva when you said to nudge the names so they aren’t alike aligned how do you do that exactly
Hi! I'm so glad you found my video to be useful! 🥰 Thank you for watching! When you are in Canva, you can put each name in a separate text box, and then move the boxes so they look staggered on the page or however you want them to look. You can see how I did it at approx. 16:46 in the video. 😊 Thank you so much!!
Hi! For sales revenue of this size, you would definitely want to set up a legally registered business. LLC is the most common form for Etsy business owners, but you can learn more about other business types and requirements to find the best fit for you 😊
Hi! You would want to set up different listing variations. Etsy gives you two 'sets' if variations, so you could use one for color, and one for size, then have the customer type in the font choice and name in the personalization box. 😊 If you look at a few similar Etsy listings, you can see some great examples of how other sellers set up their listings also. 🥰
@deborahgallello7062 oh Ebay is great, you can have up to five variations, so you can do one for size, one for color, one for font and then have them write the name or message you the name, if you prefer. Here's a tutorial article on how to set up variations for ebay, but it has to be a fixed price listing. You can't do variations on auction style listings. 😊 www.ebay.com/help/selling/listings/creating-managing-listings/multiquantity-listings-listings-variations?id=4150
Hi! I think when they rolled out the lasted ai features they put a limit on file sizes. 🥴 One way to work around this, if you have Canva pro, is to enlarge the file size when you download it, it's in the options after you click SHARE, then DOWNLOAD, then slide the toggle under size to make it bigger. 😊 Hope this helps! 🥰
Hello! Great useful video! Question - I also plan to sell personalized blankets with a name. Will Etsy consider this as plagiarism and will the store be banned?
Hi! If you directly copy another seller, that is considered plagiarism. But if you add elements to make your shop and items unique, it's totally fine! Just be creative and add your own sense of style. 😊 Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
Sorry if my question is silly, Why did you use different measurements on canva, at minute 14:33, when Printify shows 7825 x 9325px? you edited video and use 3125 x 3724px
Hi! I think when they rolled out the latest ai features they put a limit on file sizes. 🥴 One way to work around this, if you have Canva pro, is to enlarge the file size when you download it, it's in the options after you click SHARE, then DOWNLOAD, then slide the toggle under size to make it bigger. 😊 Other viewers just used 3125 x 3734 and it worked great for them. Hopefully this helps! 🥰
@@InsightsByJess thank you so much for taking the time and responding to me. Yes I have Canva pro and I will try that and come back here to share with you.

I would probably just use an emoji heart with your keyboard. 😊 You can Google 'heart emoji' and then copy and paste it in between the names. There are different color heart emojis, including black and white ones like this 🖤🤍
i'm doing this right now and came across a problem. The size 7825 × 9325 px of the blanket doesn't fit in canva. It says the maximum is 3194px. What do I have to do?

Yes, you can upload pictures either into the Canva design or directly to Printify when you create the product. The higher quality the photo is, the better it will look when printed, but photos can often look beautiful on blankets. 🥰

Why would you not add the custom name in Printify’s text editor and then use the pattern maker to make a staggered repeat? It seems like it would be less time consuming to edit the design for each new order.
I just tested it and it has to be a png graphic. I typed the name in Canva and downloaded it as a png with no background. Then I uploaded it to my library and inserted the graphic to my chosen blanket in products. This gave me lots of options to edit the graphic. On the far left toward the bottom you will see the pattern maker. You can adjust the sliders for various repeats. 😊
I use Canva Pro. It won't let me put in those dimensions. I used the largest size that it will allow, then when uploading to Printify, I get the alert that "something went wrong" no matter how small I make it. Any one else have this problem? I didn't make the PNG version transparent, since I'm putting a color in the background. Not sure how you managed to create a design that size in your tutorial.
Hi! I think that Canva has put the larger dimensions behind their premium features paywall 😔 You can just reduce the dimensions, and since you have premium Canva, when you go to download the design, use the little size slider (there's a crown by it, it's slightly above the download button after you choose the file type) to make the image bigger. 😊 Please let me know if that doesn't work! 🥰
Hello, I just started the design on Canva, but however, Canva does not allow that big of a dimension of 7828x9325? What dimension did you actually used?

Hi! 🥰 Do you have the free or pro version of Canva? If you have the free version, you can just use the biggest dimensions and download as a PNG. Just make sure that when you add the design to Printify, it tells you that the image quality is good. 🥰 If you have a pro version, you can use the little size bar (on the download screen) to slide the dimensions bigger. 😊 Hope this helps! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
I’m sorry but this is kinda confusing to me how will I get an order if I don’t publish it on Etsy as a listing and just save it as a draft on printify???
Hi! You want to publish the Etsy listing, that way you can get orders. The Printify listing (in the Printify dashboard) can be a draft, or you can set it to manually process orders, since they are personalized. 😊 I hope this makes more sense! 🥰
Too bad Shopify, Etsy, and Printify cannot be used from the island of Curacao. The companies that handle the credit card payments and/or PayPal accounts do not recognize these areas and give no service there. I feel extremely sad and hurt
Oh no, I'm so sorry! That is very disappointing. I know Etsy recently stated that they're working to expand their selling platforms to more countries, so hopefully you'll be on the list soon! 🤞
Hi! Thanks so much for watching! 😊 What data are you asking about? Do you mean the customer orders? If so, then when you start getting orders, you'll see them listed in your Etsy seller dashboard. You can go down your list of customer orders and see the name and color choices on each order in the list. Hopefully this helps! 🥰
Hi! Do you have the free or the pro version of Canva? With the new file size limitations, you need to use the file size toggle to make it bigger when downloading. 😊

You can see how I did it at approx. 16:46 in the video. 😊 Thank you so much!!
Do you need to setup an LLC or some kind of tax account?
Hi! For sales revenue of this size, you would definitely want to set up a legally registered business. LLC is the most common form for Etsy business owners, but you can learn more about other business types and requirements to find the best fit for you 😊
How do you sell multiple blankets and colors and sizes and fonts in one listing
Hi! You would want to set up different listing variations. Etsy gives you two 'sets' if variations, so you could use one for color, and one for size, then have the customer type in the font choice and name in the personalization box. 😊 If you look at a few similar Etsy listings, you can see some great examples of how other sellers set up their listings also. 🥰
@@InsightsByJess but I have an eBay store. I can do variations but different fonts, styles and colors I don’t know how.
@deborahgallello7062 oh Ebay is great, you can have up to five variations, so you can do one for size, one for color, one for font and then have them write the name or message you the name, if you prefer.
Here's a tutorial article on how to set up variations for ebay, but it has to be a fixed price listing. You can't do variations on auction style listings. 😊

Thank you Jess! I will read it. So glad you know all about this stuff.
Hey so the print size recommendation on printify didnt work when i put it in canva so what size did u use on canva ?
Hi! I think when they rolled out the lasted ai features they put a limit on file sizes. 🥴 One way to work around this, if you have Canva pro, is to enlarge the file size when you download it, it's in the options after you click SHARE, then DOWNLOAD, then slide the toggle under size to make it bigger. 😊
Hope this helps! 🥰
I put in 3125px X 3734px and it worked.
That's very helpful! Thank you! 😊
Hello! Great useful video!
Question - I also plan to sell personalized blankets with a name. Will Etsy consider this as plagiarism and will the store be banned?
Hi! If you directly copy another seller, that is considered plagiarism. But if you add elements to make your shop and items unique, it's totally fine! Just be creative and add your own sense of style. 😊
Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
Sorry if my question is silly, Why did you use different measurements on canva, at minute 14:33, when Printify shows 7825 x 9325px? you edited video and use 3125 x 3724px

Other viewers just used 3125 x 3734 and it worked great for them. Hopefully this helps! 🥰
@@InsightsByJess thank you so much for taking the time and responding to me. Yes I have Canva pro and I will try that and come back here to share with you.
Hello :) Canva would not let me type 7825 x 9375 dimensions. It said it had to be less than 3194 px. How did you get around that?

Thank you so much! I will try that! I am very new at this. Do you know how to enter a small heart or other object after the names on the blanket?
I would probably just use an emoji heart with your keyboard. 😊 You can Google 'heart emoji' and then copy and paste it in between the names. There are different color heart emojis, including black and white ones like this 🖤🤍
It worked! Thank you so much! ♥
i'm doing this right now and came across a problem. The size 7825 × 9325 px of the blanket doesn't fit in canva. It says the maximum is 3194px. What do I have to do?

Canva doesn’t let me type in: 7825 x 9325px as the size. (It’s too big) how do you solve that?

What if you just want to put one of your pictures on the blanket with zero words that the picture I have created I’m at the photographer
Yes, you can upload pictures either into the Canva design or directly to Printify when you create the product. The higher quality the photo is, the better it will look when printed, but photos can often look beautiful on blankets. 🥰
My Canva Pro say's it doesn't allow that big of dimensions I'm confused!

@@InsightsByJess Thank you so much for replying🥰🥰 I'll do that!!🥰🥰
Why would you not add the custom name in Printify’s text editor and then use the pattern maker to make a staggered repeat? It seems like it would be less time consuming to edit the design for each new order.
Hi! I didn't see any sort of pattern maker on Printify, can you tell me where to find this? It sounds like a great option! 🤩 Thank you so much!
I just tested it and it has to be a png graphic. I typed the name in Canva and downloaded it as a png with no background. Then I uploaded it to my library and inserted the graphic to my chosen blanket in products. This gave me lots of options to edit the graphic. On the far left toward the bottom you will see the pattern maker. You can adjust the sliders for various repeats. 😊
That's awesome thank you!! That will definitely save some time with the design creation! 🤩🤩
I use Canva Pro. It won't let me put in those dimensions. I used the largest size that it will allow, then when uploading to Printify, I get the alert that "something went wrong" no matter how small I make it. Any one else have this problem? I didn't make the PNG version transparent, since I'm putting a color in the background. Not sure how you managed to create a design that size in your tutorial.
Hi! I think that Canva has put the larger dimensions behind their premium features paywall 😔
You can just reduce the dimensions, and since you have premium Canva, when you go to download the design, use the little size slider (there's a crown by it, it's slightly above the download button after you choose the file type) to make the image bigger. 😊
Please let me know if that doesn't work! 🥰
Hello, I just started the design on Canva, but however, Canva does not allow that big of a dimension of 7828x9325? What dimension did you actually used?

Canva will not let me put those specific dimensions in...
Hi! 🥰 Do you have the free or pro version of Canva?
If you have the free version, you can just use the biggest dimensions and download as a PNG. Just make sure that when you add the design to Printify, it tells you that the image quality is good. 🥰
If you have a pro version, you can use the little size bar (on the download screen) to slide the dimensions bigger. 😊
Hope this helps! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
@@InsightsByJess I have the Pro version. I will try this~ thank you!
I’m sorry but this is kinda confusing to me how will I get an order if I don’t publish it on Etsy as a listing and just save it as a draft on printify???
Hi! You want to publish the Etsy listing, that way you can get orders. The Printify listing (in the Printify dashboard) can be a draft, or you can set it to manually process orders, since they are personalized. 😊
I hope this makes more sense! 🥰
Too bad Shopify, Etsy, and Printify cannot be used from the island of Curacao. The companies that handle the credit card payments and/or PayPal accounts do not recognize these areas and give no service there. I feel extremely sad and hurt
Oh no, I'm so sorry! That is very disappointing. I know Etsy recently stated that they're working to expand their selling platforms to more countries, so hopefully you'll be on the list soon! 🤞
I dont understand how you match the order and data wirh your order...sorry
Hi! Thanks so much for watching! 😊 What data are you asking about?
Do you mean the customer orders? If so, then when you start getting orders, you'll see them listed in your Etsy seller dashboard.
You can go down your list of customer orders and see the name and color choices on each order in the list.
Hopefully this helps! 🥰
SO FRUSTATING! I watched the video twice and this is incorrect. DPI comes much lower 119 DPI
Hi! Do you have the free or the pro version of Canva? With the new file size limitations, you need to use the file size toggle to make it bigger when downloading. 😊
@@InsightsByJess hi 🙂. I do have Canva pro. I will try your directions and see what happens. Thank you
