Thanks Heather! I have been following you and putting your suggestions in place. Did a sample order from Monster Digital and Swift POD and quality and print were equal, but Swift POD got my products to me in 4 days! From order to mailbox arrival only 4 days! While MD took 8 days. Ordered the same day within 10 mins of each other and started with MD order first. Going to add Shine On and Teelaunch to my store soon.
Just a question...just say I used the two print companies associated with printify that you recommended, whats the go with postage if the customer happens to order from the two different companies , at the same time? Will we lose money on postage, at the end of the day, or how do make it so the customer gets a good postage deal, but we also dont lose more money than we should to postage? Thanks. I appreciated an honest, zero sponsored video, kudos!
Hi Heather thanks for this video :) Have you tried Gelato? Here in Canada I found Printify much more expensive than Gelato. Gelato production times have been excellent for me as well.
Thanks Heather. Great video. Which POD has the highest quality and most options when it comes to wall art frames? Also, have you worked at all LUMAPRINTS? They have nice frames.
How do i compete with people who sells clothes cheaper? POD is more on expensive side since you dont need to pay upfront. But idk if people would buy $20 for a shirt when theres a lot for $15 or less
Printify is good, but one thing I dont like is their shipping fee. For example my customer will order one t-shirt and pay 6 dollars for shipping, but once he order 2,3-4 t-shirts etc. Print provider will charge more for shipping...this is really bad. Somebody would buy 3 t-shirts and the shipping will costs 15?! dollars, even if this can be packed in the same package as just one shirt. You cant even offer free shipping for orders over 40$ or so....because of this method. On the other hand the shipping is really fast and quality is good.
Thanks for your information. Could you also provide insights on suppliers from China and Vietnam for merchandise production? I see they offer a wide range of products with affordable pricing but don't know how should I work with them.
Great information. As far as quality for simply prints? I am a photographer and that’s my priority. Efficiency is important, but if the quality is not there - the print is too dark for instance, then it’s not good. I’m starting a square space site this year.
Printify is very clunky. Just tried them out. You have to create listings for each fulfillment print providers .. also many do not offer back neck tag. It’s also expensive just as much as Printful.. plus Printful has a design space you can use to create typography for your graphic on the fly without a design software.
ok so I am a new kid on the block here and was wondering how i should set up shop? Should i set it up as Canadian my country or set it up as a US store along with the POD? And i am signing up for your course but wanted to know this first. Thanks for taking the time to make video's for us to learn.
If you are using Printify, maybe it's better to set it up as a US store in order to mostly sell to americans (it seems they only ship from the US). But if you are with Printful, you can register with being an european store, US or Canadian (it doesn't matter)...because they ship and produce from all this places.
Hi Heather! I am looking into process of switching my listings from Printful to Printify and I am finding it difficult. Is there an easy way to do it? Could you have a video on that?
I got 4 orders in about a week n half in with printful through etsy . all 4 fullfied in time. Ill keep working with them and start working with another and see differences
Hey Heather! Great video, I like your perspective. Have you heard of Awkward Styles? I hear a lot of good things about them and am currently considering them as providers
Hi! Thank you! What POD offers a gift box with their ornaments? I see people offer this as a option on Etsy but I can't find a company that offers this. Thank you for your help!!
@heathstudio I don't get how to chose multiple colors and put those colors on the mockups. Another words, you go into Printify and chose your print provider. Some have 10 colors others have 81 possibly. So now you have multiple colors to chose from and then you need to get the mockups in those colors onto the shirts. Well in Printify you get 4 or more mockups and the rest are plain jane flat tshirt mockups. I want to be able to put these colors on the mockups. This process seems to take forever. I would like to make 300 or 500 items but I cant take 5 years to do it. lol I feel like I am missing steps.
Dear Heather you are hands down the best on TH-cam. You are the Goddess of everything. It’s so pleasant to listen to you to look at and most of all your knowledge & honesty helped me a lot to figure out which company I should start working with because there are TOO MANY and with Printful I constantly was running into many issues couldn’t connect them with Etsy at all . Blessings over givers like you ❤
It was great fining this video. I have a podcast and I just need an easy place to sell merch like tees and hoodies. I don't want to have to manage the store. My designs will be simple. Would printify still be the best option?
Hi Heather, I was just wondering if you do reviews of peoples etsy shops? I am looking to get help with my shop to make sure everything looks good or if things need to be improved to attract more attention. Thanks
Yes, you can connect multiple! Just be weary that if a customer purchases multiple items and they are from multiple POD companies then you will run across getting charged shipping from each company.
I want to open a print on demand store but without ecommerce platform, in which print on demand platform can I upload my designs and set my custom domain that manufactures print in Brazil?
Hi Heather, I just sent you an e-mail about Brand collaboration. The E-mail title is "Insightfactory Collaboration". Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks Heather! I have been following you and putting your suggestions in place. Did a sample order from Monster Digital and Swift POD and quality and print were equal, but Swift POD got my products to me in 4 days! From order to mailbox arrival only 4 days! While MD took 8 days.

I have just started looking at ShineOn jewelry, would love to see more videos on that topic. Thanks as always
I'm new to my journey but I want to own my own business and I'm ready to learn 🎉 thank you for these honest reviews
You have helped me streamline my business further. Now I can let go of what partners don't work for me and bring on some hopefuls. Thank you!!
Thank you for mentioning us in this video, Heather, we appreciate it!
What are your credentials why should i follow you or advice on POD
Ahh thank you!! Your content is 🔥!! I’m getting closer to jumping in.
Printify is my number one POD as well... for products that feature my Landscape Photography etc.
Thank you for the information. I’m checking into Gelato since people are saying is the best, fastest delivery and it’s worldwide
what she doesnt tell you is that you need a printify membership to get those prices
Y’all complain to much just get the membership . Like dag . You have to spend money to make it
You can use printify for free the membership only give you discount on all you products
Which print on demand do you use?
Just a question...just say I used the two print companies associated with printify that you recommended, whats the go with postage if the customer happens to order from the two different companies , at the same time? Will we lose money on postage, at the end of the day, or how do make it so the customer gets a good postage deal, but we also dont lose more money than we should to postage? Thanks. I appreciated an honest, zero sponsored video, kudos!
Haha. Bloopers at the end were nice videomarketing move!
Hi Heather, what about the CustomCat for t-shirt.
Thank you
Thank you. Exactly the conformation I needed to leap forward. I am so excited.
Great overall! BTW, I want to focus on clothes niche, would you like suggest any POD suppliers?
Hi Heather thanks for this video :) Have you tried Gelato? Here in Canada I found Printify much more expensive than Gelato. Gelato production times have been excellent for me as well.
I’ve been looking at Gelato as well because I’m in Australia - glad to hear you’re loving it 🎉
Thanks Heather. Great video. Which POD has the highest quality and most options when it comes to wall art frames? Also, have you worked at all LUMAPRINTS? They have nice frames.
I love your videos, you have a knack for teaching
What pod provider has silk robes?
Thank You, Heather. would love to see more videos on ShineOn.
Great Vid! What do you think about Zazzle?
How do i compete with people who sells clothes cheaper? POD is more on expensive side since you dont need to pay upfront. But idk if people would buy $20 for a shirt when theres a lot for $15 or less
And i want to sell higher quality shirts
Printify is good, but one thing I dont like is their shipping fee. For example my customer will order one t-shirt and pay 6 dollars for shipping, but once he order 2,3-4 t-shirts etc. Print provider will charge more for shipping...this is really bad.

You cant even offer free shipping for orders over 40$ or so....because of this method. On the other hand the shipping is really fast and quality is good.
Can you have a store with multiple niches such as jewelry and shirts?
Great video. Nice to hear from others which POD providers they have had both good and bad experiences with. Very helpful to a newbie! 👍
When will the Blueprint be updated for 2023? I’m new to print on demand and excited to get started under your instruction!!
Yes the new one is from 2023 to 2024! :)
Thanks for your information. Could you also provide insights on suppliers from China and Vietnam for merchandise production? I see they offer a wide range of products with affordable pricing but don't know how should I work with them.
Why wasn’t Amazon mentioned. Do they not allow POD?
The actual content starts at 5 minutes into the video but great info overall!!
Great video and information as always!
Great information. As far as quality for simply prints? I am a photographer and that’s my priority. Efficiency is important, but if the quality is not there - the print is too dark for instance, then it’s not good. I’m starting a square space site this year.
Heather, do you know of any POD's that carry big & tall apparel?
Thanks for the great video. Can you recommend some good pod companies that do embroidery, specially on Tshirt sweatshirts etc please?
Can you Connect more than one POD store to your Etsy shop?
hey Heather.. is printique good for etsy?
just watching this video for you 😍

Heather thanks for sharing this informative video.
Hi Heather! I am looking into process of switching my listings from Printful to Printify and I am finding it difficult. Is there an easy way to do it? Could you have a video on that?
I agree! I just switched to Printify, and it was frustrating!!
Which POD company would you recommend for fastest shipping to the Middle East?
this was sooo helpful , thank you so much
With printify if your customer has an issue do they handle it or is that up to you to handle
I got 4 orders in about a week n half in with printful through etsy . all 4 fullfied in time. Ill keep working with them and start working with another and see differences
Thank you for providing this useful information! =)
Which POD had the best selection of tshirts? I am looking for a POD place that offers comfort colors.
awkward styles have a lot in their catalog, in their website
I was looking at Shein on the other day and I couldn’t see a way to integrate it into my Etsy shop. Anyone know how that works?
Hey Heather! Great video, I like your perspective. Have you heard of Awkward Styles? I hear a lot of good things about them and am currently considering them as providers
She mentioned it at 18:47
Did you try Awkward styles? If so, how are they?
Hi! Thank you! What POD offers a gift box with their ornaments? I see people offer this as a option on Etsy but I can't find a company that offers this. Thank you for your help!!
But what about Quality with Printify.
So many of these POD ink wears off after just ONE wash
Very disappointed that you dont have CC enabled.
Hello Heather, What software do you use for video editing and for screen captions?
This was awesome! thanks!
Heather, do u know of any POD companies who carry big & tall sizes?? 🙏 thx ahead of time
I highly recommend Merchize, they provide full sizes of products. Their time to ship is also quite short and the quality of the products is great.

Great, informative video. Thanks.
Printify had low quality products for me
Dear Heather you are hands down the best on TH-cam. You are the Goddess of everything.

Thanks for the helpful video!
How to you feel about printedmint?
I like them. They have free packaging options and inserts and unique products also
It was great fining this video. I have a podcast and I just need an easy place to sell merch like tees and hoodies. I don't want to have to manage the store. My designs will be simple. Would printify still be the best option?
Hi Heather, I was just wondering if you do reviews of peoples etsy shops? I am looking to get help with my shop to make sure everything looks good or if things need to be improved to attract more attention. Thanks
Can you connect multiple companies to your Etsy store to sell a variety of items from one Etsy store?
Yes, you can connect multiple! Just be weary that if a customer purchases multiple items and they are from multiple POD companies then you will run across getting charged shipping from each company.
Thank you so much Heather.
I want to open a print on demand store but without ecommerce platform, in which print on demand platform can I upload my designs and set my custom domain that manufactures print in Brazil?
I just Wish printful prices were as cheap as printify. Printful is so easy to use but soooo expensive.
Ohhh you are the best. I needed this info. Thank you.
Integration with youtube?
Subscribed 🎉
great info ... thanks
Do any POD platforms take suggestions? I have an idea but haven’t been able to find what I’m looking for on any sites.
ArtsCow and ThisNew do. Not sure about other POD companies.
Have you ever tried interest print?? If yes let me know and your thoughts please
I have used InteresetPrint. The quality of the bags are good. I will be ordering a pair of Women's Boots soon too test them out.
So helpful!
Printful is not the only one with branded packaging. You completely forgot about printed mint💀
Thank you!
Dios mio que bella eres! Gracias por tan buen contenido!
Hi Heather, I just sent you an e-mail about Brand collaboration. The E-mail title is "Insightfactory Collaboration". Looking forward to hearing from you.
Wow it’s like a drinking game. Every time she says print on demand company.

I can't not think that "way faster and cheaper" = workers are getting fucked
🔥🔥🔥🔥
