In Midjourney I also include "no shadow" on white background. Just sometimes helps with the cutout, depending on what program you use for thr mockups 😀
Super helpful as always Shimmy! You are awesome. I was just sitting here overwhelmed with thinking of changing up my mocks that had people and this made it easy and straightforward to get started. ❤
I really appreciate the quality of your videos. They've been incredibly helpful. I'm curious about one aspect though - it seems like you haven't demonstrated the process for creating 500 mockups. Am I right in thinking that? If so, I'm wondering if you're suggesting we manually replace 500 designs for 500 mockups, or if there's a more efficient method you teach in your course. Could you help me understand how you envision us approaching this task?
This might be a really silly question, but if someone visits your T-shirt page on your Shopify (or WooCommerce in my case) store and sees that all of the T-shirts have the same mockup, is that weird? Is it necessary to have a different flat lay mockup for each design, or am I overthinking this? If they are all exactly the same then the customer might get suspicious that it's not the actual T-shirt in the photo. Really appreciate your hard work on these videos. You give fantastic information!
Awesome video. Thanks so much. You said you'd explain why you wouldn't recommend model mockups, but I think you forgot :) is it because flat lay can better represent unisex T-shirts? Also, Canvas 3001 seems to be most widely used type for POD. Can you share why you prefer Gildan 64000?
Thanks for this video Shimmy, very helpful as always. We use custom/branded inside labels with Printify, and I'm keen to know how you would deal with the visible label/tag on the mockup example used in this video (I've searched for mockups without the label for the 64000 but can't find any of similar quality)? Would you explain the label situation in the product description, perhaps, or just not worry about it... or something else? 🙏
Shimmy, would these principles apply when selling wall art online, too? I always would put a close-up of the art as my first image, but what about the other slots? Would images of room styles that match the art style be a good idea? What is your opinion?
That's exactly what I used to do exactly just like that I used to love it cause it really was that easy and fast for me but I changed up and used model based mockups. I did get my first organic sale but I still preferred flat lays it's looks better in my opinion this is where pod always gets confusing
Wow. That snap bit was something i didnt know about. Thanks. Using Midjourney is a great idea. I dint think the images you used looked like they were on the product but i get where you are going. Something to playvwith until we get a few to use over and over.
Hi there! I followed your example step-by-step and everything goes well until I had to replace the shirt with different colors. They don't quite fit like the original one and require to be adjusted with each new shirt color. Any ideas on why this is happening? Thank you and appreciate your channel!
Could somebody KINDLY explain how Shimmy is able to grab a different color tee and just drop it into the design he's working on? I've been trying to do this for hours with ZERO luck, and I consider myself to be fairly adept on the computer. I purchased a mockup from Etsy which came with four separate pages, got those pages into a folder, but for the life of me I absolutely cannot simply grab a different colored tee and just drop it into my design and have it auto resize in the correct spot like on the video. I have to copy/duplicate the colored tee I want from the color sample page, drop it into my design, then start trying to resize it. Definitely not as simple as it looks on the video so I know I must be doing something wrong. Any help would be much appreciated!
thank you for the great video! Just found you today and new to POD (inspired by Greg lol), but need to learn a lot more. I found this of utmost interest to me because I have wasted so much time trying to find mockups I like and just using a hanging shirt from printify at the moment. I personally cannot stand all the mockup photos being woke genz'ers, especially since they would never buy any of my designs. I will be watching your other videos for your great insights, since I desperately need them now that I've been accepted to Amazon merch, but not sure what to put on there lol. Thank you for the great info!
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial - super helpful! I signed up for the free community but I'm still waiting for the approval. When do you think you'll review requests?
Okay, so I got approved for a POD account with Amazon Merch no problem, less than a week. I created a bunch of designs using Canva (my own ideas and designs, no one else's) and uploaded my first design and it was immediately rejected. I was careful with my wording, followed all the do's and don'ts they list out.....any ideas? I did put my own logo on the back, because it was my design...do you think that's what did it? I've reached out to them to ask for more details and have since removed the logo to see if that was the issue. Thoughts?
Did you ever figure this out? I've been at this for days and STILL can't do it. Seems he's the only one with this magical ability, can't even get help from Canva!
Hi Shimmy!! very nice info thanksss but i have a quesiton about the gildan 6400. I cnanot find the pink color on printify, how do you get the gildan 6400 in Pink? this is the reason I diverted into Gildan 5000 but I still wanted the 6400
shimmy why do you prefer buying those mockups instead of using canva mockups? They have some pretty good ones and have a huge variety tbh. I always find myself going for them instead of buying. I just wanted to know if i have pro of canva would you still recommend buying them or just using canva ones?
@@Anastasia._.1102 mainly because I want to guarantee that they are the Gildan 64000 mock-ups in the official colours. And for less than $7 i don’t think it’s such a big deal
@@shimmymorris1 ohh. Would you still recommend them if i had an access to canva pro? P.S haha i know it's not a big deal but currencies varies and i can survive three to four days with 7 dollars here so yeah that's why i was asking if it was worth starving myself lol
@@shimmymorris1 lmao you kept mistaking something 😭 I'm not doing pod for some quick cash lol I'm free and have lots of time on my hand without any responsibility so i just wanna make use of it and expand my knowledge and polish my skills even if it doesn't benefit me in the end lol and no i literally won't starve myself it's just another way of saying that's kinda expensive for me though i get quite a decent pocket money but I'm the saving kid so yeah 🗿
Hey Shimmy , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
There’s obviously no magic formula with mock-up strategies. Different types of mock-ups might work better or worse for different types of stores. You’ll notice that Shimmy was criticizing the “crazy dog lady” shirt mock-up but that shop has over 23,000 sales. What do we make of this? I think it boils down to using some common sense (everything in this video is good advice) and testing out different methods for your own shop and see what works.
that is true, and this shirt has 15 sales in the last year. she has many different mockups in her store but there will always be anomalies. It's not an exact science for every single tshirt ever listed... i'm only talking about the majority.
Is anyone else not sure how to make the image snap into place like that on Canva? He didn’t really give too much detail on that. Otherwise loved the video.

One of the best POD related videos I watched! Super helpful and practical. Thank you!
thanks you so much!
Thank you Shimmy! I made my very first mock-up today with your help. I appreciate you being a mentor to the community.
That’s awesome!!! Nice one!!
Get this man to 100k!!!
Super helpful as always Shimmy! You are awesome. I was just sitting here overwhelmed with thinking of changing up my mocks that had people and this made it easy and straightforward to get started. ❤
niceee!!! so happy. You've got this!
Really helpful video, Shimmy!! I would love to use this mockup template! Thank you so much!
Hey Shimmy, been watching your videos for an awhile now, but you just earned my subscribe 🎉 Keep doing stuff like this! Thank you!

It seems to me that he mocked up one in 5 min and then he just reuses same mockup for 500 more but for sure would take a lot more time to do 500.
So I use to love using models but lately I have been loving flat lay with the tshirt. You can see the design better.
Why not do both?
Awesome tutorial! Thank you Shimmy! You are my best POD teacher! I wish you 100k soon! Unfortunately can’t subscribe couple more times 😅
haha thank you so so much!! really appreciate that support!
Shimmy this is SO SO helpful! and such a time saver! thank you

I’m about to redesign my mock-up right now, because one of my listings has not been picking up at all. I think this may be the issue, thank you! 🙏🏽
Cool tutorial but the title is a little misleading. I was expecting some kind of automation done to create 500 mockups in 5 minutes.

I posted a question about whether we should make close-up mockups or model mockups, it's a great tutorial
How do you know the design on the mochup will match the same location as the actual printed shirt?

The reason cited was "illegal or infringing content" but nothing I used was illegal, trademarked, copywrighted, or otherwise belongs to anyone else.
How did you get the t shirt to snap to the existing t shirt I've been having issues with that
Did you ever figure this out? I've been at this for days and STILL can't do it. Seems he's the only one with this magical ability, can't even get help from Canva!
So the sizes of the accessories are not realistic
When putting the grunge effects on the graphics, how to make the grunge elements transparent so the shirt colors can be seen as well?
So far Canva doesn't have that option, but you can do it it Adobe Illustrator or similar. It's a transparent mask.

i'm not sure why you can't see it... maybe reach out to printify
The more research I do the more confused I get. Some POD experts say to always use a model, others say not to. I'll need to test both ways. 🙂
Fully agree with you ❤
Agreed
Test test test! 💪🏼👍🏼
Are you getting sales? I'm not getting any sales

What about for sweaters and hoodies?
How to use this mockups to your products on printify?
Shimmy, have you tried Recraft Ai-generated mockups?
do you have a mentorship program
I have a paid community that's as close to mentoring that you'll find :D
Isn't it bannable to not use mockups which Printify gives you because it's 'inaccurate' for Etsy?
Nope. Mockups can be made to look pretty accurate...and the Printify mockups are ugly lol.
Maybe I do have a large head, but the helmet looks kinda small in comparison to the shirt. For the rest, good video!
awesome
