I started this channel in January of 2021 to share my knowledge of selling digital downloads on Etsy, or any other platform, as well as my experience with Print on demand. I do my best to bring you the most relevant content about selling print on demand and printables, creating interesting print on demand designs, testing myself print on demand products and their quality, as well as provide you with marketing tutorials, and so much more! I recommend many services and websites in my videos, some may contain affiliate links- which means that you can have a discounted price, or the same price, while I earn a bit of a commission for the referral- to help support this channel and the costs of producing the videos.

So excited to make larger files on clip studio so I can make wrapping paper and puzzles. Thanks for going through all the products on Society6
You are so welcome! and hopefully you'll order some of your own puzzles. srsly- my heart light up from their quality
I am grateful for people like you who selflessly share your knowledge that others may benefit I have just started Procreate surface pattern designing learnt everything on you tube. I just need to be brave to explore other pod sites
Wow, I just found your channel a few weeks and am addicted to your channel! I have been using Canva for a few years and find that I probably have been utilizing maybe 1 % of the features. I am amazed at the quality of your videos and the extraordinary information in each individual video! Thank you for dedicating your time and effort to educating a novice designer who is willing to learn!
Really starting to work on my zazzle shop this year learning the platform, and also use s6 later down the line 😊
I am the reverse... Starting now with Zazzle, mostly with their puzzles!
BTW, i made a review of the quality of their puzzles (zazzle) and it will be on tomorrow :)

Hi, Mey! Thank you for all your videos.
Glad you like them!
Another amazing video! I'm fixin to get started on Society 6 now. Been hesitating for a bit, but now i feel comfortable. Thanx again for sharing your talent! 😍
Sorry for the late reply, been a couple of hectic weeks... though maybe it's the best timing to ask you- have you started on S6? what kind of art style are you thinking of uploading there? and how are you finding their large sizes for you ?
@@MeyTribe Well yes I went and signed up on S6 then started thinking up some Valentine stuff to start with. Then my back fusion surgery got bumped up a bit so Im recovering from that from a week ago. But ive had a couple of funked up anesthesia brain storms on a puzzle idea that I'd LOVE to get your thoughts on soon. 😁🍺🍕
PS: Good luck with your Miss Jigsaw brand and all what you do, you deserve all the success in the world
Thanks :)
I feel like the more I dive into designing my own puzzles, and making puzzles, the more I change my mind about the making of that website with the online jigsaw puzzle option, maybe just make it a blog of puzzles I am making. or ones I affiliate.
Mey, I am delighted to have found your channel. The first video I viewed was a tutorial on how to create fonts and I liked your style so much that I wanted to see more. I am now a new subscriber of your channel and will need to do some catching up on what I missed. I didn't know about Society6 and a couple other references you've mentioned.
Congratulations on your year anniversary with YT Jan 7th which is also my birthdate. Thank you for sharing your talents with us here on YT and I look forward to joining your other platforms,
I think that a lot of people know just RedBubble and don't know about so many other print on demand marketplaces out there ! S6 is def my favorite in terms of overall quality & customer service.
and thanks for the "birthday" wishes, and sorry it took me so long to get back to comments from the past couple of weeks, it has been crazy.
And happy belated birthday to you too LOL
Im finally gonna get serious about selling my artwork(once i figure out what i wanna sell ofc lol)! I hear printify is the best as far as making the most money back from your sell, but i wanna start with here or redbubble first since im a small artist with an even smaller audience/following😅
👍👍👍thank you very much . Great video; Blessings 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad you liked it !
Though, this video is a bit old... I did a new version few months ago with Repper- game changer! >> th-cam.com/video/AB4nADp30QE/w-d-xo.html
I just now learned that I can upload the three file sizes as you fid your 4. Thanks. I also hadnt noticed the coaster dedign choices.
A year on have you sold any of these items on Society6? Each design can be a slog timewise.
I am uploading 3 files for about a year now, this was an old video :)
The new one is with Repper and only 3:
th-cam.com/video/AB4nADp30QE/w-d-xo.html
Mey, I'm not sure how it affects searchability, but I read somewhere that you should put - dashes instead of spaces between words in the tags. Something about how their search function works supposedly. Great video! I love Society6 (but hate the long upload process 😅). I stick with it though because the quality has always been so worth it.
I heard that too... I think it was more common about 6-7 years ago, before platforms started doing that automatically through the code.
And yeah, that love/hate relationship with S6 that all true artists have
How is this? 😮
Thank you for the Tutorial, it encouraged me to open up a Society6 Shop :)
YEAHHH ! And sorry it took me 2 weeks to reply, crazy times, but HEY- have you opened it ? How's it going ? How are you tackling the slow upload process ?
@@MeyTribe yes, but only with one design, one of my coloured mandalas. I know, more would be better, but I wanted to try it out 😂 I was prepared well thanks to your tutorial and didn’t find the upload time that awful long. Maybe that will change when I upload new designs in the future. First of all I want to order a sample to decide if the resolution of the mandalas are high enough. I experimented a bit with affinity Designer to get a higher solution. Looks fine on the fotos, but a sample would be much nicer.
@@Isildra Which item were you thinking of test ordering ?
i really love their art prints, I got one from them when I did the wall art review, and it was super high quality. also got a lot more items from them, still need to review the all over print shirt, the leggings, the mug, and more...
@@MeyTribe It was a hard choice 😊 I ordered a yoga towel because this is an affordable item for the high resolution and a round cutting board which seems perfect for mandalas... And because I'm obsessed with mugs I needed one too 😂 I guess, the items will be produced in the US so it will take a while... but I'm super excited
I have to be honest, I haven't uploaded to S6 for a while. I have fast internet and I still find it so very time consuming to complete the process for one design!! Mind you I have some beach towel designs that I want to order for the summer, so will have to get back to it soon. I tend to upload when I have some free time and can just sit and watch tv while everything processes. 🙂
I have been super slow with uploading as well... takes me about 15-20 minutes per each design (to take the original file, make a pattern for the various larger sizes on CSP, and adapting to the products)- and lately there have been major internet problems where I live... With some evenings with 3-5 mb speed :(
I think that I will def be uploading more next week, moving to a new apartment, as well as the cold will calm a bit so I can go to a coworking space with 250 mb speed
@@MeyTribe I find it similar here. In the evenings my internet can be slower because people come home from work and log on to their internet which slows the whole thing down. Only in Spain!!
I use Canva, started Society6. Just did 5000 x 5000 px and downloaded by 2.0 covered everything pretty much so had no additional enabling.
Yup, that can work... BUT- you need to make sure that the original files used can fit that!
If you use graphic elements on a Canva design- making the design bigger can cause these elements to become blurry on large items- which you will not see in your computer. You have to know the maximum size of the art you're enlarging.
Another great and informative video 💖 thank you for all the value.
always
terima kasih banyak ilmunya sangat bermanfaat bagi saya yang baru merintis, salam dari indonesia 🙏
Your video encouraged me to finally open my shop and upload my first design. But girl, this is frustrating. I usually use Firefox but the uploader doesn't work there at all. I had to switch to Chrome where I could upload the images (yay!), but it froze a lot at product editing or saving. And I have a good internet connection. But I didn't give up, and I've just hit publish! Thank you for this video! 😊🥳
Mey you are amazing, thank you for this video. For the large prints I still prefer using Photoshop for that since I use it for pretty much everything along with Illustrator.
And I agree with you that the con of the slow uploading process and the artistic nature of Society6 makes it a great advantage for us who are willing to put in the real work.. Also the affiliate program.. I am excited to start using them, esp that you inspired me to start my own blog to promote my work
Ohhhh that's so cool to hear you're gonna start blogging, that's awesome !
And also- Sorry for the late reply, been a couple of crazy weeks, and only now I am "dealing" with about 200 comments I have been hiding from LOL
I like how your channel grow 😍
I do too
Hi, Mey! Thank you for all your videos. They are very useful and practical. Please advise the limit of designs per day on Society6. Thanks again.
thanks you, for this amazing video!
Great video ,again IG link placing in story does not appear in my options on my account??
I really don't know. i have seen so many friends who can do that.... maybe you need to update the app on your phone?
I'm going to say it's exhausting because it deters spammers 🤔
Yeah, I feel the same way. I think that's one of the reasons I love them so much... Plus their really high quality items. In pretty much every category, compared to Zazzle, Printful, etc.
Hi Mey, agree about the zero analytics - its 21st century everything is about analytics. I gave up after a couple of months last year as I didn't have fast internet. last 5 months have fast internet and its just about OK. I've made some sales and so far have done zero marketing just relying on the Title & Tags to bring traffic. S6 is good in that unlike RB (a spammers delight) the number of Tags is limited to 20 and only 20 characters each.
The analytics is a real buzz-killer, also with teepublic it's one of the things I really don't get. What kind of products have you been selling ? more wall art or more home decor stuff ?.
@@MeyTribe Hi Mey with the exception of few odd items its all been Home Decor - like wall tapestries, throw pillows/blankets, shower curtains...
what happens when you are using Canva as your digital design tool? Am I screwed?
Well, ATM Canva cannot make files that are big enough for S6.... So you'll need to find a different design tool, or just upload smaller pieces of art that wouldn't fit all products.
Other platforms, like Zazzle, allows for tiling effects, which allows you to upload a 5000x5000 pixels seamless pattern and multiply it on a product. (so are suppliers like Printful)
Hi mey is there a way to duplicate product settings as i have to manually select all products then add tags and title etc if its similar looking design .
May i ask, if this pod sites also active on banning/suspend/terminated user account? ..
Hello, please tell me if I can sell other people's designs using a shortened link without creating my own designs on society6?
Hi, May! Is there a way to protect the design from being copied?
There is no way to protect designs from being copied. People can copy what you upload to Instagram. Sorry, this might not be the answer you wanted, but anyone can replicate anything they see online with the right tools or skills.
thanks mey another great video may i just ask a question why u dont do the 3 sizes that they recommend eg 15000x9000 and 8000x12000 and 12000x12000 at 300dpi ? also are your files that you present 150 dpi or 300dpi i assume 300dpi will be too large a file for society 6 perimeters. also do you save as jpg rather than png and may i ask why ...sorry for all the questions trying to work things out
Well, that’s an old video
I’m using different dimensions in the more updated one
th-cam.com/video/AB4nADp30QE/w-d-xo.html
what about uploading custom mockups rather than only use Society6 generated mockups? :) how do you upload etc. Worth it? or more of an ego thing (i.e. does it actually generate sales? thanks!
I feel like I am missing something... I never knew Society6 has the option for the sellers to upload custom mockups, I even tried searching for that now- and couldn't find it, are you sure that's an option ??
@@MeyTribe i learned about it on a Skillshare class: i will look at it again and see if I can find more info to share! Can I dm you somewhere?
@@siobhanokeefe9750 of course !! If that’s a thing please DM me :)
Never made a sale on Society6 in 6 years, even thought selling same stuff pretty good on other platforms. And yeah - hassle with files is big turn off for me.
I think that the style and audience of S6 is very different than other platforms, so maybe your style is better fitting for the other platforms, which is great- means that your style is awesome, and purchasable- when placed in front of the right audience :)
And yeah, their uploading process is exhausting !!!
I don't think its just about style, its also about site itself seller promotion (and sometimes shadow banning), for example on redbubble I have 3 stores and most sales I get from first and the oldest one (even thought images there are not the best) and its always same set of images (again not the best ones in my opinion) because those are the images redbubble algorithm historically (and until today) pushes up in search results. Regarding images on Society 6 I'm aware that its different, I think I ay need to remove some of my old images, and review overall what I have there, I have large collection of images as you can imagine, I make print on demand close to 15 years now. But never treated it as full time job, most like additional income, I have a regular job and side photography business, also I paint, so online content I create and post in spare time - which is not much.
I use kittl pro I guess for now I can't do society6 cuz the maximum size is 6000 x 6000 It's enough for almost all Redbuble product but for society6 It sounds not enough fir even one. kittl offers higher size but most of the time I receive a message which says above 6000×6000 it's too high and my navigator has a force shutdown. Anyway I must switch on canva. I'm not sure I can do society6 with so little size
Kittl has a maximum download size of 10800x10800 pixels
@@MeyTribe oh I see. Now the other question does it happen to everyone to have a browser bug when one tries to download something above 6000×6000 ? Can I avoid it?
@@Irland_mindset I get my laptop stuck for a few seconds when downloading that size… but Downloading a file this big - you need a good laptop, with a good processor, and contacted to high speed internet… there’s no way around it when downloading large and heavy files
@@MeyTribe Interesting you are so helpful. ok last one plz. Society6 dimensions are 6500 x 6500 and up to 16000 x 16000. Do you think I still can do it with this low kittl max dimension (10800x10800) or it's better to look for another platform?
@@Irland_mindset you don’t have to upload all of the items on Society6
You also can download in different ratios
Wether you should or not - it’s up to you. Is your style going well for society6 audience? How will you market things ? (I’m looking at things differently I guess)
hello! I struggle with making my files on procreate (on my ipad pro) large enough; what DPI are you using? I do 300. thanks!
The designs I have with procreate cannot be made "big enough" for all of the society6 products. I can only go up to 7000x7000 pixels for 300 DPI.
However, when I have anything abstract I "expand" it into a pattern on Clip Studio Paint (you can do it with Photoshop) and make it a seamless pattern. I was showing the process of that in this video:
th-cam.com/video/r7GxwuYptjI/w-d-xo.html
@@MeyTribe oh thank you! Will check it out! I have photoshop so this will work well for me!
Can I link society6 to my domain website on squarespace to sell my art as a print ?
I dont think we can do a direct integration. But you can post the images and link back to Society6 . If you have to directly sell there are others like Printful , zazzle etc
What about threadless?
Looking in to them, on my list... Though that list is so LONG LOL
hello mey so, this platform is only for artists' work? I can't use the same design from RedBubble?
You can technically use the same designs, but the system is different than RB with so many items requiring different sizes, much larger, with no multiply option. Also- these platforms have a very different audience.
@@MeyTribe great thank you
Do you also sell prints functional items on your own website or just via S6 and other similar sites?
I am currently focused on Zazzle & Teepublic for weekly uploads, and need to get back to S6, as I took a bit of a break, due to their crazy uploading time LOL
I also have art on InPRNT, Displate, and other platforms.
I do not use an external shop, was talking about that in several of my monthly goals videos, due to a limit on my CC that can only be changed by going back to my own country LOL trying to figure out opening a business in Bulgaria for that, but for now- having just too much fun with Zazzle and teepublic, and wanting to get back to S6, also started KDP...
@@MeyTribe which of those do you get the most sales from and are any of them able to integrate with shopify?
@@CrystalNouveauC I get more sales without having to do much marketing from Teepublic, since I had a very nice Pinterest account for it. And starting to structure several shops on Zazzle to start promoting them, and getting some sales before that.
All of these are marketplaces, they do not integrate with shopify.
@@MeyTribe ok thank you 😊
It's free website for sell the art or paid pls confirm?
Society6 is free . Only they charge $1 one time charge to add a paypal account for receiving the sales amount
by the way you are beautiful
