thanks for the honesty... I just launched a shopify store.... this week because I created digital products and wanted to have POD products as well. but just learned in a video prior this one that you have to pay for the POD item first with Printify/ printiful and you're right alot of youtubers do not mention that in their videos when they push to start a POD business.

You have no business trying to start a business if you can't float a couple of bucks for a sold item for 24 hours! If you list your POD item on Etsy, the customer pays up front. Etsy pays out daily. So unless you have zero dollars in your bank account. You shouldn't have any issue using Printful or Printify.

@@CS-uc2oh sweetheart I never stated I didn’t have the money I shared watching other POD KZfaq videos paying for it isn’t mentioned, alluring to some KZfaqrs aren’t sharing vital information and make POD sound like it is a very easy 1,2,3 go formula when it’s not. The Devil is in the details. Premise of my comment is glad this video was honest about the details. Bc there are people out there that may not have the money and not know from watching others that claim it’s free and easy to start up.

We recently started getting into DFT and sublimation after buying and modifying printers. We are doing it the hard way and making way less in the process when you consider the time it takes to do it all yourself. We are going to do a 180 and concentrate on marketing instead of making!

Great video. I had no idea this was another option to POD. I’m sure each platform has a different pricing model. This is definitely something I’ll make my next move too. I just opened an Etsy shop. I am still slowly learning the ropes. I love the SEO component that passive POD uses. That is my biggest learning curve, interpreting information on e-rank and hoping it works. I understand that with time practice will improve this process. Did I mention I’m not a patient person? 🤣🤣. Thanks for sharing so openly. You are definitely a subscription channel for me.

How is the quality of the passive POD products? Like with Printify I was able to buy and test the quality of their shirts as well as the print and pick the shirt brand that I preferred, as well as the printshop. Can you select a printshop/product, or is there just one main printshop/brand? And then is the main site basically responsible for everything like customer reviews and stuff? Seems like on Amazon, if theyre the ones that mess up, your product is still gonna get the bad review, right? Also, seems like pod products on Amazon are usually not great quality.

Hey Jenny, I'll see if I can put together a designated video on this but it's just because it's a brand new account. Essentially, they label every new account as "Apprentice" but it automatically changes to "Artisan" once you upload enough designs and they see you're not a bot spamming the platform. They do this so brand new accounts that use bots to upload thousands of designs automatically don't all show up on the marketplace as spam.

If you have a site already, can it be linked to the passive sites?

For passive sites how do you choose what T-shirt type they will print your design on

What do you do when your account gets categorized as an Apprentice Account?

Printify now has its own store as well. With my printify yes I bring my own traffic but if they buy from my store they are paying for the product outright and I get paid on the 14th of each month.

Really good info!

This is assuming that we can get approved through Merch. Some of us didn't, so now we go the Etsy route. Also, I would do both to increase income & not have all my sales on one platform.

Hey no worries if you didn't get into Amazon on the first try. You can always reapply with a different email address. More on that here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nb16qaR3zpydYnU.html

How about in the U.K. and France?

@bobbychall5396 Ай бұрын

Could you use both active and passive POD or will sites ask for exclusivity? so could I use printify and amazon at the same time?

Are you allowed to personalized the shirts on these websites?

Can you import designs from printify to teepublic ?

I am just trying Amazon. I have used printify and printful. But the problem I have with Amazon is it requires a PNG file set to RGB but prints in CMYK. They show that the product can be way different than what shows..... With color settings CMYK I never really had a problem. I'm afraid to even try Amazon. It seems like I need one image file that is setup in RGB that will be used to print but another that shows on screen what it looks like once printed. Well really, I need to create an image file that will print the way I want. So when I have an image from another platform I don't think I can just use it because it needs to be edited to be RGB and the image file would like darker I feel than what's printed. I mean, does Amazon convert the RGB to CMYK to print? Or does their printer just do it's best? I want to know what I need to do to make sure the image I see is what I'm getting printed. From their examples it looks awful. And offer no resolution.

I feel that people just, log onto Etsy, favorite the things you or I took time to make, steal the idea and copy it. Meanwhile, zero sales on Etsy. Just fees.
