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. ❤

Hey Shimmy, been watching your videos for an awhile now, but you just earned my subscribe 🎉 Keep doing stuff like this! Thank you!

One of the best POD related videos I watched! Super helpful and practical. Thank you!

Shimmy this is SO SO helpful! and such a time saver! thank you

Really helpful video, Shimmy!! I would love to use this mockup template! Thank you so much!

Incredibly helpful video! Thanks, Shimmy 😊

Awesome tutorial! Thank you Shimmy! You are my best POD teacher! I wish you 100k soon! Unfortunately can’t subscribe couple more times 😅

Thank you Shimmy! I made my very first mock-up today with your help. I appreciate you being a mentor to the community.

Get this man to 100k!!!

So I use to love using models but lately I have been loving flat lay with the tshirt. You can see the design better.

thanks so much for this! It was very concise and useful!

I love your videos! I learn so much from you.

Thanks heap as I never thought I could do my mockup this way

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?

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! 🙏🏽

Nice new set!

Cool tutorial but the title is a little misleading. I was expecting some kind of automation done to create 500 mockups in 5 minutes.

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.

I posted a question about whether we should make close-up mockups or model mockups, it's a great tutorial

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?

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?

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

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? 🙏

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

When putting the grunge effects on the graphics, how to make the grunge elements transparent so the shirt colors can be seen as well?

Thanks Shimmy! I'm sold on this new markup concept and want to implement to a store with ~ 150 shirts... ** I'm lost though ** on how to replace existing Printify mockups with these new ones and have each one tie to the color palette / variant (i.e., user hovers over Military Green and new Military Green mockup shows, etc.). Thanks!

What about for sweaters and hoodies?

awesome

How to use this mockups to your products on printify?

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?

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!

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!

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?

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?

do you have a mentorship program

Shimmy, have you tried Recraft Ai-generated mockups?

Shimmy, your videos are usual spot on...however I'm a bit confused with your criticism of the "Crazy Dog Lady" tee with the tied waist (6:41). That shirt has 5k reviews and a 4.9 rating. If only 10 percent of people leave a review, as suggested by many KZfaqr's, then this person has sold 50,000 of these tees. I find it highly unlikely that they sold 50,000 of these, so lets say that they sold 5,000 (one for each review)....what the heck is wrong with that? I'd take that any day! lol!

Isn't it bannable to not use mockups which Printify gives you because it's 'inaccurate' for Etsy?

I will create a product that they cannot resist!! LOL

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. 🙂

Shimmy Printify added adidas shirts!

Maybe I do have a large head, but the helmet looks kinda small in comparison to the shirt. For the rest, good video!

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 ?

So the sizes of the accessories are not realistic

🔝

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.

He typed Google in Google 😱😱

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.

your video NOT y 5 minutes, rather than 21 minutes !!!

Hi. Is 'Backgrounds' pro only? Not seeing it. Ah, it shows up when you search it. Not seeing wood planks, though. Thanks
