just because comments about copyright keep getting deleted: i know that this is in a gray area. some artists are stricter than others, and some treat it as free marketing. entering a fandom space like this is always a gamble, and i am well aware that it is a risk! but my attitude is i make these for myself anyway, and if i get shut down i get shut down. hopefully that helps answers any questions but feel free to ask below if you have any others!

So I was just looking for videos on people doing Etsy while working full time cause I’m about to open a shop. Not only did I find that in this video but your niche!!! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾I absolutely love it! In my early 20s I was going to concerts 24/7. I think in 2007 my best friend and I went to like 37 shows 😂. Awesome video and new sub here!!!

One day you're going to be depressed when they close your shop for copyright violations. Celebrities, their names, their images, etc. - all going to be trouble for you eventually.

ah shoot yt deleted another comment asking about this - but essentially fair! some artists are stricter than others, and some treat it as free marketing. entering a fandom space like this is always a gamble, and i am well aware that it is a risk! but my attitude is i make these for myself anyway, and if i get shut down i get shut down. but thank you for the heads up!

Any tips you found to help printer quality?

[@theglitterarchives]

yes!! letting photoshop/other program handle the colors instead of your printer >>>>>> also making sure that you use the system dialog to print when possible so you can mess with the actual quality! like i’m able to select draft, normal or best. hopefully that helps!!

It's one thing for YT to strike a video for copyright infringement as it only applies to the video and not your whole channel. Etsy on the other hand, could shut your whole shop down. I think I'd also be wary of a co-worker finding your channel and suspecting that you're not working all day but rather spending some work hours doing Etsy. Next thing you know, your Etsy shop is shut down AND you've lost your full time job. Quite a huge risk for living in an expensive city. No skin off my nose. You do you, as you see fit.
