If I Started Print on Demand in 2024, I'd Do This!

[@PhilipAnders]

Great video Juna! The way you come up so easily with that book + rocket + cat design idea is amazing. Very impressive!

[@DetourShirts]

Thank you! 😊

[@ZerotoHeroic]

Thank you Juna. A very selfless man. You don't know what you did to me with this video. Just 6 designs to go to reach my first 100 designs. No sales yet but I'm hopeful. This video just inspired me to up my game and now I understand what an Artist design should look like.👍

[@DetourShirts]

Glad I could help

[@MGproductions7567]

Update?

[@silentfrog8245]

How about now, are you got any sales?

[@LizDayTV]

Thanks for yet another inspiring & truly educational video, Juno! Absolutely LOVE the trick of using the pdf standard inside affinity designer!! VIDEO REQUEST: Now if you could just do a video giving us some pointers on how to name/sort/organize/manage all our design files so we can easily retrieve our files to make multiple variations, that would be a dream come true!

[@DetourShirts]

You are so welcome! I can tell you what I do but I don't know if it's the best way

[@SoumikSamaddar]

How to create an amazon account like you? Please let me know..!!!

[@DetourShirts]

Just keep adding stuff and get better over time

[@soebsatter9820]

could you please let me know how to edit banner of store in teepublic because i could not do it.

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... that would make a great video

[@doreengayer5723]

I actually love Redbubble and got many different items samples. I think the white designs come out best on their tees but all the other items I got were bright colorful high quality printed merch! I am going to open a KDP account as now I am making less on RB due to the low tier they put me in. I like doing Passive POD and have fun while making money.

[@DetourShirts]

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing... hope you do well

[@PrintOndemand-f2p]

so its not enough to use canva? you need to use affinity designer also?

[@DetourShirts]

That's what I use.... You can just use Canva if you want

[@marlene97992]

Great video Juna (as always)! Thank you for sharing!😊

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks for watching!

[@AllyGrant11]

Thanks for sharing! Can you please recommend some reliable POD suppliers for US and AU market?

[@DetourShirts]

Prinitfy has a list of great ones... you can look at their rating and everything

[@miadu1801]

Besides Printify, I recently tried Merchize, which has a better base cost and support so fast.

[@marlene97992]

Quick question - when uploading a Canva pdf graphic to affinity and no layers are available does that mean that the file has been flattened or is there a way to separate the layers? Thank you.

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... it could be both... usually it means it's not an SVG and just png or "photo" (raster graphic). A good rule of thumb... if you can change the colors on it, it's probably an SVG

[@marlene97992]

@@DetourShirts Thank you, Juna! I learn something new with every video you post! You are a great teacher!😊 I really enjoyed how you took a graphic and made it your own and made it even better than the original.

[@martifry1257]

What a cool design! I enjoyed watching you bring it together, and am envious of what you can do. Thanks for creating this video. I'm new to POD and trying learn as much as I can utilizing free tools.

[@DetourShirts]

Glad you enjoyed it! Lot's of FREE tools out there

[@DesignDreamlandtshirt]

How i creat own print on demand store free 🆓. Without market place

[@DetourShirts]

Without marketplace? Most POD sites are free to start... RedBubble, TeePublic, CafePress, Zazzle and more are free. Amazon is free too but I does take Amazon to select you.

[@DesignDreamlandtshirt]

@@DetourShirts actually I m live in Pakistan mostly withdraw method is PayPal but Pakistan has not available. Print on demand market place is better or own website is better?

[@imfasihahmad]

Thanks for shaing this Juna! Can you share some of your best Canva fonts (I've a PRO account so can use pro fonts too) that are neutral and can be used alongside any other font/design congruently? I've trouble always finding the best fonts to mix and match, so your insight is greatly appreciated!

[@DetourShirts]

Sure thing!

[@nyb_ok]

Teepublic deletes accounts frequently.

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks for sharing

[@hishamalaoui]

You must add unique designs. Even if you have licensed a design, teepublic and redbubble will not accept it. That's their policy. I advise you to generate designs with AI.

[@travelpointone991]

Correct .. I did one design .... no copyright or so. Was banned right away. No explanation. Not a good provider for sellers.

[@SusyRohrscheib]

@@DetourShirtsHi Juna do you have a video where you take a creative fabrica design with writing that is a svg file and take the design and change the writing on the design? I would love to see a video and if it’s possible to do that. I would like to take files in creative fabrica and change the writing. Hope you can share. Thank you and God bless you 😊

[@anneferragamo]

Hi Juna …If you could advise me on this would be highly appreciated… I design Alphabet from A-Z / 11oz. Mugs on 2 tone one is for Black and another is for Pink mugs . How can I group them both listings and SKUs professionally. Thank you.

[@Crazy_Newf_101]

Hey, Buddy. Just a little FYI. Artisan refers to something made by hand. So, they're looking for images that people have created themselves.

[@DetourShirts]

Good point. Designed by an artist. Great tip

[@oooBoEoNooo]

Hi Juna! You like to do your research process the old-fashioned way without tools, as you revealed in an interview with Jay De Souza. Also, you've been a T-shirt designer for a very, very long time, you said. Would you make a video in which you present a few of your very old designs and show us your "Old Shool Research Process"? That would be super interesting 🙂

[@DetourShirts]

Old School Research... I like it... thanks for the idea

[@lairekarice3556]

Your always coming through for us. 🐐 thanks my friend

[@DetourShirts]

You bet

[@halilhapa4989]

Hi, I want to purchase your POD calender but it's not updated for 2024. Will you update it?

[@DetourShirts]

I'm working on it

[@oooBoEoNooo]

Juna, do you mainly develop your designs with AI these days or do you still focus on creating them by hand (sketching or drawing and implementing them in a graphics program)?

[@DetourShirts]

I'm doing both.... I'm testing out AI but I still do a few by hand or the "old" way

[@MitosNãoKagghamNaSuaCabeça]

@Detour Shirts Are we allowed to sell AI generated arts on Merch by Amazon with no risk of having them deleted or being suspended?

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... but the same rules apply for it... not trademarked or copyrighted stuff

[@P-Funk69]

This was a great example of how to take clip art elements and make it your own

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks

[@marlene97992]

Juna I tried to find the blast off with books template in Canva so I could practice what you did but it wouldn’t show up for me and I have a pro account. Wondering if you would know why that would be?

[@DetourShirts]

I kind of just stumbled on it... but I think the best way is the search for books t-shirt in Design/Templates on Canva.... don't try to search for it in elements, you may not find it.

[@Art-ifishl_Intelligence]

Great video, I believe you can use canva's magic tools to edit out the elements you don't need, like erasing the book from that templet and pasting rocket :)

[@DetourShirts]

That's a great idea!

[@BeyondShirts]

I’m starting POD this year and have a Printify account. I’ve had 2 sales and shipping was a disaster. For some reason Printify picked a printer 1600 miles from the customer. They have a printer in Miami that was 1/2 the distance to the delivery location. The long shipping time (8 business days) is crazy long. How can we find out where this company or similar companies ship from? Long delivery times could be a deal breaker for me. Time sensitive orders (bdays or holidays) have to be delivered on time. I know things happen but I’d feel better if the customer knew a “no later day” delivery. What is your advice or experience regarding shipping time? Thanks for the great vids! 🎉

[@DetourShirts]

I believe you can check the Provider Info for each provider and find out

[@BeyondShirts]

@@DetourShirts thanks - I’ll definitely look for that. I’m going to take your advice from another video when you said starting in a site like this would let us know if we would be committed enough to take on POD FT. I had planned on Printful, Shopify and add-on apps for personalization. As we say in the south - I was going in whole hog :)

I’m curious if you take these tags and then apply to red bubble. I ask bc If you do tags this way you don’t have the data for other platforms since it’s hard to cut n paste easily from tp. I think you could also use the tags of ‘kids clothing’ for that cute design.

[@DetourShirts]

You could but you are right, good tags on TeePublic may not translate to tags on RedBubble

[@P-Funk69]

it would be great if you could do a video on that - the diff between the tags on each platform @@DetourShirts

[@adilbougma]

how do you advertise your T-shirt because the main problem is not how many design you can make but actually you need to get sell

[@sherpya]

mainly socials, Instagram, Pinterest

[@DetourShirts]

Social media but if you design it right TeePublic will do a lot of the "advertising" and traffic for you so it's very important to create something people will want to buy on the POD site you are selling on
