How to Create a TShirt Mockup Without Photoshop for Instagram - PlaceIt + Affinity Designer Tutorial

[@rivergrrrl1256]

Thank you I didn’t know Place It had free designs!

[@DetourShirts]

Happy to help!

Once again... another Gem 💎!

Thank you

Used your link for merch informer. I got the 6 month deal they offered and your link saved me even more. Not sure what to make of it all yet. Seems like a good tool.

[@DetourShirts]

Lots of good tools there.... watch the videos

[@oldroadie]

@@DetourShirts they are very helpful. It really has to all work together. They could use an update with the new MBA policies on drugs, swear words, and using Tshirt in the title and gift in the bullet.

Thank you Juna

You are very welcome

Yes to Instagram and Placeit but never thought of branding. Thank you.

[@DetourShirts]

You are welcome... glad I could help

[@jenny_rice]

Love it! Thank you for this information!

Once you create the mockup and save it, how do you upload it to Instagram? Do you download it to your phone and upload it using the App or do you upload it in another way? What are your steps? Thanks!

[@DetourShirts]

Oh right... I didn't go over that.... I save the final jpg to my phone and then use my phone to post to IG

[@MiguelPerez-gm4ym]

@Detour Shirts love the content and information you are sharing, helps me out a lot. I do have a question, what pic size would you use when it comes to making post on facebook? would it be the same size as the one you showed in the video for IG? Looking forward to your response

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... you can use the same size... I do

[@jaredf2241]

I can't believe I haven't been doing this. It just seems like a no-brainer lol. My concern with this though is that it may be a magnet for copycats. Thanks again, Juna! I have a video request: Not sure if you've covered this topic yet or not but could you show us how to make our own distressed textures and brushes in Affinity designer? I've been using the same free textures for a while. I'm not against paying for premium textures but I'd like to get creative :) I do most of my designs in Procreate and upload them to A.D. to add textures, text, etc.

[@DetourShirts]

I'm sure there is a way to make your own distressed textures in Affinity... I haven't done it before but I'll see what I can do.

Hello very informative video that I enjoyed very much. Just subscribed to your channel as I can see after viewing some of your past videos that I'm really interested in your content. l also use Placeit for my mockups when uploading to Amazon, Redbubble etc. but haven't used them for Instagram. Was wondering if you use a program to post or upload your images to Instagram? Also can you place a link on the uploaded image for interested people wanting to purchase the t-shirt?

[@DetourShirts]

Welcome aboard! I don't use a program to upload.... it's all manual. You can only place a link on the upload if you have a store tied to Instagram's shop feature... which I do.

[@AboYassine78]

Thank you Juna! An other amazing video as always, please I need tips to promote tshirts on Pinterest, can you do it?😊

[@DetourShirts]

I will look into it... I'm not that great at Pinterest myself so it will take some research

[@AboYassine78]

@@DetourShirts Thank you Juna for your interesting!

[@wearefollowingsparks]

This was a huge help in clarifying the process for me. Thank you. I am hung up on one silly detail though. I just got started with Merch and with my first submissions, I just tossed up a business name. Now I see that it is much more cohesive to use my website name and carry that name to everything (duh!). Here is where I am stuck. My website and etsy name end in "digital" let's say BlueSkyDigital. For my Amazon designs, should I stick with that even though digital sounds out of place or would it be better to call that piece of the business Blue Sky Shirts? I know I'm overthinking it, but I'd love an expert opinion =)

[@DetourShirts]

Don't do shirts... I did it a long time ago and it's not the best idea because there are way more products than shirts now... stick with digital

[@wearefollowingsparks]

@@DetourShirts thank you for answering. That's exactly what I did this morning. Now all my uploads are under review again in merch. Better now than when I have hundreds though

[@chetan7130]

Sir, is any trend can be in trending in whole week with low competition???

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... but trending on RedBubble is tricky it's not the same as the trends on Amazon

[@chetan7130]

@@DetourShirts But have you some idea that atleast 2 days they are in trending

[@benameurbenyahia3922]

nice

Thanks

[@abdallahdaw7045]

hello Juna .... how can I get accepted in merch by amazon? I tried many times but I got a rejection ..... please if you have any tips and tricks for that

[@DetourShirts]

It is pretty much the luck of the draw nowadays... but adding a link to a portfolio or POD shop showing you can design might help

Thanks again Juna for an really useful and important video. I use Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest. I would appreciate if you share a method to promote tshirts on Pinterest.

[@DetourShirts]

I'll check it out! I don't use Pinterest that much or at least I don't know it as well as I should... I will do more research about it

[@philliphardy4673]

Great video. I just started adding my logo on my instagram posts @pehardydesign and you gave some great tips to make it look better. Thanks!

[@DetourShirts]

Nice. Glad I could help
