What free background remover do you recommend? Ps. Thank-you so much for your videos! You are helping me so much.

[@elephantintheroom5678]

Alex, have you figured out a prompt to make Midjourney generate a mock-up frame in the aspect ratio you want? I'd like to know it, if you have. Thanks.

[@goldenpassenger5135]

I am a photographer who is new to all this, starting a POD business .... but man, from all the videos I watched, your tutorial is by far the best. Easy for us beginners to understand, very fluid explanations, pleasant voice and appearance. All in all, I understand POD a bit better now. Thank you Alek!

[@lindsayjeanae]

Completely agree with this comment here. I've been watching a lot of tutorials and this is by far the best. Thank you!

[@Tomdragon91]

very in-depth, very informative. You actually explain step-by-step how to start an online AI/printify/Etsy business. Other content creators tell you "Top 5 online AI business ideas guaranteed to make you money in 2024" etc. but never go in-depth this much. They will just list 5 business ideas, may list pros and cons of each and thats it. You actually list specific softwares to use, how to generate ideas that sell, how to research, etc. and explain each very meticulously. Your videos are the only ones I actually watch fully to the end since I see the effort you put into trying to help people start their online businesses. It doesn't feel fake or forced. You really encapsulate and embodify the emotion and sentiment of "I am a regular guy who made this money and I wanna help people make it too." No gimmicks or BS. I'm impressed and I'm also now subscribed.

[@OoohWeeeDoe]

I guess if you take the total audience that watches these videos and subtract the percentage that won't do the easy work and start a POD biz....that leaves a very small fraction of people to go out and make a ton of money from following through on these steps. I plan to follow through!

[@JB_Lego]

The easy part is creating the product, its the marketing that everyone is struggling with.

[@bromo4666]

Why would that be a problem on platforms that already have a lot of traffic. Listing Optimization is the only thing you need to master. Unless you mean Shopify, there marketing is crucial

[@OmekeOnyebuchiAngela]

You are absolutely correct, I've tried learning how to create and Design a product and it was quite fun but it is how to market the product and attract sales that is the major problem

[@touristofsongs4946]

For me it is about creating it.

[@goldenfootplaya]

Well for creation it's easy because you can hire someone to do the job for you, but the real challenge is marketing and how to convince people to buy your product

[@touristofsongs4946]

@@goldenfootplaya It sells for itself, as long as there is demand for it. If you struggle with the marketing it's because you failed in the first step which is searching a niche/subNiche

[@dustinkoop]

Alek, this was undeniably insane amount of value you provided. I can't thank you enough. You really should be plugging your course in the videos.

[@pvanukoff]

Personally, I'm glad he doesn't plug his course in all his videos. It's refreshing to see valuable content that isn't full of that stuff.

[@VS-mt5tz]

@@pvanukoff Why would you pay for a course from a dude that tells you to use AI??

Glad it helped!

I instantly subscribed after watching this video. I'm in the middle of rebranding and preparing for POD. Amazing knowledge in the video. I cannot thank you enough.

Love how clear this is. As a Product Manager, I can user stand the thought process, and more importantly they why things fail. Looking forward to going through your 2 attached videos and resources. Merci!

[@kaj-nagibe]

This is by far the best POD tutorial I've come across, and I've seen quite a few. Thanks for putting this together!

[@shenjen3665]

I've definately noticed in myself when I shop around on Etsy - when I see a shop with a cohesive look that sells something I like - I start having thoughts like "I just want SOMETHING from this shop. They're all so cool I HAVE to have one!". That's the thing we're going for.

[@alekSheffy]

Thanks for sharing!

[@donnawebb3183]

Thank you for such clear and awesome instructions. You have made it simple for anyone to open a shop. Before I watched your video I was so confused. I can't thank you enough.

[@sonyasspot355]

Hands Down, This video is the best, You explain so clearly and to the point. Thank You

[@matdcorral]

most of the new print on demand business failed becaue of setting up website for their own store online, they start with a purchase first and some upfront fees to start with and no one is telling them about it. that why most failed becuase of unspected roadblocks ahead which no hinest print on demand yotuber tell them about. they only told them about how to get sales but they never shared their own failures before they become successfull. i hvent seen any youtube video thats honest from the beginning. and people who like syour video want to know the real deal and we arehappy to know if ur teh first person to tell us. thank you.🤩

[@Zumbartina]

Hey Alek. Thx for your easy to listen video. I am from Germany and it was really easy to listen and to understand. God job in explaining all the ETSY things in a slow/normal speed of spech. The lots of examples where also helpful and informative. I'm gonna try to set up an Etsy shop in the the near future and follow your instructions. Am excited to see if it would work.

[@AndyPopo888]

[@panampace]

Alright, focus on one product and cover many niches rather than one niche with several products. This is really helpful and looks like I’ve been putting my time in the wrong place if I want to make money.

Cannot stress how important choosing the right pod provider is. I chose AOP+ and they were useless and I ended up getting my store suspended because of orders not being sent out. I’ve luckily got my store back after a few weeks and I’m only using Gelato they have been spot on in every metric the only thing I wish they had is more products!

[@abel.darmawan]

Hi Alek, thank you for the informative video, very generous of you. I have a few quick questions based on your experience with Etsy: 1. I read that 81% of their user base are female, do you recommend to make products that are catered more towards female for better success? 2. In your experience, is having a shop that sells different kid of product line up (t-shirts, mugs, tumblers, etc) okay? Or is it better to dedicate a shop to a single product lineup? Thank you again and I hope I can get a reply!

[@chrismcmanus1485]

Alec, great video and I’ve learned a ton from you over the last year! Keep em coming. Please consider hiding shop names when you put up examples. Publicizing them has the potential for those Business’s to be copied so frequently it and puts them out of business. Precisely why other KZbinrs don’t provide their own shop names.

Great content as always! Your strategy for starting a print-on-demand business from scratch is solid and inspiring. But I'm a bit skeptical about the emphasis on profit margins over product uniqueness. Isn't there a risk that focusing too much on margins could lead to a lack of innovation in product offerings?
