Full Kittl + Printify + Etsy Tutorial: How To Find A Niche, Make A Design, and List Your Product

[@JainabaFatty-z8p]

Your video touched my heart deeply. As a struggling single mom, your design and ecommerce tutorial inspired me. Currently facing financial challenges, I'm determined to find a way to start small and dream big. Thank you for being my source of inspiration in pursuing financial independence.

[@Kittldesign]

You are most welcome and we wish you the best of luck on your journey. We hope our other tutorials and incites can help you.

[@SaeBeulCassels]

...my small, exact sentiment... big dreams and so many creative ideas to serve different needs -- but finances to startup are scarce, definitely none available to risk to waste.

Im a total novice. Stay at home mom, looking for a creative side hustle. I just started designing with printify yesterday and got an ad for kittl, didn’t know what it was, but looked interesting. This video was super helpful to understand what I can do with Kittl and how to make it work with the printify and Etsy services I’m already using. Thanks!

[@Kittldesign]

So happy to hear that! And so glad you found Kittl!

[@MaryUnderwoodeastbayarts]

Very helpful! One question Do you always send a sample to yourself before listing a product?

[@Kittldesign]

We know a lot of Etsy sellers who do. This will depend on budget, and what you are able to afford. But it is always best to see the actual physical product to get the best representation to show your customers.

I just wanna learn how to upload mocup from little to printfy for instance I don’t like printfy photos and I wanna upload where I designed tshirt from kittl

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! You can't upload mockups to Kittl yet, but you can certainly use the ones we have!

[@jeweljewel9070]

I loved your tutorial, I took notes and was all ready to start researching, but eRank doesn’t appear to be free and seems to need a subscription now. Maybe different from when you made the video? Is there another program that would allow beginners to start product analysis no cost?

[@Kittldesign]

We also just recently noticed that eRank just put a gate on the features that are free vs. what is paid for, so yes, at the time of this video, the features you see in the video were free. There is also a tool called Everbee which has a free tier that can help you with ranking on Etsy as well.

[@person4164]

Question-how do you change colours on specific items that are uploaded from files?

[@Kittldesign]

When you upload SVGs, you should be able to immediately change colors, but if you are uploading a static JPEG or PNG, you would need to vectorize the image to edit individual colors.

[@Dannypearl3603]

do u have a video explaining how to fill out Etsy step by step? i got stuck on add foto and video and digital products etc.

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! We don't but we have many collaborators who can help! Check out Heather Johnson and Sandra Di to see what kind of intro tutorial videos they have for Etsy.

[@brookejohnson1173]

Loving Kittl so far! And these tutorials are super helpful. Starting designs for Etsy. *Question*: is there a way to make designs for shirts CMYK instead of RGB for printing colors closest to what is seen on screen? TIA!

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! Great question, as we are working on this color functionality. But as of now, we haven't seen much issue or variability with color on the physical product, as DTG is quite close to the exported graphic! Of course, color is always important to keep in mind, so we suggest ordering a proof of your shirt whenever possible so you get a real representation of what it's like.

[@rachelwise5193]

can these niches be researched on Everbee?

[@Kittldesign]

Sure thing.

[@leaderdreams128]

May be dumb ? If you have a store that is connected to Printify, you can upload it to both your store and Etsy? Just to have on multiple platforms.

[@Kittldesign]

Sure!

Are Kittl and Printify the best partners to use when creating canvases. I would really like to create beautiful artwork to compliment one's home. Any advice or thoughts would be deeply appreciated. Love your tutorials. Blessings

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! There are a variety of print on demand providers you can use to print artwork on Canvas, and Printify is definitely one of them!

[@roxannehoward7333]

Thank you for the quick reply. Trying to get started but I think I read too much into everything and have info overload, Lol Just need to take that leap of faith. Thank you again.@@Kittldesign

What plan do your recommend? What can you create with only 30 AI credits a day?

Thanks for the video tutorial! :-) I think the letters on your design are kinda small ...

[@Kittldesign]

Thanks for watching. :)

[@KarimasPlanet]

Thanks Drew. this is very informative and step by step understandable. I am a beginner. I am exactly following your steps and using Printify. In Printify under "My Products" there is an option "Allow automated order routing". "Enable Automated Routing" In case your print provider is temporarily unavailable due to stock issues or your selected print provider is experiencing significant delays, we can automatically route the affected items to a different print provider, so your orders can arrive on time. I this they have mentioned there is an extra cost of $2. Do you have any detail video on Printify or can you make it? What if we select "Enable Automated Routing", the Retail Price of a product is $16 and Profit is $2.41. After this there is an additional $2 due to "Automated Routing print provider". So what would be the Profit. I might not be right but it would be great if you answer the right price calculation.

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! We haven't looked into this specific issue/feature, but we would suggest checking out Printify's channel to see if they have some content for this (or joining one of their weekly lives to ask this question to Martin)!

[@sweetbeep]

Is the "primary" and "secondary" colors in the listing for the color of tbe fabric or the design??

[@Kittldesign]

This is a great question, and one we're not entirely sure of, but we believe it is overall, as if the shirt or apparel color and design were one.

[@sweetbeep]

@@Kittldesign ..ok thanks

[@יהאבטלכורה]

It is legal to use a kittl design to sell on Etsy?

[@robincorey1]

Great video!! When choosing a niche does that mean your whole store would be psychedelic? Im confused about if you choose a specific style if you need to stick to that...for example let's say you then wanted to do a fathers day shirt or a Bachelorette shirt, would it be best to keep those as psychedelic designs too?

[@Kittldesign]

There are certainly different ways to go about this, where you can either have a general store with a variety of niches, or individual stores for each niche. If you are just starting out, we think it's okay to have a variety of niches represented on your store to see what is working best, and if sales start to pick up on one specific item, then you may decide to open a shop specific to that niche!

[@robincorey1]

@@Kittldesign Thank you!!

[@as-pn910]

Which printing type it was? DTG?

[@Kittldesign]

With Printify, you can select from DTG or Embroidery, depending on the type of product you want.

[@pftaharahzepeto6583]

What if you don't want to use this method for Etsy but Shopify instead and to have it shipped out to customer's directly?

[@Kittldesign]

That will also work! You can integrate your Print On Demand supplier with Shopify so that when someone orders from your site, it goes right to them. And you can use a similar research strategy to find profitable niches.

[@trooandco]

How are returns or refunds handled? If your Etsy customer wants to return the item is that done through the Etsy seller/shop or directly through Printify?

[@Kittldesign]

Hi! Let's say I am trying to sell and use bella canvas 3001 shirt (or any t-shirt style), can I search exactly the word "bella canvas 3001" on mockups inside Kittl? Thanks.

[@Kittldesign]

Thanks for the question! At this time we don't have specific shirt style and brand mockups, but we are looking into how to implement this.

[@bballer1991]

The google searches are not in the free plan anymore :( any suggestions for another free tool?

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! What do you mean Google searches?

[@bballer1991]

@@Kittldesign Thanks for your reply. I mean the colum "Google Searches" in the free plan of eRank.

[@SerephimLife]

On kittl are the model images with tshirt designs considered stock images and do they abide by the Esty terms of agreement? I put up images from Kittl and got a message from Esty.

[@Kittldesign]

This will largely depend on the design itself, not the mockup of the design. There should be no issue with the mockups in Kittl, but if you are trying to sell a copyrighted or trademarked design, then Etsy will have an issue with it.

[@DJMATRIXVIDEOBLENDZ]

So beginner friendly, thank you!

[@Kittldesign]

Happy to hear that! We'll do more in the future!

[@nikitakumi3697]

Hi, I noticed that Canva doesnt have an option for DPI and Kittl particularly doesn't have a DPI up to 300 but that's what Printify requires for the print-design on my shirt. Now I'm worried, may i ask how did you manage with that?

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! We do have DPI control up to 300! There should be no issue exporting designs at 300 DPI.

[@Everyoneneedscounselwithoyze]

How can I connect the design to printify?

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! You can easily export your design from Kittl using the "Download" button once you are ready. Then, once you select a product in Printify, you can easily drag it in or select upload from within Printify to place the design on apparel or anything else. Check out Printify's KZbin channel for more help as well.

[@Jojorocks23]

Good tutorial but I used up all my searches trying to follow his search? I was only allowed 5 searches not 50, what happened there? That was useless as far as getting a handle on how to use this tool. But the guy was good, will follow to use Kittl but not so much eRank at this time.

[@Kittldesign]

Thanks for the feedback! There are a few specific places you have "quotas" or "searches" for in E-rank. What I used in the video was the Keyword Tool that's down below the main search bar up top. It's a little confusing, because they do different things. We'll be doing some videos in the future using some other Etsy ranking tools that may be easier to get the hand of.

[@dianeflynn3071]

Great info but too fast for a beginner. Is there a tutorial on where the tools are, very basic. Where to find the actual workings of kitty.

[@Kittldesign]

Yes! We have a full masterclass tutorial for Kittl on our KZbin Channel, and we are actually filming a new one in the coming weeks with brand new features. So stay tuned!

[@donnayoung4289]

I don't see the options to add printify as mt Partner on mine

[@Kittldesign]

Interesting! We would recommend checking to make sure everything is synced and connected properly between Printify and Etsy. It may also be hidden in the show more attributes section.

[@andersdroid]

Great comment but the background music is mind numbing. Not nitpicking because I’m a subscriber. The loop is so distracting. I’ve noticed that you’re lowering the volume in the newer vids. Not doing well in POD but my brick and mortar store in San Francisco is doing AMAZINGLY WELL in a large part because of Kittl. I love designing but I’m soooo slow. I still use my original cartooning skills for about 50% of my stuff but Kittl has allowed me to add new inventory and specifically seasonal stuff at a greatly accelerated rate while utilizing my original art at the core. I’m making record sales( for my store anyway)in a very competitive market. And i love seeing the delighted look on shoppers faces. As an artist its very gratifying. Maybe i’ll get the hang of POD but in the meantime I’m doing great. Thanks for all you do…

[@Kittldesign]

That's excellent to hear your physical store is doing well! That's fantastic!

[@AniMerci]

I'm in the early stage of my Etsy store. I have been using Kittl templates. Unfortunately, I see many other sellers are doing the same, or almost identical designs. Designing originals takes time, so it's slow going for me. At least someone wearing my shirts won't be passing the same designs coming and going. Jeez, that Frankenstein face is everywhere!

[@Kittldesign]

Sure, sometimes a certain design style or tempalte style can be a bit oversaturated. We're getting ready to share an interview with Gary from T-Shirt Help Desk and he provides some helpful tips for making things stand out and actually be different from the rest, which may help you.

[@danimotherofchickens479]

Hi, how to do you push it through as a draft so it doesn't publish to etsy before you fix it

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! Printful will push your listing as a draft to Etsy, but from what we can tell, Printify pushes the listing immediately as "Live," and you must go and set it as a draft, if you want to continue editing it before publishing. We will research if there is a better way to do this.

[@kimberlyhusch6600]

Oh boy...again I feel so stupid! Are we allowed to use the mockups (Kittl and/or Printify) as photos in our ETSY shop listings, or are we to order a sample of every single item we ever create so we can submit our own real photos?? (To me, that totally defeats the purpose of why folks go into POD in the first place) After reading the ETSY terms, it seems that the latter is the case. You've also intimated the latter in this video. You've ordered the sweatshirt, and will now make photos, etc. Who do I need to email for these specific questions?

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! Scott from Brand Creators actually covered this topic in a recent interview we did. I would suggest checking out this video and you can scroll to that Chapter in the video where we are talking about mockups: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIiWZGuQpZinl8ksi=844pV8ws7uZ6OOdG

[@MasterScreenPrints]

That’s something really simple. I used kitty and I ask it something and it does something random that I don’t want and it charged me points. It’s a good tool but needs upgrades to give you what you need.

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there, are you referencing the Kittl AI tool? Sometimes it does take a few tries to get exactly what you want, but that is the case with many other AI Art tools as well. We also worked the last 2 weeks on severely upgrading the AI renders, so we hope you start to see much more accurate prompts. Cheers!

[@MasterScreenPrints]

@@Kittldesign thank you for your responce. I hope so it was more to the point.

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there, this video is purely a demonstration. We also did not use the paid platform of Erank, which has recently been updated with a paywall over the last several months and doesn't show the same categories now as it did at the time of creating this video, which can certainly be frustrating. We also suggest validating the style, niche, trend, or otherwise by actually researching on Etsy itself, finding shops and listings with performing products. The research component is key, and we only briefly covered it here. Cheers.
