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.

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.

...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.

Just started with Etsy and kittl - Love your instructional videos like this one

[@Kittldesign]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RickHenderson]

I started my Etsy store in 2016 and I dabbled in making my own shirts with heat transfer and vinyl. I even ended up doing promotional hats, sweaters, and shirts for my friend's landscape company. I had registered as a sole-proprietorship so I got reseller status from Alphabroder. I've made sales on my Etsy but it was only 2 or 3 designs that were inspired by a comic hero, and I want to move to genuinely custom designs. My original target market was artists but I didn't know what they like!

[@Kittldesign]

Great goal! Keep at it, and do a ton of research at the beginning. It will pay off to know your target audience before starting to design!

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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@WhyNotTryandSeewithUs-ni1bt]

I am Just starting today.

[@Kittldesign]

Nice!

[@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.

[@kimberlyvera2449]

Excited for you!

[@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!

Looking to start an etsy store!

[@Kittldesign]

Great! We hope Kittl can help you achieve this!

[@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)!

[@loriannburnett3891]

im in the infancy stage

[@Kittldesign]

You got this!

[@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!!

[@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.

[@its_niquenique]

Omg, i just started with creating several designs from shirts, mugs, and journals. Everything is saved as a draft in printify because I haven't created an etsy store yet. However, i was downloading each design in SVG. What's the difference with PNG?

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! An SVG is a scalable vector file, meaning it can be opened in advanced editing softwares (or laser cutting programs), a PNG is a static rasterized image, where you can remove the background from print on demand. Most all of the time, Print on demand platforms like Printify require a PNG file, which you can export from Kittl.

[@roxannehoward7333]

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

[@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

[@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?

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.

[@tammyzepeto6583]

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.

[@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.

[@rachelwise5193]

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.

[@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. I asked for a car doing doing donuts and showing the background of downtown los angeles and it created me some weird art work. although that they were nice just not what i wanted and i wasted my credit which was a bumber.

[@donnayoung4289]

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.

[@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

[@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.
