GREAT INFO!! I was wondering about the placement & size of the design in the listing & if that affected the placement in the actual printing.

[@joyforyourfamilysjourney]

@GregGottfried - question about PlaceIt - if I upload my own images to use in my designs, will anyone else have access to them? Or will they be stored as a private, personal upload library? I have access to images that are OK to use for print on demand, but the owners don't want anyone else to have access to the images. Does that make sense?🤪

[@GregGottfried]

@@joyforyourfamilysjourney Makes total sense! Yes, they are private to only your account so they will not become public 👍

I've been watching you for years & you always give great information. This was very helpful! Thank you.

[@GregGottfried]

Thank you! More great videos in the works, and as always if you ever run into any questions just let me know!

[@Jenniferjames23]

Thank you so much for all the tips! I am spending a lot of time trying to be as original as possible and staying in my niche. However I haven't made a sale yet and any advice would be appreciated. I am having fun and am really proud of what I created.

How do we find out if a design on canva is trademark ed or owned by someone else?

[@clode6445]

I'm pretty sure Canva is copyright free all designs but check on Google if it is

[@MarkRyanBeraquit]

If you have a premium subscription on Canva, designs marked with a crown icon are considered premium content. This means you cannot use these images on their own, you must incorporate additional elements, such as other images or typography, in your design

[@lisahammond4443]

Thank you for your video! I have learned so much and have started trying to sell some designs. I do have a few questions: - How can you find out if graphics or fonts are copyright protected on Canva? Especially since I like some of their templates more than what I find in PlaceIt. - Is there a way to save graphics you like on PlaceIt so it's easier to find to use for a different template? - On PlaceIt, I have found that the graphic options I have available depend on the original template I selected. For example, if I want to change the graphic on template 1 and type "veteran", my options will be different than what I get on template 2. Am I missing something? - It seems like many of the graphics on PlaceIt are more cartoonish, is there a way to find more real looking graphics? For example, if I type in "grill" I don't get any/many options that look like a real grill, just a more artsy/cartoon picture of one. Am I missing something? Thank you!! Again, I really appreciate all your videos and help in this process and business!!

[@MaureenMasi]

Placeit seems to be very limited in design options. How can we find out if the fonts and graphics on Canva are trademark and copyright free?

[@JS-hb7qu]

Thanks for the video. I always see on other vids about the concern of canva graphics. Has anyone here received a violation for a canva design? It Would be great if you can get an interview with someone from canva.

[@AndrewScalise]

Looking for suggestions on when I search place it for design they don’t even have the niche, should I start making them for it or is there other places to look?

[@GregGottfried]

Generally that’s a good thing because you found a niche before it’s popular. I first try searching a more general niche that you can use to make more specific to your niche. Then if still nothing, I use templates from other niches and change the graphic to your niche 👍

[@ffstyle]

Very helpful advices for creating t-shirt designs, thanks Greg!

[@GregGottfried]

Thanks! Hope all is well 👍

[@alyssapai3694]

Hey Greg! Great video. If we were to have a canva account, how would we know we’re using copyrighted fonts/pictures? I know there are ways to look up if phrases are copyrighted/trademarked, but pics/fonts?

[@alyssapai3694]

Also, how would one know if they’re the original creator of a design? Between two people who have the same design, how would you know who actually thought of it first?

[@bryantasta5786]

Thanks for this video. I've been using the design library awkward styles have cuz Idk how to start designing, but this video helped me a lot!

[@GregGottfried]

Glad it was helpful! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍

[@HaulingPros1]

Greg, this is my biggest question about this platform,, What if we see a design we like,, like back to school for instance?? And we change the design elements,, would that be ok and not get a strike????

[@GregGottfried]

As long as the graphic is copyright free and the phrase is not trademarked already

[@jeffvoigt3501]

Thanks for your thorough reply Greg. I’ll switch to a new email address and reapply. Thanks too for the clarification and guidance on Placeit. All the best. Jeff

[@CreativeDaycraze]

I have a printify pop up shop do I have to move it to shopify? Can I move it to Amazon Merch.

[@GregGottfried]

You can use the pop up shop as is, or host on Shopify. It won’t integrate with Amazon though. I hope that’s helpful 👍

[@KittyKorner-om3ie]

Hi Greg, I love all your videos. I wanted to ask about two other places that I use to get free copyright designs and I wanted to know what you think of them because you’ve never mentioned them in any of your videos. Their names are Creative Fábrica and Kittl. Thank you for all of your amazing information.

[@Quiz4Genius]

Hello! Are you sure that I can't use Canva's designs for print on demand? They mentioned that if I use my own designs, even with icons, I can do it. Could you explain a bit more? Thanks!

[@hardtechnoboy]

what program are you using?

[@Rafaahsz]

Hi, how are you? Could you help me with a question? I see many people here in Brazil selling anime t-shirts and mugs (both in large and small stores, physical and online). I'm not sure if big stores like "Marisa" and "Piticas," for example, have the rights to do so. But probably, smaller stores here in downtown São Paulo and many online shops do not. I would like to know how it works to sell this type of t-shirt? Is it okay to remove the anime name? Can I use anime characters with changes in hair color and other details? I want to open a store in this niche.

[@jeffvoigt3501]

Hi Greg. Amazon Merch On Demand just declined my request. What’s your advice? Reapply in a couple of weeks? A second question: Are we able to use the T-shirt designs and slogans on Placeit; or must we alter the designs and slogans? Thanks, Jeff

[@GregGottfried]

Hi Jeff, Dang! Good news is you can reapply until you get in, and there's no timeframe you have to wait. Just be sure to use a different email address. There's speculation that the timing of applications (time of year) can be a factor, so if you do end up waiting a bit before applying again it may be helpful. Otherwise, it's just a matter of getting a good reviewer that accepts your application. As for Placeit phrases, yes you can use the ones you see on their site but two things to consider. First, just be sure to check them for trademarks before using them (this goes for any phrase). Secondly, if you do use the phrases from their site, just be aware that other people can use them too so you could end up with a duplicate upload of someone else's. Always ideal to customize them with your own phrases. Hope that's helpful!

[@monikatamasi2717]

Hy Greg, I would like to use images created with Midjourney, have you tried? Are they clear? I would like to use them because I won't have worry about using trademarked images.

[@miadu1801]

Between Bella Canvas and Comfort Color, do you think which is better?

[@duthuyytrang6378]

It's based on your target customer and your choice since they have their own advantages. You can sell both of them on your store. I have fulfilled with Merchize both Bella Canvas and Comfort Color and receive many positive feedbacks from customers. You can take a look at their catalogue

[@NziRiA]

Hi, did you recommend printify or printful? I want to sell in Italy. Thanks. Subscribed

[@GregGottfried]

Hey great question. More on that specifically in this video: Why I Don't Use Printful, Printify, or Etsy for Print On Demand kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGOal5uuf5yVZ5I

[@LioraNehama]

I hane a question about placeit - it gives 96 dpi files - are they fine to upload? mostly is needed 300dpi as i know

[@teslimedede7134]

I watched you 4 years ago and ı tried couple days now I'm thinking to do it again ı like a lot sitcoms and ı think design something about sitcoms what do you think about it

[@Kevin.Grindel]

Be careful of trademarks with movies, music and TV shows

[@chrismccormick4553]

Hello Greg, Is it possible to protect our designs with some kind of copyright?

[@AlmiraWiliams]

Hi Greg, thanks for all the tips. I'm looking for a POD company offers support for advertising materials like photos and videos. Any recommendations?

[@외남잔]

Hello, I am a subscriber living in South Korea. Please understand that I am not good at English. I have a question about the copyright issue. Is it a copyright violation even if I design a T-shirt with an AI program that is popular these days to make it feel like Banksy or Dali's work? I wonder if creations that mimic other people's painting styles also violate copyright.. Thank you always for the good video.

[@LKMONEY82]

Can you start as an individual then create the business?

[@GregGottfried]

Yes, absolutely!

[@Anura2024]

Hi..Merch informer payment is asking card number for payment. Is it fine to give? Or is there any other mode of payment?

Can we connect Amazon KDP account to Amazon merch account?

[@shefaaezz3794]

If I take a design that is not 100% copyright-free and modify it Will it become copyright-free and can I use it after modifying it?

[@GregGottfried]

It depends if the new graphics you are using are copyright free but it is possible 👍

[@linda5278]

Great tips!

[@GregGottfried]

Thank you Linda! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍

[@avissmith6782]

I don't understand. I opened Tee Public..uploaded a couple of designs and find out I'm an apprentice.. not good right?

[@PavelCervinka-ty2xw]

I made a brand new profile on TeePublic with really good quality and good designs and it still put me in the same category as you. They probably throw everyone there who hasn't sold anything yet

[@Bedtimestorieswithshonda]

Hey, I signed up for Amazon MOD and they denied me. In one of your other videos you said to try again with a different email. I did that. When I tried it gave me the error message this email is already attached to an Amazon account. I tried with 3 other email that I know it’s not connected and I went into incognito mode for the other emails and it still said that they were already in use with another Amazon account in which I know they are not. What more can I do? I do have an LLC that is different from me but I am the owner. Can I use that and if so will they shut me down if they find out that I am the owner?

[@AthenaHenchey]

I am still waiting to see the answer to : can you make a real income with passive POD? Anyone have concrete numbers to share?

[@Timberbeartrail]

When you’re on these places and you’re looking at this at work like what you’re talking about at the end of your video why don’t they? Why aren’t they required to let us know that this is trademarked I mean, they are on purpose creating a bad situation for themselves and other people by not doing that.

Do people really make money doing this. Or do people just make money selling courses on how to do it

[@GregGottfried]

Great question. Generally it’s both ways, some people make money in POD and others make their money from selling courses on it (and some both). I personally don’t have any paid POD courses, everything is free here on KZbin 👍 I’ve been in the space for about 10 years now and trying to spread high value honest info about the business. As always, I’m here if you run into any other questions
