I just made my first one of these just a few weeks ago and it took off immediately with someone buying three of them within 24 hours of listing and it's continues to sell like crazy. Working on more of these! They are so fun to make!

[@hannahebeling]

That’s so awesome!! 👏

[@almagjim]

Congratulations! I was afraid to do one but thanks to Hannah I feel more confident to do it now! ❤😊 if you don’t mind me asking, how did you price your product? I sometimes wonder if people think ai am over charging, ai guess I just need to be more confident 😊😅

[@RailinX]

@@almagjimsince you’re making a custom design each time make sure you’re charging for your work

[@kimmi1137]

@@almagjim I've been pricing my custom items higher than my regular stuff. Still learning pricing strategies myself as well. I do think having a loss leader helps. That particular one I listed for 35.99 and up (Comfort Colors) depending on size but I also have a sale of some sort always running. I'm sure your prices are fine.

[@almagjim]

@@kimmi1137 thank you so much Kimmi ☺️ I will be making some of these designs soon

[@personalguntrainer]

Girl those lights. I love your videos, and the tree is gorgeous. But the strobes! I had to have my hand up to cover the tree while it was visible. Thank you for all your informative videos, you are awesome to learn from!

[@sonja-silva]

Same

[@AfroGus831]

its not a strobe, LED lights can flicker on camera due to the stroboscopic effect, which occurs when the video's frame rate (FPS) doesn't match the light's frequency.

[@KarlaZamudio]

YAAY!! THANK YOU, HANNAH FOR MAKING THE VIDEO! 🥰🥰🥰

[@hannahebeling]

Hope it was helpful!

[@pnemmsley]

This was a fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Girl amazing tutorial, you are the best. I will start creating this, hopefully this really takes off my etsy store lol thank you so much

[@hannahebeling]

You got this!

[@MissWeezeyUSA]

🎄 Your Grandma’s living room looks so festive ! 😂😂😂

[@douniahelenedavid5923]

Very good video, but I was wondering if you know "customly", and also is there a way to automise the making process of a bootleg by making people do their choices, I don't know if I am clear but do we have to do all the creation process of the bootleg ourselves all the time there is an order ? Thank very much 🙂

[@PatriciaLLogan]

I really have enjoyed your videos. However, you might want to have a warning on this one. Some people may not be able to watch the video because on the tree, the lights are blinking in a strobe-like effect, and sometimes that does bother them. Otherwise the information you gave is very insightful.

[@LucaHirch]

Super helpful, totally worth watching!

[@Sabrina.lacassie0]

Thank you so much Hannah! This helped me a lot!! I use a really similar page to edit so this came really handy for me ❤❤

Thanks for the video. It was very helpful. I’m curious how the quality of the shirt is and how the print looks?

[@beckykeener]

Thanks for the tips! Very informative! This will disclose my age but omg, those shirts in the 90s, haha, I remember sneaking outta school to ride the buses into downtown and would hang out at the rocker and goth shops to get my headbanger clothes! hahaha. Oh the memories! I should have kept my clothes! Every style since I was born has been back in style. Thanks again for the info - also, your lights in the background are quite crazy and interesting! haha. I couldn't afford to keep both Canva and Kittl - you prefer Kittl if you had to choose?

[@hannahebeling]

So fun! Everything definitely comes around again if you wait long enough. I have been using Kittl more and more lately, so it would probably be my top choice.

[@MargoMaretska]

Thank You for this amazing video tutorial

[@hannahebeling]

Glad you liked it!

[@taneishathomas7700]

I may have missed this.. But where does the customer upload their images in Etsy...(is there a dropbox type feature?) After the customer orders, it goes directly to printify... Do I have to go back to Kittl or Canva to modify each order?? Does this work with hello custom?

[@sassyTK41517]

Thank you for this & all your videos! I'm definitely trying this design while waiting for my AMOD approval. 🤞

How do you get this to the shirt? Do you print this on a specific printer? Just not sure what to do after I make the design. This was super helpful and so detailed!

[@jennyb1899]

Hi Hannah! Are BOOTLEG SAFE to use as a tag and title?

[@PintoBrahan]

Nice. thanks for sharing

[@Couponmom90]

Love these! I would love to get your opinion on something. My shop has the word ‘shirt’ in the name. Currently I have only shirts and sweatshirts in my shop. I’d love to get into other POD products like candles, beer mugs and such. Here’s the big question. Should I open up a new shop to do those items or can I still fit them in my Shirt named shop? I’m relatively new on Etsy, having started at the end of August this year. I’ve done better than I thought I would so far so I’m wondering if adding these products to my existing shop would be best so I could ride the momentum I’ve already got. I’d really love to hear your expert opinion since I see pros and cons to both options.

[@hannahebeling]

Great question! I think there’s no problem adding some new offerings even in your current shop. The reality is, many people buy items just off the product page and never even visit your storefront.

[@Couponmom90]

@@hannahebeling Thanks so much for responding! I think I’ll test out adding some new products on my current shop to see how it goes!

[@breemiumtechnologyhub]

Thanks for sharing this awesome tutorial! Many r looking for ways to tap into the print on demand market, and this niche seems like a great opportunity for beginners . deserves to give it a try and start making some sales in 2024! Brilliant ❤️❤️❤️

[@hannahebeling]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sroy9789]

Does this gradient effect print properly on DTG shirts?

[@laurachevrette8060]

I have put a design like this together but I am afraid I won't be able to keep up w demand. How do you make 200 designs a day without having delayed orders?

[@funstuff1728]

I have the same question.

[@Jeniveve]

Set realistic processing times. Adjust as you go. push them out further if you have problems keeping up with demand. You constantly have to tweak. Eventually, you might have to hire help. I wouldn’t worry about it too much right now if it isn’t currently problem.

[@andyanderson841]

This is very cool, I think the part that will be tough is once everyone starts doing it it will all look the same by everyone so will be tough to sell them if everyone is doing the same thing.

[@RickyDrown]

wow, great video. thanks so much

This is genius. I currently sell aesthetic/artistic home decor (Printify + Etsy), so no apparel and wrong niche... but I want to try it so badly. Don't want to open a new shop... maybe just make a section just for the shirts ha?

Hi Hannah! Great video! I just tried making this type of shirt for Amazon Merch and it said the upload size was too big. It's around 34,000 KB. I'm so mad, because it looked great. Any ideas? Thanks!

[@ValeriaMilesi]

Can you show how to actually put the design on a T shirt and order it? Am ordering as a gift, not to sell it on website so not sure how to use Primify or Amazon for this!!

Why do you not “Optimize Quality” in Kittl when you download? Not necessary?

Thanks a lot for this Great tutoriel Hannah . I have a question about creative fabrica , there is an offer of 47 $ /year .shall i take it ? is it a good deal ? or it s better to buy graphics without subscription ? thanks a lot for replying me. 2nd Question: if i have to choose as a biginner between kittle or creative fabrica (subscription) what shall i choose ? Thanks in advance 6 best regards.

[@salmasaad198]

thanks, but which POD provider offers the shirts people sell these ones on? they're different with longer sleeves than regular tshirts...

[@niceice07]

If you were to make a general type of design for Merch for something like a hobby in this style - what would you recommend in terms of keywords for this type of design? are people searching for "bootleg shirt" or is there something else?

[@hannahebeling]

I would definitely also suggest using keywords like, grunge, vintage, 90s, etc!

[@pioshelby7611]

Are these custom shirts? Do you just upload this as is without offering the chance to change the name?

Hi Hannah I cannot for the life of me, make your Kittl code work. Has it expired?

[@hannahebeling]

It shouldn't have, but two suggestions you could try. This is for the monthly pro plan. Not sure if it will work for the year up front. Also, try lowercase letters instead. If neither of those work, let me know and I will reach out to the Kittl team.

[@jenniferwildman2083]

​@hannahebeling I signed up for Kittl using your code. I only got 1/2 off for 1 month. It says next month I'll be charged the full price. You said it would be 50% for life? This would be so amazing if I could keep getting 50% off
