Hi Hannah- Thank you for this!

We are not telling people is that Printify charges the seller first. So it is not risk free. Imagine if 100 clients buy products from you. Printify will charge you first before the money from the clients gets into your account.

[@BirdsPawsandMore]

Thanks for this comment. I watched another video that explained the cash flow risk you describe. It is a really important item to consider. Thanks for posting your comment to highlight this consideration and risk.

[@Thelawsofvitalityandhealth]

@@BirdsPawsandMore It is not the about the cashflow risk but people present POD as it does not require investment. Which is completely false. The Printing company charges you first and you have to wait for the money from the client.

[@hannahebeling]

Yes, definitely something to be aware of! I have several videos that talk more in depth about all the true startup costs of POD.

[@faithmindbodysoul2001]

thank you so much for your input! I will never use Printiful and find one that doesn’t charge me first! 😢

Nice video and useful Hannah! Quick question. For mug price at $12.99 is that incl. the shipping fee from printify or is that added in somewhere else? I plan to start a POD co in Q3 in addition to the handmade store I’ve been working on for a year.

[@user-tg1el7jc3b]

Thank you so much . Morocco.

[@johndavis8988]

Hi Hannah. I am thinking of starting an Etsy shop but would like more information about the upcoming changes. One of those i think will be to do with only using mockups from the items supplier. Can you do a video about the changes. Thank you

[@MarciaWilson-lf1yi]

Thank you Hannah! Great video as always.

[@wendyboland]

Any hints on how to use Kittl as quickly as you do - I can't line up the designs or check the alignment because the Settings board keeps coming over the top of the design - you do it so well

Hi Great video. Still learning So we don’t have to make any changes on the images that are ai generated? As I know kittl asked us too in the past to make some changes to images before selling

[@zofo264]

[@tamikasalkey-hi4el]

Thanks much Hannah for this video and for the cross niche guide. I am looking forward to using the information to help my POD business. I notice you did not research whether there was demand for this hyper specific product. Is that okay? Or should we always always check to see if there is demand first? Thanks again.

[@hannahebeling]

Thanks so much for watching! It definitely never hurts to take a few extra minutes to see the demand on a new idea!

[@bytwyzz]

Hannah !!!

[@corinnec4450]

Is it ok that the mug mock-up photo from Kittl is different than what is on Printify (different handle)? Have you had any complaints from customers when they get a different mug than the mock-up?

[@byushugundan1714]

Best video

[@inesdelgadogomez1705]

Muchas gracias, excelente tutorial no entiendo bien el idioma pero conozco la estrategia lo pude entender.

[@morielmoshe3138]

thanks for a great video. when printify sends the item to the customer, what does the packaging look like? does it say it comes from printify? is there a way to private label their shipping box and labels so that they don't mention it was created by them? thanks

[@user-dk2zt7zr8t]

sadly, Kittl isn't working right now -- server issues. Hopefully they'll be up and running again soon -- can't wait to try

[@LifeHasLessons]

Question, I’m having an issue with editing only black color T-shirts with white color text without changing the rest of the T-shirt colors with a black text when I go edit specific color and press safe product and Printify it changes the color white on the T-shirt colors instead of only changing the black color T-shirt

[@elizabethbourquin8721]

Thanks so much - super informative! 💜 Which kittl level do you recommend? Pro? Expert?

[@hannahebeling]

I think you can totally start with pro and upgrade if you eventually need.

[@wandawoods]

This is a great tutorial and I feel like you can cross niche all day long but how do you know people are searching for these items to get them sell????

[@user-ft4kf5tt6c]

Hi Hannah, I've just downloaded your career / hobby niching pages and I just noticed that "Beekeeping" is listed twice right across from each other. Just thought you should know.

[@PeggyOliveiraMSW]

Thank you. It seems you have the customer pay for shipping. You haven't found the high shipping prices to be a barrier to someone purchasing? I've gone back and forth about including shipping or not. 🤔

[@melissaadjout2492]

Thank you for the tutorial...it's great but i have a question:how do i get paid on etsy or amazon print on demand when i I don't have a bank account (i'm not from america) i only have a PayPal or is it okay with any bank account from any country? Locking forward to see your answers

[@Pete-GR]

Hi Hannah! If I want to sell shirts and mugs, should I open two different stores, one for mugs and another for shirts, so two total stores on Etsy and MERCH? PS Thank you for all of the incredible info. I hope to start making some $ soon and made learning all this much easier!

[@JeffJaymes]

So market research isn’t always the way to go? Sometimes you’re just throwing things at Etsy to see what sticks?

[@PattyChafatelli]

Ok so stupid question...once I have the photo and name from the customer, do I have to send the design to printify to make and ship or is it something you upload to Etsy and send to printify. My concern is the 'how' and also the need to be available all the time to create these custom designs. I am probably missing the obvious but had to ask

[@josephinethomas2403]

Hello! What is the name of the POD company you use? I couldn't t hear properly? Thank you ... Josephine Thomas.

[@ProfitCatalystSynergy]

Hey Hannah, thanks for sharing this video and all your videos. How do you create the graphics for your videos? Could you please make a video about that explaining everything?

[@hannahebeling]

That would be super fun! I'd love to in the future start a channel with more tips about starting a youtube channel.

[@mojolotto7774]

Yes please great idea

[@morielmoshe3138]

why is the cartoon style clipart not available on my end? is it a pro feature?

[@Sicariousgamer]

The cross niche idea is awesome I like mid journey coupled with photopea, but after watching the video looks like I’m switching to kittl😂

[@Mdr3e]

Hi and thank you for the video. So, I followed all these steps, but then when my friend tries to purchase the mug, he can't. After he checks out, they told him that his order can't be completed and they're going to refund him

[@deborahmiller-wolf4254]

I am trying to follow along with Hanna but I don't have option to click on image styles.

[@YogaStarGreece]

What does it mean when the edited price showes a loss in the profits? Does this only work for US citizens?

[@hannahebeling]

Especially if you will be using text, you’ll still have to check any phrases or keywords you use in your listing/design.

[@adon1124]

I have learned a lot from you so Thank You. I get a bit bummed out when I read about you having huge success with a certain product and I can’t even get sales on my items. I feel I price them right. so of course I am so happy for your success I just wish I could sell $3000 a month on mugs or totes Do you do shop reviews for a fee? Thank You again for your videos and knowledge.

[@adon1124]

I completely apologize for that comment. I didn’t mean that I’m bummed out that you’re doing so well I’m thrilled for you and for all the successful sellers. I’m just struggling no sob story but single parent two kids and I’m trying to support a house and like everybody else, everything is tight and I thought I could, do this and make some money I’m not looking for six figures. I know that that’s probably crazy but I just see all the videos from Etsy Seller and you know they say I just made $10,000 a month selling this one T-shirt or I’m sure you know what I’m talking about just seeing thevideo headlines and just hoping it’s gonna come our way. I don’t know. I’m probably not making much sense. I apologize again. I didn’t mean anything negative by it.

I have gotten views and visits but no sales. I use Canva and have purchased a year membership so don’t want to spend money on Ki right

[@John-gy1vv]

Hello I had a question, if the Etsy fee is 2.00 and cost of mug is 4.00, 6$ total you sell for 12.99 you profit 6$? I’m confused, isn’t that just your money back?

Just found your channel and subscribed. I tried opening a second etsy shop for my digital products and they shut it down before I could post my first product. I did use a different email. Am I missing something about opening a second shop?

You can open a second shop but Etsy are being odd in that their bots are shutting them down in minutes. Have you tried appealing their decision? If not, try doing so.

[@user-qc2cy7ey1c]

Thank you :)@@ifeifesi

[@NiaLaLa_V]

Shutting down new accounts is something a lot of online businesses do, to combat bots. Video games do it too and we have to appeal and prove we didn't cheat when we killed the new boss sooner than they believe we could legally.

Excuse my ignorance...maybe I'm overthinking. Are Printify and Kittl intertwined? I wrote Printify in my notes and then got lost when she mentioned Kittl. Can someone simplify?

[@hannahebeling]

They are two separate things. Kittl is just the platform I use to make my designs.

[@mattchristie1810]

Great ... but as someone who's just started on Etsy, I'm aware listing fees are minimal. But when you start to throw hundreds of templates at these things, listing fees soon add up with no guarantee of sales. Is there somewhere better to list for free? There's a definite loss there at the start and I don't know how many out there are making the big numbers claimed on these videos. It may be possible, with a lot of time and a little luck, but the majority I think will not get so far.

[@MsTeryStalker]

Yeah every 100 listings is $60 per year. I have 300+, so that's $240. Making sales doesn't equal profit either. I price my mugs at $15.95 each and have the buyer pay for shipping and if I profit $5, it's amazing. But let's be real, if you're charging $20+ for a mug, it'd better be pretty special.

[@vitttini]

Does your course include how to sell mugs? I am not interested in selling Tshirts.

[@hannahebeling]

I have a number of lessons included about selling mugs. It is definitely apparel heavy, but much of the foundational modules teach strategies that apply to all pod products.
