How to Place Mockups, SEO, Title & Tags on Etsy | Start a T-shirt Business Part 3

[@superbvajhuvina]

I never realized how important mockups and SEO can be for a shop’s success. This is a goldmine of info, especially for beginners like me. Thank you for being so thorough!

[@kimmatura3564]

You are the only channel going through each step. No one has shared the mock up part previously! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@bridgetlarabee9141]

So true! I was getting so frustrated because everyone made it seem so easy until I tried to do it myself and realized so many small steps were never addressed!

[@Jazlow]

The MOST informative videos I have ever watched when it comes to POD and etsy. Really amazing how you give us such clear, step-by-step instructions for the whole process. Thank you for doing this!

[@itsheatherstudio]

Thank you so kindly for the thoughtful comment! I appreciate the feedback and am trying to value pack my videos the best I can. :)

[@courtneytravis2448]

10000% agree

[@brandonblue5388]

me as well!

[@jnjhawaii5879]

Agreed!

[@Kingdom-Content]

Absolutely! This is saving my butt big time. I didn’t realize how little I knew until I started this process lol I’m so glad google and Heather Studios doesn’t cost $ lol

[@glindachambers2558]

I looked at this twice...very informative. Thank you so very much. 😇🤗

[@itsheatherstudio]

Thanks for watching and you are so welcome!❤️❤️❤️

[@cichris]

OMG I didn’t know you have KZbin! I’m so happy!

[@douglasradcliffe981]

The part where you added the long\short key chain words and the tags was super helpful so thank you Heather.

[@umeshgutte7081]

Heather !!! You are an inspiration for new comers like me in POD business. Thanks for sharing 💐😊🙏

[@KMoneytime]

First time watching one of your videos. This was awesome! Thank you

[@geneeddleman2132]

Best description of proper Etsy SEO I've ever seen or heard! Love it!

[@jarlyncartagena5114]

My husband and I are totally new to this market and I just want to say that you're the GOAT! Thank you soooo much!

[@linktinhpark7338]

Searched for pod but 100% impressed by her beauty

[@jtorresdigitalyworld]

Heather you’re crushing it with these videos! Very helpful!

[@anapilarshaw2823]

Heather, this is the BEST video I've seen so far on how to create listings on Etsy. I have uploaded my first two listings yesterday and now I have more information and the confidence to keep going. Thank you so much! P.S. I'm going to join your FB group, too.

[@ExpressionsXo]

Thank you for such great content! Your voice is so clear and very motivational :)

[@sudsygeminiASMR]

Please keep sharing this channel is very genuine unlike some other KZbinrs who only create content titles for views and never show us how they do it and how they achieve it and thank thank U! I’ve already sent request for the 30day challenge can wait to learn more on how I can start this journey this year. Would be so great if you could also educate us on the listing fees transaction fees etc, thanks!

[@Realcolorsofegypt]

One of the best Etsy-related channels on KZbin because you describe everything in detail. I currently have 20 listings so far and now I'm motivated to complete the 30-day challenge. I get a couple views a day but no sales yet. I think I'm really good with my SEO and tags but I think I need more listings. Can you also do a video explaining how to properly read the Etsy data? Thanks so much, luv.

[@itsheatherstudio]

Yesss! Love to hear that you're doing the challenge and I hope success finds you quickly.

[@brandonblue5388]

Thats a great idea

[@DigitalPlannerCo]

I see your Brita water bottle there in the background! Aren’t they great?! Everybody should have one! Great video! Keep up the good work chick! I’m excited to see the next one…

[@debbieteixeira1617]

So informative and helpful! Thanks!

[@JudyRoediger-s1c]

Wonderful, wonderful lots of useful information. Thank you

[@bellajune320]

I requested to join your group on FB :) Thank you for the tips and explanations. I never sell my tees I think it’s my SEo.

[@kevinamarsanaa]

Hey Heather, I wanted to know if you uploaded the size charts on your websites. Thank you.

[@jnso0011]

I LOVE your videos!!! Can’t wait for the in-depth SEO video! Thank you for all you do!

[@sonialau530]

Awesome video! Very detailed and useful information, thank you so much for your sharing. I'm about to start setting up my store for the very first time. I look forward to watching some of your other videos to learn how to be successful. Thank you, Heather!

[@crystalnelson1828]

your Awesome Thank you I am trying to find where you talk about putting in the SKU number

[@lindamkhabela9754]

Crystal clear and informative

[@jnjhawaii5879]

You are the only one that shared how to do this!! I really needed this. You answered all of the unasked questions I had to even think about getting started. Thank you so much!

[@aliciaandersen8373]

Such a great channel! Thank you for all of the great info!

[@my3sneezes]

This is priceless thank you so much for your content

[@geneeddleman2132]

You are an amazing teacher! Attention to detail, but never boring; great voice; and the camera loves you! And I am loving your content! some of the stuff I;ve been trying to find, and others either skip it, talk around it, or assume that we all know it. PLEASE keep up the good work! I have 2 questions, if anyone can answer for me. 1. is their a reason you buy and build your mockups manually instead of using Placeit? 2. I've tried using Canva to build my simpler designs, but I've not found a way to save the finished design to a library file where I can pick it up and import it into Printify or PF without losing the transparent background. So I end up copying to clipboard, then pasting it into a new design file in GIMP where I can save it as a PNG with transparency. very redundant and a lot of extra work. What am I missing?

[@mariesparkleygem]

Hi Very informative video. I just found your channel and wanted to expand my Etsy Shop doing this. My question to you, since I am new at this-When a customer wants to purchase a tshirt and picks the color out in your Etsy shop- How is this order customized for the customer? Can you do a video on that part? Does the company that creates the order ship the item directly to the customer with you name on it? or do they send the completed item to you to send to the customer? Thank you

[@sudan47]

I got to say. They are gorgeous!!

[@donnam3428]

Hi heather great videos could you explain how you get your design onto the mockup in Canva when I do it it takes over the whole image. I resized the mockup to 2000x2000. Keep up the great videos

[@rcstrunk]

Great videos! You are very easy to listen to and I appreciate your detailed advice. I have wanted to start a print on demand business for several months but was feeling overwhelmed with all the different KZbin videos about getting started. You have inspired and motivated me! Silly question....what did you consider when choosing your business name? Thanks so much! Marilyn

[@carlinewman5572]

You made this feel doable. Thank you!

[@tasij5470]

Thank you so much, I am truly thankful for your video.

[@john-cole1136]

I am nearly 18 and am so excited to start my etsy store. I love your account and I am using your callendar to prep ahed of time. Love the videos!!!

[@maggiemagsbond83]

Love your channel! You should make a video on setting up shipping. Totally the most confusing part for me at least haha!

[@suanneanderson1711]

HALLELUJAH YOU ARE MY HERO! I am going through all of your video since I found you! You gave me so much more hope than and have answered so many questions! I am doing everything I possibly can to get this figured out and started. I really wanted to get this going so I can a least get a few happy reviews for fourth quarter. You are helping so much thank you thank you thank you! I’ll keep watching :)

[@markvanderwel4783]

Thank you so much for clarifying your finances.

[@blinddog4288]

Absolutely beautiful and good content 😉

[@JamieDamiani]

Where is part 1 and 2. I am totally new to all of this. Thanks!

[@Eandcostudio]

Hey friend!! Amazing video again thanks so so much!! I post everyday on Etsy I know that’s really what it takes to get those sales for sure I still haven’t jumped on POD bandwagon but hope to soon! Much love Eve

[@itsheatherstudio]

Hi freind! Yes POD is a great way to go. I know a few stores that do hand made + POD and it really works well so it's definitely something to give a try with! Thanks for always watching, love hearing from you

[@Eandcostudio]

@@itsheatherstudio thank you 🙏 joined your FB group too yay 😁

[@yolandasotolopez]

If you choose more than one color to sell, does printify software fill out the different colors in etsy (does it self populate?) .. or do you have to personally input all the sizes and colors yourself.

[@Jennerwtx1]

Hi Heather, i stumbled upon your channel the other day and have binge-watched all of your videos! So I’ve heard different opinions on the title wording such as “don’t keyword stuff” “don’t repeat words, make it a long run on sentence” “Don’t use apostrophes or hyphens”. Ugh. I spent a day rewording some of my titles. Sometimes I can’t think of 140 characters or 13 long tail keywords. 🤣

[@thesoulsign1]

Love This !

[@sedonashaver1414]

This was super helpful! Thank you

[@JoseBYOB]

Very very thorough. Great job.

[@celestialnightshade6658]

Hi! Did you ever make another video dedicated to SEO and keywords?

[@Wonderisima]

My Goodness! Now Your group has 16.5K Members! I just requested to join!

[@ericajones4276]

Thanks for this. I noticed that you did not add a product partner. Do you not have them listed?

[@victorianeldenesoto2588]

Thanks for the videos. I can not understand what you are saying regarding the MockUp suggestions. All I can understand you saying is Dollymicks. What are the other two? Thank you.

[@sugarbeezllc]

You put up a mock-up for the white T-shirt, but what about the other colors in the listing? Do you only put up 1 pic for each listing? TIA!!

[@beautybeads7285]

Thanks. You shared your favorite tshirt. Can you please do the same for sweatshirt and hoodie?

[@BuzzSky]

Best info !

[@Becomingamazing1]

Great video. Thank you. After uploading the mock up on Canva it disappears when I drag my design onto it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Di

[@auntbusy3899]

Thanks for the video. I am just starting out and don’t even know what a mockup is! Just kidding, I do understand that, but its not clear, do you buy the mockups at Etsy? Do you upload them to canva, and then download from Canva to Etsy? So many questions, I know. Thanks

[@sumaiyahqureshi8188]

hey been watching your tutorials since a couple of days. And you are honestly so helpful and teach everything step-by-step! In the future I might take your course.

[@janiekrentz261]

Hi there Do you have add Printify as a partner in the Etsy listing?

[@fleurdelune8172]

Hi! I like your content so much, you are straight and I appreciate that. I think we can be good friends, in other life, since we are from different countries. I like your vibe 😉. Good 🤞

[@itsheatherstudio]

Thank you for watching and following along, more to come soon!

[@ranaabid2918]

Well done 👍

[@Jess-tj7ve]

So you don’t have to worry about shipping or anything that’s what printify is for ? I have printful do you think that’s fine ? So basically as long as you have merchandise in your store or it didn’t sell you don’t owe anything right ? And if your products sell or sell out will Etsy notify you ?

[@ricky8567]

awesome video. thanks. is there a way to set up specific seo words and put that towards 10-15 listings at one time? instead of doing them one by one

[@MileG15]

Hey girl, I wanted to ask you something about the color options, so on printify you choose like 3 or 4 colors and my question is that when you upload the item to etsy do you add more colors or do you keep the same colors that you added on printify? Also, what colors do you recommend besides white and black?

[@nicolelindley3839]

do you have to list a production partner?? could you explain exactly what to put in those fields? TIA! :)

[@nadeneparker9142]

Thank you for another great video Heather! I noticed that you only uploaded one photo for your Teacher t-shirt listing. Do you feel one photo is enough? What could you fill the other photo slots with? Thank you :)

[@arinagreager4228]

Hi Heather! I love tour content. Have you looked into using placeit for mock-ups?

[@angelalynn596]

Thank you 😊

[@lauraschenke2751]

Thank you for posting informative videos! 🙏🏼 Quick Question: Once an order does come through does it go straight to printify since it’s already connected or is there something you have to do in between to get it printed and shipped to the customer from Etsy?

[@ambastewart4840]

as long as you have your etsy store connected to your printing account, orders will go straight to printify :)

[@serenditymuse]

So on printify they show you exact area they can print and placement for different sizes. Also the aspect ratio and dimensions available are fixed.. Is there a way instead of eyeballing to have a bunch of designs in proper printify size and mark somehow mockups for exact alighnment needed? That would be a lot quicker I think than eyeballing. Also if there was a frame for the t-shirt itself then I could even write a program to position a lot of designs within that frame properly. The more automation the better, right? Do you know of anything like this?

[@Jess-tj7ve]

I am just starting out should I start with four shirts and see how it goes ? I saw your teacher t shirts? So do I do like one shirt in multiple colors and see if it sales ? What is the 999 I see is that the number of t shirts your selling ?

[@westseamermaid]

Hi Heather - thanks so much for the content! I really hope this model works. I'm just wondering what you think about mockups and models. Do you think using a gendered model would deter buyers that don't associate with the displayed model? Would you recommend just using flat-lay mock-ups? Thanks for considering this!

[@ivvygreene5870]

Hi, You only added one color mock-up even though your design comes in different color options? Does this affect sales for the other colors? And it’s only a female wearing the shirt.. does that affect sales if men want to buy the shirt? Thanks!

[@dulanjanawa8543]

Hi! Heather, is it worth starting an Etsy POD shop in 2022?

[@only1lisalove]

My question is how to add my mock ups to my Etsy page AFTER I have already posted on Printify. Do I need to delete the entire listing and start over?

[@gin.and.j]

Hi Heather! Did you ever create the free sizing chart for download on your website!?

[@kriscelia]

So when you create your own mockup and post it on your shop, how does it get connected to the print shop like printify?

[@Breesan]

Thank you for sharing! Love the content ❤️ How do you recommend pricing items? Lower price point and no free shipping or higher prices with free shipping? It looks to me like most shirts I've seen go for around 21-23$ at checkout.

[@angeliottun1901]

Awesome video, you teach well. I have liked and subscribed to your channel. I am a graphic designer, I do print on t-shirts and sew t-shirts. I use Printify and add my t-shirt to my Etsy shop but could not complete the process because I live in Nigeria. Please help, what can I do to be in the esty shop?

[@itsheatherstudio]

I would contact Etsy or Printify and see what is needed to be a seller in your country. It sounds like an integration issue but I do not work for either companies so I cannot give further information, again, I would seek out help from the companies directly.

[@TechZee]

Nice videos how much is your profit margins using printify and do you use mostly the tags suggested by Etsy,I heard about alura ,have you used it for your listing??

[@WbrookeL]

Do you have to individually edit listings when things like shipping times need to be updated for holiday seasons?

[@hannahjoy4857]

Does repeating "teacher" in the tags help, or should we use that space to add new words?

[@konitasasraku4674]

Hi Heather, I was wondering. How do I set up the Printify store? Do I do it before the Esty store?

[@itsheatherstudio]

Hi Konita, You can register Printify before or after Etsy. Sometimes you will need to upload a 'fake' listing as digital to start on Etsy as your first product. I currently do not have a video but I'm sure it's on KZbin somewhere else and then if you back track to this video it will make more sense! :) Heather

[@kristinkeller5705]

I'm just seeing this video. My Canva is a little different. How do I change it from 2000 x 2000? How do I even get to the screen to upload my mockup?

[@mohammadhosseinnajafzadeh4066]

Please make a video about making a mockup shop on Etsy

[@markc121070]

Hello Heather. Thank you for your helpful and informative videos. I have a question and hope you or someone reading this can help. I am new to this, located in Romania and do not have a registered business as yet. I was hoping to try out POD before starting a business, to see if it would work for me, before investing. I see that they request a VAT number but since I don't have a business... I don't have a VAT number. Do I have to have one in order to start on Printify, Etsy, Etc? I hope you will have time to respond. Thanks in advance for any help offered.

[@gracedesign2022]

You don't really need one for Etsy Shopify dropshipping and all. I can help setup up account for your business.

[@miche_and_cheese]

Do you have any tips for placing left chest designs?

[@toddletrails1016]

DO you have a link for Etsy for the first 40 free listings?

[@adon1124]

Hi I love learning from you. In the title you put Spanish Teacher or English Teacher but your t shirt didn’t reference either of those and I thought you said Etsy ranks listings for item matching title. Hope this makes sense. Maybe you were just giving an example by putting in English or Math or Spanish. I just want to make sure Im doing this correctly. Thank You so much for all your videos. Alysse Donahue

[@tammycook6545]

Does DPI matter when uploading to Printify to check design?

[@Couponmom90]

When I’m in printify I’m not seeing the option to delete their standard mock-ups, I also don’t have an option to add a photo. Is this only available in the printify paid versions?

[@lana-onlinebusiness]

But what if our tshirt has different shape of sleeve? should we buy different mockup?

[@vecchio87]

I can't find the link to access the Facebook group, could you insert it? thank you very much

[@inscrutable67]

I didnt see the link for the sizing chart you mentioned

[@sonz4205]

When I click the image for the Mock-up, it completely becomes the new image, removing the mock-up. I’m using the integrated Canva mock-ups mostly, for now 😊. Thank you x

[@ReyDawid]

yyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!

[@kristencox1762]

Is there a way to have it set up to change the color of the shirt on the screen when a customer clicks through the color choices? Sometimes I have a couple different grays and they wanted to be able to tell the difference

[@blottobrain]

What's the link to your Etsy shop?

[@christiannilsen2835]

[@kathrynanne3769]

which graphic design tools do you use to make your print on demand products?

[@thisisyoutubehandle]

What is the difference between using bought mockups and placeit mockups? I bought one mockup put realized that even in photoshop creating that natural feeling that Placeit has, was impossible
