How to Start an Art Print Shop Online with Printful

[@jubestube99]

BEST ART ADVICE I’ve seen thank you so much Kayla 🥰 Now at the age of 63 I want to start my own art channel knowing that ‘being real’ is fine rather than all polished and perfect 😜 wish me luck….

[@mariedunn3774]

I always learn something from you about the business of being a working artist, thank you for sharing.

[@judymyers1934]

Great content Kayla, thank you for sharing!! I am doing dropshipping as a side hustle (started with almost nothing), and it's paying off last few months. I have really good income that I am considering to quit my regular job because I don't really like it xD. Consistency and hard work will always pay off at the end (with a little bit of winnerzilla).

Beautiful Kayla! You inspire me 🎨 Nice video, thank you!

[@catsartlife]

Thank Kayla. I love your authenticity. I am an artist too and I am starting to do drop shipping. thanks for all the info.

[@vijaypraveen82]

Thank you you so much. I love the way you talk😊.

[@TheArtofSaraSokol]

Love your videos! Learning so much from you as I plan for my Art channel. Sincerely! Thank you!

[@chelsieyiouvanoglou5389]

This was so helpful - thank you for sharing! I have had my artwork on another website for some time, but am feeling stuck. I would love to see a video on how you create your mockups, and how you market your website.

Holy cow, girl! Your subs are soarin! So proud of you! Your artwork is fantastic!

[@KaylaCarlileArt]

Thank you so much, I can’t believe how much this channel has grown lately! 🥹

[@NailGirlInMontana]

@@KaylaCarlileArt ikr?! I can't remember how many you had when I subscribed, but it wasn't a crazy amount!🤯 I started a nail channel but it's not taking off yet. We'll see if it does. Nail art is still art! Just on a smaller canvas!😘😘

[@sherion80]

Great! Thank you for this insight!

[@artofandreosmith]

Another awesome video!

[@monicavazquez2291]

So helpful, thanks!

[@kphill228]

Thank you for this video. I have been considering offering prints of my art. I had several people ask for prints, one as recent as today. This is valuable info. My next question in the process is how are you photographing your art? Do you take the pictures yourself with a camera or hire a professional ? Thank you for the information.

[@KaylaCarlileArt]

I think offering prints is a great way to make revenue from your paintings long after you complete them, and also reaches a new price demographic too! I personally take all my print photos on my iPhone. Sometimes if I need a touch-up I will edit them in a program on my computer called Corel Painter.

[@goodgrief888]

Very helpful video. Would you consider making a video on how to light your artwork for websites and prints? I’m having glare on my paintings and it’s negatively affecting my sales. Love your content!

[@KaylaCarlileArt]

Thank you so much, yes I will make a video on that soon! 😃

[@TRONMAGNUM2099]

I just got this channel randomly recommended to me. Your art looks great. Sadly, I suck at it. Maybe the algorithm decided I needed to order a print to hang up in my living room?

[@TriniRoyQuiReyes]

Thank you for sharing.

[@KaylaCarlileArt]

You’re welcome! 😀

[@WendyDewarHughes]

Great overview!

[@Gi-fz8rk]

Your awesome! Thx!

[@stephendorr]

Have you had any quality issues with printful? I love the idea of POD, and maybe I’m overthinking (a common occurrence 😅), but quality has been a concern for me when choosing a vendor.

[@keithatkinson8087]

Kayla what's your website site do you have an online shop and do you ship to Australia

[@kratonmajapahit7386]

Does printful also show centimetres measurement for resizing your art? Blessings

[@latteoatmeal7807]

thanks for the info but i've sooo many questions. I've been selling printables on Etsy & the I.P theft is now out of control, I've had everything stolen, so i want to migrate onto POD but looking at this is a bit confusing, espec' on how to use a one size print for all the different ratio's. But ok, no biggie. The one that I just can't seem to get any answers to though is - how do i create a gallery wall/or set of 3? All the money is in the sets, I don't really sell that many single prints. All the info on multiple items in one sale is about t.shirts or hoodies, they're covering two different clothing items. How would I do it with a gallery wall? Is that possible? thanks

[@marcelsanchez566]

I want to sell prints but I still think about the logistics regarding shipping. Living in an island is a bit complicated.

[@jipsee70]

I've currenlty hit a wall desperately seeking a website/platform for fine art photos to dropship, so thank you so much for this info! But I'm also in search of a website/platform just to get started, then heard you say, "Weebly on my Square website". Is that... sorry, can you clarify? I'm familiar with Weebly and Square, Square Up, Square Space... but not sure what you meant. thanks!!

[@KaylaCarlileArt]

I was using Weebly originally, and they got purchased/acquired by Square. I did recently decide to switch over to Squarespace and I am loving it so far!

[@soarpurpose]

I do this here in New Zealand. My printer adds my business card to orders if I request to. The problem is, that shipping overseas is expensive. I could potentially use a printer based say in the USA but then, that could also create a tax nightmare.

[@pjwalgam82]

Are those prices for canvas prints or just paper?

[@alicia217]

How do you know what the print ends up being like? Ie quality, colour being true etc. I ask as even printing myself, the colour are not true so i have to mess with them to get the print to reflect the original.

[@LisaSchulanerFineArt]

Don't you have to deal with returns and customer service?

[@missrebeccadance]

How do you market yourself? I know you have the youtube channel and other platforms. Is that it, or do you attend art markets or festivals, etc?

[@KaylaCarlileArt]

95% of my sales come from social media, but I am also a vendor at the local Saturday Market! In my beginning years I sold a lot of art there.

[@jennidestefanoart]

Thanks for this! Question, I sold prints on another site, I set my price then when a print sold they took 50% of my profits for advertising, which was not disclosed that they did this. Does Printful do the same? Thanks!

[@KaylaCarlileArt]

Hmmmm, I’ve never heard of or seen that expense with Printful. I don’t think they do!

[@jennidestefanoart]

@@KaylaCarlileArt good to know! Thank you!

[@latteoatmeal7807]

I am having such a nightmare, I've uploaded an A1, but I can't alter the ratio for it to fit with the other sizes on Printful, the 16 x 20 inch is way out. It will cut either too much off on the bottom or the top for it to fit. Do you have any advice? How do you either resize or upload another size? Can I only use one size for all the different ratio's? How to 'unlock' the size so that I can alter it? There doesn't seem to be a way to do that? Help, please!

[@latteoatmeal7807]

nevermind, it can't be done. I'm not impressed with this with Printful, I wonder if I can on Printify.

i love you, but you didn't show the end :/ Can you make a full process more detailed video?
