Thanks for the video, I have watched a few of yours and appreciate the honesty and good info

[@shimmymorris1]

I appreciate that!

[@45alamo]

Appreciate ALL your videos! Thank you Shimmy!

[@brianjackson3954]

Thank you for the Thursday through Monday, Check. I’ve been searching for this metric for a long time.

[@antpritch]

Thank you Mister Shim.

[@eden8817]

Im trying to decide which platform to sell on, this has given me some great pointers in my research, thank you! New sub 🐇

[@shimmymorris1]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@CoachLovinaRobinson-g1t]

Great video and thank you for giving back

[@Withamorproject]

That was a really good video with helpful tips. Thanks!

[@K-Gig]

Run a clothing company! I love that mindset.

[@shimmymorris1]

Yes!!!

[@RadicalBotany1]

My biggest concern is that people will steal my artwork. I have a friend, a great graphic artist, who uploaded her designs to Zazzle and Red Bubble and her images have been stolen and republished as their own. She has had a hard time getting the POD companies to honor her copyright. Very disturbing.

[@akshayjadhav657]

Is there any solution to avoid this?

[@charcharabler]

I can't earn in redbubble

[@Paul-yk7ds]

That sucks, but in many online business models, copycats are inevitable part of it. Even if people don't rip off your exact design files, they will steal your ideas more broadly. KZbinrs rip off each others' thumbnails, musicians rip off each others' melodies, etc. The best solution is to just not worry about it, and build your brand as someone who is constantly putting out MANY great designs, and your audience will come to know that you are the real GOAT, and the others are just copying/following you. You'll always have a stream of new best-sellers that the copycats can't keep up with, and you won't waste your time trying to stop them, or even worse, sitting on the sidelines saying "I'm not gonna start because I don't want people to steal my designs."

[@elizabethg7806]

She should contact an IP lawyer to get solid advice as to what to do. So should you. :)

[@shimmymorris1]

This is a real drawback of POD. It doesn’t happen much with shopify as people can’t find your designs so easily. But when it does happen it’s important to not get deterred. Keep making new designs

[@audiobook0nexus]

A great tutorial...Great insights into the business.

[@shimmymorris1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tobijoyce]

Great video! How do you recommend creating content for print on demand when you don’t have every single product on hand to film?

[@seoulfulnotes]

Running a clothing company!! Great video.. Of all the POD vids I've watched this has resonated with me the most! New sub

[@eden8817]

Which did you find had the best quality and pricing for you?

[@londonstar3657]

excellent, Excellent, EXCELLENT VIDEO.!!! GREAT INFORMATION.!!! GREAT TRUTHS.!! YOU'RE AWESOME.!!!

[@shimmymorris1]

Wow thank you so much!

[@NotThatOlivia]

FINALLY: great VIDEO!!!

[@shimmymorris1]

Thank you!!

[@jayplays568]

Excellent info as always! I wanted to ask, when you are listing one of your t-shirts, do you list men's and women's versions separately or do you combine them into one "unisex" listing on your Shopify site? (Assuming you are using the unisex Gildan t-shirt on Printify)

[@Om-gg5tk]

Hi Shimmy, I have an Etsy & Shopify question.. I am planning to open an apparel store for Dog lovers wherein I will be putting designs for Top 19 Top dog breeds in U.S.A and the 20th section would be dedicated to other dog breeds.. Now my question is that Should I only put 1 product that is t-shirts on my store OR Should I rather have 2-3 products (t-shirts, mugs, blankets) under each dog breed section to give the customer more buying options and thereby also increase my Average Order Value? I would appreciate your response, thanks!

[@ThatGreenDayFanPiat]

Hey Shimmy! Great video! Not sure if you've made a video on this already, but could you explain the Figma part on keeping things organized with the different boards and how to see that screen at 6:16? Never done that part before. Much appreciated 🙏🏻

[@milkonous]

Shimmy could you show us examples how you make TokTok ads? I have really no idea how such an ad should look like. Should I buy one of my tshirts and record how I unpack it and show the design to the camera or you just show a few pictures with different designs?

[@IevaJuškevičienė]

He speaks about it in other videos a lot. Either upload videos that are relevant to your niche(for example if you sell bike tshirts,upload viral/interesting videos about biking) and put your webpage in description, dont be too "in the face" with your products OR Film someone or yourself doing viral cool stuff wearing the tshirt

[@shimmymorris1]

Exactly!

[@shimmymorris1]

I would say just try to be creative and see what’s trending on TikTok at the time of posting

[@Ade2bee]

Thank you!

[@shimmymorris1]

You're welcome!

[@BoldlyExplore]

So do use both Printify and swiftPOD?

[@chadlinkhart755]

Do you have to Brand your your name and your logo

[@bhautube]

Great insights

[@shimmymorris1]

Thank you

[@ProshunKhondoker]

I understand that you do not wana start on March on demand, teepublic and places like that but if I am broke that I can not start my shopify shop coz I don't have a US LLC coz I am not a US citizen, what suggestion will you give me?

[@g00dfe11a85]

👋Shimmy, how do you feel about Fourth Wall in comparison to Shopify?

[@gryphnft8129]

I created a Fourth Wall account because it was free. Shopify has way more tools and apps than Fourth Wall. Fourth Wall was created by a content creator. you can tell. Shopify is created for businesses. Shopify has more options to grow your business. Fourth Wall to me is another Amazon Merch or Redbubble.

[@shimmymorris1]

I am waiting for the T-shirts to arrive then I’ll do a full review

[@Mahdi-on9ob]

​@@shimmymorris1Hi, what do you think about building an online store on Fourthwall? Is it comprehensive enough for e-commerce when using Facebook ads? I hope you can make a video on this. Thank you

[@g00dfe11a85]

​@@shimmymorris1 Thanks! Looking forward to your review. Seems great if one can leverage a following that they've amassed, but I wonder how useful it would be for someone that's just beginning. 🤔I'm curious about strategies and such.

[@cupow-drinkware]

Why in the fishing niche, are the POD designs not selling at all but the major fishing brands sell thousands of shirts a day?

[@shimmymorris1]

Fishing designs are definitely selling within pod!

[@automaton111]

They built a brand and a following. After that you can sell them almost anything

[@chrislox1]

What do you think of Etsy 'Pattern?'

[@johngrady3492]

A simple question. Can one person create a POD brand that hits $1MM and higher or does this objective require multiple people?

[@AnnetasticStuff]

What if I have the demand before the product-and it’s not all T-shirts??

[@Samsam-hh6hb]

@shimmy, I am about to start my journey on POD however my only roadblock is coming up with a name. Do you have any advice for me on this please.

[@gurmatkatha]

hey shimmy, i have one problem , why the price of white and black colour is different in prinitify hoodies , black hoodie is 15dollrs expensive ?

[@mirelboca3881]

What happens if Etsy suspend your account after reaching a couple of thousand dollars from sales (to say so), from different motives? They will pay you those money or gives you nothing?

[@la_la_land_twig]

i just started POD, can you share some good price quality suppliers

[@shimmymorris1]

It's all in my 7+ hour course on my channel!

[@AIVectorLabs]

Hi, great video, thanks, but why the Gildan 6400 please? Are the Gil;dan 5000 & B&C 3001 not the most popular? I am very new to this, and it's a bit confusing! Is it perhaps because of the price vs quality?

[@shimmymorris1]

it's what we use. I have tested almost all of them and it was the best from a quality and price standpoint

[@AIVectorLabs]

@@shimmymorris1 that's very helpful, thank you

[@lawrenceosh]

Which supplier on Printify would you use: Swiftpod or Monster digital?

[@shimmymorris1]

We use swiftpod

[@lawrenceosh]

@@shimmymorris1 I would like to know which city or state in the US you target in your ad. And in your experience, which city or state is profitable? Have you ever tried Google ads?

[@_B3ater]

Shimmy, can you tell why you choose Swiftpod instead of Monster digital?

[@shimmymorris1]

I just preferred them. More sizes. Both are very good options

[@Niher_Ranjan_Roy]

Hello, Shimmy, Hope all is well with you. Thank you for your informative videos. Can you please make a video like how to create a shopify site for POD? Please.....

[@shimmymorris1]

Yup! Planned that on the plane the other day

[@DoveyMinds]

Hello! Just wanted to ask: Is your community only for people who start? I am more about how to grow my pod and make first sale, so will it be worth for me? Just want to know if I can make most of 99 a month :)

it's for everyone... but have you had any sales? $99 really isn't a lot when you factor in what you get

$99 a month for someone just starting out in business is far too much. I suppose you don't have to sell any t-shirts now lol

[@shimmymorris1]

@@DroneFlyer I’ve started many businesses in the last 10 years. Business cost thousands and thousands to start. POD has been the lowest cost to start. $99 is really not a lot when you factor in the help you get and the support to go that much faster. But each to their own
