Hi Shimmy and team, I discovered you in September after searching for several weeks for online work-from-home opportunities and found that POD was the best choice. Indeed it was, as there is enormous potential in this business, and all 10 points you mentioned are accurate. Since then, I've been studying, designing, and uploading my creations. It takes considerable time, and I know I won't reach $10,000 in sales after just one month. As you said, this is our business, and thus our time is well invested. I feel 2025 will be a great year, and I plan to open my shop by mid-January. Thank you for confirming I made the right choice.

[@shimmymorris1]

Yessss you’ve got this!!! 2025 is gna be huge for you!

Great vid shimmy. Been following for a while. Using your guide, on 80 designs so far. Will post a few in the community soon for critique. 👏

nice one!!

[@AVASpanishLessons]

¡Hola! I'm starting PoD this year to combine with my current business. Your videos have been really helpful so far, but now knowing that you're based in the UK (like me), do you have any videos where you speak about the legal stuff to sell worldwide? I've set the shop to sell worldwide, but when I tried to post my first product from Printful to Shopify, I got faced with the legal stuff to sell abroad, mainly in Europe and France, and apparently it's now even worse after Brexit. Again, thank you so much for your videos! 🥰

[@americanindeon]

You're right, I have to stop being in my head. The perfectionist in me keeps me from doing what needs to be done.

[@shimmymorris1]

You can do this!

Would you really have location freedom? Wouldn’t marketplaces like Etsy and EBay ban you if, for example, you keep logging in from a different country to the country of your bank account?

[@shimmymorris1]

I haven't had the experience, you could also use VPNs

Hi Shimmy, I'm new to this but I'm interested in starting. I'm tired of punching the meaningless time clock to only make ends meet. Where do I start?

you got this! I've got a full 8 hour training video on my channel you could check out :D

[@YippYipp-sq9jq]

Hi Shimmy! I need your help! I just Started and published 2 listings via eBay (I connected my Printify acc to my eBay acc) and now someone already bought an item!!! Like omg just few hours After Publishing without advertising lol. BUT how to i ship the item? I don’t have it obviously? I See the Buyers Adress on eBay but creating a Shipping Label makes no sense since I don’t have the item.. do i create an Order on Printify ? Argh what do I do now ?? Help 😬😲

[@shimmymorris1]

if you've connected it with printify or printful, it should all be managed there.

Post fees are problem In Etsy! Asked someone I know to buy one of my mugs from Etsy; allmost 50€ ! Then I knew the reason why no one bues from me anything!

The cars in the background of your video, who makes them?

[@blissessentials524]

Ok the "Location freedom" so etsy womt suspend me if im not at home ??? Isnt it a different ip address?? Im afraid i will get suspended if i moved house or went on vacation and wanted to keep working

[@shimmymorris1]

I mainly talk about Shopify and building a brand with print on demand. I don’t feel Etsy is scalable but saying that, I have had no issues logging in from other countries

[@blissessentials524]

@@shimmymorris1 I do print on demand but I haven't started Shopify yet. But I am wanting to start on that..I feel that Etsy was a good start it helped me understand everything..I am ready to Shopify tho

[@mango7802]

I'm selling posters and today my best selling poster has been taken down from Etsy for IP infringement... I designed it 100% myself and used no inspiration or anything similar to make it. Just makes no sense and sets me back months of work.

[@blissessentials524]

What design was it? That's weird it was taken down

[@shimmymorris1]

That’s strange! Did they see which ip it infringed?

[@LinguisticLifeform]

Lots of similar complaints about Etsy. Etsy has gone down the enshittification path

[@NaorGershon]

@@shimmymorris1 Hey, I'm just opening my pod store on my own site in the next few days. How many designs do you recommend having on the store before I open it for the potential buyers? Also, do you recommend uploading every new design I make right away or once every month lets say upload a couple of new designs together? Thank you

[@YippYipp-sq9jq]

Now I saw that minus all the fees I would get 10,47$ on eBay. And if I create an Order on Printify it would cost me 11,51$ (so I would pay on top, I would LOSE Money). But This time i have a Coupon for Printify Shipping fortunately so i pay 11,51$ - 5$ = 6,51$. So my would earn ~ 4$. Okay but Imagine I wouldnt have the Printify Shipping discount. This makes Zero Sense. Do I need to increase the total Price? I used just the suggested Price. .. But who would pay that much for ONE Little Sticker .. the buyers costs were 13,56$ already. I don’t understand a thing. Also thought all would be Automatic?! So confused

[@shimmymorris1]

I don't know what you're selling the item for, but we sell t-shirts starting at $29.99. If you're selling it for $10-$15 then you won't really have much or any margin

[@YippYipp-sq9jq]

@thanks for coming back to me! I sold a Sticker

[@mdrahatkhan8708]

It was a very motivational vodeo❤ but no one clearly share about the marketing part briefly. I know you have a long video for A to Z, but believe me it’s not helping properly. So could you please do something about this. Thank you🙏

[@shimmymorris1]

@@mdrahatkhan8708 what part of the 8 hour video wasn’t helping? There was a whole marketing section in there. Where have you got stuck? What’s your CPC, ROAS, how many designs have you tested? How’s your Shopify store looking? How many mock ups have you tested?

[@mdrahatkhan8708]

@ first of all I want to say thank you for your response. I have 14 years professional experience as a Graphic designer so I tried almost all of the way and last 16 months I make couple of trailer and error with couple of shopify site. But now Finally I stick my last site and the marketing part is not clear enough. The FB camping it’s fine but some time it’s a budget issue. So what is the other way for FB marketing? 🙏

the POD model doesn't work. It's oversaturated and you have to pay to play. You'll make more $$$ selling soda out of your front porch.

[@shimmymorris1]

Don’t think that! If others are doing it there’s no reason why you can’t

[@shimmymorris1]

Clothes oversaturated? 😂 there’s 8 billion people on the planet. I don’t think tshirts are ever going to disappear, so unsure how a market with that many customers could be oversaturated. More people wear tshirts than own phones… it’s the most popular clothing item (apart from underwear)
