Do you still use this tool? I signed up and have been learning how to use it. I seem to spend A LOT of time waiting for things to process and load. I can see how in theory, it should save a ton of time. But in practice, it seems slow and a bit inefficient.

[@deana4793]

Being a beginner there are lots of little questions that come up. Please keep the videos coming! Thank you so much! 👍👍

[@PhilipAnders]

I hope this video helped! The guys at mydesigns also do weekly Q&A livestreams which are really helpful to understand the tool better

[@CurtisBlackmore]

This video is amazing, Philip! It's the perfect video for beginners to understand more about MyDesigns, our plans, and what it's capable of! 🙌 Sharing with the MyDesigns community! 🙏

[@PhilipAnders]

Awesome thank you Curtis! Glad you like the video 🙌

[@wendyon4517]

Philip just passed 50k subscribers. It would be great for his subscribers if MyDesigns offered some "free" paid subscriptions to celebrate the milestone. My best guess is that Philip's various videos about MyDesigns make him a "go to" KZbinr. I've already watched this one 3x because it's a lot to take in. Cost/performance wise I see it as a win/win/win.

[@Adventureboundcruisetravel]

@@wendyon4517 - I can't use the FREE version as it has no credits & everything I want to use requires credits. So, again, this is a tool like PODBuddy I will have to put on the back burner until I sell something on one of the platforms, or GreenDot Bank gets its head out of its a$$ and allows me access to my blocked account.

[@ImTravi]

"Philip, thank you so much! I've been following your channel since it started, and you have consistently provided the kind of content necessary for us to start these POD shops. Additionally, you provide us with tools and techniques that increase our chances of success! Your speaking style, video structure, and even the background in your videos all show a level of careful attention to detail that I really appreciate. You're the man, P.A.!"

MANNNNN i am so glad I found you and this VIDEO. I had seen it from your other vid creating 100 high qual videos in 5 mins!! I was just sitting at my laptop looking at the time and was like dang I need another hard-drive!! Thanks for this tutorial and overview appreciate the share and beneficial info.! Wish me LUCK and thanks for the coupon code. needed that too

What are the print providers, what is their quality, can you choose your own print providers? Crucial information

[@shanerussell1745]

Brilliant video as always Philip Thanks I was in 2 minds whether to sign up for the pro package but now I'm definitely doing it especially with the black Friday deals they have at the moment. Also thanks for the tip to hold off from signing up for any software until the black Friday deals. Have a great day buddy 👍😁

[@vicadams3104]

I just subscribed to MyDesigns and this tutorial is the best I have found on KZbin and better than most of the fragmented training videos offered by MyDesigns. You were able to squeeze a fair bit of info into 40 min. However, I would be interested in a course with more detailed information about each function and feature of the software because it's quite overwhelming for a new user. Please let me know if you are aware of any such training. Thanks again for your content.

[@PhilipAnders]

I'm glad you liked this video. Mydesigns is overwhelming as a beginner so I tried to clarify a lot of things with this video. There's no course about this yet, the only thing I can suggest is getting coaching for a 1 on 1 screen share walkthrough

[@jayjayf9699]

What if you still want to use printify how does that work with mydesigns ?

[@ravindran5688]

So does that mean, I can use the vectorizer for free in free plan and also use that for commercial purpose right?

[@shiverwind4361]

so helpful! thank you philip

[@PhilipAnders]

Happy to help!

[@HealthyNutritionalBenefits]

Love this tutorial and all of its content!! Can I bring all of designs over from Printify to MyDesigns?? If so, how do I go about doing this?? 😊 I've already posted most of them on Etsy already. Will this interfere with the posted listing if I do??

[@PhilipAnders]

Mhh good question. Not sure if there's an easy way to do that. Might be worth asking that question to their support or in their community :)

[@eurossocial]

Thank you for this excellent review and Guide on Mydesigns. 👍

[@PhilipAnders]

You're very welcome!

[@CattailDesignStudio]

I would love it if you could do how to use mydesigns how to make the bulk listings and tags. The tutorial they have goes too fast and is a bit confusing. Thanks for all you do!

[@MarkusBeher]

Hey Philip, is my designs primarily fur US users or can we in the UK make use of the full functionality? Thanks for the video, you packed a lot in here, very thorough 😊

[@tonyr.4778]

How is MyDesigns as far as having inventory, especially in Q4? Is there an option to have a backup manufacturer in case there is an out of stock issue?

[@bhaktimehta6054]

Hi Philip! I just signed with your discount code for the Pro Plan. Thank you. Can you please tell me how I can use Mydesigns to use a third-party POD fulfillment company, not the ones partnered with Mydesigns? I own a shopify store in India and I'm confused how to set the fulfillment vendor/print partner to my local company?

[@kindonvisuals]

Hi Philip. Can you select a UK print provider with MY designs for your Etsy shop in the UK as you can with Printify?

[@UnchartedWorlds]

I signed up to pro plus, used you as reference! :)

[@PhilipAnders]

Thanks a lot I appreciate that❤️

[@bizprofitable9288]

Hi Phillip, question, what are the main differences between Printify Premium vs MyDesigns? You touched briefly in the above video.

[@MissChelle]

I think I’m getting old. My brain just exploded!❤️🇦🇺

[@SignificantWines]

Definitely learning a lot :)

[@charledawn]

[@PerfectArtistryPOD]

21:50 It can generate the title, description, and tags. Can it also generate the bullet points or any additional fields that I might include?

[@shanerussell1745]

That's alot to take in but the way you explain everything is so understandable I'll be watching this a few more times 😀 Thanks for all your videos. I'm ready to make a start now and that's thanks to watching you. Your the best 👍😃

[@peztrader]

Hey, great video was very helpful for a beginner. Do you have any videos that show how to have different images for different color shirts in one listing

[@PhilipAnders]

Thank you! Not sure if this is possible yet. Mydesigns support might be able to help😉

[@sheli4795]

Yes, it's possible and MyDesigns does have a video on that. Check their KZbin channel or their website. I just watched it.

[@ang2733]

Thanks for your vudeos, They are so explicit and help with navigation this comprehensive system.I love it! re Publish prerequisite: Am I to understand that once after a buyer orders my merch POD, i.e. Tshirt, I have to pay for it to be produced. Why isnt this double payment? I thought the order is not produced until the buyers' payment is confirmed.

[@PhilipAnders]

You are right the order won't be produced until the buyers payment is confirmed. But the marketplace (Etsy) holds the payment until after you have paid and fulfilled the order. So you have to wait a few weeks to be paid for your production cost + profit

[@KLarsen-w9z]

Hello Philip, I don't see any recent videos about mydesigns. Are you not impressed anymore with them, and if so, why not? Thanks I Love your videos!

[@PhilipAnders]

I have made lots of mydesigns tutorials this year ;) Just haven't done many recently as there's not been much new stuff to cover. Last one was 3 weeks ago about tumbler wraps

[@jaemarie1095]

Hey Philip, I'm trying to get my head around the Mydesigns software. You're always my go to :) My question is... if I use mydesigns over Printify am I only able to ship in US? Or am I best using both. As I was only planning on selling to the Uk, until I know what the eck I'm doing. I'm feeling a tad overwhelmed with it all atm.

[@PhilipAnders]

MyDesigns is not optimal for selling to the UK currently. You can publish through mydesigns and do everything on their end and fulfil international orders with printify. It's a bit of extra manual work though

[@jaemarie1095]

​@@PhilipAnders Urmm unsure what to do. It's the filling out of all the fields that is gravitating me to it. I got so excited watching this video ( POD PORN 😂😂 ) Now I don't know what to do. 😕

Please please please do a video in what you're explaining. Pretty please hahah

[@tutorialsartandvids7136]

Can you please make a video on how to transfer data from MyDesigns to Flying upload like mockup, title and description and tag.

[@tinas6459]

The software is really good. Only issue is the amount of credits can easily get used up in a day so can end up being expensive.

[@PhilipAnders]

Yes that's true if you're using the ai features a lot. I have heard they are increasing the credits each user gets soon

[@tinas6459]

@@PhilipAnders I’ve been bulk up scaling using upscayl but upscayl seem to be juggling around the images so isn’t clear at the moment.

[@UnchartedWorlds]

Hi Philip, did I understand correctly it is us who have to pay for printing 16:47? Is it not customer who pays for the printing when they purchase the product they are interested in? I'm not sure why we have to pay in advance for this? Will this money then be returned back? How does that work? Seems bit complicated.

[@PhilipAnders]

The customer pays you through Etsy and you have to use that money to pay for printing

[@hudhud7172]

That's a lot to take in but great video as usual. I will be watching it a few more times I'm sure to decide 😂. Does the 25% discount apply only to the yearly plan? Thanks for sharing this.

[@PhilipAnders]

with my code it applies to each monthly payment as well

[@printeequebouteeque]

How do you get 2 different designs say a black ink design and a white ink design in one listing?

[@FunFactsandQuizzes2909]

[@mistitrimble3334]

Thanks SO much!!!❤

[@PhilipAnders]

[@unknown35514]

Does mydesigns charges credits for every actions or subscription is only needed? for example using dream AI to generate titles and tags, making straight, tapered files, making mockups and publishing content on ETSY?

[@PhilipAnders]

credits are charged for generating ai art, upscale, vectorize & removing bg feature. Generating titles & mockups etc doesn't cost credits

[@unknown35514]

@PhilipAnders Thank you so much, appreciate it

[@sunshinecampbell4530]

Are these changes permanent? Will they go away if the you cancel subscription

[@ebayseller6040]

prices are competitive with printify I guess?

[@Dietcheesey]

I sell on Merch. Is it worth selling on Etsy as well?

Yes Etsy gets a lot of traffic 👍

[@juditkalman2469]

Hi I am stuck. In my page the menu the accont, the integration ect. are not in 2 lines nex to each other but in one long line....and i cant access to the bottom ones.... video training and billing...how can i make it into 2 lines?

[@EricCawaling]

Am I only seeing the profit here, excluding shipping costs? I want customers to pay for shipping. The issue is, if I set a price without knowing the shipping fee, I won't know if I'll make or lose money. I want to ensure that the profit I set remains mine. When customers check out, Etsy will add the shipping fee separately. This way, I won't worry about shipping costs cutting into my profit. Customers will handle it during checkout. In simple terms, shipping fees vary based on the customer's location. They shouldn't be included in the product price. I'm not offering free shipping. I prefer to separate shipping costs from the product price, making them distinct. I want customers to only see the product price, not the total including shipping.

[@patrickpulle3385]

Thanks for your knowledge, I wish I will make money online too

[@PhilipAnders]

You can do it!!

hi philip, a question i wanted to ask, does it work somehow to export the listings to other platforms other than etsy like for example my own website or some other? thanks for replying.

THANK YOU BRO

[@PhilipAnders]

You're welcome!

[@Patcampos7]

Great video! Is it possible to integrate mydesigns with flying upload, that is, use flying upload to upload the designs to all the marketplaces and use mydesigns to generate the seo in bulk? And if so, how?

[@PhilipAnders]

Not to my knowledge. Mydesigns integrates with merch titans. I made a tutorial about that recently. But flying also has their own way to generate SEO in bulk. They have tutorials on their yt channel

[@Patcampos7]

@@PhilipAnders ok, thank you!

[@Patcampos7]

@@PhilipAnders just another question, in your other videos you talk about flying upload being your favorite tool for upload, so how do you generate your listings, do tou do it manually or do you use another tool and then copy it to flying upload? Because to use the integration between mydesigns and merch titans you have to pay a subscription for each, and to use the ai listing within flying upload you also have to pay extra for credit usage. So, I’d like to know what tools do you specially use for this entire process, from seo listing to upload?

[@PhilipAnders]

@@Patcampos7 I don't use ai to generate my merch listings. It's only been a thing for a few weeks at this point and doing it manually is going to give you way better listing seo. I also use scalable designs and spreadsheets a lot to create listings for flying. I only use Mydesigns for etsy

[@Patcampos7]

@@PhilipAnders thank you so much 😊

Great video! I got really excited but then realised it's quite usa based, are there any updates about UK fulfillment? 🙏🏽 I'd love to use this software but I'm concerned as im based in the UK 🤔 and thank you for your amazing videos 🙌🏾

[@PhilipAnders]

They launched less than a year ago and are still expanding the product portfolio and fulfilment locations. Atm it's quite US heavy but printful is I tegrated through mydesigns who ship from eu/uk too. If that's your main market maybe hold off a little bit until they've got more eu locations😉

[@vikkikoshoni1168]

@@PhilipAnders good points 🙌🏾 I'll watch and see what happens 🤓

[@jasne2992]

Are those POD Partners US only?

Printful is global

[@blckpxl]

quite interesting, but more for the US market, for me located in Germany it seems not suitable because of long delivery time. Danke für deine Videos und weiterhin viel Erfolg👍

[@PhilipAnders]

Dankeschön! Ja momentan gibt es nur printful als fulfilment Option um über mydesigns auch nach Europa schnell zu versenden. Aber ich weiß dass die noch viel mehr Optionen weltweit anbieten werden in Zukunft😉 Dann sollte es hoffentlich nicht mehr so US lastig sein

Hi new Subscriber here! I'm trying to publish my T-shirt listings to my Etsy shop but it keeps saying I should "pick a product" I've selected the products I want to publish but I'm just stuck there. Can you please help? TIA

[@stephysands]

So does this also make you pay for the products when thr customer orders ,like printify and printful do. Then Etsy pays you whenever they decide to? Or is it like tee republic you don't pay for the product upfront

[@PhilipAnders]

You have to pay for the product to be printed. There's no way to get around that with Etsy / shopify

[@hozukimaru]

Hi Philip thanks for the video. If i by accident made a spelling mistake while designing and uploaded the design with the mistake, is there a chance i could just modify the listing or there is no way around it and i'll just have to deactivate the listing and upload a new one?

Good question! I am not 100% sure, it's best if you ask that question in the MyDesigns community ;)

While this is a great tutorial, it is a lot and it is bit fast (your speaking and clicking) for a "true beginner". Maybe I'm a beginner-beginner. I had to stop and start more than I care to admit. Nonetheless, thank you and I will rewatch it.

[@thetravellingnomad9964]

I enjoy watching your videos and i know English is not your first language but it drives me mad the way you keep saying 'various' as VAAArious! It's pronounced VAIRious as in VAIR NOT VAA.

Please, just for me, pronounce it correctly in future videos and make me happy. 🤣🤣👍
