$100,000/Year Profit Seller REVEALS His Secrets! w/ Juna Duncan | Print on Demand Wisdom Podcast #12

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks for the interview Philip. I always have a great time here. Awesome interview man. You rock!!

[@PhilipAnders]

Thank you for coming on for a second interview! It's a good time and you always have great insights to share!

[@jonnyjonjonjrshabadoo6565]

Thank you both for sharing these ideas! Great discussion.

[@MyNickNameIsNice26]

I wonder why you are still working 9 to 5, I get its more safe and you probably having fun doing it. :) But if you would free up this time for amazon, etsy, teepublic etc. the sky is the limit for you in my opinion! Nice video, you guys are great!

[@SergentXII]

Great interview, learning more everyday 😁 I have one burning question, does adding text or puns to a graphic/illustration design actually have a significant impact on sales or is it just additive with not much different results ?

[@adnanm9958]

Hey Juna, did you run ads for all the scalable designs?

[@JamesAllen-uj1po]

ive been a 6 fig profit merch by amazon seller for the past 4-5 years, best year was over $250k in royalties. Marathon over a sprint mindset is key. SEO and hitting the right emotional response with a customer from a design is key as well

[@aquarels]

I really appreciate both of your knowledge. Great content, great interview, thanks a lot!

[@enanta7]

I use upscayl to upscale. Is it good?

[@godliker.]

Yes it is

[@robo3383]

Great interview by two of my favorite POD tubers. Both of you give honest information and not videos related to affiliate sales. I don't mind buying applications through your links because of your honesty. Juno drives me crazy with his awesome creativity doing his "Design With Detour" and where's Milo?

[@PhilipAnders]

Much appreciated thank you! Milo is living the best life. He comes on every now and then to help me with Niche research😅

[@CatInOrbit]

Another POD tuber, I forget who, created a video about keeping the style of your Dal-e-3 images constant. He says that when Dal-e-3 gives you an image you like, you ask AI what the “gen_id” of the image is. After the AI gives you the gen_id code, you keep asking the AI to give you images “ in the style of xxxxxxxxxxxx (the gen_id code).”

[@PhilipAnders]

@@CatInOrbit I once made a video like that but I think they changed it and don't let you use the gen_id anymore

[@CatInOrbit]

@@PhilipAnders it depends which AI you’re using, and its mood at the time. I’ve had Merch on Demand by Podly refuse to give it to me in the past, and then give it to me a couple of days ago. But most AI will still give it to you. Just a second ago I went to sticker wiz and asked for the gen_id of an image I created a week ago and it gave it to me.

[@sidehustlessimplified]

Great interview fellas! Two of the BEST in the game!

[@musicteacherengel]

A great conversation with two great people. Thanks for doing this!

[@PhilipAnders]

Thanks a lot @musicteacherengel glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@chastitygrant5304]

Great interview! I always enjoy your content and learn so much.

[@PhilipAnders]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@49Beatriz]

Both of you are my favorite POD youtuber.

[@salahnasri7402]

Thank you both

[@meggieoneill7084]

Love honest feedback. Thank you to both of you.

[@PhilipAnders]

Thanks for watching!

[@Momofdom]

Great interview! It's crazy that someone on Juna's level is still uploading manually. That means no excuses for the rest of us 😅

[@PhilipAnders]

Absolutely! Good point 😉

[@justcallmeneb8025]

I have really been loving Chat GPT’s , my favorite is design in style. Most recently I found that Dalle can take two separate images and combine their styles and components to make a whole new style. My advice for new designers would be to do like I did, and ask Ai for a list of the different design styles. I have found some styles I didn’t even know about.

[@PhilipAnders]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@pablosoler7604]

It is possible to succeed on print on demand with other products beside tshirt?

[@PhilipAnders]

yes! coffee mugs are a very popular product as well for example

[@eresunaestrellahermosa]

On merch on demand Amazon is posible to use IA designs? Is allow?

[@Luxinda]

I was thinking about the mug situation on Amazon and how great that would be (plus tumblers and hats), and it occurred to me that maybe part of the hold up is because at the massive scale Amod operates, it would require them buying a 💩-ton of mug presses and for hats, special hat presses. Maybe they just don't want to make that kind of monetary and space investment. Obviously, I have no clue, but this might be one reason why it's taking them so long to add these pretty popular things. 🤷‍♀

[@PhilipAnders]

yeah that's another potential reason. Hopefully we are all proven wrong soon!

[@deborahmw777]

Can you vectorize after upscaling? Would that make it even better?

[@NiazMohammad]

Great interview from two of the best! I've got a question. If we are not a paid subscriber of, say, ideogram or microsoft bing create, are the generated images commercially usable?

[@cmurf10]

Maybe I missed this, but... On Tier 10, it's not possible to put up 100 designs at the beginning. Should I wait a certain amount of time, and if a design doesn't sell, delete it and try another one?

[@candor-tt4836]

I've not had any success with Amazon. All my uploads from printify get rejected, and I dont understand what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions?

[@joseph-the-seventh]

Great discussion! Please do more! Philip can you comment on designs made with ChatGPT, when I create an image with AI do I own the copyright? Or can anyone steal it and use it? Thanks.

[@PhilipAnders]

People can and will always steal designs, even if they're not allowed to. Ai art has no copyright so they are technically allowed to do so. However if you make it your own (like in the design with detour examples Juna posts) then copyright applies as it's your own design.

[@DavesTravels-uk]

Thoughts on Society6?

[@PhilipAnders]

It's rubbish (imo)

[@ItamarsDesigns]

Phillip, I sent you an email yesterday but I’m not sure if you received it because I replied to your email that I subscribed… the one that is automated. Thanks for all you do!

[@SheRedd]

One thing that isn't clear is the fact that you say you choose a "niche" but then among your designs there isn't a well-defined "niche", I don't understand if choosing a "niche" is only advantageous to everyone start by making the algorithm notice you by always using the same tags and only then adding designs that are "catchy and trendy" even if they are not in line with your "niche"

[@MaryHardymsmary_h]

I think you would need to look at his sites to see what niche he is using. KZbin I feel is for more general (teaching) style just to get you started, see what is available. I hope you understand what I am trying to say here.

[@woodcrafterinyourpocket8640]

For TeePublic, do you have to do your own marketing?

[@PhilipAnders]

no you do not

[@Sagor-h3k]

Hi sir, Are you looking for professional KZbin thumbnail designer ?

[@zeusthejoker]

He is

[@PhilipAnders]

nope

[@automaton111]

What platform would you sell on for left wing political shirts? I think Etsy is just for suburban wine moms. Problem with Amazon is you can’t build a brand and you have no control over print provider. My current print provider doesn’t use DTG. I don’t like the quality of DTG, which is a consideration if building a brand.

[@almdrs]

I don't get all the excitement about AI. It's not a "tool", it's an artist replacement. Good luck competing with computers mass producing billions of graphics. So silly.

[@PinoyFun-Tastic]
