thanks for giving such detailed and in depth info on these stickers, I am researching them right now to offer them in my etsy shop, some things still go over my head, but I'm studying and learning, 👍

[@CelsoBuccho]

appreciate for sharing this with us, excellent video

[@marinrodriguez7729]

Thanks so much for all of your informative content. I really appreciate your nuts and bolts approach to everything, especially the hacks and tweaks available in the various software packages. Id luv to see more software tutorials especially in basics and beat practices for using Your style is very clear and easy to follow. You would be a great teacher!

[@j.h.8555]

I heard you say in another video that you typically offer free shipping on your stickers. can you say why that is when it drives up the retail cost? do you find it's more enticing to buyers regardless?

[@RyanCatani]

cant wait to start my pod

[@wallstbets4865]

so shipping cost is United States All USD 3.99 Rest of World All USD 7.99 Expansive for just 1 sticker , how you suppose to make a profit after shipping cost + etsy fee?

[@PODinsights]

If your primary market is outside the US, I wouldn't recommend using a US-based print provider due to the shipping cost and time for delivery. Printify has a couple providers located in other countries for stickers that charge less for delivery to countries in Europe so those are likely a better option. But generally, the shipping charge on stickers is usually more than the sticker itself, at least for the first item.

[@ebonymitchell2720]

Really great video and I found it to be really thorough. So much to selling stickers lol but I know with practice it'll get easier and watching your video definitely helped. Thank you for sharing :)

[@PODinsights]

Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful!

[@KirbyHenry10]

was so confused about different sticker types when I first started, you cleared everything up!

[@PODinsights]

I'm glad it helped!

[@BenaNiles]

you just convinced me on doing it

[@SW-tx9rh]

I loved your video and the explanation between the sizes and detail. I almost ordered from them, but found sticker mule and cut Printify out completely. I use Printify for other options, but I'd rather order from the manufacturer than the drop shipper.

[@beatrix-ec1xf]

What's the alternative to printify?

[@The123ilovebeauty]

Is Sticker Mule also print on demand or do you order in bulk and ship them yourself?

[@lunazamoraart]

Very helpful! So If I want to sell anything on ETSY, it should be one thing only in order to provide discounts.

[@VALEADVENTURE]

Hi, cool video! Have you found anyway to sell more than just one single DIE CUT sticker using Print on demand? Selling only individual stickers tend to sell much less than. Having a series of more stickers or bundles.

[@dinorossi6611]

Do you have an updated video on this subject ?

[@j348011]

I am new to sticker selling. But I noticed on Printify that at least one of the companies sells sticker sheet packs so why wouldn't you just do that and make a separate listing on Etsy? At least that way you can control the pricing and add the stickers that you want to sell as a Pack. One of the packs comes with 5 sheets bundle of stickers priced $ 22.39 / or 10 sheet bundle pk. for $37.31 that's not the discounted price. So I assume that you can control the pricing and select that has on sale. Maybe I'm wrong though?

[@LolliGagMerch]

If someone bought more than one sticker does the shipping cost apply to each sticker even though they are being sent together??

[@markwarnberg1517]

This is a truly great video and thank you so much for sharing all the specific details. You just got yourself a new subscriber and I'll be looking forward to your new videos.

[@PODinsights]

Thank you so much!

[@marksanei]

Awesome video! Do you have a link to your Etsy shop?

[@GrandeurTravel]

Just curious- it looks like if you use Printify to fulfill your orders, you'd have to price them way higher than all the other stickers on Etsy in order to make a profit. Is it then worth it? Do you really see sales on an $8-$10 sticker? I wanted to start selling stickers on my shop but seems like I would have to price way higher than that competition that is probably making them at home. Thanks for your help!

[@vinnyfaylor5604]

I am also wondering this, since most stickers are sold on Etsy for $3-5. If shipping is already $3.99, are there any tips on how to have a low price sticker? or will it be minimum 7$ to get any profit?

[@PODinsights]

Recently (within the last year) I've had to get more creative with my sticker listings to look competitive for this reason. There seems to have been an increase in sellers offering stickers for $2-3 and I'm not sure what their source is. I've checked out pricing for getting a bulk order from sources like sticker mule but once you factor in the shipping you'll have to pay to send orders out yourself, it's nearly the same cost per sticker as using Printify. I have noticed that I never really sold many of the smallest size (2x2) stickers, so now when I create new sticker listings I price that size to make a very small profit and then price the other sizes a bit more normally with about 30% profit margin. 4x4 tends to be the most popular size for me and I do still see sales but they've declined in the last 7-8 months. I've also started being more selective about the niches that I create stickers for - if page 1 of the search results is nearly 100% $2-3 stickers I don't bother. I still find some opportunities though to create new listings in niches where there are some others in the $5-8 range. I also sometimes make custom bundle listings where I put 3-4 design options in the same listing and include a variant for a bundle pack...which I then have to manually fulfill, but the volume discount on stickers is huge. The additional shipping charge in the US is only $0.09 for each additional sticker (same SPOKE kiss-cut), so if you can get someone into your listing to see a much better per-sticker price when they buy multiple that helps too.

[@mirandaglaeser4677]

Agreed, with shipping being 2-3x more than the cost of the sticker itself, you’d have to price the sticker at $8-10. Anyone know if there is a cheaper shipping option out there?

[@OllyAnder1]

@@mirandaglaeser4677 I wonder if it would be tacky to ship stickers in an envelope? Only have to pay for stamps!

[@Hyperdriveuk]

Make all products (non sticker) 50% off. So they can apply 50% off.. but that's cancelled by the default 50% off.

[@mochimachinations]

When so many other sellers have stickers listed for like 2-4$, is it really reasonable to expect someone would pay 8$ for a sticker? Because unless you price them that high, you wont make any profit. And even pricing a 2x2 sticker at 8$, the profit is still only about 1$.

[@richardwetterauer]

can you comment on the shipping cost....for a single sticker vs multiples of the same sticker.... it seems like printify will charge shipping for a single sticker and 4x shipping for a pack of 4 stickers......doesnt seem fair since 4 stickers weighs almost the same as 1 sticker

[@777SEER]

4 x 6 " how big are them stickers?

[@marinrodriguez7729]

Sorry meant to say more software tutorials would be great especially in how to use the various research tools...basics as well as hacks and tweaks.

[@PierinoGenovese]

TY!!! AWESOME

[@LarnaSimpaa]

great content. ty

[@wskwong2000]

2:10 Are there any options to print transparent stickers? e.g. a white outline of the bigfoot with transparency in the middle, instead of a grey-shade bigfoot.

[@cathychats]

You jump to printed simply what is that

[@wallstbets4865]

printify supplier charging 5-7$ shipping for stickers....

[@Goblingimp]

Ik i wanna cry seeing that it’s funny yet sad

[@peaceandquiet]

Maybe we can have multiple designs on one sticker? I don't know if this can work like this.

[@JaimeTosch]

Why don’t you just put 4 items to a sheet. And offer that as a sale price. Is that possible with Printify. This is my second Christmas attempt to try sell my original art on Etsy.

[@natalin.6017]

Hi! Great video! Can you share your experience of running an Etsy shop with multiple items. I’m planning also to start POD with T-shirts and stickers, but not sure how to organise it. I mean if one customer orders a T-shirt and a sticker they will come as different orders? And he will pay twice for delivery… or there is a way? Thank you❤

[@LunaAlthea]

Do you have any review on the SunFrog Solutions round stickers from Printify??

[@dustinjohnsenmedia1889]

Thanks for the video! How do we choose the shipping sizes and weight of the products? Im not sure what the final weight is or what size package Printify will send out.

[@PODinsights]

Hi! With Printify your shipping profiles should be set to a flat cost rather than calculated. You only need to enter size & weight for calculated shipping prices, but Printify charges a flat shipping price for each country so your shipping profile should be set to a flat/fixed cost, and then you won't have to enter any size/weight information for each listing. I hope that helps!

[@LynettBruty160]

is it actually that easy? wow

[@sonpollo8995]

So if I buy 4 single stickers the customer pays the same shipping cost for 1 sticker?

[@magnuskallas]

Hi. Thank you for the nice tutorial. I'm new to sticker sheets so was wondering about the Printify sticker sheet object: if one/fourth contains multiple objects, will they be cut separately, so you can add let's say 8 stickers to a sheet?

[@mrringtalesworkshop]

That's correct! In each of the 4 sections you can place multiple stickers. I have one pack that is like, 15 stickers PER section. You just have to pay attention to the mockup in the editor. If your stickers are packed in too close in the file you upload it could lead to them being cut as one sticker, but the preview with show you if that's the case and you can go fix it

[@limitless-SK]

can you just leave the shipping ? or will they still pay 4 time shipping if they buy 4 stickers?

[@financialchimes4546]

Is there a free Etsy keyword research tool? (A free alternative for Sale Samurai?)

[@PODinsights]

Hi! eRank does offer a free account. They have limitations on how many times per day you can use their resources with the free account, but it's a great way to do some research without paying fees. That's the only keyword tool I'm aware of that has a free account although some others may do free trial periods too. erank.com/

[@wallstbets4865]

how can you calculate the profit margin % you did not add the shipping cost....

[@PODinsights]

Hi, at 10:10 the cost figure that I am using to calculate a profit margin ($5.06) does include shipping as I showed in the excel table. It was the cost of a 2x2 sticker ($1.07) plus shipping ($3.99).

[@Youngj723]

So the one with the backing cut to the same shape of the sticker you ordered that you call "outdoor" was a die-cut sticker, correct?

[@PODinsights]

Correct! That one was the "transparent outdoor sticker" from Printed Simply in the Printify catalog. They are die-cut and the sample felt quite a bit thicker than the other die-cut stickers that weren't labeled for outdoor use.

[@cathychats]

Do you find Printify’s quality better than Printful?

[@RealRobiwan]

Really great content! I'm going through all your videos right now. Question, I heard you mention that you use your business credit card to fulfill orders, in one of your videos. When do you think is a good time to start an LLC? Once your store is bringing in enough sales to prove itself, or open your store with an LLC and apply for EIN right off the bat?

[@PODinsights]

Thanks! I actually still do not have an LLC myself even though I think I'm way past the point where I probably should have one. I do have a trade name registered in my state for my business though. I have a few business credit cards that I got as a sole proprietor and I love them - it's so nice to have things totally separate from my personal finances and be able to carry a balance until the revenue comes in to pay it off without affecting my personal credit utilization rate. I do think that if you're just starting out, it's worth waiting until you are certain that you're going to be continuing your business for an extended time before getting an LLC. It's not extremely complicated to set up, but it's also got some startup costs associated and your taxes become a little more complex so in my opinion you should be sure that it's worth the effort and something you are sticking with for the long term before diving in. If you want to sell on Amazon through seller central, that's where I think an LLC is probably more important to do sooner because it gives you a little more privacy when having to list all your business information on a public page for customers to see. I hope that helps!

[@RealRobiwan]

@@PODinsights thanks so much for taking the time to give me such an in-depth reply like that. Very useful! Just like all your videos. Looking forward to your new ones. You've helped me make listings faster to create, gave me insights in pricing products and shipping and so much more. Just opened up an etsy store this month while also working 60hrs+ a week during the day, among other things. No more excuses. I'm going to try and make this work. One listing at a time. I really appreciate it. 👍

[@SFN-YT]

Just wondering about the transparent example you showed - was the artwork a solid fill or did it have opacity? I don't have any experience with these stickers, but thought the design would remain solid/vibrant and just the 'cut' area around it would be transparent. If your artwork was solid, do you know if a white or black fill behind the design would give a more intense result? Anyway, thanks for all your videos - I only recently found you, but really appreciate your content :)

[@PODinsights]

Great question, and I'm not 100% certain that printed simply's transparent stickers are the same as other providers in how they come out. There's no option to add a background color in the editor view for the sticker sheets so I'm not sure if there's a way to force it to come out more solid in the print area other than just doing the white option instead of transparent. I'm curious so I ordered a couple more samples of the same coffee cup design on a transparent base from Spoke to compare. I will confirm how they compare as soon as they get here!

[@SFN-YT]

@@PODinsights Glad I could add something to the conversation :) It'll be interesting to see how the new samples come out. Thanks again!

[@PODinsights]

@@SFN-YT Update: I got the samples and just posted a photo in the community section of the channel! The transparent sticker from Spoke definitely has bolder colors compared to the transparent sticker from Printed Simply, but I think the white stickers still look best on a dark background. But I'm glad I know now that the transparent stickers from Printed Simply are a lot more transparent through the design vs. Spoke. Thanks for asking about this! kzbin.infocommunity

[@SFN-YT]

@@PODinsights No problem, thanks for taking the time to look into it!! The Spoke stickers are significantly bolder - definitely good to know. Thanks again :)

[@Snackward]

Kiss cut and die cut are not the same thing. You keep using them both to describe kiss cut and it's confusing.

[@PODinsights]

Hi, both kiss cut and die cut result in a sticker that is the shape of the design - I understand there is a difference between the backing being cut or not, but in terms of the sticker itself, in either case the sticker is going to be the shape of your design once removed from the backing. I use those terms interchangeable because they both give you a sticker that is a "custom" shape vs. stickers that are square or round and not cut to the shape of your design, which are also available on Printify.

[@linaa4076]

Im offering only the 2 by 2, 3 by 3, and 4 by 4 stickers. The print area size for the 4 by 4 is 1113 × 1113 px. I used this png file size (1113 × 1113 px) for all my sizes. Looks like Printify automatically adjusted the scale size for me for the smaller sticker sizes. But, Im concerned if i should upload the correct file size for each sticker size. Or is it fine ?

[@PODinsights]

Hi! It is fine to use the same file for all sizes, as long as your file is big enough for the largest size. Since 4x4 is the largest size you're offering, it is fine to use a file made for that size on the smaller sizes to save time. The DPI will actually increase as the image is scaled down on the smaller sizes. Printify usually does a good job of matching your alignment/sizing on each size, but be sure to check them individually to make sure the placement/alignment is correct. You can make manual adjustments for individual sizes if needed - Printify has an option in the design editor to make edits specifically for each size up in the top right area where the size variations are. I hope that helps!

[@linaa4076]
