I just found your channel by a blessing.... I REALLY appreciate your articulation. I have been homeless and angry about it for a long time, When I found this vid, I knew without a doubt, it is time to re-emerge. I TRULY respect the way you present. Thank you for your unselfish choice to help others.

[@judah4962]

Yes. re-emerge and fulfil the greatness within you. Bless.

[@Shawnmonique7]

Wonder if this is a sign 🪧 I’m homeless right now and thinking about doing this now and not later

[@ItsJustJoe]

After watching this stream and putting the advice into action within 1 day of launching my shop I already have two sales. Thanks for all you do! 🙏

[@legitebusiness]

I started to create my spread shop business @ #legitebusiness in Ghana Africa, but unfortunately, they use Paypal as payment. Is there another payment option?

[@PraiseConcepts-hj9rs]

Are you facing a low sales in your Shopify, Etsy, Affiliate, Redbubble and eBay businesses? Look no where I will promote your businesses to get more traffic and potential customers

How’s your store going?

Let me tell you! I am a brand new subbie and I am blown away at how you went to church with us! The truth may be harsh, but it's reality... AND something we ALL needed to hear. To everyone watching, I pray for nothing but success for you and your future business ventures! #peaceNlove

[@SaphireIIS]

Talk about a sign. I was watching videos in my home office last night, and thought I paused whatever it was. Sat down this morning and your video was playing - HELLO!! Message received universe! Thank you for this! This is BEYOND helpful for me!

[@ConnieWoods]

That literally just happened to me, too!

Hi. Just ran across your video. We were in a truck trailer accident and our photos are amazing. We survived of course, thank God, so now want to make car magnets and fridge magnets, and also tshirts. So will be watching your videos

@@TopFinancialAlpha It feels nice to get a creative boost when I look in the mirror, and to give that boost to other people who see the teeshirt, too. It’s an act of service, really. #jokingnotjoking

[@TGA19]

Roberto , you've been a massive inspiration in making me wanting to take the leap. I have a question, what about Copyright laws what can you do and not do? I have some design ideas,but they're not with original characters.

[@liquidparallax2034]

Helpful info: There is a process called a "poor man's copyright" by a process of sending and said copyright info through a registered postal system and send it to yourself and keep it sealed. This will be valid and dated registered copy right material that WILL stand in the court of law..... You are welcome everyone.

[@smartart6146]

Do yourself a favor and file a real copyright application online from the copyright office, cost is only $65. Avoid using other people's work; many online stores will shut you down if you are caught infringing!

[@richlovn539]

Super info! Thanks!

[@BudgetsWithELMA]

[@TheIntrovertedAlmond]

[@hortensepouros4123]

You are excellent

[@SparkleByMonica]

Thanks, Roberto! I've had a Spreadshop for several years, but no sales. lol. I've been able to activate here with my channel, but I don't actively promote it on social media since I'm not making tons of graphics for my Sparkle by Monica vibe yet and just have my logo. I've got to brainstorm what people might like to see since they obviously don't want to wear my logo. lol. I've got a list of ideas, but I've not made time to move forward yet. I appreciate your insight.

[@RobertoBlake]

Promoting is a huge thing people overlook

[@KristenLay-ni2mb]

Personalization, people love the option of putting their own or someone else's name on stuff or even their fav quote, God Bless

[@WeiseGuy91]

I'm at 46:48, still watching so sorry if you answer this later. Do you have suggestions on how to create designs (or tutorials) in Canva, Photoshop, and Illustrator? I really like the typography specifically and have some ideas that fit perfect with my brand (different channel, this channel is old/dead, haha). Seems much better to use words than images when images need to be original or copyright free and you have difficult licensing concerns to deal with sometimes with work you didn't specifically draw yourself.

[@bestlifewithvee]

Great content

[@TheLordJC]

Hey there..... 1st time in your channel, very helpful! - Sub'd......quick question tho.....CAN YOU tho, still make / sell Shirts without a good following or so?.....or not?....Do sites like these allow for this?...Thx.

I've wondered that as well but I think Roberto already did a video on this. I could be wrong though.

[@ALLTHINGSMIN]

Roberto, if you don't mind me asking - how big is your team? How many people have you hired or work with? I don't imagine at your level you're doing everything by yourself. Do you have a channel manager, social media assistant, editor?

[@RobertoBlake]

The entire channel I still do completely alone right now. I had plan to change that then the pandemic happened. But I have operations manager on my coaching business and a personal assistant. Other than that I hire people for one off things.

[@ALLTHINGSMIN]

@@RobertoBlake It's awesome how you make time to respond to the comments, thank you. What does your personal assistant do? Is it an in person role or do you hire remotely?

awesome video

[@naomiabrams4718]

I heard there is a way to copyright, or give you the ability to prove that it is in fact your actual work. You hand write or print whatever it is you want to copyright, place it in an envelope, seal it up, then address it to yourself, and take it to the post office & mail it. As soon as it's delivered don't open it, just put it somewhere safe. If your work is stolen you will have proof that it's yours. The post office stamps the date it was sent. Not sure how legit it is, but it could work. I'm just curious. Does anyone know if it would work?

[@CDReimer]

I've been asked for my fictitious business name (FBN) statement when providing or updating my tax info at third-party companies like Spreadshop and Google, respectively. I guess something changed in the tax law for this year. If you don't operate under your legal name, you may need to provide a FBN statement.
