Society6 FULL Tutorial with Sizes & Tips - Selling Patterns on Print on Demand

[@amrisk]

I have started a society six store where I am creating geometric designs and patterns at my store. I have learnt a lot from your videos and now am trying my hand at this. Thank you, Mey!

[@Nicola_Kluge]

Thank you for all the info!

[@MeyTribe]

Any time! :)

[@deliasotodesigns]

Mey! You are absolutely amazing! I'm watching your videos while i design & create art for Society6! So much fun & creativity motivation! Truly inspired designer & artist, ❤🎨 🖥 👩‍💻

[@MeyTribe]

Happy you liked it

[@didi-bc1xs]

I think i never realised how to use society 6. I will definitely use your advices. Love you and thank you for everything you are sharing!

[@MeyTribe]

You can upload many things to S6, also illustrations and text designs.... I will be doing the videos on both of the other 2 options when I return from my break :)

[@didi-bc1xs]

@@MeyTribe can I upload AI images?

[@MeyTribe]

@@didi-bc1xs As far as i know- yes. But that also depends on the program you're using to make them and the licence of that program.

[@didi-bc1xs]

@@MeyTribe i use Open AI Art(mid journey)

[@NatureZone101]

SUCH a helpful video!! Did you do the other 2 on sizes for shirts, etc? I tried a search on your page, but didn't see them. Thanks!!

[@jeanathey767]

Such fun! As a newbie on Etsy, I cannot wait for the Pinterest tutorial and blog info. You do such a great job of teaching and I've chosen Pinterest as my first marketing outlet, so really look forward to that. Keep up the great tuts!

[@vincewheels5769]

Thank you Mey for donating your time to share such a wealth of information. It was clearly explained and well organized. Have a wonderful day ! best regards, -VinceWheels

[@joankoser4969]

You are amazing. I learn so much from you. Thank you so much.

[@amrisk]

Thank you yet another informative and awesome video!! I love how you show step by step how to approach a platform. And all your views are so earnest.

[@alladin4u2]

wow,wow,wow, thank you so much Mey for the terrific content. This really blows me away. I appreciate extraordinarily how well you explain the contexts in detail, as well as that you also list pros.and cons. Everything seems comprehensible and realistic for one's own implementation. fantastic work of yours...luvit...

[@soniachern7268]

Haven't watched the video but how did this video come at the right time?! 😮 I was preparing to upload my first product on society 6 and wanted to rewatch your old video for the size reference then saw this new video just uploaded an hour ago! 🙌 🙌

[@emilioleroux]

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and positive vibes around selling creativity!

[@BeteacherAnte-iv5nz]

Fantastic video. Very helpful

[@MeyTribe]

Glad it was helpful!

[@disenyo_ninyo]

Hi again Mey! I'm also using Repper and it's awesome!!! Great suggestion on the use of collections. I'll do that next time. Have a great day ahead! :)

[@disenyo_ninyo]

I have a question: are the 3 sizes in pixels that you showed on the Repper section of this video the suggested size? Or can I just use one size i.e. 9400 x 9400 and apply the different effects? Many thanks again!

[@MeyTribe]

You can use 9400x9400 only, you don't have to download all of my recommended sizes- but they won't fit all of S6 products, as S6 doesn't have tiling options like RedBubble or Zazzle.

[@steve_aventura]

Wow. You just made this video. Repper is amazing. I have been using midjourney v 5 to make seamless patterns by using the -tile parameter. I then take the result into photoshop and created an action to replicate the tile across a large canvas. I then get a big enough file to load into Society 6. However repper makes very interesting patterns. This video was my introduction to repper.

[@LearnEnglishByCartoon]

Thank you so much for your videos!

[@MeyTribe]

You are so welcome!

[@Geegeewiz]

I love your honesty and detailed advice. I am really struggling with the different platforms and how to stay organized and how to keep all of my business niches organized and manageable. I don’t know what to do first; Logo! Domain? Social media accounts? Right now I have about 5 niches that I narrowed down to and 500 logos to pick from and about 50,000 designs just waiting for a home! Do you have videos on step by step platforms and staying organized?

[@pippilangcoin]

Nice video again, Mey. Thank you! 🤗

[@lexie7557]

I love patterns for Home Decor. I look forward to Pinterest marketing! Thank you!

[@Roux-Haven]

Thank you so much for this video, Mey! I'm definitely gonna take note of those sizes. 👍

[@JustAndromeda]

I have that challenge in the bag! U would get nowhere 30 minutes a day. I'm trying not to get shiny new things syndrome. I just want to get my first sale before the year ends, that is the omly thing keeping me focused. After Christmas imma play with all the things for a couple weeks.

[@milandougildas5387]

Hey, very interesting video

[@MeyTribe]

Glad you think so!

[@amylouisebrutonl9051]

Brilliant video

[@MeyTribe]

Thanks :)

[@YagirlM]

Hey Mey. For some reason I cannot get designs to upload to society 6. Even with chrome, it takes ages for everything and it ultimately never fully uploads and I just waste hours trying to get anything uploaded and optimized. Any suggestions? I do tons of patterns and it kills me that I cannot for the life of me get them to load.

[@YagirlM]

My internet is perfect too, only this site has a problem.

[@lavendermintgraphics]

I have the same problem. Have used both Windows and Mac, different browsers and it's torture uploading anything! I've given up on them. I know many others struggle with uploading on their platform as well.

[@YagirlM]

@@lavendermintgraphicsthat can’t be good for business. Lol. I’ve pretty much given up bc I’ve tried for nearly a year and it never gets better.

[@JohnVijlbrief]

What a fun and relaxed way of presenting! Great tips you've got. But... are you satisfied with a 10% commission on each sale? You upload a lot of products, but are you also achieving a reasonable income with this? I'm very selective about what I want to offer. With Society6, I get the impression that it's made very easy. Or am I seeing that wrong? Thanks!

[@astridmariana25]

Hey Mey. Question, which one do you think society6 vs Zazzle? I can’t seem to find the right info. I don’t know which one to choose :/ thanks a lot!

[@cindyhill519]

Thank you for this video! Just what I was looking for! I love your pillow with the blue liquid pour pattern. Is it just a large pattern or a seamless pattern? If a seamless pattern, how was it created? Thank you again for the information you provide on all your videos.

[@MooreArtco]

First of all thank you so much for all your hard work showing us all this amazing information, but in this video you should let us know before hand that you are going to show and teach us something new and ADDICTIVED, this is me🤯🤯after downloaded one picture @repper and play with it for hours. Thank you so much you are the BEST.

[@anigarzat7]

Great tutorial, thanks. On which pod platform have you earned the most money?

[@sharonschwalbe2072]

Don't bother with S6, they are removing all but 10 designs from artist shops that have been partners with them, some for 12 years. Work is permanently deleted. You have to pay them around $156 per year if you want to upload a large quantity of designs. Plus the seller now is charged or has to cover some of the shipping costs.

[@anyavanwyk]

Hi Mey! Thank you so much for your videos! They are invaluable. I just have a question - how do you know what the quality will be of the final product?

[@digidesigns7028]

Ok question. You say about having various stores on Zazzle and S6, So does Zazzle or S6 pay you as one name or as various names of your stores? Like does Zaz or S6 just pay "You" or do they payout per store name? Thany You. You are an amazing person.

[@juniordougiie9385]

my bad if u mentioned any of the things im about to as ( i caught the premier towards the end and my data closes in a few minutes so i'll watch it whole 1st thang tomorrow morning. so my question is how many designs do u have at present..and hows your success looking like (on society6 that is)...

[@shaima6748]

Thank u

[@MeyTribe]

Welcome :)

[@Zezo-nl4ul]

On what does the appearance of design depend on society6? I try to search for my designs and I do not find them, just a lot of designs

[@georgianam2459]

I use Repper too. I saved it at 12000 x 12000 and when I try to export Repper has me scale down the pattern so I can achieve 300dpi. Is 300dpi critical? Also, the file was about 200mb-too large for Society6. I noticed when you exported from Repper and uploaded to Society6 you had no issues. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks-Georgiana

[@MeyTribe]

It probably scales you to 300 DPI cause that's the DPI you've set up. if you type in a lower DPI you will have to scale less. Different print providers require different DPi for different products, even within S6- a poster will not have the same DPI as a shower curtain. 300 covers all of the products. The file is downloaded in PNG, I usually convert it to JPG in order to upload it to S6 :)

[@georgianam2459]

@@MeyTribe is quality an issue as a jpeg being enlarged? I appreciate all your help

[@MeyTribe]

@@georgianam2459 The JPG will not be enlarged unless you open that file and force it to be even bigger than the size downloaded from Repper, which is reduce the DPI. Usually JPG files are used for printing, not PNG due to size. They are both great, but JPG in the right size & DPI are just fine :)

[@kammyscreations9948]

I'm a complete newbie and I made a file 5,000 x 5,000 pix in Canva and when i went to Repper it said it cannot upload file because its too big? What did i do wrong?

[@kirtikiki5988]

Hey Mey. I have an doubt with downloading printable at Canva. While downloading the printables in "PDF Print" format, should we need to select the " Crop marks and bleed option " before uploading it to etsy? or can the customers who buy the pdf give the crop marks n bleed before printing them at printstore ? Thankyou

[@hltan2882]

Society6 is going to start charging artists with subscription plans, on top of the additional shipping fee to be deducted from each sales. Maybe you can talk about other free alternative ?

[@MeyTribe]

I am just reading that email from them now, will make a video about that

[@johnrichard7160]

How do you do research for a design or hope it sells something I have not seen you do.

[@JaGorman-gw4og]

Would you still recommend society 6 with all the changes it is going through

[@gruppe8]

I wouldn't they are only interested in taking subscriptions from artists nothing more, I was on their for 12 years 6000 images they wanted myself to pay a saubscription but would not put my latest images on the site, you can pay $180 a year subscription and your work wont appear on the main site, so they lost my subscription and around 4000 dollars per year profit when i went from 6049 to 10 images when i get paid the account is closed

[@liquidsilver55]

I thought you could now set your commission rate on any item now on S6?

[@LieslWeppen]

20:50 In the US, Android equals Samsung, I think.. Whoever there has an Android phone instead of an iPhone, has a Samsung, not like Europe, where we have like a million different Android phone brands.. Looks like I'll never be able to design a phone case for my realme phone.. 😆

[@fayjonesday4041]

Can I sell on Society6 using my tile designs?

[@MeyTribe]

As shown on the video- Society6 doesn't have a tiling option from the designer ... You can sell tile designs, but you have to "expand" them yourself- based on the sizes I mentioned here.

[@rivergrrrl1256]

Just curious-what does Society 6 mean???

[@LoneJensenArt]

It’s so frustrating that they haven’t got the repeat pattern feature!

[@MeyTribe]

It even more frustrating - as they did have that feature several years ago when I started with them !! I think that, even with it being annoying.. it ends up being a good thing... Maybe not just that, but also the fact that you cannot upload a smaller file than needed... as random spammers that thrive on RB and TP cannot really design for S6- it's too slow and complex for them, leaving this platform rather "cleaner".

[@Zezo-nl4ul]

I don't find my work on society
