Hey there I am Sarah (aka Ted). My goal is to help new entrepreneurs grow & scale a business that is right for THEM!
Yes - the business that is right for THEM. Because I believe that time is the most valuable thing we have, and that we should spend it doing things that we love: and what I love may be different to what you love. Which is why on this channel I share:
* Examples & case studies of businesses that I enjoy (such as Print On Demand ecommerce businesses) and sharing my tips & strategies I've learned along the way.
* Examples & case studies of other businesses that entrepreneurs love running (even if I personally wouldn't find it fun myself!)
* Plus a sprinkle of entrepreneurial motivation thrown in too!
I hope my actionable content can help you: whether you're running your own online business, or are in the process of building one, and want some tactical advice to help you along the way. If that is you, subscribe today! 🔥

What KZbinrs Don't Tell You About AI Art: 1.Approval required: To sell on most major Print on Demand (POD) platforms, you need to be accepted as a seller or artist beforehand, which can take a significant amount of time depending on demand. 2.High competition: There is an immense amount of competition, and AI-generated art is not as profitable as it may seem, since the market is saturated and professional designers are earning their living in the same space. 3.Clickbait videos: KZbinrs who create videos with thumbnails displaying specific numbers like '$7748.39' are selling a dream and making money off your clicks. 4.Passive income potential: cmon be real here, the market is saturated hope of selling anything, or else your pieces will be lost among the countless others. 5. Competition: and lack of promotion on side of platforms, i have uploaded 1000 full fledges designs with perfectly optimized SEO. Guess what i have zero sales. why, because anyone can do it nowadays. 6. Research: Plus, they skip the research part which is the very first step and the foundation of all your actions.

[@tahliabunnyy]

social media cant be trusted, this shit is all for views

[@DotaCandies]

110% true. All big youtubers are rich anyways. They try to make these click-bait videos viral and making even more money. And sometimes they even offer Affiliate-Links etc. ALL this is totally unrealistic. If u could make 200 Bucks a month of this "idea", it would be STUNNING!

Well of course you must advertise your product if you want to sell 🤷🏻‍♀️ Basically, you have to create a whole separate business to push your stuff via TikTok, Insta etc

Just FYI - The background removal tools like 'Remove Background' and 'Photoroom' online *DO NOT* allow you to use any content that you upload using their tool, like removing white backgrounds from midjourney, you cannot then use that content with the background removed for commercial use. Personal use only. If you upload to Photoroom, they also take it a step further and allow other people who use their platform to also use your images as they wish and Photoroom also can do it as well. See their Terms: "you grant us the right and license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content on and through the Service. You retain any and all of your rights to any Content you submit, post or display on or through the Service and you are responsible for protecting those rights. You agree that this license includes the right for us to make your Content available to other users of the Service, who may also use your Content subject to these Terms." And from Remove.bg terms: "2.1. The User may use the platform which is accessible under remove.bg exclusively for non-commercial purposes. This means that all results from the platform (hereinafter: the Platform) may only be used privately. Use for (direct or indirect) commercial purposes is excluded." So I personally would avoid those background removal tools for commercial purposes or you could get yourself into legal trouble.

Thanks to Sarah for clarifying that POD, profit margins are usually somewhere between 15-50% and so the headline revenue figure of $10,413 a month at 2:45 translates to a likely profit somewhere between $1,562 and $5,207 a month.

[@alanhaynes9672]

Tried setting up my own POD tshirt business a little while back. Problem is that the margins are tiny. Nobody buys listings of over £20 or so for a tshirt even if its unique. Lowering the price to say £15 got me sales but after fees I was left with about £1. One single return wipes out 15 sales

[@WholesaleTed]

People do indeed buy t-shirts priced at £20 or higher. I and others sell our t-shirts for above those prices every day. It's about how you position yourself. Most people try to race to the bottom with prices, assuming that price is what stops people from buying, when in reality, having the lowest price can actually hurt your sales. I discuss that in this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH2Wn52qe7mFfZY

Is there a way in Canva to stretch text in a single direction? Such as want to make the lettering taller but not wider.

If you change the opacity of something you want to print on a shirt, does it come out as desaturated as much as you have the opacity set to? Or does it not change how vibrant the actual products colors will be?

[@WholesaleTed]

Opacity doesn't print amazing with DTG printers, it prints as less vibrant and can be fuzzy . For some art styles it's impossible to avoid and I do have designs that use it and customers for those don't mind, but where possible, I print with full opacity.

Hi Sarah! I'm in a bit of a situation, I'm planning to try out a POD business and have my eyes on Teespring (I don't have starting money for Printify/Printful). But I do want to branch out to Etsy and/or my own website someday. My question is, where would I redirect my customers, on my social media platforms, once I have these three shops set up? The obvious answer is definitely my own website, but what about the two, do i just ditch them and let SEO do its thing? Wouldn't people following my social media accounts be confused that I have a lot of links to different shops?

Creating the design is "easy", getting the sales if you're just starting is really hard. But if you're consistent, you'll definitely get sales. Improve your SEO and look for more tutorials. Don't think that you've uploaded 10 shirts you'll get $10K/week.
