No dumb expressions on your thumbnails, no exaggerated amount of money, more honest, that’s why I love your channel heather.

I appreciate the little outtakes and bloopers, makes everything seem more genuine and real and like I’m watching you Live. Probably easier to edit too! Love the content always.

Aww, thanks for the kind words here and for supporting my content! ❤

I LOVE that you love Chipotle. I'm a Czech woman and about 16 years ago, a spent several months in the US. There I discovered Chipotle and completely fell in love with the veggie burrito. Many years later I discovered that there is actually one Chipotle restaurant in Frankfurt in Germany where I am currently living. I travelled hundreds of miles from Hamburg to Frankfurt only to visit Chipotle - after 16 years! Needless to say, it was totally worth it.

As a fellow Czech living in the US I’m so happy to see your comment!

Dang that looks so cool! I’m seriously considering getting Kittl.

Hi, your microphone has a static and skips, please check.

Hey Heather, love love all your videos! Can you please explain when do I need remove the image background? Or how do I know if I need to remove the background or not. Thank you!

[@ma2perdue]

Go heather! I want to see the ReSeller license template but I didn't see it on your website?

[@meadowgirl-n3w]

Your channel is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for all you do Heather. I understand we can't use a design from Creative Fabrica etc., "as is" for POD items to sell on Etsy, but can we use graphics "as is" if we sell on Etsy and are making the items ourselves and shipping to the customers?

[@JoeCladis1]

Hi Heather, when you make mock-ups on Kittl, can you pick the actual t-shirt you're selling (like Bella + Canvas 3001) or do you pick an t-shirt image on Kittl that looks like it?

[@davidtremayne4963]

Hi Heather, greetings from the UK. As a newbie would you recommend a general shop with many unrelated niches, or a more of a niche focused shop eg pets or keeping fit etc. Loving your content by the way Heather, your becoming my go to for understanding this type of business. Very inspirational ⭐

[@heidicarter1974]

I am wanting to find the answer to this!

[@wellrootedwoman]

Niching down is best

[@priscillabernal8450]

Is there videos that are just simple step by step. Like kittl to Etsy for dummies almost? This seems to detailed if that makes sense

[@wendyon4517]

One thing if you sell in the USA and one other country like Canada... the print partners don't have the same range of colors as the USA market so base your colors on what the other market provider has. Otherwise the order will be printed in the USA, shipped between 10-30 days, AND incurs customs fees by the buyer. I had to turn off some colors because I extended sales to Canada. Also out of stock colors in Canada will default back to the US printing partner. I guess out of stock only applies to the default provider. Then you are faced with the 10-30 days shipping plus customs fees. This happened to me last week but I suggested switching to Gildan 64000 and they were fine. Got the order in 5 days.

[@gingayplantado787]

Hi! how would i know if a color is available in other countries?

[@wendyon4517]

@@gingayplantado787 in Printify you find producing partners in the country you also want to sell in. Then you choose only colors that can also be done in that country. For example Print Geek in Canada has Kelly Green and Army Green. Monster digital has both of those plus Leaf Green, Olive and Forest Green. So you only choose Kelly and Army Green to avoid production trouble. Or you choose what you like and deal with it when someone from Canada orders a color not produced in Canada. That might mean having Monster Digital make and send it. It might take 30 days to arrive AND the buyers would have to pay import duties

[@illbeback-24]

Do you have separate Etsy shops for each of your products ???

[@tsetse22]

Could you please tell me if purchasing an enhanced license on Shutterstock and using the images to sell items on Etsy with those images or graphics could cause Etsy to have issues with my store? Even though it is an enhanced license and I am paying to use the image whose license allows me to sell it?

[@KristenABales]

I have a question: Other watchers feel free to chime in. I have a pet parent boutique. I have a mix of items I sublimate myself, like mugs, keychains and bags. I also offer POD shirts and sweatshirts. I’ve been focusing on my dog and cat mom niche, as it’s worked for me in the past. But, if I want to be more profitable, should I try to branch out more? Like other kinds of pets, maybe go into the vet and vet tech niches. Or should I go full general store and ditch the pet niche? I make about 1 sale a month after returning to the platform in April. Looking for ideas on how to keep and gain more sales.

[@itsheatherstudio]

Yes! If you have a listing that is selling, that's usually a great indicator that maybe the design of that listing is something you can scale to other microniches or niches. If you're selling for primarily cats/dogs, then taking designs and replacing phrases for other niches is a great place to go next to scale. Also, like you suggested, the veterinarian, vet tech and surround occupations is great too! General shops do well on Etsy so don't be afraid to go outside of your niches. You can also crossniche with seasons & holidays coming up such as dog lover + Halloween or cat lover niche + Christmas to create designs specific to the holiday. It sounds like your on a good path here and sending the best wishes to your shop to grow!❤

[@KristenABales]

@@itsheatherstudio thank you so much for replying so quickly Heather! I truly appreciate it! I've been working on some fall dog and cat related items, glad to hear it's a good idea and direction! I'll try venturing out into some other niches using the designs that have been selling too. That's such a good idea I hadn't thought of. 😊 I always love watching your videos. You're so honest and always go over pros and cons, and tell things how it is. I know I can trust your content. 🥰

[@JackieD3924]

Here I am exploring and I can't get my design to upload to Etsy?? Help

so the kittl shows up on printify ..?? im lost lol

[@DroneFlyer]

Can we please see some of the great T-Shirts YOU have designed? Why do so many POD experts wear blanks?

Hi heatherstudio need thumbnail designer at cheap rates?

[@wendyon4517]

Have you ever designed on a smartphone? Im not looking forward to trying... My laptop crapped out yesterday and it'll be a while before its serviced.

[@itsheatherstudio]

I have! It is tougher but can be done. The phone apps for design I've used in the past that I'd recommend are Canva, Adobe Express, and GoDaddy studio. Highly recommend using those! Printify doesn't have an app but I used to do designs and Printify's website on mobile at lunchtime on my phone. The website is really mobile friendly at least which is a huge plus. Sorry to hear about your laptop and hoping this helps a bit!

[@fsalucard]

If you have a Samsung, Dex mode works wonderfully.

[@wendyon4517]

@@itsheatherstudio Actually Printify DOES have an app... in beta. And... my computer accepted a charge today. My friend has an 85W power delivery and that got it going. The stores only had 45W which weren't doing anything. I'm good to go with my laptop again 😁
