Subscribing, honestly I feel like you’re coming from a genuine place and really trying to inform people and help and I can appreciate an honest person when there’s so much bs information out here 💯

[@shimmymorris1]

thank you so so much! I really appreciate that

[@claragomezb.7849]

@@shimmymorris1 Hi! Would you consider making a video about which of these print on demand platforms can be linked and work well with Buy Me A Coffee, Patreon, Ko-fi and other community donation platforms? I think it would be quite useful information to have in hand.

[@tsundasphere]

this is pretty much the only video somebody new to side hustles needs as an introduction :)

[@shimmymorris1]

thanks so much! glad you liked it

[@LetsGoChaseThatTrain]

Going all the way back to when I was mowing lawns as a teenager back in the 1970s, I've always noticed that the less anyone was paying for something, the more demanding they were. Exponentially.

[@shimmymorris1]

wow! that's epic

[@Quickdraw1111]

The side hustles on KZbin that I come across all the time are: pressure washing, trash can cleaning, window cleaning, cleaning gutters, pet waste removal (picking up pet poop), TikTok Creativity Program, Selling A.I. artwork at Etsy, Selling POD mugs, making video reviews of products at Amazon. It would be good if you could give your opinion / do reviews on some of these. Particularly that of pressure washing, making video reviews of products at Amazon, selling POD mugs, and the TikTok Creativity Program.

[@shimmymorris1]

great idea! I knew i missed a few out

[@InspiredInsights4U]

Thank you for this list. I was actually pretty interesting and I do agree with a lot of what you were saying one thing that I would caution on and this is from my son and daughters personal experiences. Be very careful of selling anything on Facebook marketplace it is so ripe with scammers who typically want to, purchase your item using some sort of cash app and they trick the user of giving him more information than they really need for the app to work and it ends up being a nightmare if you’re gonna sell on Facebook sell for cash and do your exchanges in a parking lot of the police department?

[@shimmymorris1]

Yes 100% I made a whole video on Facebook scams as I was targeted more than 10 times. It’s a scary world and Facebook is crawling with scammers

[@mystikosportal]

Great video! you should make an Every POD Best to Worst. 🙏

[@madshader]

I'm not sure why, but your videos always make me happy.

[@wandapeguero7162]

Thank you so much for this video and honesty. I'm looking for the best platform to sell digital products. Btw I subscribed!

[@NicoleGlass]

Great video. Not sure I would put Stock Photography into the "Wouldn't Touch" category though. But what I would suggest is uploading Stock video instead. Much higher payouts. It is, however, a numbers game, as you said. But if you get a decent amount of newsworthy clips up, you can do very very well. In 2020, I filmed clips of things like empty store shelves, people wearing masks in grocery stores, BLM protests, the fence around the White House, newsworthy things like that... easily made $20,000 from those, and at least half the video clips were taken with an iPhone. There's potential if you have the right approach. But random clips of sunsets and beaches... no one will buy those.

[@AniMoted]

I am actually considering stock videos and have been watching youtube videos about it, your comment is another confirmation :) Do you have an advice on which platforms are good for this? I'm thinking of Adobe at this time. Thanks in advance!

[@shimmymorris1]

That’s very smart. I like this idea of “news worthy clips”

[@rikaaaaE]

Also, if you are already creating designs for POD, is it a bad idea to put those pictures to Adobe Stock, for example?

[@NicoleGlass]

@@AniMoted Yes, actually my channel largely revolves around stock photography/videos. I'd suggest Shutterstock and Pond5 for editorial news clips. Adobe is not so much for news content, but it's still a great platform.

[@killerkuh4942]

​@@rikaaaaE Probably not. In theory, a potential customer could go there and configure his product on his own for a cheaper price. But how many will do that? The question is does a POD design make sense on Adobe Stock?

[@DLD192]

I really enjoy watching your KZbin videos on your channel. In this video, you mentioned digital products and printables. Could you please explain the difference?

[@shimmymorris1]

Thank you! They’re very similar. Printable are products sold with the intention of the customer printing them. Digital products have the same concept but could also include stuff like: presets, luts, planners. Etc

[@Agentxile]

Ebay fees aren't that high and you can use the international shipping program that uses domestic postage and no VAT etc. I can send a package to Germany for the exact cost of shipping it to Texas. Also eBay has a postage program with reduced charges. Instead of a medium flat rate at $17.90 in the post office, ebay charges $14.30 if you order the label through them. eBay will send a 1099 if you sell over a certain amount or number of transactions.

[@shimmymorris1]

Ye eBay is good but as I used to do a lot on eBay a while back. If you compare it to know it’s become overly complicated

[@asmrspongegirlusa]

[@pelletized]

where would you put streaming, like on twitch or kick or another site?

[@Dero88]

First of all. New sub here! Awesome channel. Im sooooo close to get starting with print on demand. I know that print on demand isnt "passive income" as many youtubers try to make it sound like. But I'd like to know for how long, if you stopped right now, your different Pod-stores would likely sell. Or how well your products older than 1-2 years sell today. Do the stores die quick if you're not constantly producing? Thank you for all the work you do! 😊

[@shimmymorris1]

thanks so much!! It really depends, with Amazon merch, sales will continue to come in for much longer, with etsy, a little less, and with shopify, it'll die quickly if I'm not managing the traffic, ads, products, etc thanks for watching and supporting the channel! appreciate it a lot

[@ChrisCannonWealthVersity]

Great video!!! You just proved there is always ways to make money. It's hard to find the truth until you abandon your agenda!!! The greatest success in life, is on the other side of the false beliefs that we keep trying to prove to be true!

Hi Smimmy, I recently discover you and I can see that you are really honest and sincere when you explain things and show how to do and recommendations and I like the fact that your recommendations are not based on any sponsor program like the others do. Would you be able to create a video on create a shopify tutorial on how to create a store for print on demand with best settings, all the apps free and no free that you recommend to use for selling print on demand on shopify, best theme template, how to organize the categories in the way you did? What do you think? Some of the other videos on youtube are very basics and they do not really tell you what they are doing for them to be successful( if they really are). Thank you in advance! ( I am based in UK too!) Ciao, Gennaro and I am a content creator like you!

[@ZiggyLaCont]

This is superb. With regards to matched betting I would say if you can resist the temptation to gamble this one is a home run. Once you get your head around it it’s incredibly easy money. Easier than anything else on your list that’s for sure. I have personally made thousands of pounds from it. The downside these days is that there are now websites spoon-feeding people on how to do it and therefore the bonuses are much less than what they used to be. They are effectively killing the golden goose. I would say that it’s still worth a try though.

[@shimmymorris1]

It is a good way to make money but the reason betting places have these offers is because they know they’ll sucker you in to gamble more

[@ZiggyLaCont]

I have to respectfully disagree. Whilst the sole aim of the bookmaker is of course to sucker the punter in if you maintain discipline you won’t be gambling at all (in the true sense of the word.) I have never once felt the urge to gamble and have been doing this for years now. As with many things in life it all comes down to discipline.

[@francescopisano5390]

@@ZiggyLaCont so, while there are matched betters who actually started to gamble and lost a lot of money (across the communities you can read some stories), there are A LOT of players who never gambled and some of them grew up the business and did a lot of money. One of them is myself. Now you're right, situation is not the paradise as it was in the past, and high level matched betting requires skills, knowledge and bankroll that normal people cannot almost achieve anymore. But if someone wants to make between 200 and 500 euros per month in a super easy way, it's definitely the best way to do it

I have seen comments from multiple people on another KZbin video in which they say you can't be a TikTok affiliate unless you have 5000 followers. Have you heard anything about that? If that is true, then most people are not in a position to do this opportunity.

[@shimmymorris1]

I thought this too, i didn't have 5000, there is a way round it. I can't remember of the top of my head as i did it so long ago, but its where you create a shop and then you get access to the affiliate stuff. I can try find the video I saw where someone showed how to set it up

The only reason to sell someone else’s product is that you would want to sell a very expensive product that you can’t afford to produce yourself. Selling an expensive product means that each sale has a big commission. You don’t have to sell a ton in order to make decent money. You just need to get good at selling and targeting the right customers.

Good video but i have absolutely no idea why house and pet sitting are on a list of making money? You're not meant to make money with those, you get free accommodation for looking after a house and pet. There are dozens of these sitting websites now all over the world, its a huge industry. Im from the UK and have travelled the world doing house and pet sitting and have saved tens of thousands of pounds on accommodation costs all over Europe, Asia and Aus/NZ. I could never have spent years travelling the world if id had to pay for accommodation in each country especially extortionate places like Japan, Singapore and Australia, so im baffled why they are on a money making list? 🤔🤔🤨

[@shimmymorris1]

i added it to the list because growing up i was asked to house sit and pet sit. i don't mean travelling and getting to stay in new cool places, i mean people in your area that wanted to go on holiday but not leave their house unattended... that was paid as you are going out of your way to look after their house or pet.

[@asiatravels007]

@@shimmymorris1 Ah ok, I hadn't even thought of locally, like family, friends, neighbours etc, so just like babysitting? It's mostly students and teens that would do that sort of thing.

@@asiatravels007 Cat sitting usually means just popping in a couple of times a day to feed and maybe play with the cat. It works as cats are usually ok left on their own.
