@@shimmymorris1 I can definitely design shirts, just find it hard figuring out the programs for all of them. Also I have my own artwork and want to know how to sell it. But I may have figured out the digital process. Lots of video watching. Good thing I’m retired ha ha. Thanks again Shimmy.

Shimmy, you are such a gift! Found your channel around 2 months ago and you're a breath of fresh air!!!!

Worth every penny being in the hub. People helping each other and the information passed around the hub has been so helpful. After 3 years of trying to build a t shirt brand....I found the information I've been looking for. ❤

Great video, I was so upset that I was not accepted to Amazon and no more tears 😊 I laughed out-loud at Etsy “research, upload, wait, go on uploading, wait, wait wait!” defines my situation perfectly! struggling in Etsy and working on my Shopify 👍 for the moment 😉

Can you do a video regarding how customer service and returns are handled for POD? That info will help me make a decision whether I list on a marketplace or open a Shopify store. Thank you.😊 Also, how do credits work or exchanges? I don't see much info on this topic.

I’m interested in starting print on demand with Shopify. My question is what is a ball park amount of money you recommend having in order to get started. I really want to get started as soon as possible, but I am working on cleaning up my credit, so I currently don’t have a credit card I can use. I’m very serious and only want to do Shopify.

[@aaronbowersock]

I'm trying the facebook ads strategy, and using their general (wide) targeting. "Letting facebook find your audience," as you say. A question I have - how does facebook know? Is it using my title and blurb to find keywords? Let's say my niche is dinosaurs - with a headline "Your new favorite dinosaur shirt", would facebook target people who have interacted with dinosaur media recently? I can't seem to find how this targeting works. Thank you.

[@id58825]

Shimmy, a question. From your experience, printify mockups works on fb ads or you recommend trying different mockups?

[@shimmymorris1]

I make my own mockups. I haven't tested Printifys for Ads so can't say if they'd work or not

Good question, you could try something like fiverr or upwork? Just make sure that they have some reviews!

[@rashipp4982]

I see so many shops using Comfort Colors as their advertising photo, the first photo, yet they don't offer Comfort Colors shirts...they'll do anything to try to make a sale, how about some honesty, I guarantee you if i ordered one and got a cheaper shirt, I'd get my money back that's false advertisment and it's everywhere. Drives me NUTS!

[@TheDiligentSoul]

What are your thoughts on using ebay?

[@patriciaosuch]

ive come to conclusion that this thing only does well if you are a techy type. I am not, but thought I new enough to learn, saw the adobe express talk on the printify program today, went to the site, was definitely not the same. I have my own art that I just want to get printed on posters etc, But can't seem to find a site that can do that easily, have them all vectorized but I'm so lost. Sucks to get old, I'm 76 and pissed I did not do this a few years ago, ha ha maybe in the next life!!

[@gloriafrancis7621]

Hello Shimmy Re Amz Merch, would you recommend just biting the bullet and paying for a Pro account and sell your merchandise instead of the waiting and scaling up tiers strategy? Surely if you factor in the time, monitor your spend vs revenue & profit (as you should be anyway), a successful product will pay for your monthly subscription? Plus the other fees associated with the Pro account.

[@shimmymorris1]

if you're willing to pay for an amazon account, i would say just go for shopify... much better chances of success

Hypothetical situation..if I am ever accept for Amazon...I have applied once and got rejected. So I have Etsy and have some best sellers, if I put up the same best selling design on Amazon...would my Etsy store risk of being shut down since my exact design is out there ???

This is very possible. The system could detect this as copying.

They shouldn't be if they're your designs. You might have to prove it at some point down the line

[@rustneversleeps85]

I thought Etsy didn't charge but took a few cents for every listing? Well, there go my plans.... What am I suppose to do, have 10+k on my account for Etsy to charge me anyway they please, not knowing what's coming or going? If you have those sums to be "playful" with you probably don't need Etsy to begin with, you probably already own a clothing brand. Etsy used to be for your average Joe. So is there any other place left that let's you list and only takes a symbolic sum for the listing and gets a percentage of the sale? Ya know, like Etsy used to be?

[@discoveramerica8097]

Hi I just signed up Etsy charged me $19 Why? You said $15

no idea. at the time of this video it was $15...

$99/month is steep for all of the costs it takes to run a POD business.

[@shimmymorris1]

For what’s included it’s far from steep in my opinion. The personal support alone is worth 10x that. I spend 4+ hours in the hub. Sometimes jumping on 1-1s with people to help them in their specific situation etc. The training, community, downloads, discount, experience just adds onto it. But of course it’s very subjective. I’ve been told by current members it’s too cheap… so everyone I guess is different

[@laurachevrette8060]

@shimmymorris1 guess I would have to try it to see if it's really worth it. There are a few other POD groups doing similar subscriptions I am looking at.

[@taxslasher]

In a previous video where you criticized "the guy" who classifies print on demand as "active" or "passive," I don't think you were quite fair. I've seen quite a few of his videos. He specifically says what he means by "passive." That on certain POD platforms, you don't have to deal with customer service, product returns, securing a payment processor, or building a website. He does say that you must do your research, adhere to trademark and copyright rules, work to produce products, upload them, and track performance. He does not say that all you have to do is create a T-shirt, upload it, then sit back and let the money roll in, as you seemed to have implied. You were a bit misleading about "the guy".
