Nice 😎

[@stellalivesay2230]

@alekShefffy I can't access the alpha site?

[@stellalivesay2230]

I just can't get started :( I'm confused about the mockups. Here, it's cool to just use printify mockup template right? But what about other products, how do I add my design to the mockup, that's the step I'm confused about since printify offers it's own mockups already,how would I use my own ?

[@Michaelrussell13]

Hey @Alek great content. Got a better idea for you. Same principles etc. But 5X the revenue, if intersetered please hit me up for details. You'll be amazed with what I've got. 2-3 businesses in one type of thing.

[@zzxalsmz5501]

hey alex, is this not too late for me to sell something digital on any platform? because there is so many competitor that do the same thing and they also has more sales,marketing,experience and everything else than i am, well it is, because im just stared, so.. let me know that this thing is work for me to start right now as a beginer of course, or its to late because its too bloated by the guys that start more early than me ?

*I didn't become financially independent until I was in my late 40's, and I'm still in my 40's. In addition to having purchased my second home and earning money on a monthly basis through passive income, I've also achieved three out of five goals. I just hope this inspires someone to realize that it doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things yet, you can start today no matter your age. Change your future by investing! I made a rather big decision by investing in the financial market.*

[@fionawats1072]

Investing in many sources of income that are independent on government paychecks is the prudent thing that everyone should be thinking about right now, especially given the global economic crisis. Stocks, forex, and digital currencies are still good investments at this time.

[@Elimoore_jk67]

Sure, investing is essential for maintaining your financial stability, but making any kind of legitimate investment without the correct advice of a professional can result in a significant loss as well.

[@reubenmezie9515]

It's really not easy investing or trading the financial market. I read a lot of books, tried to study, watch some tutorial videos, did a little demo before funding my account and I still lost a lot. The financial market could be very tricky

[@stephaniebrown7672]

Yeah I have same issue also, sometimes I feel like the market is being manupulated

[@KevinMelo-yz7ye]

Trading under the guidance of an expert is the best strategy for beginners.

[@jessicajordan680]

Your content always kicks my lazy butt into gear and gets me fired up to finally effing START. 🙌 Thank you.

[@alekSheffy]

Let's gooooo!

[@frankbell1408]

Amazing video Alek, please can you do a video on best stock to hold right now, i'm currently on $60k weekly with swing trade and want to venture into stock.

[@frankbell1408]

Oh yeah, that was possible with the help of my Guru Jenifer Spencer ❤

[@frankbell1408]

She's a licensed broker and entrepreneur from the state 🇺🇸

[@danielhounkanrin3861]

The best strategy is starting with a professional coach, as a beginner who knows little or nothing in forex market

[@Danielleryals]

@frankbell1408 wow I'm stunned someone just mentioned Jenifer Spencer, I actually thought I'm the only one working with her

[@Jasongriffin900]

You don't have to be amazed, there are a lot of people working with her. I'm one of her client from Texas

[@dealforbet8888]

Alek, your videos are so inspiring! I love how you break down complex topics into easy steps. Keep up the great work!

[@alekSheffy]

Geez thanks mate

[@dellingsdoor8231]

​@@alekSheffy hey Alek, ive watched many of your vids- good stuff but im curious what product you recommend (above all others) for a beginner Etsy POD person to start with? Thanks

[@emmamacgregor731]

Thanks so much, Alek!! Starting my first Etsy shop this week!🎉🎉🎉

[@sandhanitizerr]

how's your shop going?

[@Marytuoli]

Hello, we are the factory of custom phone case machine from China, are you interested?😊

[@hunnaswaggins]

Perhaps its been noted on, but could you maybe do a video explaining LLC filing if needed or how the business/tax side of things are laid out? Even if you're no expert, any insight is welcomed

[@monicamoore4329]

The thing to me is, if you invest and have other income outside of dividends then you will be able to live off dividends without selling. Which means you can pass that on to your kids which will give them a leg up in life. $52k dividends received in 2023.

[@richhands5269]

My three favorite channels: Alek, Stock Brotha, & How Money Works. Make my week complete! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@MichelleRubery-e3i]

If 68K people believe they can all copy and upload, and that will make them 6 figures then I guess I should congratulate you. You got a good thing going.

[@wherezthebeef]

My neighbor's little girl saw me watching your videos and asked me why the Ancient Aliens guy was selling on Etsy😅 Good stuff, M8.

[@user-gy8nu5ch4u]

Thank you so much, Alek! I hope you have a great weekend!

[@jan32114]

Danke, dass du mir sowas vorschlägst. Früher hatte ich Angst, wenn ich selbstständig mache, werde ich gehackt und manipuliert. Jetzt nicht mehr ;)

[@openyoureyes4799]

Thank you for this.. I opened a POD Etsy store in May, and I've only had a handful of sales!! I want to sell lots of phone cases! I am a commercial artist! Thanks again!

[@bryantasta5786]

You're a life saver, Alek. I was wondering if you could suggest more providers? I wanna know more about awkward styles cases

[@kristinachojnowski8712]

I’ve POD shirts for a month and so far nothing. I try to list a few items every weekend because I work full time. The niche is tough to make designs that you can easily pull inspiration from other things. I keep plugging away and learning in process.

[@alekSheffy]

You've got this 💪

[@MajklAstarin]

I have shirt, sweatshirt and hoodie POD, also 3 weeks old and also nothing so far, but I hope it will come, but since I also list mostly on weekends, it will come only later than it would if I list 3 items every day.

[@Draco.Invictus]

@@MajklAstarinQ1 is a slump for online shopping, and is felt across the board. There are just fewer shoppers this time of year. You might want to run etsy ads on your best designs, set it to like $1 a day (so you don't spend too much). Etsy ads are PPC (pay per click), so you are only paying for people who actually click into your listing. If you do run ads, let them run for a couple weeks without touching anything in the ad. Give them time. If after 2 weeks you are not seeing any traffic, you need to look at your mockup, your design, your pricing. Basically look at the various parts of your listing thumbnail. If you are getting traffic but no sales, look at the various parts of the full listing itself. Hope this helps.

[@blakdragn]

Alek, I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO GRATEFUL for your video tutorial!! I'm exploring online businesses, and your tutorial stands out as an easy path for me! I'm trying it out this weekend with your step-by-step guide by watching your video repeatedly!! :) THANK YOU AGAIN!

[@daftpowe2362]

Did you put it up? What's your experience so far?

[@blakdragn]

@@daftpowe2362 I haven't yet had the time and energy to launch my online business. I work at a job that takes so much energy from me each day. I'm being honest and transparent. But I'm planning to launch hopefully soon. Everyone needs to do their own launching rather than waiting and watching others to prove that it works.

[@johnmelvin7284]

How did it go?

[@godricrandom]

Be mindful that website creation is limited access to 5000 images made user group and up. New users will not be able to use the alpha website. (Info is correct as of Feb 4,2024)

[@snickerdimple9294]

I wanted to check out the alphamidjourney I can't get on, I've been with Midjourney since Sept.

[@mmoideas]

Hey! This video was super helpful. I love how you broke down the process of starting a phone case business in 2024. The AI design tip is genius, and the examples you shared are inspiring. Thanks for sharing your insights

[@Marytuoli]

Hello we are the factory of custom phone case machine from China, are you interested?😊

[@TerrifyingOfficial]

this is basically dropshipping and not "SIDE HUSTLE" stop spamming people

[@elenaanadolis1976]

How are you allowed to use the images created by the website without being accused of copying?

[@thembamdluli01]

Hi Alex. Stressing and drowning but I will swim out of my deep end. Im broke going crazy without knowing where to start. Im going to take your advise to start with printify. Then Etsy then design. Please bear with me its just not happening so I just not getting to where I wabt to.

[@pvanukoff]

"Could" and "can" are the magic words :D

[@dadonthetube]

Alek, I saw tonight that Etsy has started holding the money of a lot of stores and even shutting down stores that have been with them for years. Do you know anything about this?

[@badejong]

Again Thank you for this video. Still no sales on my site. But items are getting favorited. It will come eventually...

[@juliemiles2528]

Great video Alek! Thanks!

[@alekSheffy]

Glad you liked it!

[@simonc4077]

Hey. Where do I find info about the product you built? You mentioned a link in the description but I cant see one. Cheers :-)

[@pastorharman6920]

Alek at 11:47, you might want to change it to "Organic Traffic". 😉

[@totalitron]

I'm just about through getting ready to get ready to start - ridiculous how many excuses are auto-generated to °not° take a hold of this - ugh

[@kbron69]

Selling volume on Etsy is a scam. You are paying them .20 just to post the item, scale that up to 1,000 items listed. $200 to Etsy with no sales.

[@alekSheffy]

If you post 1,000 products and don't get sales then your products/designs really suck. You could easily post 10 products, and run $200 in ads, and end up with no sales. Volume is the way.

[@totalitron]

I would like some clarity on how Figma is being used; is it simply a whiteboard for ideation?

[@phoenixoliviacopy2727]

This is great. Do you have any videos strictly on the marketing aspect of the store? It's one thing to create hundreds of products but if no one sees them it's not going to matter. Marketing advise from you would be greatly appreciated.

[@VaibhavShewale]

i tried so hard and all my account banned, in the end i just turn to give it all up!

[@ajmk22]

Can you do a video on some of the NOT GOOD Companies warning people? I don’t have a platform. And if you are interested in hearing the SCAM THAT IS “PLACE IT” I’d love to save others the $130 I wasted. It’s not right. I’d love to also find someone like you to have videos that are amazing like this but also ones that are REAL in warning others of potential misleading SASS

[@alfredialfi7712]

Hi Alek ! Thank you for these amazing videos, I just wanted to know more of the legal procedures of running this business.

You know what.. this inspired me to start this journey. Thank you Alek! LFG!!!

[@alekSheffy]

Let's goooo 😈

[@Projekticarus]

The alpha midjourney link doesn't work. It still takes you to their main page and can't generate prompts

[@Henycygirl]

Same for me

[@RobertoMello79]

Do you have a different store for every niche?

[@xSoYeahThatHappenedx]

Love the content. Could you please do a video or short dedicated strictly to SEO? Mt wife and I are tired of working for other people and we hope to one day attain financial independence with all the help you've provided. Thank you so much.

[@EricKristof-b6d]

That's a very loud statement. Usually people who want to earn money just start doing something that involves risks, investing, investing. And not apps on your phone, that's ridiculous

[@Rickymojito]

Alek, superior information but dude. Your program and others never talk about mockup availability and all the other images needed. You cannot just use a white background, how do you automate mockups on other images in prinify when it does not allow you to use your own images. At that rate I would still be doing manul work to create all the images for each post including the matte vs the tough case. You're missing a lot in this video and its misleading to make it seem easier than it is

[@rodart1945]

Do you have a video on how to start on etsy?

[@INKO-OFFICIAL]

I'm very blown away by the quality and density of every single of your videos! Thank you so much! I'm learning a ton and the best part is that it all feels like a freaking fun game!

[@tttttt1000]

Hi Alex. I have a paid midjourney subscription but don't have that website upgrade to work within the site. Is there anything that you need to do to get that?

[@maz9552]

For that site to work, you would need to have created at least 5000 images to be included in the club.

[@poppy789987]

Awesome content. Thanks Alek!

[@RenataBka]

I don't get it, the midjourney alpha does not open the kind of page you are showing int this video. Ok now I get it this is the new fuction that is available only for the people who has generated more than 10K or mor images. I am new, so not possible to get this function yet

[@mayaaa1096]

same here, just generated 250 images so I can't get in the alpha website. pure sadnesss

[@Ishtarlvx]

I’m a bit confused.. why would he let u use something that he invested so much? What’s the catch ? How much is really for using this ? Anyone that used this method?

[@mike160785]

Can we get info on how much capital you'd need to start a business like this? I know you need start up money because you have to pay the print on demand company before etsy pays you.

[@rickmartinez1769]

I can see how this will work. The only thing is we would have to do this every year for the new models of phones and then delete older phone case listings for older phone models that are outdated.

[@MelindaMindy]

I’ll do that once a year for a fat bank account 😂

Ok, that's cool. But how about the product? Where can we actually get to make them?

[@gregkesner1418]

Hey, Alek -- I love your content and your kind, facilitating efforts on our behalf. I noticed that whomever edited your video transposed the "n" and "a" in the word "Organic" around timestamp 11:50 - making it "Orgniac". "Organiac Traffic" sounds like something you'd find on the planet Orgnaic. 🧐🙂 Just kidding -- just thought you'd want to know. Anyway, thanks for another great video!

This doesn’t work. Printify has bad mockups and your listings aren’t SEO optimized or tagged properly. I don’t think ads or spamming the platform with variations works either.

[@wMoreno0601]

Hey Alek! Im starting my own business and Im looking at the different suppliers that Printify offers for phone cases. I see the one that you showed on this video is the one supplier that does not have iPhone 15 cases, but it does have the rest. Do you recommend making 2 listings, one for this supplier with those case options, and different listing with the supplier that does offer iPhone 15 options?
