WHY SUBSCRIBE TO WHOLESALE TED?
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 right business for THEM. Because there is no "best business" - there are just different businesses. Here on this channel, my mission is to help everyone choose a business to pursue that is right for them. And so a business that I enjoy running, may not be one that you would enjoy.
Because here is the truth when it comes to building a business: it isn't a way to get rich fast. Nope. A business is simply when you learn to do these 3 things really well:
1) Creating or finding great products/services to sell.
2) Putting those products in front of the right customers.
3) Giving those customers a great reason to buy.
And each person will have their own journey to get there with a LOT of hard work & sacrifices along the way 💪👊 which is why I believe that choosing the right business that you are passionate about is crucial! Here are some ways that I help new entrepreneurs do that:
* I show case studies of my businesses that I own & I enjoy running (such as Print On Demand ecommerce businesses), sharing my tips & strategies I've learned along the way.
* I show case studies of other businesses that other entrepreneurs enjoy (even if I personally wouldn't want to do them myself!).
* I make videos answering some of the "legal" questions people have when creating a new business (such as questions about copyrights & trademarks).
* Plus there is 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! 🔥

PEOPLE ARE IMPERSONATING ME! It breaks my heart: people are posting Telegram & Whatsapp numbers from accounts that have stolen my profile picture and are pretending to be me. These accounts are NOT me! They are fake! I will NEVER ask you to DM me on WhatsApp/Telegram/Instagram etc. This is my ONLY account and it has the verified tick & verified bubble so you know its me and not the fakers. They will reply to all comments EVERYWHERE - videos, community posts, you name it! Please do NOT contact these fakers! And please also report them. People call these numbers and get scammed. It breaks my heart 🥺 and if you see a bot account replying to someone else - if you could let them know it's fake, you might save them from being scammed by these bots too! 🥺 Thank you and I am sorry for the inconvenience! 🙏

[@Aworr]

The worst part is u had to adress this *problem which means there are people probably fell for this scams, I just can't get over how anyone to this day could fell for these even if your offical account have a post about DM you anywhere would be off putting/suspicious how could anyone belive u have time to chit-chat with "random" people in a scale of thousands of viewers each day just to think poeple so stupid is heartbreaking Sarah

[@jnellie1970]

Yeah…it’s too easy to impersonate nowadays. I got burned on a crypto account. It’s painful and they take everything.

[@Charles-yg9tj]

No prob here. I've gotten used to not believing any of those. Keep up the great work, Sarah!👍 And if rather have a long videos as long as it's a detailed tutorial 😎

[@yousanerd715]

It is not on you and sorry your going through this hardship

[@karamoseley2936]

That happened to me .

[@oldhaggys]

your videos are NOT too long. just people who want things to go fast and not putting in the work :( if they think they are too long they can watch it sped up. I LOVE your longer videos

[@shawnmichaels4805]

I'll make it faster for them just for reading this comment: "Sell T-shirts, make money."

[@TheRm65]

Agreed. I have no problem whatsoever with her longer videos. I find them interesting and valuable, which is precisely why I watch KZbin in general and Sarah in particular.

[@juliannordic3218]

Does neon effect uses transparency? Can I make it fluorescent? 👀

[@theone215114]

I back this 💯 %

[@theafricannomad_]

Sarah, you're not just a creative designer - you're a brilliant teacher as well. Thank you so much!

[@WeaselWorks]

The length of one's video will ever only be a problem if they're filling that time with trash or nothing. Your videos are always jam-packed with valuable information, so this is never a problem. If you had a 4-hr video, it would not be too long! The value:time ratio is all that matters, and in that, you are the very best. Thank you!

[@coeltaco.8420]

Thank you for taking the time to create a detailed tutorial. Please never stop making your longer videos because they are so helpful! If someone has a short attention span, they can always come back and finish your videos later.

[@whatznext28]

Thanks Sarah! I'm glad you made this video. It answered so many unanswered questions I had. I never think any of your videos are too long. You cover exactly what we need to know to be successful in our businesses

[@carolday3381]

man i love how much info you put into your videos plus the detailed broken up explainations. It helps when you let each point sink in, so they build off the next one and the next. i really learn things from your way of teaching. I find some other people are too quick or even jump over things as if i am expected to magically understand the why of things. As a newbie to this i just don’t understand so appreciate the extra efforts explaining things for us all. Thank you very much. I really like the creative outlet using canva for t-shirts and Etsy stores as i wanted a way to do art, but also have a way to make it pay. This is so cool. 😀

[@noeleenvantonder3886]

Sarah I simply love watching you are so different than other youtube channels I have watched regarding POD , you go more in detail which I love thank you for sharing and actually teaching us exactly what to do.

[@alexalexander3284]

I like the long, attention to detail, step by step tutorials. That is the best way to learn how to do something right from the get-go. Especially for those of us who want to start an e-commerce business, it is greatly appreciated to have step by step videos. Thank you for all your help! 😊

[@just_toko]

You are the reason I started POD and once again you've delivered with EXACTLY the information I needed. I've been a follower for almost 5 years. Thank you for your openness to share and clear explanations. ❤️

[@thenobosslife7098]

How's your POD journey going? you still doing it?

[@Lunangel]

As a total newbie to design I LOVED this video and found it very helpful how you broke everything down for us to understand. Thank you so much! 💕😊

[@SuperFitnessForever]

Your videos are not too long, I love them and wish they were longer. I like when you provide lots of detail.

[@cherryblossom1747]

THANK YOU SARA! your videos are just perfect, not long or short, and you really show us what the title of your video says, not like other videos on youtube, which sometimes don't show us everything. thank you for sharing 🙏

[@Nayi2811]

Sarah your videos are the best! I can see the love you put in every detail making everything easier to your audience. Great job sweetie ❤

[@bobh9892]

OMG! Thank you for this vid! I have just created my 1st t-shirt design and it would have taken a whole lot longer to figure out without your assistance. Thank you, Sarah! PS Your videos are EXACTLY the correct length for any topic I've ever watch. Keep up the great work!

[@SteveInQLD007]

Hey Sarah, just the info on choosing SVG vs JPEG images was worth gold right there, I was aware of the different file types and how they worked but was sure on how best to use them! Thanks so much. As well, knowing if the graphic has editable colours, then chances are it's an SVG file, loved it!

[@aysamarshall5829]

You saved my life and sooo much time! I was struggling with the DPI issues and battling with trying to modify the image size on POD provider's site...I was constantly going in circles. Thank you!

[@farealwitit7947]

i LOVE how you took your time to explain everything slowly. i watched maybe 3 other videos and they didnt explain everything. ANNOYING. ty!!!

[@ranellcollins8364]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! So many people do these tutorials for beginners and assume we understand all of the little things they are doing. This is exactly what I was looking for!

[@infowazz]

I reallllllly want to do this. I am a g designer and come up with great ideas but viral tees are often simple and dumbed down. I also am getting into dig marketing now and it would be fun to combine them both. YOu are my number one go to person for such things and your course looks really nice! Congrats on kicking butt!!!

[@cyramclennan2580]

I love your videos Sarah! Thank you! I am planning on starting a store with some jewelry I physically have on hand and make, but I also want to have some shirts and POD products around the same niche. I think I finally found it 😍 so happy! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@theresourcefulrealtor7127]

This was the most descriptive video I've seen on the subject! Very easy to understand and just the right amount of detail. Thank you!

[@larrythelobster5633]

Oh heck no I don't think your videos are too long!!! In my opinion the time of your videos are good because you talk about every little detail and squeeze it into a 20-minute video and I say that's impressive!👍💯

[@queenofweaves916]

Thank you so much 😊 I’ve just started using Canva this year to create videos and I love it. I want to get into pod t-shirts so this is perfect! Keep giving us detailed videos, yt does have transcription people can use it to skip ahead.

[@ultimatecouponlady]

Excellent video Sarah. Some KZbinrs doing tutorials leave out some of the important little details such as what button to click and where the button is located. A little bit frustrating. Also, thanks for the extra printing tips that I haven't seen from any other KZbinrs! Your tutorial is spot on and I can't wait to watch more of them! Thanks for all your help!

[@elainefoster9375]

Please keep the long videos. Right now I have extra time on Fridays to watch your videos . Thank you so much! Your are such a blessing to all of us!!! God bless you and thank you again. The world needs more honest people like you❤

[@sprightlyaurora3501]

Listen, this is the 3rd video I've watched and I had to subscribe. I love that you go into every detail and appreciate how you explain the steps. Thank you!!

[@Nta313]

Videos not too long for me ! I appreciate your in depth insight and tutorial. You are on point ! Thank you!

[@networkjd1]

I'm new to POD, Etsy, and Canva. I am watching a lot of your videos on my journey. This one is great! I got a pro Canva trial account and followed step-by-step. I've never learned how to use Canva. I'm a retired Software Engineer and I want to learn how to sell on the different merch platforms and express my creative side as well. Thanks.

[@CandyceHines]

Your video absolutely helped me. It was my first time following you step by step and I was very impressed with how my creation came out. Thank you. Your videos are always great. The longer the better. Your very detailed and that to me is very important.

[@dorothywalter7951]

❤️❤️❤️. Love your longer videos with lots of detail, so we can actually learn how to use Canva!!! Pleeeeease keep teaching us!! I really think you're the best teacher I've had on my life!! I learn slowly and need the detailed instruction. Your videos make it seem not so overwhelming!! 😍

[@janeymclean6108]

This was amazing!!! Thank you so ooo much for doing this detailed video. You answered all of my questions. Thanks again!!😍

[@vikram4746]

Thank you Sarah. I was stuck with the low resolution thing on Canva which came out to be around 177 dpi. You explained it really good. Thank you.

[@ermarshall23]

Thank you so much for all the information. Not just for this but all your videos. Been taking notes to work one it when I have time. Again thank you

[@neilpearce]

Love this, I learned a lot and I know how much work goes into doing these videos. I'm a UI/UX designer (17 years) and only now getting into Canva for t-shirt design. So you're videos are a great help x

[@Sueprises]

Thank you Sara, you are helping me so much to create my store ... I'm working with Gelato and Shopify. I tend to not follow instruction and had to take a few steps back and start over, but I'm starting to get the hang of it, yay, and that's only because you do take the time to show what you're clicking and not going at a speed that slowing the video down doesn't help. So today you have solved a few problems for me with this video, where are my canva files going, did I need to export them? So you showed me what I needed to know and extra information on the graphic size which is also so very helpful, I took notes. I hate working online with my art, but I need to get my site up and running soon, so I'm going to get the Canva Pro and get some products up ... thank you Sara, you are one of the few worth watching and you deserve double your subscribers. Have a great day.

[@wisdomknowledgelover6293]

[@charlottehyatt9601]

I found this video answered a lot of questions I had. I never thought your video’s were to long because I want to know how to do it/create a sustainable/legacy business. I don’t want to be one of the ‘here today, gone tomorrow,’ people.

[@davionmcknight5439]

[@jbmpixel]

Hey Sarah, first let me say that I love your content, and I do believe you are one of the rare youtuber that gives valuable informations, brutal truth, and you do know what are you talking about from your own experience. So for that I want to send a massive THANK YOU to you. I wanted just to ask you, why are you not making any videos about dropshipping,? Because I'am watching the old ones from 4 years a go and I find them extremely valuable filled with high quality information. I really hope that you consider helping again with dropshipping again, otherwise, thank you kindly for the lessons that you have given us for the past years. I wish you have an amazing day. Johnny

[@Corsina]

I would much rather have a video explaining something - even RE-explaining something - rather than a video I don't understand because it's too short and jumps around and what-not. You can always skip through something you already know - but you can't find something that isn't there. Just my humble opinion. I love tutorials and thorough explanations!

[@NeverGoFullGoblin]

I have a question! I know you mentioned using only the artwork that has multiple colors to ensure we are using a scalable vector image. I would assume that some of the elements in Canva are actually scalable vector images but may NOT include multiple color options. Is there any way to filter by this criteria? The TL:DR of my question is if i want to use an image that doesn't have multiple colors, how can I ensure it will look good, i.e. be a scalable vector image? Thank you! Great video.
