These 3 tools are awesome for sure. What about marketing? Is Pinterest marketing still the best free way to get your designs seen, as well as creating posts for socials? If you were to choose a paid marketing strategy, what would it be? Google ads, Pinterest ads, etc.? Getting your merch in front of the right people is just as important as picking the right tools and niches. Thank you for your awesome content, Shimmy!! 💖
Though your video is really well intercepted, @thebikeracer had mentioned correctly what exactly can be a game changer. Will be waiting for your video on it soon ☺️
Kittl is definitely a Canva contender, I'm just waiting for kittl work on mobile since to most of my work on the tablet. I love that you didn't use a template. That feels like really designing than just changing something in a template. Ah feels like can never keep up with all everything changing. Thankfully for your Videos to help understand these changing. Your the man✌️👍
I actually use Chat GPT to gather research one good about it is you can ask questions and key it to be percise you can also ask to sum things up and even gather from the beginning of the conversation. heard a lot about Kittl I think its valuable and being keen on illustrator it's very useful to get template and fix up in the program. I am currently on free plan and plan to get the pro version soon. other tool mentioned I haven't heard about it but will def utilize it soon as well. Thank you again for your videos. I like that you are genuine and realistic when you describe services, tools and products it makes getting them more worth it.
Good share mate. ChatGPT is hit and miss in a lot of places though. Depending on what server Cloudflare is connecting too, you might not get on it at the minute! I have been trying for 3 days and still cannot get on it. Hopefully it will either calm down soon or their server will get some serious upgrades!
@@shimmymorris1 I finally got access today but it's hit and miss getting on there. Anyone failing to connect could try using a VPN to gain access as mine was always having issues with connecting in Manchester and London 😉
Just bought your course and I'm really looking forward to starting my PoD journey! Quick question tho does your course also cover making a PoD store with Shopify?
Do you know of any that can easily remove backgrounds on?.... My only difficulty ive had so far or pay a site for credits" to remove at a 12mb file limit
Hello I'm trying to get a tee shirt business up but I don't know what laptop would be best? I'm on a very! Very! Very ! tight budget....do you know what laptop would be a good starter one to try and set everything up and get started designing and selling them? Thank you so much for any info you can provide, I'm so new and just trying my best to learn all I can.
Honestly anything would do, you could even use your phone if you wanted... I only use MAC so i'm not the best person for this question as they don't work with a tight budget. But there are a few good dell laptops out there
Hi Shimmy ,how much should we spend for facebook adverticing to identify the winnig product and design?(approximate amount) (expenses for facebook ad testing)
You should give free alternatives, as you don't understand everyone's conditions. Some people are from other countries including me. Anyway thanks for the ideas
@@itsjustme4026 it's really not. Just because you can't afford a tool doesn't mean you cant succeed with this business, people were succeeded long before these tools existed...
@@shimmymorris1 Honestly I keep selling my older stuff, haven't sold a single AI stuff (even though they are processed to be high quality and high rez). I'm under impression that Google could be shadow-banning AI art....
I think it would be more transparent if you disclosed that you are commercially involved with PrettyMerch. If you are shilling your own product it should be known to the viewer in my opinion.
@@shimmymorris1 but you didn't say it on this video. I haven't seen the other videos like a lot of other people, so it's assuming they know your affiliations.
@@PeteTheRock Ye, i made a whole specific video on it so i wouldn't have to keep mentioning every 5 minutes. TBH though, I'm not getting paid for this video, it doesn't effect me if people sign up. I just have a say in what features the tool gets and how it's made, etc.
So true lol. I don't mind if they copy the saying or the idea and make their own version of it, but I really can't stand when my designs, title, description, and everything is copied exact. I started to copyright my top selling designs with the US Copyright office and provide my license number when I report them. I hope that is getting the copycats banned. I have noticed my designs aren't getting copied as much anymore. It's not too expensive.
@@leroifox it's like $65 for each license. Plus if someone copies your design after the date you got licensed, you can sue them if they counter strike or refuse your request to take theirs down and all court fees and attorney fees are charged to them. I learned that through a copyright attorney.
excellent idea! I'd love to tell people about this if you'd be willing to give me more information. I'm from the UK so it's slightly different here but I'm fascinated to hear how it works in the US. If you want you can reach out on Instagram @shimmymorris1
I’m not sure how a platform where everyone in the community is free to use your designs for their products is good for a POD business. 🤔Read the terms before you use it.
@@shimmymorris1 kittl. I did reach out to kittl and they clarified. 😁 But apparently I’m not the first to understand it as I did. You can leave your projects private and it only shares when you opt to publish. Hopefully they will change the terms to reflect that.

It's one thing to design a great shirt...getting enough traffic to make it successful is another.
that is true! I'm testing new methods every day for that. Got a few videos coming out about it soon

ChatGPT is amazing for ideation, generating dozens of ideas in seconds. It's also helping me use apps that I'm not skilled with yet.
Rich people spend money to save time. Poor people spend time to save money. Thanks for a fabulous training!
yup, that's the way it goes
@@shimmymorris1 can you get the same quality of design with microsoft designer or canva , i dont see why kittl is better in your opinion .
Looks like Print on Demand is making a comeback…and THAT’S the way the cookie crumbles.😁

Hope you enjoy
thank you, you give very good adviiiiceee
you're welcome! thanks so much for watching
Great work sir
So nice of you
Very helpful. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!

oh awesome! thank you. Yes there should be videos in there relating to Shopify.
@@shimmymorris1 Another thing, is it possible to view the course on my phone?
@@nathan_yng How did the course go ? Any profits ?
Bruce Almighty was one of my fav movies! Classic lol. Oh and great vid. I’ve never tried kittl.
it really was a classic film! ooo you should definitely try kittl!
Do you know of any that can easily remove backgrounds on?.... My only difficulty ive had so far or pay a site for credits" to remove at a 12mb file limit
You can remove background with Kittl. :D

Bruce Almighty. Love that movie. Big Jimmy C fan.
nice!!!! same
Should I use kittle instead of canva?
Wich one is better
I would, it's just different, they're both good but i feel with kittl you're creating finished designs that are very professional looking
@@shimmymorris1 thanks mate🙏
can you make a video comparing kittl to canva for POD designing
good idea!
you're great software promoter...
Hi Shimmy ,how much should we spend for facebook adverticing to identify the winnig product and design?(approximate amount) (expenses for facebook ad testing)
I would put in around 25. But if I’m noticing it’s dead before then I’d probably leave it.
@@shimmymorris1 Thank you
Hey Shimmy, was the movie Bruce Almighty
Yes! Nice 👌🏼
2 subscription payments. What is the ROI after executing?
pretty high considering 3 or so sales would be breakeven
Shimy another great video think the movie you were talking about was Bruce Almighty staring Jim Carey and Morgan Freeman
yup!!!! well done :D
Ace Ventura… beeeautifullll
Bruce Almighty! But I always mix them up too :D
B-E-A you ti full
You should give free alternatives, as you don't understand everyone's conditions. Some people are from other countries including me. Anyway thanks for the ideas
I do understand, but sometimes there aren't good enough alternatives I'm happy to promote. I wont promote crap even if it's free...

ChatGPT only goes to 2021. So wouldn't trends through that AI be outdated?
Yeah, it'll be completely outdated. However we can still take various ideas or inspirations from chatgpt's responses. It's good enough for me.
That's why I wouldn't use it for trends, instead use it for evergreen ideas
Do you know POD ReliablePOD? :)
no i hadn't heard of them but i'll check them out!
So far 2023 not catching up in sales of POD to 2021 and 2022 for me
that's a shame! it makes sense though as people have less disposable income at the moment
@@shimmymorris1 Honestly I keep selling my older stuff, haven't sold a single AI stuff (even though they are processed to be high quality and high rez). I'm under impression that Google could be shadow-banning AI art....

Nex video
