These 2 have HUGE drawbacks. Etsys bots ban people randomly and the appeal process is bad. Merch by Amazon is not easy to be accepted. I WISH these negatives didn’t apply to so many people but they do.
I sell my print on demand items on Shopify. I’m not setting the world on fire, but I’m in control.
shopify is ideal but much harder and i didn't list it here as it's not exactly a replacement as you have to get your own traffic
Yep, shut me down after 2 weeks and obviously a bot replied in less than 10 minutes to my appeal
I put in a lot of time to learn Etsy and how to design the items I listed to be within the rules. Suddenly my shop was shut down. I appealed and was told, we're not going to tell you why, and don't waste our time further. We're not going to read any more emails and our decision is final. So actually, I was told to F-off without any reason.

Thank you Shimmy for sharing your experiences with the world! God bless and good luck!
Ty. It helps to have more realistic knowledge of what is achievable on each platform.
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching
Thanks for the Heads Ups as Usual. great Job and Thanks ..
No problem 👍 glad you liked it
Thank you very much, I just a month back started pop up store and working on pod.
nice one!
A very informative video
Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much!
Look forward for the next video.
thank you!
Did you made the video you've talked about in the end of the video?
Looking forward to that vid
thanks!
Great information. I tried Etsy before but got a bunch of my designs stolen. What can I do to prevent this? Thanks
it's a really hard one. You can send them emails asking them to take it down, but print on demand is rampant with copycats... not much anyone can do
I did have a Merch Amazon account but I hadn't used it in awhile, and then couldn't log in (the mobile phone I used, I no longer had and they wouldn't help with getting my account back). Anyway, since then I have tried to get back in multiple times, and I finally decided it wasn't worth the effort because you need multiple e-mail accounts (not allowed to use the same e-mail account). Which was fine because I already had 6 or more e-mails, however after trying more than 6 times (making more e-mail accounts) just for them to not accept me, I decided it was not worth it. When I got my first account on Merch Amazon, it was NOT this difficult to be accepted, and I'm pretty sure I had gotten accepted the 2nd time I applied back then. Anyway, with all of that being said, love your channel... wonderful content.
ah that's so annoying! Such a shame you couldn't log in! I hope it works out :D
Neither Etsy nor Amazon Merch are available for sellers in Brazil, any third alternative?
aw man im sorry to hear that. If you have start up money then i'd suggest shopify
And what about selling merch not to Brazil? I'm from Brazil and I was thinking about it.
Okay people! we have a new word! Let's all say it together now..."FUTURABILITY" I love that you make your own words! Call me weird if you want, but I've always done that🤣🤣🤣
Well, I think you just talked me into Etsy...again, lol. I've been back and forth on that for a long time. I think I will give it a try. Thank you Shimmy!
hahaha thank you!! Who doesn't love creating their own words haha. Good luck!
Thank you slowly moving to Esty and Shopify
nice one!
I jacked up my margins and I earn $3 - 5 per shirt. I have between 600 and 700 designs in in 2023 was selling around $50month, before fees. I was over $100 in November and December .
nice going! But it's time to scale that! you should be earning way more and you deserve to as well
On what platform? This is very little return for that many designs.
What's your thought on Fourthwall?
What do you think about zazzle?
It’s up there but not in the same league
This is insane. Why are people selling on this platform!! Thanks for the Video.
no idea! it's mad!
Very good video brother
thank you!
I'm a print-on-demand beginner living in Japan.
I always look at it with interest.
Amazon has failed the review three times, so are there any other sites you would recommend?
You can't sell on Etsy from Japan😢
honestly, if amazon and etsy both don't work I'd recommend shopify with ads and if you don't have the start up capital for that I personally wouldn't recommend print on demand
thank you. Can I use eBay, which I introduced last time, instead?
for sure, eBay has a lot of traffic and is a good option. The only drawback is the audience isn't really a print on demand buying audience. So, whilst it's possible to grow and get sales, it will be hard to scale@@55underdog14
Etsy is charging $15 to join its platform. What about eBay POD? Is it worth it to join?
Can you pls make a review for the platform called Selfy? They offer an online shop and print-on-demand in one. The shop has a very nice look, and the whole setup is very easy. This to me is important cause I have ADHD, and I feel lost when I try to set up all the other complicated platforms... The only downside is that you pay per month, but if is worth it... why not. I am on my try free period right now, pls make a review if possible. Thank you in advance.
To get rid of their logo you need to use the business plan for $49/m and the worse is you are billed "every TWO years" which means you must part with $456 right away for the starter plan and $1,176 for the business plan with no guarantee - this is insane especially for an unknown, untested platform - my advice is - do not bother, this looks like a trap and money grab.
I got banned on etsy, any idea if I could get back on etsy again? Thank you.
my etsy got a suspension without reason and my amazon was rejected
i'm sorry to hear! have you appealed etsy?
I have an Amazon Merch shop but they limit how many designs and listings I can have (it's like 10 separate items). Over several years I have not made a single sale.
it sounds like you are in tier 10. you can add more products as you move on to higher tiers
I live in the Caribbean and the banks here have the issue with the card or account being charged many times a day or week. They are cracking down on it and some no longer let you link Paypal. Any advice?
Switch to paying once a day manually by holding orders and complete them all in one go around noon to the PrintOnDemand service you're using. (Called Batching)
This way your bank account has one transaction per day.
Orders that arrive after you've ordered at noon, go into the next days orders
Hmm I’m not to sure with this one have you tried contacting support?

BtW: My HELPFUL answer that some how 'disappeared' here is now on their channel
(Whether reads it or not is here nor there)
Wonder if it will disappear there too like this 2nd reply of mine here
Etsy also shuts down sellers and bans for no reason
Im in South Africa and MBA doesnt accept paypal so i have to try making a US account which seems to be very hard but 100% worthed. Will definitely look into Etsy in the future its just that i like more passive style POD sites instead of active i really wish i could get on to MBA.
When you say passive... what are you hoping for?
@shimmymorris1 I mean make designs upload and work with organic traffic and some advertising.
ah ok. yes whilst it's more passive. there's still a ton of work to make it work
@@tyrque977
Do you think Zazzle is an option? What about Spreadshirt?
I would place that in the top 10. But not one of focus on…
@@shimmymorris1 Thanks for the reply! Do you mean Zazzle or Spread shirt? And yeah, I gotcha. I'm not a fan of Etsy, at least not for me at the moment...got rejected from Merch before, but that was a while ago before I had done any actual designs. May try again with a different email now.
Shimmy thank you for sharing your honest perspectives about POD.
What are the "best passive" POD platforms based on your experience and others like yourself who have made money with POD?
Please provide a prompt response.
Thanks again!!!
etsy and amazon... they're the best 2 platforms. i explain why in this video@@elliswashington7059
@@shimmymorris1 Is Etsy passive? Don't you have to respond directly to customer replies? Is that truly passive?
How do you get accepted from Amazon merch? I got denied.
You have to find someone who is selling accounts and buy one cuz its really hard to get accepted in 2024 only 4% of people are getting accepted and can you imagine how many people are signing up everyday, hope thats help
I'm a print-on-demand from Thailand.
my second Etsy shop got a suspension without reason So, I had to open a store in Shopify instead.
sorry to hear! good luck with the shopify store
Etsy also has a lot more scams and frauds (and designs being stolen). It comes with that over 400 mil traffic. It’s really a mix bag 😅
Etsy doesn't offer 40 free listings anymore (or at least, I didn't get any free listings on the two shops I opened last year)
They definitely do. I just checked. Did you open stores with an affiliate link…?
I got banned on etsy, any idea if I could get back on etsy again? Thank you.
Its seems like more and more shops are getting banned on Etsy for no reason. It would make me very hesitant to put in such a hugh amount of work when you know you have a high probability of losing your store at any point in time with basically no opportunity to appeal! Also AI crap is now completely flooding it.
Yes, I can't sell on Amazon because of the country I'm from. I have tried several times in the last few years but I am always rejected.
it's so frustrating that they have these limitations
What sneaker is that on your left?

I just subscribed in hopes you get that stupid silver play button!
Thank you!!!!

I tried ETSY for a while, but as I am in Australia, the time to get your POD products here was ridiculous. I got a sample tshirt from Printify and it took almost a month. People dont like to wait that long plus no comms to say how long it would take. Austalia's customs are useless and take forever to process anything. Where do the Aussies do these shops? I also found that people I know didnt want to sign up to ETSY either.
Hi Shimmy please create a video which is best/profitable alternative for redbubble for 2024. THANK!
That’s literally this video ☺️
🤣🤣
if not tshirts what products of generic products one can concentrate on with patterns could able to make a 100_200 dollars ,on etsy we can't maitain products ,general products like home and accessories there is saturation people just through a stone in the dark to see they could ge hold of some sales t something
I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking..?
My tees held up fine. I wear them every day and wash them inside/out. I think the white designs are best though. The color ones are dull.
interesting, you're the first person that's said that to me
Really? I did get one from TeeSpring that is wearing off, but RB/TeePublic are holding up fine!@@shimmymorris1
Options
1 - Etsy 4:52
2 - Amazon Merc 10:41
Redbubble and TeePublic is goin wild and being greedy
Will these alternatives work in Africa
yes i believe so. Here's some eligible countries thriveonetsy.com/etsy-eligible-countries/
I'm in South Africa and you need a USA bank account to join merch by amazon.
Etsy does not work in many African countries. Ive tried and their payment options are not available here.
You're not mentioning the fact that etsy doesn't want pod sellers because they'll buy the same graphics. They have closed so many stores permanently the risk of getting suspended and even closed is too high.
So be different… don’t sell the same graphics ☺️
What about teepublic?
nope, they have the same issues as redbubble. no traffic and tiny tiny margins
teepublic is owned by redbubble now. Personal sales, I've made about 10% on teepublic of what I've made on redbubble, but that's just my experience as a random person.
How about ebay
eBay is good, but not as good as the 2 mentioned, only because it's not typically a Print on Demand type of buyer audience
Etsy is now charging 15$ to register. If they will decide to reject you after signing up or after 1st sale..well, congrats, you just wasted few bucks.
where are you seeing this... I can't see that
Omg
i cant register on etsy...so....
me too
this is the issue a lot of people will have, which is why i've made another video coming out later in the week. Out of curiosity. why can't you register?
I live outside us, i have family on europe and us ad they REGISTER and when i open the account in my country using vpn i get the account close, im a graphic designer for 20+ years and this etsy website its horrible to REGISTER
@@shimmymorris1It's frustrating that they banned my account without any explanation. I'm a professional designer here in Morocco. It seems like they may have misunderstood or overlooked Morocco in Africa. Even on their website, Morocco is listed as an accepted country on Etsy

What about spreadshirt
Personally I would just focus on Etsy and Amazon if you want to make actual money with POD
@@shimmymorris1 I have applied on Amazon 2x but rejected 😩😭, I don't think Etsy work in my country 🇳🇬🇳🇬 , but am trying to save up money from other pod site before testing Etsy
@@shimmymorris1 I have Applied on Amazon 2x but got rejected😢 , I think Etsy is not around in my country 🇳🇬🇳🇬 but I actually trying to save up some money before trying Etsy or Shopify
first view here😀
nice one!!
I don't know who sells a tshirt for $22 any more. The popular sellers underprice and thus undercut everyone else.
I currently sell mine for between $27-$31 depending on the size.
The issue of undercutting people is such a shame and it makes no sense because in the long run everyone is just screwing themself over by pricing to the bottom
we need pls a nice way to promote shirts for free
building an audience on socials like tiktok and instagram would be the best way
@@shimmymorris1 do you have Instagram
I will Text you
Red bubble is dead bubble. It mostly impossible to earn for new pod designers. Rip pod business
pretty much
I'm just leaving my shop up, but not uploading any more. Why would I?
RB takes most of my sales revenue and uploading just risks being flagged for a review that likely as not, will result in some nonsensical and arbitrary outcome.
You do know that you set your own prices on Redbubble; and what you are saying is a falsehood. Your analysis makes no sense!
I know you set your own prices... good luck selling anything for over $26 on that site... and when you do, please enjoy the $3 they may or may not pay you.
@@shimmymorris1 I don't know what you are talking about, on average I make about $8 for every t-shirt I sell, dress I make more; I average about $25 for posters and I make over $100 for prints, stickers generate me anywhere between $3 and $15 for the large ones, tapestries generate me around $75... So to say you can't make money on RedBubble is absurd; and I'm considered a low end seller. There are others that put me to shame.
redbubble = robberbubble they took almost 50% of my royalties last month
That’s mental!
