I‘d absolutely LOVE to sell puzzles, and it’s definitely not weird 😂 BUT, there’s a big BUT, the quality of the printify puzzles seems to be rather poor, I checked that out and saw devastating customer reviews, so… any idea for a better pod service for puzzles? I can’t seem to find any cool one, especially not for the EU market. In fact, printify doesn’t even offer puzzles for the EU market, only US ☹️ I‘m soooo,eager to start this, I have a ton of design ideas, but there you go, we need a better pod provider for that
Hey Kittl, many thanks for your initiative and insights as always. Once again I'm running with your ideas for my shop. I didn't even know printify had these products. Your videos ALWAYS deliver. Thanks again.
You need to tumble down the Printifys rabbit hole! They have a lot of unique products, yesterday I found a compact mirror with design space on the front. I think it would make a great personalized product!
Thank you, that’s very helpful! I guess I’d remove the background & replace it with & creative one. How a few different templates to choose from in the listing to complement their baby!
Sure thing! It's just a video of him talking about them though, here you go: ua-cam.com/video/_fh5OqJx38M/v-deo.htmlsi=4G3PibTrhXHPP6en You can also check out his Kittl Profile with Templates here: www.kittl.com/@julianmdchavez
The puzzles seemed like a non profitable product as you yourself noted they were doing custom photo one for like $16.00 so like no or very low profit on that example.
They can be very profitable depending on how many you are able to sell, and sizing. Accepting custom photo options for puzzles would allow you to charge even more for a custom puzzle. In mainstream stores, puzzles are generally much higher than $16, so that is certainly too low of a price.
Wow I just started making a few things and i have all of these products you have listed....WOw i was thinking they might be too weird lol. Just starting to advertise though, so we shall see!
Thanks for watching! Right now we are working on a way to make seamless patterns more easy to accomplish in Kittl, so we will update everyone when that's ready!
Terrific video, Really helpful. You mentioned "Julian" and Discord on the hard cover journals product. I've tried to find him online with no luck. Do you have a link for him that you can share? Thanks for all you do. Kelly
Hey there! The video was more about why it's a good idea, but here is a link to Julians Kittl page where you can see some templates he has created for the hardcover books:. Here is an example :www.kittl.com/design/Vintage-Book-Cover-Template-for-POD-Label-hpyR0Ybf
The reason for the big markdown is simply sales tactic. Let's say you're selling the $8 case by pricing it at $15 you'll be making decent money. But lets say sales are so so, making it $40 but marking it down to $15 causes people to believe they're getting a good deal. Generally this tactic brings more sales.
2 things... Curious to know WHICH phone cases you'd focus on. I sell on Zazzle, and there are mind-boggling number of phone cases. Secondly, could you tell us where the link is to the chap who makes hard cover journal, please? Thanks.
This is a rather difficult question about the phone cases, as I'm not sure if it's specific to the actual phone brand, but moreso about the desired art that would make someone want to purchase. And here is the video of Julian talking about the journals from our interview! ua-cam.com/video/_fh5OqJx38M/v-deo.htmlsi=mx-MXSVxel3MgSva
Hey there! Here is the video talking through the cookbook journals, it's not a tutorial, but we can work on one. :) ua-cam.com/video/_fh5OqJx38M/v-deo.htmlsi=SnAFOHJ0MoTnQiIp
It is not showing the competition as red because of the number of competitors. It is showing in red because of the ratio of competition to search volume. These products are in fact saturated. One problem with capitalism is that speculative markets becomes saturated with products that are not all able to be sold. This leads to the problem of overproduction and the tendency of profits to fall. The only workaround we have for this as people trying to survive under capitalism is to build our own followings outside of these platforms. We then send our loyal followers to the platform or to our own website where they purchase our products. Better to have your own website rather than sending them to a platform full of competing products
In terms of competitors, this is why we mentioned the large ratio difference in something like shirts or hoodies versus these more distinct and unique print on demand products. The conversation of saturation and how to set your self apart is different to the conversation of which products allow higher profits in regards to print on demand, which is all we meant to provide in this video. :) It is up to the user to determine whether or not they fit within their shop branding and offerings. Building a following is certainly a great idea and opportunity, as having your own online shop allows you to not compete with thousands of other sellers. Thanks for the comment!
@@cxa011500 Thank god they’re are not all printed sitting in a warehouse. Although the same thinking applies. People lower prices hoping to get sales. They do put in labor or money creating designs, mockups, listings, ads, social media, etc. But yes they are saturated. Options is all it takes to be saturated. Too many options, prices driven down, etc. The production process is irrelevant to that.
Sorry, but it seems to me somebody have missed the memo about how to sell online anything...HIGH DEMAND/ LOW COMPETITION. The kittl guy just took broad niches as examples that is why the niches are not so attractive. He is not supposed to do the work for you and gives you all the lucrative niches. You can pretend that everything is over saturated and move on or give it a try. It's up to you. But just don't justify your choice with pseudo economical/ market theory. PS. If I want to dig deeper, I would say we are not even in a capitalistic economy because when there is money to be made all the big private actors are making tons of money, but when things are getting bad for them, they cry and seek help from the regulator ( the State) which then mutualize all the losses between all the population and we end up paying for the losses of those private economic actors. That is not capitalism!!
Hello. How is it possible to erase text on image with kittl. I have generated an image with kittl but it came with texte on it. Il would liké to erase the text. Can someone helps me? Thanks

...question: If my POD store/product starts getting popular, how can I cover the cost of the POD production (which is to be paid up front) if I don't have a large savings or CC? ...I wouldn't want to have the momentum of sales being halted and bad reviews left for not being able to provide what I advertised... storefronts like Etsy hold customer payments until production is started, and production is held until the POD company is paid... see my conundrum? 🤔 ...
This is certainly a frustrating part of POD, at least in the beginning, and specifically related to Etsy. While we don't have a sure-fire solution to this, since it is as you've said, we know that a lot of creators use a Credit Card to put on their drop-shipping platform, so that once the order is started, it pulls from the credit card, and once the funds are released (and the full deposit is made from Etsy, or Amazon, ETC), the creators will then go and pay off that amount on the credit card. This is of course, not financial or legal advice in any way, it's just what we've seen other POD sellers do. However, it's important to consider the similarities to how it would be when holding on to a bunch of stock. You would still have to pay in advance to order all of your products to keep at your house or office, which you will then have to wait for orders to come in. In that regard, that's where the allure of print on demand is perhaps more attractive. Hope this helps.
Hey there, you can actually offer personalized products by utilizing Printify. You can create a stock listing so that people can purchase and type in what they want personalized, then when an order comes in, you can simply edit the original order to include your updated design.
AI art doesn’t steal from human art. I love midjourney. When ai search my ai art, I never find anything on the web that looks like mine at all. I use both midjourney and Bing image creator. Do you even use AI or are you going based on what you’ve heard?
Do you think there are other underrated products? Let us know.

Our pleasure!
Outstanding video, thank you!
Most welcome!
in the 1980s my parents had a custom jigsaw puzzle made from a photo of baby me! Back then there wasn't printify of course but someone was doing it.
That's incredible, and very interesting!
@@Kittldesign Hot tip, don't use a photo of a baby standing in front of a brown couch in a tan room. More than half the puzzle is fuzzy brown pieces!
Thank you, that’s very helpful!
I guess I’d remove the background & replace it with & creative one.
How a few different templates to choose from in the listing to complement their baby!
@@ImogenShade That's a very cool idea!
I've got some beautiful Midjourney pics that would be super on a jigsaw puzzle. Great video! Also, Kittl just keeps getting better and better. 🏆
Sounds very cool!

i think there are really cool ideas, but saddly there are really expensive to ship to eu. like we have no pod puzzle seller
Hopefully some of the dropshipping platforms will offer more location fulfillment in the future. I know there are plans for a few to do so.

Printify does!
I was actually just thinking about puzzles the other day.

But lets say sales are so so, making it $40 but marking it down to $15 causes people to believe they're getting a good deal. Generally this tactic brings more sales.
I would like to point out that this tactic is now illegal on etsy and will get your shop shut down.
Thanks for watching.
Don't forget about the Etsy fees or Shopify fees as well as well as the cost of running ads.
Sure, always take these into account. It will look different depending on where you are trying to sell (marketplace vs. personal website).
I write ebooks on Etsy, I guess they could be printed on demand through Amazon.
Sure! Through Amazon KDP, that is possible.

Keep in my mind, these are print-on-demand products. The products aren't saturated. These are just options for consumers.

Best way to upsize ai designs for larger items?
Hey there, for now, you will need to use another tool or program to upscale your AI images to a larger size if you need it.
