@@austinkluth6806 You might want to take a look at Cassiy Johnson's channel. She has a step-by-step tutorial for creating a Printify Account, Etsy store, and linking them together. I used her video to setup my store, and I"ll be honest, I don't think I could have done it on my own. So many things to consider!
Just downloaded the figma and the T-shirt frame and wanted to literally downloaded to the figma but it says "Files failed to import… File format not recognized or failed to convert" Using window.
Just wanted to say that I've been trying to get into POD for years but I've felt so overwhelmed in the process. Watching your 100k in 8 months selling mugs video literally broke everything down for me in a way that finally made perfect sense. That day I started my Etsy store! I already have 8 listings up and more every day. Thank you for making this series and doing what you do!
I love your content Alek! Finally someone who actually makes videos and provides all the Info on how to ACTUALLY DO IT. I am so thankful for your transparency!! ❤
I’ve watched several UA-camrs explain how to create shirt designs “simply” and this is by far the simplest method that is explained perfectly with actionable bonus tips. Well done, new sub.
Please note that when you download a font make sure you read the license info. There will be a text document within the font download. Some will say commercial use, but with limitations. I only use ones that say freeware or public domain. I use fontspace.
literally going through the process step by step (doing my own subject matter and designs of course). The internet can be such a powerful tool thanks to people like you. Much appreciation
Alek I must say that it's great to watch your videos. They are well edited, do not bore and give specific quick examples. Definitely please keep the production value so high.
What I love about this channel is that you deep dive. That is the fucking difference. All the gurus stay on the surface. This walk-thru content is the shit I’ve been looking for. Amazing channel bro LFG! 💪
I like that Alek does this to help others, as of now I haven’t seen him have that car salesman approach, he’s not trying to sell us an expensive software
Hi Alek I found your videos so useful thanks for share your knowledge. For the POD business on etsy do you suggest to have one store or multiple stores? One for mugs, one for t shirt or just one that incorporates many niches? Same question for the digital with mid journey one store per niche or one with many niches? Thank you
Just got around to watching this and just started lifting products, I'll keep everyone updated with how it goes :) thank you for all your help it's amazing
Hey Alek, often when I am checking the quantity of results for a niche, I often see "1,000+ results, with Ads" but it won't give me the specific number of results like you feature in your videos. Are there additional settings I need to adjust for when searching? Sort by Relevance, Most Recent, or Top Customer Reviews for example? Nothing I change seems to give me more accurate result numbers.
Omg, 🐐 status!!! Thank you, for this information and awesome play. I feel like you are like the coolest dude, sitting next to me at work, helping me get out of my 9-5. 🙌🏽
Never designed t-shirts before. Every employer out there is also asking for knowledge with Figma + I´ll be able to exercise some creativity & research skills. Thanks Alek.
@@philho.youtube For whatever reason, in the video he does the graphic below the text so the text sits on top. I dont know if they changed it, but i got it to work with the picture sitting over the text. So the Text sits beneath it. It worked that way.
Thanks Alex, this video is super. Do you have any other tips on time management? I struggle due to working full time. I get an hour here and there and not making progress. I have 30 designs ready, but need to do mock ups, descriptions &, tags but can't seem to get going. I get side tracked so easily and get nothing accomplished 😭😅. Please tell me that getting started and set up is the toughest part 🤞😁🤪
Everything seems tough for me, I'm trying to get started myself, but I can't figure out even make one simple design. I am not tech savey at all but desperately want to make a business to get out of this 9-5 rut....
Honestly bro, I'm very very VERY new to this POD thing and every time I go from binging other UA-camr's videos to your videos I'm in shock at how much meaningful detail you go into while simultaneously being nowhere near as long as any other Etsy enthusiast.
Your newest sub. here. You 're great Alek. The real deal...you are. I salute you. I haven't even finished watching you fabulous video when I subscribed, Cheers mate!
Dude, you're the GOAT with this. Everything down to the T. Incredibly helpful and thank you for helping everyone, including me, that wants to learn to be successful in this space.
Obsessed with your channel, it’s definitely the most informative and has helped me tremendously!! Just did my first month and made 10 sales!! Thank you!!
Bro I've watched like 1000+ vids about this topics.. But your the only that made me stand up and run to my computer and do the everything without even looking back or running into obstacles and getting demotivated coz idk everything. I really appreciate the fantastic work and teaching. I'm pretty sure everyone is who has watched this.. Much love brother, we need more of your kind..
5:00 I see what you mean. I also think this is how separated we all in the world are from each other... 10:43 - WOW, AMAZING!! THANK YOU FOR SHOWING IT UP!! ❤️❤️
Love your channel, Alek! thanks so much for all the inspiration and tips! Love to see the automation tool for Printify you spoke of...trying Vela too in Etsy, but love to see what you have up your sleeve :). Kristie
Great video. I've been thinking for a while about the method I use to create so many designs. Actually it's the same approach I started out as a guitarist. I took the best techniques and licks from my favorite guitarists and reassembled them into new material in my own way.
Great video. Your words of wisdom have inspired me to reignite my merch-selling flame! 🔥 Thanks Alek! If you're a Windows user.... Shift + Windows key + S = Screenshot
Hi Alek, Great video - thank you! How would you suggest we investigate the quality of the actual T-shirts? It's the fit & feel of the final product that will drive the best reviews. Appreciate any thoughts
Hey Alek, thanks for all your content man. I’m starting out on POD just this month. Good luck on your channel. For your printify script, are you using a bot that goes through the different interactions on printify for you? Also have an ETA on when you’d release it. I’m a software engineer so I’m considering making my own but I’d hold off if you plan to release soon. Thanks again!
I've been learning a lot from your videos lately. Just wanted to say thank you! I'm in the process of opening an Etsy store and learning everything as I go. Your focus on quantity over quality in particular has helped me to be less perfectionist about things.
Hi Alek. Rock solid content. All the praise and props you're getting are well deserved. Question... Any update on the Photoshop auto-generating mockup script and Printify uploader program you mention at the end of the video? Thanks.
I kinda wish the Figma usage was more detailed. I don't use Figma. I use Adobe. Or maybe you can make a tutorial with Adobe? Thanks a lot! Very helpful.
hi Lori, In Windows pc's I think the issue is with Figma not letting the formatting being imported in the Copy paste process..i am not a PC guru so .. what it does seem to do is that if you added the font you like from google fonts and downloaded and installed them .. the newly acquired fonts should be available in the Figma font library.. they did for me..
I owe you an apology. My first attempt with Figma was a disaster, but I viewed your video a few more times and have now mastered the technique, which is amazing. Thank you.
Wow! Great info! I'm super interested in the mockup generator -- I use photoshop, and creating the mockups is where I spend the most amount of time. Figma looks like a great tool -- I love the search/replace -- so simple! I'm definitely checking this out. Also, thanks for the tips on how to use bestsellers for inspirations!
Hi Alex I really want to do this however figma is complicated do you have a step by step tutorial working with your Templar, and fonts? This video isn’t helpful for me to follow you.
Hi alek! Absolutely love your vids! They are so info packed! I have one question - how does the process flow between Etsy and Printify work for custom designs? I assume to create the design we put in “custom text” in the printify design to publish it to Etsy. When they make the order in Etsy, how do we then change the graphic to whatever they specified?
I would suggest you do an A/B comparison between Printify and other printers. I chose Printful instead because they were faster with better quality, well worth the few dollars difference.
Hey Alek loving your updates been following your channel for a while now. I do have a question after watching this video, what is the workflow between figma>printify>etsy? Do you export all the designs as PNGs on figma, and then upload the images on printify that then publishes to etsy?
Just took about 4 pages of handwritten notes, thanks! Im a writer so it helps me 🙂 and your content is so straightforward that I barely have to even think to write all the key points! You're a great teacher, appreciate it!
Literally the best design video out there. All around great video perfect explanation was on point and I wasnt bored. Great job man. New sub for sure🤙🏼
I wish I had the balls to slap text on a shirt, pretend I did market research and whatnot, call it design (!), call others scammers and be proud of what I do. 😂 My life would change. No skill is true though.
this process is SO MUCH faster than my current photoshop only process. I think I been going at it from "art and design only" and neglected the "speed and process" aspect. I'll use photshop to mix in sick images, and use Figma to help process and mix the images with the fonts to create awesome design combos. Thanks bro you got a sub and like from me +
Thank you for sharing. I am a senior and it takes me a short while to learn on computers. Would you do a video on how you do you graphics? I like how you did you shirt for designs. But I need to see it a few times to get it. Thank you again. I so glad I found your videos.
Hey Alek, your videos are great! You explain things that make it easy for various ages to navigate through the process. I am in my mid 50's and just starting out with little knowledge, and I am able to understand your steps and directions. You actually make it more enjoyable because we can spend more time on the creative process and less time on the technology!
Wow great video! Somehow you showed up on my feed and I watched the whole video such great content! Tempted to give this thing a good go! Have subscribed!

I can't get the font to work inside of Figma :( I've downloaded it, I don't understand how to get it to move over.
Thank you!

Thank you. I was about to do some Google research.
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!

You are much more “transparent” about how to be successful in a POD business than other UA-camrs. Thanks 🙏

This is not transparent at all lol. He didn't show where to get all the fonts he used in the video and didn't show how to add them to figma

Alek, Thanks for the transparency. You don't get this kind of real videos anywhere nowadays ✨
Am I the only person who immediately thought that shirt should say Master Baker instead? Yes, you're welcome.
Hahahaha same
Don't even need to see the shirt to know it's original wording based on this comment 😂😂
Lmfaoo
that t shirt says "designs that sell" 🙄🙄🙄🙄

That tip for choosing the white colour - fefefb - instead of pure white is genius! Thank you!
I can't thank you enough for your step by step videos! You make this process so easy and I am definitely going to be trying this for sure!
Did it worked?

I thought this was a good idea, but like the more i research how to do this stuff, the more i realize i need to put my soul aside..
Only way to make money my brotha, there’s no easy way no matter what people say
Not the easiest , not the hardest either haha

If you're having problems with the text scaling. Make sure to change your mouse tool to scale. You can also do this by hitting K.

FYI for anyone wondering. The distressed overlay needs to be a PNG file. You can't download a JPG and expect the overlay to work
It doesnt work for me for some reason
Thanks for helping clarify this
Still doesn't work.
