I say what I'm about to say, not to be mean/harsh, but because I genuinely want to help 🙏 so, I'm honestly not sure why you told me you uploaded 42 designs. It doesn't matter whether you upload 42 designs, or 1000 designs. If none of them are good, none of them will sell! On the flipside, if you upload just 1 great design, then that 1 great design will sell, even if you only uploaded 1, so why focus on the fact you've created 42 designs? Focus on researching gaps in the market, don't just upload anything and everything: ua-cam.com/video/3llmNHfY3zo/v-deo.html 🙏
I only got 5 points 🙄 Sarah, I see sometimes the shirt lets you print a design on the *back* as well as on the front. Does this additional print eat out of your profits? Have you found it a good idea to print on the front *and* back of shirts/hoodies?
SCAMMERS ARE IMPERSONATING ME! Warning - scammers are making fake UA-cam channels & Instagram profiles. They steal my picture and ask you to DM them, or contact a Whatsapp/Telegram number. I will NEVER do this. Also, my UA-cam Account has a verified tick. If the person replying to you doesn't have a verified tick, IT ISN'T ME! However, people believe these fake accounts and they are texting the numbers and getting scammed, which genuinely breaks my heart 🥺 if you spot one of these fake imposters, PLEASE report them so that others don't fall victim to them. Thank you so much!!! 🙏🙏🙏
It's been great collaborating with you, Sarah! Thanks for having us on 🤩 We hope this helps all POD business owners find the right best-sellers for their stores! P.S. we did get the whole 50 points! (although we have to admit, we had a bit of a leg up in the dancing quiz this time 😄)
I also was a guest & did a collab today with the Printful channel, Best Free Fonts For Print On Demand! You can watch my other video I made with Printful here: ua-cam.com/video/3M78aXUCIGE/v-deo.html
Hi Sarah, I first watched your video 3wks ago, I went setting up an Etsy shop and designed some products to put on sell straight away based on information from your videos..As just starting I realised that there's so much to learn and so much to do. I am excited about the new journey, wanting to say thank you.
Hi Sarah, I have been watching a ton of your videos on POD items lately and they are so helpful! There's one thing that I haven't seen a video on and I was hoping you could help! Could you do a video on writing good product descriptions? I have questions like do you use SEO in product descriptions? How long should the descriptions be? What type of information do you include? Thanks in advance!
Great video Sarah! I got zero points, but I’m glad! It means that my online store will do that much better after I institute the changes you’ve suggested in this video! Thank you Sarah!
I got the clubhouse...so excited, but a little worried. I found out what I wanted to sell wasn't niche enough (I like all the fun little gadgets on TikTok) so Im changing gears. Love your content, and appreciate it a ton!
I absorbed this like a sponge. This video is gold, Sarah. GOLD. I tried selling some of my designs without success bc I was *so* in the dark about product types and colors to offer. Not any more! Thanks so much. PS Forgot my score, but got 50% right. 👍🏼
Hi Sarah. Wow ! - What an inspiration you are, and so happy and positive ! I've just subscribed, and I'm so amazed by your energy and happy enthusiasm. You made my day today, and I'll be watching your videos and learning a lot from you from now on ! 🌷
First off THANK YOU for the dancing content again! Loved these videos back in the day! I think its awesome!!! 🥰😍 And 2nd thank you for the screen time! Love your content always sarah! Your the absolute best
I personally don't like the Gildan hoodie. I've ordered many for myself and others an within a week or two, the threads break. The kangaroo pouch falls apart. Loose threads appear in the hood, and sleeves. I'd rather spend the extra few dollars for a higher quality product that will last me longer. I love your videos, Sara! You are amazing! Keep on dancin'!
Hey Sarah! In setting up my own store using your techniques and your clubhouse as a guide, I’m confused about how to make a profit with stickers. On Printful, they ship separately from other items, costing $3.50 USD to ship plus about $2 to print. Does that mean I have to sell 1 sticker for $6 just to make 50 cents in profit?
Yes, that’s exactly what it means. You have to increase the perceived value of the item to get customers excited so they’ll willfully pay. You do that by building community around what’s printed on the piece so there’s an emotion attached, and opting for the larger stickers because they are perceived as more expensive anyways, which they are. People buy overpriced junk at Disney World all the time because they care about the brand. Don’t be surprised.
No, you don't have to sell a sticker for $6 :) you can still sell them for $3-4. As your store sells more items, you'll be eligible for product discounts, and so that is why some stores can sell them for $3, and others $4. If you're listing products that are very low-cost, then adding in a paid shipping option, rather than just offering a flat-rate free shipping is a good idea. You can still offer free shipping for more expensive products if you like, but you can set up a paid shipping option for $4-5 to cover the purchase of any 1-off stickers, should a customer choose to buy them. So a customer buys the sticker, and pays for shipping. In my experience, customers normally like to buy stickers in multiples. Each additional sticker costs 5 cents to ship, so once you hit 3+ stickers per order, the profits start adding up quick 🌞
Hi Sarah-love your channel. I learned a lot from you-Thank you! I have one question since I am starting my POD Business: I know you are not located in US but only sell in US-how do you deal with taxes-do you have to pay taxes in US or only submit taxes in New Zealand? Hope you or anyone with experience can help out. Thanks
I earned 500341.75 points. Bella+Canvas is NOT made in USA. American company - yes, but made in Nicaragua or something like that. The only shirts made in USA are Royal. Three times as expensive as B+C.
Can you please make a video on how you do your calculation to make sure you get profit in every sale. Please include on how you market your products (advertising)
Hi, Sarah! I plan to open a store. I have hesitations about two platforms - Amazon or Etzi. Please, what is your advice? The products will be printed on-demand, stickers, and home decor products.
It is very confusing watching one video saying "sell t-shirts" and others "sell other products instead of t-shirts"... I wonder if the statistics said "t-shirts are the best sellers" because pod sellers are not trying to sell other products very much.
Your dancing is quite scary 😆 Also i would like to ask, how do RETURNS work ? If they don't fit the customer ? Are returns allowed if they're printed on demand ?
Hi, I really enjoy your content. I thought about print on demand but decided on blogging instead. Private label rights information products are a great way to earn income, build your brand, and drive traffic to your website.
Another great video :) I've been wondering: do you need to make a white underlayer for designs that are going on black clothing/canvases? Or does the printing company do it for you?
As long as you provide them with a print file that looks good on black, they'll take care of the printing prep for you. The printing process they follow for black clothing is different for this reason 🌞
That is the only all over hoodie. So it is probably most popular because that is the only hoodie you can do all over print on. It would be nice if they offered several of them because they don't look that cozy. I think it's only popular for the aop feature. They need to have more options for the aop products
It would be great if their products allowed a profit margin. Their Tshirts are approx $25 to buy before you add a profit margin. Their hoodies are even worse at a starting price of $45. 0.5% profit margin if I use Printful. You were a fan of Printify, can I ask if there was a falling out with them?
I don’t expect that this comment will even be read but I am desperate to start a business and hope we could see a bit more really useful helpful instructional content and a little of the gimmicky shots of people flashing a fan of big bills. I’m trying so hard to learn how the process of print on demand works. I don’t know if you list items on Shopify or if you have to have your very own store on Shopify. The store part is where I get so lost.
The world is full of different seasons at the same time. So a winter in NYC, is not the same as a winter in NYC. Or some countries, are in the summer time. So I don't think there's a season for some types of clothes.
Hi Sarah I have a few questions which I can't seem to get answers for, regarding Etsy Privacy. When the buyers make a purchase do they see the address I set up as a 'delivery address' or the address linked to my bank card/Billing address? Also do they see the name on my card/billing address or the store name? Thank you ever so much. You are the reason I started my own print-on-demand stores.
I am curious to know whether you have looked at Gelato or not? I'm in Australia and trying to work out which is better for me to use ie. Printful or Gelato and whether to market to Aus/NZ or US or both? From a profit point of view Gelato appears way better as their prices are much lower. So confusing!
I have never used Gelato, but Printful is the golden standard in the POD industry, and I would rather spend more money on a trusted service, than use a newer, riskier option, so that I build a good reputation with customers 🌞 usually, if something is cheaper, it is cheaper for a reason: either less features, or less quality. If Gelato have a lot of features, then the truth is, it's probably quality that is cut.
am i the only debbie downer that wonders - oh gee - now that this super popular youtuber is telling everyone what to do - isn't it going to become an oversaturated playing field? I get anxious every time I see these videos and want to give up before I even start - because it's like how can you succeed in a lane where everyone else is driving ??? Is it me?
Yes! They're all up on our Production Footage page. There are also videos and images of the production process you can download and use in your stores! 🙂
Thanks for sharing this Great video. I’ve got a question. How do you promote/advertise your items/products to target a particular country. I live in Australia 🇦🇺, winter is in 2months time. I would like to advertise my hoodies. Thanks
Hiya Sahara, thanks so much for your info. Question, for someone who is starting out, do you recommend red bubble or going with shopify? Is shopify better if you have a community such as you do?
Kia Ora Sarah. Your philosophy on the preciousness of time is incredibly wise. Have you had any experience with virtual assistants as a method of better leveraging your time? And if so can you offer advice in thet regard?
I work with VAs all the time! If you have any specific tasks, you can find great VAs on Fiverr. If you'd like to hire a general VA, I have hired mine through Upwork & OnlineJobs.ph
Hi Sarah I’ve been wanting to ask if someone can start a print on demand in another country without seeing or testing the products. What’s your advice on this

I created a gif of Sara dancing. It has reached number 3 last week on my Etsy shop. Thanks, Sara!

No, you don't have to sell a sticker for $6 :) you can still sell them for $3-4. As your store sells more items, you'll be eligible for product discounts, and so that is why some stores can sell them for $3, and others $4.

Hi, Sarah!
I plan to open a store.

Hi, I really enjoy your content. I thought about print on demand but decided on blogging instead. Private label rights information products are a great way to earn income, build your brand, and drive traffic to your website.
Printful is good but it’s a pity that the products and some of the shipping costs are so expensive.
Hi Sarah, thank you so much for all your helpful information. I want to start my POD store, but I think I'm letting my fear take over. Any advice?
Love POD!! Great side hussle!!
I have a retro store and, funny enough, my most popular color is the really loud, 1970's yellow. LOL.

Thank you so much for this video, it was really helpful!!
Looks like it might be shirts, mugs and stickers for me. After all, most people wear more than one shirt.
Sarah has so much charm and lovely accent though 🙂

I want some more acting videos. Elon Musk was o.k. but how about Warren Buffet or Elizabeth Warren.
Thank you very much
