Thanks for sharing! Something that may work for you with the light letters/design on a darker material is to double up the design in the edit process. Just make sure all the numbers are the same so it’s aligned perrrrfeccttllyyy. The print provider will then print a base design and another one right on top of it. Makes it way more vibrant! Hope this helps. 😃 I didn’t read anyone else’s comments below so I apologize if someone’s already mentioned it. ❤
I have watched many videos on this subject this week and yours is the first that explained everything in detail,specific details and it is very much appresciated. This helped me out a lot! Continued success for you!!!
Love all your videos and instructions! Having fun designing and following what you're teaching as it's simple to follow for beginners like me. Continued success to you and you family!
Heather, thank you for making these videos. I've been stuck on how to grow my Etsy store and your information has been invaluable and your story truly inspiring!
Hi Heather, thanks for this helpful video. I reached out to Printify regarding the issue of using white text on black sweatshirt and I thought I'd pass along the info they gave me... "When pure white color is used, the under base is not applied, especially on Gildan 18000 sweatshirt because the fabric is 50/50 poly/cotton. What we can recommend, is that you change the color from pure white, and add a slight color like a hint of gray or a hint of yellow this would give another coat of color. These are the hexes that are highly recommended: #FCFCFC; #FEFEFB and #F5F5F5". --> I have not yet tried this out for myself, but thought I'd pass it along. :-)
I did actuality try these colors and I think they work fine... the problem is that I've never used pure white so I can't compete compare the difference?
Thank you Heather I opened my store a couple of days ago. Thank you ladies for the info about using white, I'm glad I read this because I used white on some of my designs.
Can you talk about t shirt item weight. and item size when packed the whole shipping thing I'm just really having a hard time understanding it and what to put
I ordered samples of white and natural of the bc3001 and they are soft but pretty see through, do your customers mind? I feel like the mock-ups don’t accurately show how thin they are.
Do you have a rule of thumb for the profit margin? Especially on printful... when we decide the pricing I am not sure if I am too inexpensive or too cheap . In the long run, profits would keep the biz going but I don't want to scare people away.
Hi Heather - wondering what kind of file you save your t-shirt canva design as once you're finished and ready to upload it to printify? Thank you in advance!
Hi Heather, thanks for the step-by-step tutorial for us POD beginners. My question is, you mentioned to not do white design on black sweatshirts, is the same suggestion true for Bella and Canva 3001 black t shirts? Thanks so much!
Do you recommend using the folded T-shirt as the listing thumbnail or the full view of the tee as the thumbnail? Also do you recommend using a person wearing the tee in the thumbnail?
Hello Heather, I absolutely love your videos straight to the point and filled with great information. I do have a question though When ordering samples I have heard that designs print differently or look differently on 2x 3x shirts I'm actually a big guy and I wear a 5X is it okay to order samples on a 5X? I'm just trying to think of a way to not waste the t-shirt this way I can wear it and show off my designs. I'm assuming the only reason we do a sample is to make sure the coloring is proper. Where would you recommend sticking with getting samples on a smaller size shirt and then I can just give them away?
Great video! Canva has since limited many of its free options. For example, when downloading the transparent option is grayed out. Do you have any suggestions without having to purchase the premium version? Thank you.
I live in Europe but most of my customers - 90% are from US so just to clarify - l have to select US provider company right? Well otherwise the shiping will take up to 2-3 weeks and customers won't like wait that long.
Question: AT 13:12 in the video you see the shirts that you will sell that are plain jane mockups. I want to use another mockup instead of these so how do I get those colors onto my mockups I got from placeit. Do I just bring them into Printify?
isnt dark heather grey the one that doesnt have much cotton on it and is more of a work out shirt type material? and do you always stick to just a few different colour options for your shirts?
Hey Heather! Great video! I was curious I noticed you marked your item up $5.65. But your cost was based on the item before shipping ($4.80). So total to ship the item would be $12.44. This only leaves you a profit of .85 after paying Printify, right? Or is shipping included in the "cost" of the item? Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it.
Hey Heather, thank you for your video! However, I have a question, I am from Philippines but my market are in the US, can I still use print providers from the US since my customers are in the US? I hope you can answer this. Thank you!
I have previously downloaded 5000 by 5000 pixel Canva designs and when you upload the designs to Printify the file size is too large for Printify. So at 6:00 mark I was just warning to download the file at 2500 by 2500 instead as I lead everyone wrong haha! :)
Hi Heather, I'm loving your videos. I am going through the steps and I'm now on Prinftify but I have come to a problem. I am in Australia. Do you know if there is a company that prints in Australia? I can't seem to find one. Thanks Racquel
Help! How do I make the background of the main template on my Android Canva app? There is no make background transparent option before downloading while using the app.
Thank you so so much for this! I’ve been wracking my brains all week on how I can make this work lol 😂 I still don’t know how I’ll make $ and how to price my items since I’m in Canada so far looks like I would be spending $23 and some change for a Bella canvas so I would need to charge so much to make a profit gah 😩 if you can offer me anymore insight I’d be SO so appreciative Thanks so much!! Xo 😘 Eve
Hi EandCo, I would suggest selling sweatshirts only if prices are that high. I'm not sure if there's a difference but I use Duplium in Canada and they ship to US and charge about 10$ on sweatshirt shipping which US to US shipping is 10$ so the prices are relatively the same. The best suggestion is to sell the sweatshirts for 40$ and do free shipping since you'll get a profit margin of 20$ which is insanely good starting out! Try the Gildan 18000 crewneck, those are my best sellers and super in trend right now!
If I get a domain through Shopify, and the email that comes with it...is that email ONLY for mass-mailing promos to groups of clients? Or can I use that email address separately to sign up for other accts on other sites and to email individuals, ie use it as a regular business email account????
It's up to you how you'd like to use the seperate email. I opened up a business gmail that I sign up for my accounts with and then my dot com email(ex: hello@heatherxstudio.com) I use for emailing clients/email list etc. Just in case the dot com email is ever compromised by an employee, I have my own email as a buffer for issues.
@@itsheatherstudio Thank you so much for the speedy reply! You've made a great point. I stopped before setting up an etsy overthinking whether or not it needed to have the same email as my shopify will; but of course I won't have the domain through shopify until I sign up for them in the near future but wanted to sign up for etsy tonight. Overthinking! Analysis Paralysis! Thanks again!! Loving your videos!
Hi Heather... Do you not manually create your own shipping in Etsy, do you let Etsy create its own, and I'm from the UK, should I use a print provider from UK on printify or is it ok to use a provider from the states? Im just starting out so I have no idea yet of customers and where they will be buying from.. Tks..
Whenever I made a design and saved it to my computer it shows part of the design blacked out and part of it in color. Its only when i opne it on my computer . It does not look like that in canva . Does that matter ? I havent tried putting it on a mockup yet.
Can you all give me your honest opinion as to whether selling digital t-shirt mockups will sell on Etsy, Creative Market, etc as opposed to selling t-shirts with designs on them. I am torn between the two. Although I will make more money for one t shirt than I will for one digital t-shirt mockup download, I would love to do the mockups. I can hardly find any videos on selling digital t-shirt mockups, but plenty on selling digital printables, which is not what I would be doing. There are a lot of people selling t-shirts with sayings on them, and I know for a fact that most of them are using digital mockups, but I don't know how to find customers.
hello i am from poland i would like to open a shop on etsy. I have a question is it true that I have to write e-mails to buyers about when the delivery will take place? Do I have to bill the buyers for my goods?
Hi there, with POD you do not have to do that. If you're using a US POD company to US customers then the POD company will send the tracking information to your customer for you. It's a beautiful system!
@@itsheatherstudio thank you so much for the answer. I will try my best with the shop and i'll let you know how it goes of course based on youre movies
You are growing by leaps and bounds with your channel subscriptions! High Five to you!! Thank you for your videos 😊

Love all the tips and tricks on this video! So excited to start my Esty shop to sell to sell my personal designed t-shirts!
I found you on tiktok and so happy I did! My question is how do I do personalized like monogram, names, etc. with the print on demand ?

Has anyone tried these recommended colors?!

Thanks for sharing this. Super helpful!
Thank you Heather I opened my store a couple of days ago. Thank you ladies for the info about using white, I'm glad I read this because I used white on some of my designs.
I saw a video about this and she recommended “doubling up” on the design. So basically just add the same text or design on top of it
Thank you for loving your video!! I learned a lot! I learned the same thing people like big lettering
Hi Heather... where did you get the color groups on Canva? I'm new to Canva ... Love ALL your videos. I've learned so much from you.
You said the colors won't look the same on the shirts so it's important to order samples. Do you order samples of every design you create?
That's my question too
Thank you so much Heather very helpful
Hi Heather part 1 video. It said that it is private. Can’t see anything
@14:24 I think Heather meant to say $13 (instead of $5) x 5% is about $0.65. $13 being the retail price (the price we sell on Etsy). Easy mistake.
Darn! Tried to watch part on and it says it's unavailable. I guess you would have things in older videos that no longer apply though! TY
Super helpful! Thanks!
Hi Heather! i was unable to click on the link for part 1 of the video. Is it removed?
Awesome video. Thank you for providing so much detail. I am truly grateful. Not sure I would have figured all of that out on my own. Blessings to you!
Amazingggg thank you so much for sharing the valuable information!
Great info! For some reason my resolution has to be 5000x5000 when i download in order to be high resolution in printify for all my designs
A lot of people want to see your ETSY store, including me 😀. You apparently have good stuff with all those sales. I love PODs myself.
What is your Etsy store for digital downloads?
Hi there, I can’t seem to get the link for the first video to work
I find your content very helpful. Thank you.
Would love a video on how you would design a hooded blanket
Thank you for doing this xx
Thanks so much for walking us through this. How many sample orders would you recommend placing when starting?
I agree keep it simple
Where is the 3rd, next, video? I need to do this on Saturday so I can go public on etsy! It's been a very long haul!
Can you talk about t shirt item weight. and item size when packed
the whole shipping thing I'm just really having a hard time understanding it and what to put
Thanks for sharing 🙂!
This is super helpful ! Do you know if we can use all fonts in canva pro ?
This video is amazing are there any other rules I need to know about before starting an Etsy / POD ? I’m seriously thinking about trying this x
I ordered samples of white and natural of the bc3001 and they are soft but pretty see through, do your customers mind? I feel like the mock-ups don’t accurately show how thin they are.
Do you have a rule of thumb for the profit margin? Especially on printful... when we decide the pricing I am not sure if I am too inexpensive or too cheap . In the long run, profits would keep the biz going but I don't want to scare people away.
Amazing video, trank you! ❤️
Hi There, you didn't mention why you prefer Swift POD to Monster Digital, is it the quality, or what else? Thanks!
Hi Heather - wondering what kind of file you save your t-shirt canva design as once you're finished and ready to upload it to printify? Thank you in advance!
Hi Heather, thanks for the step-by-step tutorial for us POD beginners. My question is, you mentioned to not do white design on black sweatshirts, is the same suggestion true for Bella and Canva 3001 black t shirts? Thanks so much!

Impressive!
Doesn’t the DPI on this mess you up? Meaning too low of a DPI. Love your videos and glad I came across them.
How would you recommend swift pod vs monster digital?
So can I ask. So when people order the shirt. You don’t have to do anything. The shirt place gets the order makes and ships?
Great info, I started a store 2 months ago, using Printful, no sales yet….my problem is keywords, do you have a vdo on this? Thank you!
Hello I want to start my own sales as well. Do you mind guiding me on the steps please
Part 1 of the video is set to private though…. 🤔
Hi Heather I can’t find your Etsy digital store link. I would love to buy some of your designs. Thanks you soooo much for your helpful video.

Where does it show you print providers? Does it only show that in the paid for version? It does not give me options on free.
12:32 you talk about making the design more vibrant. I don't understand why to use the "make a specific design" button. Could you please explain?
I live in Europe but most of my customers - 90% are from US so just to clarify - l have to select US provider company right? Well otherwise the shiping will take up to 2-3 weeks and customers won't like wait that long.

I have the same question! The shipping calculations have been confusing for me.
Also Etsy takes 6.5% from the sales and $0.20 listing fee.
Hey Heather, thank you for your video! However, I have a question, I am from Philippines but my market are in the US, can I still use print providers from the US since my customers are in the US?
I hope you can answer this. Thank you!
which print provider should i choose if i'm from india , because i see no print providers from india?
Can you clarify what you meant to say at the 6:00 mark right before you say your welcome. I'm very confused.
I have previously downloaded 5000 by 5000 pixel Canva designs and when you upload the designs to Printify the file size is too large for Printify. So at 6:00 mark I was just warning to download the file at 2500 by 2500 instead as I lead everyone wrong haha! :)

What's your process to calculate how much is safe to withdraw before tax season to leave enough revenue available for state, federal and income taxes?

Thank you Heather! Love all your videos and they have been super helpful as I recently started an ETSY POD shop =) You are the best!
Would I need to set u p a Ltd company for this or as POD is a lot of the legal stuff covered with self employed? For this type of work
Set up as an LLC. Nobody can sue you outside the realm of your company/business.
@@katiemason9727 ah thank you for your reply
how do you change the dimensions from 2500 x 2500 to 2000 x 500?
You can resize in the top left or when you originally go to create the custom template that's when you change the pixels. Hopefully this helps! :)
Hi! Can we sell both digital items and POD items such as T-shirts and mugs in the same Etsy shop?

Good videos
How do you prevent your entire listing from being reverted back to the printify basic photos and description anytime you want to update your prices?
Do any of the POD providers offer tall sizes?
Hi Heather... Do you not manually create your own shipping in Etsy, do you let Etsy create its own, and I'm from the UK, should I use a print provider from UK on printify or is it ok to use a provider from the states?
Im just starting out so I have no idea yet of customers and where they will be buying from..
Tks..
if you set 5.65 profit,what about etsy fees? that 5.65 is not profit,etsy fees will be taken out from that 5.65
Whenever I made a design and saved it to my computer it shows part of the design blacked out and part of it in color. Its only when i opne it on my computer . It does not look like that in canva . Does that matter ? I havent tried putting it on a mockup yet.
There anything canva does you can't do in photoshop?
Are we not able to download the design on the free canva account?
how do yo deal with the tax charge? if on printify it says 5$ profit then with the etsy discounts it adds up to 1$ per shirt .
hi what's your digital etsy store?
Do we save it as a PNG?
did you mean don't choose a print provider in a different country to me?
If I make a profit of 5.65 what do you suggest the price be for the shirt if I offer free shipping?
I live in Canada. I imagine most customers will be in the USA. Should I chose a USA print provider?
I also wonder this

Hi, I've started to doing similar step by step but I don't know why my background is not transparent on Canva and I've tried everything :(
to download with a transparent background, you need the Canva pro membership. Maybe Heather has an affiliate link with trial period or something.
So we should have at least 2000 x 2000 but it's better to have 5000x5000?
Yes this is correct! 2000 by 2000 at minimum but 5000 by 5000 is generally best use now.
@@itsheatherstudio thank you! So that is for the design, but what about the cover woru mock-up and images for the Etsy listing?
