Spoonflower (two years after this video released) is now allowing approval online via close scans of the pattern uploaded. You need only order one sample for confirmation of your mailing address. So after you input your mailing address, they allow you to proof the design online, then make public. So very quick process (I uploaded 4 patterns just this morning)
Hello, thanks so much for all the information I found it really helpful. Just a quick question . Does my vector/ai files need to also be in layers for patternbank? I don’t like working in layers on illustrator as I tend to clip mask my patterns and then drag it into the swatches . Thanks
hi!! I don't think that's an issue, the layers are important in PSD files so they can edit themselves. Since in illustrator everything is movable even if it's on the same layer, that shouldn't be any problem. I also don't work with layers in Illustrator 😉
9:40, you sugested that patternbank is far better in terms of earning !! How to get pattern Bank account verified? Or I should frame question differently, like step by step video on pattern bank account approval?
T’he contestat a IG també :) jo sempre recomano penjar molts dissenys i variacions perquè mai se sap què vol el client final, la majoria de vegades no és el que ens imaginem! Ànims i paciència 💪🤗
Hi Claudia! Thank you for your video. I became a seller on pattern bank a month ago and have around 50 patterns in my portfolio. At the same time, It's hard to find any information about pattern bank in designers' communities: is it create good income or not? Is it worth investing your time? Maybe you can tell us how successful is your personal experience with pattern bank? Have you any sales through this platform?
Hi!! I share my income and I explain more in detail all I've experienced in Patternbank (together with all the other platforms I've tried) in my course the Beginners' Guide to Passive Income, which will soon be updated (working on it during May). I'm also building a membership all about passive income and selling digital products, if you want to know more about it and get the lowest intro price you can join the waitlist here: heartmade.es/piga-waitlist. For now, my advice for now would be to leave it enough time (I tend to recommend a minimum of 3 months per platform before analysing the results). It sounds like you are doing a great job there, having already 50 patterns! Let's see if in the next 3 months you get the sales you want :)
Hi!! If Inkscape allows you to export in EPS, then you are good to go! You can see all the details on what files they accept here: support.patternbank.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360009914139-What-types-of-files-can-I-upload-
@@mia-chan1905 I can't offer legal advice, but Spoonflower has a customer service and you can directly reach out to them. I had to fill up a W-8 Ben form being from Spain, that depends on each country
Spoonflower and Patternbank are two completely different platforms. Spoonflower you upload designs for people to buy the fabric not the seamless design. Patternbank you need to be approved to sell just the designs. This video does not make sense as the websites don’t have the same purpose so aren’t comparable
@@Dimeee29 I am in the process of searching myself too. I thought about making my own site for download-able tiles at very high resolution because I know how to make them, like 8000x8000 pixels each or even better vector graphics. But making my own site means I need a double effort to get customers because they first need to find me and then I need to be bringing a lot of new patterns every day to keep the site filled with everything.
It depends. If you are selling non exclusive items you get 50% which is good compared to 10% on POD. You earn more for selling less plus you can keep selling that same design over and over again on the site..

Thank you! Finally someone talking about valuable lessons in surface design, not harping about their own courses. Love it!
oh thank you! that really means a lot to me. I'm glad you found that useful ❤👏
Very interesting and thorough, thank you

Hi. I believe patternbank will make payments through PayPal only. Hope this helped little

Glad to hear that! Thanks for your comment it means a lot
Thank you ! Very useful
Is there any issue to become a verified seller for a Spanish resident in terms of tax form?
Thanks
Thank you, Claudia. This was incredibly helpful.
How long did it take to get your first sale on spoonflower? Thanks for good info
Moltes gràcies per l'explicació. Jo només estic a Spoonflower (a part d'altres PODs), però la veritat és que no tinc gaires vendes 😑

What is the size of designs which both sites needed
Great comparison, thank you!
I have many textile designs which I want to sell but how can I sell them? Thank you in advance.

@@HeartmadeDesign Thank you! Your answer is very helpful!
I'd be curious to know now after 6 months how things have worked out for you with your portfolio!
@@SalleyneDesign hi! Sure. My first sale happens after 2 months on the platform. And I have around 2-3 sales every month now.
@@AnastasiaStefanovska thanks so much for your response! Thats good to know. And congrats on your sales!
Very useful, thank you for breaking it down
thank you!! it's really useful ❤
Really helpful information. Thank you!
Molt interessant. Gràcies Clàudia!
de res! Gràcies pel teu comentari 👏👏👏
Hi Claudia, do you know if Inkscape files are acceptable in Patternbank?
Hi!! If Inkscape allows you to export in EPS, then you are good to go! You can see all the details on what files they accept here: support.patternbank.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360009914139-What-types-of-files-can-I-upload-
How to join the course
You can find all my digital product trainings and direct support from me at the passive income growth academy: www.heartmade.es/piga
Great review!

very informative thank you so much!!
Please i need answer what if i dont come from us, how to apply the tax?
For spoon flower

@@HeartmadeDesign im sorry can i ask again what payment type selection for spoonflower
Thank you
Thanks a lot very useful content
Do they accept digital art patterns?
I'm sure they do! As long as you're the creator it doesn't matter which medium you use ;)
Do my seamless pattern designs have to be square? Can they be rectangular?
Yes they can be rectangular!
@@HeartmadeDesign Can you upload a rectangle pattern to the Spoonflower pattern site?
@@HeartmadeDesign Is it possible to upload a rectangular pattern in the Spoonflower site?
Nice video, thx.

Patternbank you need to be approved to sell just the designs. This video does not make sense as the websites don’t have the same purpose so aren’t comparable
Spoonflower is just making money off designers.
Stay away from patternbank, the whole process of becoming a seller and the amount they keep from your sales is absurd.
Where do you suggest we sell? I’m researching where to sell my designs I’m a newb
