    Hi Greg! I can’t thank you enough for all of your POD videos. I just got started about a week ago. Do you remember how long it took to make your first sale? I have 30 designs so far, on Red and Tee, and I hope to add 10-15 each week. Next stop…my Amazon MOD application. 😊

    The thing about Canva is that you are allowed to use the design images, even if they are copyrighted, as long as you combine it with other things. I don't know about templates, since I don't use those, but the individual images are allowed so long as you don't just slap one image on the page and call it good.

    Question 1 - Any tips on how to prevent other people or AI copying/stealing your designs? Can you make a video for that?
    Question 2 - Do you hold onto the designs and wait till you have 20-40 designs before uploading them?

    Hi Gregg, I just saw your 2024 tutorial, it was amazing. Thank you so much for your time, advice, and generosity in sharing your knowledge. I have a question about ensuring the original text I right is protected. If I have a good phrase/text idea I am worried about being copied, should I first get it copyrighted/trademarked, or does posting it alone give me any protection? I live in canada. Thank you again so much for your advice:)

      I would recommend just being aware of active vs passive print on demand. The main thing is using printify you will have to do your own advertising to bring buyers.

    • @GregGottfried
      @GregGottfried  Місяць тому

      Great question! I was able to create several other streams of income over the years so I don't rely solely on POD as my main business. This allows me to share the really valuable bits of info about the business that most sellers don't want to 'give away'. Hope that makes sense and helps answer your question!

    Is it ok if we didn't use the template from canva but like using the graphics from the graphics library to make our design and use it for the pod ? Will it get a copyright ?

    • @GregGottfried

      Great question. Unfortunately the graphics in the library are not all copyright-free so it’s risky to use for POD
