I never thought I would find someone who acts and thinks as awkward as me! I've probably thought "gosh, that's totally me" more than you've thrown up the Hunger Games sign 😂 Love your videos and awkwardness! Thank you for being you, and providing useful information. ❤️
Love how much personality you added to your video! It’s fun to see the behind the scenes and get to know the person behind the “brand”! Great video as always!
Thank you. Great content. Tip if no one else told you, when you accidentally close a tab, just right click in the tabs area and select “reopen closed tab” or Ctrl + shift + T.
omg, seriously, you are my spirit animal! Tea drinking, Sims playing, untidy ladies unite! I love your content, but this little peak behind-the-scenes of you was awesome, heart-warming and so relatable. ❤️
I looked up that mug because your review intrigued me. The shipping on that mug Printed in Germany by Textildruck Europa shipped to USA is $17.49 for first item and $9.99 per additional item. That's profit prohibitive for a reseller. There are US based alternatives. FYI
I have been on etsy for years, off and on. I sold art, stuffed creatures, quilts, supplies, etc. that I created by hand. I've only ever been upset by being undercut by overseas businesses. KWIM? For the most part, few people will part with money for a painting or quilt or damn near anything that they reason they can do themselves. (Sure, whatever.) But amazingly they throw money around for tees, mugs, bags, and more, if art is on it. So, I can create and possibly get a sale. That's where this handmade seller is at right now. I have no apologies for turning to POD because the customers are there at etsy to buy a gift they can afford. Thanks, Heather!
Great video heather! Is there a video on what to do on the back end of Printify when an order comes in? Since it's a custom order what are the steps you take to make the custom order and upload it to Printify?
Heather, you are my favorite!🤭 Keep being you. I love your videos both for the content you teach us and also because of who you are and how you just allow us to see the real you. Thank you!
Love this video--thank you! And your videos aren't just educational, they're entertaining as heck too! One note--I think I'd allow spaces. Lots of people use two names. Mary Sue, Alice Anne, Bobbi Jo, etc. Thanks again! Watching the SEO video next!
Thanks for this video. Very nice to see a video tutorial outside of apparel. Of course most of us lost shirts of all sorts, but it’s nice to see other products that we can scale out a design if it makes sense or just a whole new product to put in our shop. Also would like to see you do a video on jewelry-Shine On tutorial would be AWESOME!! Wall art, canvas/posters that will be printed when ordered not digital wall art since so many videos. A lot of us like to order an item that’s actual a finished product 😂 but any item is great-we will take whatever you offer knowledge and efforts!! Much love!! Thanks again!!!!
First video I see. You're awesome ! You give a lot of value and have an amazing natural personnality ! ^^ Thank you for that great lesson of POD and lifestyle :-)
I love the awkwardness and that you play The Sims! I love that game and I'm super awkward as well haha! All of your videos have been so informative and I'm glad I found your channel!
Super work and tutorial as always! I'm slow in the brain so I have to repeat a lot of your videos but all is good and am getting this done now. Much appreciated!
Love your videos, Heather! Always so much great info! Question...with the personalization, do you have to go into every order and put their name on it, or is the name passed through to Printify from Etsy? Sorry, but I didn't quite understand how that process works. Thanks!
Great video!! I've been looking to start a new pod etsy shop and this has been so helpful! Also I love the sims!! I don't know why but feel like you would really like Stardew Valley!
Thanks again Heather ...have made a range of Halloween color morphing mugs...and so need to sell some...praying!!! Next up personalised mugs...thanks again. Please explain in detail how to go about the process in Printify/personisation. Hoping to sell many mugs...Christa ForeverYoungDesignSA
I go looking on CZcams for POD ideas, and find a designer who, like me, loves Cities Skylines and Sims enough to shell out for a gaming computer! I also push Photoshop to its limits with my digital art, so that helped me justify the cost. I have an Acer Nitro, and it runs Cities Skylines like the wind. My reward to myself after working on my Etsy store is taking some time to work on my city. 😀
Hi! Thanks for this tutorial! So I was able to follow everything except looks like this mug ships from Poland? The shipping is really high when I flipped it to US. Not sure if I’m missing something here? Thanks! 😊
Heather - I've seen this question posted multiple times. Can you address this, please? I am also curious how to profit from an item that has such a high shipping cost on top of production fees! Thank you!
Ok guys. Those who are willing let's team up to create multiple POD and Dropshipping Brand Businesses. Say 4 people per brand. Each conducting a certain duty i.e. design, management, marketing, quality control etc. That way we'll need less to get started.
Hi Heather, can you tell me what you do after order is placed. Do you make the custom .png for each order with a different name then push the order through printify yourself after you have made the personalized graphic?
I hadn’t noticed the max resolution underneath the minimum. Honestly sometimes I think the minimum shouldn’t be used. Bc the dpi actually changes, gets smaller, when you increase the size in printing. I’ve had to change diff the px to make sure it still matches the min dpi it requires. I am def gonna use your 5000x5000px
Thanks for the video! But I do have a question - what are the next steps after someone orders it personalized? I would go back to Printify and edit that listing each time I get a new order?
If you do personalized I suggest first of all turning off the automatic push settings in your print on demand back end. When an order comes through, you'll go to Canva and add in personalization then save and upload as a new product on Printify. After that you will edit the order to add in the new item(Note: you do not need to publish, only save as draft!). This is the best way I've found to do this as if let's say you had one 'Lauren' mug and then get a second one, you already have the product on the backend. Hopefully this helps and great question! :)
@@itsheatherstudio So sorry I am confused. If you do not publish but only save as draft, how will Printify know to send the product to the customer? Love your video's.
@@MJ-rf2gu I spoke directly with Printify about this. Clicking publish will only affect your Etsy store. Saving it as a draft will save whatever you changed in Printify when editing the design. I had them clarify that you do not have to publish again in order to have your print provider see the edits and use the new design. If you hit publish you will just be re-publishing the listing again on Etsy, that is all. I really hope this makes sense!
Actually esty decided that print on demand is considered hand made, they used to keep them on different platforms but brought them together a while ago.
Hey I absolutely loved your video! But I was trying to do that color changing mug from the German company and the shipping cost is $19 to the U.S plus 7 dollar production fee!😅😱😱
I have a question, perhaps for a future video (or maybe you've done it and I missed it)...do I add POD to my existing Etsy shop (almost 15 years, 5 star overall rating), or create a new one? It could potentially work in my current shop, but would I alienate my clients that come for what I sell now, or get them to purchase more. I mostly sell digital products now. I'm phasing out the tangible items I've experimented with offering the last year.
Do you create a different shop for your other items? Like mugs separate page from shirts/sweatshirts? Sorry if someone already asked this and I didn't read all the comments. :p
Heather, great video. When you enter the personalization option,do you have make the customized graphic then upload it to that order? You didn't really say.
Hi Heather, I can’t find any mock-ups with the color changing mugs being white inside and the outside being black, to show of my design off on black background. Any suggestions on how to post on Etsy other than using Printifys mock-ups?
I have a couple questions. For this video, you showed how you could copy all of the tags on Everbee. I don't have Everbee yet, so I can't do that. But one of the things that I have noticed when doing my tags, is that a lot of phrases that are used on bestsellers are considered trademarked when I look them up. So wouldn't you still need to check all of those tags? Also, at the beginning of the video you talked about the color changing mug. I may have missed it if you covered it, but is there a certain kind of graphic you should use for those mugs, or do you design them the same way you do everything else? Thanks!
I mentioned this in other videos- I have 50+ now so after a while my brain forgets to caution and I do apologize for this- but yes, tags do matter with trademark searching! I would never carry over like a 'Starbucks' or other tags so this is a great question. I personally think this mug is best with a black design but you could do a colorful or white design and add in maybe a black element that can show when heated. Hopefully this helps! :)
Heather, I watched a video where you showed how to price the t-shirts. I'm trying to figure out mugs, sweatshirts and hoodies to no avail!! Do you have a video out on how to figure out the pricing? Also I can't find the shipping either on the other items. I am offering free shipping so I have to know how much extra to price my items to cover the shipping. THANK YOU!
Hello there, love this video, just one question: What is the process of fulfilling the personalized order with printify, because every order will be different? Editing the name in Canva, uploading the design in printify and then create a manual order? Thanks 🙏
First, Great Video. Question: What is the size of the mockup for Etsy? there are many opinions and sometimes it fits, sometimes not, etc. I see you did it as 2048x1536 correct?
Dont worry, your awkwardness is adorable. We're all awkward. Question about the personalization... How does Etsy know what portion of the image will be changed? Not sure if im asking that right. I guess I mean because the whole image is saved as an image does it automatically go in and change the name to what they type (if so thats amazing and I dont understand how)? or, do you get a notification when someone does a personalized order and you have to go in and upload a new file with the their new name on it? Thank you, love your videos. I cant imagine how long it takes to edit a video like this. After editing for CZcams it prob makes POD seem like cakework.
This is probably a super dumb question but I am stumped on which side the front image goes (have designed a front and back mug with different things on each side) I’m getting mixed answers on google
Curious...with all of the sublimination and cricut business that are being started up locally are you noticing a drop in sales in diy sales online? My neighborhood is seriously saturated and unless u have something really unique sales r really hard to come by.
thanks for the video! love the tutorials! quick question tho, how do we get the designs from fabrica to canva? What do i do after i downloaded it? cuz when i try to drag it in to canva it says it doesn’t match the file type
I have a question, what do you do after they make the purchase with a custom name? How do you edit the design with the name and send it off to be made by printify? Do you just go back to your template and re-upload the design and edit the name ?
I always see the cutest designs on creative fabrica but a lot of them are sublimation images. Will they still turn out well on the products as long as I’m using the right pixel dimensions? Thank you!
Hi Heather, have made my own mug and am trying to post it on etsy. I am having trouble with the shipping profile for district photo. do you know what I would put for the shipping service? example usps parcel post, etc. Thank you!
Question Heather, on my store that i'm about to start, can i still design for Halloween ? I'm hoping it's not too late to start for Halloween, plus i'm gonna do Thanksgiving and Christmas. Also Thank You for Helping US!! Your The Best!
I never thought I would find someone who acts and thinks as awkward as me! I've probably thought "gosh, that's totally me" more than you've thrown up the Hunger Games sign 😂 Love your videos and awkwardness! Thank you for being you, and providing useful information. ❤️
Love your sweater Heather 😍
Love how much personality you added to your video! It’s fun to see the behind the scenes and get to know the person behind the “brand”! Great video as always!

I looked up that mug because your review intrigued me. The shipping on that mug Printed in Germany by Textildruck Europa shipped to USA is $17.49 for first item and $9.99 per additional item. That's profit prohibitive for a reseller. There are US based alternatives. FYI
was going to write that as well, thanks for pointing this out! :)
lol right
I have been on etsy for years, off and on. I sold art, stuffed creatures, quilts, supplies, etc. that I created by hand. I've only ever been upset by being undercut by overseas businesses. KWIM? For the most part, few people will part with money for a painting or quilt or damn near anything that they reason they can do themselves. (Sure, whatever.) But amazingly they throw money around for tees, mugs, bags, and more, if art is on it. So, I can create and possibly get a sale. That's where this handmade seller is at right now.

I love how genuine you are heather ! Never change ❤

appreciate for sharing this with us, excellent video
This is so beautiful channel video reading and you have a nice sound voice. I enjoy your topic.
I love your patchwork sweater!
Heather, you are my favorite!🤭 Keep being you. I love your videos both for the content you teach us and also because of who you are and how you just allow us to see the real you. Thank you!
I appreciate you for sharing this, excellent!
You’re completely bonkers and adorable at the same time - loved the video and have subscribed!
absolutely incredible info! thank you so much
THANKS A BUNCH, AMAZING VIDEO!!!
Love this video--thank you! And your videos aren't just educational, they're entertaining as heck too! One note--I think I'd allow spaces. Lots of people use two names. Mary Sue, Alice Anne, Bobbi Jo, etc. Thanks again! Watching the SEO video next!
YES! JUST WHAT I NEEDED, TY!!!
You’re absolutely doing your tea right! Never squeeze the tea bag, that makes it bitter
You differently are a funny character😀, and you still have good information for the Etsy platform,so thank you 🙏🏻

You should do your own mock ups! I’d buy them. Certainly before I would buy Cassiy’s 😂
I love the awkwardness and that you play The Sims! I love that game and I'm super awkward as well haha! All of your videos have been so informative and I'm glad I found your channel!
Literally me. Thanks for the info! 🥰
I watched! You are so fun - and love your content!
Super work and tutorial as always! I'm slow in the brain so I have to repeat a lot of your videos but all is good and am getting this done now. Much appreciated!
very helpful, worth the watch
wow, great video. thanks so much
Thank you for this! I’m thinking of opening another Etsy shop and POD mugs is what I want to try first. This was very helpful!
Ctrl shift T brings previously closed tabs back.
Ctrl T opens a new tab.
Or you probably know to right click a tab.
I'm awkward too! Let's go team awkward! 😁
I love this video! I am going to add some mugs to my store and start with Christmas designs. Thank you!!!
ill definitely try that, thanks!
Nice vid thank you for sharing with us

I have a Batman color changing mug, they are indeed awesome.
😂😂😂💜 You're awesome! Thanks for the tips!
Thank you, really helped me!
Thanks Heather, I have so many tabs open I have to go lie down now.
Hahaha! Yes, the stress of tabs can be real sometimes. :(

amazing vid!!! ty
Love this! How do we actually fulfill the personalized order and send out?
You look like Elizabeth Olsen, are you the sister of wanda (avenger). You are my pod mentor💌
So for personalized mugs what are you suggesting for a good price point? Also Green tea usually has caffeine so make sure yours doesn't.
Could you do a video on how to create a listing for Mr and Mrs mugs in the same listing with Printify?
Hi Steve!!!
great content. ty
Hey I absolutely loved your video! But I was trying to do that color changing mug from the German company and the shipping cost is $19 to the U.S plus 7 dollar production fee!😅😱😱

I always see the cutest designs on creative fabrica but a lot of them are sublimation images. Will they still turn out well on the products as long as I’m using the right pixel dimensions? Thank you!
Hi Heather! Question on the personalization aspect. Do you have to take the time to update the design and upload to printify for each personalization?
Hi Heather, have made my own mug and am trying to post it on etsy. I am having trouble with the shipping profile for district photo. do you know what I would put for the shipping service? example usps parcel post, etc.

Question Heather, on my store that i'm about to start, can i still design for Halloween ?
I'm hoping it's not too late to start for Halloween, plus i'm gonna do Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Also Thank You for Helping US!! Your The Best!
Just curious, could you have also used the mug template in Canva?
I need a rig reveal. So what'cha running for your PC?
Are all canva elements commercial free use? If we pay for canva pro…can we use pro elements for commercial use?
