In my opinion, turning 0 sales to 500 hundred dollars sales is much more difficult than scaling your 500 dollars hustle to a 5K business.... Also most people would be grateful if they made 500 dollars per month! I make 20 and I am aiming to 100 to be pleased!!

I likef the video despite not being to crazy about the punch in the intro. you're helping a lot and I appreciate you i'm not doing anything too special, I used to just see what is selling, use that for inspiration and do another design. just throw it on there and wait for sales. but I no longer do that, instead I pay more attention to the quality of designs and the size on different shirt hoodies etc... all while keeping the keywords choice in mind then I post on social media, fb, ig, pinterest etc... what used to take me one hour is now taking 3-4 since I work at multiple designs at a timr, but nothing comes just so easy, there has to be work done and i'm putting time and effort in

What size (in pixels) and how large should t-shirt designs be? Do you always use as much of the 4500x5400 space? I find sometimes that’s too large for some graphics. And how low from the top should we place graphic, 0 inches, .5 inch, 1 inch? Hopefully you can do a video on design placement in the future. Thank you
