Your videos are the best that I've seen in teaching others how to do this. This has helped me immensely. I so appreciate this and I wish you much success!

I absolutely love your channel! Soooo informative and worth every minute spent on it! Thank you so much for what you do!

Alek, this was a very helpful video. I learned so many new tricks and hacks and I want to thank you for sharing!!! I wish you all the best!

Dude. That's a brilliant idea . AI's been really helpful . I've just started POD , trying to find my niche, and just opened the store

I must note through my own long experience on PODs since 2011. You need quality designs, designs that customers want or you cannot find success no matter what you do. With good designs all of the other factors then become important, research, SEO etc.

Hi Alex! Your videos are so awesome and such a help! Is this just for tumbler artwork? Thanks so much for being willing to share your knowledge with us!!!

Hey Alex, thanks for sharing. Very interesting and very informative. One small point...you use the word 'profit' when you actually mean revenue / gross income. Profit is the net amount left after all costs.

I'm in love with this videos, specially because today is my first day full time experimenting with midjourney for my stores! Alek, I'm commited! I will open 3 stores!

Your tutorials are the best ✨🏆✨

for anyone confused on the tumbler aspect ratio he used. It only seems to work on the vagabond 20 oz tumbler in printify. It will not be 9.3 by 8.2

OMG. Informative, powerful, and potentially transformational video.

I figured out how to calculate the aspect ratio. So if you have a picture that is 5 inches x 4 inches , the aspect ratio is 5:4 and is equal to .8 or 80%. For an 20oz skinny tumbler, the dimensions are 9.3 inches by 8.2 inches. When the latter two numbers is divided, you get 1.13 (rounded). I played around with the aspect ratio 3:2. 3 divided by 2 is 1.5, which is close, but not close enough to 1.13. Fiddling with the numbers, I found that 3 divided by 2.65 yielded 1.13! To then, I just multiplied both numbers by 100 to get the aspect ratio 300:265. I created it in Midjourney and tried the image out in Canva and it worked! There is probably an easier math route, but I thought I would pass it on. Alek and you all have helped me so much in my new venture. Now I can at least figure out any aspect ratio I need.

I would love to hear about the other aspects of getting the business to the point where they are today. Example’s like their marketing plan? The cost of that marketing plan? How do the drive eye balls to their site? I dig your video in as much as giving folks ideas for side hustles and using A.I. to be efficient. But I would love to see a follow up video where you talk with the owners of the sites and ask pointed questions in regards to the full operating costs associated with running a successful Etsy sight.

AI is so powerful today that you pretty much have to use it. I don't complain because it's really good for content creators and good thing is that you can boost that same AI content you create with tools designed for that (there is so many of these right now, that it makes everything a lot easier to do and succeed on social media). And I think that AI is the best invention in this century so far.

Thank you for the video! What size tumblers are you using for the design format given?

It sucks that Printify ran out of skinny tumblers, printful seems to have some of the skinny straight one, but your cost would be about $20 and that's very high. I am looking somewhere else. Thank you so much for your instructions. They are super helpful. Learning is fun.

How do you calculate aspect ratio? I can't convert the ratios in Printify to ap. So I can't get the numbers you got. How do you do this ?

Great video. Can you share your stores when sells your product. This will be bigger inspiration for us.

Awesome,very good idea👍

Hi Alek, thanks for the vid in your experience, is it better to niche down to just the digital aspect of tumblers so the shop would appear organized and of reference to customers? or it's ok to combine both digital and physical since the customer would only find the optimized search result regardless of what's actually listed inside the store? both have advantages and disadvantages imo, but what does actually work in your experience?

Question Alek: I'm looking for the answer as to why there IS a seam on the tumbler back after using your aspect ratio, tiling the image and using CREATE PATTERN in Printify. Solution so appreciated! Thanks for the great videos Alek.

Hi Alek, I love our videos, thank you for explaining step by step the entire process. I cannot figure out why my midjourney images are not uploading to printify correctly. For instance tumblers, I put --ar 128:69 --tile after each prompt, selected a 20oz tumbler on printify and my images don't match up/fit. The preview section of each item in printify will show where the image connects and it is not seamless since I have to make adjustments. Clearly user error. What am I doing wrong? Am I saving them incorrectly? Any advice would be much appreciated.

@D3vil3d3gg

11 ай бұрын

I came across similar issues within MJ and found that adding "seamless, repeating pattern" before aspect ratio and tile helped center the images and create the patterns I desired. Not sure if that will translate into Printify, but it will help in the MJ portion to start at least. Hope that helps.

Great video!! Do you check/test you image sizing to make sure they are sized for the tumblers? When I do there is always a seam even if I used exactly the size he tumbler is. Any ideas for this? Or do I just make the PNG's the right size and the person buying needs to figure out how to resize as long as I made them a seamless pattern?

I love your videos! One question, Alek...how do you know what aspect ratio to add to your command so it's the right size for your particular product?

@greesemonka

I too have a issue making midjourney image fit different items

question for you on the size command, when I enter the --ar 128:69 to generate an image it produces an actual image size after saving of 20.67"Wx11.11"H that won't allow me to resize to the standard 9.5"Wx8.5"H slim 20oz tumblers take. Was that a mistake or am I missing something? Nice video thanks for all the info!

thanks alex, wanted to ask if you could provide an source to know if the our design is good!

interested. thank you bro.

Hello, great video, but just a question. The /imagine prompt would only populate if you signed up for the subscription? Thank you!!

I am having a very difficult time understanding the required image sizes for best quality on the different products. Most products require a quality that AI generators don’t offer. Can you perhaps offer some direction on the DPI and ratios ? As it seems, the quality that is produced is the same and only redistributed amongst the different aspect ratios but either way the resolution is still effected and quality drops when trying to apply the picture to a product?

Hi Alek. I'm trying the prompt to generate 9 different images but Midjourney keeps giving me the error "too many prompts" and says my limit is 4....? I have 3 subjets in the brackets then 3 places/locations and then my aspect ratio. Just curious if there's a trick to getting it to generate 9?

Hi Alex, I enjoy your videos, thank you for taking the time to make them. Can I ask what is the best way to write in a prompt that I would like a style like children's illustration or children's drawing? something cute and lovely for children's clothes. thank you!

Hi Alek, find your tutorials really good thank you! I’m just a bit confused - if I sell the digital tumbler wrap designs as well as the actual POD tumblers then other people will purchase my tumbler wrap designs and sell the exact same POD tumblers .. maybe it’s not something to worry about that people will sell the exact same product on Etsy?

Hey Alek, what do you think about wall art?

what if the image is to go on a tumbler that does not have straight edges..like a cup that is wider on top narrow on bottom..how would you get that to be seamless when it would have to overlap on the narrow part..thanks

Figured it out! It's --ar 4:3

Hi Alek. 128:69 = Is that inches? Pixels? To what tumbler does that fit? It looks different from the graphics to a 20 oz skinny tumbler that a lot of Etsy Mock ups use.

are people printing them as stickers? or what cups would these even fit ? if they went the digital download road versus getting it printed on a cup

so with the 4 pics you get from midjourney when you upload to printify is 1 pic downloaded at a time and it gives you 4 seperate designs?

This is so valuable & I'm watching every one of these but I'm still pretty new at this. Can you tell me why when I type in the "--ar 128:69--tile" I am still getting a 1:1 ratio every time and I can see it's not going to tile at all! Super frustrated! Thanks

Hi. Thank You that IS very helpful. I have a Question though, what IS the best Format or the Size for a Tumbler Design, as JPEG or PNG, in Millimeters or Inch. Thank you

When your talking about the tumbler wraps an the numbers for perfect fit would that work on Leonardo AI? To as on what your doing with mid journey?

Can we see that shop which you are talking about? on time 0:29

Are people just selling the tumbler designs or are they drop shipping from Printify? I'm looking for something that I won't need much capital $ to get going. If I decide to dropship from Printify, do I need to pay Printify upfront before the customer funds are received and deposited into my bank? Thank you!

@Alek I am brand new to this! I am entering the prompt --are 128.69 to design a tumbler and it keeps saying invalid prompt. What am I.doing.wrong???

What do you think about selling these on Amazon? Would it sell as well?

Hi Alek, thank for the vidéo, i have a question, where did u found this awesome designs ?

Where does the code ar-128 come from when creating the image using AI?

all artwork you make for this has to be 300 dpi correct?does printify handle lost orders or broken items?

so do you sell the images as png? or psd?

Thanks for the great video. Do you know if it possible to sell on US Etsy shop with a company owned in Australia?

So are you selling just the tumbler wrap design or the actual tumbler wrap itself? I'm a little confused if the person would just be buying like a png template of the design graphic or the actual peel and stick tumbler sticker with design on it. thanks....

do you use any image enlarger websites even after upscaling from discord?

Oddly, I downloaded the same mockup, but Photopea doesn't list the Your Design Layer Here under layers.

Is there a way to make sure you don't get copywriter images from AI or does it do it on its own?

How do you get the wrap on the tumbler so nice? I've been editing my images for about 45 minutes now and I'm not even close.

Quality over quality. If all your mockups, designs, titles, pictures, descriptions, and tags are all well researched, customer focused, solving problems and just a little better than the competition, you can make a killing with one a week. More isn't better on ETSY. Better is better.

Love this idea and I'm giving it a shot. One question: how do you get Midjourney to tile only left to right and not all four sides? Its drastically changing the art style when I include the "tile" prompt so that it can repeat the top and bottom. Goes from beautiful art work to a child's book art work with the same prompt. lol

AI design tool are very helpful but they rarely spit out finished design products. Often they can get the design 85% of the way there. In order to get designs that stand out and feel more custom and consistently branded to other designs in your store, you will want a designer to add the sprinkles. Talking about using Photopea to correct AI mistakes is a nice touch. Great content!

I agree with @dotpenji, A real designer can tweak and adjust the design based on your feedback and make changes until you are satisfied with the final result. AI design, on the other hand, involves using computer algorithms and machine learning to generate a design based on pre-existing templates and design elements.

I see a huge potential problem with this. The tumblers in most mockups (skinny) and the tumblers on printify are not the same. People will nitpick this and could cost reviews. I got a 3 star review on a sticker the person actually liked just because I accidently didn't make the background white and it was more transparent in the mockup. This could absolutely cost reviews and I'm not able to find 20oz mockups that look like the ones on printify. If you have a solution i'd like to hear it.
