Thank you so much for all the great information! I have spend so much time watching other videos on this topic on KZread and yours is the best by far! Especially your longer, detailed videos have been so helpful. You lay out the info very simply and in small bit size amounts so it's easy to understand .... appreciate your work thank you!

Paused the video in the 1st minute to check if my designs show & they don't up. Wasted so much time uploading designs. Thanks for this vid!!

Thumbs up to you! I have saved all your videos for future reference. Thanks again!!

Another great video so nice to hear your cool calm voice and not over-excited fantasists Can I ask How do you actually see the items being sold because when you go in sales it just shows earnings not which products?

@zenwatercooler

Great question - I get an email each time there is a sale - it shows the product sold, the design and the margin. There is also a report that you can run that shows sales history too.

They will also ban your account for using public domain images. Like they did with mine. Deleting your store because they won't make it searchable, is just a waste of time. When they can keep doing it over and over again.

Hi, first of all, thank you so much for your videos, they really are informative and easy to follow. I have a Teepublic store (stencilmyst1, if it helps...). That store was banned once by Teepublic. it happened after I contacted them because I could not see my content after doing a search. After some time and some emailing I managed to get the store back up and running. I still can't find my designs when I try searching for them and, because of what happened the first time around, I'm a bit spooked about contacting them about that again. But the funny thing is, I have sold items from that store, twice, so I am really confused. People must be able to find my designs if they have sold, but I can't find them when I try searching for them? Any ideas about what could be going on?

It is a total guess - I know when I went through it, they showed up in Google search but not Teepublic search. Why Teepublic would turn off their own search is beyond me!

the top-selling designs in TP are trademark or copyright material you can check till page 10 page. & I'm sure those stores have been in TP for years by the number of designs and & followers.

Hello Sir, First of all, I like to thank you for this amazing content. I am a little bit confused about the first mistake you've mentioned. I have a design uploaded about valentines day and I type the title in the search bar and I haven't found my design but guess what, I've made 2 sales on that specific design, so what is the deal? If you please clear this confusion of mine, that will be so kind of you.

That is very interesting - my understanding is that designs might not show up in the Teepublic search results, but sometimes they do show up in the Google search results. Maybe someone found it that way? It is very frustrating how Teepublic has weird search. I congratulate you on your sales, that is great!

Thank you very much for your valuable tutorial. I opened an Teepublic account today. I have two other accounts Redbubble & Spring started in May 2022. But still no sales. Is it ok if I use the same name I used for Redbubble & Spring, to Teepublic storefront too.

Yes the store name is yours and typically it can be a good idea to have similar "branded" stores so that if someone recognizes your work (or you), it might help get a sale!

Yesterday, I received the email from Teepublic most people get, about my stuff not showing up on the search bar, no matter what I do.

My account was closed and I don't know why. I had been selling on the platform for over 6 years, Never had a problem until lately. I have contacted the legal department 6 times, to this day I still have not heard from them. By the way I have also been selling on Redbubble for the same amount of time. Any advice? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

No explanation for this strange Teepublic behaviour. They did the same to many many accounts. Just a bunch of assholes. Sorry

I got banned from Redbubble. They wouldn't provide me with any explanation as to why. I wasn't using copyrighted material or stealing designs, I have no idea what happened. No clear directions on how to fight it. Anyhow, it pissed me off so bad that I just gave up on POD. In comparison, do you think Tee Public is a good alternative? Can you earn as much on TP? Lastly, do I really need 100 designs for starters or can I start off with 10?

If you start up an account on Teepublic and your designs are available in search, then absolutely Teepublic is a great option. Some months I make more on Teepublic (with less designs) then on Redbubble. I think you could do any number of designs (10 for example) - generally speaking the more designs the more chances to make a sale. Go for it, I hope you can get the love for print on demand back!

I created an acount, but when I make the login it doesn t work...goes again to the e-mail to verify and confirm. And so on and so on...how strange. It doesn t open at all. Can you please help me? Thanks.

Is displate is for high skilled graphic designer not for average designers who create text+graphic designs ?

@zenwatercooler

2 жыл бұрын

That has not been my personal experience - I have made text-only designs (albeit with a textured background) and those seem to sell pretty well too. I think it comes down to the look and feel (since it is art that will be hanging in someone's house).

Can I always accept the tags that teepublic offers or should I check if its a trademark?

@zenwatercooler

5 ай бұрын

Hey there - I have never run into a tagging issue (tags themselves aren’t trademarked) - it is an interesting question though. I would personally steer away from any tags that represent trademarked designs in general just to avoid the bot flagging one of your designs in error. My opinion only!

I was wondering. If you have a redbubble account, is it harder to sign up to teepublic without them terminating your account within 24 hours since they are together, or is it that teepublic have become arrogant gits and don't want anymore sign ups and if that is the case they are digging their own grave. They should state what they want and stop giving people/artists high hopes. What is wrong with them.

Yeah I had a terrible time with Redbubble as well. They don't speak to you directly like they have a God complex or something. It's infuriating.

Can you go back to a design and edit the tags if they aren't working? I have some designs that show up and others that aren't.

I suspect Teepublic to have an ideological huge bias. They tend to purify their marketplace from almost anything out of designs related to LGBTQ, woke, wiccan, black magic, gore, psychopatic themes, new age, spiritual and religious stuff, modern art, sensless subjects like the famous astronaut character, unicorns, weird stuff and all kinds of superficial topics and unexpected combinations. Avoid that site. It's more like a culte than a business

Teepublic seem to be in a deleting mood atm. I got an email out of the blue saying that i'd violated terms and conditions (I hadn't, all of the stuff is mine and I carefully read the terms), no reason why or how and that they'd deleted my account. No reply to emails. I'll be going elsewhere
