Thanks for going over this. I've been debating making the switch for a while. If I don't continuously run sales I'm not competitive with others doing POD with printify. I make consistent sales but your margin difference is very encouraging for more sales. I also needed to Express an order this past Christmas. Printful didn't offer that service but Printify did so I used them. It was my first printify order. The customer was really pleased with it and got it on time. I think I'm going to gradually move over my products.

Hello. Let me ask a question since you actively use them. Maybe I missed it in the video but if doing tshirts and say printify original cost of the shirt is 10.00+4.00 shipping totalling 14.00. Are you paying the 14.00 upfront before the order ships or is that deducted from what you sold the shirt for? I ask because a friend of mine said you had to have money in your account to cover the cost of the shirt and shipping before the order is processed

By far the best enterprise comparison that I have seen! Thanks!

This is a super helpful video. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge ❤❤

Love your videos! I made my own version of the last trail before the veil and sold one! The biggest breakthrough for me was after watching your video about optimizing listings for sales. Once I really looked a myt listings and some popular Etsy stores, I realized I had a lot of work to do to entice people to buy. Some investment in a few nice mockups and really nice branding with Canva, and I'm now making consistent sales and am just trying to keep growing. Keep it coming!

hi Cassiy, great information. I would be great if you did a video comparing the two for Europe, and also the UK. I know Printful has two fullfilment centres here in europe, and the prices, yes, are a bit steep, but shipping is quite cheap, and quick. Printify has a very limited amount of products, and with so many countries, many of the printers are several countries away. It makes no sense to import from the USA, as the shipping time, shipping price, and 20% taxes make it impossible to make a profit. keep up the great work. love the channel.

@CassiyJohnson

Жыл бұрын

Sorry I don't have any experience selling outside of the US but I have heard people who do prefer Printful for the faster and cheaper international shipping. I choose to only sell in the US, and that is always an option no matter where you live. This way you only have to check for trademarks/copyrights in one place, don't have to worry about VAT fees or countries that require you take returns etc. And Etsy's largest shopping demographic is in the US. Best of luck either way!

Had some internet issues with the storms here last few days. Wanted to tell you i made 6 sales already :) and got my first 5 star review. Its all thanks to you really! You gave me the idea to even do this. Also wanted to tell you that when i used your link for prinify , the first month they gave me a $29 dollar credit the first month if you sign up for the premium. So it makes the first month free and on top of that with the stuff i ordered for myself and the 6 sales i have more than made the premium worth it. So thanks for that link too.

Hey there Cassiy, first of all - thanks for all your great videos. Always very informative, in depth and understandable. Now to my question which doen't really fit the topic of this video but maybe you can help me out somehow. I am starting a Tshirt shop on Etsy and am putting together my mockups atm. The thing I have seen is that most mockups, even for the unisex shirts, are mainly depicting women. Would you rather add male and female mockups to every bella canvas shirt or just state "unisex" in the title and use the female mockups? I mean, yeah if its a "guy-kinda shirt" then I'd use a male model, but a lot of designs are universely wearable so I guess I'd go with only females.

amazing vid!!! ty

Thank you so much for this video! Years ago I worked directly with a print company and it wasn't print on demand - I lost money. Now that I have started doing POD, I am really searching for good advice like this. I appreciate your time and your explanation.

I'm so happy to hear about your fantastic success - it is inspiring!

But Father's Day designs can sell all year round if they are just funny dad shirts so feel free to make some of those! Some good things to focus on right now as a beginner would be teacher shirts, family vacation and bachelorette party shirts! And then in July, I would start designing for Halloween/Fall!

Do you have a video on creating your price calculators? Do you have one for each platform you sell on? What all costs do you factor into your ultimate retail value? If/how do they differ per platform?

Great video. I'm finally getting good "how too" info on what I've known for a long time. One big hit item online can make an unbelievable amount of profit. So I'm still a bit fogged on how to make the connection between say Etsy, Amazon, etc and the printing/shipping supplier. How does all of this connect. I really appreciated your tip on using a credit card to pay the printer. That's a biggy. So to recap. Do I first go to Etsy/Amazon and set up a store? Then go to Printify and create designs for sell on my store? Then how do the links work back and forth? I'm looking for a step one, step two format that I can use.

You encouraged running daily sales so that it shows up as a certain amount of hours left on the sale to the customer. I have noticed a boost in sales after doing this, so thank you! My question is, is there a way on Etsy to set the sales ahead of time so that I don't have to go in each day and do it? A way to schedule them perhaps? Some days it's almost 10 am and I'm like "oh no, I haven't set the sale yet!" Any info would be helpful, thanks!

Hi Cassiy, great comparison video. I have been watching your channel as I got interested in POD but I have some concerns regarding international shipping because I live in UK and i think the buyers would be from UK as well. As everything in Printify is US based and shipping for international including UK is around $10 i calculated the profit just to be given a horror of negative $2 . So that doesn’t work out for me. I am a beginner right now and haven’t started yet. I am too cautious for these things. Please guide me through with this. Awaiting your reply 😊

Living in the UK does cost you a little more because of things like VAT fees as well. But a lot of people who live in the UK choose to sell only in the US, since that is where the majority of Etsy shoppers live anyway. Then you aren't paying the higher shipping costs on top of the VAT fees. Just a thought!

Hi! I found your channel yesterday 7/20 and I am learning so much. I also sent you an email. I am brand new at everything and I am trying to start a business but please don't take this wrong if you already answered this question and I just didn't see.

How much out of pocket money do I need to start off? Once someone orders something isn't there something I need to pay before they get their items?

@CassiyJohnson

Жыл бұрын

Congrats on getting started! Honestly it takes so long to get it going, I'd recommend starting sooner if you can. Most people go weeks before they get their first sale so don't overthink it! And yes when someone orders the shirt from you, that order gets sent to Printify. Printify charges your credit card for the amount of the item + shipping. Then Etsy pays you the amount the customer paid - Etsy fees. In the beginning I'd recommend having a few hundred dollars ideally because Etsy puts your shop on reserves and only pays you the full amount of the sale AFTER you ship it, so there is a small lag. I also use a credit card for Printify, that way I am not paying for the shirts until after I get the money from Etsy.
