Me too. I will keep moving forward as well. Much luck tp both of us :)

You just blew my mind with “Don’t create Christmas Designs.. go for evergreens” As I’m about to Tier up to 25.. I had totally planned to do many Christmas designs.. I’m so happy to hear this.. I hate Christmas 😂😂😂

I make Christmas designs all year around, I was making Valentines designs last week, I'm always topping up my annual evergreen niches all year round.

I'm not a successful MBA seller.. YET (lol) but i think only when you get to T100 or even T500 that you should start doing evergreen. This part of the year ca increase your chances of going up in tier and you need that so you can get more slots and fatten that 20% Philip is talking about in this video. I would say follow trends until you get to T100 and then start introducing evergreens to your portfolio.

That is so true. My new designs dont get views, it’s my designs from last years that get sold. It does take a lot of time.

I appreciate your videos so much. I get a few sales after 3 months. I'm not discouraged, I'm just learning. But, I go to work every day and keep designing. We get better every day!

Great mindset Best of luck! :)

What u said is the truth. All this videos hype u up and when is time to actually do it. It is a lot of work. I am opening an Etsy store and for digital not even physical. And it has been freaking crazy lol hours seating down trying to figure how things work lol because info is somewhat limited and even if u buy a course some answers might not be there. But yes, consistency peopleee. I’ve learn that at 35 years old, in order to do anything. You have to be consisten and do not procrastinate. Thank u for the info and all ur videos

You are one of the Best Print-On-Demand Professors in KZread!! Keep up the excellent job of teaching your fans these lessons and tutorials! 👍 I love your videos!! ❤ from other people I watched, I realized that the majority of times sales start to roll only after 6 months, to 1 year. But many people don't have the patience to wait for that long and they quit. they were believing that they are going to have sales in few days or in a month... I realized from your video or from other that it takes almost a year to see the fruit of your labour. One request please. Do you have any videos on how to do SEO about digital images downloads? What i mean is to use several social media to promote or bring traffic to our etsy shop cliparts? One video i watched, this woman says she is using "Pinterest" for bringing traffic to her Etsy store. Is that effective? do you have a similar video of how to bring visitors to our Etsy shop, without paying for Ads? thanks.

Just the pep talk I needed. I remind myself every day how much I have learned, developed & enjoyed creating designs for pod & everything that is involved to set up shop & promote my work. My purpose is, of course, to get the water boiling and I will be so much more skilled when that happens. Thank you for the video. I appreciate your work.

Brilliant...YOur video motivate me to keep doing designing until I get my first sale....I appreciate your truth words.

me too... i haven't sold a thing, except my sister that bought 3 shirts for her business. i started in June, had the store opened for 3 months.

I love what you do here on your channel, you make the best content in the pod community imo! I noticed when i wanr to see a video regarding a certain topic like how to vectorize images i always type in your name too because i know you deliver quality :)

TOP video! Thank you for sharing the truth in such a sympathetic way 👍🏻🙋‍♀️

All the points made in this video are really very effective Much needed and motivational video. Because I am going through all these situations and I can understand it better. whenever i thought about Q4. Just 1 thing comes to mind that is Christmas designs. Which i think has very high competition. But mandatory to do in Q4 for getting sales. But I'm very happy that i Don't need to do christmas designs only.

I think that is the reason why most of your followers prefer channels like yours or Juna's etc to all those POD channels out there (I know it's why I subscribed to your channel). Because you keep it real! None of this "make $21,346 a month easily!" nonsense! Keep up the good work, mate! If I ever make it in print-on-demand it'll be for a large part thanks to you! 🙏🏼😎

I often get discouraged with my lack of progress. I have been at this a lot longer than 3 months but I know I only fail if I give up. Thank you for these great words of wisdom

That is very, very good video! Thank you Philip!

I think all about is "quality IS better as quantity". I prefer have 30 good designs i think about or go into a "niche" instead of 200-300 designs which are just classic stuff everyone does...but its complicated to find a niche all exists already today so...

Thank you, Mr. Andres, great speaking شكرا🌸

Thank you for another motivational video. You are so right, and hopefully more people understand that success takes time. You are the best. 😎🙏❤️

Absolutely incredibly wise advise. So many get rich gurus out there. The reality I decided to approach this with is get nowhere fast and steady consistent work and they will someday buy. And thanks for not compressing this and editing like we have computer hearing. Appreciate your excellent content and delivery!!

This video was super informative as well and very much in light of keeping it real about expectations and having the proper mindset when entering the print on demand community. It’s helpful hearing from people like you that have had their feet in the trenches. Thanks Philip. Love it. I appreciate how you set up your next video as well, which is always related also, that you are down to earth, and humble.

The longer you wait for your designs to sell, the longer others have the opportunity to copy you and steal your sales.

You're welcome! @karenfrancis2868

@PhilipAnders - To get results in 3-12 months, how many designs do you suggest creating/posting per day, week, or month and to which platforms? For example…10 designs daily posted on Etsy. I know there’s no exact formula or science, but curious what consistent schedule you might have.

could you talk about pricing shirts please, i see tons on etsy starting at low prices with free shipping so they sell, but its the baby tee in the choices that is that price, and how do they use mydesigns and printify but offer free shipping

I partially agree with the author. But everyone who says that you need to wait 1-2 years themselves registered a long time ago, when there was no AI and such frantic competition. Of course, they had sales because they were not banned and were displayed in searches. But now there are already thousands of AI-powered designs that are uploaded every day. And most people don’t even search according to the new rules. That is, in a year the number of sales will not increase, but on the contrary, there will be even more competitors, against which we will be completely lost

Great video! Thanks!

Very encouraging:) I'll keep at it;) The effort is worth it as it's a learning curve, and I can see looking back at my designs how I can and could improve on them to give them more impact:)😊 Great video presentation, good analogies, it's all good:)😊 I'll keep at it:)😊

Thanks for this much needed encouragement 💕

just starting POD in Việt Nam some month and not yet get any sales from then to now. Thank you your video

ty so much Phil

Thank you!

Wow. Your video is absolutely flooring. This is what sets you apart from other KZreadrs. I hope this video is successful for you, and I also hope that this approach and mindset will spill into your other future videos. As you clearly know, POD can be discouraging and disappointing, and we all need a little encouragement from time to time, and a good reality check coupled with kindness and motivation. Thanks for providing that for us not only here in this video, but in all you do. I hope that something great happens for you today!

Hi Phil it’s Corey, I wrote you a while back with how you helped motivate me to dive into AI Coloring book creation. The last 7-8 months or so I’ve been at this and have around 40 books on Amazon…..not a single sale. Ran ads in the beginning and do need to hire someone within the next 6 months to make the business grow.

I love to create designs and i don't think at the money,i just love pod

Applause for your honest and realistic video.

Thanks a lot Philip, honestly, I've started to have doubt in everything I've been doing since i started to this moment, I was at tier 500 and got my account suspended, had to start from 0, still trapped in tier 10. At some point I wanted to give up everything. But watching your video gave me a fresh start, a new perspective and let's say a new energy to continue the process. thank you so much for these words they mean a lot ❤

What's T1000?

Any advice Philip on selling on Etsy to USA from UK with paying taxes? It seems complex and stopping me ging forwards. Thanks for your uploads..they really help

If you have 2 new designs (with same SEO, research, niche selection,etc, No Ads) being the same, does the Amazon algorithm automatically rank your designs higher if you’re in a higher tier? Or does each person’s design begin at the same BSR and move downward, and it’s all up to Amazon to decide which design they will show more than the other?

@smoki99able

10 ай бұрын

To have a good sale on Amazon without any Ads is difficult. Best your SEO target Keywords where not all products have BSR or no Keyword match with enough traffic, what is very hard today. When you no-BSR product gets clicks it will be more visible and If it get BSR and stars then even better. Tier Level does nothing for your Ranking, but you will have more lucky shoots.

Currently going through this now.. Six months in with a lot of learning, a lot of mistakes.

Subbed because of the honesty

Scaled designs are problem on teepublic?

If anyone has any questions let me know…..thanks again Phil. I love what I’m doing so keep that as your drive!

I am in that boat non stop working and no sells. But cant quit.

so inspirational video. thank for sharing. I think the rule 80-20 is not really true with Merch. It should be 99-1. 1% design got sale in total your product. :)

Sir your video is excellent today my kdp ac deactivate without any reason can you please teach me print on demand like t-shirt mug etc pls reply me.

So Philip, is POD a long-term investment? Is that how we should view it? Just allocate a year for it...

@PhilipAnders

10 ай бұрын

Mostly business I'd say is a long term thing. The benefit of pod is that it's low risk and low cost. But yeah it's not a short term cash grab

The issue is just too many people are doing it now. Just like too many youtube content creator and it's hard to get audience for beginner unless you doing an content that is hot and not too many competitors. I feel these marketplace will give the favour more to those who's been establish already. And even these ppl they're not having the kind of sales than before too cuz many competitors. Also most people are just doing the similar thing or niche or style, etc. Everyone just teaches you how to find a popular style or niche to follow a trend but no one can teach how to be the first one to start a trend instead. If you can be the first one then you can be successful but then after everyone will follow you. So the success could be just a temporary.

What's an evergreen design?

What do you suggest?

At least your telling it as it is , you are right you are part of the problem as everyone who says pod is on KZread , but this video sheds light on it not being easy at all

I been doing this for 8 years and print on demand still can’t generate me more than $500 a month unless it’s the holidays. Holidays are amazing. Rest of year blows
