Love your videos! Quick suggestion use rulers in Canva to identify template center and other points.

It is so nice to have someone do this side-by-side with you instead of making you pay for a tutorial where you do all the learning on your own. I've started with Episode 1 of the challenge and am taking this all the way through with you until I have a SUCCESSFUL Etsy shop! THANK YOU!

[thecrochetlady]

I have learned soooo much. thank you kindly for the precious time it takes to do these types of tutorials.

[KelciaMarie]

This makes me have much more respect for people who have like 50 variations on etsy

[BEKIND]

I've always wondered how to do this for pod, now I know and will apply what I learned from you! This has been super helpful! Thank you much! I appreciate you breaking it down step by step! ❤🙏

[ruthvidal]

awesome! I was about to quit on printify because of issues, but now maybe not. TY!

[hxgo]

I noticed that with hello custom when making the variations the printify skus could only be used once, so you have to make a copy of the product in printify to have a new sku and make a new variation. Is that right or I missed a step?

[j.leighscruggs]

This sounds great but aren’t there way too many people doing this already? How could I make money doing this? What are your thoughts? Also, what is the cost of such a program? Plus additional costs?

[southernbellcooks]

You are super helpful! Can you please tell us how to download the template from Printify? Thanks! Another quick question, do you use Printify for your ornaments? I know you say they ship same day, but I don't know how that works with Printify. Again, thanks!

[VivienneRussell]

LOVE your videos, Steven! I have learned more from you than any other Etsy YouTuber so thank you! Question...in your shop, do you have categories on the left margin for product type or niche type? So if someone has 50 mugs for sale but there are 10 birthday, 10 promoted To, etc, would they all be listed under mugs or would you have 5 niche categories?

[melissap.]

This is brilliant! I have been avoiding starting a custom products shop because of the customization work it would require. I'm going to start it now that I know this exists!

[Tawshpita]

U got me lost after downloading the file from printify, how u paste it on canva? U did it very quick, students can’t copy

[bridgetgehrke]

Such great info! I can not wait to get started! Thank you so much for laying the ground work for all of us. One question (I looked through previous questions first), when you are creating the etsy listing you mention production partner, but didn't really give info on what goes there. Hi, I'm new.. Would printify go here or the actual company we select for our product within printify?

[dkztzrt]

Hey, thanks for the detailed explanation.
But why did you duplicate the listing 11 times in Etsy? I thought the point of adding all the birth month SKUs as Etsy variations was so you'd only have 1 Etsy listing for all 12 mugs??

[migaventer]

If I approve an order on HC does it automatically go into production in printify? I have my printify set to manual order approval.

[dennisborg]

About 7 months ago, someone asked the very question that I have, however you have not relied to it to answer the question. That question was, “Why did you create 12 distinct Etsy listings when you already had the 12 variations in the first listing, with each variation mapped to the appropriate Printify SKU?” A supplemental question to this would be does Etsy allow that many mockups to show 12 Images, in addition to any other images for business info, like shop return policy, etc?

[karenfredericks]

Terrific tutorial. Can you clarify, right near the end, the customer's request / note to seller: Can I get this by the 13th? How do we - the shop - respond, how do we know if this is possible - what steps do we take on the timing requests that will definitely affect customer satisfaction? Many thanks! (I hope I didn't just miss you're addressing this earlier in the video!

If I can get you to help me with one more question 🙋‍♂️
When I do my market research and I find three top selling items that are selling a product that I cannot produce on printify. Let’s say a Tumblr with a metal straw with laser engraving. I can’t produce this from Printify however they sell these in abundance and it’s one of the hottest items selling from my current research. Now I know it’s not the only market however, it’s one of the hottest markets. This vacation travel mug. What do you do in that situation? Do you just move onto another market and just accept it? Or would you try to find that product to sell it? Thanks again in advance for all of your hard work and for responding to my questions you guys are awesome and I cannot wait to find success through your methods.

[Hein-V-ProVirBuServ]

Hey Steven. I am confused. If you add every month from Printify onto ONE Etsy listing, surely the SEO will be negatively impacted as the title, description, and tags will be exactly the same? How do you solve this problem?

[karenmcbride]

❤ This is a great deal for business's for a starter. You have shook out the getting it started problems... ❤ thank you for this information. I recently was accused of being an octopus! And found a mug with an octopus on it. My point being, create a mug with, I AM AN OCTOPUS. THANK YOU
