guys, if you want to start just start for god sake . The more options you have, the more videos you watch for guidance and more distracted you gonna be. Stop looking for the perfect winning product, the best POD suplyer or tbe best place to sell. Start it, work work work, no salles ? Work work work. Be blessed . The overthinking will come with burnout and procastination, after that anxiety. Believe me, i know what i'm saying

Hello Alek, I just wanted to reach out and say ‘hi’! I’ve been watching lots of your YouTube videos and have a quick question for you, regarding setting up a Printify and Etsy accounts. You mention in the PDF something to the effect about the Etsy account setup, “If you do this, your account will more than likely be suspended..” I didn’t see that until I had already completed my account setup. Can you tell me what triggers Etsy, to suspend an account? My account was opened successfully on Friday, all the verifications completed successfully and my account was suspended the next day. When I filed an ‘Appeal’, they responded stating that they can’t tell me why but my account was suspended. Have you seen this before? Any suggestions? Thanks! Marty

Hey Alek!
In your Quick Start Guide do you recommend a personal or business google account?

[jameslindsey]

Do you have a separate bank account for each store front? No one ever talks about how they structure their PoD businesses. Do you have everything owned under one company name/LLC or do you split business ownership with the whole Brand company, Holding Company and Trust company model? If you do split them, do you have a different bank for each?

[МагазинВпечатлений-бу]

I really enjoy your videos. No hype, straight to the point, very educational and instruction-oriented. Thank you for making quality videos.

Why does none of your platforms have a link to your etsy shop? Suspicious

Alek, Could you please help me? Is it possible to create almost 1000 vector files in an hour using Ai? It can be pencil art, outlines of flowers birds butterflies etc.

I started my Etsy shop in Feb 2024, have about 189 listings and have gotten 12 sales so far, so I am optimistic. I am just trying to wrap my head around the logic of 4000 listings:

If I have 4000 listings live, I would essentially be paying $200 a month to keep those listings live on Etsy ($0.20 per listing per quarter, so $0.05 per listing per month). Would it be safe to assume that I could make more than $200 in profit (after all the Etsy fees, transaction fees, relisting fees, etc.) with that amount of listings?

The reason I ask this is because currently I have 189 listings but out of the 12 sales, 9 of them have been from one design, which gets pretty much all the views and clicks. From the stats, pretty much all the others listings don't have views or clicks. What would be your guys' advice on this? This goes out to @Alek or anyone else. Thanks in advance :)

You've mentioned on several videos that you must target your products toward Etsy buyers, the Etsy "avatar", for instance, instead of the ebay buyer. But you don't explain what this is. I'm just starting and I want to avoid this mistake but I need some definition. Thanks.

Hello, ive been watching your videos along with others and have opend up shop. But before i start uploading my designs i wanted to know what happens if my bank account does not have enough money in it to front the cost of x amount of orders? Say i only have $100 and am selling products at $30. When 4 products have been orderd and cost $120, what heppends?

[galaxia]

Alek, what's your experience with Printful?

[ebrahima]

Hi why you don’t recommend eBay platform for POD ?

[Jolyvision]

Thanks for your content ! I don't if you have an idea about this : Are you aware of any ethical suppliers to create ethical products for a wellness healthy ethical brand ?

[ebrahima]

Hey Alex using these photos from midjourney website for my t-shirt design would be ok I’m not violating any trademark also I’m interested on your printify uploader please send me a link

[reviewingwithalana]

What type of software did you begin with and graduate to? I feel this is important since we are creating and saving digital products

[hammers]

Hey Alek, gerat videos! Love all the detail and the easy layout we can all follow. What is your suggestion / how do you think I should reach out to Etsy Stores or people who want to do print on demand selling? I want to compete with Printful ( I own all the machinery to print tees) and help Etsy store owners make more money from their print on demand stores.

It's interesting how you slipped Printify in so it doesn't look like the sponsor. They are a good company. I didn't learn anything from this though.

What I need to know is EXACTLY how you'd do SEO for at least 5 designs for each product that people actually sell. 5 T-shirt designs with full title and tags
5 mug designs with full title and tag
5 whatever designs with full title and tag

Be the guy who actually gives useful SEO tips without glossing anyone over or pushing them to a course. Too many YouTube creators give only cursory tips on SEO. If it's that important and they are so good at ETSY and SEO then they should teach it more completely on YouTube.
