I applaud you for not ruining small businesses by putting them on blast so that all the copycats can attack. This is the problem I have with many YTubers in the POD/online shops space. They hide their own websites/Etsy shops yet have no problem showing everyone else's shops.

Thanks for all your hard work on our behalf, Shimmy! Great tips here, as usual. 😊

I appreciate your work and advice in this video. I agree it was good not to show everyone the screens of products and shops you audited, but some examples of what to do and what not to do would have been EXTREMELY helpful.

Hi Shimmy thank you for the constructive videos, very informal. I just started print on demand with Printify I wonder how long it takes to sell my first t Shirt, and which platform do you recommend thanks so much!

[BobbyCharlz]

Thank you for the great video as well as for keeping to the high-road and not trashing the not-so-good sites that you’ve seen out there.

I used to audit websites for a living, and I will add another aspect to your great points... pop-ups.

Having pop-ups on a site needs to be done carefully. They can ruin a shopping experience and increase bounce rates.

I now manage PPC and listing optimisation for Amazon sellers, where simplicity can hugely affect conversion rates and profits.

Hi! I love your videos.
I see you're in the UK, do you use any kind of cashback credit card? Thinking on getting one but it needs to be multicurrency since I pay pod companies in USD and receive in GBP from Etsy. Do you have suggestions? Thanks!

Hi shimmy, as always great video with a lot of valuable information. Can you make a video about how should we run ads on facebook for shopify?

[BlushandRosie]

Ive clicked on several POD/drop ship sites and you're right on the colors! Too many colors and those using Shopify seem to look the same. Its like a thing...

So many sites I've seen actually lack links with about, policies, etc.

Im the one that checks several phones while Im designing out my site, computer to phone, computer to phone so many times. LOL If I had a tablet, Id do that too.

I very much agree you so have to tweak using AI text. I design websites, mainly local businesses and researching comps you could see how many use AI and didn't tweak it, I so noticed.

Thank you so much! I was wondering if the other successful stores were also sell t-shirts?

[lynndaykin]

There's a reason all Amazon products are on a plain white background and they don't allow mockups. Buyers want to see as much of the product as possible and don't care what's in the background.

Thank you for this insight, these tips are Hobbs help me with my POD. I just started a few months ago.

[ChristopherMeeker]

I need a site that has good sales where I can just upload my designs. I just don't have the time to design my own site, maintain it, handle returns, etc.? Any recommendations... other than Amazon?

Great info! Video suggestion… best strategies for marketing print on demand products on social media

[coethion]

Thanks for this analysis, good video!
I wonder, is it better to do ads with facebook/instagram/tiktok or what would be your preference ? (for a clothing store)

[pubgiant]

I have an etsy shop, had had 1 year. 1, 500+ sales, all Printify. I want to do shopify. I have over 400 5 star reviews.... can i use those on my shopify store?

[yangchen]

Would you recommend using the same mockup for etsy as well?

Great video once again shimmy 🔥 i just can't get enough watching your videos hahaha

I have a question about Temu & Shein, these two rising big platform that also sell print on demand, since their prices are so low compared to someone who is starting out, are they going to end this print on demand business model ? how to compete with them ? why people would buy from a print on demand small business like me and not from these rising platform ?

i would be really happy if you can answer and clarify some point, and give your opinion on this matter.

thank you so much shimmy, you're just doing an awesome job 🔥
