Im a total novice. Stay at home mom, looking for a creative side hustle. I just started designing with printify yesterday and got an ad for kittl, didn’t know what it was, but looked interesting. This video was super helpful to understand what I can do with Kittl and how to make it work with the printify and Etsy services I’m already using. Thanks!
What questions do you have about using Kittl with Printify or Etsy? Let us know and we can make another video! 👇 👉 For now, get started with Kittl: kit.tl/printifyetsy
Your video touched my heart deeply. As a struggling single mom, your design and ecommerce tutorial inspired me. Currently facing financial challenges, I'm determined to find a way to start small and dream big. Thank you for being my source of inspiration in pursuing financial independence.
...my small, exact sentiment... big dreams and so many creative ideas to serve different needs -- but finances to startup are scarce, definitely none available to risk to waste.
I'm a disabled vet and can't work outside my house. I work in the music industy primarily doing music critiques and creating guidebooks for musicians. But, I'm not even covering the cost of living. I'm so desperately excited to try this. I feel like crying.
I started my Etsy store in 2016 and I dabbled in making my own shirts with heat transfer and vinyl. I even ended up doing promotional hats, sweaters, and shirts for my friend's landscape company. I had registered as a sole-proprietorship so I got reseller status from Alphabroder. I've made sales on my Etsy but it was only 2 or 3 designs that were inspired by a comic hero, and I want to move to genuinely custom designs. My original target market was artists but I didn't know what they like!
Hey mate, enjoying this video. I am really new and trying to "get" the complete process from design to my Etsy shop. I will keep looking at all relevant videos that help me with this process. Cheers!!
Great comment but the background music is mind numbing. Not nitpicking because I’m a subscriber. The loop is so distracting. I’ve noticed that you’re lowering the volume in the newer vids. Not doing well in POD but my brick and mortar store in San Francisco is doing AMAZINGLY WELL in a large part because of Kittl. I love designing but I’m soooo slow. I still use my original cartooning skills for about 50% of my stuff but Kittl has allowed me to add new inventory and specifically seasonal stuff at a greatly accelerated rate while utilizing my original art at the core. I’m making record sales( for my store anyway)in a very competitive market. And i love seeing the delighted look on shoppers faces. As an artist its very gratifying. Maybe i’ll get the hang of POD but in the meantime I’m doing great. Thanks for all you do…
Recently heard your interview on the PODcast and got very intrigued with Kittl. I've signed up and now am watching your videos to learn all about Kittl, eRank and other tips for POD/Etsy success!
@@Kittldesign it would be great if kittl could introduce the erase tool and a feature that allows to search for "similar elements in this style" just like Canva.
I have just discovered your channel, I have learned lot from you, thanks for your helpful and informative video, I follow you now thanks again from 🇲🇦👍
This is a great video…! Thank You, this is a massive help for Me as I’m just starting out on My POD journey. I’ve attempted POD before but always hit a wall and can never figure out what I’m doing. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated ✌🏻💯
We know a lot of Etsy sellers who do. This will depend on budget, and what you are able to afford. But it is always best to see the actual physical product to get the best representation to show your customers.
When you upload SVGs, you should be able to immediately change colors, but if you are uploading a static JPEG or PNG, you would need to vectorize the image to edit individual colors.
I loved your tutorial, I took notes and was all ready to start researching, but eRank doesn’t appear to be free and seems to need a subscription now. Maybe different from when you made the video? Is there another program that would allow beginners to start product analysis no cost?
We also just recently noticed that eRank just put a gate on the features that are free vs. what is paid for, so yes, at the time of this video, the features you see in the video were free. There is also a tool called Everbee which has a free tier that can help you with ranking on Etsy as well.
Loving Kittl so far! And these tutorials are super helpful. Starting designs for Etsy. *Question*: is there a way to make designs for shirts CMYK instead of RGB for printing colors closest to what is seen on screen? TIA!
Hey there! Great question, as we are working on this color functionality. But as of now, we haven't seen much issue or variability with color on the physical product, as DTG is quite close to the exported graphic! Of course, color is always important to keep in mind, so we suggest ordering a proof of your shirt whenever possible so you get a real representation of what it's like.
Good tutorial but I used up all my searches trying to follow his search? I was only allowed 5 searches not 50, what happened there? That was useless as far as getting a handle on how to use this tool. But the guy was good, will follow to use Kittl but not so much eRank at this time.
Thanks for the feedback! There are a few specific places you have "quotas" or "searches" for in E-rank. What I used in the video was the Keyword Tool that's down below the main search bar up top. It's a little confusing, because they do different things. We'll be doing some videos in the future using some other Etsy ranking tools that may be easier to get the hand of.
Thanks Drew. this is very informative and step by step understandable. I am a beginner. I am exactly following your steps and using Printify. In Printify under "My Products" there is an option "Allow automated order routing". "Enable Automated Routing" In case your print provider is temporarily unavailable due to stock issues or your selected print provider is experiencing significant delays, we can automatically route the affected items to a different print provider, so your orders can arrive on time. I this they have mentioned there is an extra cost of $2. Do you have any detail video on Printify or can you make it? What if we select "Enable Automated Routing", the Retail Price of a product is $16 and Profit is $2.41. After this there is an additional $2 due to "Automated Routing print provider". So what would be the Profit. I might not be right but it would be great if you answer the right price calculation.
Hey there! We haven't looked into this specific issue/feature, but we would suggest checking out Printify's channel to see if they have some content for this (or joining one of their weekly lives to ask this question to Martin)!
Yes! We have a full masterclass tutorial for Kittl on our RU-vid Channel, and we are actually filming a new one in the coming weeks with brand new features. So stay tuned!
Are Kittl and Printify the best partners to use when creating canvases. I would really like to create beautiful artwork to compliment one's home. Any advice or thoughts would be deeply appreciated. Love your tutorials. Blessings
Thank you for the quick reply. Trying to get started but I think I read too much into everything and have info overload, Lol Just need to take that leap of faith. Thank you again.@@Kittldesign
That will also work! You can integrate your Print On Demand supplier with Shopify so that when someone orders from your site, it goes right to them. And you can use a similar research strategy to find profitable niches.
Great video!! When choosing a niche does that mean your whole store would be psychedelic? Im confused about if you choose a specific style if you need to stick to that...for example let's say you then wanted to do a fathers day shirt or a Bachelorette shirt, would it be best to keep those as psychedelic designs too?
There are certainly different ways to go about this, where you can either have a general store with a variety of niches, or individual stores for each niche. If you are just starting out, we think it's okay to have a variety of niches represented on your store to see what is working best, and if sales start to pick up on one specific item, then you may decide to open a shop specific to that niche!
I'm in the early stage of my Etsy store. I have been using Kittl templates. Unfortunately, I see many other sellers are doing the same, or almost identical designs. Designing originals takes time, so it's slow going for me. At least someone wearing my shirts won't be passing the same designs coming and going. Jeez, that Frankenstein face is everywhere!
Sure, sometimes a certain design style or tempalte style can be a bit oversaturated. We're getting ready to share an interview with Gary from T-Shirt Help Desk and he provides some helpful tips for making things stand out and actually be different from the rest, which may help you.
Omg, i just started with creating several designs from shirts, mugs, and journals. Everything is saved as a draft in printify because I haven't created an etsy store yet. However, i was downloading each design in SVG. What's the difference with PNG?
Hey there! An SVG is a scalable vector file, meaning it can be opened in advanced editing softwares (or laser cutting programs), a PNG is a static rasterized image, where you can remove the background from print on demand. Most all of the time, Print on demand platforms like Printify require a PNG file, which you can export from Kittl.
On kittl are the model images with tshirt designs considered stock images and do they abide by the Esty terms of agreement? I put up images from Kittl and got a message from Esty.
This will largely depend on the design itself, not the mockup of the design. There should be no issue with the mockups in Kittl, but if you are trying to sell a copyrighted or trademarked design, then Etsy will have an issue with it.
How are returns or refunds handled? If your Etsy customer wants to return the item is that done through the Etsy seller/shop or directly through Printify?
Oh boy...again I feel so stupid! Are we allowed to use the mockups (Kittl and/or Printify) as photos in our ETSY shop listings, or are we to order a sample of every single item we ever create so we can submit our own real photos?? (To me, that totally defeats the purpose of why folks go into POD in the first place) After reading the ETSY terms, it seems that the latter is the case. You've also intimated the latter in this video. You've ordered the sweatshirt, and will now make photos, etc. Who do I need to email for these specific questions?
Hey there! Scott from Brand Creators actually covered this topic in a recent interview we did. I would suggest checking out this video and you can scroll to that Chapter in the video where we are talking about mockups: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BW338Zp3tag.htmlsi=844pV8ws7uZ6OOdG
Hi! Let's say I am trying to sell and use bella canvas 3001 shirt (or any t-shirt style), can I search exactly the word "bella canvas 3001" on mockups inside Kittl? Thanks.
Hey there! You can easily export your design from Kittl using the "Download" button once you are ready. Then, once you select a product in Printify, you can easily drag it in or select upload from within Printify to place the design on apparel or anything else. Check out Printify's RU-vid channel for more help as well.
That’s something really simple. I used kitty and I ask it something and it does something random that I don’t want and it charged me points. It’s a good tool but needs upgrades to give you what you need.
Hey there, are you referencing the Kittl AI tool? Sometimes it does take a few tries to get exactly what you want, but that is the case with many other AI Art tools as well. We also worked the last 2 weeks on severely upgrading the AI renders, so we hope you start to see much more accurate prompts. Cheers!
@@Kittldesign thank you for your responce. I hope so it was more to the point. I asked for a car doing doing donuts and showing the background of downtown los angeles and it created me some weird art work. although that they were nice just not what i wanted and i wasted my credit which was a bumber.
Hey there! Printful will push your listing as a draft to Etsy, but from what we can tell, Printify pushes the listing immediately as "Live," and you must go and set it as a draft, if you want to continue editing it before publishing. We will research if there is a better way to do this.
Interesting! We would recommend checking to make sure everything is synced and connected properly between Printify and Etsy. It may also be hidden in the show more attributes section.
We think print-on-demand will be around for a very long time! All of the providers continue to add more and more products, so there are always more possibilities!
Are they?, if you believe that then you haven’t done your research, the mediocre tees they selling are the typical Chinese copy bs and who’s really wearing them 🥴 it’s not all about the cheapest tee.
@@ATCM1have you thought about the constant purchase of clothing? The tshirt gig will never fail, probably harder to make crazy cash but will never be out of the options of business. We need clothing unless the world decides to ditch shirts and go topless my guy.
Hey there! We highly recommend you check your speakers or headphones, as our audio in this video is highly produced and at optimal levels for all devices. :)
