Troubleshooting: If you try this and when you change the design, yours doesn't update on the mockups page, then you probably forgot to "make it a component". 6:01 is the spot in the video where I show you how to do that ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FubIbfLqeNs.htmlsi=pLgnKrW1UbozYG-t&t=361
Figma!!! Oh Cassi!! This could be a game changer. I have a full time 8-5 and an hour commute both ways so the little time I have is EVERYTHING for my Etsy business! This will make a big difference. Excited to try it out!! Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏾❤️
I have 110 designs that I need to create mockups for using 6 - 8 different colors. You and Alek have helped me get my Shopify store up, probably a month sooner than I would have. I hated Figma, but now I love it.
I'm a UX Designer and use Figma to create wireframes & prototypes. I'm just learning the ropes to launch some designs for POD and I love that I can use it for this, too!
SUCH an amazing tool! I tried it out and I LOVE it! Thank you! One thing I learned while I was doing it was that you can add rectangle shapes first. Then hit ctrl, shift, k (win) and place each image in the rectangle box. That way they form a nice grid and you don't have to work with mockups that are all different shapes and sizes. It was more visually appealing, less overwhelming, and easier to resize for me!
FIGMA! This is awesome! Since you get 3 pages, I set up one page for Front Mockups and one page for Back Mockups! This will save me so much time! Thank you for sharing!!
This might be the best tutorial I have ever watched as far as helping me truly save time. I watch Alek and love all of his content, but somehow this video made me take action. I started with Figma this afternoon and picked it back up tonight following your video. I cannot believe how much time this saves!!! AMAZING!!! Thank you so much, Cassiy!
Cassiy, you are the Queen of Etsy Royal Teaching! I bow to you, my Queen. This video among the many on RU-vid has saved me (a newbie) tons of hours in bulk mockup creations. I have just stepped into this arena, and as a retired consumer market research analyst, I have researched hours of RU-vid Etsy videos before subscribing to you. While I have an extensive designer career background, you have filled in the vital parts of the puzzle with your videos to guide me in the right path to success. This video has given me one of many tools that I knew I needed to for bulk mockups. I thank you for Paying it forward. You will continue to be rewarded.
I cannot wait to try Figma! Doing mockups seems to be what takes me the longest in the whole process of listing! Thanks so much for sharing this tutuorial, Cassiy!
Thankyou for this. I have been wasting a lot of time making my mock ups and was looking for something just like this. I will definitely be trying this method and using Figma.
Figma! This is exactly what was keeping me from opening my shop. I was so overwhelmed with the setting up that I just couldn't move past this step. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You are a genius!! I watched Alek’s video but thought $20 of Photoshop for just placing a rectangle on a mockup is not appealing at all. You solved exactly my problem! 🙏
I did it! and it works really well. The first time I messed up by messing up the original design template. so I did it over and it works so well. Thank you Cassiy.
FIGMA FIGMA FIGMA!!! Wowza! I just did this. I had 4 designs I created last night and today was Mock Up day and found this video this morning. Just did, AMAZING!!! LOVE IT! Thanks so much for figuring this out and sharing the love! ~ Raeanne
I would think this will be brilliant for 'flat' designs, but what would you say about using the idea for say MUGS, I would be very pleased to hear your ideas! Thanks 😊
Figma. Thank you for your videos! They are amazing! I wish I could afford your course, but it isn’t in the cards at the moment between just starting out and untimely emergency engine repairs on my car. Thank you for your content!
Completely understand! I hope you get tons of value from my YT videos and that they really help you move the needle in your business ❤️ I know it takes a lot of learning and time to get it going but you’ve got this!
Viva Figma!!!! Oh my gosh !! This is a dream. I’m an infant Etsy seller. I cannot even quantify how long that would have taken me. Now I see how to order the process so I can fully use this method.
OMG!!! This is a true game changer! I've recently found your channel and appreciate the time you take to explain everything so well - free is only limited now so I may be buying the yearly in the end!
I just came across your video, thank you so much for sharing. I am a homeschool mom of three, work part time, this will save me so much time! Thank you.
Figma. Thanks so much, Cassiy. I'm learning so much, but I get design paralysis. Especially with time management and getting more designs up. This video is very helpful. This is great for multiple colors and items. I made 89 bulk designs, and then I didn't like the tshirt colors available or the letter colors I used. UGH. I'm sure I'm not the only one experiencing this. Baby steps, but thank you so much for you no-nonsense help.
Figma! Thank you so much!!! I watched Alek's video where he explained this (many, many times)! He has great information and I'm very grateful he shared this but I had never heard of Figma, much less used it, and I couldn't figure it out. I'm brand new so EVERYTHING takes me forever but I still have a very demanding job. This is truly amazing! Many thanks to you both!
Figma!!! Can't wait to get home and trying this out. I have a question, how do you figure out good tags for your products? I'm trying to sell mugs and I'm not the best with the titles and tags. Any little bit helps, Thank you.
Figma! I want to say i even saw the video where he spoke about figma awhile back but this makes it feel so much more doable! Thank you for sharing this tutorial Cassiy!
wow Cassiy this is awesome …, Figma…. I will try it out tonight!!! I love your videos , thank you !!! You, Mandy and Simply Shawna are the queens and the BEST teachers!!! I love that you all know and respect each other !❤
They sell smart mockups for candles on Etsy that you can make using photopea! Look up how to use smart mockups with photopea on YT and you should find some good tutorials!
Thanks! I’ll try that. I did buy a mockup, but in Canva it only fills the frame “flat”. So it looks really bad. lol The Printify candle mockups are nice. But I do want to make my own!
Hey Cassiy! I'm experiencing my first proper Christmas season with regular sales between 7-20 per day and OMG the customer service aspect is intense: out-of-stock items, missing tracking numbers, late items, lost items, orders by mistake, Printify Live Chat marathons (+ a few personalized orders)🤯I spend all day reacting and talking to customers or Printify Live Agents and trouble-shooting. How do high-volume sellers even handle 40-100 daily sales without burnout? How do you take a day/weekend off or manage your shop when you get sick. Is it possible to make this sustainable and scale-able without becoming exhausting? Grateful for any advice❤
Hi! I’ve no idea (yet!) but heard another Etsy educator talk about how to hire / outsource / get a team going and how to automate things - like personalisation with Hello Custom . I hope you/we can quite FT work by then and manage it !!
1. Use a better POD provider such as printed mint with less mistakes if any. 2. Outsource help with filipino virtual assistants. I once had 120-140 orders daily during christmas rush during covid and burnt out. I hired virtual assistants. But then you have to manage them. So yeah you grow and learn new problems lol
You may have skipped the part where you need to make the design on the design tab a component, go back to the middle of the video and double check that!
Hi Cassiy just wondering if you plan to do a video about the Etsy rule regarding mockups having to be of the actual FINISHED product now? Apparently the rule has been in place since 2018 but Etsy have only recently begun policing this (using bots probably too). So there are many people who are getting suspensions and/or being banned from selling on Etsy because they are not using photos of the actual FINISHED product on their listings - only using digital mockups and then placing the digital design on that as per how you teach on your channel. This rule is going to dramatically impact many Etsy stores if we have to all buy a sample product of each design we make. I did think about perhaps just buying a few sample blank tshirts from my POD supplier and then make my own mock up but then this is still, technically, not legal according to Etsy because technically still not a FINISHED product. Help!
Hi Cassiy, thank you for this video... would you consider doing a video on how to use the new TESS . I get so many results with just one of my words in it. It's hard to know what is protected and what is safe to use. Thank you.
Yes I will be making a video on it soon! In the meantime, sort by wordmark on the left and click "expert" on the right. Then once you search, uncheck the dead listings on the left, and then check the class code 25 on the left as well. This will narrow the results a lot for you! Then it will still bring a bunch of unrelated stuff up. So do "command + F" or "Control + F" to get the search bar to come up. Type in the exact words you are trying to find and then you can click the next arrow over and over to go through only the ones that are matches. Hope this quick typed out version helps in the meantime!
How do we automate other tedious parts. For example generating seo optimized product descriptions. And versions of a product for example for a white tshirt I might have white lettering and for a black T-shirt white lettering?
I guess I'll be re downloading Figma again. I thought this was Alek's automated photoshop one that I couldn't figure out. 😅 oh and make sure it's on "scale" not "move" so when you resize the mockup it's not cropping.
I may be a bit slow, where do you get all the mockups in your download? Did you buy them, create them? Since I have ZERO experience with this technology, no matter how many times I replay, there seems to be a step I'm missing. You do a great job explaining, I just can't keep up with the steps if I do t even know how or where you get the mock-up in the first place. Downloading them from where to where is a main question.
Figma , at the beginning you said about canva and making sure the images are in same positions on canva. All my designs were created on kittl so do i just upload these onto canva to position them? I hope this makes sense 😅
No you can do this on kittl as well; just make one test design to ensure it fits onto your template in the right spot. Then all of your designs put them in the same spot on the kittl canvas each time so that they are placed correctly on the mockups
Thank you Cassiy for this tutorial. This looks like a huge time safer! I happen to have the problem though, that the designs are not being exchanged. Do you happen to know what could case this? A specific setting, etc.? Thank you so much!!
You may have skipped the step where you make the design on the design page a component, go back towards the middle of the video and re check that part just in case!
💕You are so sweet 💕 🌱Beauty with brain🌿 Your dressing sense is awesome Sweater Suits you Great colour choice in designs n in your near by things as well... Amazing you💞
Hi Cassiy apparently these past weeks/days a lot of shops including old shops are getting suspended. Could you please do a video on this and what to avoid. This is getting alarming now.
Great video! What is the process after creating the mockups as far as getting them onto our listings? Do you import back into Canva or can you access directly from Etsy to upload the pictures?
