My New Print on Demand Store is Blowing Up! 🤯 

Thank you so much Connie ☺️

@@shimmymorris1 my pleasure 🙏

What paid community is this? Interested...

@@ginnyw0110 it’s the print on demand hub. It’s our paid community hosted on Skool. You can check it out here: www.skool.com/theprintondemandhub

thank you!

Yes! I have been planning a marketing video. Just need to finish it

@@shimmymorris1 This is a great idea. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of videos that show you how to start up and design a product but not really any that touch on the marketing aspect, which is probably the most important!!! It's not really useful to say "Look! My new print on demand business is doing great!" without including everything that went into getting it to that point. There's zero chance that you just made some products, threw them on Etsy and waited.

Thank you!

Thanks for the update.😊

I heard he said that working with his wife

All RU-vidrs say we to make you feel part of the story it’s done on almost every channel

i think its because as a buisness big or small, you want to think of the future for your company and someday as it grows it will become a we , so to keep it professional, most buisnesses say "we" to already instill that in thier minds for the future because u never know how big your company will become

I include Jesus Christ in everything I do, plus I don’t want to take credit for the people actually printing and shipping the clothes 😂

thank you!! yes that's the plan

nice one!!

The production cost are the T-shirts. Every time I get an order I need to pay for the T-shirt to be printed and shipped. ☺️

@@shimmymorris1 Makes sense and was actually mentioned in another of your videos that I watched after this one. Thank you for the reply! Have a great evening.

You don’t need any money for print providers. You’ll only pay once you sell something. Having 300-500 is good to test designs and start getting some sales and seeing what works

@@shimmymorris1 Lovely stuff, thanks for the reply!

Thanks so much!!

Thank you!! I do have all those detailed videos in my Skool community. I would definitely recommend a T-shirt store if that’s something you want to do. It’s great fun!

Yes I plan to do that soon

Especially TikTok as you can’t do ads in the USA well I tried a long time ago maybe it’s different now..

thank you!! Good to have you here. We sell to the US. Much bigger market

Thank you that’s awesome so learning to market to the us going forward is still the best option then thanks ☺️

Yes I do. Customer service is really not something to worry about in my opinion.

you can although I'd recommend to do it in order

I’m an energetic person. I get excited about lots of things and typically bounce off the walls. It could be my ADD. Who knows. I’ve found that being positive and energetic like this gives off good vibes and good energy which helps inspire others.

I did say it in this video ☺️☺️

@@shimmymorris1 sorry I'll rewatch again.. ty

@@RAZNJ $600 in first month for ads. I didn’t hear how much it was after that, may have missed it.

I liked it based on testing and it was a good balance of quality and price

@@shimmymorris1 Thank you for your response!

It’s all relative to the sales. I didn’t just plonk 4k into ads on day one. It was a process. And sales came in to cover those ads

I wouldn’t worry about over saturation as you won’t be surrounded by competitors on Shopify. People will land on your store and only see your products. I wouldn’t cross niche for Shopify though as you’ll really struggle to come up with enough design ideas to populate your store

Yes but very hard. I’d suggest trying to get accepted to Amazon Merch on demand

Someone who loves making RU-vid videos… People get joy out of different things in life…

i've explained this on many previous videos, but no worries I'll explain again for you... there's a few reasons i don't share my store... 1. There are many many people who will copy it pixel for pixel, copy all my ads, take all my designs, etc., etc. Are you this person? I have no idea. I don't know you. Based on your comment, I get a bad vibe, but that doesn't matter. The point is, I don't need hundreds of thousands of people ripping off my store. I've made that mistake once before and I'll never make it again. That's point 1. 2. I'm not sure you've considered what hundreds of thousands of lookers (not buyers) would do to my metrics, my pixel, and all my data. I have retargeting ads, email campaigns, and Facebook audiences that are optimised for my store. Why on earth would I want hundreds of thousands of visitors who aren't my target market, all just to prove a point and please you...? 3. Lastly, I'm not bothered whether you believe me or not. That's totally on you. If you prefer to say SCAMM, then fine, but I would never ever risk my entire business just to prove my point. Quite frankly, anyone who expects to see the URL is probably looking to copy it and try to make a quick profit from my work. So yeah, in short, that's why I don't post the URL. This wasn't meant to come across as harsh, but bashing a video that is meant to be part of a series about building a store just because you can't get access to the site is pretty petty.

@@shimmymorris1 Thanks for your reply. You are doing a great job reinforcing that fact that this video is all about you and getting more views and added benefits only. Thanks. End of story.

@@HowToShopGreen what are you on about. please go and troll somewhere else... This video is hopefully motivating people to build their stores as it's showing even with a brand new store in 2024, its possible... seriously, what's your problem?

It’s definitely been a lot more fun!

Agree.

Thank you!!

I wish to join it but if there is ever a price drop I will probably stop by, depending on the price. I cannot fully commit yet as it is my first time venturing into it and as you can imagine it can be overwhelming, I want to start with Etsy and then with knowledge do a specific store on shopify but it is too much sometimes, as so many questions, copyright, niche markets etc, it always just puts me back to the start, I am hoping to join soon but I hope my questions do not become too much as I am starting from scratch

​@@shimmymorris1Wait... you told me you don't do training and classes? Whats this then?

@@Spensero what are you talking about? I have a paid community. Within that there’s lots of perks. One of them being classes… live calls, ongoing community discussions, discounts to tools, etc…

@@shimmymorris1 So.... Im right then? You keep saying you aren't doing the thing I innocently said you do by telling me you do it. Its very weird and makes it seem like you're hiding something.

I am planning a video on that topic 😉

@@shimmymorris1 Thank you very much!

For sure. Good idea!

​@@shimmymorris1 please

Thanks!!! We’re very happy with it

How much profit?

@@Onlylovelystuff that was the profit

@@shimmymorris1 Oh goodie!

Aw sorry to hear! What’s up… hopefully I can help. Join the free community and ask some questions. You’ll get a ton of insight

Thank you!!! I’m based in the UK as well and sell in the US. That’s what I recommend

I’d say 300-500 for ads is a good start

You need money to pay for design software like Canva, and for Shopify and Printify and pay for any extra art, money to pay for the items when someone buys them from your store, money for mockups because you can't sell anything without decent mockups. Then there's the ads like Google or Etsy. In other words, it takes money. .

Thank you!! Printify > SwiftPOD

Thank you!! I’ll get the mic sorted

You have to cover the taxes yourself in other words it has to be passed on to your customers and you have to keep track and report it properly depending on where you are etc. Unless you are selling through another vendor who does that for you

Yes… one has nothing to do with the other. There a bunch of Pod creators on RU-vid, there’s millions that aren’t. I do RU-vid because I love it. I love the creativity. The filming. All of it. I did RU-vid before pod, and I’ll do it after. Our POD Stores on Shopify makes more than my RU-vid or my Skool community. If you end up creating a POD store you can definitely scale that

​@@shimmymorris1 :) That is super helpful to know, its just something i've always been curious about. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Much respect to your work!

Well if you’re getting sales. That’s what’s important, so yea! Keep it going. Why not

Ye there’s too many of those videos out there!

Nice try mate! Successful sellers never reveal their stores. For obvious reasons.

Unfortunately the shop name isn’t public. It won’t ever be ☺️

So when buyers come to your shop to purchase. Do they not see the name of your shop?​@@shimmymorris1

@@shimmymorris1 Ok

@@shimmymorris1 why not?

T-shirts is way too saturated. Get better products

@@christopherburns2303What products do you think are better?

i have 275 listings and have 101 sales

No

Nope

i've spoken about this in many videos and many comments. I don't share my store for a few reasons. metrics, retargeting ads, people who steal designs, etc

No because the designs are still very on topic. We’ll sell our father’s day shirts throughout the year. Not just for fathers day

Did you even watch the video?

What about it?

most my audience is in america

Start with a niche. Then build a moodboard of successful designs in that niche. It’s obviously a lot more complicated that this video. This was just an update to my new store. Been making these once a month

I was all over the place when I first started, all my first listings I started with are deleted, I've deleted maybe atleast 1000 listings so far...it took me a long time to find my niche.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Bro he mentioned it like 20 times in the video ahahah

I included the provider costs. Tax will be calculated based on profit at the end of the year. I shall make a video when that time comes.

Can you do a video on VAT.... I am totally confused on this... if you go over £85k sales ( not profit) you are liable for around 20% tax? This is basically your profit although printify has collected around a third of this? Very confusing would love some clarification as no one appears to give info on this...it gets even more complicated as many sales are in the US I guess.

@@tobymcculloch4375 I think he only sells in the US so VAT does not apply. The US has sales tax, but I believe there are large exemptions.

awesome!! I'm so sorry, we can't do discounts as it wouldn't be fair for anyone who already signed up. In terms of monthly budget, it depends on how fast you want to grow. I would recommend around $1000 to get started. I'm not concerned about Etsy, Etsy isn't a viable platform if you want to build a business

i'm 4 months in... don't you worry about it. It's my target, and I hit my targets.

honestly, impossible to answer.. the best way is to try and you'll quickly see how much your audience want to buy

Lots of designs. Excellent well researched designs. Good ads. And 10 years of experience

I broke even in month 2. And was positive in month 3. I break it all down in this series. ☺️

Thanks!

That’s what I’ve done in The Print On Demand Hub

Other than a special event, when is the last time you spent 25$ on a t-shirt.....me ... never.....

yes, however, if the customer pays with paypal, you get the money instantly.

Thanks! Our community mainly. This Friday is the release of the FB ads training.
