One of the things I like about your videos is you're not obnoxiously obsessed with profit. You care about product quality and customer service, and those things matter. Yes, we want to make money, but offering good service and good products is the best long term financial plan.
Free shipping for orders at your desired average order value. Offer discounts at 2 items, & 3 items. Offer “insured & priority processing at 3.50” instead of 2 dollars Should work out just fine. And then make the sweatshirts entirely new listings, not drop down options on the shirts. I’m sure having better mockups would probably work better too
Great Content, Shimmy! Can you do a video on some of those RU-vid print on demand folks that try and have you buy their program that states reselling the exact same thing they supposedly did to make tons of money? Because I just feel something isn't right with that and they are taking people's hard earned money to benefit them and not the buyer's trying to learn how to have a successful print on demand business and not setting us up for failure!
I appreciate this insight into starting a new brand. I like how you care about your products. It is however discouraging that printify and Facebook are making bank from all your hard work. I look forward to see how March did for you.
Your conversion rate is too low, Try to run video ad of winning t-shirt make a real video of tshirt so that your conversion rate will increase, People love to see real tshirt video instead of mockup. I would love to buy by seeing real video of tshirt instead of just mockup
Hey Shimmy, I'm curious if the lack of hoodie sales is because we're heading into the warmer months and people are looking for warmer clothes? Do you think that hoodie sales would be better if you offered them in the late-summer/early-fall for winter? Good video! Great info.
Hi Shimmy could you please make a video about fb ads? I found the site a bit overwhelming, and I still don't understand if I need to create Facebook pages
Hi, great video! I've subscribed today 😊 Do you think one could use the same tactics that you've used to sell cheaper products like magnets, stickers and cards? (Mugs?) Also, do you recommend selling those products in general? Can it turn into a success POD business? Should I sell in singles or in bundles to make every sell higher value? Thank you! Sapir
Thank you!! Appreciate the support. The profit margins with those products will be very low so running outside traffic might be too difficult to make it viable
Is it possible to just put pictures of your shirts with a link to your store on tik Tok without paying for an ad and can you make any money doing that?
Good and understood. But why you don’t share your store link and the screen !?? Or is this a new way to earn money making people fool and making audience 😊
I don't share the store link because many many people will copy my store exactly, they will copy all my designs, they will find my ads on Facebook and copy those too... this has happened before so I won't ever be sharing this store until it's sold. The last time it happened it cost us our entire business and we lost hundreds of thousands of pounds, so ye... never gna make that mistake again. I'm not really bothered if people believe me... I'm going through the analytics of my Shopify account, i wouldn't even know how to fake that. You can still learn from this without having to know my store
I'm assuming you also sell to the markets outside of your country. I've been watching your videos regularly but never seen one regarding how you handle customer's return requests. No, I am NOT talking about the return request when they receive incorrect orders or defective products as I know the local print providers will take care of those. What I am talking about is the type of return request that the buyers "just" want to return because they or the gift receivers "just" don't like it for whatever reason. So, how do you handle customer's return requests for your stores on Shopify, Etsy, Amazon, especially they are not even in the same country as you? Again, I'm not talking about returns due to incorrect orders or defective goods, thank you!
@@shimmymorris1 So your official store policy is accepting buyer's remorse return, right? What are the written return policies of your stores on Shopify, Etsy and Amazon? There are tons of other youtubers who talk about how successful they are in selling POD from their own online shops, but almost none of them EVER talks about their return policies and how they handle return requests, either domestically or internationally. It is like they are intentionally avoiding this topic. Hopefully, you are MORE honest and transparent than they are, thank you in advance!
I'm wondering the same. That, on top of advertising costs. 50% of his revenue was in Advertisting. It doesn't seem substainable. Maybe it is? But I can't wrap my brain around that. And I've never clicked on a FB ad in my life.
My cpc is nowhere near $1. I’ll make another video going into that for sure. My margin is tiny at the moment as it’s so knew and I’m so reliant on ads. However I got quite a few repeat customers which helped and my main ad had hundreds of shares which helps too. If it stayed like this long term I don’t think it would be sustainable, but it’s still early days and now it’s time to scale
How do you make Tiktok ads. I assume you only have a picture, a mockup of a model with your tshirt so it is not a video. So how can you change it into a Tiktok ad to make it look interesting?
You actually broke even if you lost $600 your first month and earned $600 your second month. For me personally to make over 5K in sales and only profit $600 bucks doesn’t really get me excited & you had to spend 2K on ads. To anyone reading this do you think it’s worth it?? 🤔
Yes in total, but it’s a growth curve. I’m now profitable with this brand new store which is great. I’m not sure what anyone is expecting… to start a brand new business and jump to 5k in profit in month 1 or 2… that’s an unrealistic pipe dream. I hope people see and understand this is a realistic achievement with a print on demand business. Over time it’ll get bigger and bigger. 5k rev will turn into 10 then 20 then 30. Profit margins will increase and the store builds and gets reviews. Usually these stores make around a 30% margin which is more than enough in my opinion. But I hear your points
Hey Shimmy , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos which visually appeal to audience and would increase average view duration and will also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will overall help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?
@@ahsanmaaz6677 no, they're not the same. You are asking which is best. I am telling you, there is no best. If you want to build a big scalable viable business then shopify with ads. If you want to make a tiny bit of money then redbubble, if you want free traffic and are happy to risk getting banned, then go with etsy. there's so many variables to your questions. It's not a simple yes or no
$30 a t-shirt? I'm underselling - well, I will be when I launch 😂 Re sending folks to a collection page, not a product page, I assume you send them to a *small* collection page, not the entire t-shirt collection?
It’s my entire collection. Theres 120 designs on it. Sounds counterproductive and I thought so too but because it’s all in the same niche it promotes multiple purchases a lot. $30 is for the 4XL… but ye, charge more if you can
