Great stuff, Zen! Thanks for all of the info on getting into CF! Regarding inkscape, is there a way to make the color of something, like you changed the color of the butterfly, to a gradient? That butterfly would look cool with different gradient styles, like from different corners or sides, or even a radial gradient from the center. That could be a great bundle item. Thanks.
I love watching your editing and public domain videos. So many useful tips. I'm sure I'd figure it out but I found the part about product images and later on about thumbnails a bit quick for people who've never submitted to CF. People seem to have specific ways to make thumbnails so others can't just screenshot them. I haven't tried creating for CF so really don't know any more than you've just stated.
Would you please make a video about how you organize designs for each marketplace. One issue I have is keeping designs better organized. Naming, folders, marketplaces... I'm trying to find a good system.
I think CF is a volume game. I opened at the beginning of April and uploaded everyday and I am at 97 listings and made $13.77. It's not a lot yet but hopefully with time it will grow.
I have the all access subscription and was wondering if I can use the graphics I download to create something like cards and then list it to creative fabrics to sell?
Hey there - no, generally speaking, you can't purchase something on CF and then turn around and sell the same design on CF. You would need to substantially modify it (so that it essentially becomes a completely different piece of art).
Thanks for your knowledge sharing videos Zen, I want know one thing from you, Can I convert (vectordad, svgsilh) svg into Canva frames then sell on etsy.. Please help me with your answer.
When trying to open a shop its asking me to link to my designs or portfolio. I dont have another place just my files on the computer. How do I get past this to post my images or designs to sell? Thanks for all the great info on your channels
Yes and yes. You can just sign up with different email addresses (it gets a bit cumbersome but I do personally do this and it's not a big deal - you can still request any email address for your PayPal payout).
Is there anything special about creating thumbnails? All so new to me but loving your videos so far. I’ve been on the more labor intensive side of creating finished embroidery products along with other customs in HTV & sub. I have spent countless dollars on designs and have wanted to create more of my own and possibly become a designer. With tools like CF, that might just be possible :)
That's a great question. I personally try to use as many as possible (I am not lazy with the tags). I try to use short and long form. They offer 50 tags which is a lot so I would say the most important thing is to actually use like 25-50 tags. I hate this part because it is so boring but I make myself do it.
No not exactly. 50% of what the subscriber (customer) pays for the all-access subscription is kept by Creative Fabrica, and the other 50% is paid to designers. Of that 50% that is paid out, 10% is split over all graphics (regardless of downloads) and 40% is split over the downloads. So CF looks at total downloads, your designs that were downloaded and then prorates the 40% accordingly.
Pretty much, you get paid based on how many downloads you get from those subscribers. You get paid several ways. I've been on CF for I think 4yrs now and still haven't even hit $1k and I have over 500 listings. You make the most if someone purchases, you make less for the subscribers who DL it "free", and you make even less for just having shit on the site. I'm actually working to open a shop elsewhere cause I'm just kinda sick of CF tbh. I feel like their structure benefits the subscribers & CF more than the sellers. And I feel like the only way to really earn hella good on there is if you happen to luck up and have something go viral or if you get chosen by CF and they promote you.
@@craftystax From my understanding it's not all MY graphics... or HIS graphics... we don't make that from just our shit. It's from the entire pool of creators. That 40% is split up over downloads from every.single.CF.seller
It's clearly a human being lol, and I don't think it would be an issue even if he was to use an AI voice since he's still the one creating the content at the end of the day....people just use different mediums that suit them.
Yes absolutely - I get requests from people to make certain graphics using different programs, so most of the examples I use are just examples for learning.
Thanks Zen. You're the best ! Love your videos, and truly grateful!
Been looking for this . Thank you for sharing such a valuable information Sir🙏

Hello! Yes thumbnails are definitely important! Here is a video that hopefully helps! ruclips.net/video/VIr-74cwg9s/видео.html

That's a fantastic suggestion, let me see what I can do (thank you)!
Thank you for this valuable information! I will definitely look into this.

Did you grow now ?
And according to your comment
The more product you upload the more money you make ?
How many items do you recommend to have in your portfolio when trying to get approved?

Yes great question - I recommend a free site like Behance. It's easy and looks great.
Can you open more than one store and would you need to apply to Creative Fabrica each time?
Yes and yes. You can just sign up with different email addresses (it gets a bit cumbersome but I do personally do this and it's not a big deal - you can still request any email address for your PayPal payout).
Sir can I give my Zazzle store links for portfolio on creative fabrica

@@craftystax thank you so much!
Love your content, is there a best practice for tags in cf? Long tail, short tail, etc

@@craftystax Thank you
Both.
thanks. I from India 🙏. can you please suggest me some public domain. so that I can sell public domain books without any copyright issues. 🙏
Yes there are lots of public domain videos on my channel - here is one hopefully that helps! ruclips.net/video/q8cIPmomoSk/видео.html
Robotic voice 😮
As far as I know I'm a human!
@@craftystax submit your certificate

Sounds like AI voice over…
I don't know if that's a compliment but thank you? Maybe I really am a robot. I need to get my oil changed!

Nope mate it’s his voice. Sounds the same from years ago.
Creative fabrica does not accept designers!!!

you know you can do that even easier in otherer graphic programs-right??? That butterfly is pretty plain and simple. Whatever tho
Yes absolutely - I get requests from people to make certain graphics using different programs, so most of the examples I use are just examples for learning.
