**Wow, this video is packed with detailed info! It almost feels like going back to school with a teacher explaining everything clearly. Just listen, learn, and do! I especially appreciate that you avoid clickbait titles and sales pitches. Nowadays, it's refreshing to find someone like you who genuinely shares knowledge without hidden agendas. Your viewers know the difference between real value and empty promises. This video saved me tons of research time. What you said resonates deeply - I often find myself rewinding and connecting the dots in your longer videos. The way you speak from the heart and spark ideas is a powerful combination. An hour with you feels like getting more than just $1,000/day worth of insights. You may not use catchy titles, but the value you deliver is truly priceless! Keep inspiring us with your genuine knowledge and passion! **
Not an active user of YT, but i opened my own store on FW thanks to you. I think you are so genuine and detailed about everything. Thank you very much for all your time and work! You inspired me a lot! Wish you all the best in life! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Mey! This video was brilliant. I created two stores after your first video about Fourthwall, but haven't set them up yet. Glad I watched this video first. It was a big help. Can't wait to get started. Oh, and I made a mistake with the URL name for my first store and e-maile FW to get help. They responded within 24 hours and changed it straight away. Great service!
YT is saturated with POD lies and framing this work as get-rich-quick passive income opportunities, so I’d love a video exposing those misconceptions. You’re one of the few that keeps it real. Thank you as always!
Thanks for this video! I was at work when you came live, but I'm home and watching it now. I figured out Fourthwall by playing with the settings. I'm still learning to use it, but I'm having fun doing it. I had a question about digital downloads and contacted their support. They responded within 24 hours and it was so nice to have an answer, unlike Etsy. I usually bring my own traffic to Etsy, so I'm excited to start marketing my store. Wish me luck!
The next thing, apart from an SEO plugin, is another level on the menus. That would make me so happy. So from the menu I want to choose T-Shirt/dogs/dachshund,bulldog,German shepherd etc.
Totes off topic, but every vid I watch I'm like "Damn! her haircolor looks so great in blue. It really matches her skin tone. No wait, I like it better green, no wait, purple, no BLONDE it's the best BLONDe. Now I'm loving it dark!" lol. You've got a great skin tone that just looks badass with any hair color. Love it!
Well, I am happy to see Blonde made your list, cause now I'm blonde LOL (I usually go blonde for any color, but now it will stay blonde cause I wanna go to a spa with hot pools and then to Greece- so I need to make sure I don't "shed" color LOL ) and thanks, made my day srsly
Yup ! and for men who ain't used to it- a scare of a lifetime.. many years ago I had my hair dyed red, went into the shower, my boyfriend back them came home, entered the bathroom to say hello and screamed- he thought I was bleeding out poor thing LOL
Hello Mey, can you please answer a question for me? I have seen so many tutorial videos about FW and over 95% of them had no store at all but only a REF link to FW. This makes me a bit nervous and actually shows me that something can't be right, otherwise everyone who makes a tutorial for it and rates it positively would also have a store. I would appreciate an answer. Best regards Chris (Translated with DeepL)
Not sure how I can help with that, I have not seen tutorials on FW online much, and can't reply about videos I haven't seen. I have several FW shops, some I am still considering if I wanna take that niche on more srsly, and 1 that has been active since December. I also know plenty of online creators with stores on FW, I actually learned about them from watching CC Suarez's channel, cause she has a shop with them. I would love to answer anything that I can, but not sure what the question was...
@@MeyTribe Wow, you are super fast at replying to comments. Thank you :) I also meant this video here. I wonder why you don't offer a store or products here under the video if Fouthwall is so good? Many who create videos through Fourthwall also don't have a store or offers in the video description. I was wondering if it had been deleted in the meantime because something was wrong. I hope I have expressed myself a little better with this comment.
@@C4D4U I am actually very slow at commenting back, you just caught me at the exact time I was reacting back LOL As for me offering POD products to my viewers... hmmm... why would I ? I mean, my viewers are people who make their own items. In terms of sharing my shops- I have. I have mentioned them in multiple videos, in the video of making my links page, and they are still visible on my IG link in bio page. I will not add these here cause they are now in topics matching the topic of my channel.
@@MeyTribe Cool, I'm glad I caught the right time. Thank you for the information and your time. I'm still offering my products via TeeSpring but it's not working at all and there are also extreme differences in the number of views between RUclips Analytics and Teespring (in terms of "product" clicks). That's why I wanted to try out a different provider. If there is nothing negative to report, then I will try my luck in the next few days. Thanks again and have a fantastic day Chris
@@C4D4UThe reason most You Tubers who have stores do not list them is pretty obvious (In my opinion), is because many lazy people will just copy everything they have, and dilute their brand. I’ve seen this happen via other channels and it is sad that this happens to the You Tuber’s who have shops and give us all this helpful info for free.
I haven't had a chance to watch the whole video yet, but do you know if they'll add more products available on Printful, like the jigsaw puzzle? Thank you ❤
From my understanding - yes and no. They are adding more Printful items all the time, but they don't add "regional" items, or items that ONLY ship to the USA. Their shop builder was designed for creators, and most of them just upload merch and have no previous POD experience- which created a flood of support tickets for any product that only ships TO the USA as customers didn't understand why they can't checkout. For that reason, to my understanding, they are not gonna have the puzzles, and other items that only ship TO the US.
If I understood correctly, I can use a subdomain from my existing domain? How does that work? Do I just makeup a subdomain or do I have to set it up with my domain host? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I’ve literally never done this before.
Do you have to use Printful for printing? is there a way to customize your site into categories (for example, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.)? Can you have more than one store? I went to the Fourthwall site and could not find a link to existing creators' sites.
Fourthwall has built in products from multiple suppliers, not just Printful. But yeah- you can only sell from their existing integrated catalog. You can def customize the categories for the products, it's called collections. There was a Fourhtwall full tutorial on Patreon that will be uploaded to this channel in December. And yes, having more than one store is a yes- process is mentioned in the video. As for creator's sites... why would you find them ? Fourthwall is a shop builder, like Shopify. Shopify isn't a marketplace, you can't go there and see every seller using their shop builder...
is it just me having a issue with fourthwall and RUclips Merch Shelf. where My fourthwall products would only show 1 design but in literally all Sizes and colors, but wouldn't show you different designs.. and also says on my RUclips Shelf, 40 products not approved and needs your attention. but i HAVE no clue how to connect it to Google merchant to get approved or see what the issue is to Resolve it, thus im rather going to make a Spreadshop and connect that to my RUclips Merch shelf, but ill still continue building my fourthwall store.
Thanks for the video, it was great. I tried to register, but it only allows if I have a community and public social accounts. I'm just getting started in the pod business, and I don't have anything yet. I'm learning a lot from your videos (thank you very much!!! Please keep on making them (and please let me in your FB group :) ). Is it not possible to register for those who are completely new to the business?
Hey, as mentioned in the video- there are no requirements to register. Just click on "other" from the options of socials- and you'll be signing in a new shop.
You can try typing in any URL you have even for a shop on another platform a pinterest link maybe? or even an Instagram without that many followers@@ilco2012
It asked for platform but didn't ask re: number of followers, so perhaps using whatever account you currently have will work, even if it's just a personal account at this time. Worth a try.
So glad I just found you on RUclips. Thanks for an extraordinary video and a fabulous POD resource. I joined through your link. Your depth and range of knowledge is amazing. So is your clear and concise presentation style. Just as you feel, I don't like paying suppliers into production and getting paid through another source, like AwkwardStyles. I prefer getting a sales commission on sales, Like Merch. Incidentally, MozelTov on your success!
I think it would be valuable to explain sales tax collection and remittance policies when comparing all the platforms because for many of this, having to report and forward sales taxes is enough to keep us away. I live in a corrupt state that makes small business like this a living hell and I will never collect sales tax for them again. Finally I can offer digital downloads because forthwall handles the sales taxes.
You mean to explain it for the US ? Again, it would be useful, yes, but as someone who's not an accountant and is a public figure- I can't really do that. Especially when I know NOTHING about sales tax in countries I haven't had a business in... Sorry love. But it's nice you found Fourthwall does that for you. I can say, as a personal thing, that I see some people paying the sales tax on my payhip store, and I never had to pay that sales tax myself with my specific business type in Israel. (which someone with a different business type- might have to pay)
Hey dear i have opened fourthwall shop. I have one doubt if customer has any query on products , they will reach to me or directed to fourthwall customer service team. As under my subdomain i cannot find any chat or message option which usually we get on Etsy. Please reply
Although Stripe is available in Brazil, this payout integration is not working. Support says they "don't have further information about it" and suggests to connect PayPal, which I’m trying to avoid due to its extremely high fees in Brazil.
@MeyTribe your video was a great assistance already, thanks. It probably has something to do with Stripe vs Brazil regulations, as you suggested. I just think this is an issue Fourthwall support should at least be aware of, since it occurs on its end. It's so close to be overall better than all the other platforms I've tested (ebay, NuvemShop, Shopify, Ecwid, Gumroad and Etsy)... I really hope Fourthwall stands out.
I don't know why but I've got 30$ for test orders, btw I would you ask if you have any info about GDPR (I've noticed your store doesn't use any consent), I've also added Facebook pixel but I've disabled personalized cookies just to be sure
I spoke about it in other videos, it's really hard for me to explain the years of wix in a comment, I once made a 1 hour lecture on the topic. I once tried answering that question and it took me 3 hours to type and not enough space on RUclips. Perhaps I will make a video about them later on in the year, but it's not currently in the pipeline. Sorry, I just physically can't explain the entire history of every messy thing Wix have done in a decade... I can say this though- Wix is a locked system, every website you design there can only exist on Wix. VS wordpress, which is open source. Shopify, fourthwall, payhip are also closed environments, but they, in my opinion, give you more than wix. If wix gives you everything you need - go with them :) it can be a nice website if you need just a static website and don't mind all the work for a single new page.
There's a contact page on meytribe.com However, I don't speak French, as mentioned in the chat, I only know very little words. Used Gogle translate for this comment even, and if you write a longer text- Google translate would make that message super confusing... So feel free to send me a contact request email in English.
Shopify has 2weeks delivery including shipping costs. Works for evergreens but not on emerging trends as the trends are one day/week phenomenons. And u allready missed the tide when the product arives. Is 4wall the same?
Shopify is a shop builder It doesn’t have delivery times If you sell a printable on Shopify - it arrives immediately If you sell a necklace you made and use overnight shipping - it will arrive overnight. The service you use to create and ship your items will determine the shipping time - not the technology of the shop builder.

Did you create 2 stores on the one account? or did you have to create a new account?
I've created two stores on the one account to make it easier to manage.@@lyndellmaree
I really want Fourthwall to have planners and related products as that's where my first niche falls.
Me too !!
I hope awksty and fourthwall would integrate !!
Print on Demand Lies! Sign me up!
That would be a great video Mey.
YT is saturated with POD lies and framing this work as get-rich-quick passive income opportunities, so I’d love a video exposing those misconceptions. You’re one of the few that keeps it real. Thank you as always!
The passive part it’s just a lie. You need to invest so much time in actually building a community, and it’s so hard when you are at the beginning.
Thanks for this video! I was at work when you came live, but I'm home and watching it now. I figured out Fourthwall by playing with the settings. I'm still learning to use it, but I'm having fun doing it.

Thanks, Mey for another informative video!!! Yes, I would definitely watch a video about "print on demand lies" Thanks for sharing

Thanx Mey! Just created my account on Fourthwall on the last day of 2023. 😂
I wish you a very happy New Year! 💖
I’m not sure if you covered this, but for the POD products, how is the packaging? Do they include a thank you card?

Can I connect Fourth Wall with the Ecwid store?
I'm a bit confused as to why you'd wanna do that... Why connect a shop builder to another shop builder? FW is not a supplier.
I have a domain from 123 Reg and it did not work with the transfer as yours did. It was a nightmare to transfer all the stuff over to fourthwall.
Do fourthwall shop rank organically on Google?
I suppose like other sites, you just need to submit the url once. I've not extensively verified seo tags but social sharing stuff does work
could you please tell more why you hate WIX? I was going to make a website there

do you recommend forthwall as a platform for beginners creators that don't have audience yet
when should someone make a shop ??
Yes and no, I answered that in the video, not sure how to transcript that entire answer into a comment...
Does Fourthwall allow personalisation of products?
Yes and no. I explained the way to create them in this video... basically creating a non-POD item.
