Mandy, thank you for your information and inspiration. I was laid off in October and I didn’t find your channel until December. My shop went up at the end of December and I’ve been feverishly watching as much RUclips for insight and information as I can. I hope to one day join you in the $100k+ club. Good for you for taking control of your life and going after what something you are passionate about! Wishing you all the best in 2024!
Thank you so much, Mandy! Your calm, Zen and very informative information really resonates with me!! P.S. Your Niche Calendar is incredible! Thank you so much!
Wow, thank you so much for the calendar. Super helpful! Your videos are always so helpful and full of inspiration and helping us newbies to keep it realistic. Keep up the great work and know that it is absolutely appreciated!
So wonderful for sharing this content showing people that it is possible to start their own eCommerce print on demand shop. I'm looking for suppliers have innovation in product offerings.
I just found you last night, and binge-watched as many videos as I could before falling asleep. haha I love the level of granular detail you include in your videos. You earned your sub. Great content! My wife and I are struggling to come up with an overall theme for our store; the high-level. We are pretty creative with connecting topics, but trying to come up with the overarching theme has proven to be more challenging than it should be. We'll get there but we're open to any videos of yours you can suggest that might help us. I watched one of yours that went through sub-niches and micro-niches. Very helpful. Choosing that high-level theme though....huuu Another question. How do you decide when it is better to add a 2nd, 3rd store? I don't want to dilute our efforts, so I want to make sure we laser focus on the 1st store, but how do you know when it is time to create subsequent stores?
Hi Mandy, im one of your subscribers. Which personalized application for my etsy/Shopify. Using Printify for my POD that you recommend to use to add personalization such as Name and Dates 🌟
Thank you for the helpful information! Do you have any tips to make sure we aren't getting in trouble for copyright infringement? Is it safe to use anything on Canva for print on demand?
You have the book "Atomic Habits" in your background. I have an identical copy i got from Walmart for, like, 5 bucks. I haven't read it yet. Have you? What do you think about it?
Actually it’s not considered an active trademark. The application is showing as pending and currently has a suspension notice, which means it is not an approved trademark and can be used 😊
@@studiomdesignsco my understanding was that even if is in process it was best not to use it lol so if it has a suspension on it we can use? Does that mean that it might not get approved? Thanks Mandy ☺️
@almagjim It can vary, but this one is clearly showing as pending/suspended. Trademark applications get rejected and abandoned all the time. There’s no way to predict it, but until it’s completely live and active it’s fair use 😊
Thank you for this wonderful information. You say you are the owner of multiple 6 figure business. Would you mind elaborating? Do you have videos on these, as well?
I have a recent video that talks about the various businesses I have run - ruclips.net/video/jPZ4ru2sSX0/видео.html. I currently run a 6 figure handmade business full-time and my POD business on the side is also 6 figures 😊
Yes! See if this one works (they change it up every once in awhile, so thanks for the heads up on it!). www.referyourchasecard.com/21p/P40BSDHSDW On a side note I Iove the card, particularly for POD - I use their cashback reward option and I’ve literally gotten thousands back 🤓
It refers to placing a link for one of your listings into another listing (to encourage customers to visit a related item that they might not otherwise see). For example: “if you like this shirt, check out the matching mug __[link]__” 😊
@@studiomdesignsco Thank you for answering me xo. I already do that in some. I didn't know the phrase. PS I love your tutorials, they are helping me up my designs, master the quick multi page mockup and video downloads, learned how to put a design in a frame, etc. I'm getting better at design which will help my pod shop, someday, lol.
Hi Mandy! I am a mini sub on your website and I tried to get the size chart and color cards for the bella shirts and even tho I had my canva open... ikeep getting a error page. If u have time can u please let me know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks dear! Thanks so much for the resources also! ❤
Canva templates can be a little temperamental at times - log in to your Canva account in your default browser first (not the app) and then try the links again. If that doesn’t work feel free to email me at mandy@studiomdesignsco.com and I’ll troubleshoot it with you 😊
Is it normal for sales to just STOP overnight? Does Etsy algorithm change or cycle? For months I've had $300-$500+ days. I felt like I was finally "making it" in this space. Week before last, amazing sales--best ever. Then, last Wednesday it just stopped. Sales are next to nothing--I'm lucky to sell $40 a day. Views are normal but barely favorites or sales. No trademark issues, etc/deactivated listings, etc. I always do day-long daily sales so didn't change any of that. Good reviews coming in for past orders. SO CONFUSED. I also have a broad range of successful niches and they all stopped (so it's not like it was just wedding and maybe wedding season slowed or competition increased overnight in one niche--it's many different niches--all my good sellers just stopped selling).
That can happen (particularly this time of year), sales fluctuate all the time throughout the year. They’ll likely be back! Focus on what you can control, like continuing to research and produce solid listings. It sounds like you’re on the right track 😊
@@studiomdesignscothanks so much for your reply, Mandy. I really appreciate it. It’s hard to feel good when sales just stop. I get so anxious like it’s all going to end for good. Praying that it picks up again for me. I’m still hustling and creating new listings ❤
Thank you Mandy! Do you do shop critiques? I want to ask you a question but don’t want to ask it here. Do you have an instagram or something so I can ask you? Thank you
Good morning everyone! Watching secretly (again) from work. Gotta make this work so I can quit my job!!!😂
I love the secret watch club! 😂💜

Cheering you on in your POD journey!! 💜
Thanks for sharing! I create digital products on Etsy but I do enjoy POD videos as well 😅

Omg Mandy, you heard me, I was like this yesterday, my brain simply didn’t want to cooperate with me, 🤣😂 Thank you ❤
So wonderful for sharing this content showing people that it is possible to start their own eCommerce print on demand shop. I'm looking for suppliers have innovation in product offerings.
Thanks Mandy! You are THE BEST!! Love your content. ✨

Watched this one twice. Thanks Mandy
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing these tips, Mandy.
Good afternoon from South Africa. Wonderful video thank you. I watch all of them as im a newbe to Etsy..

Thank you for the freebie! Your tips are very helpful.
I love your background, so aesthetic (coming from a video editor) 😉
Thank you for the freebie and other tips Mandy ❤

Super helpful, as always. ❤
FABULOUS suggestions
Than you so much Mandy 🌼
You’re welcome! ☺️
Such great info!!! Thank you !!!!! ❤
Was that canva that u make your inspiration board with or something else?
Thank you for the helpful information! Do you have any tips to make sure we aren't getting in trouble for copyright infringement? Is it safe to use anything on Canva for print on demand?
Wondering if your membership would be applicable for Zazzle shop owners.
You have the book "Atomic Habits" in your background. I have an identical copy i got from Walmart for, like, 5 bucks. I haven't read it yet. Have you? What do you think about it?
Thank you Mandy! Great information ❤🎉
To ALL THE PHRASE MOST LIKELY TO IS TRADEMARKED. Be careful 😊
Never mind, it seems like we can use it 😅

@@studiomdesignsco thanks 😊 should I delete my message now then? Lol 😆
@almagjim Nah it’s ok, it’s a great question and probably helpful for others too! 😊

Hi Mandy! Do you have another link for the Chase business card? I've been looking for one to use for my business but your link isn't working!
Yes! See if this one works (they change it up every once in awhile, so thanks for the heads up on it!).

What is "back link" a design? You mentioned in your video regarding similar items in my shop.
It refers to placing a link for one of your listings into another listing (to encourage customers to visit a related item that they might not otherwise see). For example: “if you like this shirt, check out the matching mug __[link]__” 😊
