    Your videos are a game changer, Alex! I am a semi retired graphic designer with 38 years experience, looking for a side hustle to keep me going through retirement and what I discovered in your videos is mind blowing. What is the saddest thing is that I didn't know about the power of Midjourney!!! I'm so freakin excited that retirement is now out of the window and I'm ready to go into a brand new adventure. Thanks a million Alex. You are well on your way to a million subscribers!

    If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life.

    • @LisaDonnel
      @LisaDonnel 11 месяцев назад

      The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional like I did. If you get the facts about saving and investing and follow through with an intelligent plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money.

    Good video - but, Spoonflower has been around for years - in fact they sort of used the “print on demand” model before it officially existed - they did customs on a high level at least 8 years ago, when I was in college. it was a known place to go look at or buy fabric and swatches for assignments…they aren’t any different really than a brick and mortar fabric store in any town 🤷🏾‍♂️..my point is they aren’t some people casually sitting in their living room ‘testing’ a fabric print on demand’ idea. They aren’t remotely new to doing custom work in the fabric design game - they were likely around before Printify.

    Thanks Alek! Great ideas. Quick tip from experience on the tile function in Midjourney. When upscaling using an AI upscaler, they often loose their seamlessness - just slightly by a few pixels - but enough to notice if you're tiling on a large scale like shower curtains or fabric. Best to check before it's considered production ready.

Does printify have wallpaper and can you use their pattern tool? As far as midjourney once you get an image -do you have to upscale each one and can we use Kittles background removal for images we upload? How do you do bundles such as clip art? If we create 40 images as you said and save each one individually how do we list all of the images as one bundle? Thanks so much!!

    The devil is in the details. If you compare the printify prices he shows on screen to the seller’s price you can only surmise they’re not using printify otherwise they’d be losing money on every sale. The POD industry has become so greedy & expensive that they now charge more per item than you can normally sell it for. And anyone who’s ever started a shopify store can attest to how much they also gouge you for. Using those platforms is literally working to make others rich not yourself. The fact that he doesn’t address this very obvious problem kinda disqualifies the whole video as “smart advice”. Good quality videos man, I respect the work you’re putting into them, but if you want to provide real business tips how about the techniques that allow you to be price-competitive in the digital and crafts marketplace? Cause Printify obviously ain’t it.

      I am curious if there is a ‘benefit’ to being that transparent…

    Can you do a video on things to be careful with on Etsy. I keep getting account suspended. I tried to sell "Beer" tshirt. Just shirts with funny beer sayings on them, and got a suspension notice, NO email saying why like they say they send. I opened another store and just tried those shirts and almost immediately suspended even though not breaking their ToS... What are reasons that they give suspensions??

    I may be stupid but I have a question, If someone orders a custom dog collar from my etsy shop,do I have to first get the design and then give it to printify or printify will just keep track on who's buying the product,and if someone buys it,printify will automatically get the custom name,add it to the design,and then ship it to the buyer

    @alekSheffy
    Found your videos and figured I would give it a shot. What site are you using for background removal and upscaling? I've tried several and the results are poor at best. Thanks!

    Hi Alek, do you need to create separate accounts (email, printify, etc.) for each Etsy store? TY - Angela
