For simple text automating scaling I have learned to use Canva Pro. It has a "Batch" tool that works exactly like Ryan's POD Automate. I have tried other automation for this, but the same issue happens and those cost $$$, I already have Canva, so no additional $$ needed. I would usually need to resize the text, but I still find it faster then doing each one completely manually.
Thanks Juna. I have been batching for some time now. It really makes things go easier. Most of my designs are on Zazzle, so I tend to batch by product. I like your other 6 suggestions. I am going to try using templates, especially Kittl. Templates and batching together will really help the process. Thanks again.
For #7 Get Help... if you don't want to hire someone to do a design because you are a designer yourself, you can hire someone to do the boring bit of scaling a design and uploading. I pay a friend and my teenage son to help with scaling and uploading because those are the boring parts of the job I hate doing and they're happy to earn some extra money.
Thanks, Juna. Good tips, as always! Wondering if you might do a video on the new version of Affinity Designer and how the new features could help us designing for POD.
Thanks for a great video! I remember now that automated also in canva. It watched a video about doing business cards in a patch. Just data is the excel and have a template already to import into canva template
I've been using Redbubble doing Add new work except I would do: copy of an existence work.I used the same pixel measurements and make several copies of all my keywords in my title Be Blessed and thanking of many different designs for Blessed and making each one completely different but put it in the copy of existence work and you don't have to move things around on each item like t-shirts coffee cups it all is placed exactly like how you set the first design. And I have discovered that I can make so many more designs copies doing this.maybe this might help somebody.
Great info as always. As a newbie it's sometimes hard to imagine how long it would take to be on as many sites as you are. I know this is hard to answer, but how long should it realistically take to make 10,000 a month from doing this? And do you recommend being on all those sites(I know each one has it's pros and cons from watching some of your videos) 🙏🏿
Glad it was helpful! Realistically it may take you 3-4 years or more depending how fast you can get your uploads ...... I recommend doing one at a time and focusing one for a good 3-6 months to get to know the POD first... each one is different.... after a while you should find the one that makes you the most profit... focus more of your time on that one.
Juna would u please do more videos not so much on design but customer service stuff, returns, complaint, out of stock, emailing with customers and how in deal you deal with these? Thank u!
Honestly that doesn't happen if you are on the PODs I am on... It's one of the reasons I stopped Etsy... With Amazon there is no customer service involved, no need to email customers, you don't even have to deal with it.
I'm green when it comes to POD and designing but I have started designing in batches. My question is do you use different descriptions for each one or describe a batch at once. I also will be using some of your methods do you on your other channels.
Thanks for this information. I'm a newbie in the market, so am in the painful process of learning this stuff. What platforms would you recommend to sell PODs? So far, I've opened a store only on Etsy, but I have read stories of stores closed for no reason. After I made three designs in Redbubble, they closed my account without giving me a specific reason. They said that one of my designs didn't comply with the rules, and that's it. After I asked why, they just ignored me. I'm glad it was at the beginning of my enterprise.
Everyone will have their favorites.... for me my top 3 are Amazon, TeePublic and RedBubble.... I do love Threadless too just for the creativity side.... I stopped using Etsy.
Hello. Can you list all pod websites I can join? Recommend me only free to use websites. Not like etsy where I have to pay for running a store. I currently work on Zazzle and Redbubble. Thanks....
Thank you for the great info Juna. As always great tips. I have a question, I clicked the link to request an invite to Merch by Amazon last week and it directed me to log in to my Amazon account this is what I got. "We appreciate your interest, but your account request has been declined". I looked forward to a video about the new version of Affinity Designer. Thank you
Detour Shirts Juna ? when uploading 100 designs. is there a automated way of uploading the design, the title, description and tags to multiple pods ? etc.
Great video! The audience traffic has not been showing any activity for december is redbubble dashboard and i don't know why. I have also got a "no hits" notification in my google analytics related to redbubble although I got a couple of favorites and a sale which means that some people visited my shop. Any advice?
Good question! It sounds like a bug... You should be getting this time of year... keep uploading good designs and sharing your products on social media
I'm tier 30,000 and have 6600 US uploads available daily. I use Flying Upload to upload large batches of designs. Flying upload isn't fast enough to upload that many US designs in a 24 hour period. I only upload to US market and let Amazon auto upload the foreign markets so I avoid unnecessary rejections. Do you have any suggestions for filling all my US slots daily?
There are much better and cheaper programs than flying upload. Don't forget if you use it for rebubble and other sites like that the site will ban you. Not only do they close down your store but you as a person are banned for life. Plus flyingupload will take 600.00 from your account every year even when you discontinue and ask not to use them anymore. They ban you from getting on their site so they can keep charging you. I had to close down my paypal and bank account because they stole from me 2 years in a row. That is why all the youtubers don't promote them anymore. MUCH MUCH better and easier programs out there that won't steal from you.
On a good day I can make 100 if I use the scaled design approach..... If they are NOT scaled I could probably do 1 every 30 minutes to 1 hour.... so about 20 or so.
@@DetourShirts I use Canva Automate Maker for design automation as I am using Canva for designs. I use Lazymerch for upload automation. Both are simple to use. I tried other options as well but I found those easy for me.
I can get over why people can generate 60 designs a day, as 'advanced' graphic designer.. that's kind of grind is frustrating. Or just because of me, lack of patience
I'm (still) in Tier 500 and I'm waiting for Amazon stuff to upgrade me to Tier 1000 when they believe that I deserve it! I don't have serious issues with the designs, my problem is to find good keywords to make my listing and to have a chance of a sale. That's the "pain" for me...
@@DetourShirtsI know this my dear friend, but I'm seeking a free fast, and effective way to find some good and basic keywords for my listings. That's the issue! :)

Oh wow, I have to look that up, I never heard of that "batch" function. Maybe, Juna has a video about it.
I don't have a video about this but I'm excited to try it... sounds like something that would help

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing your experience about batching... hope the templates help
You have gave me some great ideas for my amazing fashion I'm working on right now thanks a bunch!
You are so welcome!

Great suggestion! I'm working on it
I would also like to get some tutorial/tips for shirt design with affinity too!
Great, Practical, 'Just in Time' Information Juna - Many Thanks, again for your Insight, and Well Traveled Professionalism, Mate! Brad Holmes.

always comes with helpful videos, thanks.
Glad to hear that! Happy I could help

I agree! I started redbubble 3 months ago and had some sales, but I dont feel prepared for returns etc when they come...
I think Juna mainly does Amazon Merch, Redbubble & Teepublic - very little to no customer service required on those platforms.
@Detourshirts uses platforms that you don't have the deal with customers directly.
Honestly that doesn't happen if you are on the PODs I am on... It's one of the reasons I stopped Etsy... With Amazon there is no customer service involved, no need to email customers, you don't even have to deal with it.
Thank you kindly all. I'm hearing the horror stories of etsy just closing shops for no reason too.. Thank much for saving me time too
I'm green when it comes to POD and designing but I have started designing in batches. My question is do you use different descriptions for each one or describe a batch at once. I also will be using some of your methods do you on your other channels.
Yes and yes.... If the designs are different I change the titles and description to match each design

Sir I have a question...
Can we sell same design on different platforms??
Please answer...
Yes you can
Detour Shirts Juna ? when uploading 100 designs. is there a automated way of uploading the design, the title, description and tags to multiple pods ? etc.
I think there may be a few apps out there.... I haven't used them but I believe Merch Titans has something and heard of flying upload too.
@@DetourShirts Juna make a video on it.
the simple designs like geometric are easy to make but hard to find the keywords for them to be found in search results
This is true
Great video! The audience traffic has not been showing any activity for december is redbubble dashboard and i don't know why. I have also got a "no hits" notification in my google analytics related to redbubble although I got a couple of favorites and a sale which means that some people visited my shop. Any advice?

@@DetourShirts got it! Just making sure there is nothing wrong on my end. So is it going to work itself out?
I make scalable designs with photoshop variables 😉
That's awesome!
no issue using the canva pro assets in commercial?
As long as you use multiple assets together to make something completely different
I'm confused about Canva..can we use their graphics for POD? Do we need to pay for them?
You can use them but only if you mash things together... you can not use one design on it's own... I have a bunch of tutorials on my channel

I wish I did... sounds like you are doing it pretty fast.... I'm going to look into it though.... maybe Ryan or Cameron has figured it out already

how many unique designs per day can you make, juna?
On a good day I can make 100 if I use the scaled design approach..... If they are NOT scaled I could probably do 1 every 30 minutes to 1 hour.... so about 20 or so.
I use design automation and upload automation
Nice... you may have to show us how it's done.... what app do you use?

Hey Juna hope you are doing well..can you help me out for teespring..take care
I can try but I'm not doing very well on TeeSpring at the moment... when I figure it out I'll do a video
Blessings ❣️
That's a good one... thanks for sharing
I need to find a way to speed up my upload process. Always the worst part
Yup..... Probably the hardest part for me too
Are going to try any knees was to upload faster? I don’t trust automation
Body view my designs on Zazzle 😂😂😂 what can I do?
I think a body view is fine
I mean nobody views
