I started 2 redbubble shops about 2 months ago after watching one of your videos and so far I have sold over 100 products all for about 2 days worth of creating designs! Never wouldve done it if I wasn't subscribed to Wholesale Ted
PRINTIFY IS SH*T!!! I have orders that I now have to refund of customers who ordered back in NOVEMBER and are still waiting OR was sent the wrong items!! 😣😭 Printful actually sent all orders out ON TIME!!!

Printful is great. Based on the comments here, I really should have reviewed Printful, so I regret not doing that. I didn't include them because I thought the video was too long already. That was my mistake. Printful is fantastic, it's incredibly consistent with quality and they have so many items, it is my #1 favorite provider, but they are more expensive, so you know, pros and cons!
Hey everyone. Shane here from South Africa. My 14 year old son wanted a side hustle so after watching this video, I helped him setup his Bubble Acc. Wow. That boy has sold over 200 products in only 2 months. So proud. He does all the designs himself and setup a fb page as well as other social media accounts to help on his marketing. Wow wow wow wow
I've had pretty poor experiences with quality on print on demand sites. Washed out colors, not sharp and off center items. However, they are GREAT for ordering samples at low cost.
Thank you for being the only RUclipsr who doesn't say MY WAY IS THE ONLY WAY. I've been so confused about the different sales avenues and this cleared much of that up. Now I know I'll start with Redbubble just to get started and then grow as I learn to do more.
I’ve been to webinars and have watched too many videos to count looking for answers. You have given more info than all of them in a 20 something minute video. Thank you❤️
This was really helpful! I was drawn to Teespring because of the youtube creator integrations, where you can advertise your store directly to subscribers below each video. However, knowing redbubble does in-house advertising and printful provides the best quality, does give me options if I decide to branch out in the future and create more stores!
19:39 Absolutely correct. In fact Teespring has now rebranded as Spring and pivoted their business model to cater directly to "Creators", aka any entity with a sizable social media following. This channel ought to do a video on that tbh. The ONLY game in town for just starting out if you have no money OR social media clout is now Redbubble--they have won the war. So start there, save up your, and eventually move on to your own private website.
What would have been more appropriate for comparing the different T-shirts from the various suppliers would have been including the T-shirt manufacturer and fabric composition. These affect the print quality immensely! But overall, great video. I’ll be taking a look at Printify.
I wish I had understood TeeSprings marketing before I spend the time to set up a shop on there. Also I love Printify! I’ve had great results with The Dream Junction - they’re quick, the packaging is nice, the shirts come folded neatly & not wrinkled and the print quality & prices are great. Highly recommend them!
I liked being able to see the print quality of the different suppliers side by side with the same design. I'd like to see a similar comparison done with Spreadshirt and Printful.
I tried Printful, ordered 10 + merchs to test quality. I would skip them. It came smelling like vinegar and milk dew. The printing was already peeling off. Misaglinment. Mind you 10 different item each has some kinda of issue. not sure about Spreadshirt though.
@@wenliang4757 WOW. A bit shocked to hear that! Did you test Printify or Redbubble? How do they compare in your experience? I personally am very sensitive to strong odors, (too good sense of smell), so, I wouldn't want what I hate for a customer, no way...
Good thing about Printify is that they have ratings for each provider. Plus you can see which include tracking. My store is doing pretty well on Etsy but nothing on spotify :(....randomly teespring deleted my account so no idea what that is about. Redbubble I use just for overseas but Etsy so far has been my best outcome
Thank you for your channel and good advices and motivation for us creative people and designers struggling for motivation to make a living from it. Every time I'm down and lose my motivation I come back to your channel and regain trust in selling my designs. Just watching your smile cheers me up. Thank you Sarah! :)
Sarah, YOU CRACK ME UP! I look forward to your videos so much. When the days are gloomy and the snow is falling , and NEVER SEEMS TO STOP, I turn on your smiling face and learn something I had not known before. You my friend are a wealth of knowledge and a joy to watch. Thanks for the pick me up, odd I know but you have a very possitive energy and thats a great attribute in this world! Keep up the great work!!
I think you are amazing Sarah! I"m so happy that I bought into your program! As a commercialm artist I"m going to go for Shopify and printiful! I have lots of ideas in my niche!!
@@rezav2062 all pod is a hit and miss. it depends on if they will edit your image or print as is. what you see on your screen is not what they see on there's. specially if there monitor is calibrated and your is not. I think redbubble didnt edit your design and printed as is. and thats why is washed looking although that how dtg is. another reason lots of companys dont print that vibrant is cuz the ink cartridge cost $240 each and the white goes out faster and at the sametime so your paying $500 to replace everytime it goes out and thats basically every day lol. I print so I actually knowthe prices.
Random art from an Etsy designer is most likely going to be a JPG - made with pixels. Enlarged, the pixels WILL show. You must have vector artwork created in something like Adobe Illustrator to get a great image print.
@H R that's just not true? Who said that? They clearly aren't using Printful if they said that recently, because if so, that's slander & not true. They are shipping out my orders within 1-3 business days. It sounds like you're watching an old video from the start of 2020 when covid-19 hit and they had big delays! Before saying a supplier is having "massive delays" based off of what you're reading, I strongly recommend looking at the time stamp of that comment, to see if it's from earlier in the year when covid-19 hit Printful (and almost all the POD companies) because of forced government lockdowns out of their control. Printful's fulfillment times are fantastic: www.printful.com/fulfillment-updates 🙏 Next time I'll include Printful in the comparison, I'm sorry I didn't do it this time!
Wholesale Ted, you are a god, I worship you now. I haven't done redbubble yet but this is EXACTLY! what I have been looking for. I have not created an account and I might not get a lot of sales but I am making money from something I love to do. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Okay i started a Redbubble account after watching this channel cant even remember how I came across it but it wasnt for T-Shirts originally but now im obsessed but not only that all design and art really. I've sold a few to family members but made a proper sale yesterday after a month on a t-shirt design I made as a joke really but thanks for all the advice. Wanna start on Etsy or shopify but need to put more effort into it! Much love from the UK!
Hello, would you be interested in earning a passive income? How does a 1-1.5% a day return on your outlay sound GUARANTEED! From a 1 off payment, you will never have to pay again in your life thats a promise! As you get your returns each week you see your balance build? When you upgrade your pack, your returns become higher! ITS A WIN WIN FOR EVERYONE!
@@sycofya1677 ive been researching this for a while now. my conclusion is to use redbubble but try to sale only the higher quality fabric shirts. alot of people are deleting their teespring accounts bc its poor quality shirts considering the long wait times and high shipping cost. bigger profits on tspring IF you have alot of buyers. but like i said alot of problems with tspring. less profits on redbubble but happier customers and WAY more sales. im going with redbubble, then once i have a good following im gonna try merch by amazon.
What an amazing video, great job on the comparison! I've used TeeSpring and had a great experience, but now I think I'm going to try these options! Ill keep you posted with the results!
Well Sarah, you just sold me! I just set up an account on Printify (using your referral link of course) and getting it straight now. I plan on starting with Monster Digital also as you suggested. I currently have a pretty good Etsy shop where I hand make what I call "Road Sign Art", making about $15k last year and looking to make more this year...not bad for a side gig that I didnt see coming! I figured I would see if any of my designs would work on shirts and other items for some extra upsales and link through my Etsy store. Im excited to see how it goes...thanks again for the info, your videos have been full of inspiration so far!
I tried printing a sample with Monster Digital today based on one of your videos I watched last night. One thing that is important to note on your videos is that each company on Printify also has a different maximum print area. I was disappointed to discover that Monster Digital had a maximum print area of 15x17 when another company was offering a 15x19 option. So since my design was a 19 inch tall design, I tried another printer out of the UK. Hopefully the quality is superb. Those extra 2 inches make all the difference in the world for the types of designs I make. If I could go as large at 17x24, that would be perfect, but I know that’s a tough ask, even for traditional screen printers.
I recently started a redbubble Shop and was very insecure. I thought maybe I should have chosen a different one. Your video helps me a Lot, thank you very much!
I started with great eagerness, but soon found my graphic skills and file handling skills are waaayyyy below average. So I've pulled way back, and I'm concentrating on putting product onto Redbubble, so I can learn those skills. When I get some foundation skills, I'll be back in the Ecomm Clubhouse, ready to scale up!
This was super helpful. I've been wanting to create shirt designs for a long time and when I finally discovered "print on demand" I landed on Teespring. Ugh....now I'm going to have to redirect some of my efforts. Thanks for the great comparisons!
I thought this was a really valuable video. It confirmed for me that some of Red Bubble's stuff is sub-par. Specifically I have ordered a sample cap - not good - my logo was not embroidered just "stamped" on the cap and it came out looking very faded and kind of small. I also tried my design on their mask and socks - blurry design on both and I thought the mask was not very high quality. Finally I tried out a mug. I put my design over a red background which actually looked great but the paint on the red background started coming off after just a few hand washings. On the other hand I have tried their stickers and those came out great - very high quality. It was good to have you confirm that you really have to check out samples to make sure the quality is there. It can get expensive though! So thank you for recommending a good t shirt company with Printify. I ordered a sample sticker through Printify and wasn't too impressed compared to Red Bubble. Anyone have any good recommendations for a mug company to use through Printify? Thanks Sarah.
One thing to note...with any POD service, it is best to upload an image in CYMK otherwise the image will look "washed out" like you mention. If exporting an RGB, best to convert to CYMK work out the color changes and then convert back.
Awesome, The number one priority once you are up and running, before a soul buys anything is for you to buy your own product. Why? Watch the video and find out ✅ This is my own opinion and no this won't be for everyone as some only want the sales. I personally want to test the companies that will be printing for me.
On 2/4/23, I ordered two shirts on Spring to test out their customer service. This is what they sent back: Expected Arrival: Fri, Feb 24 - Tue, Feb 28. They have not yet arrived. When I checked the status today, I saw this: Your order is in production now. They will not be getting my business when I launch later this year. On the other hand, maybe they meant that the expected arrival date range is: Fri, Feb 24 - Tue, Feb 28 2034 or 2040...
omg! thank you so so much for this video, LOVE the fact you are reviewing 3 in 1 video and giving such important information to help people. Amazing content, very clear and simple. So happy I came across you on youtube, defo scrubbing and staying tuned for more :)
Sarah, thank you so much. I am a longtime subscriber and have always loved your fair and honest presentation's. I did not know that about Printify! That is pretty amazing. I AM on Teespring and Teepublic and MBA as well as Redbubble (shotgun approach, LOL!). I agree with you that RB definitely has it's place, but as you said, it depends on what your initial goals are. I am a huge proponent of quality and efficiency and may end up shutting my Teespring and Teepublic stores - I've not put a lot of work in them, just about 10 design's each. I like the market reach of RB even though I've not sold one thing on there! I am still drawn to it. I had a Shopify store but I didn't do it right back then and you've made me rethink this and focus on just 2 or 3 items. Anyway, thank you very much! By the way, if you ever think about it, I would love to see how MBA stacks up against Printify. I know the process for MBA is different. Thanks again! 👍😉
i love monster digital. i've never had a disappointing they've printed for me. and the thing is, if i sell it, i also own it myself. because i want to know first hand the type of product i'm putting out. so i always order myself an item as well. if i'm making the item myself then thats one thing, but using a company to help, thats different and if i won't wear it, then i don't want to sell it. i've managed to many times find quality printers doing that. it's easier when you can order just one item and not have to order a set amount.
fantastic advice and very thorough and informative video! I got so much value out of this. Thank you so much for your time end effort! I was stressing out on the costs of selling merch. I basically gave up after I went through Teesping awhile back. Little did I know there were other companies out there that had better quality. Their print quality was horrible and I was embarrassed as I seen one of my coworkers with my hoodie on. This got me really excited to try again with the merch! THANK YOU AGAIN!
I've tried them all and agree with Sarah 100%. Unfortunately I wasted lots of time setting up those shops before getting the product samples. Redbubble and Teespring might still be worth it for black and white text shirts.
great video! if you order from different suppliers again i would love to see how other people react to it. maybe Mimi would have preferred one of the shirts that have a thinner fabric or she thinks the washed-out prints are cooler. Oh and I would like to know if men even see the difference. It is said so often that they do not pay so much attention to details.
Wow, you answered so many questions that I had about Teespring and red bubble. My shirts are going to be just text or music notes on a staff. All white silk screen mainly on black or other dark colored T-shirts. In that case it seems likeTeespring or red bubble would be the best fit for me, as most of the traffic will be driven from one of my three RUclips channels. Thanks again for Thanks again for this incredible video
PRO for teespring that you probably dont know Sarah, as far as I know, even if the customer dispute a refund, you still keep the profit🙌 Currently im trying redbubble and teespring+instagram shoutout since i dont have that much money:) wish me luck!
I bought a sample of my own designs on Teespring and I have to agree with your observation Sarah; the quality of their T-Shirts is awful and so is the print quality. Thank you for the valuable info as always.
Thanks Sarah, I am so glad you did this review, especially Teespring. I was selling through all 3 of these companies, but don’t sell Teespring now due to my experiences. I purchased a design I did for my daughter on a hoodie and some socks. Shipping to Australia took months and cost me way too much. Teespring were not helpful when I was trying to track it. However, when we finally got the products, the socks were quite significantly different sizes.🤷♀️ so much for quality control! The print on both hoodie and socks was quite good from a photo of her dog, but the customer/seller service was pathetic. I could not have customers going through that experience. They did eventually replace the socks, and they even sent another hoodie, so with the cost it ended up not too bad, but like you said, when you are starting out if you can’t get that trust score, you don’t get seen, so what’s the point?! I have never sold a t-shirt through Redbubble or Printify, only facemasks, but the quality of Printify printers definitely seems better as the facemasks through Printify get 5 star reviews and great comments. So good to know which printers to go with for T-shirt quality.
@@gemini_ai4168 Organic sales are basically the ones you didn't have to pay money to get. Organic is not the right word here, as Haris wanted to say that Teespring has a couple of flaws: 1. You need to get your own sales in order to even hope to sell anything with your store (build an audience on social media ect). 2. Doesn't give you flexibility like Printful or Printify to have your own store which is not really beneficial for your branding. 3. I heard that quality is not impressive.
Same. I had a friend purchase one of my Teespring account shirts so I could see what the quality was like. I had selected one of the most expensive tees because it was supposed to be higher quality, better fit, softer, etc. They send a Hanes V-neck. ☹️ I felt scammed.
just got my samples from teespring - the prints came off after first wash My redbubble samples - prints look pretty bad - but they didn't come off after the wash though
Unlike most people, my compliments tend to be rather specific and direct. I would like to compliment you on your "Blink to Soul Piercing Stare Ratio" (BSPSR). I haven't done the math yet, but I'd say you're in the top 3 percentile. Way to go!
This has been so helpful. I've had trouble with Teespring designs with faded quality. I do like the ease of setting up the store, however, quality and vibrance is more the goal I'm going for, will have a look at Printful. Thanks for this video.
I am so glad I stumbled across your RUclips channel - everything is so detailed and it's so incredible that you're willing to share your experiences and advice. Here's hoping this is the start of my e-commerce journey!
T-Spring is now just "Spring" and some things have changed, but my question is does Printify also have the range of products of Spring? In particular, their embroidered items like ballcaps and regular printed cups are really nice.
Hey Ted 😏 could you please review society 6. Should we even consider it? Is it worth the time and effort? By the way I started my store because of you this year and I've made three sales.$$$$
Top video Sarah, just wanted to say a Big Thanks, for saving so many people so much time, and help avoiding mistakes by doing all this you have made such a Huge Difference in particular peoples lives. Cheers 👍👍👍
Sarah you really are an MVP! I was sitting here racking my brain over POD, this helps me more than you will ever know. I also love your keyword drops... #priceless
I started a Tee[spring] store in order to donate to ALL profits for charity alittle over 6 months ago... I recently gave up on them after taking the time/money to earn a trust score it seemed one out of every 3 products came out horrible... After all the money i put into promotions etc. it ended up being a total loss... I wouldnt recommend anyone using them unless they want inferior products sent to their customers... thank you for this video review I think Im going to rebrand and attempt to try again using Printify/Monster Digital... Wish me luck...
Thank you for this informative video. I am a beginner. I will use RedBubble. It sounded like you said Printiful in your last comparison of the T-Shirts.
Hi Sarah, I have been watching your videos since you came up with your first video "Ebay final value fee". your content has been great and I have learnt some valuable information from your content. you're the reason why I have stayed away from dropshipping lol. from my experience so far I feel Print on demand doesn't make you good passive income. if you're making $10 profit on one t-shirt which is usually the case if you go with "Redbubble" or "TeeSpring", you will have to sell 100 of them to make $1000 profit. if you go with Printify and have your own store in Shopify then you will have to rely on Influencer marketing, FB/insta ads or SEO. 1. to be realistic FB/insta ads are never profitable with print on demand. 2. Influencer marketing is a hit and a miss. 3. SEO is probably the only organic way but could take upto 8 months to 1 year before you start seeing results. What are your thoughts about it?
Haha, I am really glad my videos can help you 🌞thank you 🙏🌞 but I do have some pretty blunt thoughts on what you said 🙏 I hope you do not mind 🙏🙏🙏🙌 1) When you say "could take up to 8 months to 1 year to see results" as though that's a long time... That is a very short time for a business to be successful. So many people seem to have really unrealistic ideas around how long it will take to get good at building a business: ruclips.net/video/L4R9Om57zag/видео.html 2) If sounds like you have unrealistic ideas about profit margins. A 10% profit margin would be average, especially for a business selling physical profits. The profit margins in POD are actually above the curve because successful stores usually achieve at least 15% even with paid ads. However paid ads aren't passive, they require management, so saying "passive income" and paid ads in the same sentence isn't really fair. If passive income is the goal, I recommend treating your business as a long term project and invest into building up your SEO presence: ruclips.net/video/3SigfkatIuk/видео.html
Thank you so much for all the value you are providing in the form of the information which you have gathered with the research you have done and the experiences you have had. It means a lot. Thanks for all your efforts. I hit subscribe.
RedBubble’s lack of print quality perfectly underscores that buyers today just don’t care. The emphasis is on the quality of the virtue, not how pretty the signal is 🙄
Some things I have gotten or see from teespring has amazing quality but it's harder to use teespring on mobile since I don't have a pc right now but now im definitely either going to use red bubble or use printify once I make enough money
Teespring has much higher profit margins and you only have to make the first 1-10 sales on your own until your trust score goes up, so there is much more profit to be made. Why not post on them all though :)
I've watched all your videos and I love your channel but for this one, just a few things... On Redbubble, instead of turning off products that the image doesn't "fit" on, you can resize the image to fit all the items. Also, this isn't quite a real price comparison as Redbubble's price contains advertising, customer service, shipping & handling, taxes, returns. For Printify, you mentioned that the t-shirt price was for your premium subscription. So there's also the cost of your subscription and your website and you have to do customer service (which I know you hire a VA for - but most regular people will do this themselves). So, although this is a good video to show the print quality of each, it's not really a price comparison.
I have to sort of "gloss over" some aspects of the platforms in my videos, just to keep the videos snappy. I could definitely have resized that image & had it fit on some of the products for sure 🌞 my point wasn't to say that it couldn't have fit on all of those products, sorry, my point is everyone can pick/choose for themselves. I could have made that much clearer 🙏 It's true that I gave the Printify premium price. The non-premium price is only $1.20 more 🌞 it's still significantly cheaper than RedBubble if you don't want to buy a premium subscription 🌞 I do mention that the RedBubble price is all-inclusive. I spend the first few minutes of the video focused on that point, to give context to the the price I state so that people don't just balk: that they understand what you get, whereas with Printify they only make the shirt 🙏
@@WholesaleTed Thanks for answering! I did see that you mentioned everything for RB in the beginning. Didn't realize the price difference for non-premium was so low. That's good to know. :)
I started 2 redbubble shops about 2 months ago after watching one of your videos and so far I have sold over 100 products all for about 2 days worth of creating designs! Never wouldve done it if I wasn't subscribed to Wholesale Ted

"Advertising" is a strong word for being somewhere among the 200000 search results 😩
Yup!! The camera does show the difference
19:39 Absolutely correct. In fact Teespring has now rebranded as Spring and pivoted their business model to cater directly to "Creators", aka any entity with a sizable social media following. This channel ought to do a video on that tbh.
The ONLY game in town for just starting out if you have no money OR social media clout is now Redbubble--they have won the war. So start there, save up your, and eventually move on to your own private website.

Curious to who is going to win this battle!
Redbubble! They just need to improve the quality of their shirts and their prints. You even can pay more and get a Tshirt with better quality!
@@rezav2062 all pod is a hit and miss. it depends on if they will edit your image or print as is. what you see on your screen is not what they see on there's. specially if there monitor is calibrated and your is not. I think redbubble didnt edit your design and printed as is. and thats why is washed looking although that how dtg is. another reason lots of companys dont print that vibrant is cuz the ink cartridge cost $240 each and the white goes out faster and at the sametime so your paying $500 to replace everytime it goes out and thats basically every day lol. I print so I actually knowthe prices.
WELL....as 'RANDOM MAN '' would say '''we'll know in a minute''''
Random art from an Etsy designer is most likely going to be a JPG - made with pixels. Enlarged, the pixels WILL show. You must have vector artwork created in something like Adobe Illustrator to get a great image print.
Thank you...that makes perfect sense
Would have loved it even more if Printful was also included in the comparison.
And CustomCat.
One person said the opposite, with Printful being better than Printify.
I TOTALLY agree!
@@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked printful is great
@H R that's just not true? Who said that? They clearly aren't using Printful if they said that recently, because if so, that's slander & not true. They are shipping out my orders within 1-3 business days. It sounds like you're watching an old video from the start of 2020 when covid-19 hit and they had big delays! Before saying a supplier is having "massive delays" based off of what you're reading, I strongly recommend looking at the time stamp of that comment, to see if it's from earlier in the year when covid-19 hit Printful (and almost all the POD companies) because of forced government lockdowns out of their control. Printful's fulfillment times are fantastic: www.printful.com/fulfillment-updates 🙏
Next time I'll include Printful in the comparison, I'm sorry I didn't do it this time!
If you have the time, you could upload to all of them. Get sales from each and merch by Amazon
You won't have any issues? Selling same designs on different websites?
Wholesale Ted, you are a god, I worship you now. I haven't done redbubble yet but this is EXACTLY! what I have been looking for. I have not created an account and I might not get a lot of sales but I am making money from something I love to do. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Okay i started a Redbubble account after watching this channel cant even remember how I came across it but it wasnt for T-Shirts originally but now im obsessed but not only that all design and art really. I've sold a few to family members but made a proper sale yesterday after a month on a t-shirt design I made as a joke really but thanks for all the advice. Wanna start on Etsy or shopify but need to put more effort into it! Much love from the UK!
Hello, would you be interested in earning a passive income?
How does a 1-1.5% a day return on your outlay sound GUARANTEED!
From a 1 off payment, you will never have to pay again in your life thats a promise!
As you get your returns each week you see your balance build?
When you upgrade your pack, your returns become higher!
ITS A WIN WIN FOR EVERYONE!
I’ve ordered 3 tshirts from Redbubble and the printing is spot on. No fading at all.
right, she ordered ONE product, with a bloody watercolour design, that's already blurry lmao im actually happy to see how vibrant the colours were.
So RedBubble and Printify(Monster Digital). Thanks🤗
Thank you for this. I’ve been thinking of putting my art out on shirts, and you’ve helped me avoid some poor choices.
Hows it going so far? Which company would you recommend?
@@sycofya1677 ive been researching this for a while now. my conclusion is to use redbubble but try to sale only the higher quality fabric shirts. alot of people are deleting their teespring accounts bc its poor quality shirts considering the long wait times and high shipping cost. bigger profits on tspring IF you have alot of buyers. but like i said alot of problems with tspring. less profits on redbubble but happier customers and WAY more sales. im going with redbubble, then once i have a good following im gonna try merch by amazon.
What an amazing video, great job on the comparison! I've used TeeSpring and had a great experience, but now I think I'm going to try these options! Ill keep you posted with the results!
hows it going
Well Sarah, you just sold me! I just set up an account on Printify (using your referral link of course) and getting it straight now. I plan on starting with Monster Digital also as you suggested. I currently have a pretty good Etsy shop where I hand make what I call "Road Sign Art", making about $15k last year and looking to make more this year...not bad for a side gig that I didnt see coming! I figured I would see if any of my designs would work on shirts and other items for some extra upsales and link through my Etsy store. Im excited to see how it goes...thanks again for the info, your videos have been full of inspiration so far!
From the bottom of my heart.. "Thank You"
I tried printing a sample with Monster Digital today based on one of your videos I watched last night. One thing that is important to note on your videos is that each company on Printify also has a different maximum print area. I was disappointed to discover that Monster Digital had a maximum print area of 15x17 when another company was offering a 15x19 option. So since my design was a 19 inch tall design, I tried another printer out of the UK. Hopefully the quality is superb. Those extra 2 inches make all the difference in the world for the types of designs I make. If I could go as large at 17x24, that would be perfect, but I know that’s a tough ask, even for traditional screen printers.
I recently started a redbubble Shop and was very insecure. I thought maybe I should have chosen a different one. Your video helps me a Lot, thank you very much!
I started with great eagerness, but soon found my graphic skills and file handling skills are waaayyyy below average. So I've pulled way back, and I'm concentrating on putting product onto Redbubble, so I can learn those skills.
When I get some foundation skills, I'll be back in the Ecomm Clubhouse, ready to scale up!
This was super helpful. I've been wanting to create shirt designs for a long time and when I finally discovered "print on demand" I landed on Teespring. Ugh....now I'm going to have to redirect some of my efforts. Thanks for the great comparisons!
I wish I knew this a year ago, wasted my time with teespring, and never sold a single product. Bless you Sarah I will try RB .
How did it go?
I don't even want to print designs but love this video.
I thought this was a really valuable video. It confirmed for me that some of Red Bubble's stuff is sub-par. Specifically I have ordered a sample cap - not good - my logo was not embroidered just "stamped" on the cap and it came out looking very faded and kind of small. I also tried my design on their mask and socks - blurry design on both and I thought the mask was not very high quality. Finally I tried out a mug. I put my design over a red background which actually looked great but the paint on the red background started coming off after just a few hand washings. On the other hand I have tried their stickers and those came out great - very high quality. It was good to have you confirm that you really have to check out samples to make sure the quality is there. It can get expensive though! So thank you for recommending a good t shirt company with Printify. I ordered a sample sticker through Printify and wasn't too impressed compared to Red Bubble. Anyone have any good recommendations for a mug company to use through Printify? Thanks Sarah.
One thing to note...with any POD service, it is best to upload an image in CYMK otherwise the image will look "washed out" like you mention. If exporting an RGB, best to convert to CYMK work out the color changes and then convert back.
So true!!!
Also depends on the printer they use. DTG printers use RGB instead of CYMK
Awesome, The number one priority once you are up and running, before a soul buys anything is for you to buy your own product. Why? Watch the video and find out ✅ This is my own opinion and no this won't be for everyone as some only want the sales. I personally want to test the companies that will be printing for me.
I didn't even know about RedBubble. I've been using Teespring. Though Teesprings sticker & mug printing was great.
On 2/4/23, I ordered two shirts on Spring to test out their customer service. This is what they sent back: Expected Arrival: Fri, Feb 24 - Tue, Feb 28. They have not yet arrived. When I checked the status today, I saw this: Your order is in production now. They will not be getting my business when I launch later this year. On the other hand, maybe they meant that the expected arrival date range is: Fri, Feb 24 - Tue, Feb 28 2034 or 2040...
omg! thank you so so much for this video, LOVE the fact you are reviewing 3 in 1 video and giving such important information to help people. Amazing content, very clear and simple. So happy I came across you on youtube, defo scrubbing and staying tuned for more :)
Sarah, thank you so much. I am a longtime subscriber and have always loved your fair and honest presentation's. I did not know that about Printify! That is pretty amazing. I AM on Teespring and Teepublic and MBA as well as Redbubble (shotgun approach, LOL!). I agree with you that RB definitely has it's place, but as you said, it depends on what your initial goals are. I am a huge proponent of quality and efficiency and may end up shutting my Teespring and Teepublic stores - I've not put a lot of work in them, just about 10 design's each. I like the market reach of RB even though I've not sold one thing on there! I am still drawn to it. I had a Shopify store but I didn't do it right back then and you've made me rethink this and focus on just 2 or 3 items. Anyway, thank you very much! By the way, if you ever think about it, I would love to see how MBA stacks up against Printify. I know the process for MBA is different. Thanks again! 👍😉
Posting to help grow this nice channel. Your efforts are appreciated and will help others.
I just came across your channel a day ago. I have never been more hopeful and inspired.
This video is FANTASTIC! I'm very glad I decided to go with Printify. The extra setup is so worth it.
Great job!
Does anybody else love the way she talks or is it just me? SO cute! Also, thank you for the in-depth review, it helped me a lot!
Would loooove a video or little ebook with the top suppliers on Printify from each category 😍😍😍😍😍😍
That would be awesome!! for real - there are so many !!
i love monster digital. i've never had a disappointing they've printed for me. and the thing is, if i sell it, i also own it myself. because i want to know first hand the type of product i'm putting out. so i always order myself an item as well.
if i'm making the item myself then thats one thing, but using a company to help, thats different and if i won't wear it, then i don't want to sell it. i've managed to many times find quality printers doing that.
it's easier when you can order just one item and not have to order a set amount.
fantastic advice and very thorough and informative video! I got so much value out of this. Thank you so much for your time end effort! I was stressing out on the costs of selling merch. I basically gave up after I went through Teesping awhile back. Little did I know there were other companies out there that had better quality. Their print quality was horrible and I was embarrassed as I seen one of my coworkers with my hoodie on. This got me really excited to try again with the merch! THANK YOU AGAIN!
I just love when she smiles
Extremely helpful! I love how in-depth you went into each company's service model.
I've tried them all and agree with Sarah 100%. Unfortunately I wasted lots of time setting up those shops before getting the product samples. Redbubble and Teespring might still be worth it for black and white text shirts.
It's true that black & white designs will not be as impacted by the lack of quality printing as a color design!
great video!
if you order from different suppliers again i would love to see how other people react to it. maybe Mimi would have preferred one of the shirts that have a thinner fabric or she thinks the washed-out prints are cooler. Oh and I would like to know if men even see the difference. It is said so often that they do not pay so much attention to details.
1 month ago I have started my Redbubble shop and so far have made 2 sales, I hope I will make more soon:) thanks to all your tips!
What do you sell
Wow, you answered so many questions that I had about Teespring and red bubble. My shirts are going to be just text or music notes on a staff. All white silk screen mainly on black or other dark colored T-shirts. In that case it seems likeTeespring or red bubble would be the best fit for me, as most of the traffic will be driven from one of my three RUclips channels. Thanks again for Thanks again for this incredible video
PRO for teespring that you probably dont know Sarah, as far as I know, even if the customer dispute a refund, you still keep the profit🙌
Currently im trying redbubble and teespring+instagram shoutout since i dont have that much money:) wish me luck!
THANK YOU! I'm going to move all of my designs over to Printify and set up a store.
was it the right choice? I'm just starting pod
I bought a sample of my own designs on Teespring and I have to agree with your observation Sarah; the quality of their T-Shirts is awful and so is the print quality. Thank you for the valuable info as always.
Thanks Sarah, I am so glad you did this review, especially Teespring. I was selling through all 3 of these companies, but don’t sell Teespring now due to my experiences. I purchased a design I did for my daughter on a hoodie and some socks. Shipping to Australia took months and cost me way too much. Teespring were not helpful when I was trying to track it. However, when we finally got the products, the socks were quite significantly different sizes.🤷♀️ so much for quality control!
The print on both hoodie and socks was quite good from a photo of her dog, but the customer/seller service was pathetic. I could not have customers going through that experience. They did eventually replace the socks, and they even sent another hoodie, so with the cost it ended up not too bad, but like you said, when you are starting out if you can’t get that trust score, you don’t get seen, so what’s the point?!
I have never sold a t-shirt through Redbubble or Printify, only facemasks, but the quality of Printify printers definitely seems better as the facemasks through Printify get 5 star reviews and great comments. So good to know which printers to go with for T-shirt quality.
Have you heard of Gelato, they have printers in Australia
@@cindyfinlayson4197 yes so do Printify.
@@janinenewman5223 oh thanks I didn't know that. Can you recommend ?
@@cindyfinlayson4197 I haven’t seen any samples myself, but I haven’t had any complaints.
@@janinenewman5223 thanks for your reply. Do you get many returns?
The print quality comparison has been very useful information for me. This allows you to choose your vendor wisely. I send you my thanks from afar.
I've used Teespring and wasn't a fan
I'm going to try Redbubble and Zazzle soon ❤️
Why weren't you a fan of Teepsring Haris? 🙏
@@WholesaleTed you have to get your own sales before you get organic sales and shipping times are too long
@@cryptoflippodcast could you please explain more ?! What do you mean by organic sales ?!
@@gemini_ai4168 Organic sales are basically the ones you didn't have to pay money to get. Organic is not the right word here, as Haris wanted to say that Teespring has a couple of flaws:
1. You need to get your own sales in order to even hope to sell anything with your store (build an audience on social media ect).
2. Doesn't give you flexibility like Printful or Printify to have your own store which is not really beneficial for your branding.
3. I heard that quality is not impressive.
Same. I had a friend purchase one of my Teespring account shirts so I could see what the quality was like. I had selected one of the most expensive tees because it was supposed to be higher quality, better fit, softer, etc. They send a Hanes V-neck.
☹️ I felt scammed.
just got my samples from teespring - the prints came off after first wash
My redbubble samples - prints look pretty bad - but they didn't come off after the wash though
Unlike most people, my compliments tend to be rather specific and direct. I would like to compliment you on your "Blink to Soul Piercing Stare Ratio" (BSPSR). I haven't done the math yet, but I'd say you're in the top 3 percentile. Way to go!
But what did they look like after a wash?
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen. Helpful, well-produced, and to-the-point. Keep up the great work!
This has been so helpful. I've had trouble with Teespring designs with faded quality. I do like the ease of setting up the store, however, quality and vibrance is more the goal I'm going for, will have a look at Printful. Thanks for this video.
I am so glad I stumbled across your RUclips channel - everything is so detailed and it's so incredible that you're willing to share your experiences and advice. Here's hoping this is the start of my e-commerce journey!
Thank you for your videos! inspiring and motivational - It helped me a lot!
You always bring the goods girl!!! Thanks for solving my current problem!
YOU’RE A BLESSING TED!
T-Spring is now just "Spring" and some things have changed, but my question is does Printify also have the range of products of Spring? In particular, their embroidered items like ballcaps and regular printed cups are really nice.
Thanks for the great video Sarah! I’d love to see how they all do with mugs. I’d also like to see how Printful fares against them 🤔
I've made quite a bit from redbubble in the past 2 months. I haven't put a dorp of effort in it since 2018
How much?
Hey Ted 😏 could you please review society 6. Should we even consider it? Is it worth the time and effort? By the way I started my store because of you this year and I've made three sales.$$$$
Hope its still going well!
Top video Sarah, just wanted to say a Big Thanks, for saving so many people so much time, and help avoiding mistakes by doing all this you have made such a Huge Difference in particular peoples lives. Cheers 👍👍👍
Sarah you really are an MVP! I was sitting here racking my brain over POD, this helps me more than you will ever know. I also love your keyword drops... #priceless
I started a Tee[spring] store in order to donate to ALL profits for charity alittle over 6 months ago... I recently gave up on them after taking the time/money to earn a trust score it seemed one out of every 3 products came out horrible... After all the money i put into promotions etc. it ended up being a total loss... I wouldnt recommend anyone using them unless they want inferior products sent to their customers... thank you for this video review I think Im going to rebrand and attempt to try again using Printify/Monster Digital... Wish me luck...
This is SO helpful, thank you ✨
Thank you for this informative video. I am a beginner. I will use RedBubble. It sounded like you said Printiful in your last comparison of the T-Shirts.
*Printful* : psssh, amateurs.
Lol. Nice job Sarah. Would have loved to see a printful comparison.
Hi Sarah,
I have been watching your videos since you came up with your first video "Ebay final value fee". your content has been great and I have learnt some valuable information from your content. you're the reason why I have stayed away from dropshipping lol.
from my experience so far I feel Print on demand doesn't make you good passive income. if you're making $10 profit on one t-shirt which is usually the case if you go with "Redbubble" or "TeeSpring", you will have to sell 100 of them to make $1000 profit.
if you go with Printify and have your own store in Shopify then you will have to rely on Influencer marketing, FB/insta ads or SEO.
1. to be realistic FB/insta ads are never profitable with print on demand.
2. Influencer marketing is a hit and a miss.
3. SEO is probably the only organic way but could take upto 8 months to 1 year before you start seeing results.
What are your thoughts about it?
Haha, I am really glad my videos can help you 🌞thank you 🙏🌞 but I do have some pretty blunt thoughts on what you said 🙏 I hope you do not mind 🙏🙏🙏🙌
1) When you say "could take up to 8 months to 1 year to see results" as though that's a long time... That is a very short time for a business to be successful. So many people seem to have really unrealistic ideas around how long it will take to get good at building a business: ruclips.net/video/L4R9Om57zag/видео.html
2) If sounds like you have unrealistic ideas about profit margins. A 10% profit margin would be average, especially for a business selling physical profits. The profit margins in POD are actually above the curve because successful stores usually achieve at least 15% even with paid ads.
However paid ads aren't passive, they require management, so saying "passive income" and paid ads in the same sentence isn't really fair. If passive income is the goal, I recommend treating your business as a long term project and invest into building up your SEO presence: ruclips.net/video/3SigfkatIuk/видео.html
Would testing a shirt design on Etsy or Redbubble before making your own store be a good practice? I’m hesitant to run ads for tee-shirts.
A lot of people start that way! If you'd prefer to do that, go for it.
Thank you so much for all the value you are providing in the form of the information which you have gathered with the research you have done and the experiences you have had. It means a lot. Thanks for all your efforts. I hit subscribe.
17:24 is a golden moment.
Wow this is so insightful and I am so inspired by what you have done. You are now my official mentor and I will learn from you. Thanks gal!
RedBubble’s lack of print quality perfectly underscores that buyers today just don’t care. The emphasis is on the quality of the virtue, not how pretty the signal is 🙄
Some things I have gotten or see from teespring has amazing quality but it's harder to use teespring on mobile since I don't have a pc right now but now im definitely either going to use red bubble or use printify once I make enough money
Shoot, I had just started trying to make a Teespring store, to find out redbubble is better🙈😂
me too
That is exactly what I did. I'm having trouble though in general I am Very computer illiterate.
Teespring has much higher profit margins and you only have to make the first 1-10 sales on your own until your trust score goes up, so there is much more profit to be made. Why not post on them all though :)
@@mr.almond6318 do you mean make products on each website?
@@mr.almond6318 big brain play right there. I was contemplating going on all as well aha
Thank you very much for clarifying the different pod apps and also printing company👍😀 very helpful. 😄
I've watched all your videos and I love your channel but for this one, just a few things... On Redbubble, instead of turning off products that the image doesn't "fit" on, you can resize the image to fit all the items. Also, this isn't quite a real price comparison as Redbubble's price contains advertising, customer service, shipping & handling, taxes, returns. For Printify, you mentioned that the t-shirt price was for your premium subscription. So there's also the cost of your subscription and your website and you have to do customer service (which I know you hire a VA for - but most regular people will do this themselves). So, although this is a good video to show the print quality of each, it's not really a price comparison.
I have to sort of "gloss over" some aspects of the platforms in my videos, just to keep the videos snappy. I could definitely have resized that image & had it fit on some of the products for sure 🌞 my point wasn't to say that it couldn't have fit on all of those products, sorry, my point is everyone can pick/choose for themselves. I could have made that much clearer 🙏
It's true that I gave the Printify premium price. The non-premium price is only $1.20 more 🌞 it's still significantly cheaper than RedBubble if you don't want to buy a premium subscription 🌞
I do mention that the RedBubble price is all-inclusive. I spend the first few minutes of the video focused on that point, to give context to the the price I state so that people don't just balk: that they understand what you get, whereas with Printify they only make the shirt 🙏
@@WholesaleTed Thanks for answering! I did see that you mentioned everything for RB in the beginning. Didn't realize the price difference for non-premium was so low. That's good to know. :)
Great video! I appreciate the honest comparisons and the cheerful delivery.
Wait! You're going to be Frank? I'm Frank! 😎
Thanks so much! I had no clue printify used different sources, so I greatly appreciate you letting us know one that's great!
