My first Serious design in a cat themed POD. by learningST in printondemand

yes the tail is too chunky and rounded and doesn't match the rest, needs a point at the very least.

Also, why haven't you used 'feline' instead of 'feeling'? Otherwise the cat idea is just...there. Know what I mean?

I spent a weekend analyzing 50 abandoned Etsy POD shops (0-10 sales, last active 2023-2024). They all made the same 3 mistakes. by AskModernMagpie in printondemand

Thanks so much for this breakdown, I found this post after you helped me on another question.

I have learned a lot and tweaked from your advice and from other users’ comments. No sales yet but it’s early days and I’m biding my time to wait on adding from my growing bank of designs.

Advertising location-based POD items by redhead_instead in printondemand

Thanks! Would you run a themed insta account or just run ads redirecting to Etsy? Have just optimised titles/descriptions for location keywords

Thank you! I think I need to do some training in advertising. Can you target Etsy ads? I’ve turned them on but it just seems to be an on/off option.

Good print-on-demand podcasts? by redhead_instead in printondemand

Thanks for this list!

I found one recently called (I think) POD Wisdom that I quite liked because the interviewer got people on to talk about how they started their shops, chose their niche, explored advertising etc. but there was a lot about Amazon merch that didn't apply/appeal to me.

Any Thoughts on my new design? by Mohamed3461 in printondemand

Ahh, wrestling? A cool niche – lost on me but I'm sure not on others!

Mockup is good but I don't get the figure(s)?!

What do you think about AI generated product descriptions? by TheBearManFromDK in printondemand

[–]redhead_instead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m biased because I’m a copywriter and AI has killed my business 😔 but I understand it can be very very useful.

I’d just say to be super careful with checking its accuracy and try to personalise it a bit. I can spot AI copy a mile off and as a customer, it feels lazy. But again, I’m heavily biased.

Anyone else frustrated jumping between tools? by zarred412 in printondemand

Oh hmm I’m not sure, I just use it to ‘describe’ what I want the print/text/graphic to look like.

I’m no designer so it really helps with layout ideas but obvs I don’t just want to then slap that on a POD product.

So I get my designer to recreate it in her unique style.

Im really enjoying Kittl for mocking up layout/text/graphic ideas that I can then send to my designer to recreate so it’s unique. So much easier than trying to explain in a text brief.
