Most Print on Demand Sites Can NOT Do This! I’ll Show You How You Can Do It on Zazzle & Stand Out.

Ever since I made this video right here about  Zazzle, people have been asking me…. How do   you upload to there? I’m going to show you in  this video how to do it. There’s a couple of   ways to do it. It’s very different than some  of the other print on demand sites and that’s

Because Zazzle was built differently to do  lots of different things, mainly for holidays,   so that you can adjust text and personalize  stuff. So it’s not really made just for t-shirts.   It’s made for a wide range of products which  makes it a little more intense and confusing,

Maybe possibly confusing. So I’m going to show  you how to do it for t-shirts I’m not going to   get into uploading all kinds of different products  but of course you can do that on um Zazzle if you

Want me to do videos for those let me know in the  comments right there the first thing I’m going to   do is go to canva and show you the different types  of uploads or downloads that you can do on on

Canva and that’s going to affect what you see on  the Zazzle so it’s going to just be a real quick   tutorial on canva kind of the different types PNG  and SVG and then we’re going to go into Zazzle I’m

Going to show you how to do a basic PNG upload but  then I’m going to show you how to upload it with   SVG and some personalized text and things like  that so lots to see in this video you want to

Stay to the end to see all of that let’s get into  canva right now and I’ll show you the difference   so here we are on canva real quick I want to show  you the difference so this is just a object that

I got on canva right you can get anyone it doesn’t  have to be this one but the difference is you want   to see is that you can change the colors here so  you can see here I can change it from white to

Red to Yellow to whatever right so if I want to  change the yellow to this red color of course I   can change it to the background but you won’t see  it or blue or whatever right you can change the

Color so this is the type of designs that you’re  looking for for SVG or else it’s not going to work   if you put in a graphic that’s a photo that you  can’t change the text the change the colors then

You can’t use that it’s not going to work in  the example so look for something like this or   make your own of course anytime you put text in  here or anytime you put a graphic that you draw

With shapes or whatever those can be changed with  colors right those can change the colors there’s   lots on here on canvas so that’s that’s just  that’s what you’re looking for right so once you   have that now now go to share and download so you  can download two different types so originally or

What most people do is PNG that’s this one right  here 4500 by 5400 transparent background if you   have it if you have the canva pro I would suggest  getting it because you only can do svgs with

Camera Pro but if you don’t you can still use this  one delete the background right with photo p and   all of that but this is how I’m going to download  this one and this is going to be just a PNG file

Transparent background I can’t change the colors  on PNG files but on SVG files you can so come over   here and go to SVG again only for pro canva pro  accounts but do the transparent background Again

Download this and this will be a SVG file which  you can change the colors on so we’re going to do   both in Zelda I’ll show you how that works and  how people can really personalize your content

Or your designs because you have an SVG now this  one’s just two colors you can do four colors three   colors whatever it is I’m just showing two colors  so you can see the difference of changing colors

But have fun with the colors you may not want to  use more than three or four colors anyway but uh   yeah you can do that so let’s get into Zazzle and  I’ll show you the different types of uploads now

So here I am on Zazzle on a cyber monday you  can see there have the Cyber Monday sale but   uh I’m gonna show you how to create this is where  you do it the create button right here of course

You need to be signed in so sign up for Zazzle  sign in and everything and then go right here   to create so this is how you do it hit create and  I’m gonna pick T-shirts but you can see there’s a

Bunch of products and if you hit view all there’s  going to be a list of products that I showed in   my other video but let’s just do t-shirts since  that’s what we’re here for and we can do that

And then this is very important you want to pick  the t-shirt that it relates to so if you’re doing   a women’s design pick the women’s T-shirt If  you’re doing a kids design pick a kids t-shirt

If it doesn’t matter then you can just do basic  t-shirt right and then pick a color too that you   want to start with but you can pick colors at the  end as well so this is um very important First

Step pick the one that you want most of the time  this basic dark t-shirt is going to be the one you   want or basic white t-shirt it’s going to be the  one you want but again if you have a special you

Know made for women or kids or whatever or if you  want it to be on a special t-shirt then you can   do that so I’m going to click here and you can see  right away this is where you can change the color

Again let’s say I want to make it red and you can  change this at any time but let’s say I want to   change it red here it’ll do it and then let’s  do customize design because right now there’s

Nothing on it so we’re going to do that and we’re  going to do upload images I have a bunch of images   I did my 31 designs that I did and I also did a  test on the merry Christmas but I’m going to show

You how to find that so you go upload images and  then you have your folder maybe you made a folder   with your designs and you can see here I’ve had  PNG and SVG right so I uploaded these already

So but you would click on that and hit open and  then it’ll load it up here so I’m going to hit   cancel and you can see this one is the PNG and  this one’s the fsbg I don’t know if it says it

Right there but there’s a difference so I’m going  to do PNG first and you can see right away that   you can’t change the colors on it because it’s a  PNG and some of the basic things you can do you

Can’t see the person so I’m going to remove  myself here because this is really important   you can see the preview right here so if  you can’t see it you can click on this

And kind of look at it yeah maybe I want it higher  maybe I want it smaller and you can X out of here   and move it higher and smaller so let’s do that  let’s make it smaller and higher like this and

You can use this align tool to kind of make sure  that it’s centered you can see now it’s centered   and you can use a bunch of these online tools you  can do tiling but I wouldn’t do that on t-shirts

And you can have the grid up if you want to really  make sure that it’s on the grid but I don’t use   that as well and guides you can turn that on and  off let’s see here filters this is more for photos

So you can change the filters and colors on there  crop now you could crop things if you want to but   usually when you bring stuff in you don’t need to  crop it fit and fill that’s just going to fill the

Space or fit the space and you can scale it with  this plus or minus or rotate and flip things but   usually once you make your PNG in canva you don’t  need to use those things but there are there and

Then remove the background remove white from this  image I don’t want to do that because white is   put there intentionally you can do background only  in some of these things but really you don’t need   to do all of this and then this make this object  permanent I wouldn’t do that necessarily and this

One right here you can read about that but just  to keep it simple put it in here upload it grab   the picture you know size it make sure that it’s  in the right size use this preview make sure it’s

There look at all the different previews here and  like yeah that looks great that’s where I want it   right on the chest and then hit done so now again  you still have the chance to pick your default

Color let’s say I wanted the darker red maybe that  looks better great and then I have to hit sell   it so just hit sell it and this is where you put  your title and keywords oh let me put my face back

There and back so this is where you put  your title and keyword so let’s just do   really quick but you’re going to use some  better keywords than this so Merry Christmas maybe 2022 uh maybe um Christmas  bells maybe maybe Christmas bills

You know something like that uh vintage design  now this part right here Marketplace Department   this is all dependent on what you picked in the  beginning so if you pick that men’s t-shirt that   basic t-shirt it’s going to put it in that  department if you picked the women’s t-shirt

And maybe we’ll do that next time you’ll see that  this will change or the kids Department this will   change but just click on here usually that’s  the right thing if you want to change it you   can go look for a different department but usually  that’s right and then the description again your

Keywords I’m not going to go into keywords here  but you’re going to put in all your description   or your long description so like this is a  t-shirt or this is a design for Christmas and for families

Blah blah blah right okay and then this one here  you can be longer this can take a lot more space   and you stuff it with keywords that make sense  for this design and who’s it for right and then

Change options I would sell this on all options  so it’s going to put it on all different products   and that’s fine some people don’t want to display  the products with people I I like it with people   with t-shirts make sense and then here we’re  going to change the categories recipient and

Store most of these categories are for holidays  because Zazzle is big on holiday so you’re gonna   know here on Expressions Expressions I’m usually  going to do funny and last but because this is   Merry Christmas now I can actually come in here  and do Christmas so where did it go Christmas

So that’s appropriate right so most of the time  you’re going to design for these uh occasions   and holidays on Zazzle and they do have some  for funny but I think you can see here that   um they really want you to pick one of these  holidays or special occasions right because

That’s what they’re about so Chris Christmas I’m  going to hit OK you can see there’s Christmas   who’s this for is it for a man woman child pet  whatever I’m gonna just put all of everybody   it’s for everyone it will work and then store  categories I usually leave it to New unless you

Have special categories maybe you have a category  for Christmas and you put all your Christmas stuff   in there or whatever then I would make a new one  but I’m gonna just say new products and that kind   of is a blanket statement for everything  and then you get 10 tags here so Christmas

Merry Christmas you can do two words if you want  with a comma a holiday vintage script whatever   it is right we don’t have to come up with all of  them but I would say use all 10 tags if you can’t

Think of what works there I would pick G unless  you have some pgrr content I would stick to G   content that’s just a lot safer your royalties  here you can always change your royalties this is

The default one that I set up in the other video  but if you want to change this and for some reason   to make it higher Laura you can here and then say  have I have the rights to do this and then post it

And then you’re gonna post it I’ll show you what  happens after you hit post it you can send it   to a friend or whatever but you can take a look  at it and click here so let’s take a look at it

So there it is there’s your stuff this is what  it’s going to look like on Zazzle you can put a   cover photo photo if you want I don’t need to  you can like your stuff if you want that’d be

Great uh share it right and this is what people  will see when they look for your stuff so it’s   going to say whatever name you put in there uh  your your name by detour shirts yours is going

To be different obviously and then you can edit  this design and stuff so now this is for you to   edit your design but other people won’t have  the option to edit this design but I’m going

To show you a way that people can personalize the  design so let’s go back and do this again let’s   create another one but with the SVG so let’s  do this again we’ll hit create here t-shirts   and we’re going to pick the same t-shirt here  and we’re going to customize this design but this

Time we’re going to use the SVG file so it’s this  one right here of course you can upload it you’ll   notice a difference here it’s a little smaller  but you also can change the colors check this

Out so this is also going to be available for  people who want to personalize their design to   change the colors now we can go in here and  make it bigger um let me move my face again

Here so you can see that now you notice there’s  some space down here and we’re going to fill that   space with text so we can come in here and do text  add text and I’m going to do Smith family just to

Be generic right and you can see I can put it  down here and there’s lots of different fonts   I think by default there’s a different font but I  I’ve chose this Engelbert but you can choose look

At all the fonts they have it’s amazing right so  if you want to change a font uh let’s do chewy   Smith family right and then we can see how  that works with it too Smith found me I think

That works great I can make it all caps if I  want let’s do that let’s go here and come back   and edit hit caps Smith family now again this  is just a placeholder because people can change

It to whatever family name they want and let’s  do another text to change the year so this is   very powerful um I can sell this year after year  even though it’s 2022 you know it maybe says that

Smith family 2022 people can come in here and  say whatever Johnson family 2023 or whatever so   this can be something that they can buy year after  year so that’s pretty cool and change the colors   if they don’t like it so one thing that you’ll do  here is um make objects permanent always visible

Or make this template object we’re going to  do a template object boom and we can have a   placeholder here so let’s just say um year  2022 and then we can put just put year here sweet and then this one Smith family same thing  click on this allow editing and we’re going

To put in a you know family name and I’m just  going to put the word family name all together great all right so now we have this all  the way that we want it make double check   again yes that’s what I want and  then we’re just going to hit done

So now I’m back so now when people  see this they can personalize it so   check this out so when people see this on  Zazzle and they hit personalize instead of   Smith family they can come in here  and say maybe their name’s Johnson

Family and maybe it’s not 22 22  anymore maybe it’s 20 23 right or   they could even change it like I put a name uh  number there but what if they want uh to say   um their first name maybe their  name is uh Stan or something right

Or dad what if they want to do that so they can  also edit this so not only can they change it here   but they’ll have the design tool built into Zazzle  to come in here and they’ll come in here and

Change that so if they click on here and they want  to change this color to Blue whatever they got it   and they’ll say done and now it’s blue because  they want that blue is their favorite color and

Maybe they want to change their shirt to be like  this you know or like this whatever it is now they   can personalize their thing their t-shirt the way  they want it and order a bunch because now it’s

Going to say uh Johnson family 2022 I want one for  Mom and Dad and a sister and brother and whatever   right so very powerful on Zazzle something that  you can’t do on any other print on demand side

At least not the 10 that I’m using uh that can  do this so think of this when you’re designing   for Zazzle think of ways that you can scale it you  can make it customized personalize and things like

That so names years um things like that you know  teams whatever it is occupations is another one   that you can switch out world’s greatest you know  nurse or doctor or whatever you could you could do   things like that so have fun with this really easy  to do hopefully this step-by-step tutorial helps

You create stuff for Zazzle that can get bought  multiple times not just for Christmas but think   of other holidays for this you know you got lots  of holidays during the year and they have a list

There to show you which ones are popular too so  have fun with this make lots of designs and hope   you get lots of sales so that is it for this video  hopefully this video is super helpful for you this

Is incredible what you can do on zazos and that  that you can change and personalize and people can   come in there and buy yourself and personalize it  and change it to the way that they want it to do I   think it’s something very unique and hopefully  other people do that or other print-on-demand

Sites do that because I think it’s really cool if  this video is really helpful for you make sure to   give it a thumbs up and if you’re not subscribed  to this channel already hit that subscribe button
