Good morning and hello to you all 😊. This is a bit of a long post just to warn you! I have been lurking in the background reading posts, watching videos and preparing posters since June, and finally pressed the publish button on my Etsy shop on 1st August. Well it’s an old shop, but new to the posters. I needed to do something to try and earn a bit of cash as I haven’t been able to do much work over the last year due to an injury. I came across a video of Tom explaining how you could make money from creating and selling posters and decided to give it a go! My posters are travel posters recreated from my own photos I have taken on various holidays and trips. I do love to take a photo or two! So far I have created over 250 posters, but have only managed to put 48 on Etsy so far with the room mock ups etc. I will eventually use the bulk loading tool but I’m enjoying just taking my time with them at the moment. I recently ordered a few samples directly from Printshrimp to see how the matt and satin finishes looked and what the quality of the paper was like, and I have to say that the quality of the printing and depth of colours was amazing. The matt finish was so velvety. I wasn’t sure what to expect so it was reassuring to know I have no worries about what the customer is receiving. I have now ordered 5 posters for my own home 🤦🏽‍♀️ which isn’t going to make me any money 🤣. I was going to post this yesterday and say that I needed to get more posters listed to hopefully generate a first sale, and then last night I got my first one! Unfortunately my phone was on silent so I didn’t experience the kerching 😂. But that has given me the boost to get on and list more and see what happens! So this post is to say hello and say a big thanks to Printshrimp for the great job they are doing. I haven’t come across another POD company that is so free with their information and has a community like this. It’s fun reading all the posts and you soon get to know who has been on here a while and is a font of knowledge! It’s great that everyone is so helpful because I have definitely found some aspects of the process confusing and the answers have usually been on here somewhere.
