For those of you using Midjourney to create the images for your products - are you paying for one of the higher plans to get "stealth" mode? If not, are you worried about others "stealing" your prompts/ideas? I've tried out a LOT of other AI tools, but Midjourney does seem to give me the best results for my use. Its just that I can't really afford the Pro plan while my store isn't really making $$$. But I also don't like the idea that anyone has access to anything I create, and feel all the time and effort I put into creating unique designs would be a bit of a waste. Would love to hear what others do/think about this.

To anyone else here in Florida, stay safe please!! Ideogram Prompt: A hand-drawn doodle art style design of a sketch of Florida with the words "Florida Strong" in a hunter green bold script font, with the letter "o" replaced by red hearts. There is a cyclone hurricane spinning towards the state in the ocean space from the bottom left of the design. Within the state are red hearts spaced sporadically within the state outline. Behind the state outline is the strong, firm outline of a green palm tree. This entire design is on a white background.

Now that my store has been actively loaded by me for about 4 days, i had my first sale yesterday evening. i was really happy because i didn't expect it. especially because it's a design that i actually didn't want to upload because i don't like it that much myself. 😂 But what I've learned from this is that I'm going to start by uploading all the designs. Regardless of whether I like them or not. I first have to develop a feeling for what sells well and what doesn't. I'm now getting back to work to create more designs. 😉 Best regards Tobias

Prompt: A hand drawn watercolor humorous illustration of a relaxed black cat lounging in a cozy armchair. The cat is wearing a glasses and is holding a book. Next to the cat is a cup of coffee and a pumpkin resting on the armrest. The background contains a bookshelf filled with books. The top of the design reads, "THAT'S WHAT I DO, I READ BOOKS," while the bottom continues with, "I DRINK PUMPKIN SPICE AND I KNOW THINGS." Dalle3 in MyDesigns

There was a post earlier in the other group about anxiety with posting designs, SEO, shop layout, etc. and I wanted to shared my response to let everyone know that this is very common and to help anyone that may feel imposter syndrome in anyway and know you're not alone... So in response to feeling like you have imposter syndrome, or your shop layout doesn't look perfect or your designs aren't looking like what you want or like others: When I decided to make tumbler wraps designs, there were several large design shops with over 100K sales and 5K+ reviews and they were graphic designers (like real ones who used PS, Illustrator, and Procreate), I know this because I joined all the FB groups and was doing as much research as possible to see what made them successful...because here I was, just utilizing commercial use graphics and attempting to draw in Procreate (that ended quickly). I created SO many designs, that I NEVER posted because I thought they weren't good enough, didn't look like theirs's, and I just felt like an imposter in their SPACE. After like my 100th YT video, I was just like, you know what, whatever, I need to post them to see what works and what doesn't and I did and I started getting sales on the most random designs (and in my opinion) the most ugly designs. But it was because they weren't like everyone else's....they were unique in their own way, because they were different from the 'professionals' . So it's ok to be NOT be perfect or be different than the rest. My early designs were NOT 300 DPI, some were not size correctly, I had typos on a few (this still happens today) etc. But the more I posted, the better I got and the more that sales happened and the more my confidence grew and I just kept posting, practicing, posting practicing and within that first year, I topped every original 'tumbler designer' on Etsy in both sales and reviews. (not a flex, just facts :). All this to say, don't let perfectionism stop you from posting, you'll always be continuing to learn and that's a good thing. :)
