Friday Motivation
A quote I really like “It happens slower than you expected and then faster than you could imagine” Many of you are making prints on the side or as a hobby. Which means you likely need to spend some of your weekends building. Many of you are making really great progress but it doesn’t feel like it yet. You’re not seeing enough of the results that you’d like as fast as you’d like and that’s normal. But just because you’re not selling a lot yet, doesn’t mean your not getting closer. When I first started out I ran into so many problems. I bought all the material and for almost the first 6 months I didn’t sell anything. I was learning how to consistently make a good metal print. It was challenging. Many times I wanted to quit and thought it was useless. But every problem I ran into I looked at as an opportunity to learn and once I learned it, I could remove that problem from the list. Something that really helped was making a big list of every problem I was having and then 1 by 1 working on them to try and solve. If you repeatedly do this, you will get better and closer to your goal. If you’re already good at making prints, your next goal is learning how to sell. This is where your effort can really feel like it’s not working. You post a video and it only gets a few views and you’re upset. But you’ve now taken the first step and realize you can take another. “You can only build on success” Take what was good from that video and repeat it. Then take what you didn’t like and either improve it or remove it. If you repeatedly do this over time, you will get better. And if you’re new to social media or advertising, the results don’t usually come right away. Staying consistent and constantly trying to improve will move you forward. So just keep sticking with it. I promise every person (including me) when starting social media struggled. But the world rewards those who keep showing up. Some good luck to everyone building this weekend. I’ve got my plans laid out and will be continuing to work all weekend so just know that you’re not alone!

New Things are Coming!
Hey guys, it's time to give you an update! Full transparency, I closed my print shop. I've been helping a lot of people with their social media recently, and it just took too much time away from running the actual shop. So I had to make a decision. I love marketing / social media and just want to focus on that and help others grow their business. It's what I'm most interested in and best at. All of my time is now being focused on the best ways to grow. Which is good for you, because I can now start sharing that! So here's what is coming over the next week: - All new classroom based around social media growth (adding 2 of the courses today) - access to me 1-on-1 anytime for help with your social media strategy and video creation - 40% affiliate commission for every member you refer to the group - And anything else that you find interesting (would love your feedback!) This group will be open to anyone who has a print shop, not just metal prints. I hope that we can share different types of printing methods, and everyone can grow together on social media. I will keep you updated this week as the new features are released. Thanks everyone, Rush

40% Affiliate Commisions
For every person you refer to this group, you will receive a 40% commission every month. I also raised the price for new members to $67 month. (your price stays the same) That means you'll get about $27 for every month that the member stays. I created this because if you post content, people will ask you, "how'd you do that?" or "where to buy? Also, one referral would cover your membership. 10 referrals would be almost $270 per month paid to you. Hopefully you like this. I felt like it was a win-win for all of us. Thanks! PS. Click the group settings tab, and the referral link is under "invite". Send that to the person you're referring.

New to the community
Hi guys, I just joined the community. In looking at the activity, it doesn't look like its very active. Is this still active? I have an issue that I need help with. I am trying to print a 18x14 picture of a black German Shepard, but when I send it to my Epson F570 it prints out wavey and looks wet. I have changed a few setting but can't figure it out. I am using Photoshop. Also, when I try to apply it to the sublimation blank, it comes out cloudy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Selling on Facebook Marketplace
Hey guys, I've recently thought of a new way to sell your prints, and I wish I had thought of it sooner. Selling on Facebook Marketplace. This is such an underrated opportunity. I have been doing this with different items for the past 10 years. I buy and sell items locally all the time, and it's my favorite thing to do. I had never thought to sell custom prints, but its the perfect way for a lot of you. 1. You get to sell locally, which customers love. 2. It's free to post as many listings as you want. 3. You can offer shipping services. 4. You can boost the listing (with money) to show it to even more people. Normally, you will see service businesses (ex. lawn mowing) posting on here, and it works amazingly well for them, so I think it would work great for you as well. Here is what I would do: 1. Try to get unique local photos (ex., I live in Charleston, so getting local ocean or town photos). 2. Print each picture onto a print and take a photo of it in a nice setting. 3. Post 5-10 separate marketplace listings showcasing your work and offering custom prints. 4. Make it clear in the listing that you offer custom services. I dont know if marketplace is available in every country, but if you live in the U.S., this is the #1 way that I would get started. (If you've never used it, click the sidebar on Facebook and scroll until you see "Marketplace".) It's completely free, so you have nothing to lose. Good luck!
