For several months, I've been relying my research on Etsy. From keywords to the designs, I love gathering all of them there. It was only lately that I realized I am not selling my designs there. I am selling my designs in Tee Public, Redbubble, and sometimes in Zazzle. Why? Because starting with the Print-on-demand that requires a lot of skillsets shouldn't be expensive. If you have to do a lot of experimentations and a lot of mistakes, you should start in the free POD sites. Now let me tell you a little-known secret but before that, see my design this week and read my stories behind this design.
Unleash the Cry of Fear with this scary yet funny cat design! Featuring a sad, depressed, and obsessed feline trapped in a moment of pure horror and pain, this tee captures the unhappy emotions of a stray pet with a touch of dark humor. Perfect for Halloween lovers, horror fans, and cat enthusiasts, this unique cry of fear graphic blends cute and creepy into one unforgettable look. Let your fearful feline obsession shine!

Now, for designer's little-known secret, if you want to get a sale in a certain POD site, you must conduct all of your research there in their websites. There is no use of getting ideas and research from Etsy, or anywhere else if you are selling in Tee Public because they have different market with different taste when it comes to designs.
This design that you are seeing now have a research based on Tee Public and Redbubble because I am selling there. If you are like me who's fond of watching YouTube, you may notice how they research their next design. Normally they are researching within the Etsy if they are selling with Etsy or with Amazon Merch if they are selling in Amazon. Sometimes, they are using app to conduct their research but still, that is the one integrated with the print-on-demand that they are using.
Once I've proven that this research method is working, I will share with you the step-by-step process in the password protected page just for you who joined my email list. But now let me tell you my story behind that design.
I seldom create a blog post whenever I have my shift. Normally, I am creating designs every day off. However, there's something that happened in the office that scared me, hence, the theme of my design is "Cry of Fear."
My job runs through politics and favoritism. I have a very unsecure job with management who have a bias, discriminating take towards people who's getting older in the company.
Early this January, two of my older colleagues had been transferred to a different department. All I thought, they'd be okay there. But just two weeks after their transfer, they were placed on floating. That shocked me.
Actually, what had happened saddened me more than scared me. It saddened me because I lost two good and generous people at work. I am not scared to lose my job because I know God holds my future and the future of my family.
People like them thought that they will not grow old, and they will be forever young. People like them thought that I'd be in the losing end if they place me on floating. In reality, it's my God who will decide on that. If He allowed, I would follow.
I have proven it time and time again that He will never leave me nor forsake me in times of trouble.
Here's what I want to leave you today, "Be strong and take courage, do not fear or be dismayed. For the Lord will go before you and His light will show the way."
Until next design,
