Can I upload 1 same design into four platforms? Or I have to make a new design each platform?

i have just over 400 designs and I am tier 4000. Honestly, I should be tier 20k but I stopped uploading anything years ago so I don’t fill the quota of 80% of the slots filled to move up.

I only used Photoshop. Get your designs on all the platforms possible so you get multiple paydays.

You can upload across all platforms. In fact that's something I recommend that you should be doing.




Yes. For a few months I was just collecting 500/m without having to upload anything further. With a well diversified portfolio of designs the income will keep up. If you focus on evergreen niches that is.



Step 1: Learn how to do keyword research
Step 2: Find a good designer or learn the necessary skills to make your own
Step 3: Get ready to grind a lot. Spend hours and hours of doing tedious monotonous work with no immediate payoff.
Step 4: Understand that at any moment and time your accounts will get shut down because you're at the mercy of another platform. Be prepared for that and have backups ready.




I'd say 1000-2000 dollars is a good start to crack at it. You don't need to spend anything if you know how to make your own designs. Lyrics? No. Quotes? Probably no. Writings? Check if the work is still copyrighted or not. The works that have entered public domain is fair game. Like bible verses is one example of that.

Oh I got 1 more.. can you use the same quotes as other people but have a different design? As long as it's not copyrighted right?

Do you think POD with clothing will work or it is "has been"?
Also congratulations on your $500!

If it's from a movie or tv show then no. It's from a artist no. If it's from a historic figure or anything that is fair use? Yes.



I firmly believe POD works. Just have to build your own competitive edge.



On Teepublic and Redbubble I enable all possible product options. T shirts are not the only things that get sold for me.



JV with someone who is in a supported country list. It's possible to earn from other platforms outside of MBA.

For the inquiries about getting a MBA account from a provider. I cannot say. It's not on BHW. I'm not allowed to facilitate transactions with people who do not have a BST thread. Nor am I willing to endorse or risk my name on it. I may or may not start a BST in the future about selling MBA accounts but I'm pretty sure I won't. So you guys will have to find a provider on your own.
