21 Day Challange Tracking
Can anybody point me in the direction of how to update the trackers? The 'Daily Actions Checklist' mentions: 'Open the Master Tracker and enter your challenge start date' but I can't find that anywhere. Thanks in advance.

Finding competitors
How to find competities when you don’t have any sales yet? The list Alek is using in the video is only available when you have 20 sales and I don’t because I am building my shop. So… how to go about this?

Are you referring to looking for the competitors to figure out which variants to sell? That list on Printify is only available once you have a certain amount of sales. I'd look at some of the best-selling listings on Etsy selling that specific product. The products that you wanna sell and try and reverse engineer the options: the colors or sizes that they offer for sale. Hopefully that makes sense, let me know if it doesnt

@Pam Devine Exactly!!
Alternative to Photoshop
I'd like to share part of my workflow with the community. Instead of using Photoshop, and having to pay a monthly subscription, I use Affinity Studio. Studio essentially offers 90-95% of the functionality of Photoshop, but is FREE. It also has an InDesign and Illustrator competitor built in. There are some really great YouTube videos showing how to use Affinity, but I'm using it to generate Mock collections very quickly using a feature called Symbols, which are like Frames in Photoshop. Masks, transforms etc are easy to apply. I also use it, in conjunction with Kittl, to create designs, as the built in desktop publisher is more powerful at typography. Affinity was created by a British company called Seriff, which was sold to Canva last year. You can get it for Mac, PC and iPad. Here's a screenshot of one of my design templates. I import/drag the design into the template, make a couple of copies of it, place the design into the symbol artboards and all my mocks update. There are 8 symbol artboards in this template, 4 different sizes for the different Mocks, and 1 each for light and dark. I then export the lot to PNG. Takes about 5 minutes in total. Creating the template takes longer, but thats an upfront, one off time cost. Anyway, I hope you find this useful. I'm not an affiliate or anything, but thought it might be helpful to share. Oh, one last thing, you can import Photoshop plugins, but Alek's plug-in isn't recognised, never mind.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I've heard about this before, but I haven't used it. It looks like you have a pretty good system set up! I wonder how they keep it free. Also, is this mostly used for mock-ups or designing as well?
