Hi all, just wanted to share my excitement for my first sale just now! Not a bad one either, a Framed A4. I opened my shop 12 days ago, so wasn’t expecting one so soon, really pleased! Anyone else who’s just starting out and maybe a bit sceptical, it works! Thanks to the PS boys and the community here for the support.

I’ve had a print in production for 2 full days now, it needs to be dispatched on Etsy by the end of today, usually print shrimp doesn’t take this long. Is there a delay in printing or something? It’s only being shipped to the UK

Got my first sale 10 days in. Can’t believe the profit margin/revenue for posters versus traditional POD items. Thank you guys for all your help!

Has anyone actually seen one of their prints in real life? I’ve launched a shop this week and intrigued to see what they look like. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/MelonPrintsStudio

Apologies if I've not got to this yet, I've been trying to work through the questions asked in here working through a couple pages per day to see what's already been asked. I've just got a couple to ask please. 1. I just used Upscayl and upscaled a picture I took on an iPhone - I set it to standard 4x, it took around 18 mins. When it had competed, I could see it had gone from 4284x5712 to around 17000x22000. A fair few of my images at the moment are pictures I've taken, before I start making Ai ones. Was the amount of pixels I already had enough to make A0 without the Upscayl in this case? I'll see if I can check it before putting them through the software if so, or would it still have needed to be upscaled for A0? 2. I've built a filing system, got a basic excel tracker and given the files in my system my SKU names, at the moment they're basic and just DD-0001, as an example, next step will be taking the pictures and making the mock ups. To save time I was going to start off using some form of a bulk mock up and get to grips with it from the start. I'm using Canva, happy to pay for it if needed and in Canva pro. I've tried having a look at some YouTube videos - what I'm looking for is to create almost a mock up template, so that I just select a new piece of art for a new listing and it snaps into all the mockups in that template in one go, rinse and repeat - is that doable? Anyone use anything else that comes close to being that easy and uses Canva for creating their art? All help much appreciated - hoping to try and get a couple posters up by the weekend, just trying to take my time putting the right things in place as I go, to avoid issues later on down the line.
