in 2022 I made almost 20 000 sales on
Amazon merch on demand alone and about
half of those sales came from text-based
designs
a big part of success when it comes to
Tech space designs is font selection and
in today's video I'm going to give you
my top five font recommendations based
on what I actually use that actually
makes sales
available on Creative Fabrica and I'm
going to link to all them in the
description so let's get right to it
[Music]
first I wanted to share two things
really quickly if you're on Windows this
is how you install a font after you
download it so hit your Windows key
type font and then drag and drop your
font files where it says drag and drop
to install and that's it that's all you
have to do
second a lot of times when you're
browsing fonts on Creative Fabrica they
the designer of the font gets to upload
a depiction of the font typically in a
way that looks a lot better than what it
looks like when you just use it right
out of the box all right so sometimes
what you see in that picture is not
exactly what you're going to get at
least not with the default settings I
just wanted to make you aware of that if
it happens to you it's not that you did
anything wrong oftentimes there's some
additional customizations required now
the first font I wanted to recommend
I'll actually show you how you can do
some of these customizations uh font
number five so I'm doing them in reverse
order my font number one is my premium
like go-to font from creative Fabrica
font number five out of five is Good
Vibes and what I like about this one
specifically is that notice where it
says Duo font
it actually gives you both components to
replicate what you see in that photo
so right out of the box though if you
just have black text on a white
background you're gonna see what you see
in the top half of my Photoshop canvas
right here
it's just kind of some I don't want to
say ugly but it's just some like bubbly
uh and by the way you know in terms of
like what designs you use this for I
mean use your imagination obviously the
60 70 style like vintage retro I don't
know what to call them like 60 70s kind
of bubbly retro style
um designs this goes hand in hand with
those I don't necessarily like when I'm
using it I'm typically using it in more
of the you know if you guys remember
like the best sellers that were big last
year and a lot of them had very similar
kind of color schemes uh I don't know
how to describe it other than
complementary to what I would consider
to be that font family in that era of
like 60s 70s so this like gradient pink
is not really the colors I would use
them in but I just wanted to mention
that if you see it looking really good
in the photo but then when you use it
it's just like
meh it's just it's just boring well try
matching it to what you see in the photo
so when I applied the pink gradient I
got that and then I said okay well
what's missing I look at the original
photo in Creative Fabric and I'm like oh
there's some text in the middle and if
you guys look at Etsy a lot of designs
not that these don't do well on Amazon
too but on Etsy specifically this sort
of like Duo approach to text only
designs where you can have the big
bubbly text in the background and the
script font in the middle font number
four is called sporty grunge and this is
probably more of like a me font I don't
know how many of you guys go after the
um like athletic niches for me it's kind
of sticking to what I know and for me
it's it's even more Niche down than that
I am pretty public that I love me some
NFL football some fantasy football for
me it's more like a year-round thing and
I love going into the fantasy football
niches that I think are fun no I'm not
infringing on the NFL but football as a
sport in fantasy football as its own you
know hobby or whatever it's called I
don't know what to call fantasy up all
these days but uh as its own thing you
know there's lots of different ways to
attack it and having a nice font that
fits the overall Vibe is a must I would
say it also just makes your life easier
to have a font that kind of fits the
theme of whatever you know Niche you're
serving so sports or sporty grunge is
number one it's a sporty font it's got
the athletic look to it but also I love
distressed grunge pattern fonts I love
them because I think they sell by the
way it's not just if they didn't sell I
wouldn't tell you I love them I love
them because I've been using them for
years and they're making me sales so
this combines those two and I'm all
about it and again I'll link if you guys
want direct links to these fonts so you
can just go click and download them
because I know a lot of you guys use
creative Fabrica I'll drop a link to
them in the description
font number three this is called school
and chalk and I've been using this for a
long time my initial rollout of my
online courses
I made like a little kind of thumbnail
for my um course videos and it used this
font so that's what I'll what I always
initially think of when I see it but I
just like it because for
targeting like young school age kids
which if unless you guys have been
living under a rock a lot of sales take
place for school as a niche but also
kids like kids and teachers let's be
real it's like the two sides of it but
um the designs that Target kids I feel
like often kids aren't the ones buying
the shirts it's the parents and the
parents like I don't because as a kid I
don't even know if I would like this
font but I feel like parents that are
doing the shopping for the kid in the
kid Niche the kid themed design uh they
love these like we're not that far from
the hundred days of school Niche being
huge and a lot of designs that were
selling pretty well were using this
exact font all right it's it's not a
coincidence
all right before we get to font number
two and font number one a quick reminder
I have a free print on demand mini
course redesigned for 2023 relaunched so
take advantage of that uh it's linked in
the description and check out my print
on demand Facebook group it's also down
there
font number two is called hello font
it's just called hello
I don't know what what really to say
about this font I think everybody that
is doing design regularly
needs a good script font in their
toolkit for me after trying I don't know
how many different script fonts you just
kind of gotta find some that you like
that fit whatever design style you're
you're trying to um to create when you
use script fonts like for me I don't use
script fonts all the time but when I do
I like to just kind of know which one is
my go-to
um I actually have a plug at the end of
this video for Juna detour shirts you
guys know detour shirts friend of the
channel uh because he is a professional
graphic designer so whereas like I have
my five go-to fonts and I don't really
need that many fonts as go-to's I like
to keep things simple make it easy on
myself
he probably has like 500 fonts memorized
all right and actually I mean I do have
a bunch of fonts memorized from when I
was a web developer but they don't
translate into print on demand so
they're up here but I'm not using them
with print on demand I don't think they
translate well but they look good on
websites a lot of them so anyways hello
font is like my go-to script font and if
I'm doing more of like a bubbly uh girly
design is it safe to say that anymore I
don't know I'm probably gonna lean
towards like the hello font as like my
go-to for a script font
all right and then font number one
probably comes as no surprise if
anybody's been subscribed to my channel
I've been using the Edmund texture font
so the Edmund font but when you download
the admin font guys there is one
variation that's textured all right it's
got the distressed factor it's a nice
big bold easy to read distressed which
we know I can't say we know definitively
but like for sure I have a strong lean
that using a distressed font in the
right circumstances
um in this case like a text only design
like I'm assuming by the way when I'm
talking about these contextually that
it's like mostly going to be used in
text only designs but also it doesn't
have to be text only you can use any of
these fonts I just shared uh in
combination with Graphics but like the
admin font to this day still works like
if I go look at my Amazon merch sales
like on my side monitor that's where I
keep my my merch
um I bet you I've made probably minimum
right now today probably at least bare
minimum five sales using admin font like
five is literally the absolute low end
by the end of the day it's probably like
15 sales out of the 40 or 50 merch sales
I'll make today so admin font comes with
like my highest recommendation if not
for any other reason that it works isn't
that why we're here we want to make
sales so uh no need to second guess
things when you got a good thing going
just go back to the well and I just keep
going back to this well
so I'll link to that in the description
as well if you guys want to check it out
uh detour shirts shout out to him friend
of the channel Juna he is a professional
graphic designer he's everything I'm not
when it comes to design so I'm gonna
drop a link to his channel in case you
guys want to go over there because he's
like 10 times the designer I am
um but of course like I'm still out here
making sales so hopefully that can at
least inspire you that if you're not a
great designer it's okay and if you
don't have a bunch of time to like
either make your own Graphics or find
good graphics do text only it's better
than nothing and don't forget last thing
I'm gonna say before I leave
an unfilled upload slot whether it's on
merch Etsy wherever Amazon Redbubble an
unfilled upload slot does not make any
sales so get out there and fill your
upload slots even if it's simple text
only designs with the admin font all
right sorry if you can hear the dogs in
the background I'm currently watching
five micro Chihuahuas so pray for me I
got like four hours of sleep last night
