hey what's up guys in today's video
we're gonna take a look at some print on
demand fonts this is one of those topics
that i like to keep circling back to you
guys know i like to sell a lot of well i
like to sell a lot of shirts in general
but i like to sell shirts the easy way
and for me an easy way to sell shirts is
to do text-only designs somehow there's
still not that many people that do just
text and when i do my research
obviously you know the really skilled
graphic designers and their awesome
graphics tend to make their way to the
top of results you know these e-commerce
platforms they do typically let the
cream rise to the top
but that doesn't mean you can't be
successful with text-only designs also i
like to be a little contrarian so if a
lot of people are doing research and
seeing the kind of same similar take on
a design which typically includes a
graphic and everybody's kind of in line
with that level of thinking because it
works well
sometimes i'm cool with just capturing
fewer sales because i'm gonna zig while
everybody else zags and do a text only
version of the design now a text-only
version
you still need to make it look good
which can mean you know any number of
things there's a bunch of different ways
to actually do text-only designs and it
it's more than just you know one line of
text typing in and uh you know exporting
it and uploading it so in this video
we're gonna look into some of my
favorite fonts and that's pretty much it
how to use them how i would use them in
various designs i've got some examples
queued up so let's get started
[Music]
this video is going to be dedicated to
helping you make good choices when it
comes to your print on demand designs
and using fonts i don't know about you
but
virtually all of mine that i do
involve using text because i'm not a
strong graphic designer so i can't just
you know do a graphic that's so good it
sells itself so i include a lot of text
in my designs
when i think of fonts i think of
creative fabrica they have 82 000 fonts
available on their platform that is
overkill i'm not going to show you 82
000 fonts in this video i'm going to
show you roughly like 10 of my favorite
ones of course now there's different
fonts and font styles and usages based
on the niche or the vibe of the design
you're making so even 10 is like you
know i i don't know what the sweet spot
is because when i when i pick 10 i'm
thinking of the typical design style
that works for me that i like to do so
i'm going to show you some of those in
this video and i'm going to show you
like actually design examples that i
would do but i did want to let you know
really quickly up front that they're
running a promotion in february where
you can join for a dollar and you can
cancel at any time all right it's a
dollar for the first month after that if
you decide to keep your subscription
it's 35 off so it's actually a really
good deal you get access to the fonts
you get access to over 350 000 print on
demand assets like pre-made graphics uh
embroidery designs
lots of things access to various tools
i'm actually going to show you
the two tools that i really like most
i've been playing around a lot with
their font cloud which is in beta and
this is cool because well they actually
list it out right here it's free it's
fast you can quickly search your fonts
now here's the thing
you have to actually like upload your
fonts to the font cloud but this is
actually good because you can see right
here behind me
it backs up your fonts so if we work on
multiple computers hey you can go to log
into creative fabrica and all of my
favorite fonts or maybe all my favorites
and some that i'm not you know that
aren't my favorites but again you upload
them so you manage the whole library you
can just access them immediately you can
just download them right there and what
i really like is over there all the way
to the left on the bottom row you can
view all of the fonts so if you're like
alright i know i'm going to make a
design but what was that one font called
that i used last week that i loved but i
don't remember the name well just log
into font cloud it's going to list the
names of the fonts and it's going to
render text in that font so you'll know
it right away when you see it so it's
actually really useful guys here's an
example so i uploaded uh like 30 of my
favorite fonts and you can see right
away just at a glance like i'm starting
to get a vibe a look a feel for if this
is the font that i'm looking for if it's
not you can kind of tell that i'm not a
big fan of like the script fonts i think
it requires a lot of talent uh to pull
those off and i don't it's not that i
don't think i can it's just
to me it requires time as well whereas
if i just have my standard go-to
thick bold fonts that i know are gonna
show well uh in search results when
we're selling online as opposed to
selling in a store if i was designing
for selling in a store i would honestly
take different approaches um you guys
already know that you all my subscribers
know that uh but anyways this font cloud
thing really cool great idea uh and it
works everything that i just said it
works it's extremely easy like if you're
thinking there's some learning curve to
set it up no no drag drop upload your
fonts you see them right here then you
can click one from the list and you know
i clicked one here called super magic
was the font name and i typed i love
cartoons and boom i get to preview the
font but it was also already rendering
here at the you kind of see underneath
my finger here above my finger it was
already like letting us preview it as
well in the main view i don't know
what's called main dashboard so
extremely easy to use utility hopefully
easy to understand and this would just
come with your subscription in addition
you know the reason why you'd probably
really want to consider subscribing
is they have a whole font section of the
website i mentioned a second ago 82 000
fonts and counting
okay so massive massive massive
selection
and they always look super cool when you
actually preview the fonts on the font
page
they don't just kind of show you the
font that you're gonna get they show you
it with special effects applied so i get
like super excited every time i see a
font that looks like this but then you
actually use it and you realize like
okay when i'm typing it's not gonna be
3d by default that's a special effect
that you have to go in and apply
yourself or you know the awesome
uh gradient overlay the background with
the like gold dust specs
yeah you have to do all those yourself
that being said it's still a cool font
um now my execution here in these first
examples i'm going to show you
i mean they're not that great all right
i kind of rushed rushed them out but a
couple ones that i'll show you after
this came out a little bit better so uh
i was looking for like niches for
cartoons and i don't know if like amazon
is just suppressing the cartoon niche in
general or what but i couldn't find like
actual niches but either way i just
wanted to kind of demo how i might go
about making designs here so i did some
like alternating of font families here
and ultimately used the super magic font
there at the bottom just for the word
cartoons um this is very basic i'd
probably go in and like switch some
colors up
i made another one here i was just kind
of experimenting says eat sleep cartoons
repeat i don't absolutely love how this
design came out i mean this is kind of
like me making fun of people that do a
bad job designing and then cranking out
some designs that i don't think are that
great in the first place but um
sometimes you know these videos do take
a long time to prep and that's kind of
my excuse for these first two but i have
some better ones i'm going to show you
in a second uh so also i wanted to make
another design
and i kind of put this slide out of
order but i also wanted to show you that
creative fabric does come your
subscription with access to various
graphics made by graphic design
professionals by the way without a
subscription you can still pay for
access to a font or graphics etc but the
subscription tends to you know if you
actually use the assets on this website
tends to be a better deal especially
when you get 35 off using the you know
the link in the description that'll get
you to the special february
promotion
so
this font uh i used in combination all
right you see what i'm going for here
i've got one of those you know rainbows
that seems to sell so well in merch by
amazon at a minimum when we're doing the
top five niches of the week how often do
we see these weird style rainbows you
know we just saw a bunch of them for the
100 day
of school niche so i grabbed one of
these rainbows all right i used this
cute rita font um i guess the person who
made his name brita or maybe this like
animated person that they paired it with
is named rita anyways
so i went ahead into photoshop and you
know let's let's take a look at this one
i think this design looks a little bit
better than those first two that i made
that were pretty darn ugly
uh and i used the same
um what was the name of that font super
why can't i think of it i always want to
call it super cartoons but i know it's
not that yeah super magic font it's the
super magic cartoon font got it all
right super magic
so i use super magic at the top 100 days
use the rainbow graphic that just
crushes it on merch by amazon for
whatever reason like year round in a
bunch of evergreen niches you know what
it is i think it's designs geared
towards kids
those tend to crush and teaching
it kind of goes hand in hand uh anyways
and then i use the cute rita all right
did i get that right yep cute read a
font i i never want to call it the wrong
thing cute read a font at the bottom
there for smarter all right so we just
paired the two fonts had a little bit of
colors that contrasted well with each
other in the whole color scheme also
contrast well against the black
background
this design is extremely easy to make
and we already know this approach this
style right here
works
in more than just the 100 days of school
niche which i think is honestly behind
us based on my looking at the research
tools today so
let's see what the next one is that's
coming you know use this for valentine's
day niches you just you just literally
swap the text in and out so change 100
days to something else change smarter to
something else anyways just wanted to
show you guys that i'm never really
thinking in terms of like one design
like i would save this as a template
come back later edit it for another
niche okay because the people that are
buying our shirts they don't say oh the
person who made that shirt that i bought
last month is now in another niche
nobody sees that you know what i mean
the only person that knows that is you
so use that to your advantage if you
have a formula that works this is a
great way just templatize it a couple
more quick font suggestions you guys
know i love edmond texture i've talked
about this font before but it's just a
easy distressed font
for truly text-only designs by the way
but if i'm doing just a quick text-only
design edmond texture is like typically
the first one that pops into my mind uh
here i'm using it in conjunction with a
graphic of like a t-rex baby and it's
kind of meant to look like it's pulling
on your shirt as you wear it and it says
i steal hearts we know that that one
sells really well this time of year
around valentine's day
i've got some other ones that are just
kind of like big thick bold that is my
preference for fonts as i like to have i
like to design in a way where if i'm
going to include text which i already
mentioned i do in the vast majority of
my designs if not all of them i want it
to be easily read
from search results which typically
means making it big and bold easy to
spot easy to read alright so
i like fonts like this asphalt crack big
bold um the boldness race is this i
don't know what to call it other than a
racy font like it looks like it's like
italic and it looks like it's traveling
at a high speed so if you're doing
anything race related um this would be a
great font and again very easy to find
on creative fabrico with the keyword
search type in like racing font and
you'll find it
just another one here bold vibes kind of
a bold you know big bold font as you
would expect got the word bold in the
name but a relaxed
vibe to it you know if you want to do
like a beachy or vacationy themed design
you might consider this and i might
consider also applying some tropical
colors to it you know it's not going to
actually come out when you're using it
looking like a shadow you know what i
mean when they're mocking up the actual
title card for the fonts
which they typically do put a lot of
effort into because it's how they sell
the fonts honestly uh
you know they're gonna do some special
effects
another one called bold strum and you
can see here that they've gone in and
reduced the s the width between i forget
what it's called kerning i think kerning
uh they reduce the ver the horizontal
spacing between letters i believe it's
called kerning unless i'm
forgetting but you can control that in
pretty much all the graphic design
software that you use typically
uh and as we know just one last reminder
as i wrap the video up guys that you
know here's three different t-shirts
that all say the exact same thing in the
exact same font in the exact same niche
all right now why is one of them going
to outperform and sell better than the
others
yeah exactly because the one behind me
here highlighted
big bold easy to read simple principle
it's not like this is the only way to
succeed guys but
if you can just make logical sense of
something and say hey this is kind of
something that i can do that not
everybody else does
that there is
it's easy to understand why it tends to
work better than the alternatives which
you can see right here all next to each
other so i love using this example right
they're all the same niche same design
same font all that stuff just different
font size so hopefully this resonates
with you guys hopefully you learned
something oh yeah as i you know wrapped
the video did also want to remind you
guys that with a subscription you get
access to the word cloud tool this is
absolutely amazing worth the cost of
admission extremely easy to use you can
customize it very easily the shape the
colors the fonts so as you can see here
i changed the font since this is a font
video you can change the shapes though
as i mentioned
and this is already being used in a
massive upcoming trend that is black
history and lots of sub niches within
there but these are some bestsellers i
didn't have to look very far to find
word cloud designs in the black history
niche so guys just so much potential
february is going to be a great month i
hope you guys get after it i hope you
make good font selections good color
selections by the way because check out
the color in these font uh these designs
too
really impressive there so guys thank
you for watching this video quick
reminder i do have a full print on
demand course full
and it teaches everything i mean my
exact process to scale from nothing to
six figures annually in print on demand
sales links in the description thank you
guys for watching please like subscribe
all that good stuff and i'll see you
tomorrow with a new video
