Hey, what's up guys? It's Greg.
I haven't gotten a new camera yet,
but I'm going out shopping now, looking at some cameras.
I saw your suggestions.
A couple of you were suggesting the new DJI Pocket Osmo.
So, I'm gonna go check that out and see what it's like.
I've been watching a couple of videos about it,
listening to the audio very closely,
because I know that's not one of its strong suits.
So, if I'm gonna go in on that camera,
I need to make sure that the audio is going to be good.
Currently, I'm filming this on an iPhone 7,
and I know the audio on here is not amazing,
but the video quality is good enough for now.
So, I'm thinking about either going in on a brand new iPhone 10,
because I know the camera's better, and the audio is better or,
the Osmo pocket, or maybe just going in on a full separate camera.
I've been working on the home studio setup as well,
trying to get the Sony a72 with an external mic to work.
So, the video quality is going to be better.
I'm just figuring that out.
So, give me a little bit of time here,
and I'll have some better video quality for you guys.
But the topic of this video today is, I heard back from Teespring
with all those questions that you guys have been asking,
but I ask them for the inside scoop on it,
and they sent me a whole list that
they had made with custom answers for you guys.
These aren't things that were just pulled off the website.
So, I've got some good answers for you.
As I was going through that list,
and looking at the general answers that they had given,
there was one thing that jumped out to me, as by far the most important,
and that was in regards to the trust score.
So, this video is going to be all about key points of the trust score.
Without further ado, let's get right into this trust score.
The first thing is, not everyone has a trust score on Teespring.
If you just create an account,
you don't have a trust score yet.
If you just upload designs, and you haven't made any sales,
you don't even have a trust score yet.
So, Teespring assigns you a trust score when you do two things.
So, one, you have to make sales.
Once you make your first sales,
you're assigned to trust score,
Secondly, I didn't even know this myself.
You have to have your payment information entered and verified,
so, that you can get paid.
Those are the two steps to getting a trust score.
I didn't even know that second one there. So, that's a good one.
You have to have sales, one ,and you have to enter your payment information
and verify it, two, so that can be PayPal or Payoneer,
or however you're getting paid.
Now, a second thing that I kind of knew and assumed,
but wasn't confirmed on, that they had confirmed just now is that,
getting those initial sales.
They have to be legit.
That's why I always push social media to get other people to purchase
and make those legit first sales.
If you make those first purchases yourself, from the same IP,
which is your internet at your house,
then they don't count towards your trust score.
If you're going to different places,
I'm sure you could gain this. If you really wanted to,
you could go to different internet places,
and you could make purchases there,
and It would be on different IPs, but I wouldn't even risk it.
It's so easy to just do this on social media
and drive legit sales in the beginning,
but that's a one big thing is, making those purchases yourself
in the beginning doesn't count towards your trust score.
There's more. Everyone talks about how to build up your trust score,
but you can actually hurt your trust score,
and you can make your score lower by doing certain things.
So, they clarify what these things are specifically,
and they are mostly based around designing.
So, if you're breaking the design policies,
if you're using copyrighted content that hurts your trust score
and lowers it, so then you have to build it back up,
and the other thing is, if you're copying other people's designs
that are already on Teespring.
With that being said, that's another reason not to be that guy
that's just going on in stealing other people's designs,
and it also gives you a little bit of protection.
If you're the one that came up with a design,
knowing that if other people try to steal that design,
their trust score is going to suffer because of it,
and then the last part of this video is
really the benefits of having a good trust score on Teespring.
So, the first obvious answer here is,
people without a trust score on Teespring,
their shirts aren't going to show up in search results,
nearly as frequently as someone who has a built up trust score,
and that's the first thing.
That's the search results in the marketplace that is on Teespring.
But there's also the boosted network to talk about,
and this may even be more impactful
than the search results on Teespring itself.
So, the boosted network is what Teespring has been developing lately.
They've gotten over a half a million sales for
over 80,000 individual Teespring sellers.
They've gotten just from the boosted network
they've gotten these sales for,
and it costs you nothing else as a seller,
and what they do is, Teespring goes through,
and they choose shirts that they want to include in their boosted network,
and what that means is, they're going to pay to promote that
on Amazon,eBay, Walmart, Etsy
I think it's something like 7 different big sites
that they now include your campaigns on that
you can get sales from Teespring doing all of that promoting for you.
So, the sellers and the campaigns that they elect
to put into this boosted network are those with high trust scores.
That's a huge benefit of building up your trust score.
So, Teespring is also looking at the campaigns.
They're not going to start promoting something if it's really spammy
So, if you're putting in like limited-edition,
or limited time run or something,
that's just scammy,
and not really legit into your campaign titles and descriptions.
Teespring is not going to choose that campaign
to be featured in the boosted networks.
So, don't put anything spammy or scammy in the descriptions,
or the titles of your campaigns,
because they simply won't choose you to feature you,
and the other big thing here is,
Teespring, in the boosted network specifically,
is always looking for new seasonal content to be promoting there.
So, if you know that there's trends going on,
or Christmas is coming around the corner,
create designs related to that,
and you'll have a higher chance of being selected and promoted
throughout the boosted network.
So, keep that in mind when you're creating new designs,
and that'll give you a better chance of getting your designs
pushed through the boosted network from Teespring.
So guys, like I said,
I'm out right now going to look at some cameras.
So, hopefully, these videos that come soon will be really great quality.
But I wanted to get this content out to you,
and I've got pages more of information
that I'm gonna be putting into videos for you guys.
All that is coming soon.
So stay tuned guys. If you have any questions,
feel free to leave them in the comments.
I hope this helped you with Teespring,
understanding the trust scores, the benefits,
how to get your trust score up, and all of that.
So, you have any questions, let me know.
