printful is giving away
five thousand dollars in their printful
jackpot
promotion now this was news to me i
don't remember how i first
stumbled upon this but upon doing some
research they've actually been
running it since i think 2019 was the
furthest back i had found
a record of it thanks for participating
in our first printful jackpot we have
about 50 customers who earned the
maximum number of points and today we
are going to randomly select three lucky
winners
i'm trying to take advantage of this
jackpot opportunity because essentially
they're incentivizing us to be
successful as printful sellers
to enter a raffle if you are successful
in completing certain tasks
to then be eligible to win this uh our
share
of this five thousand dollar prize which
is actually there's four prizes up for
grabs
and i'm gonna teach you everything you
need to know how to knock out
all of the tasks for this printful
jackpot so let's go
quick reminder i run a weekly print on
demand giveaway two lucky winners are
gonna split over a thousand dollars in
prizes to enter it's completely free
just use the link in the description
give me your email and this week
is sponsored by flying upload print on
demand upload automation automate pod
print on demand
design creation automation and all
american graphics
also in the description there's a link
to my free 8 day print on demand mini
course to help you get set up with the
printful etsy integration which is
actually really useful for what i'm
going to cover in this video
so take advantage of that and my print
on demand facebook group if you want to
join
all right let's go over this printful
jackpot now first things first you need
to sign up for printful it's completely
free you don't need to give any payment
details or anything
like that to sign up and you only really
ever need to pay them
if you've made a sale and if you've made
a sale you should be making a profit
so you pay printful and then they ship
the product to your customer
and you collect the profit you collect
the difference after you subtract what
you paid printful
so i'll leave a link to sign up for
printful and i'll leave a link in the
description
to the printful jackpot page for those
of you guys that are already
uh you have printful accounts all you
have to do is click sign me up
now once you're signed up and i'm going
to go basically go through
how this works what this is at least my
understanding of it like i haven't seen
the full cycle yet
but at this point i've basically done
everything every task
to make me eligible for the grand prize
so this is straight from the jackpot
page printful perks
are earned by completing printful
challenges and i've been talking about
printful perks since a couple months ago
when i first saw it on my printful
dashboard
basically again they're just
incentivizing you to be successful
because printful
because they're free they only make
money when we make money which is an
awesome business model by the way
because then they're invested in our
success
and printful perks just reward you for
making sales they essentially give you
like 5 or 10 bucks a month
for free in the form of coupons
uh the three main prizes will go to the
store owners with the highest growth
during the jackpot the bonus prize goes
to the store owner registered in 2021
with the most
orders during the jackpot all right
that's interesting to note because that
makes it sound like it changed a little
bit from what we saw in 2019
um and i mean again like we'll see how
this actually plays out this is my first
real year participating
so either the three main prizes are
going to go to people with the highest
growth
which essentially would incentivize you
to take that free mini course that i
just showed you
get your etsy store open and get as many
sales as possible because if you're
going from nothing to something that's
bigger growth
than me making you know three four five
thousand dollars in sales in a month if
i did that last month
uh and then the bonus prize which is 500
goes to the store owner registered in
2021
with the most orders during the jackpot
so um if it's a new store from 2021
that'd be cool but if it's a new account
then i don't think i'd be eligible
anyways
uh here are the prizes so complete
all six printful challenges marked with
the jackpot badge
on printful dashboard and then register
on this page
to win up to three thousand dollars
transferred to your printful wallet
so essentially that just means you're
getting printful to fulfill your your
orders for free
until you use up that money from the
printful wallet
so best newcomer 2021 gets 500 in a
special bonus prize
uh first place takes home three thousand
dollars
that is pretty nice uh second place one
thousand dollars and third place right
here behind me
500 bucks so what are the challenges
and i've got a breakdown a more in-depth
breakdown than this but let's read this
at a high level right now so the first
one is to add
a new product to your store the second
one
explore printful on social media third
subscribe to the printful blog four
get five international sales
five add an eco product to your store
and six leave a product review so all
those
some of them are harder than others
but pretty straightforward definitely
doable
all right so let's look at a breakdown
here
so this is the first challenge it is
called
getting the hang of it by the way you
get 800 points for completing this which
again you can redeem so even if you
don't win the uh
and by the way just so you guys know
like printful didn't like email me and
say hey can you do a video about this or
anything like that
i wish they had told me that this thing
even existed i don't remember how i
stumbled upon it but i'm pretty sure
nobody at printful even reached out and
said like hey can you promote this for
us so
just so you know this is organic this is
just me wanting to share this with
you guys um so the first one getting the
hang of it those 800 points you get
i'm pretty sure that's worth over five
dollars in coupons
i think 800 is typically what you get in
a month when it comes to the
perks so that could be worth up to 10
bucks actually um
i can check after this but the perks
alone are awesome and you get
perk points just for doing this even if
you don't win the grand prize
so essentially you just need to get 10
orders
this month that have been shipped out so
essentially like i've
got way more than 10 orders they just
haven't been shipped out yet from
february
so i'm guessing that i could probably go
to that page right now hit refresh
and i would get this uh task marked as
complete
but you can get these through any
printful integration so
i always recommend like selling as many
places as possible sell on
amazon seller central sell on etsy sell
on ebay those be my three to prioritize
above the others
uh but i've definitely experimented with
some other ones i talked i did a video a
couple weeks ago talking about my
experience with printful
bonanza and printful wish um not that
great but you know what are you gonna do
all right next challenge it's called the
more you know so subscribe to the
printful blog get the latest ecommerce
news and earn points for doing so
so the printful blog that's pretty easy
to subscribe to and uh fun fact i was a
i had an article published on the
printful blog a really long like
in-depth i remember waking up at like i
don't remember why why did i wake up so
early i woke up at like
six in the morning maybe i told them i'd
have it to them by a certain date and i
felt like i was in school again with
like a deadline
i remember waking up super early to work
on that thing i made it as good as
possible
it was all about how to run ads on etsy
for your etsy printful store and then
naturally i think it was like a week
later maybe it was like a month later i
don't know it was very short timeframe
after it published
etsy overhauled the whole etsy ads thing
again
and made my whole article completely
useless like i was trying to see if it
was still on the printful blog it's not
there anymore or yeah i mean they
removed it but
my author page is still there so you
don't get an author page without being
published so
i you know it was real i probably have a
screenshot of it somewhere
but next challenge is called show and
tell so all you have to do is leave a
review for a product that you've ordered
now this one was one of the hardest ones
for me to complete because i could not
figure out
where to leave reviews like i could find
product reviews but i couldn't see
anything that said
leave a review and i think ultimately i
found where i could leave a review on a
product that i had ordered
on the printful dashboard so when you're
logged into printful on that left-hand
side you have a navigation
at the top it should say dashboard just
click that and then scroll down near the
bottom
and i think that's where i saw that i
could leave a review
and they restrict it to only products
that you've ordered so that one should
be easy to knock out now that you know
where to go to leave that review
next one full shelves
add push or sync one new product to your
integration storefront from each of the
of these product categories hats
accessories
mugs all over print shirts or leggings
and wall art so you know i sell hats all
day that one was easy
accessories i forget what did i
push i pushed uh i don't remember if i
pushed like a backpack
or like a fanny pack or something uh
anyway there's a lot of options when you
go to accessories like when you add a
new product in printful
on that screen you get a bunch of like
high-level categories you can just click
accessories and they have things like
flip-flops duffel bags backpacks
jewelry so a ton of stuff um mugs
i created a uh i so i made marielle my
girlfriend a bunch of
designs for her amazon merch account
because we're waiting for her to get
teared up to tier 500 so
i made her a bunch of like really good
designs the other day and i took one of
them and i uploaded it to
a coffee mug to get that one out of the
way because typically i sell mugs not
through printful but through
gear bubble because gear bubble has
significantly cheaper mugs but separate
story
um all over print shirts and leggings i
ended up doing two for some reason the
first
push that i did was a shirt and i don't
think it counted so then i did a second
print
or a second push and i did uh shorts
and again what i took one of those
designs that i made marielle and i did
like a pattern like
in printful you can do uh you can have
your design
scaled down and then repeated in a
pattern similar to what you can do in
redbubble
um so i just took advantage of that and
so i have a shirt now and some shorts
with a
funny design and i uh
did some wall art and again i took this
another one of those designs that i just
made here i don't typically spend that
much time on like manual designs but i
made a nice um
batch of designs for her by the way
she's dropping a video on her channel
today
talking about or maybe she'll drop it
tomorrow talking about her most
successful niche
in the last like two weeks or three
weeks where she's been seeing a lot of
sales recently and making some
decent profit so if you want to check
that out i'll put a link to her channel
in the description as well
anyways alright so i got those five
products added got 500 points
perk points and knocked out the uh
challenge
the full shelves challenge all right the
next one
green is the new black i think that's a
play on orange is the new black from
netflix just guessing so you can
just add any of those five products that
you see listed there the biodegradable
iphone case
to one of your stores the unisex
recycled t-shirt unisex organic t-shirt
unisex organic cotton t-shirt which is
the one that i
pushed to one of my stores and the
unisex pullover hoodie
i wanted to do the hoodie however that
thing was expensive if i remember
correctly it was like
35 or 40 bucks base cost so it's gonna
be tough to charge that much
for a uh for a hoodie and build in
profit on top of that
so i did the unisex organic cotton
t-shirt
stanley slash stella i forget what word
it said it had something like eco
it had it had a weird word on it at the
end i don't know i don't know if it was
the brand of the shirt
or whatnot i don't sell too many of the
eco-friendly stuff just because
the base price is pricey you know what i
mean and
i just don't know like if i was selling
my own if i was doing a shopify store
then that's something that's like a
value proposition that i feel like would
be
more compelling because i have to deal
with a lot less competition
on the shopify store i mean on shop if
it's my shopify store i'm competing with
myself there's nobody else i have to
worry about
but if i'm pushing to like amazon and
there's a ton of competition it's gonna
be really hard to justify
the higher price point especially
because in order to give the
justification they most likely have to
click the product in search results
where the price is visible they're less
likely to get that far
with the high price point so those are
my thoughts on the uh i mean if i sell
one i'll let y'all know but i'm not
planning on pushing too many more
so that's an easy challenge you get 200
points for that this one is called
international seller you need to ship to
five
different countries meaning you have to
have customers in five different
countries
and uh in order to get points all five
orders must have been shipped
this one i can see being probably the
hardest for you guys to finish up
and i don't actually look that closely
at where my customers are located but it
looks like i'll be able to knock this
out pretty quickly it's the fifth of
february and i've got four out of five
um knocked out so hopefully i'll get
that fifth one i do
sell on amazon.co.uk so i get
to sell to the european market and i
sell in the
us which i mean i could have a customer
in mexico i could have a customer in
canada
yes there are separate seller central
marketplaces for them but they can also
order from the us marketplace so
that one's probably gonna be the
toughest and the last one it's called
socializer
all you have to do is uh check it says
check us out on at least two of these
social media platforms now i remember
having to come back to this and do it
like three times before it actually
counted
so if you guys are having a similar bug
then um
you know maybe you have to redo it two
or three times but it ended up working
out as you can see there
so i got a hundred points for that and
that challenge is done
all right and then they have a
frequently asked questions also at the
bottom
i guess we can just breeze through it
real quick so how will you determine the
main prize winners
the first second and third place prizes
will go to store owners who
have completed all six printful
challenges marked with the jackpot badge
and have had the biggest growth
percentage during the jackpot contest
from january 27th to february 24th
how will you determine the bonus prize
winner the bonus prize will go to the
store owner who registered in 2021
has completed all six printful
challenges marked with the jackpot badge
and has the most sales during the
jackpot contest time from january 27 to
february 24th
how to enter printful jackpot after
you've completed all six jackpot
challenges which you can find in your
printful dashboard click the sign me up
button
so i already clicked that before i was
entered so i don't know if that's gonna
matter
how long will the printful jackpot
contest run runs through february 24th
and who can participate all registered
printful users can
enter the contest except users who are
legal residents of the state of rhode
island
australia and quebec that's random but
okay
and just a reminder guys when you do
these tasks
you get printful perk points so as you
can see there that one challenge i was
right remember
whichever one it was i forget it was
worth 800
and that is worth 10 that you can
apply to any of your orders to any of
your customers it'll just reduce the
base cost of that product by ten dollars
that you don't have to pay so that's
that's just putting ten bucks in your
pocket so
check that out if you don't know how to
find the perks again it's on your
printful dashboard it's
pretty much near the top so it's hard to
miss and that's it thanks for watching
guys quick reminder i have a full print
on demand course that will show you
how i make six figure print on demand
sales year over year printful is a big
part of that strategy
and uh it's like you're looking over my
shoulder and that's it guys thanks for
watching till the end
like subscribe and i'll see you soon
