I was RIGHT! (or rather the person I got the info from on Youtube about Spoonflower was right!)
They ARE removing the requirement to pay for samples of every pattern before putting it on sale (see screenshot). Having said that I might still go ahead with the "fill-a-yard" option because I think it will help me learn more about surface pattern design. Either way it's good news.
Wondering what I'm talking about?
In my most recent video https://youtu.be/AEfqq8mEOm8?si=95IK6... I set up a new income stream on Spoonflower using Repper (pattern-making tool) and spoke about filling up my shop with designs ready for January when the sample requirement is dropped. I haven't gone any further with it this week because I've been a bit poorly and have concentrated my energy on dispatching parcels for my reselling business instead.
But I am feeling better now so these are my plans:
1. Make a video focused on researching and creating Art Deco designs with Repper 2. Create a shop banner and logo 3. Upload 25 of the best Repper-made Art Deco designs to my shop
I will create videos for as much of this process as I can because I know a lot of you are interested in doing the same thing. Those of you who have purchased Repper using my affiliate link (thank you x) will want to get your money back as quickly as possible by selling some patterns, so if you'd like to follow along with me then please do and we can chat in the comments about how things are going after every video release. My next recording day is Tuesday so all being well there will be a Repper/Spoonflower video Weds or Thurs.
If you're looking at making Art Deco scrapbook paper for Amazon KDP a lot of this video will still be relevant.
Here's my affiliate link for a discount on Repper again, though to be clear it is no longer Black Friday so the discount is 25%. Please also be extra EXTRA careful to enter the discount code before entering your card details and making payment. I know at least 3 people got caught out by this and had to email Repper to get a partial refund - it's easily done, I nearly did it myself when I signed up with a discount code!
Use this link: repper.app/?via=melanie Enter this discount code: SPARROWSDISCOUNT to get 25% off a yearly plan (follow the sign-up process VERY carefully so you don’t miss where to enter the discount code!)
Also next week I'm launching my newsletter on Substack which will have a blend of written, video and podcast content, but more on that in another post!
