* Examples & case studies of businesses that I enjoy (such as Print On Demand ecommerce businesses) and sharing my tips & strategies I've learned along the way.
* Examples & case studies of other businesses that entrepreneurs love running (even if I personally wouldn't find it fun myself!)
* Plus a sprinkle of entrepreneurial motivation thrown in too!
I hope my actionable content can help you: whether you're running your own online business, or are in the process of building one, and want some tactical advice to help you along the way. If that is you, subscribe today! 🔥

Midjourney or DALL-E… which do you agree with? 🤔
Midjourney
I use both, but Midjourney more. DALL-E is good for some of its features though
Midjourney. What good are all the creative bells and whistles DALL-E came up with if they won’t let you be creative?
Neither. Stable diffusion all the way. Locally hosted, no restrictions and no cost
Wow, appreciate your updates, thank you!
And I appreciate you for your support, thank you! 🌞
As always, good stuff. I’ve gotten out of the print on demand because i could not ever get any sales but AI has always given me inspiration on things i could do. Now that it’s integrated with printify, i may look into it further ( especially due to the 2024 calendars)
There are so many untapped opportunities with the calendars – especially the wall calendars!
Another fantastic video Sarah and I think i might get into print on demand mobile phone cases since there is so much money to be made out of them. Love 🥰 the video and love 💞 Sarah.
Thank you! Your support means a lot! 🌞🌞🌞
Thank you for all the updates! I just started researching POD, and AI designs. You simplify things and explain them Thank you!
Thank you. And also: congratulations on taking action! 🥳
I’m glad you brought up the censorship of images. I currently use Leonardo AI which I love but they too are censoring now. I sometimes do content on Elon Musk and would like to have an image (which is clearly AI generated) on my thumbnail. Now I can’t generate those images. I’m thinking of switching to Mid journey.
Midjourney has a lot less, moderation, so it might work best for you! With so many copyright lawsuits against ai companies it is not surprising to me to be honest that it has lead to this 🫠
@Wholesale Ted Mage, too, has started censoring some prompts with celebrity names
I’m not surprised. I use Leonardo too because of this comfy interface. And canvas are great. But for some time I started to generate on my own machine using SDXL. Sure. It’s not that fast. But it’s not limiting me at all. I could do even really dirty stuff if I’d like to.
Well, the celebrity image is not public domain. Sure you could take an image yourself, otherwise you’d need to pay someone to use theirs.
Printify’s AI image editor sounds interesting to me!
Hmm I find most AI images need some individual editing so I’m not convinced things like 4x upscale in midjourney and printify images are that useful. I did make a couple of things in Kittl using their AI generator that worked out so maybe I’m being overly cautious
I don’t use AI images for complex pictures. I personally use it to create simpler vector graphics. These have a lot less mistakes and so requires a lot less editing!
Great summary report of the news! Really informative and timely. Thank you, Sarah!
Thank you! And thank you for supporting the channel 🙏
Mentioning celebrity names or copyrighted names in your prompt is probably the reason it is being banned!
Oh that is absolutely why the Tom Hanks one was not allowed. I am much more sympathetic to that one, compared to my first prompt that got moderated, haha
I sort of understand them trying to limit celebrity specific images to avoid legal actions. I know Disney is quick to sue anyone that encroaches on thier brand but blocking an image in “Disney art style” is lame. That’s like the difference of asking for it in surreal art style or Salvador Dali style. Nevermind they aren’t ashamed of stealing his name for thier program.
Yeah I am sure it is because of the onslaught of copyright lawsuits against ai companies. Even if they win, they are expensive to deal with in the first place!
No one can legally block an image just for same style – just a heads up!
I love you, Sarah! ❤️🌟🍀 Thanks for the updates 💯
It should not censor it, but if AIs are so smart, why can’t they generate “safe” images??
Because the company that owns the AI app, and pays the developers to write the code for their AI app, have to tell them what to add or avoid.
The decisions on what is considered “safe” has probably changed multiple times since the creation of the various AI apps, and so the easiest and less costly way is to just disallow whatever the current circumstances dictate until the next app update.
For example, if Disney got after an AI app developer about their IP being illegally used to make images that people were using on products that they sell online in MANY markets, it is less costly for Disney to go to the source and ask the developer of the AI app to disallow their users to request Disney style and Disney related artwork, than it is for Disney to pay many people to patrol all those marketplaces and sellers and request take-downs of their IP.
Fantastic stuff as always, Sarah. I also love your passion when you explain these events in extensive detail. Makes me listen intently. Thank you again.
Thank you! I absolutely love making these videos and so I appreciate that you have noticed 🙏
I’m really tired of these AI art creators deciding, after the fact, what is allowable and what is not. Then they can’t decide if the art we create with their software is ours or theirs. When I buy a tube of paint from the craft store, the manufacturer doesn’t try to control my painting. When I buy an art class from Udemy, they don’t try nd tell me what types of painting I can apply their techniques to. So, if you want that much control over my art, then just hire me as your artist. I’ll paint whatever you want.
Printful’s may be around a dollar more however their subscription is $4 less a month. The shipping price is the same tho, which I was surprised about because Printify usually has much higher shipping rates.
Thanks, Sarah! The Printify AI Image Generator is awesome!
The printify thing sounds interesting. I might try that.
Love your content. And will be getting your book.
You have so much knowledge. I’m an artist. And a lot of AI comes out looking weird. But can give you ideas as well as be used as a template
Hey Sarah, can you please clarify my doubt? Are the images generated by dalle-3 through bing free for commercial use /print on demand?
I love your devotion and your dedication!! I’m looking for a software that will let me loose the box look. Maybe a fade of the image into the shirt
