How You Can Use MyDesigns and Merch Titans to Revolutionize Your Creative Process

You might be a busy creative who produces designs for POD marketplaces in your spare time. But, between your day job and a young family, you are finding it hard to truly get your POD career off the ground.

Perhaps you work on weeknights and weekends to release new designs at the quickest pace you can, but you never get the feeling you are keeping up with the superstar designers on marketplaces like Merch by Amazon, Etsy, Redbubble, and more.

If this is true, then you face a lot of the same problems many other part-time creatives must confront — you can't find the time to break through your current design production speed. You feel like you aren't maximizing the little time you have because there are just so many repetitive parts to your creative generation and uploading process.

In this article, we will talk you through how you can solve these problems with the help of two related creative automation systems. MyDesigns and Merch Titans will completely change your creative process for the better, and you will shoot up the rankings.

Introducing MyDesigns and Merch Titans

MyDesigns is a design and data management system that stores design files securely in a market-leading cloud-based Digital Asset Management System. MyDesigns is filled with useful features as well as a thriving community for POD enthusiasts.

MyDesigns was created to solve many of the creative workflow problems people like you have experienced in the POD and eCommerce space. It's a gamechanger for anyone who wants to take their business to the next level.

Merch Titans is a related system that automates bulk design uploads to leading POD marketplaces with simplicity and speed. The two systems are complementary and together create a solution for every aspiring POD creative who wants to get to the next level. Put simply, it's where the serious POD enthusiasts come to get things done.

Your Workflow Challenges

So far, your creative journey is not unlike many other creatives — you work with several marketplaces to sell designs for t-shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs and so much more. Over time, you've grown tired of managing your designs in inefficient ways. You may have felt like you were just treading water in a sea of much more organized and productive designers. You wonder if you can ever create enough great designs fast enough to rise through the ranks to sell more designs on a consistent basis.

Your workflow is a mishmash of designs in various stages of completion saved in folders on your computer. Maybe you can't get your cataloging system right, you get confused between design versions, and worst of all, you work off manual spreadsheets to track your submissions to the different marketplaces.

We get it, the situation sucks all the joy out of just creating. If only there was a way to make things easier. What you really need is a tool with a Content Management System that is powerful and intuitive, can upload and edit your designs rapidly and seamlessly, and even stores all your designs safely in the cloud.

What if, once your designs are created and stored, you can bust through another time-consuming exercise — uploading them to all the marketplaces you work with?

What if, and this is a stretch, the platform not only came with a range of helpful apps to make your life easier, but also provided access to a thriving community of like-minded people who shared a love of POD? You can ask questions and get the advice you need to supercharge your creative career.

The solution to both these challenges lies with two products:

• MyDesigns, where you can create and alter your designs in bulk and store them
• Merch Titans, where you can automatically upload your designs in bulk to several marketplaces

The two systems integrate seamlessly, changing your life and your outlook on your creative career.

Come Around to Creative Automation

This is not to say that creatives like you can easily go from technology skeptics to digitally powered super-creatives overnight. Like many creatives who have developed a strange love of their carefully curated desktop folders and detailed spreadsheets, you haven't always been sold on the idea that there is a system that can take years of your work, thousands of designs, and house them just the way you like it.

Perhaps you've doubted if you can find a system that solved your problems so completely. You've had to wrap your head around the idea of creative automation. But deep down, when you work in your home office late into the night trying out different versions of your designs on several incompatible platforms, you know there must be a better way.

You must embrace creative automation, which is the process of using technology to supercharge your creative asset production by automating repetitive parts of the process. It helps cut bottlenecks in the creative process by obliterating time-consuming tasks like naming and cataloging.

Creative automation just isn't optional anymore. For independent creatives like you, producing quality content and achieving personalization at scale is a reality. You can set yourself up for rapid growth to catch up with the pack. It helps to be able to iterate faster to stay ahead of the copycats.

Yet, you still have some questions about creative automation:

• Is it really for me as a small-time creative?
• Can you really automate creativity?
• It must be hard to pull off

These are valid questions. Ones that so many other creatives like you have asked before. In the end, if you take the plunge with MyDesigns and Merch Titans, this is how it can work.
