As the title suggests please ask me anything about print on demand as I am fairly knowledgeable about it. My expertise is in free traffic such as MBA.

This thread is for the people who want to learn or need assistance to make a small amount of income. Why am I doing this? It’s my way of giving back to the community and also a way to motivate myself to keep on growing my income.

Do you outsource the designs? How do you find ideas for designs? How do you get free traffic.
 
Oops I’ve made a double thread. Will need mod to fix this.

Do you focus on seasonal products or events? Or do you make your own brand or something like this?

Do you drive external traffic or are all your sales organic?

What is your profit margin/royalties per product?

I do not focus on seasonal products. It’s something that I should be doing though. All sales are organic. I find ideas from social media and/or competitors and slightly improve them and upload it on the market. Royalties range from 2-4 dollars.

Most designs are outsourced. Some I make myself. Free traffic is from existing platforms like Amazon or Redbubble.
 
that's cool. here you go:

- What do you recommend: working on quality or working on quantity?
- What do you recommend: working on platforms (Redbubble, MBA ...etc) or create own store?
- Do you recommend focusing on 1 niche or general?
- Do you recommend buying designs that have commercial use and sell them? (like buying from Vexels or CreativeFabrica).
- What's the best advertisement way to get sales in POD products (Do you recommend FB Ads or Google Ads for example).


Thanks in advance.

Both can work. My experience is mostly in quantity. Most people don't care for quality that much.

Since most of my experience is on platforms that's what I'll be recommending. I've been procrastinating launching my own store but it's something I plan on doing.

Do you recommend focusing on 1 niche or general?

Many niches. That way you're diversified.

I don't know I haven't done this.

My experience is with free traffic. I intend on doing paid ad campaigns using the listings that have sold well on platforms.
 
May I know where you outsource the designer and how much you pay them each design?
 
How many designs have you listed to generate 500$/month?

Did your designs start getting traffic from day 1/week 1?
 
Hey, did you make a separate shop for your designs? or you list them to available marketplace?
 
is possible profit pod without seo?
what is the best pod plataform at moment?
 
1. Can you mention some POD suppliers which accepted Paypal and can dropship?

2. How did you find a design that sale?

Thanks in advance
 
you make your own design or copy from someone else?

I pay 4 dollars a design. You can find people to do your designs on upwork or even on here.

How many designs have you listed to generate 500$/month?
Click to expand...

1577 designs across four platforms,

Did your designs start getting traffic from day 1/week 1?
Click to expand...

Yes. But sales really start to pick up after you have lots of designs.

Hey, did you make a separate shop for your designs? or you list them to available marketplace?
Click to expand...

Available marketplace.

you make your own design or copy from someone else?
Click to expand...

Both.

Merch by Amazon, Redbubble, and Teepublic. These three are worth spending your time on.

How do you find ideas on social media?
Click to expand...

So this is the question that's been repeated on this thread. I do it by casually browsing. If I see a interesting meme then it's going to be incorporated into a shirt. Maybe someone shared a interesting inspiring quote. Maybe I'm watching a Tik Tok and someone is wearing a cool shirt with a cool saying on it. Just pay attention to what people wear. I'm the kind of guy who always notices what you're wearing and what's said on it. There's really nothing else to it other than that.

Sure if you do paid traffic. Not my expertise though. I've had only one campaign work and it's been difficult to replicate that success. But I do intend on trying again.
 
"Merch by Amazon, Redbubble, and Teepublic."

1) What's the 4th platform you use?
2) Experiences with Etsy?
3) Use a software to list or manually?
4) Listings distribution on all platforms (by numbers or %)
 
- Is Redbubble still worth it? (scammers everywhere, I can't get sales anymore)
- How you do keyword/niche research on MBA? What's the best FREE method?
- Do you recommend jumping on Etsy? (I think it is a great platform if you can find a market gap)

Thank u in advance.
 
so you've spent 6300 before getting 500/month... after how many designs you were you able to support yourself by using revenue and not putting in the money yourself?
