AMA: I make 500/m from POD

30 - 50 is a lot!

Do you automate it in any way?

No. There's automation tools available but I don't use them. I should but I prefer manual and inertia is preventing me from trying something new.

May I ask for teespring, what price are you setting for each product ? Only a 4$ profit or more ?
Thank you

I don't use teespring.

One thing that's keeping me from POD on platforms like Etsy and RB is having to upload products one by one.

Did you try outsourcing that? Giving your login and password to a trusted VA should be fine.

Oh and I have a good question: I found sellers selling POD designs in BULK. They're probably already uploaded on the platforms though by other buyers. Is using those okay?

I don't outsource it. I don't make enough to justify it. If I was to make 5k+ or more per month then I might do it. But to be frank this is why I'm making the money (and others like me) and you're not. The unwillingness to do the tedious work in this space is why a vast majority of people won't do it. If you're able to overcome that hurdle then you'll make money. Outsourcing comes when you're making enough money to justify the cost.

I wouldn't recommend buying those bulk designs. What's been sold to you will probably be sold to others. Then you'll have people who will take down your listing. I just don't trust them. Do the hard part and do keyword research/brainstorm your own ideas. Then design according to that.

I was wanting to do some satirical political ones, but was worried they might be a bit too controversial, so thanks for the advice on that. Might give it a go and see what happens, if they get banned - well nothing ventured nothing gained.

Political stuff works. Just don't do it on Amazon. I'd recommend using teespring and/or launching your own shopify store and combine it with printful or any other similar provider. Then push your own traffic. (by posting on twitter, yt comments, fb pages, etc) That would be the best way to go about the route you want to take.

Thank you that's really useful.
 
Cool OP. Q: how many products you had before seeing sales, and did you purchase fake reviews for your listings beforehand?
 
I read your thread. It's amazing. I have a tier 10 MBA account. What should I need to concentrate for getting up sales t-shirts or popsocket?

I don't rely on fake reviews. I started to see sales when I had 100 products up.

Your immediate goal is to get out of T25. I'd recommend buying your way out of it. Get to T100 as fast as you can.
 
I have heard about POD a lot but never tried it and I am also familiar with RedBubble for quite a long time when back in the days they used to pay people for posting pictures and stuff send organic traffic and get the money. So to be honest they have been around for quite a long time, can you please tell me what type of commissions are they paying off before I even consider going into POD, the reason I think RedBubble is fascinating as they offer tons of products not limited to t-shirts or wall arts only.

I can outsource the designs to make sure they're original, I can bring in traffic through ads, organic, social media if I have to. I am just concerned about the type of commission payouts that are available, like is it even worth it in the long run?
 
Hi, I have some questions.
Whats your regular procedure doing POD? Like niche & keyword research,
do you use any online tools to decide what to design?
 
How do you fill your slots for the day on MBA? Do you max them out with different items in different countries or do you max them out with different designs on 1 item?
 
i'm making 60-150$ from redbubble MBA didn't approuved my account any idea on how to scale ?

My very first account took a few months to get in. My second and third accounts I purchased.

Why would you need a 2nd or 3rd account anyway? and how many accounts are you even allowed? Just getting into POD.

Do you use CafePress POD as well? Logically, it's best to upload your designs to every conceivable outlet.
 
Hi all,
In the past im was a poet. Will short poetic phrases, sayings created by me, can work on pod market?

What to consider before buying an MBA account?

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 think text-only designs are still profitable? If you had a little money to invest where would it be? Thanks!

Do you think POD only can bring small profits? It’s not possible to scale for big profits?
 
Great thread!
How often do you have to deal with returns and how is that handled?
