Thank you Steve! I do a bit of POD and since there is very low barrier to entry, it is hard to succeed. I guess the low profit margins are more acceptable because it is mostly automated. Also, I would say a couple of ways to try to break out is to target holidays and add POD products as a supplement to other things you're already selling. It also seems like a good way to test out designs, etc. and if you do score a winner, you can convert to making it yourself and making more profit. Cheers.

Everything that you say is absolutely true. The problem is that the purpose of POD is that you do not have to carry inventory, do shipping, deal with customer support. It is supposed to be passive. Now you are running a full business. Most people do not have the time to do this let alone the ability to finance a printer, inventory, deal with shipping, having inventory and work space. Importing goods from overseas is a whole set of problems. I think that this is better as a possible second stage. I would try POD first and make sure that you can actually generate a customer base, not a necessarily a profit. Then make this jump.

You did a great job highlighting the pros and cons of print on demand dropshipping. It's crucial for aspiring entrepreneurs to understand the challenges, especially regarding pricing.

@carlellis9647 4 күн бұрын

He makes some good points about the margins for print on demand versus doing it yourself. However, the example he gave for tee-shirts was a bit over the top. You can get tee shirts from Printify with printing on both sides for about $12 to $13 and that includes shipping. Coffee mugs are another example where it is much cheaper to do yourself with a sublimation printer than using a POD supplier. However, there are some items like shower curtains, termpered glass cutting boards, and other items where it's hard to do yourself.

Great content, but realistically very few people are going to purchase a printer of that nature and do their own printing, shipping, etc. Also, many people will not have the space to store the printer as well as inventory.

@kabodick Ай бұрын

Definitely not for a beginner. I know I do not have that kind of capital or space. Still, very good info and something to consider for future potential.

@getwinink Ай бұрын

There are many small printers now, such as A3 size printers that do not take up a lot of space and are enough for a small studio. In addition, now that the Internet is so developed, online sales are also the choice of many people. You only need to get the order, confirm the design, print the finished product directly, and ship it. It is actually very simple, and most online retailers follow this production model.

You can sell good quality tshirts for 26.95 I do it all the time. I pay 9.00 for my shirts my profit is between $9 to $12 after all fees. So it is possible. If you sell hoodies posters framed posters , other wall art profit it even higher. It is not easy but it can be done if you have the right procedures in place.

Great info - thank you! Recently subscribed (and signed up for your newsletter). Can you do a video on how we can combat the price undercutting by all the major Chinese companies that are flooding all the ecommerce hosting platforms, like Etsy? Thanks for sharing your printer, as well. Going to be tough to buy such an expensive equipment when just starting, but at least it's an option to be aware of down the line.

you cant combat the price lmao, they beat us in everything, power cost, materials, nothing you can do.

The advantage of the print of demand via spreadshirt or redbubble is that you can concentrate on making designs, and you can make designs whenever it suits you. This is more attractive to creative people who are often a bit less organised and not so good at deadlines. If you print yourself, you have do the printing, packaging and sending within a few days. This less compatible with having a day job and a family. And also this work is quite boring, which again is not so attractive to creative people.

@mywifequitherjob Ай бұрын

Most creative people I've encountered are not so good at business. Business is often a grind. Depends what your goals are. Are you trying to make money or be creative?

@user-rp2iq8dj9u Ай бұрын

@@mywifequitherjob Exactly, Redbubble & Co, take care of the grind part which allows creative people to do their creative thing. Better to make less money, but it works, than to potentially make more money, but screwing it up.

Now with the numerous AI tools and generators Niches are quickly becoming saturated. It feels like becoming an influencer within a niche space where followers become devoted fans and purchase your merch seems a better and more sustainable strategy than marketplaces and brand stores.

There are numerous POD companies that offer a wide variety of products. I bet if you were to count your time of printing yourself, then you would see it's easier to just pay the cost and offer a wide variety of products. They do offer custom branding.

You kept talking about T-shirts, as if they are the only print on demand product. BUT, what about cups / mugs? Do print on demand mugs have big issues that would make it hard to sell, like the problems T-shirts have?

@SolutionsWithin 12 күн бұрын

So, just curious, if you don't really recommend POD, if you print the items yourself, doesn't that mean you have to wrap, package/box, seal, shipping label and then ship the item yourself?

@LeagueProReplays 10 күн бұрын

Yep, but your profit margin is going to be much better. The POD companies are just buying the blank shirts from china and making a big profit off you.

@barbra429 Ай бұрын

I really would like to use POD to sell t-shirts, but the problem I have with doing so is the long amount of time for the item to arrive to the customer, and the fact that I can't use my logos, packaging, care cards, freebies etc. that makes it so pretty and personal. Now, I am new to this, so maybe I got it wrong. I would appreciate any input anyone has.
