All you need to do is come up with a good design, slap it on a shirt, & sell that shirt online without needing to handle the fulfillment side of things and you can make passive income online with Print On Demand just by doing nothing!

Oh, how many times have I heard this! Really? Easy money my azz!

2021 has been quite the year especially after suffering all through the previous year, this year in 2021 we finally see some light. With this being said all through 2020 this was my year of finding what works. I always looked for ways of making money online and one of those ways is through Print On Demand. Print On Demand used to be a huge thing that many people always talked about as a way of making money online and fast. Making money fast sounded nice to me and I wanted to dive into the unknown and learn how Print On Demand works. There’s so much that goes into Print On Demand and especially with how many people do it. As a business model just starting it may be much more difficult than you may think it is to start.

Print On Demand

First of all, if you don’t know what Print On Demand is then Print on demand is a process where you work with a supplier to customize white-label products (like baseball hats or tote bags) with your own designs to sell them on a per-order basis under your own brand.

That means you don’t pay for the product until after you’ve actually sold it, so there’s no need to buy in bulk or hold any inventory yourself.

Plus, with print-on-demand services, everything after the sale, from printing to shipping, is handled by your supplier. Once you’ve set everything up, it takes only a few clicks to fulfill an order once you’ve made a sale.

That’s what this is and with Print On Demand in 2021 things are kinda different. My thing with doing this is the fact that it is oversaturated and not being relevant. Things are constantly changing and Print On Demand changed a lot.

How I Dominate

With Print On Demand in 2021, it comes down to change and adaptation. Some of the strategies I use to get some sales are mainly on the marketing side of things. Marketing is a huge part of the process and it comes down to how you market your product.

Your product is your design and how you sell that design is through marketing. Let’s say I’m selling a football design on a shirt or something. I wouldn’t market on a day Basketball is going on. I would market when football is going on and utilize the hype around that time to sell.

As far as marketing goes you’re not done yet. It all comes down to what you market on. People used to say use Facebook & Instagram to market your product. Times are different now and now I mainly utilize Pinterest Ads and Organic posts on there just to market.

Many people revert to using Pinterest as a platform and it is the best platform there is to take advantage of when it comes to marketing. Pinterest: number of monthly active users worldwide 2016–2020. As of the fourth quarter of 2020, Pinterest had 459 million monthly active users worldwide

With that being said many people are still discovering this platform and it is still growing to this day. People use Pinterest to do most of their shopping so if I were you I would take advantage of this when it comes to Print On Demand.

There’s so much that goes into starting and growing your own Print On Demand business especially now that things have sort of settled down a bit in the space.

Keep crushing it!
