Basically I have tried to share my experience here in my videos. If you start a print on demand store, you should not expect to be able to achieve the results that I have shown on my channel, this is a real business that will take work and cannot be treated as an easy way to make money online. There is risk involved, and you should do your own research before starting any business to ensure you follow all of the local laws and regulations from where you live.
We Are in Unchartered Financial Waters! every day we encounter challenges that have become the new standard. Although we previously perceived it as a crisis, we now acknowledge it as the new normal and must adapt accordingly. Given the current economic difficulties that the country is experiencing in 2024, how can we enhance our earnings during this period of adjustment? I cannot let my $680,000 savings vanish after putting in so much effort to accumulate them.
Keeping some gold is usually a wise decision. You would be better off keeping away from equities for a bit or, even better, seeking advice from an expert given the current market conditions and everything that is at risk with the current economy.
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 9%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an analyst
Could you possibly recommend a CFA you've consulted with?
My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..
Thank you for saving me hours of back and forth investigation into the markets. I simply copied and pasted her full name into my browser, and her website came up first in search results. She looks flawless.
You had me at "Hey Joe, It's folks here" I'm seriously glad I found your channel, about to start your Dummies class, I like the way you explain things and you're easy to listen to. Thanks!
Thanks for watching 🙏
Great video about this aspect of your approach. The POD CZcamsrs who teach to sell shirts will emphasize that almost everyone wears shirts, most people have dozens of shirts and will always buy more, and therefore you can easily get impulse purchases, and return customers buying multiple shirts over time (if you do email marketing to keep bringing them back). Whereas with a metal sign, shower curtain, or car seat covers, not everyone wants that kind of product, it's a higher price so it's a bigger decision, and most customers probably won't buy multiple over time (?). Ultimately I'm sure either approach can work if done properly. But one point for your approach-it seems like you're able to get a higher profit margin even when paying for traffic. I don't think anyone selling shirts with paid traffic are getting a 35% margin.
Thanks for watching! Getting impulse purchases on shirts from what I’ve seen is what a lot of people are struggling with which is why they’re choosing low competition niches
This comment made me subscribe it’s people like you that need to be in my life ❤😂
I'm pretty sure all the CZcamsrs teachers aren't selling shirts anymore or at least they aren't a priority for them. they've moved on to more profit items.
@johnlenton3900 I don’t really think that’s true. Lots of mug and t shirt propaganda
@@RealJoeRobert that’s possible but trying compete with some shops prices is getting harder if you’re using POD. Just a thought.
when you master ads and you get a nice design there no limit for you
Average CPA with Facebook/Instagram ads would be at least $10 which would heat up all of your profit selling shirts though
@RealJoeRobert do you have an FB or IG ads for dummies?! Totally need a refresher!!!!
Totally makes sense!!! Blew my mind 🤯
I was ‘in’, at forget shirt or mug. But ultimately, what anyone in this sector does, is create their own brand. No customer, ever, bought a brand without it meeting their needs. So any dreams of printing money, relate to exactly meeting the needs of potential customers
What about protecting your design? Does printing your design on one of these print on design services also copyright your design, like publishing a book would? This industry feels like it’d be ripe for stealing by bigger competitors 🤔
I think this is normally an Etsy problem to be honest I haven’t experienced a lot of design theft on Shopify
There used to be a website where you could upload the picture and it would automatically copyright it for you. Problem is I haven’t used it in years so I don’t remember the name. Happy hunting
@@sethro2756 I watched another video about doing this w/ Amazon, that in their contract, it says that they recognise your design is yours, and you are giving the permission to print it. It's from a youtube video, so take that for what it's worth. I'm thinking it's worth the $500 to hire a lawyer to ask these kinds of questions before I put anything up. Nowadays most people think nothing of taking someone else's idea, especially if you're going up against the bigger competition....
Thank you Joe! This was great info and very helpful 😊
Glad to hear it thanks for watching!
Hi Joe, you just made a new fan with this video :) It's very helpful, thank you.
If someone sees a t-shirt they like, they're likely going to buy it.T-shirts are usually priced at an impulse purchase level. Also most people buy multiple t-shirts every year. How many metal signs is a buyer going to purchase for his/her home gym?
The majority of people selling shirts are not finding people to buy their shirts though - the gym sign was just one example, doesn’t mean that would be the only product that is low competition and high profit that you could sell them.
Remember, I’m just sharing what I’ve seen work well on my own stores and with people that I’ve worked with in competitive niches and that’s choosing low competition products
@@RealJoeRobert I'm not having problems selling T-shirts. I don't use platforms like Etsy though. I have my own self hosted niche shop.
This Elijah's printify automation tool is wild. Uploaded 100 designs and had 1000 products ready to go in no time!
Thank you for sharing this helpful content with us!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips! Thank you!
Great video! This makes total sense!
Thanks for watching
Great video 🎉. And wats with this Elijah’s printify SPAM ???
I've been reporting those comments as spam. Maybe CZcams will put a stop to it, but I doubt it.
It’s crazy they’ve been leaving hundreds of comments across my videos
@@RealJoeRobert Dammmm terrible! 🤦🏼♀️ They need to market someplace else! 🤬😆
Thank you! Love your video
Thanks for watching 🙏
Love how Elijah's Printify automation tool works with my existing Printify products as templates. Makes expanding my catalog so easy!
Elijah's Printify Automation Tool is saving me hours every week. Bulk product creation and publishing is a lifesaver.
bulk is nice but it is a slippery slope quality vs quantity got me to my success

You heard right 😉
Hey Joe, where can I find a deep dive with your fb $1/day strategy?
yes i need this also
So glad you did this video. Can you please recommend some good POD companies for embroidery product?
Thanks for watching! I think printful does a lot of embroidery, bit pricey though
@@RealJoeRobert In addition to printful, I suggest you Merchize, a very high quality embroidery product
Thank you so much! Great information. Do you already have a video about returned orders? Has Printify improved its products? I've been hesitant about using Prinify because of the poor quality. What is the rate of returns?
I do - type “Joe Robert returns” into CZcams search a few will come up 😊
My problem is creating product descriptions. I'll create many designs and then get stuck finishing the product creating titles and descriptions. I'll come up with an image design concept. Create the image (with or without text). Then so any color adjustments and other edits. I may end up with a handful of useful images to use in the same theme. Then I got to upload them and start creating products and mockups. Then the mockups need to be downloaded and edited. Then re-uploaded. Then I'm left with several products in the same niche with the same theme but ask different but also similar. And they all need titles and descriptions..... And I don't want titles to be too similar not the descriptions. Then I have to consider SEO part of it. It's mentally draining if i must say.
If I get one or two done per week that's great. Maybe I'm just not great at it. I will use chat gpt on occasion to help with SEO and such on certain topics or if it's a subject matter that I can't quite express in my own words I'll get a few examples to go with our piece together. But still I usually just make a list of things to describe the scene on the image. Then work on a hook of some kind.
I just need 37 hour days and 8 days a week.
I use chat GPT to help with the descriptions. Maybe it can help you, too. :) Good luck.
I wouldn’t stress this much tbh
@@lynwilliams72 how?
@@crazywithsusmita7221 - I created a free account with chat GPT and I type something like 'create a description for my coffee cup with a cute purple teddy bear design on it that I will sell on my Etsy store'. It remembers things I've asked it so it will fill in some info I didn't ask for that helps the description. If I don't like something I tell it not to add whatever or to add something else. I spend so much time on designs, I don't want to spend time on descriptions. :)
@@crazywithsusmita7221 Use the right prompts
Hi, I have some doubts about POD and I have not yet seen any videos that talk about this. If I have products from different suppliers in a store, would the customer be delivered separately and would they be charged for shipping each item? And if they are different products from the same supplier, would the shipping prices of each item be added? Are customers actually okay with that?
Yes to all of your questions. I uploaded a video recently about things I wish I knew before I started where I discussed all of that in depth
Thank you for posting this comment! And please forgive what has turned into a rant🤯🤭…
I’ve created a ton of designs for my new shop and have finally started to add the items, but in ‘hidden’ mode for this exact reason! I’m just going off of how I would feel when shopping anywhere other than Amazon. I’m not adversed to paying for reasonable shipping but I admit to abandoning many a cart when the shipping seems ridiculous. And offering free shipping either jacks up product prices or decimates my profit margins.
I’ve watched countless helpful videos from YT POD gurus, and researched my ass off to find the best products to offer my designs on. But the problem is that the best of the best means at least 2-3 different print providers, and way more if one of those is Printify, because they’re just a hub for a ton of smaller providers!
T-shirts are easy enough, all providers are pretty much competitive in that space. But finding a provider that also offers a healthy selection of tote bags, glassware, notebooks, pillows, canvas wall art, etc., is impossible! So if a customer likes a design and wants to buy a t-shirt, a notebook, and a pillow from my shop, they’re going to be hit with 3 stacked shipping charges in their cart!
I’m not so concerned about items arriving separately; every online store does that now so customers are used to it. But when shipping nears, or crosses, the $20 mark, that’s a valid excuse to abandon cart.
I’ll try to find the video, mentioned in Joe’s reply, and watch it… hopefully that will help me out of what feels like a crippling holding pattern of dread😩🤞😂
@@RealJoeRobert I don’t know how I missed it, but just watched the video you’re referring to and it definitely helped me come up with a more comfortable shipping strategy. Or at least the start of one. (My epic rant is below for context) IMHO I feel like it was one of your best ones yet, or maybe it just spoke volumes to me because it addressed everything that was holding me back. Thank you!! I now feel like I’m ready to step in with both feet!🙏🙏🙏
That's what kills sells. Multiple shippers charge crazy price for shipping. Making customers price high compared to TEMU or TT shop of course after paying for the shirt, taxes, shipping I wouldn't even by my own shit. I Ordered a sweat shirt for almost $59 from my own store. But I wouldn't normally past that much
@@RealJoeRobert which video are talking about ??
I can’t stomach doing T-shirts and mugs. It is so boring to me. I just started doing shoes. I have some really cool looking ones and they are definitely getting clicks.
Good luck!
so industrious!
🙏
If only there was some kind of Printify Automation tool I could use. Oh well one can but hope.😉
Automation forrrrr?
Have you done a vid on how to market a Shopify store?
Yep. I have a lot of videos on my channel, also a free course in the description of all of my videos
I need help with personalization. Not sure how people are doing this with POD.
Thanks!
Question from a newbie - there are many different niches. If I choose to sell products related to several completely different niches such as farming, baking, beaches and pets, should I have a site for each niche or a "catch all" with a company name that implies that? I'm setting up a Printify Pop up Shop now but I would like to upgrade to a Shopify or similar product for a site that looks more professional and offers personalization features. Thanks for any advice. BTW - I really enjoy your vids.
Thanks for watching! In my pod for dummies course I have a few videos about store types like you asked about, it’s free www.podninjas.com/freecourse
@@RealJoeRobert I signed up for the POD for Dummies. Thanks!
Thanks from France Joe!!
And what about ads to get trafic on your POD shopify store ?
Taken care 😊
Got videos on that - see one of my playlists
Thanks for watching 🙏
Amazing info
Thanks for watching
interesting idea, how much time do you spend on these businesses?
Just used Elijah's Printify Automation tool to launch a new Printify store with 1500 products. Took me less timeLove how Elijah's tool works with my existing Printify products as templates. Makes expanding my catalog so easy! than creating 10 manually!

"Hey Joe it's folks here?" ... what am I missing?
It's just a quirky reversal of the typical CZcams intro
It's a bit of side humor. Kind of like when a CZcamsr I watch says "Like that smash button."
Did you start 8 years ago or 3 months ago?
@@Holabella I started my first store in 2016.
Do simple patterns on leggings and hoodies and women cut sew would sell well? Like I am beginner and want to keep it simple and use an app called repper app to design those patterns?
I typically say great designs have three things. The first is a graphic. The second is some sort of quote/message and the third is an overall aesthetic to the design
Leggings obviously in some cases though won’t have text. Depends on the niche
“Women cut sell well”? And you use an app called Repper?
@@EE-uj6tw I want to use this app. What is a women cut?
I want to hit the painting niche of POD prints on canvases/ frames posters, etc. Anyone have advice for this niche?
Painting niche? Advice would be to get more specific, sounds a bit broad currently
@@RealJoeRobert sorry. I mean wall art more specifically
The stuff your shoing only ships from Canada, isn't that expensive with shipping? The shoes especially, just asking because I don't honestly know I just see it's Ships from Canada under them all..
@@rashipp4982 what did I show that ships from Canada?
@@RealJoeRobert On my side the "rubber shoes. The baseball mom shoes, all that shows Canada on my Printify..
Oh it's China my bad..not Canada..those all show China on my shopify
Right.
It is low in profit when you are doing POD for real. I do this stuff but i print em myself
Then I guess this video isn’t for you lol I talked about a lot more than just profitability though

Because you had over 28k sales but only 223 orders? Unless people were buying multiple tees per order but it still seem high? Just curious.
@Startech333 not selling shirts I said that lol
@@RealJoeRobert ah ok... Haha
is it better to have a copyright or trademark on the items you sell so you don't have people copying your design or mark? I hear this happens a lot on platforms like ETSY.
@@a-affordablecom I think you should look up the difference between copyright and trademark 😊
@@RealJoeRobert I own 9 trademarks. I'm just saying a lot of people don't copyright there work (illustration) and when they upload there design it gets copied.
@a-affordablecom can you define what you mean by “copyright their work” you don’t file for copyright it’s a natural protection you receive when you create some thing. Which is why I told you to look up the difference lol 😊
@@RealJoeRobert OK i hear you but i've seen so many horror stories on Etsy of Etsy deleting peoples selling page cause someone copied there design then started selling it and claimed it was there's.
