Hey bro can you be my private mentor
As someone who’s spent years handling all production and distribution for my custom goods by myself, POD has been a game changer. I’m now able to offer more designs without red lining my work capacity and as a result, I’m able to leave products available for longer. POD also makes it easier to offer variants of a design like different colorways and supplemental products.
Update: I had to discontinue POD as my designs kept getting stolen and sold overseas. I learned once you upload a design to a POD site, it could end up anywhere :/
how much do you make each month and how long did it take?
@@fourshore502 just get started, little boy...just put yo head on it
Sure but it cost you much more, you dont have control on the shipping time and issues, packaging customisation, its more expensive and you have less control on your things, but have all the advantages you said, its difficult choice.
But how do u check quality? My name is my name. I don’t want a customer to get a less than quality product.

This video is GOLD. Thanks so much for putting your knowledge out here and taking the time and effort to create these videos on your channel. I found you over 2.5 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. You inspired the hell out of me, heck I can say you’ve changed my life (for the better!) Thanks dude! It really stuck with me from one of your videos how you talked about when you were a sahd and stayed up late worked and that made me realize I am capable of doing that.
🙌🙌🙌
I like what you're saying here. It's inching away at the fears that brought my business to a grinding halt 😢
This video was great! I never thought of doing both pod AND customized in house fulfillment. Awesome advice, thank you!
As someone with no experience who just needs to stop coming up with excuses and TRY something (maybe even boldly fail and something) I appreciate your approach to this video. I spent all week getting my first set of designs set up and was looking up all the do's and don'ts and "what I wish I had known before...." videos while I worked. The day I was about to upload my first listing, one of the "don't even waste your time" people popped up. For once I just took a deep breath, and kept going on with my plan for the day to just start this thing. Your video helped. Thanks :)
Facts!!! Honestly, youtube is "cool" sometimes but so many people have their personal experiences and a lot of times their videos aren't accurate reviews but more for views.
"Here's why I hate" or "The worst thing you can do" or "NEVER USE THIS!"
I've been running businesses and the number 1 thing you have to do is get started. If it's up to watching youtubers, a person will never start. 4
I remember as a teen wanting to start a music business. There was this guy at guitar center always like "Dont buy this one because". Basically it was the $200 item to get me started when he thought I should just start off with a $5000 item.
Eventually I ignored him and years later I'm making good money. Sometimes it's best to go with your instincts and ignore others
Thanks to both these comments. There are too many videos that seem to scare away people about to start and get them to stop as
if every single thing is over saturated; but that’s just so they can keep continuing.
What print did you used? DTF or DTG
you can get a website for it to promote your business
Any updates ?
I would rather lose profit per sale, then my precious time with my family. Plus, doing shipment part of business is fun said no one ever. 🤪
Title - clickbait
Regardless its smart converting the way people think about POD
😂
It's actually useful content to anyone who'd be interested in clicking, so it's just a smart title.
@@OwenCarver yea right
That’s the way she goes
Great advice, thank you! My problem was with #2 the greed and getting everything done and right was too much. Wasted money on dtg printer and physical stuff but learned so much through the process
Same. Got all my stuff in the closet now and fully pod.
I appreciate you Rich, for how encouraging and willing you are to help. Much respect and success to you.
Preach! Thank You! Finally a no BS no excuses video. As someone who does large quantities for local companies... I know exactly what it costs to do my own prints and pressing...
While I appreciate what I do. I am also an artist who wants to build my own brand and POD is a big help for one or a few shirts. You are right pod providers are part of our team and in the long run it really isn't that much more especially with some prints on short runs it can be crazy expensive..
the advice you are giving regarding not worrying about profit margins when you are just starting out, especially when you are by yourself or have only a small team, is EXACTLY what i needed to hear. Thank you for making this content
"Test your audience with different types of products" using Print On Demand. Thanks for sharing your Solid Truths, bro. So many of my questions were answered with your clean and to-the-point steps on the vid..
🙌
Thank you so much! Really loved your attitude, your moxie, insight and encouragement
I needed to hear this today…thanks a bunch!
This video speaks nothing but facts!!! I'm just now starting my own POD business, but selling merch is only a small (yet lucrative) part of my business plan. I don't care that part of my profits will get eaten by the POD services because I don't have the time or the money to do printing and shipping myself. I love that you said we should focus more on increasing sales to make up for the profit loss. Love this video! Thank you!!! 😄👏🏽🙌🏽
Heyy, can you give a update about how your business is doing please? I’m starting my own pod by now
Southern California watching!! An absolutely awesome video!!!! Much thanks for the upload!! More please! Ha ha
Some really great points for how to use POD! Super smart! Thanks 🙏
Wow thank you I needed to hear this!!!! You have helped me to just get started.
My biggest control issue is packaging. I feel presentation is everything. But I just don't have the room for large orders. It's something I need to let go off. Thanks for the info.
Just sharing my experience with Teespring now called Spring. Back in 2019, I did some shirts with them, I ordered myself a sample and the print colors were all wrong. It took them a few tries to get the colors right.
Fast forward two months ago, I made a hoodie design and ordered myself 2 samples. They were perfect!
I wanted to order another sample, but for some reason made a mistake and ordered from my own website, not a sample. First, that order did not show up in my list of purchases (prob because it was not ordered as a sample) So, I ordered another one (still not a sample). Omg! These hoodies were horrible!! The print was totally off! The samples were very professional looking and looked shiny, the non-samples looked like a first grader just slapped some paint on the hoodie. The letters were not even aligned. You would think you had double vision when you read them!
I complained to Spring, and customer service was responsive. They issued a replacement. After two weeks the 2nd non-sample order came in, with the exact same issues. I was told, no that is not the replacement, that was your second order. I'm like, OK... so I now have two of these ugly hoodies. The replacement came in, and it was worse printing than the previous two (non-samples) that were sent! So now, I have 3 ugly hoodies, and waiting for Spring to send me a refund (for the 2nd non-sample order)
My take is that if you order a sample, they make it look good so you go on and do print-on-demand with them. But when your customers order, who knows if they get a totally different print quality.
My story. My experience.
Jeez
Hi, I wanted to comment bcz I have been procrastinating for the longest time about POD! I mean over a year!! But when I watched ur video, it made me finally do something about it. Everything u said was true and I have been through it! I don't know anything about POD n I'm scared to FAIL, but I saved ur video so I can watch it over n over again to give me hope and motivation that "I CAN DO IT" !!! Thank u so much!
Felt this . That’s how i felt when i started my lash business now i thank god i make almost 8-10k a month !! It takes risk for good things to go good for you!!! Save 1k and start ur POD!! I started 2 months ago and i got 30 sales already . Trust the process it’s meant for you
Peace & Continious Blessings your videos are so informative thank you so much to take the time to break down every aspect of every subject of designing and marketing.
Excellent advice, very clear and easy to understand thank you!
This was informative and helpful thank you for the advice!
Great intel! Much appreciated.
My problem is that making the items myself is my favorite part. I think maybe I need to just do a combination of both. Maybe start by using POD to do the things that I can't do, like anything that needs white ink.
Have you considered starting a "How To" channel or social media page? That would be incredible
I do stickers myself and POD for shirts and mugs
@@tyronthompson2707 I have thought about it because I love teaching. I have trained many people in corporate America, and have always received positive feedback, and have been told several times that I am the best teacher they have ever had. I am extremely patient. The problem is that I'm a very private person and not a fan of seeing myself in pictures or videos, or hearing my voice. I get complimentson my voice, but I think I sound so weird! My family was telling me I should do a channel and I had an idea of creating an alter. I was thinking that might give me the confidence I would need. Nothing too crazy, just something so people who know me wouldn't instantly know me. My 15 year old daughter told me that would be super weird and not a good idea.
This is wonderful information when trying to get started. Much appreciated.
These are the reasons I love Print on Demand too! Great video!
Very informative and concise, thank you.
Big Bula Love from Fiji. You reignite another flame, to try again. Vinaka (Thank You)
Rich thanks for all of your great info. I help with a non profit org. and your videos are helping the kids learn how to be entrepreneurs. i hope we can help you as well by supporting your channel.
Bro you are a legend. So much different than the average busines guru ppl on youtube, this is refreshing. Thank you for the video
Thank you very much for sharing this information.
Yooo, love your videos, super informative. We just got our Hotronix Autoclam and we're trying to decide on a few t shirt brands, do you have any suggestions or videos about particular brands that you like? Thanks again and keep crushing it man!
Much respect to you for this video!
Make a video on Good quality tshirts/prints vs bad quality. What to look for and know the differences. 🙏
Really great video. I just learned a lot. Wondering about ethics though and if there are any POD sites that pay their workers well and have good work conditions. That's my one thing that I'm really really concerned about at this point.
They do, I’ve been on the inside of a lot of them.
Here’s a inside look of Printful:
czcams.com/video/CuVRT5EVFbo/video.html
Great things to think about!
As a new business, this topic is something that I have been learning about from CZcams videos. It is really good information to have. Thank you.
Thank you very much for sharing this information. Do you know which supplier makes custom shape pillow?
@01:47 PREACH. For every 1000 reviews you see, it's the 1 bad one you hold onto. It's like work, which I know you have been an entrepreneur your whole life (RESPECT!) so you don't realize this, but in the corp world, you can do 1000 things right, the second you get ONE SINGLE THING WRONG it's suddenly what defines you for a period of time (short or long, depends).
Yep.
Thanks..very balanced information...helpful!
Good video man!!!
Hi! Thanks for all the info!
I have a question. I live in the netherlands and if i check printify to see what print providers they have here, there are only two! One that makes phone cases and one for stickers. What to do if you want to sell mugs of t-shirts and such?
Thanks so much for sharing.
Great video!
Great VOD! I'm from Brazil, can you direct me to any place where I can have more info regarding printing companies...like which countries are they receiving orders from/shipping to?
More info on the behind the scenes stuff please!! Like how much you need in the bank! Most people dont know that you actually need to pay for pod up front! What people buy, you need to fund yourself first, it aint free, or cheap.
And more in depth about the returns process 👍🏼
Otherwise, great video 😊
Thank you so much this helpful
This was great information to consider, Thx
Thanks. You are a good Teacher. I am a new subscriber.
I actually learned something new from this video....❤❤❤thanks!
I've been looking into creating designs and selling them via etsy and other providers. Using print on demand is such an essential part of growing your business, growing a customer base and obviously creating an income. I live in the middle of nowhere in the UK and it is essential for me to use POD as the nearest post office for me is over an hour's walk away (I don't drive). Thanks for your wise words. I would say that POD companies can't afford to produce poor quality items as they will lose custom themselves.
Thank you man, this video helped a lot for me
Great Conten bro, please give more context or content on how to sell POD and self fulfilment on one store
This is so helpful thanks for sharing
hi, who bears the costs for the returns and how high were the costs for you in the first month? best regards
Great info bro. Quick question: what shirt do you have on; company and product number
smart on the thumbnail and title my guy!
That's an excellent idea to take items that sell well and bring those items in house so you can make more profit on your best selling items.
Nice video thanks🔥

As always hustle ninjas with the OP reviews and advice i only listen to you primarily cause oyur facts are real and proven!
good advice.. thanks for sharing
This is a great video 😊😊😊
😮 I have been asking everyone I know if I could add some POD to my Shopify shop to go along with my physical products that I create and ship. No one has given me an answer! I was meant to see this! You spoke to me so many times throughout it❤ Thank you SO much!!!!
But every one you know, is that your audience?
Are you having any luck on Shopify?? Any advice or tips getting started
Encouraging Young One❤!!
Great video big dogbig Time learning curves like you said I like the way you covered everyone with the title of don't then you turn around and shoulders the reason to do so as well hopefully you're not too busy we can collabo do some great big things God bless you and your family in Jesus name thank God John 3:16
I just wanna create my design and not have to worry about shipping. How should I start this process?
Thank you Rich.
Great Video!
Excellent advice
You hit me with this one.
Appreciate you ❤
Hey Rich, can you talk about DTF printing? Awkward styles added it but I don't know if it's a good printing method or not.
preach it brother
Loving the videos my man. What's your thoughts about fumes from DTF?
Had a lot of discussion on this not too long ago… not too bad if you’re ventilating it well, but I wouldn’t put a dtf in my home.
Has anyone done a video about this? I didn't know this was a thing.
@@HustleNinjas makes sense 👍 Also, thanks for the reply mate. Hello from London England 🏴
@@VinoUdaBestOne very toxic. However, with the right fume extraction and mask etc, you'll probably be ok. Do lots of research on the powder and ink.
@GSDVIDZ I will do a lot of research, Thanks. I had just bought some of the powder and was gonna use it with the sublimation printer I just got to do the hack that everyone has been posting videos about. But I guess I'll put a pin in t b at idea.
Where do you get that shirt that you have on?
You need margins if you are running ads. If you are setting up a tshirt through printful, max branding on a tshirt (back, front, inner neck/or sleeve, what do you charge so that you aren't losing money? And people still buy?
Am I pricing my t shirts too expensive ? If I don’t price $24 + I don’t see much profit but people may think that’s too much for a graphic t . Thoughts ?
I have a question I haven’t been able to find an answer for… is there any way to get a custom product printed on demand? Like if I want something specific that isn’t in any catalog… or maybe even a patented custom product? How would that work?
Hey is there any kind of store that will give me an affiliate link to their whole shop and whenever someone's enters through ny link and buys something, I get my bonus???
How do you keep brand packaging the same and shipping time when selling a mix of POD and own self made product 🤔
The more videos I watch the more motivation I get
Esty shut down my store and say i cant ever open another store. what do i do?
Thanks for the info.
But, before I go, have you ever been a wrestling fan?
Anyone know what exact printer(s) Teespring uses? I'm looking to buy a DTG printer but don't want whatever they use because their products are garbage and the designs fade/chip off within 1 wash. EVERYTIME.
Damn needed this vid today ❤
But with being brand new should you start paying with Shopify without knowing if your gonna sell?
i want a logo design, is there any website that I can use that gives me full ownership of the logo i create?
Does anyone know how verification of image, font, etc goto to prevent copyright problems? If doing this method.
do u think some one who has a print on demand could make some money if they do specialty bundles every month?
Guy I need help. How many tshirts design sample should I do for my first drop? 🤔
do you need your own website or do these on demand websites make one for you?
For Etsy I write ebooks that can be resold, but I guess they could be printed on demand on Amazon.
Whole lotta game in this one folks!!!!!! Especially the part about being your worst critic!!
Whats some good POD sites?
You put all my concerns to rest.
Dope hat! What manufacturer or process did you use to make it?
It's an embroidered hat from Printful. You can see it being made for a few seconds in this video: czcams.com/video/CuVRT5EVFbo/video.html
