Welcome back to the PODCast!
So which platform should you be focusing on for your print-on-demand business? On this week's show, Travis fly's solo as Josiah takes a well-deserved family break in Wyoming. He tackles the age-old debate: Etsy or Shopify? In the massive pros and cons list for each platform, Travis outlines the differences in these two behemoths and why one or the other might be your best option.
For example, Etsy boasts built-in traffic and low upfront costs, making it a beginner-friendly platform. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows; marketplace fees and reduced profit margins can sting. Conversely, Shopify offers extensive customization and higher profit potential but demands more technical know-how and marketing efforts. Don't miss out on this episode packed with practical advice and real-world strategies!

E221: The State of the Print On Demand Cast 23:21

cách đây 20 weeks trước23:21

23:21

Welcome back to the PODCast! In this week's show, I share some things about the show that I've been considering for awhile. If you're a long time listener, you know I'm a straight shooter when it comes to this stuff, so buckle in. In all honestly, I've been thinking about the PODCast all wrong. I've been thinking of it as a product as opposed to a marketing instrument that could amplify interest in a print on demand coaching business (which doesn't really exist - at least not in the way I want it to.) Because of the weekly schedule of creating this show, it's been difficult to navigate it all - the challenges of content creation as well as the need to bolster my own POD business' growth. In the end, the Main Event of this episode delves into me redefining my priorities, as well as the strategic decision to scale back on podcast production (and all that comes with it) to focus on building a sustainable business model with a product that I'm proud of. Finally, I'd love for you to TAKE THIS SURVEY and let me know what would be important for you in a paid print on demand product (if I even end up creating one is still TBD.) It'll only take 2-3 minutes and will really help.

E220: In House vs Outsourced Production for Print On Demand + Another Free Tool 1:13:38

cách đây 22 weeks trước1:13:38

1:13:38

Welcome back to the Print On Demand Cast! in this week's episode, I take a deep dive into the pros and cons of in-house versus outsourced production. From quality control to scalability, each method presents its own set of challenges and opportunities. Whether it's analyzing the cost structure of a large coffee mug order or the logistics of efficient shipping, I provide insights into optimizing operations and maximizing profits. With practical examples and real-world scenarios, I hope to arm you with the knowledge to make strategic decisions for your print-on-demand business. At the end of the episode, I share a link to a google sheet I created that can help you figure out your profit margins for in-house and outsourced production. You can grab that for yourself at https://printondemandcast.com/production-comparison-sheet . Plus, in this week's Point Of Interest, I share two updates from Printful that I thought we're pretty cool. The first is a new product - custom jacquard knitting , a technique that transforms yarn into intricate patterns within the fabric itself. This innovation could elevate your print-on-demand offerings to new heights, or at least new profits! Secondly, I share a limited time discount Printful is offering to their Printful Growth subscribers from Nov 1 - Dec 15. I spend a lot of time talking about the embroidered trucker hat you can get shipped to your customer for under $15, but there are a few other popular products on the list. One last thing, if you want the full experience of this episode, you really should consider watching it on YouTube since I share my screen a lot.

Proper planning isn't just a buzzword—it's the lifeline to keeping your business thriving and your interest in it alive. Struggling with organization? You're not alone. In the Main Event, Travis tackles the chaos head-on by discussing the crucial role of a well-organized system in managing SKUs and scheduling tasks. He shares some of what he talked about in Episode 205 and feeling overwhelmed by all the minute details of what needs done day to day. In fact, he asked a friend's to help and her organizational skills helped set him on a track to be more efficient and get important tasks done. By categorizing tasks and structuring his calendar, he discovered hidden pockets of time and greatly enhanced his efficiency, overcoming common obstacles like imposter syndrome and various distractions.

Ever wondered what it takes to keep a podcast thriving for four years? Join us in this special anniversary episode of the Print On Demand Cast as we look back on our journey since launching on August 31st, 2020. We'll kick things off by sharing some behind-the-scenes stories about the evolution of our logo and branding—from a humble printer ink splatter to a vibrant 80s synth-wave aesthetic that truly captures our spirit. And of course, no celebration would be complete without a slew of rapid-fire dad jokes to keep things light and fun. Think you know everything about print-on-demand? Put your knowledge to the test with our trivia challenge! Discover when Merch by Amazon first opened its doors to eager creatives, and learn about the staggering milestone of Redbubble surpassing $1 billion in payouts to artists. We'll also explore the nitty-gritty of dye sublimation printing and discuss why direct-to-film (DTF) is giving direct-to-garment (DTG) a run for its money. Insights, laughs, and a few surprises are guaranteed as we challenge our expertise and reflect on what we've learned along the way. Finally, we dive into the ever-evolving landscape of the print-on-demand industry and how it's intersected with our personal lives. From battling initial technical hurdles like DTG printhead clogs to adapting to the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT, we've navigated a dynamic and often unpredictable market. We'll discuss how social media influencers have reshaped the industry, the competitive pressures from platforms like Printify and Printful, and how the COVID-19 pandemic spurred a new wave of home-based entrepreneurs. Plus, hear about our personal transitions, relocations, and even how our hair lengths have changed over these transformative years. 😂 Enjoy the show! https://printondemandcast.com https://printondemandcast.com/shop https://printondemandcast.com/facebook https://printondemandcast.com/youtube https://printondemandcast.com/instagram https://printondemandcast.com/tiktok⁠⁠ Sign up to get your FREE Annual Design Calendar!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://printondemandcast.com⁠⁠⁠/VIP If you're looking for some help with your POD business, sign up for a POD Success Discovery Call and we can see if we're a good fit to work together.…

Welcome back to the PODCast! Money problems got you down? (Sounds like the opening line of a late night infomercial.) 😂 But seriously, how can you turn around the financial fate of your Print On Demand business? This week, Travis and Josiah share some strategies around why your business finances might not be where you had hoped when starting out. While they can’t wave a magic wand over all your financial woes, perhaps some practical advice can make a real difference. For starters, the guys explore the art of increasing profits without necessarily ramping up sales volume. Discover why selling higher-ticket items like wooden signs and/or wall art can be a game-changer compared to the usual t-shirts. Learn how to boost your average cart value with savvy tactics like offering free shipping on larger orders or cross-selling complementary items. They also stress the importance of clear product descriptions and visual aids to reduce customer confusion and returns, ultimately leading to higher customer satisfaction and a healthier net margin for your business. Free up your time for strategic growth by outsourcing repetitive tasks to virtual assistants and keep your credentials secure with tools like LastPass . Understand the power of analyzing your advertising expenses and how monitoring Return on Advertising Spend (ROAS) can ensure your ad campaigns are profitable. From optimizing your product listings to leveraging automation tools like bulk mock-up generators and AI advancements like ChatGPT, this episode is crammed with actionable tips to help your Print On Demand business thrive. Plus, in the Point of Interest, the guys share an AI tool from a company named DistroMade that will look at a product image and create a description to use on your listings!
