What is Print on Demand?

Print on demand is a way of selling custom products such as t-shirts without having to print or stock them yourself. When someone purchases your product it is printed to order and shipped by a third party. You don’t have to touch anything!

Below are a few examples of successful Etsy stores using print on demand to make a lot of money!

Designs like these are so easily made on a design tool like Canva. The store above has over 6000 sales of basic t-shirt designs.

This simple custom mugs store has done over 140,000 sales! A lot of their products sell for over £10 so a basic calculation estimates their revenue to be over £1,000,000.
