Thank you for your time! Straight to the point and no BS. I'll watch all your videos and then probably get into your training course. You added so much value and a completely different perspective to the training I am currently doing with another POD teacher; whom is pretty great too. All newbies should first be patient, and learn from the bests before even running their shop online.
Niche specific is crucial. I’m just beginning and it’s slow going but I’m very specific and committed to hustling my ass off. This is all great advice!
Number 1 is me :( I was so driven to open my Shopify store on Aug 1 and then 3 weeks later, I'm feeling flat. It's so much work! I have so much to learn! So thank you for this video to motivate me to keep learning and keep working and stick with it.
hey man, great video. watch the whole thing. hit all the points. i learned the layers of conditional scenarios that could occur and you articulated it very well. hoped to have seen this 2 years ago
Ive followed (and unfollowed) so many pod and clothing design channels that always say things just to get followers by making big claims and giving crazy advice. You channel is a breath of fresh air. Ease keep doing what your doing with the real advice and style you do it in.
Thank you, i’m already developing my business plan and this videos helped me avoid the common mistakes. Luckily i’m not planning to sell tshirts, but i want to sell sell posters for a certain niche that i think that has a lot of demand.
Thank you for this advise. Currently I am thinking on getting into this type of business, but as you said, first I am trying to get as much information as possible before considering starting.
Creating a logo of your unknown new brand and expecting ppl to buy the t-shirt with your logo is probably the most incredible mistake beginners keep doing...
My friend started a brand the other day and did that. I was so ready to buy his clothes but when I saw the shirt I was really underwhelmed. And he could come up with some real creative designs cause he’s like an artistic genius. Idk why that was his first shirt.
Thanks Joe, I've watched two of your videos and have decided to wait and learn more before jumping in to this business. The question that really got me is "why do you want to do this?". Also, this type of business is being promoted by other "gurus" as being "passive income" but if I am hearing you correctly this business is like any other business that requires your full attention to become successful and to maintain that success, so it would be wise to honestly ask one's self how much time you are willing to commit to this venture. Also just so you're aware that sign behind you looks like it says "The POO POO With Joe Robert". The D looks like an O. Thanks for your honest advice.
I have watched a lot of videos on POD and your method makes so much sense. 30% profit, im in! You should ask viewers to SUBSCRIBE. You deserve more . If you dont ask you dont get!
Very good video Rob, I mean Joe. I've been missing in action for a few weeks because of personal stresses but your video started playing on it's own as I got into my car and a listened on my way home and allowed the other one to play and I am grateful for the tips. I'll be focussing my energy into my business again now that I've resolved a few things. Btw, my fiverr website builder quit on me and gave me a refund so that's a project I'll have to take on my own. The first video I listened to explained perfectly why i chose print on demand and why I should necessarily mix that with dropshipping as I had originally planned.
Even a company like Nike targets the young and athletic demographic. Their marketing is targeted, not generic. And it's Nike, a brand everyone has heard of. If they have to target their marketing, you bet Johnny Nobody is going to have to do the same thing.
Just started watching your content. From two videos learned a lot more then I have in months from watching other ppl videos. Want to start a store soon and fell more convenient now after getting some good info from your channel 👍👍
I’m already following a course by that kind of people you talk about I think, I use the tips that are timeless, but will definitely follow your advice here day to day for recent update of the market 🍀✅
Yep. That’s why I don’t recommend beginners doing this part time to try and copy what they’ve done over the last 60 years, instead I recommend beginners to choose niches that are passionate and create niche products they can scale with ads
If you have designs that fit different niches, say moms with kids that play baseball and people who like coffee. Do you create one store per niche or create one store and seperate them within that store?
I’ve been researching and planning my Shopify POD store for weeks now (I also run a service business) and I’ve watched countless videos that don’t cut to the hard facts like yours does. Thanks for the truthful content.
Thank You. I want to start a print on demand business. I am glad I clicked on your video it's very informative and I Iook forward to taking your online course, and watching all of your videos.
Hi Joe, thanks for this video. I’ve started implementing some of your advise. I currently own a Shopify store selling jewelry and accessories and wanted to add my own brand of clothing. Can you advise on top quality sweatshirts and hoodies and top printing companies?
Point on the “gurus” was most relevant to me and now noting a lot of them aren’t doing POD recently. Although some advice from youtube has led me to get a sale within 2 weeks of starting up, I haven’t experienced profitability from the strategies advocated being profitable.
Joe I’m a pilot just getting started in print on demand, what do you think about an aviation lineup? Things that aviation geeks or pilots would enjoy. I would create an Instagram page for that line up as well posting things on aviation
Whatever you sell can be made better with branding and print on demand can indeed facilitate a brand. It's just that people pay thousands of dollar to learn to do branding and a study many different disciplines. Joe Schmo from around the block ain't gonna put a clipart on a shirt have a brand.
Hi Joe So I noticed you said that those who want to start there own brand should start off small and not to do the print on demand. So how would someone start off there own brand? Please reply I would like to know. Thank you
So what if you have a niche with a brand with multiple designs that have nothing to do with your logo design, will that work? Is this the correct way to work POD? It should be a no brainer to not put your logo on a T-shirt if no one knows it. But what if you have a clothing line with several designs or a particular niche for that clothing line? Will that work?
Can u tell me more about the printful wallet no-one really speaks on that. I always thought you can just start and sell but you have to out money in a wallet to cover the cost to start the orders. Is any of the other apps like printify like this??
No one really talks about it because (and I mean no disrespect by this) but for the most part it’s expected that you would have to pay for your orders first
a friend and i are putting together a pod store however, i'm confused with what i've seen and heard. i have ideas for a niche but i also have ideas for other possibe niches that seem to run congruently. do you suggest running multiple stores for each particular niche or running one store as an umbrella for everyone? They are not all entirely different niches, but they do not fall into one solid niche. this will be very crucial moving forward. just started watching your videos and enjoy them. yours seem to align with me versus the others i've watched. thanks for the help!
I think some people seeing this could be confused and think that "branding/ building a brand" is bad. In the example of creating just a "logo brand," it really is though, that's just never going to work, no one is ever going to buy from a Facebook ad what they can find cheaper in the mall or from a big brand. BUT, branding your niche store is also the absolute best way you actually can make big money doing POD and the way you can actually charge a bit more money by adding that perceived value through branding. Building an Instagram following, and so on. Still doing targeted designs but also getting the branding part right is the way to go. It's going to take a lot more time to do this well, but if you are thinking long term, it's worth it. Anyways, great video and points!
I’m very crafty with photoshop and have a lot of original Designs and my own niche ... but not trying to rush this cause I’m still trying to figure out where I should start as just a designer... I’m willing to put the time and money in. I just need help figuring out where to start. So far I was thinking Shopify, but after watching a few of your videos. I’m not sure anymore. Can you point me in the right direction?
Great advice on interaction with Gurus or people actually running a POD store - My gut feel after watching hours of this stuff is that people make more money selling courses than selling POD! What do you think?
I completely agree about those who are just teachers now. They figured out that cost of information is just just like POD itself but worth a higher markup. They are selling based on "emotions". Who are some other good, trustworthy teachers is my question?
So here's a question. You mention higher margin products which obviously makes way more sense to sell. Have you done a video about print on demand pictures on metal or other higher products that aren't shown a lot on TH-cam? I seen ya talked about a car seat cover which was cool.
I think a lot of the people that try to create a brand line of clothing stems from the commercial of the 12-yo they claimed was making 6 figures by doing nothing more than selling a brand name that no one had ever heard of. Looking into it 6 months after the commercial, no site had a listing for the products or the brand name.
I have a question I have a dropshipping store that I want to convert in to a print on demand store. In the beginning it was fine but now the shipping and quality of many of the products i am not happy with. Would that be a good idea.
T shirts are definitely a saturated market also. There are zillions. Doesn't mean that you can't do it. If you already have a super huge social media following or something then maybe you could sell a lot - but that's definitely not me.
@@LeooAi Don't get me wrong, you're still totally correct in like 99.9% of cases, just wanted to point out that there are still some exceptions (like in anything) and options for the folks who are pretty much dead broke and might read it, because I was myself once stuck in a "need money to start a business, but need a business to make money" infinite loop for the longest time.
Thanks Joe. Helpful video. Would love to learn more about Facebook ads that are effective and which won't be rejected. It's certainly not a "passive income" business. That term is irksome.
Hello group and Joe, im new to basically all this stuff, but very intetested in running an ecommerce store. My company is called "Adventurous Extremes" Ok.. Joe i heard you request that what sticks out to us in Video and our concerns. U say to be a successful POD store, we must make our brand loveable to those customers who mingle (sts) within the Niche of our Ideas, or Make our products With a strong Niche presence. And we must improve or if experienced, utilize our Marketing skills to their best. U said we should seek high margins of our products and utilize and have a good understanding of how FB Ads work. Also we should make sure we have good product images. Also why most beginners fail is our lack of proper strategies and lack of guidance and mislead by Gurus. Joe, you've opened my eyes a bunch as i've learned alot from you and i'm looking forward to participating in the FB group, if on audience participating videos. Although i have a legally formed LLC for my company with high hopes for it, it may not suffice its potential being only a POD store. I dont mean this rudely, its just that my comanies name (Adventurous Extremes llc) intriques the heck out of me and may suffice and succeed better as something else. But nevertheless, i want to pursue in my POD enterprise.. #ChefRob..
One thought I had is to sell a couple of products to friends of yours and have them helping promoting your brand and shop. Marketing by word of mouth. It can't be a bad thing now, can it?
@@RealJoeRobert my goal with this, as I said in a comment on facebook is to become financially independent, but I was thinking selling to friends first and have them helping you promoting your store Could be one way to get your business out of the starting blocs at least. 🙂👍
EDIT: Nvm I wrote this right after I saw the part about the brand Tshirts.. nvm I guess I will do okay 🤦♀️ I think... I think I am trying to make a 'BRAND' with print-on-demand as you said isn't that great.. However I wonder what I am doing possibly can work, because I am not doing what those (just brand-logo) shops do. I keep thinking, would I buy this T-shirt with a random logo name on it? No.. This is what I do so far, however my shop is not open yet and I wonder if it's ok to make your Print on demand shop as a 'BRAND' if; - I brand name is ONLY on the Inside label. - I am an artist and I do many types of designs, but all are within one Niche. - I try to only do POD items that are related to my niche, However there is a few. - I don't want to stay limited to only one 'print' and I already have 15 print/different art on items. Is this okay? is it a higher possibility of a 'Brand' working this way?.. or maybe it's not a brand at all o_o I'm new to this, don't come for me 🙏
I’m doing this every night after I put my baby to sleep to give him the best life I can. The more I try to start and learn though the more overwhelmed I feel. All this is so new to me but I need to be successful so much.
Hello Joe, I have $1000 to start. What is the best way to use it? I have the domain name, and trademark. What is a good dialy budget for marketing for a beginner? I have not opened the store yet, still designing. Only have 10 designs. Thank you
Honestly I think a TH-cam is probably way too tough for me to describe a marketing strategy for you, you can start my training program for free here www.podninjas.com/premium
I have worked really hard on creating a niche but I feel like I can’t progress ... Facebook is always an obstacle for me. Can’t even get my ads manager account to integrate with the business page :/
hey joe, as always great video, but i have a simple question :) how can i get funding or loan, if i have successful store? so i can grow faster. (i'm not US Citizen)
generally after awhile on Amazon or even Ebay - you can get a Paypal loan or a loan through Square - because you don't need credit, you only need previous sales
I have watched at least six of your print on demand videos so far tonight and they have all been very informative. Thank you for creating these fantastic videos.
Do you recommend I start with Etsy instead of Shopify? I’m afraid to do Shopify because of the fact I have to drive traffic myself, with Etsy they kind of do it for you
The thing abt the logo thing is ppl don't offer versatility I think. Bcuz obvious reasons, if they paid for the logo, I think they feel bound and stuck to it. So there's no other offerings. Those other designers aren't just a logo, Nike is a logo, and a saying. LV is a Logo and a symbol. You might not like there logo but you might like there saying. They give you, versatility, options, and personality. With the Mono Logo thing, just looking at the site's gets old and tired real quick. If ppl buy them would be one time purchases, nothing to come bck to. NoOne but the Owner wants to have their Single Logo in Every color but them
Me wonder how to start my "own brand" on print on demand not knowing it's not literally that, then stumbling on this video is such a blessing 😢😌
I just found you . I’m a go getter and burnt out working for someone else . Watched a few of your videos. I want to be one of your success stories .
Best of luck to you. I'm also burned out working for someone else.
What they don’t understand is that the internet is not one big place but lots of small places.

Nike used to be “blue ribbon sports” founded in 1964. Adidas is older than that but that didn’t stop Nike. Every brand starts from square one.

research the niche and see what is out there. You will compete on design if the market is saturated. That will be difficult if you are not a designer
Whatever you sell can be made better with branding and print on demand can indeed facilitate a brand. It's just that people pay thousands of dollar to learn to do branding and a study many different disciplines. Joe Schmo from around the block ain't gonna put a clipart on a shirt have a brand.

I am wondering if this applies to more than one print on demad store because I put all products on, not just t shirts-redbubble,etc.

Are you basically asking if POD is a business model you should pursue instead of traditional drop shipping?
Thanks 4 sharing all your insightful knowledge with us; furthermore, the word niche is pronounced NITCH not nichee
T shirts are definitely a saturated market also. There are zillions. Doesn't mean that you can't do it. If you already have a super huge social media following or something then maybe you could sell a lot - but that's definitely not me.
people are like *im losing money* ofcourse you will lose money to be successful, any business will make you lose money thats how it works :D
Generally, yes, but with POD and a few other business models (like affiliate marketing) you actually can start and operate with literally 0$.

- I try to only do POD items that are related to my niche, However there is a few.
- I don't want to stay limited to only one 'print' and I already have 15 print/different art on items.
Is this okay? is it a higher possibility of a 'Brand' working this way?.. or maybe it's not a brand at all o_o I'm new to this, don't come for me 🙏
Great content! Would a store with artistic designs always fail with POD if products are designed by a skilled designer with strong marketing skills?
Jinan Coulter in my opinion if the only niche was “art” it probably wouldn’t work with the strategies I recommend
Does it have to be a niche store? Cant it be a store with different niches and different quotes for t-shirts?
Appreciated bro good info
Just ran into this video and it’s🔥 thank you for the knowledge🙏🏼
Joe, I'm buying a big merchandise of nike clothing, and i wanna sell it, how do i do it?
no idea. that question has nothing to do with what i teach, not sure why you're asking me :)
What is you advice on registering your designs as a trademark vs just getting it out there?
I have another video about this on my channel check it out
Awsome video, thanks!
I’m doing this every night after I put my baby to sleep to give him the best life I can. The more I try to start and learn though the more overwhelmed I feel. All this is so new to me but I need to be successful so much.
Check out the pod ninjas Facebook group!
Can I use photos I’ve taken for POD designs?
You can upload whatever you want!
Great info
I just seen my blurred out Australian guru on the example. she does gives the best advice though.
Do you have tops for artists making print on demand?
Tops? Do you mean tips? My tips are consistent - which is picking a niche and making niche designs
Hello Joe, I have $1000 to start. What is the best way to use it? I have the domain name, and trademark. What is a good dialy budget for marketing for a beginner? I have not opened the store yet, still designing. Only have 10 designs. Thank you
Honestly I think a TH-cam is probably way too tough for me to describe a marketing strategy for you, you can start my training program for free here www.podninjas.com/premium
I have worked really hard on creating a niche but I feel like I can’t progress ... Facebook is always an obstacle for me. Can’t even get my ads manager account to integrate with the business page :/
Can I have multiple niches on the same store?
Nothing from a technical perspective that would prevent that!
@@RealJoeRobert are you saying its fine?.... I'm kinda slow sometimes.
hey joe, as always great video, but i have a simple question :)
how can i get funding or loan, if i have successful store? so i can grow faster.
(i'm not US Citizen)
generally after awhile on Amazon or even Ebay - you can get a Paypal loan or a loan through Square - because you don't need credit, you only need previous sales
00:00 Lack on knowledge and scaling? Let's see if I got it right after 15min
Literally
I want to learn more from your substantial content about print on demand
I have watched at least six of your print on demand videos so far tonight and they have all been very informative. Thank you for creating these fantastic videos.
Thanks for watching! Make sure to check out the Facebook groip$
Finally somebody speaks Human instead of terminology where beginner googles every 2nd word
Do you recommend I start with Etsy instead of Shopify? I’m afraid to do Shopify because of the fact I have to drive traffic myself, with Etsy they kind of do it for you
Just made two videos on this last week
I appreciate your honesty
The thing abt the logo thing is ppl don't offer versatility I think. Bcuz obvious reasons, if they paid for the logo, I think they feel bound and stuck to it. So there's no other offerings. Those other designers aren't just a logo, Nike is a logo, and a saying. LV is a Logo and a symbol. You might not like there logo but you might like there saying. They give you, versatility, options, and personality. With the Mono Logo thing, just looking at the site's gets old and tired real quick. If ppl buy them would be one time purchases, nothing to come bck to. NoOne but the Owner wants to have their Single Logo in Every color but them
I think you missed the point I was making, I don’t really understand your comment 😬
@@RealJoeRobert you used a Lot of examples, was just commenting on the "ppl try to create their own brand" one.
Man These are facts and thank god I watched this video.
Great content bro keep it up!
Thnk u for the straight forward info.
