10 Print On Demand Platforms You Need to Know About
Thanks for this, Greg. Very helpful to know all of the players in the POD biz without having to search around or sort through a lot of videos to figure this out. You're the best!
Thanks Larry, glad to be able to put it all into 1 video. More helpful POD videos on the way!
Nice content Greg! I haven’t explored Tee Spring, Spreadshirt, and Threadless yet. Good idea for me to start looking into them at some point. 👍🏻
Greg deserves credit for a well-done video. First of all, he doesn't start out like so many bozos who begin with saying, "Hi, guys, what's up?" That's so cliche and it fails to recognize that not all viewers are "guys". Then he doesn't waste time. He gets right into the content without trying to convince you to subscribe and like his video. His sound is clear and easy to understand and the content he provides is useful. Good job, Greg!
Guys doesn't necessarily mean boys. It's a general term to refer to a group of people or your friends 😂😂😂. So "his guys" as in "hi everyone"
Always so happy to see your videos!!
Thank you Dianoza!
Hiya Greg! Really love all your POD videos, very informative and super helpful, just wondering if you've already made a video on how to address design theft on these POD platforms and how to reduce, avoid or protect yourself from it, or perhaps you can create a new video on this topic if you haven't already, Thanks Greg!
Thanks for your videos. They’ve really helped me get into this side hustle that even an old guy can do.
Great to hear! Let me know if you run into any questions.
Thank you so much Greg. This video helps me A LOT !!!
Thank you 🙌
Awesome intro to POD video! Thank you for sharing. I’d love to hear your thoughts on CustomCat POD. I hear that their new Digisoft printing technology could be game changing.
That's a good list, Greg! Thank you for the information. Cheers!
Thanks!
You should consider doing a video focusing more on the costs it will take to do all this.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll make that video for you Thuto.
The cost is lots and lots of time...plus some minor softwares like Canva plus.
Yes and potential profits. E.g. for active POD you have to do way more, but profit margins might be much higher.
The "new kid on the block" Threadless has been around for 20 years. I've been with them for over a decade, and I think I've bought more there than I've sold lol. Artists hoping to make this a profitable creative outlet, might want to shelve that thought. This is a high volume business, so being an artist is just going to slow you down. I don't mean to discourage anyone, but just a reality check before anyone starts wasting their time. Nice video.
Hi Greg thank u so much for all your help dear truly appreciate it 🥰
YOU DESERVES A COMMENT, LOVE YOU GREG
Thanks mate. Another great video. Just getting started with print on demand. Great information on this one.
Thanks Fred, glad it was helpful! I’m always here if you run into any questions.
I recommended you to my friend bcoz i started my pod journey from you. Thanks a lot.
Great list, just the video I needed.
Glad to hear it!
Knowledge based to the point , easy to understand. thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing video as always!
I'm doing passive POD...
Thanks so much! 😇
Oh perfect, great choice! Thanks for the comment 🙌
Great video, thanks so much!
Thanks Afaq, hope you're doing well.
hello Greg, can you mention tips/questions for introspection so we can decide if we want active or passive style?
wow, great info! thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Didn't know some sites you mentioned are active and not passive. Thanks for saving me time!
Happy to help!
Hi Greg. Amazing video. Really informative and very helpful!
What's your opinion on Gelato? Is it a passive or active print on demand company? I am looking to get into the print on demand business and Gelato seems very popular at the moment.
Have you spoken about it in one of your previous videos or do you intend to speak about it in a future video?
Thanks again.
Man you are always amazing
Thank you 🙌
In terms of passive POD websites, have you noticed major differences in terms of quality? Can you rank them in terms of quality?
I love your video. Can you please make a tutorial on active print on demand.
So so useful thank you
Thanks 🙌
Sir thanks for your vedio.Which one is best of best for passive business module in POD
Always good and easy-to-understand information. I haven't gotten much traffic on Etsy, and am getting a bit discouraged. But having the other options you mention here gives me good ideas!
You can do it! 🙂
I read in some other video that someone got her first sale after posting about 65 listings, so that's probably what you should look forward to
Thanks for the video. But I have to ask, do you use any of these sites to sell or it just for the video
Tee spring is pretty good tbh
You do deserve more subs, Greg.
Thank you 🙌
Hey. Thanks for the awesome content. Wondering if you can upload images purchased on creative fabrica directly (unaldered) to teepublic? Some youtubers say tes, some sat no. Thanks in advance. 😊
how many POD designs and how much time do you suggest/think it will take to reach 5 figure months? When do you think someone should throw in the towel?
Hi Greg is there any passive options that do print on demand wrapping paper?
How many designs do you need to do and how often for the passive print on demand sites?
Lovely sir Thank you sir
Thank you!
For Teepublic, do you still have to optimize/mazimize the photos prior to uploading, or have they upgraded their site to optimize them there? If not, what online optimizer could be used? Thanks.
Greate video as usual, but I have a question: what is your thoughts about (gelato, custom cat, cafe press, teemill, society6, design by humans), thank you
Cheers! ️
Hi Greg, how can I check if store name I will use doesn't have trade mark or copy right? Thanks!!
Cheers! ☝️
Excellent video! Thank you for that. I can’t seem to find your ‘Teepublic’ tutorial. Could you please send me the link to that? Thanks.
i`m starting to like this bussness.:)
Thanks
Thank you!
Hi Greg! I wanted to ask you about Teepublic printing quality. Is it good?
What are your thoughts on the Amazon influencer program?
Can you make a video step by step print on demand with etsy listing design and all
Hey Greg,How will Pinterest be for promotion?
Thank for being real. Do you have a video featuring the QUALTY of the products from these sites? I’ll look on your channel. My daughter and I are starting a store and want to make sure print quality and materials are good from said companies. Thank you for responding.
Thanks! No I haven’t made a video on this but I believe there’s a good one by Shimmy Morris that I’d refer you to watch. Hope that’s helpful for you guys.
Is Gelato good?
Hi Greg! Thank you again for this valuable info.
Wish I had listened to your video before I applied as a seller on Merch by Amazon. I applied maybe 3weeks ago and got denied. Would you happen to know if I can reapply at a later date or is it pretty much a bust?
No worries! You can reapply as many times as needed to get in, I believe you just need to use a different email address each time. I wouldn't sweat it because I've talked to a lot of people who have gotten in on the 2nd or 3rd try.
Hello greg hopefully I can get an answer, that would be great, I would just like to know how many designs each month should we do, is 30 a good number ? 1 for each day. Thanks in advance
Thanks for your information. Could you also provide insights on suppliers from China and Vietnam for merchandise production? I see they offer a wide range of products with affordable pricing but don't know how should I work with them.
I have a suggestion for you in terms of suppliers: Merchize. They offer a diverse range of products at competitive prices and provide enthusiastic support. Personally, I have had a positive experience with them and I am quite satisfied.
Regarding your question about suppliers from China and Vietnam for merchandise production, working with suppliers from these countries can indeed offer you a wide range of products with affordable pricing. To collaborate effectively with them, here are a few steps you can take:
Research and Due Diligence: Conduct thorough research on potential suppliers from China and Vietnam. Look for reviews, ratings, and testimonials from other businesses who have worked with them. This will help you gauge their reliability and quality of products.
Communication: Reach out to the suppliers and establish open lines of communication. Clearly communicate your requirements, expectations, and any specific details you need for your merchandise production. This will help ensure a smooth collaboration.
Samples and Quality Assurance: Request samples of the products you are interested in before placing a bulk order. This will allow you to assess the quality and make any necessary adjustments or improvements before moving forward.
Regular Communication and Feedback: Maintain regular communication with your chosen supplier throughout the production process. Provide feedback on samples, request updates on progress, and address any concerns or issues promptly. This will help ensure a successful partnership.
Remember, it's always advisable to start with smaller orders initially to test the supplier's capabilities and reliability before scaling up. By following these steps and establishing a good working relationship, you can effectively collaborate with suppliers from China and Vietnam for your merchandise production.
Thanks for all this information. If you are advertising your products on your social media pages, which site should you try to send your customers to if your designs are on all 5 passive sites?
I'd send it to the either the site where A: the sales item price is most reasonable and you can expect a better click-through + buy rate, or where B: your profit margin is the largest, or the one where C: the quality of the t-shirt or whatever is best. I'd say it all depends on who you market to - who your buyer is and who you are trying to attract. One-time sale and done? Or getting dependable repeat buyers?
Thank you again Greg! Quick question though, if you make a sale and get a percentage of that sale but later down the road that customer returned the item for a refund, do you end up losing the profit on that sale?
Did you ever get a answer to that question, great question?
What about Gelato? I've just started hearing about them. Are they passive? Do you know anything about them?
Hey Greg, could you guide me please.
So despite ensuring that all logos I create are copy-write-free. Is the content/product I create on POD platforms safe from being copied?
can you sell designs on all platforms at the same time or is that not allowed ?
i was banned from etsy for no reason after several months of creating and i finally got one sell and etsy banned my claiming because im not in the states so im happing to see that there are other market places i can try again so thanks
That's interesting - see ☝️
Can I LICENSE my designs I made o Teespring to Others?
Safe to say, Amazon is the hardest to apply for?
Spreadshirt is not offering branding to my knowledge but they are hit and miss in quality. Please be very specific with them on how you want the design because I've had to send several back for different issues. Other than that the few that were right still holding up 5yrs later tho.
do all passive websites have a Payoneer payment option? because in my country Paypal do not work
tşk
Love from India 🇮🇳
Thanks Avinash!
@@GregGottfried 🙏🙏🙏
What about Society 6?
What about Gelato?
Has he ever said anything about spreadshop?
Thanks, Greg 😊 I have to whine a little, though. Several weeks ago I signed up for Tee Public and read through the terms before uploading anything. It was late and I know better than to upload stuff when I’m tired so I went to sleep. I woke up ready to get started and saw the email saying I was banned 😮 Not sure why because I hadn’t done anything yet. I submitted the form to appeal but never heard back. I know we’re at their mercy but it was frustrating. I decided I’d do my best to keep calm and carry on with something else! There are plenty of options and you mentioned one I never heard of that I can add to my list of possibilities.
That’s weird they banned your account when you hadn’t done anything yet. May I ask did the email give any reasons for the ban at all?
@Financial Freedom Style It said violation of terms but I re-read the terms and have no clue what I did or didn't do. I Googled it and found others who signed up and were banned before even getting started. I felt a tad better knowing it wasn't just me.
@@SimplyConnie247 ah, could that be some kind of glitch I wonder… If you plan to sign up TeePublic again using another email account, maybe have a design or two ready, upload and publish them right away see if that’d solve this quick ban issue.
@Financial Freedom Style I thought about trying a different email. Having a couple designs ready to upload is a great idea! It's worth a shot 😊
I've been banned twice now, I believe if you upload anything that looks or has skull in the title you get banned because of Motocycle Clubs
I can't get to receive my otp when I enter my phone number in amazone merch on demand, do you have a solution for this please?
I wanna start my own tshirt business from scratch like with no experience....So,which route should I start as a beginner? Help me please...❤
HI Greg. Thanks for all your videos. I am in the US Navy. I would like to have a passive income source of revenue and after watching your videos I am really interested in the print on demand business (passive ). I started with Teepublic and my account has been blocked, then I moved to zazzle. I created an account, upload some of my products but it's hard for me to finish my store 100%. your help is greatly appreciated. Many thanks
What do you think about cafe press?
I opened a Cafepress shop about 2 months ago, but have seen no traffic yet.
They are located where I'm from and they don't allow branding if that's something you require however they do good hats, bags and mugs, etc. Imo wouldn't use for apparel tho.
how about shop names and branding? is that an issue? can we just use any name for our shops?
I recommend using the same shop name if you plan to sell the same designs across multiple platforms to be consistent and not to confuse yourself as well as your customers. Amazon Merch On Demand can be slightly different since you can enter any brand name you want for each individual design.
I was wondering if we can connect Etsy store with some of passive POD site and focus more on making design for our store then trying to balance it between design and sending products 🤔? All that is kinda hard when you are new to that and on top of that with regular full time job with irregular working hours trying to change something for yourself and make it better. If something like that is possible, please make video about it 🙏. I would personally like to change my life for better and quite working irregular hours for full time job so I can be more with my family
I have printify connected to my Amazon.
@@merlinshouseoffreereadings4641 Wow that's nice. Can Etsy be connected to printify or Amazon? 🤔 Or is there any option to connect everything to one site? Like one store with different design options. For example every site have it's limitations and some site have specific design patterns while other site don't have that specific pattern. If it's possible to connecte all shope in one (or on one site) it would be much easier since every store will have unique design and we will not need to worry about accommodation of good and sending them /shipping since passive site will be going it for us while being connected to active one whatch will help in promoting our store more. Or I mix it all up. Sorry I didn't watch video again since I'm on break at the moment and am not able to do so. Please do correct me if I'm wrong
Hi Greg. I have applied 4 times but amazon keep refusing my application. I have only 512 characters where I need to submit my application I tried my level best to mention everything whatever I can in simple and professional way but they keep refusing it. Any help please
Do you offer a program teaching POD?
I started just putting everything here on youtube for free rather than charging for any courses or consulting. This is the best all in one video I have: th-cam.com/video/oWh4PP68RsE/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps!
Hello Greg. If someone has a t shirt word phrase or statement, do they need to get it copyright first or what is your opinion? appreciate any help.
Great question. If you made the design yourself, you technically own the copyright to it informally by being the original work creator. This means if someone copies your design, you can email the POD website and report it. They will look to see that you uploaded it first, and that the other is in fact a copy, and they will remove it. If you wanted to go further, you can formally protect your designs for about $500 each with the government.. I've done it in the past and I dont recommend it.. The only difference is if you need to go to court (would not likely ever get to this point), you would be able to show proof of formal protection filed. I hope that makes sense and helps!
@@GregGottfried what would happen if we go to court and I never got it protection filed?
hi greg i loved all ur print on demand videos since i'm in india i couldn't able to sign up for merch by amazon so i thought of planning to go with redbubble and as a start i have huge confusion regarding nichie selection that i should go with a one nichie based or i should with trend based method so if nichie based means how can i get started or idk wht to do now so kindly help me solve this probelm!!
Same bro
It is best to use research tools to help you find out what designs your potential customers are looking for that are less competitive when you first started. There are free tools like Google Trends and Keyword Planner, but the paid tools will give you more detailed research data of course.
For long term strategy, evergreen designs should be the focus. Trending designs usually won’t last long, but they have potential to make good sales if you can catch the waves early enough.
not to worry too much. I started with zero knowledge a year ago. and Redbubble is a very good starting point. You will pick up the right skills along the way!
@@ffstyle thank you so much man!!
@@siewbeekhoo1682 thank you so much mam
When I try to put in my bank on the Amazon Merch, I'm not allowed because I'm in Turkey
Can we upload our same design in multiple sites
Yes, you can do that
I have a Teespring T-shirt shop.
bro is those passive income POD website, can do promote our tshirts in social media ? or no need of it?
You don't need it, but you can do social media promotion to increase sales if you want to.
@@GregGottfried OKie bro thank u so much :)
These pod platforms are also available in India???
Yes 🙌
I was denied Amazon Merch on Demand... because the only website I had was Facebook.. they said no.
No worries, they don't accept everyone on the first try. You can re-apply as many times as you need to get in. I hear a lot of people getting in on the 2nd or 3rd try. Here's my best tips for the application: th-cam.com/video/sKP0AOVbiq8/w-d-xo.html
@@GregGottfried ... do you need a website to upload to amazon merch... isn't amazon mech 'the' website...
I tried 5 times, never accepted, i think they hate that i am from Romania, so sad
@@alexandruandrei9731 Think it's the same for me. Bulgarian here so they deny us by default I believe.

hy I'm New in the field I have a football kit that I would like to sell online What is your advice to me I'm from Morocco
you havent mention gearbubble in any of your vedio. wts wrong in it?
Hi Greg. I applied for Amazon Merch on Demand last week and received a declined email yesterday :( I read that I cannot re-apply once I've been declined. Is this true? Is there any way around it?
Hey no worries. I believe the re-apply is in regards to using the same amazon account. I've spoken to many people who have re-applied with a different email address, and got accepted on the 2nd or 3rd try. I'd keep at it until you get accepted because it's a big site that gets a lot of sales. These are my best tips for the application if you haven't seen this video before: th-cam.com/video/sKP0AOVbiq8/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps!
@@GregGottfried Thank you for letting me know. I'll give it some more tries. And thanks for the link!
For Amazon, we should be live in USA or otherside Amazon we can do.
I am considering a print on demand business to help pay some debt. Is it worth it?
Yes it is, but I really advise going into the low competition niches to actually see sales coming in. More on that here: th-cam.com/video/RUv8uT8Xh_E/w-d-xo.html
Thank you very much! @@GregGottfried
How can I avoid posting the same t-shirt design on a website as someone else?
Great question. By always customizing the templates before downloading them. That way you make it uniquely yours.
Greg I have watched all of your print on demand videos on this channel and yesterday iIreceived E-mail from amazon that I got declined, pls tell me what should I do next
No worries! You can re-apply as many times as needed, just use a different email address each time. I wouldn't sweat it because I've talked to many people who got in on the 2nd or 3rd try.
I really appreciate it, i will listen to you and do exactly how you said 🙌🏼
Hey Greg, I am starting a new t-shirt business. But, unfortunately, I am completely broke and can't afford giving a monthly payment for placeit or canva. Can you please suggest another t-shirt design software that doesn't require any payment. I'll be really grateful if you give me an answer.

Yes they changed their company vision to Active print on demand under their new management.. Not thrilled about it. I swapped them with Teepublic for organic traffic.
